A/N: Something I wrote quite a while ago, really short, and really required no imagination or creativity, now that I read it again (x
Summary: What is there to say? Nezumi thinking about Sion.. like always.
Disclaimer: I wonder if I have to write one of these in every drabble I post.. seems kind of redundant, don't you think?
No.6 is in no way mine, if it were, it'd be written in English so I could read all the novels without waiting for other people to translate them TT_TT
IV. Surprises
There were all kinds of people in the world.
People that were really intelligent, people that were wise, people that were clever, and people that just seemed to be experienced in all aspects of life.
Then there were the people that were naïve, the people that were ignorant, or the people that were just plain stupid.
But Sion.
Sion was on a whole other level, all to himself.
No, Sion didn't even have a level, he transcended levels.
He was the kind of being that could make a normally level headed person begin to question the existence of realism itself.
Sion at first glance was the smartest kid Nezumi ever knew, or could ever hope to know. He could easily explain macromolecule blotting and probing for the hybridisation of blotted DNA, and how to use allele specific oligonucleotide to detect single base mutations, without batting a single eyelash.
He knew how many heart beats a minute a healthy human should have, under normal circumstances in a neutral environment, and he knew how to perform biopsies on humans and five other species of mammals.
He was on his way to enrol in No.6's Special Curriculum program, and had a pretty little future planned out ahead of him.
But then, on the other hand, Sion had to be the dumbest, most clueless kid Nezumi had ever met.
It was a wonder that Sion had even managed to function as a working member of society before Nezumi took him under his wing (what a gracious, most unfitting way of describing their relationship. There certainly was no "taking under the wing". It was more like "oh here's the pitiful little boy that saved my life four years ago, let's not leave him to die").
Sion had, as far as Nezumi knew, just about no street smarts, and even less tact and shame.
He easily turned his back to Nezumi, without the fear of ever being attacked, or abandoned.
And just when he seems to be the most vulnerable, he always goes and does something completely unexpected, catching Nezumi off guard, unprepared.
Somehow, Sion could always surprise Nezumi.
And in Nezumi's world, surprises got you killed.
A/N: Aren't I so creative in thinking up titles...
