Hi guys, sorry it's taken so long. To be honest, I didn't have any inspiration, which kills me -_-. Anyways, I think my Supernatural Bindings story is going to be on a little haitus until I decide where I wanna go with it. But what if I did a Wonderland themed story with 07 Ghost of Kingdom Hearts? Let me know if you think it's a good idea and which one I should use! :) And a little heads up so no one gets mad, I am gonna alter Teito's past to my advantage, you've been warned.
The walk to Teito's room was completely awkward. Mikhail had such a dangerous and edgy aura about him that it even made Frau intimidated. How could these two be brothers? Aside from looks. Usually twins are at least a little alike, right? Frau sighed mentally. He was trying to wrap his mind around something far to complex. He side glanced at the Teito clone and caught sharp green eyes boring holes into him.
"Um..." Frau spoke nervously. "Is there a reason you're staring at me?" He managed to sputter out. Frau was never afraid to speak his mind, so why now?
"Because I don't like you," the boy spat. Ouch. That was a stab in the side.
"Don't like me? What did I do to you?!" Frau snapped, halting their walk and glared at the clone. This kid really made Frau's temper boil over the top. It was practically seeping out of his ears by now.
"I just don't," Mikhail explained. It was like hating people was an everyday thing for him. Shocker.
"Are you always like this?!" Frau spoke. He wasn't yelling, yet, but his voice was louder than normal.
"Frau are you OK?" A familiar voice asked. Frau turned around to see his prince standing behind him, a muffin in one hand and a cup of brown liquid in the other. The sight of Teito made Frau's anger melt away and he smiled.
"Yeah I'm OK." Frau answered. His anger rose again as he heard movement beside him. He looked to see Mikhail stepping around him.
"Teito~!" Mikhail squealed. He took a running start and tackled his twin to the floor. Teito yelped, dropping his drink and food. The liquid spilled all over the hall and the muffin fell into large and small chunks.
"M-Mikhail?! W-What are you doing here?" Teito gasped, trying to shift his weight so he wasn't being crushed. Mikhail hugged his brother tightly and smothered him. He was acting like a five-year-old who just got a new stuffed animal. Frau blinked in confusion, unsure of what to do.
"I came to see how my baby brother was doing, being so far away from home and all." Mikhail explained, acting innocent.
"That wasn't my home Mikhail, they were glad to get rid of me."
"Oh don't say that Teitor-Tot~!" Mikhail giggled. Frau was completely weirded out.
Teito sighed and pushed his twin off, non-violently. Frau reached a hand out to help the boy up. Teito smiled and reached up to take the man's hand, then it was gone. Mikhail had jumped up and pushed Frau away and helped his twin up. Teito sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"Mikhail, this is Frau."
"We've met." Mikhail spoke, venom in his voice. Teito shook his head.
"Alright. Let's go to my room." Teito broke through the tension and began walking, his two companions following.
Frau watched Teito closely, something was bothering him. It started when Teito mentioned his "home". Was something wrong with his home life? When Teito mentioned it, her seemed pained. How could a kid like Teito not have a true home? He was a good kid after all.
They reached Teito's room and the twins sat on the bed while Frau sat in Teito's desk chair. Mikhail looked around, curiosity gleaming in his emerald green pupils. He was a spitting image of Teito and Frau couldn't help but marvel at the boy, until he opened his mouth. As Mikhail examined the room, he threw question after question out into the air at 100 mph., it got really annoying, even Teito looked annoyed.
Frau rolled his eyes and looked at Teito's desk and noticed a book. He picked it up and eyed the cover. The background that surrounded the image striped, made of black and ill-green colored stripes. The image contained a girl with bright, long, golden hair held back by a black head band. Her skin was a pale white. She wore a blue, old style dress with an white apron-like cover on the front. She wore black flats to match the head band. She was sitting on her knees in a small hallway, watching a rabbit in a yellow and blue waistcoat with a watch chain hanging out of the pocket. 'Alice in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll.
"Where did you get this Teito?" Frau asked. He suddenly felt a glare hit him. He looked and seen the doppelganger glaring.
"You interrupted me..." Mikhail said threateningly.
"Castor let me have it. He said it was a sin for not reading it yet," Teito smiled at the comment of Castor. Frau laughed. At both Teito not caring about Mikhail being interrupted and by Castors' words.
Mikhail's already-existing temper began to rise. He didn't like these to being so close. He never liked anyone being close to his brother. It took him years to adjust to Mikage being around, but he gave in to the boy once he realized he wasn't a threat. But Frau on the other hand, Mikhail knew he was more than a threat, he was a danger to the twins. He didn't want Teito to get hurt and he believed Frau might just do that. As Mikhail opened his mouth the door swung open. Mikage entered, a little of breathe.
"Mikage! There you are!" Teito exclaimed. He rose to his feet and rushed over to his friend, looking concerned. Mikage gave him a reassuring smile. Teito smiled back and hugged his best friend. He was so relieved to know that he wasn't mad anymore. Mikage hugged back and patted the boy's back. He noticed Frau and tensed a little, then spotted Teito's twin and blinked.
"Mikhail?! Long time no see!" Mikage cheered running and hugging the twin. He knew Mikhail wasn't much for affection, but neither was Teito at first, so there was still hope for the boy.
"Hey Mikage," Mikhail muttered, feeling awkward and unsure of what to do. Mikhail laughed and ruffled the boys hair then sat on his bed.
"So what brings you here?" Mikage asked.
"I'm here to see my brother, duh."
"Hehe fair enough."
Teito watched them converse and looked out the window. It was such a nice day and he hated being stuffed in a small room with his best friend who are having issues, his aggressive brother, and the prince of campus. It may sound wonderful to some, but to Teito, it was his own personal Hell. After multiple questions shared between his friends he eventually tuned them out and watched other students roam the court yard.
The beautiful flower arrangements reminded him of home. His original home, before his dad was killed. He was a son to the governor, so he got to do just about anything. But misfortune was brought onto the family and his dad was murdered. So Teito got sent to live with his twin brother and his family. The father was cruel and the mother was a two-bit whore that didn't give a damn about the kids. He hated his life until he moved away and got to this school. If it wasn't for Mikage living close by then Teito would've lived in the meaning of Hell.
Teito felt a set of eyes watching. He didn't even realize he was lost in thought until he turned to see bright blue eyes focused on him. Frau had been staring at him, but for how long? Teito stared back, green orbs strong but feeble. The thoughts running through his head weakened the wall he put up and punctured his self esteem, making him uneasy. Frau noticed the deep wound and smiled sweetly, reassuring the boy. Teito blinked but smiled back. Why did Frau always make him feel so much better? Not even Mikage did that most of the time.
"I'm going to go get something to drink," Teito suddenly spoke, standing. Frau stood also and nodded.
"I'll go with."
The two left the brother and friend behind and walked side by side down the hall. For some reason it was awkwardly silent, but Teito believed that was his fault. He fiddled with his fingers and played with his hair and ever thing else known to man to calm your nerves. Eventually he got the guts to speak.
"Sorry about Mikhail. He's a jerk all the time."
"Eh," Frau responded, unfazed by his brother apparently. Or just wouldn't show it. "What was on your mind that made you so upset?"
"It's nothing."
"Just tell me kiddo, I won't say anything mean or tell anyone. Promise." Frau looked at him sincerely. Teito blinked. He couldn't believe he was able to trust him so easily. He sighed in defeat and averted his gaze to the floor as he spoke.
"When I lived with my real father, he was the governor of my home, making him pretty high up. He was an amazing man and made sure I was always smiling. When I turned 8, it all turned for the worst. He had been fighting with another higher up, I'm not sure who though he was. But when I came home from school my home was surrounded by police, firefighters, medics, you name it. I snuck around the police and got inside and there he was. My father was lying on the floor, in a puddle of blood, dead. He had been pierced by a sword, but it was gone. Hi eyes were wide open, glazed over with fear. It was terrible..." He explained, his voice quiet. Frau blinked. He didn't realize how bad it was.
"Teito I'm-"
"I'm not done."
"Okay..." Frau mumbled. How could it get any worse?
"They couldn't exactly stick me in an orphanage, so they sent me to live with my brother and his family. We were split up at birthday for unknown reason. His new dad was a general, a ruthless, cold-hearted, evil man. He treated my brother worse than a piece of scum, but Mikhail seemed to love him anyways. And the mom wasn't much better. She was always sleeping around, doing drugs, yelling at us, she never cared for us... I survived that hose from 8 until now." He explained, hope somewhat rising in his voice. Teito realized, after saying it all out loud, that he was a lot stronger than he'd ever realized. He had overcome obstacles most people wouldn't even dream of.
Frau grabbed the boys wrist and pulled him into a tight embrace. He felt so bad for Teito. He wished he could erase all the pain, but then Teito might not be Teito. People's pain and suffering are what build them to be strong, and he knew this kid was one of the strongest. He buried his face into the chocolate brown hair and closed his eyes. He wanted to share Teito's pain, make it more bearable for him.
"Teito."
"Y-Yeah?"
"I'll always be there for you. Got it?" Frau asked, pulling away slightly. He slipped a finger under Teito's chin and raised his head so they were looking at each other.
"O-Okay." Teito swallowed hard. His cheeks were becoming hot, which meant he was starting to blush. Frau smiled at the sight.
Slowly, the prince leaned down, closing the gap between the two. Their lip met in a soft, loving kiss. Teito froze, not sure how to exactly respond to the situation. Soon Frau slightly deepened it. Teito slowly closed his eyes and returned the kiss, enjoying the feeling of their lips touching. A buzzing was vibrating through his head and his body was filled with electricity. Was this the feeling people always spoke of when they kissed their love? Eventually the two broke for air, panting slightly. Teito's head spun, emotions swirling uncontrollably.
"Let's get back." Frau smiled and pushed the boy, making sure he could walk Okay. Teito's head was so submerged in thought that he was tripping over his own feet.
Yes I know this chapter's a little shorted, but I mean, let's be honest, I couldn't do too much right? And they can't get together just yet. This was also I guess a set up for a future even. Which may happen next chapter, not sure yet. But like I said, keep readin and enjoyin', you guys are my main inspiration! If there's anything you might want me to through in, let me know and I'll put it into consideration AND give you credit as well! But also, let me know what you think about the Wonderland idea, I'd love so feedback on it. Tata for now!
