I will remember that day for as long as I live. It was my first class at Saotome. Everyone was seated except for two guys at the back of the class , who were bickering about something, one of them was my classmate during highschool. Our homeroom teacher , a pretty famous poet , came in and the class fell silent. Well ...everyone except for the two guys at the back. One of them was facing the class , and saw the teacher so he shut up , but the other one , a tall , long-haired , blonde boy , was with his back turned and continued talking.
'' ... and so it is unacceptable ! '' he said before the teacher patted him on the shoulder, to show him to his seat. Thing is , the teacher didn't know he was a he. Back then , uniforms weren't always respected , and girls sometimes wore pants , instead of skirts. This boy had really long hair , so it was easy to mistake him for a girl ,if you didn't pay attention at the rest of his body. As I was saying ; the teacher approached this guy and said :
''Young Lady , if you don't mind , I have a class to teach.''
''HOW DARE YOU ! '' the blonde guy turned around and yelled , with an outraged look on his face.
The teacher was shocked and almost dropped his notebook.
''DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE ADRESSING ?'' the blonde continued ''I AM CAMUS , COUNT OF PERMAFROST,UNDER THE SILK QUEEN !''
''I beg your pardon. But I still won't allow you to disrupt my class. Please be kind enough to get seated ...Count. You too , Kurosaki ! '' he said , pointing to the boy Camus was arguing with.
That was how my first class went.
Weeks later , instead of doing a composer-idol pair-up , like they usually do at Saotome , they paired idols with idols and composers with composers. I got paired with the Count , in other words , with Camus. He and I were paired up because we were both in the ''String-section'' . I played violin and he played cello .
We were supposed , as idols , to compose for ourselves ;because they said that sometimes , we won't have composers by our side.
'' My name is _ _ . Pleased to meet you Camus-san ! ''
''Pleasure is all mine , Y/N. '' he said , in a charismatic way . That deep voice of his and the way he said that made me slightly blush.
''OOooiii Y/N !'' our classmate Kurosasaki Ranmaru called for me. He and I were quite close , since we went to the same highschool , and both of us loved cats. ''You forgot your notebook in class.''
''Oh , thank you Ranmaru ...Sorry for the trouble.'' he just gave me a weird , Ranmaru smile then glared at Camus, then he waved goodbye and left.
''The two of you friends , Y/N ? '' Camus asked, sounding disgusted , by something that for me was unknown.
''Ah ...yes.'' I answered.
''Right ... Well then ...Where shall we do our composing work ? Is it okay if we do it at my house ? ''
I blushed, for no obvious reason , and looked at him.
''Do you mean your dorm ?''
''Ah no , I mean my actual house. It's not very far from here.''
''Are you sure it's okay ? I wouldn't want to intrude. ''
''It's perfectly fine. I live alone.''
I blushed harder , thinking about how I would be in a house , alone with a handsome man.
2 days later, on Saturday , we went to his house. It was a pretty small house , but it was nicely decorated and cozy ...oh and ...
''Aaaah ! '' I let out a high-pitched scream as a long haired dog jumped on me.
''ALEXANDER ! DOWN ! '' Camus commanded and the next second the dog was off of me , sitting down in an elegant manner , as if nothing had ever happened.
''Y/N , this is my dog, Alexander.''
''He's beautiful.'' I say , admiring the beast's coat.
''Thank you .'' he said , as if I were complimenting him.
We talked about the music for a bit , and then we showed each other a few parts on our instruments , he on his cello , and me on my violin. Then he said it was time for tea.
He brought a pot of tea , and a bunch of sweets and pastry.
''Please help youself .'' , he said pushing the tray of sweets closer to me.
''Thank you.'' I accepted the sweets and started to put one in my mouth , one by one , while we were discussing and drinking tea.
Before I knew it , the sweets were gone. I reached my hand to take another but ...the tray was empty. I realized I had eaten them all.
''Oh God ! I'm sorry Camus-san ! I ate all of them ! ''
''It's quite alright.'' he chuckled , looking at how I was red from head to toe.
I kept going over every weekend for almost two months , and so we completed 2 songs. We played them in front of our class, our homeroom teacher and Shining Saotome and we won as the best idol-idol pairing .Our prise was , as Shining put it , GLORRYYYYYYYYY, a concert and a week off from school (after the concert which was going to be in a month) .
The concert was majestic , as he'd say. In the dressing room , he'd complain about everything , saying that the water was too warm , or that the painting wasn't straight , and he kept insisting that no one touch his hair. But his hair needed to be done for the show ... So I said :
''Camus-san , would you prefer me doing your hair ? I have a bit of experience ... I used to help my classmate's with their hair quite often , back in highschool. ''
''Ah ...Y/N ...Well , I guess it would be better if you did it ...'' he gave in.
His hair was so soft , all I wanted to do is stroke it , but we had to go on stage.
After the concert , he invited me to his house.
''But it's late Camus-san ! ''I said
''Is that a problem ?'' he asked looking me straight in the eyes.
I really wanted to go. I wasn't a little girl anymore and it wouldn't have been something wrong to spend the night at a guy's place. My mind was all over the place. I wanted to go , but I didn't know what would happen ...Several seconds later , I gave in to my desires.
''Um , no . On second thought , I'd love to come.''
''Majestic ! '' he smirked.
We went there , and he made some tea , and brought me some sweets.
''I know you like these.'' he smiled , laying the tray in front of me.
I looked down , remembering how I had stuffed myself the last time he gave me sweets .
''You can eat them all, don't worry.'' he sweetly laughed.
Alexander came over and laid himself down at my feet.
''Alexander has taken quite a liking to you , Y/N . ''
''I'm glad he has.''
''He's better than a cat , isn't he ?''
I gave him a weird smile.
''Oh come on ! You know he is...''
''Don't do this to me Camus-san ! You know I adore cats with all my heart ! ''
''But ! Dogs ! ''
''Camus-sannn ! ''
''At least admit it ! You like my dog ! ''
''I never said I didn't ! ''
We laughed for a few seconds , but then I felt something against my lips. No . Not something. Someone. Camus had suddenly kissed me.
His lips were cold but they grew warmer with each second. He gently opened his mouth and asked for entrance to mine. We made out for minutes , until finally , I broke the kiss.
My heart skipped several beats , and I felt like I was in a dream. I began stroking his hair , while we silently looked at each other.
''Y/N...I believe I am in love with you.''
I smiled and nodded ''Yeah ...I think I am too.''
Then he kissed me again , and naturally I kissed him back. Alexander just let out a sigh and left the room .
Camus pushed me down on the couch and his hot breath hit my ear while he whispered :
''I'll teach you the tenderness of night , so close your eyes , Y/N .''
Just before falling asleep , I remember him singing in my ear :
''A fleeting rhapsody, a heart of ice…are confusing me
Will you make me melt? …Oh, my precious…
While under the influence called 'dreams,' from a prison of frozen love,
I felt nothing born in the heat of this majestic love
The aurora rains down, the two of us will believe
In eternity… I'll kneel only to you in this majestic love''
We started properly dating. He told me all about Permafrost and about how he was a Count under the Silk Queen. He told me that the people there don't have last names and how the Silk Queen gave him his name. Soon enough , he started working with Reiji , Ai ,and to my surprise Ranmaru.
''Ehhh ! You're dating this dude ?'' Ranmaru asked me , the moment he saw me holding Camus' hand.
I gave him a smile .
''Yeah. I guess I am.''
Then Ranmaru, being a good friend , scratched his cheek and he actually blushed a bit and said :
''Well , I'm happy if you're happy so ... Yeah , I'm happy for you two , but you'd better take care of her Camus ! ''
''Of course !'' Camus gave his first genuine smile to Ranmaru.
Remember those verses Camus sang to me a while ago ? Those ended up in his single ''Zettai Reido Emotion'' .
He was still an arrogant dude , but ever since we started dating , I told him to stop that and try to be a bit more humble. That didn't exactly work , but he did try his best not to react from every little thing. And I noticed something else ! He actually started helping other people. A man had dropped his glasses on the street once , and Camus picked them up and gave him the glasses. I mean , that's probably what a lot of people would have done ,but it was quite unusual for our Count to do so . I also saw him give an awkward little smile when the man thanked him.
We didn't move in together , but we saw each other almost every day. The most time we'd been apart was 3 days.
A few years after we started dating , I was playing my violin in the common rehearsal room at our studio , when Camus came in. He waited for me to finish playing and then , without a word he got down on one knee , cleared his throat and said :
''I love you Y/N ! You warmed up more than my cold soul , which was something I never thought possible. From the day we started going out, up until the ends of time , I shall kneel before you and none other. The Silk Queen is nothing but a mere memory of my past . You are now my queen and the one I gladly hand my life over to. With those being said ...Please ! Let me have your last name !Marry me ! '' and with those words he pulled out a little heart-shaped box in which a beautiful ring had it's place.
Of course I accepted.
''Wouldn't a spring wedding be nice ? ''I said , when we were deciding the wedding date.
Camus made a bitter face.
''Oh that's right ! You don't like spring ...Okay then , summer . And Alexander can come to the wedding too.''
''That sounds majestic !''
''You traitor .'' Ranmaru sighed when I went dresspicking with him. I never realized it , but he and I were, well , we are best friends.
''Why am I a traitor ?''
''Because you went ahead and got engaged to him. And don't you think it's weird that he'll be getting your last name ?''
''I don't see a problem, since he doesn't have one. I thought you'd be happy ! I even made you my bridesmaid !'' I chuckled
''That's not funny !''
''I beg to differ. And besides , you're getting married too ! So again , I don't see a problem.''
''Shhh! Don't say it so loud ! It's supposed to be a secret . Are you forgetting we're famous ?''
''Well no. But Reiji already went ahead and announced a bunch of his friends about the wedding.''
''Why that little ...'' Ranmaru mumbled
''But you love him.''
''Yeah ,yeah . Shut up and pick a dress already ! ''
And I did pick a dress. And my wedding day did come.
Alexander was there as ...believe it or not , Camus's bestman. My family was there, analyzing Camus.
That night , at the end , Camus swept me off my feet (he literally did ) , and carried me to a white horse. Then we rode away on an alternate , unpopulated route to our house.
Later on , before falling to sleep , he whispered :
''Thank you , my queen.''
For ~SilverStarlightXD .
I hope you liked it . And I'm sorry for the RanmaruxReiji at the end , but they're my UtaPri OTP , and I just couldn't help myself. Please do let me know what you think
I hope the rest of you also liked it (and yes , you should also tell me what you thought of this)
I didn't exactly know Alexander's breed , so I imagined him to be one of those majestic , long-haired dogs. I also used stuff from Camus' song. And whatever else I could have used from the wiki xD
Thanks for reading
See ya around ^_^
