"Oh my god it's President Fredrick!" Girl A exclaimed.

"Isn't it cute?" Girl B showed the picture in pride, she asked "I heard this app can create retro vintage effects. I wanted to check if it works so I took a picture of him!"

"That's awesome! I want that photo too!" Girl A begged.

"No way! Cuz with this photo I'll definitely score well in the practice exam coming up!"

Meanwhile Lissa and Cordelia had overheard the two gushing over the picture.

"I still have that picture of little Freddy crying loudly after a tumble on flat ground." Lissa snorted.

"Really?" Cordelia giggled "Weren't we 5 at the time?"

"Yeah." Lissa laughed, her mirth was cut short when a teacher appeared behind her.

"Lissa… where's your history homework?" He growled.

Lissa just panicked "Uh I forgot it at home?"

"Not today miss" he handed her a detention slip "It starts in 15 minutes, prepare your books and a pen"

"Awwww" Lissa grumbled before sprawling over her desk in annoyance, "Guess I better go early, unless I want him even more pissed"

"Good luck" Cordelia waved.

"Thanks" Lissa pouted, still somewhat salty that Cordelia hadn't let her copy the homework.

Cordelia sighed before looking down at her plain cell phone, it had a camera as well, but nothing fancy about the apps like the two before had. Robin noticed that she looked a little down and walked over.

"You alright Cordelia?" He smiled when she looked up. "They're talking about apps right? Apps are pretty amazing right now."

"It's all beyond me" Cordelia shrugged "But I can still take pictures with this cell phone can't I?"

"Yeah you can" Robin confirmed "But you can only get ordinary photos. You can't add affects to them" he looked down in slight disappointment "mine can't do that either. I wish I could have a smartphone"

"Is that so…" Cordelia glared at her phone before looking at Robin "So if you had a smartphone what would you take a picture of?"

"Ah" Robin looked started walking back to his seat "I would take a picture of you Cordelia."

Cordelia's head snapped towards Robin in shock "Huh?!"

"Gotcha" Robin grinned cheekily "I was just kidding"

"Kidding?!" Cordelia couldn't believe it! "DON'T DO THAT!"

"Sorry" Robin chuckled "It was just a joke."

Cordelia was so conflicted, she couldn't tell if he was joking because he sounded so sincere when he said it. NO WHY WAS HE KIDDING?!

The bell rang and the two quieted down as Lissa returned from her 15 minute detention (Wish I could have had a 15 minute detention in school LOL)

(At Severa's Primary school)

"Boys and Girls, school's over!" The teacher announced as the kids cheered "Take care on your way home!"

"YEAHHHHH" The boys exclaimed.

In 5 minutes the school playground had mostly cleared up, however two kids remained.

"So…." Inigo asked, shuffling his feet "you're not going home?"

Severa sighed before replying "No…" after deciding whether or not to confide in the annoying boy she decided to tell him "I just feel like it's really hard for me to stay home right now…"

"Why's that" Inigo gestured to the spot next to Severa and she waved for him to go ahead.

"Well it's something that I've felt for a long time actually" Severa rested her head on her palm "I don't want to bother the two of them…"

After some time Inigo figured who she was talking about "You mean your older sister and Robin?"

"Yeah" Severa looked down a bit sadly "It's honestly a real opportunity for the two of them to stay alone together!"

"Oh dear…" Inigo muttered, so you've been stuck between them for so long? I feel soooo sorry for you…

"Alright, forget about it! I'll just play outside!" Severa stood up and started stretching "my goal for the year is to learn how to dance!"

"Really?!" Inigo shot up a bit too quickly for Severa but the girl nodded. "Come with me!" he grabbed her hand and started dragging her.

"Where are we going idiot!" Severa blushed, not quite used to being touched by anyone but her family and Robin.

"To my house!" Inigo smiled "My sister's amazing at dancing!"

Although Severa wasn't fully convinced she just let him drag her along, after all, his sister was also quite pretty, so she can't be that bad a person right?

(Back at Cordelia's house)

"I think Severa is in a period of rebellion right now…" Cordelia sighed as she glanced at the clock from their spot in the living room. "She's been coming home very late recently…"

"Oh, really?" Robin waved his notebook to fan himself in the horrible heat.

However unknown to the two of them, they were the reasons of her rebellion…

"Her period of rebellion has come rather early." Robin stated.

The two of them have no idea what's going on…

"Wait, Cordelia." He gestured at his notebook "can I use this formula here?"

"Hm?" She looked over at his page "Let me see." After staring at it for a bit she answered "Well, since you used this formula you need to…"

"Oh" he started writing "then the answer to this question should be…"

"Nope you're wrong" Cordelia flat out told him.

"God dammit" Robin frowned in frustration as he stared at the paper as if glaring at it would help him out.

"Come on!" Cordelia sighed "The practice exam is just around the corner!" she looked at him in slight worry "Can you handle it?"

Robin smiled sheepishly "Of course… I can't handle it!" he started laughing however laughing made him feel warmer so he stopped and started flapping his book even more vigorously.

"Sorry about the heat" Cordelia muttered, resting her face on her palm. "The air conditioner doesn't work. The repairman will come tomorrow."

"That's fine" Robin replied nonchalantly "I'm heat resistant anyways"

Cordelia returned to her work however after getting through another line of an equation Robin blurted out "Although I don't wear clothes while sleeping."

"Oh…" however after Cordelia processed what he said she dropped her pen in shock "WHA!?" Cordelia felt her cheeks ignite; she turned away after her short outburst, hoping to hide her blush from him. "You sleep naked?" she asked timidly. Are all boys like this?

"Huh?" Robin realized his blunder and felt slightly mortified"No! I wear shorts!" I didn't think there would be anything surprising about that though…

Cordelia looked away from him, still embarrassed. Thinking about it… it always seemed easy for him to take his clothes off. She stole a glance at him and watched a sweat drop drip from his cheek to his neck and disappears into his loose collar. She mentally smacked herself for staring, although he hasn't done that recently… Cordelia dropped her pen when she realized something; wait… was I supposed to feel awkward whenever he took his clothes off? IM A GIRL! THIS IS EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. IT'S ABSOLUTELY MORTIFYING! After giving it some thought she coughed getting Robin's attention "Hey Robin" she twiddled her fingers shyly "can you show me your tattoos?"

"Hm?" Robin looked up from his work "Sure" he replied without hesitation, his hands already flew to his shirt and unbuttoned a few of them.

"No!" Cordelia's face could rival the sun in heat and redness "Don't do that!"

"HUH?!" Robin stopped but he was thoroughly confused"

"H-How c-can you take off your clothes so quickly?" Cordelia started panicking and stuttered "Don't you doubt others?" She was looking anywhere else but him, "You're horrible!" Such a tease as well!

Robin just stared at her dumbfounded "I think the reaction that you had was more horrible" he muttered weakly.

Cordelia calmed (tried to) herself before looking at Robin, "so, Robin, would you readily take your clothes off in front of others?" I need to know!

What's she going on about? "I can't do that, because they would see my tattoos" Robin pointed at his arm.

"Even in front of Vaike?" Cordelia persisted.

"It's fine with him, he's seen my tattoos before" Robin replied, why did she ask about teach?

Cordelia looked down at her work, I don't think Vaike's heartbeat would quicken if Robin took off his clothes in front of him… she looked back up at him, because they're both guys. "That's fine because you're both guys right?"

"Uh" Robin stared at her weirdly "I think it all depends on the situation…"

Cordelia looked up again "Well, then…"

However she stopped when Robin put up his hand "Stop it!" he looked at her oddly "To put it bluntly, Cordelia, what's wrong with you? Or what's wrong that you want to address?"

"Ro-Robin, you always behave so naturally." She stuttered slightly "So I'm wondering if you would ever feel awkard." She tilted her head slightly to look at him at a different angle "You know, I've almost never seen you feel shy, isn't that true?" she covered her face slightly with her hands "when we're together, only I act flustered." She pointed at her face "and my face turns read easily"

Robin didn't really know how to answer, so he decided to be as polite as possible "Yes, ma'am."

Cordelia looked away in shock, YOU WERE SO POLITE he said 'yes ma'am' HOLY CRAP!

"Um…" Robin wondered, "Was I supposed to feel awkward then?" I think I've thought of it before… but Cordelia can be quite the airhead when she doesn't know much about the subject… "Alright then" he chuckled slightly "I see!" he made to take off his shirt "Let's do it again!"

"No!" Cordelia flailed her arms to stop him "No need no need!" she noticed something "Wait what's the difference? You still didn't act shy!"

"It's so hot" Robin groaned "wearing less keeps me cool!"

"Huh!?" Cordelia shielded her eyes from almost topless Robin "But you said you were ok with it!"

"Wait, Cordelia!" he held his palm out again "Does that mean you think I would be indifferent to whatever I do myself or whatever others would do to me?"

After some consideration Cordelia nodded "Yeah a little bit" making an o with her index finger and thumb.

Robin fidgeted slightly before continuing "Um… actually, the other day…"

Cordelia stared at his slightly embarrassed form, so he does get embarrassed!

"I met a classmate from junior high…" he didn't look her in the eye "I didn't tell you about it."

(That other day)

Robin was walking home alone, he had just finished school so he had rolled up his sleeves and took off his tie. He almost didn't hear it when a voice called to him over the busy streets.

"Yo Bubbles! Is that you?" the owner of the voice waved at him, grabbing his attention.

"Huh?" Robin turned around and looked in surprise "Gaius!"

"Hey man, long time no see!" the ginger smiled whilst waving at Robin, "I see you're still wearing piercings!"

This is Gaius, one of Robin's only friends in his time in junior high. His hair is a dull orange, and he wears a black headband to keep some from falling in front of his face, how he manages to keep multiple layers out of the headband is beyond anyone's comprehension. His sweet tooth is insane, you could see multiple sweet wrappers on his body and his bag looked filled to the brim with it as well.

"Hey man let's walk and talk!" Gaius walked alongside Robin giving no room for argument "It's been a long time."

"Yeah I suppose it has" Robin smiled

"Speaking of a long time," Gaius grinned and pointed a finger at Robin "I envy you so much Robin. Even you can be so lucky."

"Huh?" Robin looked at him in confusion "What are you talking about?"

"Come on! Don't play dumb!" He chuckled.

"Hm? You mean grade promotion?" Robin jabbed at the reason he didn't see Gaius as often as he used to.

"HEYYYYY don't talk about that you jerk!" Gaius jabbed him lightly in the shoulder, not too hard since he remembered when he triggered Robin's defense system.

Gaius had to repeat a grade due to poor attendance.

"You've been close with a girl, right?" Gaius asked, "I was talking about the girl"

"Ah right" Robin nodded "Yeah she's my classmate"

"That sounds awesome!" Gaius pat Robin on the back "I also want to have a girlfriend!"

Robin did a double take "HUH?!" WTF IS HE TALKING ABOUT. Robin actually walked up to him slightly annoyed "No, No! She's not my girlfriend!"

"Are you kidding?" Gaius looked at him "Everyone says you're dating"

"Everyone?" Robin muttered, what? "Alright I don't give a damn about those rumors. But it's unfair to Cordelia!"

"You still call her Cordelia?" Gaius looked at him with a smile creeping onto his face "Doesn't she have a nickname you could call her by?" Gaius tapped his chin "She's your girlfriend!"

They stood there awkwardly, Robin just staring at him in annoyance and Gaius staring at him with hope

"Thanks for the reminder…" Robin muttered.

"Oh!" Gaius ignored Robin's murderous glare "She's very popular right?"

"Um…" Still somewhat annoyed by Gaius he replied "Yeah, I guess so. A lot of guys confessed to her."

Gaius actually grabbed Robin "Then why don't you take this seriously?! You gotta keep an eye one her!"

Robin just glared at him venomously "WHAT DO YOU WANT" He nearly hit him "Leave me alone!"

(End of flashback)

"Wow…" Cordelia just muttered, who woulda thought people would think we were a couple (um wtf have you guys seen what you do together?)

"That's it" Robin slouched slightly feeling drained "well, I never expected that he would think you were my girlfriend, that made me feel slightly embarrassed…" Robin's phone started vibrating so he flipped it open. "Anyway, just forget about it. Next time I'll tell him clearly that you're not my girlfriend"

"Really?" Cordelia mumbled, looking away "A-actually, you don't have to do that"

"Oh! It's from Gaius!" In his (stupid) concentration on his phone he hadn't heard Cordelia at all. "he sent me a message…" Robin's face quickly changed into a look of shock, not terror just shock.

"What's wrong?" Cordelia was surprised. Robin never makes this face.

"Oh uh nothing's wrong" Robin just glared at his phone.

"The message contains an image? Let me see!" Cordelia leaned over the table.

"AHHH!" Robin started moving away with the phone

"Hey! Don't go away!" Cordelia tried to grab his phone "You'll make me even more curious about it!"

"Please! Just forget about it ma'am!" He moved out of her reach with a dark look on his face.

"Don't call me Ma'am again!" Cordelia whined. "Hey! Don't be so stingy let me have a look!" she stretched her hand with effort.

(The text)

There was an attachment, it was a selfie of Gaius and a girl with pink hair, although blushing madly the girl still somehow looked really photogenic.

The text itself was Gaius being Gaius…

'I have a girlfriend now. Hehe! She's very cute isn't she? Next time we four can hang out together. I promised her that, so please do take it seriously. By the way don't forget to use a condom!

Love Gaius

(Back to reality)

"NO way!" Robin yelled in annoyance "I'm deleting this shit!"

"Woah!" Cordelia recoiled slightly "You scared me slightly!"

"Sorry Sorry!" Robin apologized whilst rapidly tapping the buttons on his phone.

"Ah… I've never seen you so act so flustered before." She stared at him in slight amazement. Even Robin can get flustered pretty badly huh…

"Um… well the guy's an idiot." He waved his hand in a super dismissive manner "I'm serious"

Cordelia just continued to watch as the phone rang, speaking of which, you seldom talk about your junior high school life. She smiled slightly, it's good that you at least had one friend to help.

Gaius picked up the phone "Hello!" he realized who it was "Wait~? Is this Bubbles~?" he seemed quite happy that Robin had called him.

"GO DIE!" Robin yelled into the mic before hanging up immediately after, his breath was slightly erratic and Cordelia just stared in shock.

"You used to talk to your junior highschool classmates like this?" a small smile creeped onto her face, I never thought he would also get mad over something. I'm really surprised.

"Sorry I just couldn't help it" he scratched his head sheepishly.

"Well, then how about you talk to Vaike and the others in this way too?" Cordelia fiddled with her hands underneath the chair, you could also call me Cordy?

"Uh… I don't think I can manage to do that until I'm closer with them." Robin smiled forcefully.

"Aren't you very close with them now?" Cordelia leant back against her chair, how come he's so modest in these situations? It's kinda weird…

"Wait?" he started chuckling "really?"

"Come on!" Cordelia sighed "That's the same creepy look on your face the first time we talked about being friends!" actually that was false. I had never seen that kind of expression on his face before… she looked down at her work a bit sadly. What did people think of him in junior high school?

"Cordelia?" When Robin got her attention he continued "It's getting dark. I gotta go home." He started buttoning up his shirt (Which made her blush again over what had transpired) "I'll ask Severa to come back as soon as possible of I see her."

Cordelia smiled with content, he still cares about Severa even now huh… Cordelia got up as well "Let's go together" she went to grab her purse "it's so hot so let's get some ice cream along the way."

"Good idea!" Robin chuckled "I can always use more sugar" however he muttered under his breath "none for Gaius though"

(With Gaius)

Gaius was sighing happily that he got such a cute girlfriend. "Olivia~!" he smiled as he happily held onto the picture that he took. His phone rang and he happily jumped for it. "Oh it's Robin~!" one of his (now) two favorite people.

He opened the text message. 'FUCK YOU!' was the only text that was written. Gaius cried slightly "I know he loves me kinda" after crying a little bit he noticed there was a image. Opening it he laughed when it was a picture of Robin flipping him off however he saw the girl in the background and grew interested.

"So that's Cordelia huh~" He shoved a lollipop into his mouth "I might say hi if I see her in public.

(To be continued…)

(Short story!)

How Gaius met Cordelia and Vaike

(Shopping district, Saturday)

Cordelia had just done some light shopping, it was a very hot day outside. It's sooooo hot. I feel like my make-up is gonna melt….. looking into her bag she took note of stuff that she had bought. Mm, I've bought this, and I've also bought that…

"Hey! Cordelia~!" she turned around.

A man with orange hair was waving at her with a dumb smile on his face, although it could more-so be his cheeky grin.

Cordelia had one thought running through her head. Who the fuck is that?

(Robin and Vaike)

"Huh they released a new song?" Robin asked in surprise

"Yup! Seems like it was only released last week" Vaike replied "I borrowed it from Stahl for a listen it's pretty good."

"Really" Robin smiled "Guess I gotta borrow it as well then.

"The vocalist's voice is awesome!" Vaike pumped his fists enthusiastically

(Somewhere far from both of them)

"LET ME LISTEN TO MY OWN CD YOU BASTARDS" (LMAO POOR STAHL)

(Back to Vaike and Robin)

Vaike noticed Cordelia in the crowd (Of course he did…) and pointed it out to Robin "Hey Red… isn't that Cordelia?" Robin turned around and looked slightly shocked "What's going on? Is she getting hit on?"

"Cordelia?" he finally noticed her and froze slightly when he saw Gaius.

"Hey Cordeli-" Vaike stopped when he noticed Robin surge forward.

"GAIUS WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" He smacked Gaius in the face.

"HUH?!" Gaius didn't realize who it was.

Both Cordelia and Vaike stood and stared in shock. "HUUUUUUH?! He just hit him without hesitating?!"

"Oh hi Bubbles~!" Gaius greeted "I just happened to see her is all"

"Shut up!" he hit him in the face again on the other side this time.

"That hurt!" Gaius gingerly touched his cheeks.

"Um… Are you okay?" Cordelia asked in slight worry.

"Mm… I think I'll be fine" he took this opportunity to rest a hand on Cordelia's shoulder "Man, I was just really happy when I saw Cordelia. So I just said hi to her without thinking too much about it~!"

Robin tentatively moved Cordelia away from Gaius before grabbing his face with one arm. "Go BACK!" he said "Spend the whole summer sitting at your computer whilst using the internet you sweet addict!"

"It hurtsssss! I'm gonna suffocate!" Gaius groaned

Cordelia just stared in silent shock in the background. This guy knows me… could it be the guy who sent that text message before…

"Red…" Vaike still had no idea what was going on, he had no context however at the very moment he felt really useless, even Robin would go to such lengths to protect Cordelia, yet I… (VAIKE ENTERED A DEPRESSED STATE)

"I'll send Cordelia home, Vaike will come along with us, too" Robin pointed away from Gaius.

"Huh? You don't want to stay near your friend longer?" Cordelia was a little interested about Robin before they had met.

"Mm… even though he isn't a bad guy," Robin smiled whilst ignoring Gaius's celebration "he still isn't someone you need to be overly concerned with" Gaius stopped celebrating and crashed onto the floor, somewhat heartbroken.

"Oh is that so?" Cordelia looked towards Gaius.

"What does that mean~"Gaius whined "We've been friends for so long~" He pouted "at least introduce me to Cordelia!"

"Gaius Murphy" Robin's voice went robotic whilst Gaius cried from the abuse "A second year in highschool. My ex-classmate. That's it"

"Wow," Cordelia chuckled at the two "It's almost as if only the main points are being said…"

"Red… you know this guy?" Vaike still in semi-shock managed to ask.

"Huh?" He waved his hand dismissively "No not at all"

A figurative arrow shot through Gaius and he cried again "That's the most brutal you've been in a while…" recovering extremely quickly he sped over to Vaike and bowed to him "Nice to meet you. I'm Robin's best friend Gaius." Adding quickly "I know all there is to know about this guy."

"OI!" Robin couldn't stop him because Gaius had some candy and entered his ignore Robin mode.

"In his third year of junior high, he was 158 cm tall, and weighed 44kg. his eyes were both 1.0 diopters. He once said he was interested in ***** from the next class.

"HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW THIS YOU BASTARD?" Robin yelled at him.

Vaike and Cordelia both thought 44kg… 158cm…. Vaike muttered "Maribelle" and both of them ended up chuckling (They realized that Robin used to be the same height and weight of Maribelle)

"Die! Depart this life! Entred apon an eternal Sabbath of rest! JUST DIE ALREADY!" Robin shock Gaius with all his might.

"Aren't you just telling me to die in so many different ways?" Gaius sighed with a smile on his face "your English has gotten better"

"This is the first time I've seen Robin act so violently…" Vaike mentioned.

"The way he talks with Gaius… it's like how you would talk with your middle school friends." Cordelia explained.

"Wait second year? Seventeen? How could you've been classmates?" Vaike questioned

"No I'm eighteen" Gaius pointed at himself.

"It's because this guy is an idiot" Robin smacked the back of his hand on Gaius's chest to emphasize "An idiot that doesn't look like one."

"That's too much" Gaius pouted "I'm from **** high after all." (No idea what name I should give it)

Cordelia and Vaike's opinion of Gaius went up drastically. It's a really good school and it's so hard to get in there! "Don't they have the best grades in the area?"

"Ah but I really wanted to go to Ylisee high." Gaius told Robin

"Why so?" Robin looked at him weirdly.

Gaius leaned forward and whispered "Because you look so happy there bubbles" He continued "Ah.. it must be because of her, right?"

Robin flushed, something that Cordelia wasn't used to, oh she so wanted to take a picture right then and there! Robin smacked Gaius in the face again.

The person who changed the dull person I was in junior high. It was definitely Gaius.

Robin looked down in slight embarrassment, GOD DAMMIT GAIUS.

Gaius started to feel the heat and gave a suggestion "honestly if you guys wanna keep talking let's go someplace cooler alright? Preferably someplace with sweets"

"Oh, then should we go to an ice cream shop?" Vaike suggested.

"Guys will have to treat" Cordelia said automatically. "C'mon Robin!"

And the person who helped me further, made me far happier. It was definitely Cordelia.

"Coming!"


I hope you guys enjoyed that chapter! Lot's of things going on, Gaius has arrived! Also Olivia as another side character (Slight more fleshed out then just Inigo's sister) however she wont make an appearance until a couple more chapters in. I think i can get out one or two more chapters before my break ends so keep your hopes up!

Leave me a review! It would help me a whole lot, reviews are what motivates me to write this story!

Again do tell me if I've made any mistakes. I'll be sure to change them asap
