It's already chapter 20 and I have so many plot points to fit, this fanfic gonna be hella long (o´ω`o)ノ


Jian p.o.v.

Both I and my step-brother were sitting under a huge umbrella that was protecting our skin against the blazing sun, it looked like most people were ok with a tan, but something concerning our Asian heritage must have kicked in and we were hiding from the sun. I was laying down nobbing on a piece of a watermelon I sneaked from breakfast while Kuro used women as references for his new hentai work. I started philosophizing whatever it was a wise idea to mess and flirt with the girls from school just for seizing those pictures, but my thought got disturbed when I saw a flash of something familiar coming in my field of sight. I sat up and saw Laura standing there with an ice-cream panicking as if her life was in danger, was someone chasing after her?

"Why is she here?" I asked myself aloud catching Kuro's attention. He was as bewildered as I was, who would have thought these girls would make their arrival here of all places? Kuro sent me a smirk, worrying me. He stood up quickly, not wasting any time he grabbed the poor girl's hand and yanked her away, guiding her to our spot. The shock was written all over her face, which caused her to forget about her treat that was now melting and dripping onto her hands. She tried to lick it off but I whipped out a tissue and dripped some water on and wiped the melted ice-cream off from her delicate hands. I resolved to warn her.

"I wouldn't do something like this in front of Kuro." She titled her head in confusion but I heard her mumbling a word of gratitude.

"So why are you guys here? Are you also on vacation to flirt?" Did she perhaps confront someone?

"Don't slump us together with Lutz," Kuro warned her with a sharp tone, it wasn't like his intentions were any nobler. He refrained from flirting because he committed himself to release a new hentai series, which he could make a profit from the next coming anime convention.

"I see." Laura appeared to think intensely about a matter which Kuro detected with his sharp senses.

"Does it mean you already seen him?" she nodded not supplementing much else. Kuro chose to continue the conversation.

"So you are bummed out because he wasn't serious about you?" Within this short amount of time, she developed some feelings for that muscle pig?

"Nope, I just gave him a warning to not approach me with his unpure intentions." So who was she so desperately running away from?

"I guess Lutz wasn't the one chasing you around." she shook her head in denial.

"You're sharp, I came across Luci and he told his fangirls we're dating? I thought he only proclaimed such bullshit to chase them away, but no this idiot was following me around trying to act like my boyfriend. I managed to lose him after entering the bathroom and yeeting myself away thru the window." Only now I realized how exhausted she seemed.

"Couldn't you ask your buddies to keep him away from you?" was Kuro trying to dig up why she was walking around the beach by herself.

"I separated myself from them because I wanted some alone time, it just backfired on me," I observed her need to lean on something, without considering I offered her my shoulder.

"I see you are working hard to steal Laura away from Luciano." he must have thought I was working upon Allen's and Flavio's stupid plan, which I hardly cared for, I presently somehow felt more at peace around this girl. Laura puffed her cheeks and kicked Kuro for his remark.

"Luci doesn't own me, maybe it's different for your ass tho." We high-fived each other and she continued.

"I wouldn't be shocked if you already had Luciano's bitch tattooed on your body together with Lutz, as best friend set." I couldn't keep my posture and started laughing. Kuro sent a threatening glare, but she just playfully stuck out her tongue. At this moment another girl from our school joined our conversation.

"Oh, I found you, looks like you're having fun," Tabitha said as she invited herself over squishing herself between Kuro and Laura.

"I see you're ok." she soon after dived in for her friend's ice-cream stealing a bite, causing Kuro to scream in delight. He must have had a eureka moment thanks to this newcomer so he put his hands in hers while announcing.

"You two gave me inspiration, my two personal muses." Laura glanced at me innocently looking for an explanation.

"He is desperately searching for inspirations for his new manga." I couldn't tell them they triggered some sick fantasy of his for a hentai piece, how could I? These two girls' interests perked when overhearing the word manga, they aspired to read his work but he dodged a bullet by proclaiming he didn't want his work to be traced back to him. It was more sufficient for them to not discover his work, so I helped him around. By mistake we leaked the fact how we would attend a convention, suddenly the conversation became even more heated.

"When? Is it somewhere around here?" I explained how the convention was held in this state, the first weekend of November, girls got even more excited.

"Omg, you guys attending this convention as well? Just you two, or someone else will tag along?" Tabitha asked, was she about to request us for a favor?

"It's going to be me, Jian and Lutz. The others aren't interested in such things." Kuro admitted as he abandoned his sketchbook for the moment, Lutz was also a fan of Kuro's works, sometimes he was helping him out with the ideas. I was assisting Kuro with running his stall and selling his works to the fans.

"Can you guys cosplay with us, pretty please." Kuro seemed hesitant until Tabitha mentioned.

"We can pair you up with the other girls and take a Couple photoshoot. I will make you guys shine with my photography skills." Laura wasn't too shocked by her friend's bold request.

"I only ever did duo hero cosplays, it sounds interesting." I heard her muttering to herself. Tabitha nodded and shifted her focus on us both that already kind of snuggled each other.

"Laura, give me a pose." she was observing us thru out a square that she created with her fingers. Laura that somehow already devoured her dessert when I wasn't paying attention to it, grabbed my arm and did a peace sign.

"Perfect." Once Tabitha was satisfied she returned her focus to Kuro.

"There be more problems with you dear since you're so short, but don't worry. Cosplay photos are always lying we just going to make you stand on a stool." now Laura was laughing explaining how she saw Kuro as a little cute puppy.

"Are you insulting me now?" he asked reasonably pissed off. Laura stood up defending her viewpoints.

"No I just finally saw you in a different light, a defenseless puppy that is totally adorable." was her brain functioning properly? How could she describe Kuro as cute? Kuro didn't seem to believe it himself, and when the black-haired female noticed the distrusting aura around us she mentioned.

"Look at this youthful face that reminds me of a baby." Kuro was perplexed by what he heard.

"Such nice squishy cheeks." she actually caught him off guard and squished them softly, but no one was expecting the following compliment.

"Such beautiful red eyes that you want to gauge out and put in a jar." She smirked and looked right into his eyes creeping him out, Tabitha was the first that dared to say anything.

"That got dark quickly, try again or you may scare the poor guy away." Laura seemed to have realized her mistake.

"Sorry sorry, I must have changed stations there for a moment. Lemme try again." Kuro was ready to slap her hand away that still was holding onto his face.

"Look at those cute pink kissable lips." Tabitha was laughing her ass off, Laura must have seen how pissed off Kuro started to become so she grabbed her friend and yelled.

"She must see someone asap." and they both were gone.

"You made your muses run away." I pointed out.

"They already fulfilled their work." was his answer.


Undine p.o.v.

We got proven how our hallucinations from yesterday were indeed authentic, Luciano came running to our spot searching for Laura. Was his fate to end up as her devoted stalker or obsessive boyfriend? Did he live such a dull life he needed a strong girl to punch sense into his brain so he could remain inside reality? Maybe his problems would be gone if he just calmed down by smoking some weed with Jian? That Chinese dude probably owned even other stashes that could calm the crazy Italian's tits.

"Since it was supposed to be a vacation for relaxation I don't expect you to use this time for flirting, just don't make it too obvious you aren't interested in any of them." Although that was Aspen's message I somehow felt like messing with the guys even more. Cynthia left first after deciding she wanted to meet up with Flavio. After the group date, he started to show interest towards her, since Luciano confirmed they had no idea about us coming here it was a good opportunity to test the waters and see if their feelings were genuine. Knowing Flavio's nature she would probably find him flirting with the women at the beach. Tabitha also considered making a move, she must have fancied Vlad a little, even if it was just fleeting feelings of admiring his looks. I glanced at Fantina it was a great occasion to begin our competition around Lutz. She was swooned by his muscles, but I was only after his ass. My heart was still with that Lovino guy, but now we were miles apart and he never displayed an interest in me, so maybe it would be a valid game to forget about him and his tsundere ass. Shaking my head at those thoughts, we two agreed to find that blondie. After 10 minutes we found him smooching some random girl, he probably just met. I was out to ruin his fun.

"Sorry darling there can be only two players in this competition for this fine ass and it's me and my friend so shoo away." she didn't perceive my petite body as intimidating.

"You are not on our league." thankfully I was walking around with my trustworthy pocket knife and I exposed it to her, she gulped and excused herself. We smirked both down to Lutz that seemed troubled.

"Are you here to revenge Laura or something?" did he do something to her? Not like we could confirm it since we haven't seen her since morning.

"Nope, we came to find you at our own accord, since Luci revealed your arrival here." Lutz sighed realizing he wouldn't get his date back.

"What did he do?" Fantina responded to his wonder.

"He was running around searching for Laura like a madman acting like her boyfriend or something." Lutz was shocked at the mention ready to discuss this whole execution but I had enough.

"Rather than chatting about their fleeting romance let's talk about something else." I decided it was enough topics that concerned Luci.

"How about we play 20 questions?" So clever of Fantina she probably would use this knowledge to her advantage.

"Why don't you ask me whatever you guys want to know and I do the same, that game has limitation to yes or no question doesn't it?" Lutz did have a fair point.

"If you're up for it," I said admiring his courage since Fantina wasn't a person you wanted to trust your personal information with.

"So what I been wondering is how do you and Laura know those guys from that Skype call from the sleepover?" why were these guys so set on my friends from the previous state?

"We met at school, but if you want the whole story I can share it with you." Lutz nodded mentioning me to continue.

"Well, nothing too crazy happened, at first we just recognized their faces and stuff but one day I and Laura were going by bus to a mall, it wasn't too crowded but enough people that we were standing up the whole ride. Francis, Arthur, and Alfred were there as well. These idiots got into a fight and one of them knocked into Laura, that clutz lost her balance but before she fell Alfred caught her. Francis decided to apologize with a coffee which we agreed upon, it was an awful mistake since he was flirting with us the whole way there making us uncomfortable. Dunno how his brain was working but he became dedicated to date one of us and somewhere on the way he introduced us to both Gilbert and Antonio, from there on with their connections befriending all their friends weren't so difficult." I thought Lutz would be satisfied but he wanted to know who we were mostly associated with.

"Not sure why you need this info for, but I was mostly hanging with Antonio, Lovino, Matthew, Kiku, and Feliciano. As for Laura, it was Gilbert, Alfred, Matthew, Ludwig, and Arthur." Wait a moment why did Laura associate herself mostly with light-haired people? Did she know something I didn't? I wasn't afraid of sharing this info since it wasn't like they could threaten us with their lives.

"So tell me now, why do you guys despise them so much?" Lutz's brows furrowed in annoyance.

"Once we all lived in the same state, however since our group of friends wasn't normal by usual standards with our difficult backgrounds we tended to stick out with our defective behaviors in school. We were always labeled as the troublemakers, in no time those other guys became the teachers' pupils and especially Alfred who proclaimed himself as a hero was trying to bust out our every single wrongdoing. He was a snitch and would follow us around. We got chased off some gatherings thanks to him and his friends. Once we realized it was time for high school all of us decided to move out and create a school with our own rules." That sure made sense, I could see it happening especially since Alfred possessed a justice and hero obsession. But how came all the other guys jumped onto the so called bullying? Couldn't they just leave Luciano and his gang alone? If Luciano was seen as the leader of this group was Alfred the leader of theirs? Hmm, a topic I ought to ponder about.

"So you paid the school to overlook your bad behavior and get rid of the dress code?" Fantina asked Lutz just nodded his head.

"I must thank you guys for taking such actions, I heard rumors the dress code was 2 years back." this was the kind of information I never heard before.

"Please elaborate." Lutz decided to share his wisdom, him possessing the most knowledge on this topic.

"Girls couldn't even wear only t-shirts because the teachers feared exposed arms." looking at how serious he was, he was telling the truth.

"Sounds ridiculous." Lutz nodded.

"Recently I saw a girl wearing only a bra and a jacket on top of it and most guys didn't battle an eye during the lesson, so this American dress code is beyond my understanding." could that be true? Even so we agreed with him and moved to other questions next.


Next on another beach episode, this day is hella long it seems ʕ •̀ o •́ ʔ
