"Is he okay…?" Chevel frowned as he looked at Rood curiously. That was when the other students began to remember that Rood was a 'sickly child' regardless of the fact that such status was not truly in the blondie profile. Lidusis began to quickly walk to the teacher, his breath starting to quicken as Rood starts to sway.
"Hey roomie, what's with you?" Shic frowned as he dropped the ball and started to walk towards the swaying boy. Rood, on the other hand, kept looking at the swaying ground, his sight getting blurrier by the moment. Luckily, by the time his legs gave out from under him, Shic had gotten close enough to catch him. Some of the girls began to squeal at the scene of the taller boy holding the sick Idun.
"Dammit, if you didn't feel well you should have told someone." The auburn-haired boy looked down at the Rood, mentally noting the heat that the boy resonated.
"I-I didn't feel that bad the rest of the day…" The smaller boy's voice shook as he spoke striking a buried cord of feeling that Shicmuon didn't realize he still had. The taller boy shook his head as he swiftly walked to the gym doors. The teacher quickly walked in front of him.
"Where are you going? You can't just leave without my permission!" She gave a huff and crossed her arms, oblivious of the annoyance from all of the other students as well as the slowly forming hatred.
"Well clearly, Mrs. Pervert teacher," the nickname Shicmuon gave the teacher elicited a look of rage from the teacher and laughter from the students, "He's clearly sick, his body is practically the sun with how hot it is, and I'm pretty sure he's about to pass out. Now if you don't get the fuck out of my way, I might be stuck with some annoying roomie while he is lying sick in some fucking hospital and I swear to god I will end you."
Chevel frowned slightly and scratched his head. 'Isn't that a bit overdramatic?' On the other hand, the teacher got out of his way quickly, the scowl on her face is quite clear.
"I'll make sure that you're not going to walk away scott-free from disrupting my class and making a fool out of me!" She said with a huff, much to the annoyance of the other students.
"What are you going to do? Tell my dad? You think I give a flying fuck?" His words echoed as he walked out of the room in long strides as a certain blue-haired boy followed behind. Despite the normally loud, and boisterous boy he was, Dio walked behind secretly, his feet making no sound on the granite hallway flooring.
"Why are you following me." The auburn-haired boy spoke with a demand despite his words being a question. Dio's eyes widened at being caught, an occurrence rare on its own. The taller boy kept a quick pace to the nurse's office.
"B-because Rood's my friend! I just want to make sure he's okay!" Dio caught up with the other boy, looking at him from next to him. Shic rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Okay stalker."
"I'm not a stalker!"
"You are."
"No, I'm not!" The blue-haired boy started to huff, his cheeks becoming a rosy red. The taller boy smirked as he kept walking, not bothering to even give the other boy a glance. Dio crossed his arms in a pout, still huffing.
Meanwhile, back in the gym, there were whispers and glances towards a gray-haired boy as well as murmurings of the 'monsters curse'. This was started by none other that Dirod, who shook his head and spoke to the crowd.
"It must be the monster's curse, it is what he gains from being friends with the monster." His face showed pity, however, his younger brother could see the malice in his gaze and looked at the ground. Lidusis began to wonder if he really was cursed when there was a loud crack and others gasped as Dirod fell to the ground with Chevel standing above him, teeth bared.
"Enough with this bullshit, Lidusis is not a monster and there's no such thing as a damn curse and ho-" Chevel was quickly cut off by the teacher who stepped in between the two.
"Detention! You can't just go around punching people and swearing!" She crossed her arms and scowled when the golden-haired boy turned his glare towards her and was about to retort when his sister spoke up.
"How come Chevel is getting punished yet that jerk," Ibriel gestured to Dirod on the floor who she noticed was covering his nose and blood dripped from it, "After he referred to a student, his own brother no less as a monster and a cursed one at that!" The teacher opened her mouth before quickly shutting it before turning to Dirod.
"Here, let's get you to the nurse's office so you can take care of your nose." Dirod got up with a glare towards Chevel and stomped away. Lidusis meanwhile was struggling with two voices in his head. Was he truly a cursed monster? Or was he nothing of the sort? He was unable to ponder it any longer when the golden siblings quickly started to worry about the quiet boy.
Shicmuon sat quietly by Rood who slept in the nurse's office. Dio sat directly in front of the tall boy, a scowl on his face and crossed arms. The nurse stood behind Dio and gave a smile.
"It's nice to see that you two are worried about your friend, but he isn't going to wake up for quite a bit. You should probably go back to class" The blue-haired boy began to open his mouth when Shicmuon interrupted, his face as blank as ever.
"I don't care about him. I don't feel like going to class." The nurse's eyes widen and Dio stomped his foot angrily, his cheeks turning red as he puffed them out in a pout.
"Go away! Your terrible personality is probably giving Rood nightmares, you jerk!"
"No. I carried him. You have the terrible personality, following behind uselessly."
"Wh- I do not! I don't see why you bothered! I could have carried him just fine! Rood doesn't even like you! He won't want to see a jerk when he wakes up!" Dio stomped his foot again when Shic narrowed his eyes and swiftly kicked the leg of the chair making both the chair and its occupant fall to the ground.
The boys were then kicked out by the nurse. With one last glare towards each other, Shicmuon walked to the library as the bell rang and Dio sat down on the floor right outside the room his friend slept, now peacefully.
Lidusis sat at an empty desk in the library, with papers strewn about. Information about the newest technology and latest magical findings were littered about as he wrote on several pieces of papers, every once in awhile crumbling up the paper and throwing in the trash a little bit away with surprising accuracy.
It was at that moment, as Lidusis began to feel frustrated, he threw a little too hard and it sailed over the trash can and landed at the feet of an older boy. The boy picked up the paper and uncrumpled it. With the gray-hair boy oblivious to the act, Shic began to read.
It began with an idea. As Shicmuon read on, he followed the process that the boy was attempting to create in his head. He then realized the flaw in the project and walked behind the boy. He placed the paper on the table and pointed to the mistake.
"Hey idiot, magic can't stabilize without an active mark to hold it together."
Lidusis looked up at him, startled before looking back down at the paper. His eyes widened when he realized the mistake before looking back up at the older boy.
"But then would that mean that each magic crystal found in nature have their own mark?" The shy boy spoke softly, hiding behind his hair as Shicmuon seemed to ponder the question.
"Yes, unless there is another thing that can possibly replace the mark that humans aren't yet aware of." He pulled out the seat next to Lidusis, his curiosity now intrigued. "What exactly are you trying to do anyway?"
"I'm trying to see if I can find a way to create a power source from magic so that it can replace certain technologies like in hospitals or.. Stuff." Lidusis gave a soft blush as Shicmuon raised an eyebrow.
"But why. Is it for a class or some shit?" He watched the younger boy curiously as the boy responded flusteredly and shook his head, his bangs hiding his face even more. Shicmuon had a half a mind to grab scissors and cut the damn bangs just so he could actually look the gray-haired boy in the face. "Then why are you doing it."
"Um, I want, I uh…" He restarted his sentence multiple times before the boy next to him sighed in frustration.
"Whatever. Doesn't matter." The auburn-haired boy picked up several pieces of paper to see what the younger boy had before dropping back on the table carelessly. Lidusis picked up his notes and hesitated before looking back at the Hereis.
"Will you help me?"
"No." Shicmuon's face was blank and turned around to walk away before stopping. The image of the empty room popped into his head before he turned back to the dismayed boy, his mind changed.
"Fine but only because I have nothing better to do." Lidusis beamed at Shic's words, his bangs no longer covering his eyes. The older boy noticed the bangs in annoyance. 'Now I really want to cut those bangs.'
It sky was pitch black and the moon shone in the sky when Rood woke up to an angry voice. His head was clear, the sudden fever was nowhere to be seen. He glanced at the door and stood up carefully, his hand shook as it held him up. The blonde-haired boy walked the door and opened it only to see Dio and a strange man with silvery-blue hair and surprising yellow eyes. Dio turned around in surprise before giving another glare to the strange man.
"Go away, you traitor." Dio continued to glare while Rood, with his eyes drooping from exhaustion, watched silently. The man ignored the childish boy and looked at Rood and gave a smile.
"My name is Lispen. I will be one of the professors here, and one of your teachers." The so-called traitor, Lispen, spoke politely, much to Roods confusion before swiftly turning around and leaving.
"Dio, who was that?" Rood looked at his friend who scowled in the direction of the man who just left.
"A stupid traitor that shouldn't be here." Dio huffed and crossed his arms while Rood rolls his eyes.
"Okay but why." Rood's head started to pound a little as he spoke. The blue-haired boy looked at his friend when he notices that his friend seems to be swaying.
"Rood, are you okay?! You need to go back to sleep! Don't worry I'll protect you!"
"If you're the one protecting me then I'll need to be extra worried."
"Hey!"
