Disclaimer in the first chapter.
Enjoy!
Ed looks at himself in the mirror with uncertainty. He tugs on the collar a couple of times to stretch it out. With a defeated sigh, he drops hand to the side. He hums, deep in thought about the uniform situation. 'Do I really have to wear this dumb tie?' he thought to himself while he examines the crooked purple and white stripped tie. During the weekend, Fuzuru made sure he and Al had everything they needed for school on Monday. The first things he ordered was the uniforms.
Made in the best silk available, it made the money spent worthwhile. Ed wore a purple jacket with a white long sleeved buttoned shirt underneath it. With the suit were black dress jeans and matching shoes that are fully new and clean. Ed didn't like the color of the suit. Purple never suited him since the colors he always wore like white, red or black. Thank goodness he was able to wear his boots with the uniform though. He just hoped the school doesn't have a strict dress code. The last thing he wanted was to get in trouble with the administrators on his first day.
He stares at his reflection with raised eyebrows when he hears a knock. Ed turns around and stares at the door, wondering who was there. 'Probably Al.' he thought to himself. "Come in!" he shouts. The door opens and instantly a scowl was on his face. "Its you." he says, deadpanned.
Fuzuru warmly smiles. "Good morning Edward." he says. Fuzuru closes the door behind him and takes a couple of steps towards Ed. "How did you sleep?"
Ed turns his back on him and walks to his bed. He starts putting his books inside his backpack. "I slept okay." he tells him simply.
Fuzuru nods. "That's good."
"Was there anything else you wanted to ask me?" Ed looks at him.
"Er, no." He admits. "I actually wanted to discuss some things to you." Fuzuru took some steps towards Ed. Ed crosses his arms to his chest, interested in what he had to say. "Alright. Lets hear it."
"Right." Fuzuru claps his hands together. "I just wanted to let you know that if there is anything you want to discuss with me or you need any questions about the school, come to me or Tamaki. We'll do our best to help you and your brother. Ouran is a big school so if your lost just have Tamaki show you around."
Ed nods a little. "Thanks I'll keep that in mind." he mutters. Ed was really annoyed of Fuzuru's presence in his room but he had to deal with it. Especially when it came to talking to him. He made a promise to Al he would start acting nice to Fuzuru and Tamaki and whenever Ed made a promise to Al, well...he Isn't going back on his word and betray his little brother.
"Is Al and fancy pants ready?" Ed asks Fuzuru.
Fuzuru stares at him wondering who he was referring Fancy pants to until it hit him a second later when he referred to Tamaki. "Oh yes. They're waiting for us downstairs." Fuzuru tells him. Ed hums and doesn't after that. He turns back to the mirror and tries to fix his tie. "I'll be down in a second. I need to fix this damn tie first."
Fuzuru smiles in amusement as he watched Ed try to fix his tie. Ed noticed his smile through the mirror and glares at him with a questionable look. "Whats so funny?" he asked him.
Fuzuru walked to his son and helps him with the tie. "Its rough doing it yourself the first couple times but eventually you'll get the hang of it." When he was done, he gestures Ed to turn to the mirror. Ed turns around and looks down at the tie. It was perfectly tied around his neck.
"Hasn't Trisha taught you how to tie?" Fuzuru asked. Ed shakes his head. "No. Al and I didn't have suits like these before so I never learned." He tells him.
"Well, if you ever need help, you can always come to me." Fuzuru advices him. Ed looked at him from the mirror. It was odd but in a split second, Ed had a sudden flashback to when he was younger. He looked up and behind him was his father looking down at him with a smile like the one right now. Ed shock his head and walks away from the mirror. He grabs his satchel from his bed and walked out of the door, mumbling a small 'thanks' to Fuzuru afterwards.
The drive to Ouran Middle School took them about half an hour since the school was inside the city. During that time, Ed wondered about the new school he will be attending. According to Tamaki, its a high school where rich families sent their kids to get the best education that is available. And it was understandable why; parents want their children to be well educated in many subjects for when they become of age and take charge of the family business.
The driver parked in front of the school and outside the window, Ed could see a good view of the school. As expected, it was huge - way bigger than that of the house and it was fancy - but that is to be expected when your attending an all private school with a bunch of kids coming from rich families.
The driver opened the door for Al to walk out. Ed turned his gaze to Al and noticed that Al looked pretty nervous. "Al, don't keep the driver hanging. Go on." Ed urged him.
"Sorry Ed. I'm just nervous that's all. We're going to be in new schools and my stomach feels funny..." Al tells him.
"You have nothing to worry about." They look at Tamaki who was sitting by the other window where Al sat. Tamaki looked at Al and tells him in a comforting tone, "Your going to be fine and your going to make a lot of friends. And if anyone gives you a problem, Ed and I will take care of it." Tamaki points his thumb at himself and Al couldn't help but smirk. These two really are dorks.
"Thanks Tamaki and thank you Brother." he exited out the car and with a final wave, Alphonse walked up to the stairs, although very hesitantly. When the driver closed the door, El watched as Al walked up the stairs to the doors until he was no longer in his sight. El slumped back on his seat and sighed out. This is going to be the first time he and Al would be separated since their mother died. They've been together since that day and El was a bit hesitant to leave Al by himself. Not that Al couldn't take care of himself - he can - its just that how is Al able to communicate with the other students if he couldn't speak Japanese? I mean sure they learned the basics in the short time they had but what happens if he misses up? What if he gets lost? What if the other kids tease him? God just worrying about Al made Ed wonder if leaving his brother alone was a good idea.
Tamaki noticed the worry on Ed's face and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Ed. "You don't have to worry." Ed looked at Tamaki. "Alphonse is going to be fine. He's a smart kid." Ed sighed.
"Yeah he is."
