"Can't we all just get along?" ~ Aiden Hunter

It had been several days since the trainee's first day. The instructors had given the newbies a week to get used to their surroundings and unpack their belongings, after that week was over their training began. Light had just begun to light the skies, turning it from a dark blue color to light pink. There were few that lay witness to the change in the sky, and among those few was Leon Savage. He quickly moved himself off the top bunk, landing on the floor without so much of sound. Leon looked over at his roommates before sighing. "How can you guys expect to become Soldiers if you won't wake up at the appropriate time," he muttered before taking it upon himself to wake up the other boys.

Davis woke without much of an issue, he simply flashed Savage a sleepy smile before sitting up. "You're not going to help me wake these two up?" Leon questioned to which Davis simply shrugged. "You've been doing this for about three days, I'm sure you can handle it." His response came in a low tone, still somewhat dazed from his slumber.

Once again Leon sighed before moving over to the chubbier kid that had taken the lower bunk, "Jack, get u-"A fist made contact with the center of Leon's abdomen. "Damn… It…" Savage doubled over, grabbing the bed frame in order to support himself. "Told you, wake me up, and that happens." This was the fourth time that it'd happen, and despite the result, Leon was stupid enough to try again. "But we can get a larger breakfast than anyone else due to the fact that we'd be there first and everyone knows, that the early bird gets the worm." At the thought of food the boy slowly made his way onto his feet before groaning. "Fine."

The three turned their gazes over to Hikari, "How should we go about waking him up?" Leon asked the other two, somewhat cautious due to previous experience. "Well, what happened the last time you shook him?" Davis asked curious to know about the previous few times. "He kicked me." Savage said as he crossed his arms, putting a fair amount of thought into their current 'dilemma'.

"Jack you wake 'em and you get half of my breakfast." Leon offered hoping that he'd take him up on his offer. "Fine." This certainly surprised Leon. "Hikari, you were right. Hurry up and get up so that we can split the extras." A head peeked out from underneath the blankets; a smirk overtook his usually blank face. "Told you he'd offer you that."

"No fair! You guys planned this!" Complained Savage. "Shut up, you made a deal and now you honor it." Jack's response was swift and merciless, he wanted food and Leon wasn't going to back out of his deal now. Davis quickly jumped off the top bunk landing beside Leon before shrugging once again. "You did say you'd give him half." And with that he headed out the door, with everyone else in tow. They walked down the hall, making their way to the cafeteria. The cafeteria was the only thing that connected the boy's dorm with the girl's dorm. One hallway led to the male section while the other led to the female's "Guys… Maybe we sho-"Leon pointed over in the direction of the female's dorm before being cut off by Davis. "No."

"But-"Leon pleaded.

"No" Once again Davis responded.

"Jack!" Savage quickly shifted his gaze over from Davis over to the boy with raccoon eyes, hope boiled within his light brown eyes.

"No." A monotone response. It appeared like he was siding with Davis on this one, though it was only because Jack was a bit stingy from being woken up.

"Hikari!" That's when the others knew how desperate he was, when he turned to the one boy that couldn't stand him.

"Shut up." Hikari hadn't even bothered to glance over at him; he just continued walking towards the food counter.

"Please?"

"NO!" Everyone yelled in unison annoyed with the constant begging. This sudden explosion caused them to get glances from the ladies that were serving the food. "Sorry." Davis apologized as they got their breakfast. They each held a brown tray, sliding them over to the woman behind the counter. The four got the same thing, a fair portion of scrambled eggs, and two thin pancakes stacked on top of each other. Two small containers had been placed on their desks, each holding a bit of syrup. Due to the fact that they were early, they managed to get a slightly bigger portion than anyone else would.

"Ah, the perks." Hummed Leon. "Why don't we sit over there?" Davis nodded over to the table closest to them, it was made of the same material as the floor, wood. Each table was of a rectangle shape, large enough to hold about eight people.

Jack sat with Davis beside him, across from him sat Hikari and next to him was Leon. Somewhat of an odd seating choice considering the fact that the two didn't really like each other. Each person set their trays before them and that's when Jack and Hikari went to work, they both looked over at Leon, within the blink of an eye Hikari had swiped one of the pancakes off of Leon's plate while Jack had gotten half of the scrambled eggs and a container.

"Hey wait!" Leon yelled in despair, he just sat there and watched as Jack tossed Hikari Leon's extra syrup container. "Thank you." He muttered before closing his eyes and bowing his head. "Itadakimasu." The others held confused expressions. "Why do you say that every time before you eat?" Davis asked.

"It's a phrase in one of the forgotten languages. It translates to I humbly receive." Hikari gave a short explanation hoping they would just drop the subject. "You know one of the forgotten languages?" questioned Jack, it seemed like none of them had picked up on the fact that Hikari was an oriental. "Yeah. My name comes from that language." He said all the while scarfing down his breakfast.

"That's stupid." It was a comment that immediately caused Hikari to quit eating. "I'm sorry Leon, did you say something?" The two of them exchanged glances, while the other two fell silent.

"I said that it's stupid. There's a reason why that language was forgotten. It's not needed therefore it's stupid, just like that little tradition of yours. There's no point in it." Leon voiced his opinion, something that caused Davis to shift uncomfortably.

"You have your opinion, I have mine." Hikari shrugged before scooping some of the scrambled egg up and into his mouth. Savage chuckled slightly irritating the boy next to him. "Something funny?" Davis and Jack continued to watch, silently eating their breakfast.

"Yeah." Hikari raised an eyebrow at this and decided to let Leon finish. "You're stupid, kid." Surprisingly enough that comment was enough to make himstand up. "Don't call me kid, this kid has a name." Hikari growled just before moving away from the table. "Oh look, walking away again, how 'manly'. Man you're pathetic; I have no clue why you bothered becoming a Soldier." Hikari's lips twitched upward for a second. "Pathetic? Have you taken a moment to take a look at yourself? God, you wouldn't even make good Titan fodder."

Leon quickly stood up before stomping his way towards Hikari. "Titan fodder? Don't confuse me with yourself; I'm going to become humanity's strongest soldier!" The two were glaring at each other before Hikari scoffed. "Please! You're pathetic! Your dream ain't worth shit; you're all bark and no bite. Now scurry off, you're beginning to annoy me." Over the process of the two's argument another group of four boys entered the cafeteria.

Laughing caused their quarrel to cease for a few moments. Both of them turned their heads in the direction of the noise, curious to know if it was any of the professors. The first person Kishi saw was a boy with long jet black hair that helped frame his face. At the current moment he was walking ahead of his group with a big goofy grin. A white long sleeved shirt lay atop of his torso each sleeve having been rolled up to the elbow. His black slacks were held up by his belt, slightly covered by his untucked shirt. "Food!" He yelled.

"Shut up Aiden. My god you uncivilized monkey, people are still sleeping." This voice came from next to Aiden, scolding him for his actions. "But Kalim, I'm hungry!" Aiden groaned somewhat irritating the teen next to him. 'Why does he have to be so annoying?' Kalim shook his head before looking at his immediate surroundings. The other group caught his eyes, two boys were currently standing, looking as if they were having a disagreement while the other two were still eating their breakfast ignoring whatever it was that was happening. Kalim then realized that he was being watched by Leon. "Hnn?"

Leon's eyes widened in surprise. 'Holy crap, he's huge.' Kalim towered over Aiden by a good foot or so. Currently he was dressed in a light blue short button-up, each button done up until the one that rested by the neck. His light brown eyes peeked out from underneath curly black hair. A light brown arm was raised in order to wave over at Leon. Hikari on the other hand had noticed the guy on the other side of Aiden. He was just a few inches shorter than Kalim, but seemed a little bit bulkier than his friend. This boy wore black rimmed glasses which rested on the bridge of his nose. He was looking around with a smile on his face. Unlike the others he wore a gray hoodie that had its sleeves rolled up to just above the forearm. Both his hands rested within his hoodie's pockets.

The two quickly snapped out of that distraction before returning to their argument, completely missing the boy that lay at the back of the Aiden's group. "I'm annoying you? You're the very definition of the word annoying!" Leon's comeback bored Hikari and he simply shrugged. "Good job!" Kishi said in a sarcastic tone. "What? Did it take all of your twelve brain cells to come up with that one?" Leon grabbed his roommate by the collar of his black t-shirt. "Don't make me to beat the shit out of you." His tone was low, it was his attempt at intimidation.

Hikari swatted Savages arm away his lips once again twitching upward for a second or so. "I'd love to see you try." Leon growled before taking a step back. "You asked for it!" The two quickly shifted into their fighting stance each one prepared to do whatever it was they needed to do in order to beat the other.

Leon advanced taking a step forward while cocking his arm backwards. Kishi ducked his head, just narrowly avoiding his opponents attack. Taking advantage of the fact that Savage was in mid-swing he rammed his left fist into Savage's face. This forced the boy to stumble backwards as he had been knocked off balance. Moving an arm up to touch his jaw Leon growled. "Enough Leon." Hikari tried to persuade his roommate from continuing all the while keeping his eyes trained on him. Leon brought his hands back up, retaking his stance while HIkari just watched, flicking his left wrist. 'Stings a bit.'

The boy with glasses held up a hand, a look of irritation crossed his face. "Now isn't the time to be fighting." He said nodding towards one of the hallways causing everyone to shift their attention over in the direction that he had motioned towards. They caught a glimpse of a green trench-coat, 'An instructor was watching us the whole time..?' Hikari momentarily weighed his options before choosing to return to his seat, he shot both Davis and Jack a cautious glance. "Thanks for the heads up." The others exchanged glances before hurrying off to get food, Leon just stood there wondering whether or not he should continue antagonizing the oriental. After having decided against it Leon sat back down, next to Hikari and frowned. "You guys suck." Davis shrugged, "Too bad we didn't get to see the rest of that fight. Our money was on you, Leon." Jack was too busy to place any input as he was currently stuffing his mouth with food.

An awkward silence held the air for several minutes, "Mind if we sit with you guys?" It was a familiar voice from before, high-pitched and somewhat annoying to the ears. Hikari tilted his head before realizing who the voice belonged to. "Do whatever you want." He muttered before returning to his food, Hunter, and his friends sat down, Kalim sat across from him, while he and the stranger with glasses sat beside Kishi. "So my name's Aiden Hunter, who are you guys?" Hunter questioned, somewhat curious to know more about Hikari's group. "Hmm? My name's Leon Savage, guess you can kinda say I lead these guys, the kid with the raccoon eyes is Jack Sibori, he's cool but somewhat annoying. The oriental is Davis Crowe and yeah. That's just about all you need to know." Savage flashed the other group a slight smile all the while keeping an eye on the boy that sat beside him.

"Looks like you missed one guy." Kalim motioned towards Hikari, a spoonful of eggs heading towards his mouth. "Eh?" Kishi had ignored Leon and Aiden altogether having found the two of them to be an annoyance. Leon's personality had Kishi wanting to bash his head in, while Aiden's voice was so unnaturally high-pitched it physically hurt his ears. Jack pushed aside his tray, not a speck of food lay on the plastic plates. "His name is Hikari Kishi, so you, what's your name?" Jack had fallen in the same boat as Hikari, he was willing to do whatever it was to keep Aiden from talking, even if that meant talking himself. Kalim took a second to swallow his food before responding, "I'm Kalim, and that's Nick." He pointed over at the kid that sat beside Aiden which replied with a wave.

"Ah well that's good." He yawned before exchanging a glance with Hikari, the two knew that they had to get out of the area quickly or else they would end up having to socialize with excusing themselves from the table they returned to their dorm room, having left both Davis and Leon behind to deal with the new group.

"After this week is up we're going to go into training. I might as well get as much sleep as I can." Jack sighed before laying back down in bed, his unpacked bag peeked out from underneath his bed, "Good morning Kishi." He said before draping his blanket up and over his head. "Likewise Jack. Likewise." Hikari slowly moved onto his bed, 'Today started out troublesome… Tch…'
