I'm so sorry I have not been a good author and updated. I really am, that is not like me, but school is stressful T^T. Now I'm stuck counting down the days.
Well in any case camin- my sweetheart. Just a heads up so you all won't be confused.
Other than that, thank you for all the great reviews and I'm so glad all of you like it! Especially since it's such a weird concept.
Enjoy~
Leon watched as Emil walked passed him without another word. He sat back down feeling Lukas glare on him, but he paid no attention. As the bus pulled away Yao-who sat with a tall Russian-turned in his seat. "What was that aru?" he asked looking at his younger brother.
"I, like, don't know." Emil answered and kept his gaze on Emil as the bus pulled away. He felt his stomach tighten a bit and looked at his hand. He had no idea what that touch meant, but it was…familiar. He stared at his hand for so long he didn't realize that they had reached their drop off and felt Yao pull on his blazer to snap out of it and pulled him off the bus. Once off he shook him off and saw his other cousins looking at him strangely.
"What's going on with you Leon?" Yao asked confused at his unusual emotion filled behavior. He looked over his little brother and ever since he saw him walk in the hallway after first period he knew something was off. He was actually talking to someone, on the first day. He recalled it took Leon several days to speak a word to anyone in his own family when he first moved to the city. He had been studying the Icelandic boy that he kept glancing at during lunch as well and wondered who he was. "Why do you keep talking to that boy aru?" he asked.
Leon actually frowned which surprised everyone. "Nothing, what makes you say that?" he asked as he started to walk ahead of everyone else. He needed to get his mind off Emil and fast. The rest of the group looked amongst one another not knowing what to think.
As they reached the house they went to the kitchen and Leon seemed to have returned to his usual composure. Mai looked at him and frowned, "Something is bothering you." She said softly and touched his hand. The rest of the kitchen was very loud and she lowered her voice to where only they two can hear. "Are you having the dreams again?" she whispered.
He pulled away and shook his head, "I'm just tired." He whispered and left the kitchen only Mai noticing but soon was swept into the commotion of the kitchen.
He went to his shared room and sighed as he changed out of his uniform and grabbed his headphones. He turned up his music and laid down on his bed grabbing his stuffed panda that his brother gave him. He closed his eyes relaxing his body and his eyes slowly closed as he started to drift off to sleep.
"Oi Leon!" Leon quickly snapped out of his trance and looked at his older brother. "Finally aru, are you okay?" he asked him frowning.
Leon nodded looking back out the window as the dense forest passed by him and he sighed, what was he just thinking about? He shook his head, mustn't have been anything important. He sighed half listening to his older brother. "As I was saying aru, he has a younger brother and you are to make his acquaintance."
Leon looked at him, the idea annoying him. He didn't like to socialize, especially with people he barely met, and of course his brother knew this, and of course he would tell him to do what he hates most. "Why?" he asked monotonously.
"It would be best if you did aru." Was the simple reply that he received. Yao said nothing more as the carriage pulled up to large gates, behind it was a very large castle that looked much like a large church. It had two towers sticking out and was made completely of brick. The carriage pulled up, the pathway having tall stone walls one either side. Guards could be seen in a line every few yards. Leon sighed out and looked around noticing how warm it was. "They are having a festival tonight as well." He heard his brother said and Leon simply nodded.
As the carriage pulled up the door opened and Yao was the first one out followed by Leon who looked into the large lush court yard. He didn't pay much attention to the greetings exchanged between Yao and the servant and simply followed into the castle up the stone steps. A small white butterfly crossed his path hovering over the white bell shaped flowers. The flower slightly hunched over by the weight of the small creature before it fluttered of into the opened door of the castle and disappeared inside. He continued to follow his brother inside the castle and looked at all the extravagant tapestry that hung from the walls.
"Tonight is the celebration of the summer solstice." The servant spoke to Yao, "It's a great tradition that is celebrated each year with a grand festival." He explained as Leon looked around to see others put up decorations." They were led into a main hell where Leon set his eyes on a tall blond man in extravagant clothing, "Your highness the guests have arrived." He spoke to him and the man looked back. His blond was in his eyes slightly as he moved it away and he had a blank expression, his blue eyes showing no emotion either.
"It's nice to meet you." Yao said bowing, as was his custom.
"It's nice to meet you as well." He spoke in a monotonous tone and held out his hand as more of an official handshake. Yao took his hand and shook it as they began to speak. Leon sighed suddenly seeing the white butterfly inside the castle and fluttering toward the window with the light flooding in. He stared at if for some time before pulling his gaze away.
He looked at himself in the mirror as tried fixing the awkward clothing. It was traditional western clothing he had to wear, he took lessons when he was back at home on how to act and dress. He didn't s see the point in them but was glad he paid attention. "You look stunning." He could hear his brother say sarcastically. He rolled his eyes and looked walked away from the mirror.
"What's his name again?" Leon asked as he sat on the large guest bed and stared at his brother who wore similar clothing.
"Emil." He replied fixing the awkward collar. "Befriend him." He simply said and sighed looking at himself in the mirror. He pushed his hair back behind his ear and into a small red ribbon. "Let us go." He said as he walked toward the door. Leon nodded following.
They were led to the grand ball room where it was absolutely crowded with crowds of nobles laughing and enjoying themselves. Many eyes followed them, never seeing many Asians. Leon hated the attention and only let his eyes remain forward and focused. "Find him." He could hear his brother whisper.
"I don't know what he looks like." He replied looking around the grand ballroom.
"Ask around." Yao simply said.
Leon was unfocused trying to figure out who this person he had to befriend was. He suddenly bumped into someone, "Ah sorry." Came the soft voice. He looked up to see a taller man who was skinny and looked like he had no build to him. He had light violet eyes and blond hair, his smile was soft and a soft rosy tint was on his cheeks. "I wasn't paying attention," he chuckled a bit and looked at him, "Oh you must be Lukas guest?" he said another smile gracing his face. "It's nice to meet you I'm Tino."
Leon stared at the hand extended to him and took it, he was surprised by the strength of his grip. "Ah, I'm Leon." He spoke to him.
Toni let go of his hand as he felt another on his shoulder. "Oh! Berwald this is Leon, Leon this is Berwald."
Leon looked up to see the blond, blue-eyed swede glaring at him. He kept a blank expression but felt uneasy underneath his gaze. He cleared his throat a bit, "Have you seen a person name Emil?" he asked quietly.
"Emil?" Tino repeated quietly, "Ah, he was by the balcony with some of his friends." He said quietly pointing to a general direction. Leon nodded and headed that way ignoring the questioning stares he got from the other two.
He made his way through the crowd of people all getting ready for a traditional dance and spotted three boys talking and looking in the direction of the king. He gave a silent sigh as he walked toward the boys, he was a bit nervous he had to admit. He wasn't exactly the best at making conversation.
He gave the first boy a tap on the shoulder who turned around. He had snow-white skin and large purple eyes that were accompanied by beautiful thick eyelashes. His lips were a soft pink, "Emil?" Leon asked him before he choked on his own words by the sight of his beauty.
"You are?" he asked raising a perfectly shaped eyebrow.
"Leon," he smirked a bit seeing him stare at his features as well, "I was sent here to find you."
Leon woke up on as he felt someone shaking him. "Leon! Leon!" he opened his eyes slightly to see Yao staring down at him. "Leon what are you thinking aru?" he could hear him ask. He stared at him and then sat up. He was on the floor holding his stuffed panda tightly, he looked over at the clock, it was still early in the morning, very early. He sighed out, "You scared me falling off your bed aru!" he could hear his brother scold. He simply ignored him and got back up in his own bed feeling beads of cold sweat linger on his body. He didn't understand, or more like everything made so much sense it was confusing. It was always a ball of chaos when it came to his dreams and this time it was just one long dream. He touched his forehead and wiped the sweat off as he looked up at the window. The moonlight flooded his room and all of a sudden he saw a small white butterfly become illuminated by the moonlight. He held his breath as his lips parted a bit and then as quickly as it came it left. He shook his head and tried to go back to bed, but it was hopeless.
Lukas knocked on Emil's door and opened it slightly, "Come on get up." He was only answered by a low grunt, much more than he usually was. He left to go get ready himself and sighed thinking back to yesterday. He knew Yao's little brother kept staring at him, he wanted to why. He looked into the mirror as he fixed his hair and put the clip in his hair to keep his bangs out of the way. He sighed out again and fixed his uniform as he went to the kitchen to go get breakfast ready.
Emil struggled to get up as he pulled back the covers and sat up sighing. He stared at the floor, he couldn't sleep the rest of the night and rubbed his eyes and yawned. He got up getting ready, the scene of the dream played over and over again. He knew the boys, but he couldn't remember their names anymore. He knew who they were, but not it just seemed hopeless to care. He pulled on his uniform shirt and buttoned it up, the night sky outside lighting up as the sun began to wake the quiet city. He brushed out his hair and headed for the door.
His hand paused as it reached for the doorknob, what was he hoping for? What was he even thinking? He studied his hand as if it wasn't his own, it felt…lost? If that made any sense, he wasn't too sure himself. He knew he had to talk to Leon, weather it was for the best or not. His stomach turned and he turned the doorknob to go downstairs for breakfast.
On the school bus Leon sat quietly looking outside the window. He saw the suburban houses pass endlessly and he caught own sight of himself. He had dark bags underneath his eyes and he looked almost lifeless. Yao had told him something about how he looked and he didn't listen, as usual. He only yawned again and felt the bus stop.
Leon sat quietly staring out the window, huge dark bags underneath his dark honey brown eyes. He felt someone sit next to him as he looked at the reflection of the window to see Emil. He kept a steady gaze on him as he put in his puffin earphones. He turned his head toward hi and noticed the large dark bags against his pale skin. He figured he mustn't have had much sleep either. Emil glanced over at him their eyes locking for a moment.
But that moment, didn't last just a moment. Time seemed to freeze as the sound around them seem to dull down to nothing. The world around them stopped, time paused, and they held their breath.
Just as quickly as the moment came, it passed and the noise filled the silence, Emil was the first to break the stare and looked at his lap his face flushed.
The dream passed through both of their minds like a vivid memory.
Leon looked back at his phone as he quickly began to type something. Emil stared blankly at his lap, his face the same. It was still and emotionless but on the inside he felt like he was gushing with embarrassment, he bit the inside of his cheek timidly. He suddenly saw the phone being placed on his lap and it took him a moment to realize the words on it.
"You had the same dream as me, didn't you?"
Emil clenched his jaw slightly and noticeably swallowed the lump in his throat. He felt his palms get sweaty, no way had they had the same dream. It just wasn't possible. It was absurd. He hesitantly raised his head to look at him, he looked into his honey brown eyes that were filled with curiosity, hope, and excitement. His lips parted but then pressed quickly together and his brow creased. His hand reached up taking out one of his earphones and he swallowed again, "W…what was your dream about?" he asked quietly.
Leon was glad he actually decided to cooperate, "A ball," he replied simply.
Emil nodded slowly, "Yeah…me too…" he said and his hands trembled barely noticeable.
Leon continued to stare over his slim body, he knew his body, and he knew everything about it. He quickly broke his gaze and nodded, "Yes, we had the same dream."
Emil felt his body invisibly shudder, "W…who are you…?" he whispered. He knew the answer the goose bumps kept building on his arms and he tried not to look at him. He knew what was eventually going to happen in the dreams, he had the dreams, and he had felt the dreams. He swallowed a bit and his fingers began to fidget.
Leon didn't say anything for some time as he though on the question. He knew who he was, he knew what he was doing, kind of. He wanted to say he didn't know, it probably make things easier, but he simply couldn't bring himself to lie to him. After all, he had fallen in love with this boy night after night, dream after dream, he fell harder and harder.
They sat there as an awkward silence settled between them. Neither of them knew what to say or do next. They both avoided eye contact, and neither knowing one was in love with the other.
Yao looked back at both boys who sat in complete silence compared to the rest of the bus. He frowned seeing the blank expressions on their faces and looked up slightly to see Lukas glaring at him. He sighed and turned around scooting closer into the Russian arm that rested on his shoulder. He knew well why Lukas hated him, although to him Lukas was just over reacting.
Back during freshman year Yao was partnered up with Mathias for a biology project. Of course Yao who saw the Dane do nothing but sleep in class was completely annoyed at the idea of having to work with him, because he knew he would end up doing all the work.
He sighed out, at the time, he and a certain Russian were going through a realization phase. The teacher had finally let them work with their partners and Yao turned toward the Dane who was doodling in his notebook. "So how do you want to do this aru?" he asked him but wasn't expecting any intelligent answer. His elbow rest on the desk as he rested his chin in his hand and twirled his pencil in the other.
"We can go to my house after school and do some research." Mathias said with a wide grin looking up at him. "I already have a poster board and some colored paper there so we can work for a few hours, if you don't mind."
Yao was actually surprised and sat up straight, "Ah…sure…" he said and opened his book to work on some problems they had to answer for their projects. Mathias smiled at him as he turned to a new page and also worked on the problems. "Ah, we take the same bus don't we aru?" he asked suddenly remembering. Mathias nodded. Yao sighed, maybe it wasn't going to be so bad.
During lunch Yao stared at him, his lips slightly parted and his eyes wide. Ivan had a small nervous smile, unusual for the platinum blonde Russian who stood his back pressed against the stone wall of the large school. His light violet eyes searched Yao's shocked amber eyes but then looked at the dying grass as his foot rubbed against the dirt lightly. A soft breeze blew bringing Yao back to his senses and his eyelids lowered a bit and his lips pressed together curving into gentle smile. His amber eyes turning softer as he walked closer to him and Ivan raised his head cautiously and felt Yao's hand press against his flushed cheek. "I like you too aru…" he said quietly. Suddenly he was rudely ran into causing him to stumble forward and into the broad chest of the Russian.
Yao frowned, "What was that for aru?" he said moving away from Ivan who was now looking, just as confused, at Lukas who kept his glare.
"You are trying to steal my fucking boyfriend." He said in a low voice, his arms crossed.
"W-WHAT?!" Yao shouted looking at him his eyebrows knitted and his mouth slightly gaped open at the outrageous statement. "WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT ARU?!" He shouted now his face turning red for a completely different reason.
"Because you're a fucking whore that's why!" Lukas shouted as he walked closer to him his arms going to his side in balls of fists.
Now they were starting to attract attention as kids started to gather seeing as there was going to be a potential fight. "Who the hell are you calling a whore aru!" he said as his hands did the same and he was ready to beat the shit out of the Norwegian, whom he didn't even know that well.
"You obviously!" he shouted back as he pushed him and Yao clenched his jaw. "O-oi!" came the loud Dutch accented voice. Mathias suddenly gripped Lukas waist pulling him back.
"G-GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!" He shouted squirming to get out of his arms that held him in place. He tried hitting him and growled lowly at him.
Yao felt himself hit Ivan's chest, but he didn't dare move. He knew how to fight, he knew how to paralyze a person in a matter of seconds, although he didn't want to use any of it, he would if it came down to it. He felt Ivan wrap his arms around him and began to calm down a bit as Lukas kept struggling in Mathias arms and trying to attack him. "What the hell is he talking about aru?" he asked Mathias calmly as he could his eyebrow twitching.
Mathias opened his mouth to say something, "Don't fucking talk to him you bitch!" Lukas growled and Mathias sighed. "Just stay the fuck away from him, got it?!"
"Then how are we supposed to work on our project?" Yao said sighing and rolled his eyes at his ignorance.
"Find another fucking partner!" he shouted still very angry. He was extremely possessive, and he wasn't the type to share. At all.
Yao pulled away from Ivan and gripped his hand putting his other on his waist, "Listen. I have a boyfriend, why would I want yours?" he said annoyed.
Lukas kept glaring at him annoyed before his facial expression turned back to his normal emotionless one. "Stay away." He said bitterly and took Mathias hand as he walked away with him. Yao sighed.
"Yao-Yao?" he could hear the husky Russian voice in his ear. His face heated up and he giggled a bit looking up at Ivan. "Are you okay Yao-Yao?" he said in his childlike voice and Yao only nodded in response. He leaned into him taking in his scent.
He suddenly frowned.
"Ivan…" he started as he pushed his nose deeper into his coat, the scent got stronger.
"Hm?" came the soft hummed response.
"Have you been drinking again?" Yao asked and looked up at him with his large amber eyes, his eyebrow raised and his lips tightly pressed together in a deeper frown.
Ivan looked at him with his simple innocent smile and he ran his hand through his raven black, silky hair. He never gave a response.
Yao pulled away, "I thought we talked about this…" he said quietly his arms crossed, his eyebrows knitted together, and a clear pout on his face.
"Yao, it was only one…no big deal." He said in his sing-song voice. He could see Yao clearly displeased by the answer as the bus stopped and he grabbed his things abruptly standing up. Ivan sighed out and followed as Yao didn't wait for him, as usual when he was mad with him.
They walked off the large yellow school bus onto school grounds that was already flooded with kids. The large Gothic style school's shadow loomed over them as birds quickly rose to the sky taking off. "You have gym right?" Leon asked they got off the bus. Emil nodded, "Then I'll walk you to class." He said quietly
"You don't have to." Emil said feeling his face heat up again as he looked at the emotionless face that looked at him then away. Leon didn't respond as they walked toward the large gym nonetheless. They walked in silence as neither still didn't know what to do next. They walked down the cement pathway toward the large gym. The flowers of summer now breathing their last breathes. Leon looked at the warm colored flowers seeing the white butterfly lean onto the small white bell shaped flowers. The flower drooping down somewhat. A large group of kids blocked his vision of the butterfly and as they passed the butterfly was no longer there. He looked away at the loud laughter and chatter of students got louder the nearer they got to the gym.
Suddenly Emil felt arms go around him, a broad chest pressing against his back. He looked up blankly to see a tall, dark skinned man with brown smiling eyes. "Hello camin." Came the deep Turkish voice. "How was your summer?"
Emil stared at Sadiq for a moment and sighed, "You know Lukas will get mad if he sees you near me." Sadiq rolled his eyes and squeezed Emil a bit, making him very uncomfortable. It just didn't feel right to him, it never did being held by someone else. He felt, awkward for sure, but something more just didn't feel right to him.
"Do you have gym now camin?" he asked him as his eyes wondered over toward Leon, whom had been staring at him the entire time.
"Mm." Emil answered as he looked down at the arms around him.
"You must be a friend of camin." he said as he moved his muscular arms away from Emil. His white button up shirt clearly defining his built upper body, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and his top button open exposing his chest a bit. He gave him a wide grin as he held out his hand to Leon. Leon looked at it blankly for a moment before realizing he wanted to shake his hand. He took his hand and almost instantly Sadiq closed his hand around him squeezing it tightly. Leon didn't wince at the sudden force put on his hand. "It's nice to meet you." He said his eyes looking down at him.
He slipped his hand out of the strong grasp and then looked at Emil. "I'll see you later." He said and then turned walking in the opposite direction to his class.
Emil simply nodded and watched as he walked down the cement path toward the large main building that had the schools name at the top. His eyes lingered on the Asian boy that got farther and farther away eventually disappearing into the crowd of people and then into the building. He turned tore his gaze away and briskly walked toward the gym.
