A/N: i was intending to upload thursday but it got delayed until today because I came down with a fever. This chapter had to be delayed and shortened, it was going to include Feldt but now it won't. Sorry about that guys. So without a further ado here is chapter 1 of Expressionless : 10 years later
Disclaimer: This story is a work of fan fiction, I do not own any of the Gundam 00 characters or places. This is purely from the my imagination.
August 20th A.D 2310 United States of America
a fifteen year old Setsuna F. Seiei woke up in his twin sized bed feeling nostalgic of the times when he was young. He remembered the times when he was Soran, just a carefree little boy who loved his life and had nothing to worry about. Now he just dreaded it. He was now officially adopted to Leon Dylandy, his father's best friend. Leon had a big business, which got bigger when Setsuna's fathers will was announced. Leon would own the Ibrahim Army Corporation until Soran Ibrahim was old enough to manage a business. Which was a problem because Soran Ibrahim no longer existed; Setsuna was his new name, according to the whole world. Leon made sure everyone forgot about Soran Ibrahim, and introduced Setsuna F. Seiei as his adopted son. It was apparently for Setsuna's own safety because even thought the Ibrahim Mansion fire was eventually confirmed a gas leak, Leon was not so sure. Changing his name also meant that Leon's company would probably own the Ibrahim Army Company forever. Not that Setsuna cared, he had no interest in business, in fact he had no interest in anything that had to do Leon (whom Setsuna believed brought bad luck!) The one good thing of being the adopted son of Leon is wealth, Leon was filthy rich with owning two of the major companies of the world, so rich that he bought two mansions for his family. One for his family, one for Setsuna. That's right, Setsuna had a whole entire freaking mansion to himself. Neil and Lyle(Leon's real sons) both wanted a mansion for themselves but Leon didn't want to live alone so he forced his sons to live with him. Lyle was always jealous about the fact that Setsuna had an mansion while he didn't. Leon tried to alleviate this jealousy by saying if Setsuna's father was still alive, he would've still let Setsuna have alone in a mansion too. The reason being that Setsuna's father was always busy with traveling all over the world, visiting many of the weapon factories that he owned. Setsuna's mother always accompanied him to those trips. Back then, Setsuna would have an personal caretaker to look after him. Setsuna always assumed that once he got older, his parents travel plans would include a lot less home trips.
Setsuna had no plans for the future, partly because he still longed for his mother and father. Ever since Leon told him his parents died, he had a suspicion that his parents were still alive. If he'd had one goal in his future, it would be to love the last.
"Whatever time to get dressed" Setsuna said while shaking away those thoughts. Setsuna quickly put on a black tee over his body. He was also wearing blue pajamas that had pictures of Gundam Exia on it. He went down to the first floor and went to grab some breakfast in the kitchen.
"Haro, turn on the 10 AM News." The voice engine recognized its master and turned on the 70-inch plasma screen TV. The TV was in the living room across from the kitchen. Right outside the kitchen there was counter that was attached to the kitchen There was an big opening between the outside of the counter and inside the kitchen which made it possible for Setsuna to serve his guests to food without leaving the kitchen when they are visiting. Setsuna's mansion had three kitchens but the Chefs and waitresses does not cook or clean out the mansion unless Setsuna asked them (usually when its gets too dirty or to much to clean). Setsuna liked to live more of a private life, isolated from most.
As Setsuna poured milk into his bowl of cheerios he watched the news.
"As far as we know the Republic of Krugis is no more, it has been replaced by Azadistan with First Princess Marina Ismail leading the country as the first princess of Azadistan." The News reporter reported as a T.V showed a black hair girl wearing blue dress
"Hopefully she treats my former country well" Setsuna replied to the T.V with no expression of anger or sadness. Setsuna did not felt any either because all that place did was remind him of his father which then reminded him of that day, so he kept away from this type of stuff. When he comes across it Setsuna would usually block out all emotions. Things about his father kept on appearing in front of his face over and over again to the point where he never showed any emotions what so ever.
"Haro what do you think is going to happen to Azadsitan in the future, since you always go predicting these things anyways." Setsuna asked
Ever since Setsuna got the mansion when he was 10 Haro was the one friend he had. He remembered the time when he first met Haro.
4 years ago…
Leon and a 10 year old Setsuna were sitting on the couch chatting about his new house.
"Setsuna" Leon said " You have met the maids and chef of the mansion, who will keep you company if you want them too, but I think that considering you have been antisocial ever since the incident that you might need someone else."
"Anybody besides the maids and chefs, oh and definitely not Neil and Lyle." Setsuna stated with disdain (usually the only emotion he would show.)
"Yeah I know you hate the chefs and maids" Leon said ignoring the last part of Setsuna's comment "so that why I want to introduce you to a new person, actually rather a thing."
"What thing" Setsuna said without emotion, but he was interested with his ears perked.
"Meet Haro" Leon said.
"Hello master Leon and master Setsuna" said a very stoic and robotic voice.
"Where is that voice coming from" Setsuna asked.
"Haro is a program installed into the mansion. He controls anything that is electronically connected to the mansion. So you won't have to manually do stuff like opening the tv or setting the A.C. He also has no emotions so you guys should get along very well"
"Cool" Setsuna replied stoically "hello Haro, nice to meet you"
"thank you master" HAro repied as the two got acquainted to each other, thus forming a friendship int the future.
Present Time
It was a brief but pleasant encounter
"Well master i can only guess on this one, I have searched through our database and found out she is young and inexperienced, but she might have hidden qualities that might make her a good leader" Haro said.
"Well, I think she is terrible and hopefully Krugis will come back, Viva la Revalucion" Setusuna replied.
"Master what you just said was French, not any language from the Middle East."
"Its not might fault the only thing that they teach me is either French or Spanish" Setsuna said with annoyance on his face "bring me something interesting like Chinese or even better Turkish."
"You really need a friend master" Haro stated.
"And why is that Haro?"
"So they can burden some of the the pain I'm receiving when you are complaining about things that are irrelevant and annoying even to a robot, you never complain to anyone else but me Master"
"That's because you are my only friend Haro, you know I suck at making friends"
"Master if what you say about making friends is true I would have gotten you tons of them by myself, you don't want to make any, so you shut yourself from others. Your not even friends with Lyle and Neil who take time out of there day come over here every single day"
"They are annoying though" Setsuna grumbled, knowng what Haro said was the truth, he did not feel the need to make friends.
"They are still your family and your brothers, as much as you might not appreciate it, they love you as much as they love each other. You guys are brothers, act like they are, not just some family acquaintance!" Haro replied in his robotic accented voice.
Setsuna sighed, the reason why he found his non-blood related brothers annoying is because Lyle (the younger one in Setsuna's grade) always tries to show Setsuna he is a better son of Leon by doing sports, helping out with the communities, and by being a player. Lyle's had 12 girlfriends since 7th grade just to show he is better than Setsuna. Meanwhile Neil( the older one who was four years older than Setsuna) always pities Setsuna because of the death of his parents. All it did was piss Setsuna off because it reminded him of that incident every time he saw Neil's stupid face of pity.
"I know that Haro, you are the only one who knows truly how I feel. So I am begging you don't let my brothers know that i find them annoying, as much as I hate them and find them annoying, they have been there for me." Setsuna said feeling a little guilty but not showing it.
"Master, you are only fourteen you should not have these thoughts of anger in your body, you should instead concentrate on what make you happy." Haro said
"You know that i have not played that thing in two years right" Setsuna said knowing the one thing that made him happy.
"Setsuna it is time you got over the past" Haro said "you are only a fourteen year old boy, the future is still bright, your dad would be proud if you turned around and found something you can do in the future."
"You don't mean my dad's business Haro" Setsuna replied not wanting to head that direction as he started to get a frustrated look
Haro seeing his master's look replied " I don't mean a job, I mean something you can look forward to, an hobby or maybe even just one little thing. Anything but doing nothing all day except for watching T.V or reading a book"
"When I took a robotic house in as a friend I never knew that you would be a friend/robot who worries a lot" Setsuna said with a hint of amusement in his eyes. He always appreciated Haro because Haro knew when to stop about his parents
"Well considering the only person you show emotion to is a robotic house, I believe that I have to worry about you no matter in what form you are in" The Mansion replied with voice of amusement and happiness. Haro loved it when his master/friend showed hints of amusement. It showed that he actually is having a little fun instead of being expressionless all day.
A Ding Dong interrupted Setsuna and Haro's conversation
"Who might that be" Setsuna asked, feeling a little annoyed by the interruption. It better not have been the Dylandy brothers because they were 2 hours early. They usually came at 12:30 and right now it was 10:30.
he walked towards the door and opened it revealing a bright future in stored.
A/N: Yeah you guys can probably guess who is the person at the door. I brought in some more character in Setsuna and Haro. So hopefully you enjoyed reading the chapter. I probably won't update until the thursday after this coming one. I promise it will be a long chapter. Please favorite and review, I gives me motivation to keep writing this. Thank you!
