Yang's P.O.V.
Location: private high end apartment, Tokonosu, Japan.
Time: 8:00pm June 17th 2015, 8 months before Z day.
It's been almost 10 years since we fell into this world and things have been going quite smoothly. for the last few years Mercury and I have bonded brilliantly some even say we appear to be lovers, when the day comes maybe. Mr Yatushama wasn't wrong about us leaving in our early teens at the age of 14, however a few months prior to that there was a terrible road accident. A speeding semi ran a red light and clipped what looked like a military vehicle and it's driver lost control as it skidded towards us, I got out of the way in time but Mercury wasn't as lucky as his legs were crushed under the wheels before it came to a dead stop on a bollard. I decided to skip school a few day later to visit and see how he was going, to my surprise he was already up and carefully walking about until a flick from one of the robes ends revealed metal plating, after some small talk about how we've been for the past few days he decided to both show and tell me that thanks to the severity of his injuries the surgeons chose to remove both legs. The nurse arrived shortly after and told us both the events that transpired afterward apparently the woman driving the now named Humvee entered the hospital 2 hours after the surgery and opted to give Mercury a new pair of legs and would pay for the work required to attach them, thank goodness we had health insurance. Not a week after the replacement Mercury rocked up to school with me but decided from then on to only wear long legged pants as to keep his legs a secret to everyone else.
Fast-forward a year and we finally started Highschool, we both agreed upon going to the prestigious Fujimi academy not just because it was the best in the city but also because quite a few of our friends were headed there to. After the first few days we immediately made a lot of new friends but at the same time we lost an old friend Tsunoda I think his name was, he turn his back to us and even went as far as to become enraged at the mere mention of Mercury because he saw us sharing a loving embrace when we first entered the school. One of the first things we had to do at random student selection was attend a health and physical appointment with the school nurse, after Mercury had half his appointment as he ran out before the legs nerve exam he told me to prepare myself. When I enter the room I got one look at the nurse and saw a blonde with an immensely overproportioned chest, the first thing to cross my mind was Holy shit what the hell has that woman been eating, I didn't even think they could grow that big while looking down with a half mischievous, and half concerned expression while cupping the slight bumps on my chest, better just get this over with.
A month after that we started to get a good understanding of groups of people as well as to who the teachers are, how they act, and what they do, it became clear that out of all the teachers Mr Koichi Shido was someone to steer away from after our first humanity's class, his maniacal voice was irritating enough that I started bringing earplugs although he easily noticed and as Mercury quoted in one class "He sounds like a fucking religious preacher and I'm not a big fan of religion" that would have been enough to sum him up but one day he had also shown extra colours that he was a paedophile when he was standing at the back of the class as we individually gave an oral report from the front, one of the girls dropped her books and bent down to try and pick them up giving everyone a full view of her underwear and while Mercury didn't even pay any attention to the scene, and most of the boys turned away to hide their bulging eyes Mr Shido just kept looking, there was also the time when I caught him staring at me when I was stretching back in my chair sure my chest had grown to a comfortable D-cup size but that doesn't mean I like to show it and the hidden hungered look on Shido's face made feel sick. Over the next few weeks we managed to become great friends with people like Takashi Komuro a mostly quiet individual, Rei Myiamoto a way to cheery person even to my standards, Kohta Hirano a slightly overweight military enthusiast so he was quite shocked to hear Mercury tell him the time he got run over by a Humvee, Saeko Busujima an enigmatic person with a dark presence looming in her thank goodness our aura and it's Semblance still worked, still she was quite shocked during a dual I challenged her to when I used my arm to block her most dangerous strike resulted in her bokken breaking apart and proceeded to ask me how I didn't feel any pain from it, after a while we managed to befriend Saya Takagi although in our first confrontation I had to resist the urge to punch her smart ass down the hall for calling me a stereotypical Blonde bimbo. A few other minor friends we made were Hisahi Igou who I challenged to a friendly 1 one 1 fight to which I knocked him out cold after the first hit, Toshimi Niki and Misuzu ichijou I swear you can never separate those two, Morita an all round school pervert but at least he knows not to have a go at me especially when Mercury is around, and Imamura who also seems to act as a wall between Mercury and Tsunoda (the last two apparently don't have last names, prey tell as to why that is).
In terms of clubs I went with kendo and martial arts, as I knew I could do well in them, and Mercury chose Martial arts and track and field to which the latter had three of our most hated people in the school. Shido, Tsunoda and my personal most hated a slutty red-head that goes by the name of Yuuki Miku, their have been many occasions that she has made me want to smash that cake faced smile clean apart when she tries to hit on Mercury despite him shunning her off over a dozen times, all she wants to do is add him to her collection of boy toys that she can play with but unlike the others he isn't an empty head who easily falls for the seductive words of that viper's tongue, and it is also quite evident that she is more empty headed than nurse Marikawa as she doesn't understand the word no. I decided to sit in the stands during one of the track and field teams practice races and with the way he was conducting the event you could almost forget about how much of a sadistic bastard Mr Shido is. Upon the crack of the gunshot to indicate the start of the 200m sprint everyone who'd gathered at the stands instantly wide eyed how much faster Mercury was compared to the others and as he crossed the finish line he'd effortlessly smashed 5 seconds off the previous school record and in the process further infuriating Tsunoda. After that day came to a close we decided to head over to the Yatushama residence to say hi to the ones who took care of us and tell them how we've been, Ozokio told us about how he was currently helping out Rei's chief inspector Tadashi Myiamoto about allegations into possible corruption from Ichirou Shido's Diet political party to which we asked if he could pull up any files on his son Koichi Shido while they were on the case, he nodded in agreement as he thought the entire Shido family has had a share in the funny business.
3rd person P.O.V
Time: 9:35pm June 17th 2015
"And that leads us to now we're almost 17 and in a very happy relationship, I really think this life is quite comfortable. However I do have a few bones to pick one being what the hell are the hell are they putting in the food. I swear my breasts are larger than they should be I mean look at this, see GG-cup size". Yang said in an annoyed tone as she holds her bra's size tag up to the camera.
"Yang, you should really stop and think about what your doing before doing something stupid like that". Mercury said using his best attempts to calm down the fiery blonde.
"I'm sorry Merc but I just get a little frustrated with these things sometimes because the schools uniform shop doesn't have any in my size so I have to deal with a tight top and there's nothing I can do about it". Yang spoke back still with some slight annoyance while resting her head on Mercury's shoulder.
"Speaking of stupid ideas, why are we video logging our memories. Seriously we've been siting here speaking into a camera for over an hour". Mercury responded with a serious and confused tone.
"It's just so we can reflect back on our times when we're older, ok". Yang said while turning the camera off.
"I guess that seems like a good reason, come here you". Mercury said while picking Yang up bridal style and laying her gently on their bed before laying down on his side.
"You say that like you think it's a terrible idea". Yang said in a cheery and almost sing song tone as she slowly crept up on top of Mercury till they met face to face.
"I'm only saying that it seems like a pointless –mmph". Mercury was interrupted when Yang planted a very passionate kiss on his lips causing him to swallow the rest of his sentence.
As they finished both left their bodies relax and Yang fell on top of Mercury causing his face to go a few shades of red when her uncovered breasts collided directly on his exposed chest, giving him a playful smirk before slowly drifting off to sleep while he gently stroked her hair. Eventually Mercury's eyelids became to heavy to remain open and he carefully placed Yang's head on his left shoulder before finally falling asleep.
Chapter end.
A/N: and there you have it guys I've officially made Yang and Mercury a couple, I'm thinking of calling this pairing (Bright Night) if it's not to bad. What did you really expect a lemon this early in the story, get real but I promise you there will be time for that later. Now yes I didn't make this chapter to orientated on character dialogue but instead a brief view on their past (I was also trying not to overcomplicate everything other wise this chapter would probably be around 6-8 thousand words long and I can't keep up with that. Next chapter I may bring them forth to Z day and with the mere existence in this world some of the other characters from the manga are not going to die in this. Once again thank you for reading and I'll have the next chapter ready soon. Seeya's.
