Heys guys! Kitty29 here with a new chapter of Colours!
First of all, thank you Monochrome Cloud for the 500th review! Wow! 500! Can you believe it? I can't believe it. And now, just to stretch my luck, my next goal is 600 reviews! Let's do this thing!
Wow, I, um, didn't think I would get this chapter up so fast. I don't know why I'm writing this so quickly, maybe it's because of all the great feedback I get for you guys that majority strokes my ego every time I read them, thanks guys! Or maybe I'm excited for the later chapters. The later chapters are going to be gooodd.
Also, for those who care, I've been re-reading and editing this story(So many mistakes, ah!). I think I have the first...10 or so chapters up and edited, and the others should join them soon. Cause...apparently, as if once wasn't enough, some people like to go though this thing twice. I don't get it(So if you see any mistakes, please tell me).
Anyways, random author crap aside, please enjoy!
"Did you hear what happened?"
"That Ludwig was shot? Oh meh god I know!"
"You think he's in a gang or something?"
"I heard he beat Feliciano into a coma!"
"Maybe that Williams kid did it. It's always the the quiet ones. He was there you know."
"I hate rumours," Alfred mumbled as he bought his food and sulked back into the cafeteria. It was lunch time at the high school and today's hot topic of discussion was the shooting of their fellow classmate. At first everyone was just reporting what they had heard on the news but as the day went on more and more rumours and gossip emerged. The most outrageous one that Alfred has heard was that Ludwig was part of a gang and had led Matthew and Feliciano there because they owned him money. Ludwig then pulled out a gun and Matthew struggled with him. It was in that struggle that Ludwig had shot Feliciano before Matthew grabbed the gun and shot Ludwig.
It was absolutely ridiculous, even for Alfred's love for stupid stories. It was bad enough that Matthew had to go through all that in the first place. Now when he came back he had to deal with all this stupidness.
He sighed as he went and sat down at the table where Emmett and his group were or, as the rest of the school dubbed it, 'The Cool Table'. The table that Alfred was proud to say he had spent most of the year sitting at. "Hey guys!" He greeted as he set his stuff down. "You hear these rumours? Stupid, am right I?"
The table grew oddly silent at the American's words, it's members looking away from him. Alfred rose an eyebrow and tilted his head in confusion. "Uh, guys? When a bro greets you, you greet a bro back."
At that the people looked to him, each with a bit of disgust in their eyes. One by one they gathered up their things and left the table until only Alfred and one other were left.
"...The hell was that about?" The American wondered aloud before before he gasped. "Damn! You think Rook found out about Maria?"
"This isn't about his girlfriend hitting on you at some stupid dance," said Martin, a very close friend of Alfred's. "I don't think they're avoiding you, Al. I think they're ditching you."
Alfred looked utterly dumbfounded. "'Ditching me?' Why the hell would would they ditch me? I'm cool!"
"Do you need a list?" Martin said jokingly.
"Yes."
Martin stared at Alfred's completely serious face for a while before he indulged him. "Don't take this the wrong way but—"
"Argh! Why would you say that? Now I am going to take it the wrong way!"
Martin ignored him. "You make friends with some of the most homophobic people in school and expect them to be friendly towards you?"
Alfred stared at him blankly. "What does that have to do with anything? I'm straight."
Martin rolled his eyes. "Yeah, as straight as a snake."
"...What?"
"You know, when it moves it doesn't go in a straight line but it kinda of...curves..." He decided to go back to the original topic. "You have two Dads, your relationship with your twin is borderline gay and you have a crush on Emmett, the frinkin' leader of the homophobes."
Alfred was about argue that, but then saw the bigger picture. "Wait. He knew?"
"Duh. Everyone knew Alfred, you're not exactly subtle. The only reason he still hung out with you was 'cause he thought you were cool. Said that as long as you didn't act on it he could over look it."
"...He said I was cool?" Alfred said, not seeming to hear the rest of the stuff.
Again, Martin chose to ignore him. "But I think what drove them over was the date you went on with the weird Korean guy who likes touching people's boobs."
Alfred slammed a fist down on the table, making his friend jump at the sudden mood swing. "WHAT? I wasn't on a—with Yong Soo, I...! Who told you that?"
"Dude," Martin held his hands up in a surrendering motion. "I've seen photographic evidence. That's what you get for running into Feliks. She, er, he's like the gossip queen or something...King...?"
Well...Shit. That date was supposed to be just a one time thing! Just a thing to make the kid happy. Not something the gossip queens could sink their teeth into! Shit! Removing his glasses his groaned as he ran a hand down his face. "Shit, bro. What do I do? I...I'm straight..."
Martin grew rather annoyed at this. "Look, lie to everyone else about this, but not me. I could care less if you dated turtles!...Unless it was my turtle."
"Okay, fine! I'm...I'm bi but that's not the point! The point is...!" Wait. What was the point? Oh right...Not being 'cool' anymore...
Martin reached out and placed a hand on Alfred's shoulder. "You gonna be okay?"
There was a pause before Alfred nodded and placed his glasses back on with a grin. "I'll bounce back, I am the Hero! And Hero's can't mope around all day! But what about you? Aren't you going to follow them?"
Martin shook his head and smiled. "Nah. The only reason I was this group in the first place was because I'm friends with you. They dump you, they dump me."
Alfred smiled back. "That's oddly sweet. Thanks bro."
"But I, uh...Do have to leave you now," He said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. "Emmett said he would drive me home now cause I kind of, uh, forgot my epiPen and if my mom found out she would freak so—"
"You forgot your epiPen?" Alfred exclaimed, his eyes wide in mild horror. "What the hell? Go! GO!" He then proceeded to slap Martin's arm until he too gathered his stuff and left.
"'Til you get it stay away from nuts! And shellfish! And gold! And bees! And..." Alfred paused. "Actually, just don't touch anything!"
Alfred watched until his friend was out of sight before he slumped down at the table and sighed. Well today was turning out to be awesome. Dumped by people he thought were friend's just because he went on a pity date. Yaaayyy... He was just about to get up to join some of his other friends when a timid voice called him out.
"H-Hello, Alfred. Do you mind if I sit here?"
Alfred looked up to see Katyusha, Matthew's rather busty friend, standing on the other side of the table, smiling at him nervously. Alfred blinked at her presence. Usually the girl spent nearly all of her spear time helping out school clubs that she got roped into joining, meaning she was almost never around for lunch. He smiled at her, "Yeah, sure."
Katyusha smiled back before she sat down. "I, um...I heard about what happened to Matvey..." She opted to looking down at her lap instead of the other student. "Is...Is he okay?"
Alfred nodded, "Yeah, he's fine. Sprained his wrist but now he has a cast you can sign."
To Alfred's confusion, Katyusha looked a bit relieved. Usually the girl overreacted to people getting paper cuts. "O-oh. That's good, I mean, I heard he was shot..."
Alfred rose an eyebrow. "Huh? No, no, Mattie didn't get shot. Where did you hear that?"
Katyusha released a large sigh of relief. "He-He wasn't? Oh thank God. I-I was really worried. Because we're close friends and all...I...I heard it from some classmates just this morning. Is it true that Ludwig dropped a computer motor on Feliciano's head?"
Alfred just stared, incredulous. What the hell? He groaned before he thumped his head against the table, much to Katyusha's confusion. "That's not what happened! Those are just stupid rumours! Dammit, I need to do something to stop this..."
Though the last part was mostly said to himself, Katyusha still questioned it. "Um, Alfred? How are you going to stop rumours?"
There was a pause before an idea foamed inside his head. Huh, it wasn't his usual style of creating diversions, but what the hell. The first plan is usually the best one anyway, right? He smirked up at the Ukraine girl. "I'm gonna give them something else to talk about."
Without further elaborating to the confused female, Alfred stood from the table. Gathering up his stuff, he bid farewell to Katyusha before he made his way to another table. Specifically, the table where most of the schools Asian population sat.
"Hey," Alfred greeted once he was close enough. Everyone there greeted him back, one in particular looked elated that the American was among them. "Not gonna disturb you guys, just need to borrow Yong Soo for a bit." Even before the sentence was finished, the Korean had leap up and was by the American's side. Alfred was slightly disturbed by how fast he did that, but let it slide.
"Hi, Alfred, da~ze!" Yong Soo greeted happily. "What do you need me for?"
At this, Alfred grinned. "Oh you'll see." Grabbing the other by the hand, which gained a curt squeal of delight, Alfred lead him back to the table he was previously at, seeing as that was the only one that was pretty much empty (but Katyusha, who was watching the events unfold in wonder) Once there Alfred removed his backpack and rested it on a chair, and encouraged the Asian to do the same. Alfred then stepped up onto one of the chairs before he placed a foot on the table, looking like he was about to climb onto it. Yong Soo pulled him back a bit, just enough to get his attention. "What are you doing? That's school property!"
Wow, he actually looked a bit mortified by that fact. What was with Asians and school? "Climb up on the table with me, Yong Soo."
Yong Soo was shocked. "Why?"
Didn't look like the Korean was breaking down. Right, plan B. Alfred jotted out his bottom lip and tilted his head, trying to pull off the puppy dog look. "Please, Yong Soo? For me? Just this once I promise."
Success. Yong Soo's cheeks took on a light pink and he pursed his lips in thought. "If it's for you..."
Alfred smiled. He got up on the table before he helped the Korean up with him as well. Thankfully these tables were strong enough to support two teen males. Even so, Yong Soo continuing to hold onto the American's hand's, looking like he didn't trust the tables sturdiness. "Okay, da~ze. Now what?"
Nows where the fun begins, Alfred thought with a smirk. "HEY EVERYONE!" He suddenly called out with his loud voice, making Yong Soo jump. "THE HERO, A.K.A ALFRED F, BONNEYFOY-KIRKLAND, WANTS EVERYONES ATTENTION!"
Though the cafeteria was loud, Alfred's voice was just a bit louder and managed to get about half of the students to turn and look to him. Alfred now spoke a bit more quiet, hearing that the volume had died down. "So, there's this rumour going around that I was on a date with Yong Soo," At that, the room grew even more silent as more people began to pay attention, a couple of them even pulling out their phones to record the event.
"Yeah, I know it's ridiculous, right? Me, going on a date with another dude, but as soon as I heard it I knew I had to set things straight. This rumour...This rumour's true, Yong Soo and I were on a date." Some of the more excitable people began to chat frantically amongst themselves and the focus seemed to shift over to the Korea, much to Yong Soo's horror. It didn't seem like he liked being the centre of attention for such large crowds.
"But that's not it!" Alfred proclaimed, easily getting the attention back on him. "I'm the one who asked this guy on a date! And you know what? I think I'll do it again! Cause I like this dude!" Now, with nearly everyone's eyes on him, he turned to the Korean and whispered, "You ready? It's time for the big finale! Don't worry, I used to take dance lessons."
Yong Soo just stared at him, nothing in his face showing he understood what the American was talking about. "Wha—?"
Without waiting for a coherent answer, Alfred pulled back his hands so that he could wrap his arms around the smaller student. Then, swinging Yong Soo around and dipping him, Alfred smashed their lips together in a fierce kiss.
Immediately wolf and cat calls as well as camera's clicking sounded, but the two teens didn't care. They were lost in their own world, so much so that Yong Soo reached up and wrapped his arms around the blond's neck, increasing the volume of the cheers. Alfred had to force himself to break away from the kiss, especially since Yong Soo didn't seem as if he wanted it to stop either, not wanting to give the school more than they needed to get the job done. They simply stared at each other for a bit, their hot breaths warming each others cheeks as they panted slightly. It didn't seem as if either of them expected the kiss to be as intense as it was. Alfred was the one to break the silence between them.
"Wanna go on another date? I'll pay this time." He said just loud enough for the Korean to hear.
Yong Soo looked at him with wide eyes, his mouth parted slightly. It looked as it he was still trying to decide if this was a dream or not. "Y-Yes..."
"Cool. How's Friday? We'll meet after school."
"...yes..."
Moving Yong Soo so he was upright again, Alfred stepped off the table before he helped the other down as well. He then turned and left the cafeteria without a word, feeling as though his work was done and that it would be the epic thing to do. If he had looked back, however, he would have noticed Yong Soo nearly stumble when he concluded that this was real and have to be held up by Katyusha. If he had stayed, he would have heard the Korean's words as he was lowered onto a chair.
"Best first kiss ever, da~ze."
Alfred totally took salsa dancing as a kid. Because he can(Nah, it was probably ballet or something. Something to 'improve his wicked dance moves').
