A/N:
This is the first and LAST Author's note Imma be setting at the beginning of a chapter.
Anyways. Hello there guys and I hope y'all are having a wonderful day or... what ever it's over there right now.
So, I've been surfing the internet and stumbled on a Anime called, The dreaming Boy is a Realist. Some of you might have seen it, probably the people who are reading this HAVE seen it lol, but yeah I'm trailing off again. I've seen it, I've liked it and I hate everyone associated with it for not bringing up a Season 2.
Yep... I know that's sad but here I come now!
NO! I will not be doing a what if season two came out and neither am I making a "They watching their series". I am making my own shit, in SwissShadow style. Hell yeah!
This means probably military slash police related incidents lol.
Nah no worries, What I'm planing on will not include the real military or any other Militaristic forces or factions. They're in Highschool after all and I try to keep things realistic from here on out. Emphasis on TRYING!
I'll be replacing all characters and add my OC's. I'll delete some characters completely out of the story because PLOT. The main lore is still following the Anime though. Albeit with a completely different outcome.
Enough Yapping, now it's reading time. Have fun! Or don't, I don't give a single Fuck if y'all don't like it except if you have valid points for example my spelling or spelling mistakes, some event that completely breaks the story and the plot and/or unrealistic shit. Then you can complain.
Anyways. Welcome to my version of, "The dreaming Boy is a Realist
Chapter-1
Sunday
Here I was... my camouflaged clothing completely blending in with the forest I'm in. My friend Dave beside me. We're walking slowly through the bushes and woods, our trusty rifles always at the ready when suddenly there is a shot, and dave raises his Hand.
"HIT!", he yells with all his lungs could give. I immediately dive to the ground as a white BB whizzes passed my head, missing me by inches. Dave is already walking back to the spawn, on the way throwing some colorful words into the air.
"I know you're out there Felix! Better give up now, before I humiliate you!", I yell towards where I estimate Felix's position. There of course is no response, why would he respond in the first place. He isn't stupid.
Deciding this is getting boring, I slowly but surely make my way to a nearby tree, all the way there I'm tightly hugging the ground and giving Felix no opportunity to get a glimpse at me.
I reached the tree and got myself up. It was just wide enough to cover my body, so I had no room for mistakes here. Peeking around the tree I spotted a glint in the bushes. Simultaneously a BB hit the thick trunk of the tree and I immediately got back behind it.
"Huh... close one", I mutter under my breath as my pulse quickened. Reading my rifle, I prepared myself to take a crack shot at Felix.
"Alright... one... two...", In that moment I peaked around, my rifle against my shoulder as I squeezed the trigger multiple times. The electric motor working its magic and sending white BB after white BB towards my intended target. The glint in the bushes.
I immediately dove back behind the tree and waited for the "HIT", but it never came. "Huh?... I hit that asshole. For sure".
Adjusting my OpsCore helmet I peaked around again. No shots. I raised an eyebrow and showed more of my body, completely aware that in a moments notice, Felix could take me out right here and now if he wanted to. But there wasn't any shots fired.
I decided to approach the glint, my rifle raised as I aimed at it. Reaching it I saw it was Felix's SSG-24 laying on the ground, his scope glinting the sunlight straight into my eyes. I Picked it up and turned around to look for Felix, but in that moment, he jumped out of a bush and aimed his Pistol at me. My rifle was down so he sniggered.
"I got you Alex", he stated proudly. Last time this happened, I came out on top.
"Oh you sure?", I asked, my own grin forming on my face.
"Definitely", he answered before squeezing the trigger. The BB flew towards me and hit me right in between my legs, hitting my left nut.
"FUCK! Hit". I immediately went on my knees and held his rifle up high while my other hand groped myself to cope with the pain. "You asshole", I said through gritted teeth. He only smiled and laughed out loud at that. "I win... you lose. Just how things are Alex", He stated and took his rifle from my hands with a chuckle.
He didn't notice how I pulled my own side arm though. The moment he noticed it was already to late, since the BB was already flying towards his nutsack. I saw his eyes widen in shock as it was in slow-motion. I grinned approvingly and nodded wildly as the BB hit him. With a yelp he also went down to his knees.
"Ouch! Fucking hell!"
At the spawn, we all hung at a table, our armbands the only thing distinguishing us from another. While Dave, I and some other friends had a blue one. Felix, the sharpshooter was the only one with a red one, meaning he was on the opposing team.
If an outsider would see this now, he'd probably think that he has stumbled into a major Military operation here. The way we dress looks like soldiers all around the world are gathered here. For example there is this random dude in Ratnik gear, Ratnik being the newest program to give the Russian armed forces a edge over NATO, featuring the EMR camouflage, or how it's also known, Digital Flora.
Another sat at the table across the yard, eating with his buddies as he was covered from head to toe in Multicam camouflage, looking like a US. Army service man.
Airsoft was always one of my favorite sports. Some might get mad now and say that Airsoft is not a sport but hobby. I call it a sport and that's for me. The other's can fuck off if they're offended.
Yeah, the introduction might be a little late, but how's the saying? Better late than never hehe.
Anyways, hello. My name is Alexander Lexington. I'm a first year High school student in the Ravenwood High and regularly attend Airsoft events. Nearby I am a cosplayer and often cosplay as Soldiers, either from a specific nation or unit or soldiers from Games like a certain character with a skull mask who's absolutely overused in the cosplay world.
My grades at school are pretty much average. My looks? Brown hair, green eyes and a average body shape. Nothing special really.
"Hey Alex, what's up with you and Iris lately?", asked Dave as he opened a can of soda. The chatting at our table died down as everyone wanted to hear the latest about me and my undying crush for a girl called Iris.
Iris was something like the popular girl at our school. Or at least amongst our class, since all the girls practically jumped on her the moment she entered the classroom. She was easily the prettiest girl in the school by far. Her white silver hair always glistening in the sunlight. Her ocean blue eyes engrossing everyone who dared to look into the for to long. Her soft facial features combined with her smile, could light up a whole room. Y
Yes... I'm probably drooling about her right now but I don't give a shit. Ever since a little incident I had a huge crush on her and swore to her and to myself that I'll make her to my wife one day.
Well... what can I say... the first time I confessed my Love to her, she politely rejected me, saying she wasn't ready for a Relationship yet, so I've waited. I am probably an Idiot for doing what I've done next... but I've then confessed my love to her once each month, then twice and in the end it was almost every day. I waited at her locker, stood next to her table any free minute I got from school and even... yes I hate my self for it... but there was a Time where I followed her home. It was only twice though and she never found out, so... yeah the second time she was on to me so I stopped that just as fast as I have begun it.
Since about three weeks now, We've started to split apart. Every time I'd confess, it's always the same answer. She either isn't ready or can't get to be into one until she's older. Lately her tone had gotten a Edge though and I have started slowly to stop pursuing her. Tomorrow, Monday will be my last attempt to confess, if that won't work... I will probably try to move on.
"Hmm...", I sighed, "It's kind of complicated right now, I don't even know what to do anymore".
I suddenly felt Felix's hand on my shoulder, "You can't give up man, one day, she will be yours. Just give her some time and she'll find it out on her own that she actually need you. I mean you are a great young man. You have a heart the size of a container ship and the courage of a Knight. She will see it eventually". Felix's face was sincere as he spoke. But the silence was soon broken by another friend.
"Yo Felix, this was some of the corniest shit I've ever heard you say bro!", exclaimed Eric just before breaking into a fit of laughter. The remaining guys, Dave included began to laugh along as Felix grew a blush.
"Next time we are against each other, I'll shoot every single one of you in the nuts, if you don't stop laughing already!", Felix threatened, a Smirk growing as his blush disappeared. The other guys went silent immediately as the threat left Felix's mouth. "Fucking thought so", He added, he added, his evil smirk never leaving his face.
I just sighed at the interaction between the guys and spoke up, "I'm trying to move on from her".
A genuine Silence spread across the whole yard as everyone stopped speaking. And I mean everyone, even the refs.
"Holy shit... look what you did", said Dave playfully.
"Yo... motherfucker, if you, of all people manage to move on from Iris, I will give you my rifle for free. I'll even clean it for you for three months straight", Stated Felix while gingerly stroking his SSG-24, with another smirk forming kn his face as he eyed me.
It kind of hurt, hearing that coming out from a close friend's mouth, but I couldn't deny the fact that... he was right.
"Is that a bet?", I asked. Suddenly Ivan, another friend of ours jumped onto the table and pointed a finger at all of us.
"Guys. He said bet. You know what this means", he stated and Picked his helmet from the table holding it to each one of the others.
"Sorry man Alex... but my money's on Felix here", Said Eric as he tossed 50 bucks into the helmet.
"Alex, you know I like you my friend but even I have to say that you moving on from Iris is something only told in fairytales. My money's on Felix too", Stated Dave and also tossed bucks into the helmet of Ivan.
"Alex, don't make me regret this", said Brian and tossed 100 bucks into the the helmet. "Ooh... Brian' risking something today", said Eric and chuckled. "I want to sincerely thank you for your hundred bucks B", he added before continuing to laugh.
"Oh shut up you jackass", Brian countered before turning to me, "Hell do it", he added with a nod.
I gave him a nod in response and mouthed a thank you, just before the ref came into the yard with a speaker and began to yell at us, "Alright ladies. Who wants another round?!"
Monday
'Beeb beeb beeb beeb, beeb beeb beeb beeb, beeb beeb-'
"Ah fuck..." I muttered as my Alarm clock woke me up. I probably shouldn't have challenged Felix to a duel after the last round... shit why is this asshole so good at hitting people with white plastic balls for fucks sake...
Anyways, today's school and I'm sitting in my bed, rethinking my whole life and all the choices I've made till here. I thought of the moments I met my friends, the moment I've met Iris... and the actions I've done afterwards. I see now that I was probably blinded by love... by her looks... no... she not only looks beautiful, she's a beautiful person on the inside too. She love's to help people... she always had a kind heart and... I just fell in love with that. But now I see... my feelings where all one sided. Today... Today's the day I'll make my last move on her. If she rejects me again... then I'll start to move on... probably... hopefully.
I got myself ready, jumped under the shower, brushed my teeth and made my hair even. I slung my backpack over my shoulder and looked one last time into the mirror and took a deep breath, "Here goes nothing".
Outside, I stumbled across Iris, it really doesn't help that we have almost the same way to school. Normally I'd be on her right now... but now... I really don't feel like it. So I waited for her to gain some distance before continuing to walk.
I noticed her looking around, almost as if she was confused, bore shaking her head and continuing to walk. I didn't really pay it much mind so I also just kept walking.
On the way I met Felix, later Eric joined us too.
"How are your balls?", asked Felix with a shit eating grin.
I glared at him, "why always the left one?", I asked, my tone laced with pain. That just made the two laugh. "And why are you laughing Eric? You got shot in the balls by him too. Oh wait... that's right. You can't feel anything down there, since you don't have anything down there". My counter made Felix laugh even harder and Eric completely stopped laughing, before another grin spread across his face. "You know... your mom-", he began but I immediately cut him off with a pointed glare and pointed finger.
"Hey! To far", I said, my voice alarming. He took the hint and raised his hands in mock surrender.
"Alright alright, I just wanted to say that your mom liked them", a huge grin broke out on his face and Felix couldn't contain himself anymore and was now on the ground rolling with laughter.
I prepared myself to jump Eric but I suddenly stopped in my tracks as a Voice rang through the air like a Whip. "Hey! What is so funny?!". It was Iris, the beauty in person. She probably got tired of us laughing like maniacs and now was curious if we were laughing at her.
"Oh hey... hey Iris", Began Felix, he couldn't even say coherent sentences in his fit of laughter so Eric took over. I saw the whole already apart so I shoved Eric away and took over myself. I wouldn't let Eric talk to someone like Iris.
"Yeah... you see. We didn't laugh at-", I began but she held her hand in the air, gesturing me to stop. "You know what, I don't even care".
Felix got up and brushed himself off and looked at me, I was a little heart broken at the harshness in her tone but I tried to not pay it any mind. "Wow... what is up with her?", asked Felix.
Suddenly Eric came back and looked at her too, "Yeah... this is absolutely not the Iris I know... any of us know".
I just nodded along without saying anything as I kept looking at her disappearing form before she rounded the corner and left our view completely.
"Well... that was... new", I muttered.
"Yeah, I think she had finally enough of you", snickered Eric just before receiving a glare from Felix. "Yo. Not funny", He said, making Eric shut up immediately.
"What y'all say if we just keep going?", I asked, making the two turn to me. "That's probably the best Idea you've had today", answered Felix.
"Yeah what ever, dickhead", I muttered and took off. He laughed at the last comment before pulling Eric with him and catching up to me.
Once we reached the school, I went straight to my locker after I made sure to meet up with the boys afterwards.
I took a deep breath and walked to my next destination. My last fight if you want. I was heading to Iris to make my final confession.
Reaching her Locker, I went up to her with a beaming smile. I've heard whispers from other students but I ignored them as I approached her. I stood still behind her and waited for her to turn around. Feeling my shadow on her she finally asked, "What do you want Alex", her tone wasn't as harsh as it was earlier.
"I uh... I wanted to ask you... would you go out with me now?". A collective silence stretched through the hallway and I was expecting a rejection. Her saying she isn't ready or anything else, but not this. She... she really snapped.
Taking a deep breath she turned around, probably holding back a insult or something like that. "Alex...", she began slowly, "For the probably 100th time. NO! Why can't you take the fucking hint already!".
Something inside me just shattered. I don't know if it was my heart, or my dignity. Probably both at this point.
I forced a Smile and stayed cool with it. Shaking it off as it if was nothing. "Okay, sorry for bothering you this early in the morning". I said and turned around as I held back tears.
The rest of the school day was pretty uneventful except for the fact that I didn't approach Iris again that day. And that will probably stay this way from here on out.
That same evening I laid in my bed, pretty much emotionless, just staring at the sealing.
"Alright... this is it then...", I picked up my phone and went straight to the messenger app we used in our school and clicked on Iris' name. Looking at our chats I only now noticed how often she left me on "read". Going to the contact information, I scrolled down and... blocked her. I did the same with all the other social media accounts I had been following her.
"Step one is completed...", I sighed, "One more remaining", I muttered before hopping on my PC and opening the writing software.
"Letter for the, 28. March 2024, Alexander Lexington.
For the longest of times I have been harassing the Girl known as Iris McArthur. I have been in love with her ever since I've met her. Today was the last day I will have ever asked her out on a date with me. With that I Alexander Lexington sign the final good bye to my love, Iris. This letter serves as a confirmation that I have officially started to move on from my blind and one sided love for Iris.
If anyone other than my self reads this, it means i'm probably dead or in another country and I have forgotten the letter. Anyway please do me a favor and don't spread this.
With the kindest regards
Alexander Lexington"
"Alright... I did it. From now on... I won't pursue Iris anymore and concentrate on my self.
