A/N: Hello you gorgeous readers! MisterCaSt here! Welcome to IS: The Crazy Life.
This is a series of One-Shot's based on ideas I really want to share with everyone. Some will be short. Some will be long. They are all completely different and aren't connected to each other.
I don't know exactly how long this series will run for, but I feel like I have enough ideas for it to last a while. And it will be updated randomly.
Some characters may be OOC (Out of character) And I apologize in advance. In a way I want to make some of these more funny and possibly wholesome in a way.
With all that said, get reading!
Ichika was laying on his bed in his dorm room after another hard day. A school dance was scheduled for the upcoming weekend in two days. As one would expect, almost every girl in his class, including his harem, would try to ask him to do it. This thought weighed on his mind all evening.
Should I take someone? Or should I even go at all?
Suddenly, the door slammed open. "What the-!" Ichika flew off his bed in fear, landing on the floor.
What looked like a woman with blue hair cut into an angle bob, blue eyes, and wore an eyepatch similar to Laura. She was dressed in a black military uniform. She stood there with her right leg raised in the air as if she kicked the door open.
Dropping her leg she spotted Ichika sitting on the ground on the side of his bed. "You, Ichika Orimura!" She pointed her finger at him. "You're taking Bodewig to the dance this weekend!"
"Wait, what?! Who even are you?!"
She smirked. "I am Commander Clarissa Harfouch of the German Military! And you are taking Bodewig to the dance this weekend!"
While Ichika was still trying to register what had just happened. "Why would I take Laura?!" He said.
Instantly, he felt hands on his shoulders "Ahh!" He spun around in fright and saw Laura. Who sat there on the other bed with an excited look on her face. "Because Clarissa said you would!"
"Laura? When did you get here? And I never said that." He looked back at Clarissa. "I'm not doing that!"
Clarissa's smirk grew more sinister. "Really? Why don't we try this again?"
A quick flash filled the room. Clarissa's right arm now had partial I.S. deployment. She held up her metallic arm in a fist toward him. "How about now?"
Ichika felt ice shoot up his spine. He didn't think that taking Laura to the dance was really a bad idea. It was more of what the others would think or do if they found out.
Sensing that something bad would happen to him if he refused, he decided to go along with it.
"Okay, okay… I'll take you to the dance Laura."
"Yes!" Laura then quickly left the room beaming in happiness.
Clarissa turned to Ichika again. "If you try to back out." She held up her I.S. arm in a fist again. "You know what happens."
"Y-Yes." He held up his hands. "I won't."
She then deactivated the arm. "Good. But I will still be keeping an eye on you." With that, she left the room.
Ichika collapsed on his bed. Realizing the trouble this was going bring him.
Why me?!
*The next day*
Ichika had arrived at class. He could see the usual sight of various girls chatting about. Only today it was about a very specific topic.
"Orimura, are you taking anyone to the dance?" A random girl asked.
The other girls in his harem noticed this and made their way towards him.
Ichika could only sigh.
I knew it! I knew this would happen.
He didn't see Laura present in the room. However, he didn't have the time to think about that as he had his other friends to worry about.
"Ichika, dear," Cecilia asked, blushing slightly. "You wouldn't have happened to be taking anyone to the dance this weekend, would you?"
Ichika felt a chill crawl up his spine. He knew exactly where this was going. And it didn't help that Houki was already frowning from Cecilia's question.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Houki asked her.
Cecilia smirked, bringing her hand to her hips. "I'm merely asking if Ichika would have the honor of taking the great Cecilia Alcott to the dance this weekend."
"And what makes you think he will take you of all people?"
"Well it's not every day that a famous noble such as myself would ask a commoner to a great dance. Now would it?"
Charlotte was jealous of this. She also came from a big I.S. production company. She could consider herself a noble as much as Cecilia. She believed she and Ichika had gotten along pretty well. Maybe he would be better off taking her instead.
"Um, Ichika." Her face grew pink. "I'm pretty much a noble as well if you think about it. Since we get along well, maybe you should take me." She looked away to hide her flushed face.
"Well… You see, Charl…" Ichika had to admit that Charlotte was one of the bunch that he considered asking.
Ichika suddenly felt a cling on his arm. "I'm sorry, but my bride has already decided to take me to the dance this weekend!" Laura stated as she clung tightly to his arm.
"WHAT!" The rest of them yelled.
"What is she saying, Ichika?!" Houki demanded.
"You're not really taking her, are you?!" Cecilia followed after her.
Ichika's face went red as he touched the back of his neck. "Well… Yes, I'm taking her…"
This only made them more jealous and mad. Including Charlotte.
"Why are you talking her out of all of us, Ichika?" Charlotte asked, calmly. Though she felt rage built up inside.
"Well…" He didn't think it was a good idea to tell them about how Clarissa threatened him to take Laura to the dance or there would be consequences for him.
"She… Just came to me last night and she looked really determined to have me take her and I felt bad if I had turned her down." He lowered his gaze to the floor.
While that wasn't the truth, he hoped it would hopefully get them somewhat off the case. They then looked at Laura with fire in their eyes. To which in return, Laura only grinned mockingly at them.
"Alright everyone, sit down!" Chifuyu barked as she entered the room.
The others instantly pouted and gave Ichika the cold shoulder. Just as he suspected. He went and sat down at his seat.
This is not going to end well.
*Saturday evening*
Ichika awkwardly walked to Laura and Charlotte's room. He never could've predicted that it would be Laura he would be taking. Only he didn't have much of a choice in this situation.
Once he arrived, he stood in front of the door for a second before giving a brief knock. It was only a matter of seconds before the door opened, revealing Laura. Who wore a black strapless dress that went down a little past her thighs and seemed to fit her small figure perfectly. She also had her hair tied in a ponytail.
Ichika had to admit that she looked really cute. Not that he didn't think she was cute already, but this time she was something else.
"Shall we be going, my bride?" Laura held out her hand for him to grab.
"O-Oh, right, sorry." He took her hand. "I just noticed how good you look…"
Laura felt as if lava had poured down her face. She looked away from him to hide her tomato red face.
"I-Idiot" She muttered quietly.
"Hmm, what was that?"
"N-Nothing let's just get going!"
"O-Okay," Ichika responded, awkwardly.
The two began to make their way down the hallway hand in hand. Ichika only felt more nervous, thinking that things could go wrong in so many ways.
When they arrived, Laura instantly dragged Ichika out onto the dance floor. Ichika felt every eye on them in this moment as were lasers and that he was the target.
Especially by some specific ones. Ichika looked over to his left side and saw Houki, Cecilia, Rin, Charlotte all staring at them with anger and envy marking their faces.
"Can we get some better music for me and my bride here!" Laura called over to the booth where the music was being played from.
The girl who was supervising the music had headphones on. She didn't even lift her head to look at Laura who called to her.
Laura, feeling angry from thinking she was ignored, turned to face Ichika. "Wait here! I'm going to get them to play some better dance music for us."
Ichika only nodded before Laura made her way over to the DJ. He noticed that he and Laura already drew attention due to being in the middle of the area. Now that Laura had walked away for a second, some of the attention was taken off of him and followed on Laura as she said out loud that she wanted the music changed.
Noticing this, Ichika decided to make an escape. He quickly moved out of the light to avoid being caught. Noticing one of the exits, he moved quickly but carefully to it.
Luckily, it wasn't too far from the dance floor. He opened the door, trying to be as quiet as possible so no one would notice him.
"Hey! Where did my bride go?" Laura called out.
Hearing that, Ichika quickly and quietly slipped out the door without anyone noticing him. As he passed through, he slowly let it shut in order not to make it noticeable.
Letting out a sigh of relief, he wondered what he should do now as he knew Laura would try to look for him. He made his way down the hallway as he thought about what to do next.
What should I do? She'll come look for me eventually.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Feeling like ice was injected into his veins, Ichika turned to find Clarissa wearing a smirk.
Ichika knew he couldn't stay silent here. "I-I was just…" He struggled to find the right words. "Looking for the bathroom. T-That's all." He tried to hide his nervousness.
"Oh, so you weren't looking to abandon Bodewig, were you?"
Before he could respond, the door down at the end of the hall swung open.
"Ichika, where-" Houki called out, but cut herself off when she saw Ichika and a woman she had never seen before standing down at the end of the short hall. The others soon followed in after her.
"How is this, Ichika?!" Demanded Houki. The others clearly wanted to know as well.
"I'm Commander Clarissa Harfouch of the German military!" She stated. "I'm the one who set this up with Orimura here to take Bodewig to the dance."
"WHAT!" They shouted.
"Is this true, Ichika!" Rin shot out.
Ichika knew that was half the truth. He didn't know if he should tell them that Clarissa threatened him to take Laura to the dance.
"Y-Yeah, that's it." He stuttered out.
Suddenly the door that Ichika sneaked out of flew open, revealing an angry Laura. "What are you doing my bride?! There's slow dance music playing for us. Come dance with me!" She demanded.
Ichika turned to look at the others again. Clarissa looked at him expectedly. Anger clearly filled the other's faces. Ichika wrecked his brain on what to do. He remembered what Clarissa said, but was also worried about what the others might do if he agreed to it.
Screw it! This isn't worth it!
In the flick of a second, Ichika bolted his passed everyone and down the hall. He sensed what the consequences would be, but thought he might as well try to escape first.
"Hey get back here, Ichika!" Houki yelled out.
She and the others were all about to chase after him. Unfortunately, Clarissa was already on that. "Hey, you get back here and slow dance with Bodewig this instant!" With that, she partially activated her unit and flew across the hallway with her fist activated as well.
Luckily, Ichika got a head start so he was able to get out of the place quickly before she could catch him. Escaping through an exit outside, he made a run for it. He didn't exactly know where to go, but knew he had to get out of this situation fast.
As he ran, the door slammed open behind him. He was able to turn a corner and get out of sight before she could spot him.
This woman is crazy!
Ichika just continued running, not daring to look back. He then decided to run and hide back in his dorm room. As he ran his way to the dorms, he didn't hear her behind him anywhere.
"I think I lost her," He said as he slowed down a little bit to catch his breath.
The dorm building came into view, Ichika picked up his pace once again. The moment he opened the main entrance, and instead of the hallway he was met with somebody who he has classified as crazy. Clarissa. She stood with a smirk with her metallic I.S. gauntlet. Not saying a word she launched it at him.
"Ah!" Ichika sat up in his bed. Looking around, he saw nobody. No Laura, Clarissa, or any of his other friends. Only an almost pitch black room.
"Thank god! It was just a dream."
Just as Ichika moved his hand, he felt a slump in his bed. Just as he was about to move the sheets, whatever was in his bed sat up causing the sheets to fall off. There sat Laura in her pajamas.
"You shall take me to the dance, my bride!"
WHY?!
A/N: So how was that first one? I find that Clarissa doesn't get enough time in the main canon, so I decided to give her a spotlight. She may be a little out of character and I apologize for that. I just thought it would make it funny.
Is this finished? No! I have many more ideas that I want to share. I don't know when the next one will be out as I have work and my personal life to attend to. Not to mention other Fanfiction projects I'm working on. I still have ideas for this that you will see soon.
Until then, peace!
