1x1 w/ Milk & Tea / Soul Eater

[Poppycorn222]

Akira was shocked at just how strong the attack seemed to be,hell it even landed right in the center of the target. She couldn't have been more pleased. This was absolutely perfect, she had a strong partner who could help her hone her skills. She was giddy at the thought of finally being able to collect souls, and maybe unlock the power of her staff form. Her thoughts were quickly broken however, when she noticed all eyes seemed to be on them. Akira felt a little semiconscious, and if she had been in her human form at the time she would have covered her face with her hands, but there was no doing that at the moment. She was still in her bow form, so there was nothing she could do to hide from the stares. Eventually Professor Stein redirected the other students, saying something about how all the meisters should aim to be on Yuichi's level and all the weapons should help their meisters achieve that by the end of the year. As soon as the other students stopped paying attention to her and her partner, Akira relaxed,listening to Yuichi ask her a question. She shook her head,as if he could see it."No,no questions right now. Its about the same as when Allen and I worked together,just . . .stronger." she stated,her voice growing wistful at the mention of Allen. Akira knew it was never meant to be, her mother had ruined any chance she had with the boy, but the memories of him still made her dreamy, thinking about hiw things might've turned out if her mother hadnt intervened.

Akira quickly refoucsed herself, she had someone better than Allen now, someone who seemingly cared for her, if that kiss earlier was anything to go by. Thinking of that made her blush, and her emotions took control of her body. She reacted without thinking,turning back into ber human form and jumping into Yuichi's arms,pressing her lips against his. It was gentle,and sweet, a kiss only a princess could give, but it was easy to tell their was passion and feelings behind it,whether Akira herself knew this yet or not.He had kissed her, why not repay the gesture. She,once again, melted into his arms,praying he'd kiss her back. She would soon come to realize the mistake she'd made. Everyone had seen, sure they had seen them holding hands before, but this was different. She had kissed him,they had kissed, not once, but twice today.Word would spread even quicker,and no doubt get back to Trevor, the butler, while he was out running errands, or when he came to pick her up in about 15 minutes or so.

Yuichi didn't really know what was happening. One second he had fired one of his best shots, which wasn't a surprise. And the next second he was holding the girl in his arms and being kissed without any warning. This was the type of things he'd never experienced while growing up, and had assumed the girl hadn't either but by the amount of kissing that had happened in one day was questioning that. But for Yuichi it didn't matter, neither did the stares, nor the gasps of a few people around them, he would have just liked a warning. And preferably he wouldn't have liked to be touched at all but it was hard to not kiss the girl back when she seemed to be so.. passionate about it.

Normally he would have probably dropped the person trying to kiss him and probably ran away and ignored them but in the heat of the moment he didn't really have time to think about it. But once his mind caught up with his lips he suddenly dropped the girl, although she didn't have far to fall. With his hand upon his lips and a blush on his face he decided the best option was to run away while he could, and so he did just that as the bell conveniently rang.


((sorry i had to XD))

[Poppycorn222]

The girl was surprised he had kissed back,even if it had been for a mere second. When she was dropped,she landed with a thud on the ground,letting out a small yelp. This was not what she had exactly expected to happen,and seeing Yuichi run off like that made tears well up in her blue eyes. She carefully stood up,not even bothering to dust herself off as she raced after him,abandoning the white sandals {which had a slight heel} she had chosen to wear today as they hindered her running ability. She didn't hear the bell ring, her mind focused on keeping up with her partner. It was difficult for the weapon,as she never really ran, it wasn't very ladylike according to her mother and the maids around her house,so the most she did was walk at a brisk pace. In her attempt to catch up with Yuichi,her tiara snagged on a tree branch,falling to the ground with a soft clatter. She ignored it,her breathing heavy,much like a dog when it panted. She was so focused on Yuichi,and figuring out a way to apologize,or explain her actions, that she didn't realize her dress also had a few tears in it, and smudges of grass stains and dirt. Akira lost sight of Yuichi,biting her lip as she skidded to a halt.The girl glanced around,but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't seem to figure out where he had gone.

With a heavy sigh,she resigned herself to head back to the school, barefoot, missing tiara and all.When she made it inside the school,a few of the girls whom she had became friends with - or more,she knew who they were - with over the years came up to her,asking questions about why she looked so disheveled. She dismissed them with a wave of her hand,ducking her head to avoid having to speak anymore. She exited the DWMA, spotting her car,she quickly climbed in the back seat,staring out the window and avoiding Trevor's gaze. He sensed something was wrong,so in an attempt to make the girl feel better,he spoke up."Did you find a partner Miss Akira?" He asked softly,pulling the car out of the circle drive and beginning the short drive to the cottage. "Yes." Was all the princess said,tears softly making their way down her cheeks. She had screwed up,and she knew it. The rest of the drive was silent,and when they arrived at the cottage, Akira got out of the car and went to the back,sitting down on the porch swing,wallowing in her own self pity.

[XLOVEr]

Yuichi let his feet lead him all the way home, it's somewhere safe and quiet he could relax and pretend that the last few minuets of school never happened. And that's what he'd do, he'd probably have another night like last night and lay on the floor all night long like usual. He didn't want to deal with what just happened, he had let himself get too carried away with that girl. He'd only known her for a day so far, not really even that. He knew her for about six hours maybe? And yet he'd already kissed the girl, twice. Once to get people to back off and another for when she turned into her human form and kissed him without permission. He had two problems with this scenario. 1, he didn't like being touched by anyone. 2, his mother was definitely going to find out sooner or later about what he'd been doing on his first day of school.

Without realizing it he'd made it to his aunt's house. He expected her to be home but what he didn't expect was the frown that was settled upon her face. It made her appear to be older than she actually was, which wasn't too much older than his mother. She had her hand upon her hip and her hair was messy. She raised a brow at him as he entered the house, he was a little winded which shouldn't be surprising at this point. "So I've heard a few things about you from your school," she said crossing her arms, she was starting off small but he knew this would somehow turn into a long speech about something. He jut hoped she hadn't heard about what was doing at school with a certain someone. "Now I can't be too mad at you see as how you've technically made a friend. But you should know that fighting others at school isn't allowed here, nor is it anywhere else so don't go picking fights and yes I know the situation so I guess you're not in the wrong. But I also heard that you ran all the way home? That's not a good idea and by the looks of it you're going to need to take a very long nap sooner or later, you look like a zombie jeez.." She mumbled the last part as she went back to cleaning the living room, "Also don't forget to clean your room."

[Poppycorn222]

Akira gently swung back and fourth in the porch swing,her thoughts swirling inside her head. She didn't even pay attention to the time,her mind so.focused on the stupid things she had done that day. She was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice Trevor come out of the cottage. He stood silently by her, letting her wallow for a few more minutes before clearing his throat."Miss Akira, I've just gotten word of what happened at your school today. I'm sorry about the predicaments you've been in, but that is no reason to sit out here and wallow in self pity. This is your chance to learn from your mistakes." he said,and the young princess shot him a look,not saying anything in response. She let out a heavy sigh,giving him a tired look. Akira headed back inside, changing her clothes. She threw the torn dress to the side, changing into a white track suit. She slipped on a pair of tennis shoes and left once more,wandering the grounds around the cottage.

She didn't know what to do with herself, she didn't want to think about what she had done today.
The girl had gotten a little ways away from the cottage when once again she was interupted,this time by a maid who looled frantic. "Lady Winterbourne! There you are we were all worried sick!" the maid said,walking up to her and giving a slight bow."We've got a message from your parents, they're sending someone to train under Trevor. So be prepared for that" the maid explained,causing Akira's eyes to widen. She just nodded her head,dismissing the maid. Now things wereeven more confusing. Why would her parents think someone else needed to come here? She assumed they had heard the news and just wanted an extra pair of eyes on her.

Now inside his room Yuichi did the one thing he knew he could do at the moment; clean. His room had been made a mess of by his attempts at sleep the night before. He knew for a fact that tonight would also be one of those night again, he'd probably watch too much tv, listen to YouTube livestreams all night or something like that, or just read manga until he'd pass out and wake up an hour later to read more manga and rinse and repeat. This was like some sort of rebellion against his mother, well as small as it was he was doing a good job at it. This little habit of his (not sleeping) was something that drove his mother nuts, she'd drone on and on about how he should take more care of himself- for the family name. This was just his little slice of heaven, his room, the one place everyone had agreed to stay out of. He'd at least have somewhere to relax rather than be put to the test like he was back at home. His parent's demand on his performance as a meister was almost too much for him sometimes, although no matter what he'd do it for them. After his mother was his mother, he couldn't really say no to her, and when he succeeded in something it actually felt as if his mother was just being hard on him for his own good but he knew better than that. His mother was ambitious, just like her mother before her, maybe that was her reasoning. If he had a child wouldn't he want him to be the best? Yes but not quite as much a his mother did, he knew there must be a line drawn unlike his mother.

He looked around at his still mostly messy room and deiced that the best course of action for this mess was to first throw away all the candy he had, he didn't need it nor did he actually want it. He normally only kept it around because he needed it for when he had trouble sleeping and needed to get through the day but he no longer had the motivation to even stay awake during morning hours. He threw away all candy he could find, and random trash that was laying about. Then he got to the manga, he just made three stacks and left it at that, he'd need them later. Then he put all the dirty clothes into the laundry and finally laid on the floor just as he had done earlier in the morning. He turned on the tv but was actually on his phone for what seemed like forever just scrolling.

[Poppycorn222]

Akira woke up the next morning in a daze. She had had a fitful night of sleep,waking up every hour or so. The girl slowly got out of bed,and put her white track suit on,not even bothering to wear one of the other outfits her mother had approved. This one definitely wasn't one she approved but the princess really didn't care. She slipped on ber white sneakers,grabbed her bag and left the house. She ignored Trevor as he tried to drive her to school,opting to walk instead. It took her a solid 20 minutes to walk there but it was worth it. She didnt have to hear anyone talk to her or fake kindness. She was alone with her own thoughts, something she rarely had time for. She took a deep breath as sbe reached the steps,readying herself for the climb up. Once she was about halfway up the steps however, she noticed students watching her and snickering. Akira immediately wanted to curl up into a ball and hide. She knew what this was about. Word had gotten around, people knew how stupid she was, how she had kissed a boy she had only
met hours earlier.

Akira trudged the rest of the way up the steps,avoiding everyones gazes. She even skipped outnon mingling in the hallway. The girl went straight to Sid's class and took her seat,laying her head on the table she stared at the empty chalkboard,forcing herself not to cry. Not to make another scene. She was a princess, and princesses did not make scenes. They were ladylike, and proper. They never cried in public. Or at least, thats what her mother had always said to her. The blonde kinda zoned out,her mind blank of any thoughts.

Mino stood there silently watching the blonde who was sitting at the desk, seemingly either extremely bored or depressed. He couldn't really tell which one she was feeling. He had been waiting for Haru to get here but had wondered off and to his class to just keep himself from being lonely without the other boy. He felt bad watching the girl sulk, and decided that now was the best time, while she was alone and there wasn't anyone else around. He had no malicious intentions he just knew how it felt to be alone and sulking, he'd been like that before coming here but was now nothing less than a ray of sunshine according to Haru. Making his way quietly to the girl's desk he hesitated for a second before tapping her on the shoulder. "uh, are you okay? I just saw you from the door and thought that maybe you could use some company?" He said with a sweet smile.

{Yuichi}

He wished he didn't have to leave the sweet comfort of his room. It was dark, cozy, and had everything he'd ever need if he didn't have to use the bathroom or eat. He wished he could just lay about in his room all day long without being disrupted by his aunt. His aunt was a much better alternative to his actual mother, he pitied his aunt sometimes though. She was always pinned as the lesser sister, the less successful sister, although to Yuichi she seemed to be the better sister. Although his opinions didn't count in his family, at least not yet. His opinion wouldn't count until he collected 99 kishin souls and 1 witch soul and was sent back home for some 'bigger purpose' his family had.

He dressed for school in the uniform that had been given to him by his aunt, she urged him to hurry up and leave for school but he lagged behind her as she mad her way to her car. She didn't often drive and he'd walk but his aunt wasn't blind and could see the sleep creeping up on Yuichi. His aunt gave him a dirty look, "You could at least try to sleep," she mumbled. He didn't mind his aunt's fretting over his health, she at least cared about him like a son. "I could give you something to help you sleep better," he didn't answer with a yes or no but his silence was enough. Anything she'd give to him would likely come from his mother who also seemed to have the same problem he currently had. Neither him nor his mom found sleep coming easy. He would never take anything his mother would want him to, this was another small act of rebellion.

[Poppycorn222]

Akira

Her eyes flicked up to the boy when he spoke to her. She didn't even bother sitting up for the first couple minutes. She just stared at him,and then it seem to hit her. This boy was speaking to her,and she was being disrespectful, showing behavior that wasn't ladylike, something a princess should never do. She bolted up right,folding her hands in front of her. Akira turned to look at the boy,forcing a smile."I'm quite alright,thank you for your concern though. . ." she trailed off,tears pricking the corners of her eyes. She wasn't alright,and she knew it. This boy was offering her company,something she desperately needed."Some company would be nice though. . If you don't mind."Her voice was shaky,and she seemed like she was going to start crying any second now. She didn't want to, especially not with this boy around, so she tried forcing them back,wiping her eyes. It helped for a while,no more tears came,her gave was just slightly red and her eyes a bit puffy. She took a deep breath and looked at the boy standing next to her once more. She gave him a smile, a more genuine one this time."I'm Akira Winterbourne" the girl thought he probably already knew who she was,but it was polite to introduce herself anyway, especially since he was so graciously offering to keep her company.


Haru

Haru strolled into the school,hands in his pockets and his bag slung over his shoulder. He had a feeling that today would break from his normal routine, and he was right about that. The boy made his way down the large halls,taking a few turns here and there before stopping in front of one of the class rooms and poking his head in. Just the teacher he was looking for. He went inside and quickly spoke to Professor Stein about getting a book he wasn't able to check out from the library yet. Haru was an avid reader and an A+ student, so the professor was usually willing to get him books he couldn't access yet. After thanking him, Haru ducked out of the classroom, making his way back through the winding hallways. It didn't take him long to reach his second destination, his first class of the day. Usually,his boyfriend,and weapon partner, would wait for him outside the classroom door,but today did not seem to be one of their usual days. Mino was no where to be seen in the hallways, which caused concern to spark in Haru. But before be went into full panic mode he checked inside the classroom, seeing his partner talking to a blonde girl. Upon closer inspection that blinde girl was none other than Princess Akira. He blinked a few times as if he wasn't seeing what was going on properly,but nothing changed. Mino was still standing next to the princess, and she seemed a bit upset,but Haru could tell it wasn't with his weapon partner, she was upset over something else. . .it quickly hit him.

He had heard the rumors about her suddenly getting a meister after three years without one. How they had kissed, not once but twice, and showed up to their last class of the day holding hands, which was where the second kiss took place. He recalled hearing that Akira was the one to kiss Yuichi first that second time,while it had been the other way around the first time. But the second time they kissed, Yuichi ran off, away from his weapon partner and away from the gawking crowd,but only after he kissed her back for a few mere seconds. It seemed, to Haru, as if the two barely knew each other,and yet were drawn to each other, one of them embracing that longing to be with the other, while the other didn't even want to admit there was something there. He sighed and leaned against the wall next to the doorway. Mino could handle this,he'd just wait and see what would happen, maybe the princesses meister would show up eventually. . . Haru closed his eyes,one foot against the wall, the other firmly on the ground. His arms were crossed over his chest and he seemed quite content to just stay there for the time being.

"Well I already know who you are, but don't worry I don't really care for social status or anything like that. If you're nice i'll be friends with you and thats that." He said cheerfully. He knew who the girl's partner was and wasn't too surprised at how things were turning out to be. Though he didn't care much for gossip all the rumors about her partner seemed to be true. People would say he was quite the lazy one, which he'd seen with his own eyes but could totally relate to the boy, he'd fall asleep himself if he brought a pillow to school everyday. People had also mentioned that he came from a long and strong line of meisters, he knew how powerful Sid was and some say they could even rival Sid if they really wanted to, and apparently Yuichi was as strong as his mother if not more. Although he didn't expect Akira to know all of this, with her habits she never listened to rumors and probably had no clue of who her partner actually was. "If you want I can probably give you advice, I think I know why you're feeling upset. If i'm not wrong, its about your partner Yuichi?"

{Yuichi}

Too soon the car arrived at the school, he didn't want to be here anymore than he had yesterday but probably even more so today. He was dreading all of his classes, they were not only boring but dragged on for hours even if he did sleep in all of them. He also hoped he wouldn't have to see Akira again but knew wishing for such a thing would get him nowhere. There was no way he'd be able to avoid or ignore his partner whom he was now stuck with. He may not have had such a problem with any other weapon, anyone else would only focused on being partners, not all the romantic stuff that Akira seemed to want. He didn't think like that but since the kiss he couldn't help himself from thinking about it, or her. He didn't want to and would for as long as possible would pretend otherwise. It would be strictly business with this girl from now on- at least he hoped.

He slowly made his way up the steps, purposely going as slow as possible. His aunt frowned from her car, well he couldn't see her but knew she would be. "Seriously do we need to have a talk?" She asked as she rolled down the passenger window. He guessed he could at least ask for advice. Spilling all the beans on what had truly happened the other day his aunt merely nodded her head in thought. "Well I think this girl has a crush on you" That much was obvious. "But obviously your too busy to like someone, you're mother would definitely not approve of it but.. what if she just didn't know? I mean as long as I make sure everything and I mean everything the school needs to let us know goes through me first." She mulled over the thought but Yuichi wasn't having it, "No i don't think you see the problem, I don't want to have a romantic relationship with this girl." He said, frustrated. "We both know that's a lie Yuichi, or else you wouldn't care if she was hurt if you ignored or avoided her. My advice to you is, just keep it a silent relationship. Make her agree to that and I think you'll be fine," was all she said before zooming out away from the school. Her advice did nothing to make him feel better.
