Hajime was walking in the cafeteria hall, walking in the section designated for elite students as he was walking a bunch of students from the elite division and the standard division surrounded him and bombarded him with questions, he started to feel stress and his arms froze up and his tray fell, the students around him were all shocked, they had seemingly forgotten his arms were mechanical, just as Hajime was about to scream, someone put their arms around him and ushered him to a table, while others held the crowd back, the girl was none other than Kajikari Kyoto.
"Hey, you okay? you looked you were about to lose your shit"
"sort of, just felt stressed, my arms froze up" Hajime kept his head down, not looking the girl in her
"want me to help?"
Hajime quickly shook his head and tried desperately to reset his arms by himself, the crowd had dispersed by this time and the others were all looking at Hajime, Hajime quickly glanced up before putting his head back down, just enough time to take in the details, Kajikari about five feet and 5 inches tall, she had pink hair that stopped at her shoulders and violet eyes, the others that had come to his aid were Hannah Von Stricken, Klaus Williamson and Lewis Katamaru, Hannah was about five feet and 4 inches tall, long white hair and yellow eyes, Klaus was five feet and six inches tall, he had long blond hair and blue eyes and Lewis was about six feet and three inches tall he had short black hair and green eyes.
"why won't he look at us?" Hannah asked with a concerned expression on her face
"I think it's because he was of lower status before he was adopted, maybe his first instinct is to lower his head when talking to high ranking nobles"
"That would be a problem considering that he is the prince"
"Maybe someone should do something to help him"
Kajikari, walked back over to Hajime and hugged him "hey idiot, you're the prince, you're a higher rank, no need to lower your head and none of us are here to cause you any trouble"
Hajime slowly looked up at the group and for the first time they got a decent look at him, they saw his pitch black hair with stopped by his shoulder, slightly covering his face a bit and his piercing, bright red eyes
"Heh he's kinda hot," Hannah said with a slight laugh
"No argument from me," Klaus said as he poked Hajime
Lewis smacked the back of Klaus's head "dude, he's a guy too"
"yeah and I'm gay, idiot," Klaus said
"ohh right" Lewis apologized for smacking him
"Hannah let's compete for his affection," Klaus said jokingly
Hannah laughed and put the boy into a headlock "you perverted boy" she said smiling
Kajikari looked at Hajime and noticed that he was stifling a laugh, she followed his eyes to the group of friends and fell back laughing with him as neither could contain themselves anymore, the other three, stopped and looked at the two of them and started laughing too
"you guys are great," Hajime said as he looked at everyone
They all focused their eyes on his arms and Klaus raised his hand "ooo can I help you fix it?"
"no let me, Klaus is a pervert he just wants an excuse to touch you," Hannah said as she walked in front Klaus
"If you'd like I can help you," Lewis said "cause these clowns might just make t worse"
Hajime looked at everyone and smiled slightly before she opened his mouth "K-Kajikari please help me"
"ohh since when are you so shy?" Lewis asked "you didn't seem that way when you entered the class earlier and I heard you practically put that noble in his place yesterday"
"I-it's because you guys are nice to me"
"what? why?" Hannah asked with an eyebrow raised
"I never had friends, I don't know how to react so I'm shy, I don't want to scare you away," Hajime said as he closed his eyes and lowered his head
Kajikari sat next to him and smiled "listen, you can be yourself, I mean look at us, we're so different from each other and yet-"
"we're such amazing friends" Hannah finished
"and we'll be friends forever," Klaus said
"well unless one of us turns evil" Lewis retorted
"Must you always be so pessimistic?"
"yeah Lewis, lighten up and put a smile on that cute face"
Hajime laughed and smiled "you guys are great"
everyone cleared out and left Kajikari to fix Hajime's arms
Kajikari rest Hajime's palm over hers and held his hand as she kept his arm bent at a ninety-degree angle and started working on the mechanisms in his arm
"How's that? better?"
Hajime tried to move his arms and smiled "it's excellent" he replied with a smile, she ran her thumb over the back of his hand then across is palm
"you can't feel this, can you?"
"No, I have no feeling in these mechanical arms"
"but you can feel this right," she said as she put her hand on his cheek
"it's warm and soft"
"good now hold that thought in your head and imagine it as I hold your hand"
Hajime did as instructed and smiled "I feel it"
"you may not be able to actually feel things but this should make life easier for you"
Hajime smiled brightly "you and your friends are pretty cool"
"yeah they are but now, they are your friends too, Hajime, would you like to join our team? The professor formed our team for some training using for more advanced spells, we're like an experiment, checking to see if students can fiar good in real combat, we could use a fighter like you" she paused "you'd be moved into our dorm room as soon as possible and have a customized room for you and your familiar"
"you had me as soon as you asked me to join, we have a deal"
"yay! we finally have enough members" she jumped up, grabbed Hajime's hand and led him to the team dorm "here we are, it seems that everyone is asleep, you go get settled into your new room, we had your stuff teleported in, I'm going to sleep, good night"
Hajime did not even get a chance to respond, instead, he went into his room and His familiar popped out
"I thought we'd never get time alone" Carmilla appeared in Hajime's lap and kissed him
Hajime was taken back but did not reject the kiss
"what was that fore Carmilla?"
"you're my new master, I'm a pervert, I think that says everything you need to know, you feel it right? that's the bond between master and familiar"
"I do in a way"
"Come on you're stuck with me for life and now that I've been awakened there no vanishing into your body, I'm just here, might as well make the most of it"
Hajime walked behind Carmilla, he placed, a soft, sweet yet seductive kiss on the sweet spot of her neck, his hands slowly and softly gliding down her arms before they wrapped around her and held her in a warm embrace, making her knees get weak as she melted and her heart raced a million miles an hour. then they spent the rest of the night embraced in each other's arms as they made love to each other
