Chapter 14 - Kings

After a good nights rest, Tatsuya and Minyul got ready and walked to school. With Minyul's new clothes, even more eyes were on them as they walked into the building.

Normally when they enter, it takes a few moments for people to start looking and staring. Also, only about half of the people inside actually stop to stare, but this time it was different. This time everyone stared. Some with admiration, some with interest, and some with envy.

Tatsuya felt a bit awkward with everyone staring in his direction. Even if they weren't even looking at him, he still felt extremely awkward and embarrassed.

They made their way through the barrage of teenagers to class. They sat in their seats only to be confronted by two strangers.

"Hi! My name is Naomi, this is Harmini and we have question for you." Naomi said enthusiastically.

"H-hi Naomi, Harmini, so what is it?" Tatsuya asked still started from the sudden greeting.

"Well we wanted to ask you to be our models for a class." Harmini said.

"W-What models!?"

"Yes, models. We need models for our fashion and design class and we thought since you two have been pretty popular lately, we picked you two to become our candidates. Please say yes." Naomi pleaded.

"Maybe we should consider it. It seems fun and it would be a good opportunity to get to know other people." Minyul suggested.

"Ok so what do we get out of it?" Tatsuya asked.

"Well, you get free food and drinks and you get to skip class." Harmini said.

After a moment of consideration Tatsuya said, "Ok we'll do it, but on one condition. We get to keep the clothing you make us model."

After thinking for a bit, Naomi exclaimed, "That can be arranged! Great you two are gonna be this years winter kings!"

"Wait what, kings?!" Tatsuya said startled.

"Yes kings. This year, because LGBT are being more out and expressive, it was agreed that this year would feature LGBT couples. You are able to nominate anyone as long as it is an LGBT couple." Harmini explained.

"So we are considered an LGBT couple?" Tatsuya asked while gesturing to himself and Minyul.

"Yes haven't you heard the rumors and your ship name?" Naomi questioned.

"No! What ship name?!" Tatsuya exclaimed.

"Your ship name is Mita or Tami. The first two letters of both your names put together, but Mita is way more trendy than Tami." Harmini explained.

"W-what says who?" Tatsuya said with a flushed face.

"Many people, especially the members of the LGBT club." Harmini continued.

"Which we are apart of and that's how we heard of you two. One is adorable, introverted and edgy, while the other is a ruggedly handsome extrovert. Once we heard about it, we knew you guys would be perfect candidates." Naomi said in a happy tone.

While they were having their conversation, Minyul was still frozen from when he heard that him and Tatsuya would be winter kings.

'Me and him, together, in front of a lot of people and as a couple.' Minyul thought.

"Um is he ok?" Harmini asked while pointing to Minyul.

Tatsuya looked beside him to see Minyul in a daze and who looked deep in thought. Tatsuya put his hand on Minyul's shoulder and shook him and asked, "Are you okay?"

Minyul snapped out of his thoughts and replied, "Y-yeah I'm fine."

"Okay so just fill out these flyers and meet up with us in room 112 and we'll go from there," Naomi said while handing them the flyers, "and remember that the password is purple sapphire. See you guys later."

Then, the two walked out of the classroom waving goodbye.

"So we need to go to room 112 after school and give them these forms by tomorrow and on the flyer it says that we will be participating in an event that will model clothes for the fashion design club and to encourage LGBT members to be more open about themselves. We must model three outfits individually and three outfits together. We must also complete several photo shots which will be posted on multiple social media platforms and in magazines to promote the event." Tatsuya said with a wide eyed expression.

"Okay so how long is it?" Minyul asked while reading over Tatsuya's shoulder.

"It's from 3:00pm to 5:00pm."

The school bell rang and class began. After a long and boring class, it was time for recess. The two walked over to there special spot and listened and sang to music. The bell rang and they finished up their two classes then went down to eat lunch.

Tatsuya still wasn't used to eating lunch since he never did before Minyul came along. They went down to lunch, but even though most bullies were scared off by Minyul, but some where brave and still dared to challenge him.

"Huh, look at this. Tatsuya has a body guard and now he thinks he's aloud to just walk into here. What Tatsuya, you now have someone to protect you and be your 'friend' so you have some confidence? Even if you have him, you are and forever will be a loser."

"Don't. You dare. Talk to him, like that." Minyul stared challenging the bully to say more with his piercing eyes.

The bully saw Minyul's hostility and said, "S-sorry man, it won't happen again." then ran off.

After receiving the many stares from people they were off. Tatsuya saw many things in the people eyes. He saw disgust, envy, admiration, shock and much more complex expressions.

They ate lunch in their usual spot and were off to their next class.

There was one class that Tatsuya absolutely hated and that was his fifth period. Different people had different classes. Tatsuya was put into an art class while Minyul was placed into a music class. So, they were separated and that is when the bullies would strike.

A group of teenagers gathered around him and one bully leaned on Tatsuya's shoulder and said, "Hey Tatsuya, how's it going? You don't have your body guard and we all know that you aren't that confident in yourself. Haha."

They all laughed at Tatsuya who didn't say a word and seemed as apathetic as ever, but little did they know Tatsuya's true emotion. Tatsuya felt an overwhelming anger, disgust and annoyance. The next thing you know he activated his powers without even knowing it, but this was different. Since he is able to control them now, he didn't black out, but the power he used was different.

The bullies all laughed and screamed many insults at Tatsuya, then all of a sudden, they all heard a slight ringing in their ears which gradually turned into a deafening sound. It was so loud in their ears that they all covered their ears wile holding their heads and groaning in pain. The groaning turned to screaming and they all collapsed onto the floor. Tatauya's eyes had changed from his usual dark brown color to a now bright red shade.

The bullies all screamed in pain as it felt like someone was continuously pounding on the sides if their head. Eventually they all blacked out from the pain in a circle around Tatsuya.

After a moment, Tatsuya's eyes had changed back and he noticed that everyone else in the class was staring at him. Most were scared while others were happy that the bullies finally got the karma they deserved. Tatsuya's eyes flashed to a pale white color and everyone forgot about the incident and most thought that it was a freak accident that caused the boys to collapse.

Tatsuya breathed a sigh of relief when he realised that his powers came through to help him out, but he still worried because those powers were never something he practiced or even thought he had. Though he was still happy that he was able to make everyone forget that incident.

After class, Tatsuya and Minyil met up but Tatsuya's class since it was near room 112, then walked over to the club.
