Today was the day that Tatsuya and Minyul would premier their new looks by the fashion and design club and Tatsuya was nervous. He was nervous because he was scared about what other people would think about him. That morning, the two went to school early so they could go over to the fashion and design club to get their clothes. Tatsuya was given black converse with black ripped jeans and a black, red, and white color block hoodie. On his head, he wore a black hat with a red lip. This brought out the masculine yet youthful side of Tatsuya and complimented his lean and small figure. Minyul was given light blue jeans with white shoes and a light blue, purple, and yellow color block hoodie. These outfits were to promote the design club's hoodie collection.
The two exited the classroom and all eyes were immediately on them. The once loud and lively hallway turned silent, but was soon filled with blushed cheeks and whispers.
"Minyul looks so handsome," one girl whispered to her friend, "but who is the rebel looking one next to him?"
"I don't know, but they both look stunning."
The girl asked some people next to her, "Does anyone know who the rebel one is?"
Everyone shook their head. Everyone wondered who this charming child was. Eventually a girl walked up to Tatsuya and asked with bright red cheeks, "Um, are you a new student here?"
"No I've been a student here since freshmen year."
Everyone, including the girl froze. They all thought 'How could someone like him be overlooked!?'
The girl, frazzled asked, "W-what!? What's your name then?"
"Tatsuya"
That one word made the whole hallway go silent again. Tatsuya was known as an introvert everyone paid no attention to, but the person they were looking at did not reflect that description. In fact, the person standing in front of them seemed to be the kind of person who could be a young model.
Everyone in the hallway was bewildered and confused and it once again turned silent. Luckily the school bell rang and sent everyone to class which saved them from another minute of awkwardness.
Tatsuya and Minyul casually walked to their classroom. Most of the other students were already in their seats either talking to their friends or doing some last minute homework. Once the two entered, the room went deathly silent. Everyone watched as Minyul and Tatsuya walked over to their table and sat down. A moment later, the teacher walked in with dress pants and a button up t-shirt and a suitcase in hand. The man was new and fairly young with a youthful but mature face. He went to take role and he called the students names with some mispronounciation until he finally got to Tatsuya's name.
"Tatsuya." the teacher called.
"Here." Tatsuya replied while raising his hand.
Everyone stared at the beauty who claimed to be Tatsuya, but there was no mistake. The soft and sharp voice was definitely Tatsuya's.
After role, class went on as usual, but when recess came, it instantly became hell. Once the bell rang, the girls in their class all swarmed Tatsuya while simultaneously pushing Minyul away. They all bombarded Tatsuya with many questions.
"Who did your hair?"
"Why did your style change?"
"Do you have a crush on someone?"
"I bet it's Minyul."
They all squealed at the thought. Tatsuya tried to get out of their circle, but had no luck. Even Minyul couldn't break throught their barrier to get to him. Tatsuya said internally, 'I just want to get out of here, is that to much to ask!?' Once again, Tatsuya activated his powers without even knowing it. Though this time, Minyul was able to witness Tatsuya's power. His eyes turned into a bright yellow shade, then everyone froze except for Minyul. He then climbed his way out of all the girls and he and Minyul ran out of the building to their secret spot.
Once Tatsuya calmed down, time flowed again.
The girls who were still in the classroom saw that Tatsuya and Minyul were no where to be found.
At their special spot, Tatsuya and Minyul were both out of breath from the sudden running and both were bent over with their hands on their knees, panting for air. Tatsuya's eyes changed back to their normal color, then time flowed properly. Minyul was shocked that Tatsuya had activated that power. He asked, "What was that?"
"I have no clue, all I remember was that I was wanting to leave and get out of there then everyone froze and now I'm here."
"Has this happened before?"
Tatsuya stared at the ground, then nervously replied, "Yes."
"What!? When!?" Minyul exclaimed while grabbing Tatsuya's shoulders, forcing Tatsuya to look at him.
Tatsuya didn't want to tell Minyul because if he knew and made a scene about it, the bullying would still persist since Minyul couldn't protect him if he wasn't able to be there.
Tatsuya's eyes began to water while he was looking at Minyul. He wrapped his arms around Minyul and barried his face in his chest. Tatsuya didn't know when he became weak and soft. He just knew that when he was with Minyul, he couldn't keep up his thick barrier that separated him from other people. That barrier became weak or even broke when it came to Minyul and he couldn't hide his real emotions. Tatsuya wept in Minyul's embrace.
Minyul was startled by Tatsuya's sudden action and was frozen for a second. He then gently wrapped his arms around Tatsuya's small back and placed one of his hands on the back of Tatsuya's head. He stroked his soft and fine hair hoping that it would calm Tatsuya down. This went on for many minutes until finally Tatsuya had stopped crying and was calm. They broke away, but as soon as Minyul saw Tatsuya's red and puffy face, his heart swelled. He bent down and used his sleeve to wipe Tatsuya's watery eyes. The sat on the grassy floor and Minyul held Tatsuya in his arms for the rest of recess. When the bell rang, Tatsuya face which was once red and puffy, was almost back to normal. They walked back into the school building and went on with the rest of their day.
They walked back home and collapsed on the couch together as soon as they got home. After an hour of resting and doing their homework, Minyul was curious as to how many different powers Tatsuya had.
The two sat on the floor across from each other, then Minyul muttered a few words in his native tounge. A misty yellow light circled Tatsuya which sent him into a trance. Tatsuya opened his eyes, but he wasn't conscious. His eyes showed one by one how many colors there was which was Tatsuya's way of conveying his power. Minyul looked deep into his eyes and saw all the different colors Tatsuya had. Blood red, pale white, silver, bright yellow, a misty lime green, gold, a dark intimidating blue, and a soft light purple. This meant that with Tatsuya's four unique abilities, he also had eight others. This both surprised and intimidated Minyul. Before, he had only seen someone with seven powers and even that man was extremely intimidating.
'He just gets stronger and stronger.' Minyul thought while still staring at Tatsuya's shifting eyes. The spell dispersed and he immediately collapsed. Minyul bent down and gently picked up Tatsuya. He then walked over to the bed and layed down with Tatsuya still in his embrace. The two slept together for the whole night, but Tatsuya didn't know what awaited him in the land of dreams.
