Chapter 1

It's approximately 7:30 in the morning, and a young Latino boy with medium length wavy brown hair who is about 17-18 gets up out of bed and gets ready for school. As he walks down the stars to the kitchen he smells bacon and french toast along with fresh coffee. 

"G'morning '' he says, still half asleep as he enters the kitchen, 

"Good morning Starshine" a boy with an English accent who looks around 19 says. He has long black hair that comes to the middle of his shoulder blades with indigo ends. As he looks up his Hazel eyes meet the Latino boy's dark brown ones and he sees that on the other boy's cheeks there is a tint of cyan. 

"Must you call me that Douxie?" he asks. He likes the name because it represents him but he still gets embarrassed because he's not used to it. 

To which the boy named Douxie responds with a laugh and says "Awwww they'll grow on you but I have no intention on stopping Krel." 

Krel just grons and sits next to Douxie with a cup of black coffee with more caffeine than should be allowed. Another boy who looks about 17-18 as well comes out wearing an apron and carrying plates of french toast, eggs, and bacon. "Morning Jim'' Krel says "Wow, that looks and smells amazing." "Jim's cooking is to die for." Douxie responds with a smile and winks at Krel.

There was a knock at the door and a sharp "Owch Toby." "Sorry, sorry... Yo Jimbo you awake?" The boy calls. " Oh Kelb, is it time for school already?" Krel asked as Jim got to the door to reveal a girl who kissed him on the cheek and a boy who walked in and straight to the food. 

"Hi love, hey Tobes, foods over there but you seem to already know that Toby." Jim says, sighing and waving his hand towards the food. 

"Good morning fair lady Chaire, and good morning Toby." Douxie says "Morning teach" The girl named Chaire said. "Mwrning Dowcie" Toby says with a mouth full of food. 

"Oh hey Krel I didn't know you were here too!" Chaire says "Yep, I got lonely without mother around so I'm now here." he responds "Oh your ship?" Toby asks "still can't reboot her?" "Hmmm no not yet Though I am close." "If by close you mean you can't figure this out then yes, yes you are." a black cat with the symbol of a familiar and glasses says. "Oh shut it Archie." the boy snaps.
"Hurry up guys or we will be late for school." Chlaire says a few minutes later "Seklos and Gaylen we need to go." Krel says finishing his food and runs up the stairs. Everyone except for Douxie started to eat their food pretty fast and clean up. "Hey Doux, could you do the dishes before you go to work?" Jim asks "Sure" Douxie responds, flashing a smile at his little brother. Krel comes back down the stairs "Uhhh dude your flashy thingy wore off." Toby says Krel responds "Kelb, thanks and is called a traductor '' He kisses Douxie on the cheek and says goodbye. 

"With that thing on you look so normal I forget that you are an Akiridion Prince." Chlaire says smiling.

By the time everyone is at school the first bell rings letting everyone know that they have 5 minutes before class starts. They say their goodbyes and head off to their classes, Krel walks to his first but second favorite class Computer Science. The teacher comes in and starts the lesson, he sits there for what feels like an eternity when the bell finally rings. He goes to his locker to put his homework away and grab his maths book and heads to class, this is his favorite class out of them all. Next is lunch, Krel, Jim, Chlaire, and Toby (short for Tobais) met up at the tables outside, Steve Palchuk who is a sort of friend to them comes over 

"Hey Buttsnak when is my Butt kicking Nija Warrior coming back?" 

"Oh fuzzbuckets" Jim exclaims 

 "I don't know you blonde oaf she has not contacted me in a while." Krel responds exasperated. Steve sits down sulking about losing his girlfriend Aja Tarron (Krel's older sister and Queen of Akiridon-5).

TIME SKIP:

When school gets out Jim and Krel walk back to Jim's house while Chlaire and Toby each walk to their homes. (Toby lives near Jim but took a different way) When they arrive at Jim's house they are greeted by Archie "Hello, Douxie said he would be home later." "Thank you Arch" Jim said "I'll be in the basement if you need me" Krel tells them and walks to the basement to work on some of his projects. A few hours later Krel has fallen asleep at the desk and is still asleep when Douxie comes in, "Starshine you in here?"

Douxie's POV: 

I walk down to the basement and call for Krel as I get into the basement. 

*Holy fuzzbukets it's cold down here* 

I see Krel asleep at the desk, I walk up to him and put my jacket over him because it feels like a freezer. He stirs a bit but does not wake, 

"Oh my Starshine you're gonna wake up with a sore neck ." I mutter to myself. I call him Starshine because he is from a planet that is about 40,000 light years away, he loves the stars and space, and when he is in his Akiridion form he glows cyan.

I pick him up bridal style and take him to my room, when I get there I put him gently on the bed so I do not wake him. Then I grab some clothes and head to take a shower after a long day of work.

Krel's POV:

I wake up in someone's bed and smell the familiar scent of coffee and old books and see a black cat currled up at my feet. 

*Oh I'm in Douxie's room I wonder how long I've been asleep* 

I start to get out of bed and look out the window, the sun has already set. "Oh hello Starshine." Douxie says as I turn around and see him in black sweats and a white shirt. 

I notice that his tattoos are glowing a bit blue (imagine traditional henna tattoo style.) "Hello Doux, why are your tattoos glowing?" "Oh because they are made from magic and so they will glow whenever my magic is activated." He responds sitting next to me, rapping his arm around my shoulders. I wonder what he is using his magic on but I don't ask, I just lean into him.

Third Person POV: 

It was about 10:30pm and the two boys were laying on Douxie's bed cuddling when Krel's phone went off "it's Aja!!!" Krel says jumping up

'Hello?... What!?!?!? ... Yes, yes ok. ... Wait! By when?... How long? ...Yes, I'll be there as soon as possible. ... I love you too, stay safe Bye!' Krel gets off the phone crying a bit. 

"What's wrong love?" Douxie says walking over to him pulling the blue 4 armed Akiridion into his arms. "A-aja and Akiridon-5 are in t-trouble and I-I....." He was crying into his boyfriend's shoulder.

Douxie runs his hands through Krel's hair whispering words of comfort to him.

"Douxie, I have to go back home." Krel finally speaks when he calms down. 

"When do you need to leave? How will you get there? Will you be okay?...." Douxie started asking a ton of questions to which Krel responded with a sigh and said "Ai ay ay, I need to go ASAP, I will be using my portal device, and yes I will be fine... I hope." He says the last part more to himself. 

Douxie looks at him with concern in his eyes, Krel takes Douxie's hands in his bottom two hands and places his top two hands on his lover's cheeks. "I will be fine Mi Amor just trust me ok??" (Mi amor means my love in Spanish) Krel says in a loving and soothing voice.
