"You are the one in our Vermillion"

Chapter #2: Snacks

Hello everyone!! I'm back with a new update and a shit ton of ideas to write, so let's begin! 

_

*With Doppio at the D_D Arcade:* 

The Duke of Disipline stared at the flashing neon lights of his arcade, silently before falling into the ballpit in front of him.

He can't believe it. Ver ... And Hex? He knew he should have been more awared when Ver and Hex started spending more time together outside of the student council.

So much for taking chances today. No way will the Soul Prophet say yes. Ver's happy with the Counselor and that should be a good thing ... Right?

As long as Ver's happy but ... Why was there a pain in his chest? It hurts, and it hurts so bad ...

The loud music was drowning the muffled sobs. The aching pain in his chest, why couldn't he shake it off?

Whilst being lost in thoughts, he suddenly heard a muffled voice. On instinct, Doppio turned around, landing a punch on the man behind him.

"Ah-! I apologise for startling you Pio ..." The gentle voice said as a Doppio stared in horror. "Kaichou-?!" He asked in shock as Ver gave a small smile.

"Just wanted to stop by and check up on you. Sorry if I had startled you, Pio." Ver said ass Doppio ran towards the other male who was frantically apologising.

"Kaichou, I'm fine. But are you okay-?" Doppio asked, grazing his figure over the bruise where he had inflicted the pain. "Yes, yes I'm fine." Ver protested, even though he was clearly flinching at the contact.

The Violet haired man panicked. Trying to come up with a solution on the spit, he quickly hoisted the man on to his back as they walked towards one of the back doors in the Arcade.

" Pio, where are we going?" Ver asked, confusion in his voice as Doppio opened the door. "Patching up your wounds, Kaichou." Doppio responded.

After a trip of uncomfortable silence, they had finally arrived at one of the backrooms (Author's Note: No. Not the one you're thinking about. NO HORROR INVOLVED.). Doppio sat Ver on one of the couches as he rummaged through the shelves to find a first aid kit.

"So, why did you come here in the first place? It's school hours now right-?" Doppio asked, slightly curious on what could be so urgent that the Soul Prophet made a trip to his Arcade.

"Like I said Pio, I was worried about you and just wanted to see if you're okay." Ver started, his feet dangling from the chair.

"I also may or may have not brought you some snacks while coming on the way." Ver sheepishly said, as a bag of chips seem to appear put of nowhere and into the President's hand.

Doppio turned around for a brief moment after finding some plasters and disinfectants.

There it was again, the smile that just made his heart melt. Doppio was not one to be easily surprised, despite his reckless behaviour, he was one of the few people who had backup plans ... For backup plans. And yet somehow he could never predict Ver's actions.

"Pio? You're staring off into space again." Ver asked, a playful yet in a  slightly teasing tone. Doppio immediately snapped back to the current moment at the heavenly voice.

"Sorry, and thank you Kaichou!" Doppio quickly muttered out, grabbing onto the snacks as he glanced at the brand.

"You remembered my favourite kind!" Doppio smiled fondly as he stared at the familiar brand label. The Soul Prophet only let out a small smile.

"It's hard not to when you bring it to meetings every week." Ver added, quietly chuckling to himself at the thought.

Another thing Doppio loved about the President of the Student Council. He always pays attention to small details. God blessed his life with an angel.

"Now, I know you insist that you are fine but, what's wrong. I know some thing's up Pio." The seriousness of the tone made Doppio question if he was talking to the same person minutes before.

One minute he's laughing, the other he looks like an overprotective dad. Mood swings work in fascinating ways.

" Nothing. Don't worry about me Kaichou." Doppio smiled. The other was obviously not satisfied with that answer as he kept staring at Doppio, waiting to see what his answer would be.

Doppio chuckled before letting out a sigh, "You sure you want to know?" The Duke of Disipline asked, the other just nodded his head.

"Of course, I mean, unless it's personal issues then you don't have to. I don't want to make you uncomfortable." The Soul Prophet said, eyes not facing the other in embarrassment.

"No- No- It's not that. Just.." Doppio stuttered out, trying his best to form the best way to ask Ver about his feelings.

"How do I tell someone I like them?"

So, as our usual. Teasers for the next chapter!!

The Soul Prophet let out an awkward laugh as he stared at the other in confusion. "That's an unusual question Pio, why'd you ask? Who's the lucky girl?"
