Oshi No Ko : Light And Shadow

Chapter 2: Arts Program and Twins

3rd person POV

Aiko stood near the gate of the school, waiting for the day to begin. His mind wandered as he observed the bustling crowd of students. Suddenly, two figures caught his attention,both shared the same features which are their outstanding blonde hair shinning under the sunlight, but the most intriguing were their aura, like they had the same presence as someone he knew back then.

“Who are these two? They seem intriguing, yet there's an air of mystery surrounding them. Are they fellow students or just passing by?" Aiko thought to himself viewing them few metter away of where the apparently twins were.

However the Boy approached Aiko with a stoic expression, while the Girl wore a bright smile on her face. Aiko greeted them cautiously, uncertain of what to expect.

"Good morning. Are you new here?"Aiko said with a tide of hesitation.

The boy nodded silently before he spoke.
“You could say so but,why were you starring at us earlier ?"

Aiko blinked, slightly caught off guard by the boy's direct question. The blonde boy stared at him, his gaze piercing and demanding an answer.

"Well, to put it simply, you and that Girl which I supposed is your Sister,right ?, caught my attention. There was something intriguing about your presence, something that made me curious. I couldn't help but wonder what kind of people you were."

The boy's expression remained stoic, his eyes fixed on Aiko.

"Curiosity, huh? That's a bold way to describe it. Well, what did you find out?"

Aiko shrugged, a playful smirk forming on his face.

"I guess I'm still figuring that out. But I can tell you this much, Blondie: you and that Girl have a certain aura, a distinctive energy that sets you apart. It's rare to come across individuals who exude such a strong presence" Aiko said trying to convince them that he is not some kind of stalker.

The blonde boy  crossed his arms, his demeanor unyielding.
Aiko stood there, awaiting for Him and the Girl's introduction or something else. The boy, with his cool and distant demeanor, took a step forward, while The Girl's infectious energy practically radiated off her.

"I'm Aquamarine. Aquamarine Hoshino,Aqua is enough. I'm not here to make friends, but if you can keep up, maybe we'll get along and I'm new here"

Aiko nodded, a small smile playing on his lips as he observed Aqua's straightforward approach.

“And this girl beside me is..."

Before Aqua could continue his sentence,he was cut short by the blonde girl.

"Hiya! I'm Ruby Hoshino, the spark of the group! I hope we can have lots of fun together and create something amazing!"

Aiko chuckled, captivated by Ruby's vibrant personality while Aqua rolled his eyes, seemingly unimpressed by Ruby's enthusiasm, "Don't get carried away, Ruby. We're here for a reason, and we need to focus on our goals."

Ruby pouted playfully at Aqua's comment, but her enthusiasm remained undiminished.

"Aww, come on, Onii-chan! Can't we have a little fun along the way?"

Brushing off the question, Aqua decide to walk away of them.
“Hurry up Ruby,or else we'll get late for the interview"

Hurrying her pace, Ruby tried to caught up to her brother letting Aiko behind.

“So my hunch was right,they are obviously twins,quite the surprise...but..."

“...I'm Ruby Hoshino..."
Aiko recalled in his mind how Ruby looked before and what she said.
