A Poisonous Beauty

~Prologue~

It was only supposed to be a simple picture, or at least you thought it was...

The ending of VDC had come quite slowly in your opinion, almost as though it would go on forever when dealing with Vil's overbloting right before. Along with the winning of Royal Sword Academy being a disappointing experience for NRC. Yet, you couldn't quite complain or deny that you actually had some form of fun while going through it.

Especially since it had caused a small friendships for you and Neige. As well as it helping you get to know and understand Vil better. Leading to your current predicament.

All the students had began gathering together to prepare for when it was time to leave. While a few teachers were trying to make sure everyone was counted for as others simply conversed amongst themselves.

You on the other hand had been searching for the braincell duo and Grim. Mainly because they had quickly dissappeared from sight when everyone was being let out of the coliseum. You hadn't yet taken notice of the doe eyed boy who was quickly advancing towards you with his signature smile. That was until he had called out a greeting to you.

You stopped to greet him back to be polite; enen though you couldn't help but still be a bit on edge. Thankfully, he took no notice to your behavior and was simply being his normal, kind self.

"How are you?" Neige suddenly asked, attempting to start a small conversation with you.

You smiled, giving him a quick reply. "Good. What about you?"

"Good as well." His expression then morphed into one of curiosity and a bit hopeful. "But.. I am kind of sad that we have to leave now. So, I was hoping to ask if you wanted to take a picture together to sort of be a remembrance for today."

You quickly nodded as he spoke about taking a picture, not quite processing everything, but you still didn't mind. "Yeah sure. We can do that."

"Wonderful." Neige smiled and fished his phone out of his pocket. Motioning for you to get closer into the shot as he held it up.

You stood quite close to him now as he placed an arm around your shoulder before he took the picture.

Bringing the phone closer to him, he looked over the photo with a smile. "It's perfect. Thank you, (Y/n)."

"Yeah, of course," you replied. That was when a short redhead in a white uniform had quickly ran to get Neige's attention, tugging on his sleeve as soon as he reached him. Who you soon found out was one of Neige's friends; Gran.

Yes Gran?" He had turned to the shorter male curiously as you two questioned if it was time to go now.

"Neige, we have to go." Gran confirmed while Neige merely nodded, his smile never leaving his face as he looked back at you.

I suppose.. this is goodbye, for now then. Thank you again."

"Right, Goodbye." You waved as the two left you alone to finally go back to searching for your other friends.

Who could have known a picture with an almost new friend would prove to be such a bad idea.
