A Purrfect Match!~

Chapter 1 - "Everybody Talks." [👾]

Floyd had already introduced Jade to Riddle a while back, perhaps a few months or so at this point, so obviously Jade knew about them being together. Riddle thought since Floyd had introduced him to his brother, why not let him and his brother meet his childhood friend, Che'nya? After all, Che'nya wasn't THAT bad.. He just was a little.. silly.

And today, coincidentally being a meetup between RSA and NRC, was the perfect time to do it.

"Goldfishie!~" Floyd ran up to Riddle, Jade following behind him. He hugged Riddle tightly from behind, pressing himself against his back. "Hello there, Riddle." Jade smiled, giving a slight wave of his hand.

"1. Hello, Jade. 2. Didn't I tell you not to call me that, Floyd? Whatever.. The RSA students will be coming to visit us today, very soon actually. Don't make a fool of yourself in front of them." Riddle reminded him, turning around and slightly hugging Floyd for merely a moment before quickly letting go, his eyes immediately darting away from him to look over and see Crowley talking to Ambrose, the headmage of RSA.

Together the two of them were getting ready to start the usual long, tiring speech about the two schools. Everyone, of course, hated Crowley and his long and boring speeches. Literally, everyone. Even the RSA kids!

If you looked real close at some of the trees clumped between the crowds of students who'd been forced to come outside for the introduction of RSA, you could see where a certain pair of brothers, both with bright blue hair that seemed to flow and flicker like fire, were hiding under one of the taller trees for shade from the sun, yet seemed to be bickering about that very topic.

"Come on now, brother!! Azul Ashengrotto is waiting for us, Sebek Zigvolt as well. We mustn't keep them waiting, you know how Azul gets when we're late.. And you wouldn't make me miss a chance to 'hang out' with Sebek, would you?" Ortho said, talking to Idia who was standing under a tree, trying to avoid the blinding light of the afternoon sun.

It was a particularly hot day out today, about 95 or so degrees. Ortho had checked the weather and he had remembered that it was supposed to be hot. Idia looked up at his brother, he didn't want to disappoint him, but neither did he want himself to wilt like a dead flower in the heat..

He sighed. "Fine, I'll go for you and Sebek. Not for Azul. He beat me in chess last time we were in club together and now I'm holding a grudge against him." Idia grumbled before he shook his head, his eyes almost immediately locking eyes with the very person he was speaking of, Azul.

Azul was pretty far away but you could still see him when he was looking in your direction. A green haired boy stood next to him, Sebek Zigvolt. A 1st year that Ortho seemed to be quite attached to for some odd reason. Azul walked over to them as Sebek followed.

"Idia! Ortho! My favorite pair of siblings aside from the twins. How are you two today? It's quite hot out, no?" He said as he pushed his glasses back up onto his face, the pair having slid down his face as he approached.

Idia scoffed as he crossed his arms, looking slightly down at Azul. "No duh, it's like 100 some odd degrees out here! I feel like I'm melting!!" He looked to the side to see Sebek and Ortho rambling on about their dorms and how it's like for each of them, apparently the main quartet of Diasomnia, minus Sebek somehow, had been having some misunderstandings about each other lately..

"Getting smart are we?~ Well I'll have you know it's exactly 94.5 degrees out right now, If you must know, you're just exaggerating. But still, you are right it is rather hot outside.." As he spoke he took his hat right off of his head and started fanning himself.

Idia looked at him, practically melting from the heat. "Listen to who's the smartass now.." he muttered, rolling his eyes.

"What was that?" Azul asked, annoyed. He raised an eyebrow and stepped a little closer to him, a slight smirk forming across his face as he crossed his arms, inches away from the blue flame-haired boy.

"N-nothing, don't worry about it.." the ends of his bright hair started to tinge with a pastel pink tint as his eyes darted in every direction but at the boy in front of him, he tried to back away but Azul caught his arm.

"Hey.. can you two not flirt while we're here? Did you just forget we exist??" Ortho asked, narrowing his eyes as he looked between Idia and Azul before turning back towards Sebek, placing a handmade flower crown on his head. Where did they even get the flowers? Who knows at this point.

"Ah! Sorry about that, Ortho. Please excuse my untoward behavior towards your dear older brother.." Azul let go of Idia's arm, backing away from him slowly. "And Sebek.. don't tell Floyd or Jade about that." He said, pushing his glasses back on his face again. "You got it, Housewarden Ashengrotto!" Sebek said, his voice somewhat louder than normal, putting his hands on his hips and standing tall, always happy to fulfill an order from someone he respects.

"Hey 'zul, I might just have to buy you a new pair of glasses cuz everytime I look at you, you're pushing them back up on your face." Idia laughed as his hair turned back to its normal color, still a bit of pink stayed at some parts of his hair.

Azul leaned back in a little and whispered something in Idia's ear. "Wait till we're alone and see what happens to you then." Azul then pulled back to his original state and looked slightly up to make eye contact with Idia, then gave him a slight smirk. Next thing you know his face was flushed with pink and so were the ends of his hair again.

"Attention Night Raven students! Everyone make your way to the courtyard, a special surprise awaits your arrival!"

Headmage Crowley spoke over the intercom and, despite everyone knowing what the "surprise" was, since this kind of thing had already happened many a time over the years, he still decided to say it anyway because of course he did, he's Crowley and he's cringe.

Yet, despite all that, and even though it was obvious that not a single one of the students at Night Raven college actually wanted to see any of the Royal Sword Academy students, bar a few people here and there, they still followed their Headmage's instructions anyways since they really had no other choice in the matter.

And now with that, the show can begin.
