Coward

Chapter 6 - ... And Put Back Together.

The song above is the Paradichlorobenzene x antichlorobenzene song from this chapter. Yes, it's a real song. Also, say hello to my new OC, David Smith.

David's POV
I looked around and found my brush. I swept my black hair with it. I had graduated from high school a couple months ago, but because of... situations, I couldn't go in the start of the semester. I wanted to make a good impression. I wondered what kind of people I would meet.

~~~Time Skip to the campus~~~
I stepped onto the campus. The place was huge. Immediately, I was accidentally" knocked over by who I instantly knew was one of the jerks. "Ow, shit..." I mumbled to myself. "Are you okay?" I heard a soft voice ask me. I looked up and wow. The person was about my age, with brunette hair and really deep yet bright emerald eyes. The person held out his hands. I grabbed them, and for such a thin looking person, he was strong. He pulled me up easily, then bent down to collect my books. When he was done, he handed me them. "T-thanks..!" I said. He grinned. "No problem. My name's Jeremy Fitzgerald by the way." Jeremy said. "My name's David Smith." I introduced myself. "You new?" Jeremy asked me. I nodded. "This is my first year here too. Be careful of those people. First day here and some people beat me half to death." Jeremy said. I didn't know if he was joking or not, but the look on his face told him he wasn't. I showed him my classes. "Um, I don't know where the seminar rooms are... Could you help me?" I asked him. "Oh! You go to the same room as me! Want to walk there together?" He told me. "Oh... A-alright! Thank you!" I told him. I put in an earbud when I saw Jeremy tense. He turned to me and asked, "is that vocaloid music?". I blushed. "Y-yeah..." I expected him to tease me or something, but instead he said "I like vocaloid music too... Do you watch anime or read manga?" Jeremy asked me. My eyes lit up. "I do both." I said as I grinned. Jeremy grinned back. "I have a feeling we're going to get along just fine."

~~~~Time Skip~~~~
"Thanks for showing me where to go Jeremy!" I said to Jeremy. I was vaguely aware of some guy frown behind him. "Oh, yeah no problem!" Jeremy said. "Well, I'll see ya later!" I waved and started walking to my dorm. So far, so good.

Mike's POV
I heard some people talking, and I saw a kid talking to Jeremy. My Jeremy. I frowned. I went over to Jeremy. "So who was that?" I asked. "Oh him? He's just a new kid, so I showed him around to his classes. He just said thanks to me." Jeremy said. I nodded. I leaned over and gave him a peck on the cheek. "So now what? What should we do?" Jeremy said. I want to do you. I thought in the back of my head. I blushed and looked away. "well... We've never properly went... Jeremy, want to go on a date?" I asked him. He grinned. "Oh course I want to!" Jeremy said.

We went to one of those fancy restaurants. Jeremy ordered a salad and I ordered a T-bone steak. The food was excellent, and we got an unexpected surprise when the waitress came again and gave us wine. "For the lovely couple." She said while giving me a wink. "You two are just soooo cute!" She said before walking away.

We poured the wine and toasted. "To love!" We said before clinking glasses. Yes, it was cheesy, but still romantic. I winked at Jeremy, making him blush.

We ate our food mostly in silence. The food was delectable. Not as delectable as Jeremy... I smirked.

When the bill came, Jeremy tried to take out his wallet when I stopped him. "It's alright Jeremy, I'll pay." I said to him. "Oh, no no no, it's alright! I can pay!" Jeremy said. I kissed him on the forehead. "Let me be a good boyfriend okay?" I said as I winked as him. Finally Jeremy gave up and let me pay.

---TIME SKIP---
I opened my eyes. Jeremy was next to me on the bed, and he was cuddling me. How cute. I closed my eyes to fall asleep again.

David's POV
I grabbed my long blue scarf and wrapped it around my neck. I always wore that scarf. It wasn't wool and was made of a thin cloth fabric, so I could wear it in the summer too. The scarf was very long. When I wrapped it around my neck three times, the ends would still go down to almost my ankles. I shrugged it off.
