Our Fate

Our Progress

Alright~ so it may seem like I rushed the story from the first chapter to this one but please excuse me since we haven't really reached the main story and I don't want to drag the false hope around. Again, I'm sorry if there is any misunderstanding in the story.

   It has been nearly a month since Elsword met Raven. During that month, it didn't even take a week to realize that he was in love with his muscular friend.

"Elesis?"
"Huh what?"
"So.. I get this feeling when I'm around this person.. I feel like I can't talk to them because I'm so embarrassed. Do you know what it is?"
"......................... I thought you didn't have friends?"
"N-no no no h-he- I mean t-the person isn't exact-t-tly a friend, I-I mean t-they're l-like-"
Elesis' head cocked to the side as she heard her brother hide the "he" in his sentence, but she was alright with it since she had a friend who loved her brother to the point where it could be mistaken as incest.
"Okay I get it... If you really want me to tell you, then prepare your heart."
Elsword vigorously nodded his head.
"Well, you're in love with that person. I'm surprised you didn't know when you read all those girly books." Elsword's eyes widened as his face flushed.
"L-l-love??!??"
Elesis shook her head and thought, 'who knew that my brother would turn gay...'

   Ever since that incident, Elsword couldn't look at Raven since he feared that he would find out about his feelings. He would hate him because it was disgusting.
   It was almost time for winter break and Elsword wanted to get Raven's contact information since he wouldn't be able to see him for a while. Elsword, being the witty person he is, obviously couldn't gather the courage to ask him. He'll ask me right? Elsword looked through the window and saw Raven playing soccer with his friends. He'll... Definitely ask me..

Ding dong ding dong~
It was the last bell that signaled that school was over. Finally, winter break had started. Maybe I was expecting too much. Thinking that Raven would give me his contact information; what an idiot I am..
   Elsword packed up and was reading to leave the classroom until Raven barged in.
"I-IS ELSWORD IN HERE??!?"
   Everybody in the classroom jerked their heads around, shocked to see a handsome guy ask for a loner like him.
Aaahhhh! He actually looked for me..! Is it bad that I'm happy? "I'm.. I'm right here..!" Raven turned to Elsword and stared at him for a few seconds. Elsword's faced flushed a scarlet red.. A scarlet so close to his hair, his classmates couldn't tell his face and his hair apart.
   Raven chuckled and said,"Let's go home together." His face is red.. How cute!
   Elsword's heart nearly stopped.
Go home together? We never walked on the same road except at school and in the train. W-well... This is a good chance.. Right? RIGHT? Elsword simply nodded and left the room, embarrassed at what had just happened.
   Once the door shut, the class erupted into a harmony of gossip. Comments like, "why does Raven want to hang out with him" and "unbelievable.. It's a joke" was heard everywhere on that floor.
"Don't listen to them."
"Y-Yeah I know.."
   Elsword looked up at Raven with shy eyes. Raven turned away from Elsword. His face starting to burn up in this cold weather. He's so cute.. He's not a girl, yet why do I keep finding him adorable?

The Cobo Express is now leaving.
   The train was very packed. Elsword was squished between strangers as usual since he didn't have any presence to them.
"Elsword, are you uncomfortable?"
"No."
   Truth is, he was very uncomfortable. He was skinny, but that didn't mean he couldn't be squished in between people. He was being sandwiched against his will; he couldn't help it though.. School ends at a time when the trains are busy. Crap... I can barely breathe. Anymore and I'm gonna faint. Dammit.. Someone.. Help..!
   Elsword felt himself being pulled out of the crowd and into an empty space. "Th-thank you!" Elsword gasped out.
"Be careful! Why didn't you tell me that you were being squished?" Raven sounded angry.
"I... I'm sorry. I thought it would be fine."
Raven sighed. "Don't worry about it. Next time just tell me honestly."
"Alright. Thanks for helping me."
   Raven put his arm on top of Elsword. Why did he put his arm there? Elsword decided to look at what Raven was doing since he was "smart." Raven was protecting Elsword from the crowd. He was acting as a shield from everybody else; something he always read in girly manga. Although the Raven was incredibly muscular, he couldn't fight back the strength of over twenty people leaning against his back. Raven's face was coming closer to Elsword's. 8 inches.. 7 inches.. 6 inches.. 5 inches.. 4 inches..... 3 inches... Elsword couldn't stop his face from flushing. Please come a little closer- wait what am I thinking?!? That's insane. Of course he wouldn't come closer to me. Jesus Christ, he's straight! Elsword looked up at Raven and was shocked and happy to see that he was also blushing.
"U-um-"
"Sorry, don't talk for a few minutes."
Elsword shut his mouth. Oh god, I can smell his cologne.. I feel like a pervert.. I wanna dig my face into his shirt.. Oh no this isn't good. My other friend seems to be enjoying Raven's scent as well. Oh please don't show up.. I'm glad that this sweater is big. He won't realize that I have feelings for him if the top part of my pants are covered.
Raven was thinking something similar. Dammit.. He smells so good. What kind of shampoo does he use? I don't think he's the type to wear cologne.. I should turn my head away before I get hard..

We have arrived at xx Station. Thank you for riding the Cobo Express.
"Hey shorty, which way do you go?"
"H-huh?"
"I'll walk you home."
"Oh. Thanks.. I walk this way."
"I walk that way too. It's strange how we've never ran into each other."
"Mhm."
   It didn't look like it, but the gears in Elsword's head were turning. How will I get his contact information? How will I tell him "Can I have your number?" This is hard-
"Sure, why not."
Wait what.....?
"What?"
"I said sure."
   Elsword's face flushed again for what felt like the millionth time today. They exchanged numbers. Heh, Elsword must've said that out loud by accident. I can't handle it. I feel so happy. I've never felt this way before.. I wonder what this is.
"By the way, where do you live, shorty?"
"I live in Altera Apartments. It's close by the train station." Elsword had gotten used to Raven calling him shorty. It's not like he could help the fact that he was actually short.
"Really? I've lived there for the last two years but I've never seen you before."
"Oh it's probably because I dress and look totally different at home."
"You're telling me you don't always look like that?"
"Yup."
"I'm confused. Why?"
"It's kind of ridiculous."
"Tell me."
"Well I had a crush when I was younger. I really really liked her. But one day she told me 'all the girls like you so I hate you!'. Yeah, quite ridiculous but it was my first love. It hurt me for a while so I purposely made myself look like this. I don't know why I keep forcing myself to look like this when I don't even like her anymore. Heck, I don't even remember who she was!"
"Wow. That's sad."
"I think it was quite stupid."
   Raven stared at Elsword. What does he look like at home? I'm curious. "Is it okay if I drop by your place?"
Elsword choked and then coughed. Did he say what I think he said? "Sorry. Uhhh, what?"
"Can I go to your house?"
Uwaaaahhh he really said it..! "U-umm my sister will be there."
"I don't mind."
"Umm," Elsword blushed. "S-sure, I guess."
Raven smiled. Scoooooore!

Sooooo liek I think I'm gonna stop here. I can't get my thinking juices flowing so I'll write the rest next chapter. I read this myself and found that some sentences didn't quite work out, but I'm tired and again, couldn't find ways to fix it since I'm such a noob at writing. I'm sorry if his story seems too rushed ><
