Wild Boys 1.0

Six - All-Nighter

In the Moon Dormitory, there were a couple of rooms that still had their lights on. The moon was high up in the night. It was already nearing midnight.

The first was Ares' room. The teen sat comfortably beside his window while eating his cup of ramen, his eyes trained on the lawn below him.

The second was Steven's room, where the original occupant was already sleeping. However, Caleb had gone to crash in his room two hours ago, and was standing by the window with his arms crossed.

The third room was a certain redhead's, name unknown. He was sitting by his window, a lazy smile between his lips while he watch the spectacle below him.

The fourth was Cas' room, where the teen was busy reading his book in his couch, his eyes occasionally flicking to his window.

Despite their individual differences, they all thought the same thing: Stupid girl.

"Young master, the miss is still doing her punishment," The butler informed.

Pierre sipped his tea. At this hour he was normally asleep, but his champion had gotten herself into trouble. He was surprised and delighted to hear about it. Iris had proven to be a decent source of fun.

He wasn't about to let it go, not when the fun just started.

"Axel, are the preparations complete?"

"Yes. We are just waiting for your command, young master."

"Very well. Go."

"Yes, young master."

As his butler left the estate, Pierre drank the last of his tea.

It's much too early for you to go, my dear.

Back in Moon Dormitory, all four awake teens began to notice something peculiar happening below them.

It was hard to see in the blanket of the night, but their trained eyes caught a couple of men dressed in all black flickering in and out of their vision. There was one thing that stood out against their black clothing: they all held pink scissors.

Ares saw a familiar face among them. He instinctively gulped. It was the scary butler. He raised a hand up to the sky and then brought it down, his hand pointing to the lawn where Iris still hacked away at the grass. The men in black responded to Axel's silent command and began to silently help the girl.

Ares smirked. Technically...that wasn't cheating.

Iris didn't know what time it was already. Her fingers had gone numb. It was only sheer will that was making her move, despite her body going against it. Her sorry state kept her normally sharp senses dulled, so it wasn't a surprise that she was oblivious to the help she was getting.

She heard a rustle behind her and her eyes snapped to it. She made out someone standing in front of her and she mumbled out his name in dull surprise, "Axel?"

"Have some tea, miss."

He was holding out a tray with a cup of steaming tea. Despite her situation, she couldn't help but ask, "It's not Panda Dung tea, is it?"

Axel had his usual emotionless face, "It's young master's favorite, a good old matcha tea."

She gingerly stood up and winced as her limbs ached. She held out her hand and took the cup in her cold hands. She chugged it down again in two gulps. She put the cup back on the tray and bowed her head to the butler, "Thank you, Axel."
