Fate On Wheels 2 ~ Skephalo/Dream6d AU

Chapter 3 ~ Academy Sunset

The two boys stood there for a moment, thinking about what was ahead. Skeppy then took a deep breath and turned to Bad.

"You ready?" Skeppy asked, not wanting to just run in without making sure Bad was okay too.

Bad took a deep breath as well before nodding. Skeppy opened the door and the two of them walked in. 

When they did so they were met by a rather lavish waiting room. A set of flowers were placed beneath a window to the outside, this being opposite to a line of comfortable looking seats. The whole room had a black and white theme with a few accents of dark and light blue.

The boys stared in awe for a second before shaking their heads back to reality and sitting down.

"How may I help you two?" a middle-aged woman spoke with a slightly raspy voice.

The two boys turned to her, Bad standing and taking a step further into her view. "Are you the headmaster?" Bad asked, trying his best to be as polite as possible.

"Yes I am, what is it you boys need?" She spoke, curiosity in her tone.

"Showing you would probably explain better." Skeppy said, standing up and handing the note they had found in their pockets before to the headmaster.

The woman read it, 'hmm-ing' to herself before responding. "Ah. New students I see. Follow me, I will set you two up and explain everything to you." She said, turning and walking back into her office and sitting at her desk.

Skeppy and Bad followed the woman and sat in some seats placed in front of the desk. The headmaster snapped her fingers as a glowing panel similar to the one Cecilia summoned earlier appeared.

"Firstly, your dorms. Since you two are special guests, you can choose who you want to room with. Would you like to live together, alone, or with someone else?" She asked. 

Skeppy turned to Bad "I'm fine living with you if you are."

Bad smiled, "Sure, it sounds like it'll be fun!" 

"Very well" The headmaster said with a smile as the two turned back to face her. She tapped the screen as something changed and she continued. "What would you say your skill level with magic is?" 

"Well.. We both don't remember much, So I'd say beginner. For me at least." Bad said nervously.

"Yeah, Same." Skeppy agreed.

"Well.. Okay then. It's strange you don't remember anything though. Do you know why that is?" She asked, seeming to enter the skill level into the panel.

"I have no clue, sadly.." Bad said, frowning a bit as he looked towards the ground.

"Same.." Skeppy said, looking over at Bad before frowning and looking away again.

"Well, this academy will be here for you as long as you two need." She spoke, a comforting smile accompanying her face.

"Thank you" Skeppy said with a soft tone, a slight smile returning to his face.

"It's no problem, dear. Now, would you like me to explain some things about the school?" She asked. 

Bad gasped and answered with excitement, "Yes please!"

The woman chuckled, "Very well" she started, beginning to explain most things about the school. From classes to uniforms, she told it all, and Bad enjoyed every second of it with a giddy smile. He seemed like he loved to learn.

A few hours later ~ Sunset

The two boys exited the building, greeted by a beautiful and vibrant sky. A sea of red, pink, and orange swirled across the atmosphere above as the moon rose into clearer view. Couples and friends all gathered around the area, it being on a hill made for a great sight-seeing spot. They all sat in various places; benches, lone seats, the grass. Some people even brought a set up for a picnic so they could completely enjoy the beauty above them.

"Wow.." Bad said, staring in awe at the sight.

"The sky is so pretty here." Skeppy said, following along with everyone in the staring.

"We don't really have a comparison, but yeah. It is." Bad replied, a small chuckle accompanying the sentence.

Skeppy laughed a bit, "yeah."

They sat in silence for a few moments before Bad had an idea.

"Let's go find a place to watch the sky!" He said.

"Aren't we already watching it now?" Skeppy replied, turning to the other. 

"No, Like- alone. We can find our own little place to relax and just talk!" Bad said with a smile and excitement-filled eyes.

"Oh, okay then. Lead the way!" Skeppy said, Bad's infectious smile effecting him as he smirked. 

Bad smiled more as he grabbed the other's wrist, pulling him along as he ran off to find a place for them to watch the sky.

"So you're the one grabbing my wrist now, huh?" Skeppy said with a playful tone as he was dragged along by the other.

"It just felt right." Bad said with a giggle and a shrug of his free arm as he repeated Skeppy's words from before.

Skeppy found himself staring at the other for the rest of his walk, soft smile on his face the whole time. They must've been friends before they lost their memories, It just feels... right, to joke around like this with each other. Maybe they were even best friends! That would explain why Skeppy felt so safe around the other already, despite technically just meeting today.

Yeah, best friends. That sounds good.
