JECHT
I can’t wait to see Trixxtal today! He thought happily, a blush on his smiling face as he thought about his boyfriend. In Jecht’s hand was a bag containing the homemade lunch he made for Trixxtal. He woke up an hour early each morning to prepare the food and he poured his heart into each meal, knowing the work was worth it every time he saw Trixxtal’s smiling face as he accepted Jecht’s food. He pressed the bag against his chest, close to his beating heart, not wanting anything to happen to the lunch as he walked through the cafeteria.
“Hey, guys!” he greeted warmly, walking up to a table sitting the Glamour group members. They returned his greetings but Jecht’s smile faltered slightly when he did not hear his beloved’s voice. “Trixxtal’s not here yet?” he asked, and Cepheus quickly answered for him.
“Oh, he told me he’d be a little late today. It won’t be long so you can sit with us and wait for him, Jecht.” He offered with a charming grin on his face as he pulled open a seat for him. Jecht nodded and was about to sit down, when Touda spoke up.
“I saw him heading for the rooftop.” He mentioned innocently, and the blinding smile on Touda’s face was full of so much kindness Jecht wouldn’t be surprised if Lucifel started making a scene about angels.
“Oh! Thanks, Touda! Since he won’t be long, I’ll just look for him there then, and we can walk back here together.” He thanked Touda, missing the way Cepheus cringed at the boy’s mention of the rooftop.
ETHAN
“There was no way I was going through that by myself, especially after you said I was some prodigy dancer! Let’s just agree to NEVER bring up that again.” he hissed, and then glanced down at the cafeteria meal with a frown. It was no wonder Rodrigo was looking at it with disdain. These meal portions looked like they would be perfect for a snack, not an actual lunch meal. He didn’t know if this was normal in their original world since he had no memory of attending school, but Ethan could have sworn that movies depicted high school cafeteria lunches differently than a small box. Actually, at the thought of ugly colored trays and ‘gross’ cafeteria food, maybe they didn’t have it so bad. At least the food tasted delicious, and being on the rooftop meant they didn’t have to deal with other students.
Of course he was proven wrong not even ten seconds later when he heard voices near the railing. “Oh great.” He sighed, noticing the bastard he almost got in a fight with earlier, “What’s he doing here?”
A student he didn’t recognize arrived soon after and Ethan watched the scene unfold curiously alongside Rodrigo.
BELLEROPHON
Bellerophon would rather go read manga in his room, but who knew if he would ever get a chance like this again? He was only here because in anime and manga, interesting things usually happened on rooftops, so he wanted to pretend he was in a real life anime. He reluctantly reached the rooftop of the school and felt his heart begin thumping swiftly against his chest at the sight of some cherry blossom petals fluttering with the wind. Maybe his wish for this moment to be like an anime could come true after all.
He looked around nervously and saw someone waiting alone by the railings. The guy turned around and started greeting him, and Bellerophon lamely shrugged his shoulders. “Yeah.” He answered unenthusiastically, observing him with slight interest trying to recognize him. He didn’t think he’d ever seen him before. He had no idea who this person was. “So you are… Trix...Toll?” he asked uncertainly, having no idea how to pronounce that ridiculous name. Honestly, another reason Bellerophon actually showed up was because the name Trixxtal looked like the name of a main character from a manga.
“And what did you want?” he added, realizing for the first time that he actually had no idea why this guy invited him out here. He just jumped at the chance to pretend he was real anime that he didn’t think about why Trixxtal sent him the note in the first place.
