Kakeru Yamamoto

01/01/1695
25 years old

Kakeru is one of the only human crew members on the SKULLKRAKEN, although he isn't completely human. He originated from Japan and is the son of a shinto priestess. He never met his father, but his mother told him that he was an angel from Heaven. No one really believed her until Kakeru began to exhibit supernatural powers. He was able to repeal spirits, ward off demons, and nullify magic. He was training to become the head priest of the temple when his village was attacked by pirates and Kakeru was taken as a hostage. There was said to be a ghost on the ship so they brought Kakeru back to exorcise it, but by the time he was finished, they had already left Japan and were at sea. Kakeru had no other option than to wait until they landed at a port so he could find his way back, but the pirate ship was raided by the SKULLKRAKEN. To his surprise the crew was full of nothing but supernatural creatures, all of which were helpless to his powers.

But rather than try to kill him, Fenrir, the ship's captain, saw this as an opportunity to make his crew stronger, should they ever run into another supernatural crew. In exchange for not killing him, Kakeru became a member of the SKULLKRAKEN and serves as both a fighter and the ship's cook. He doesn't exactly enjoy being apart of the crew and would not pass up the opportunity to go back to Japan, but after living on the ship for two years, he has formed relationships with the other crew members.

Welcome to the Dark Hour

♫ gabriel ♫

"AHAHAHAHAHA~! Hey Gabriel, I just left Club Escapade. I'm on my way *Hic* to the monorail station riiiiiggght about...NOW!"

" Er, Subaru, buddy, you don't sound so good..." As Gabriel spoke over the phone, he was already heading towards the monorail station. He could tell that Subaru was out-of-his-mind drunk and that there was a possibility that he wouldn't get off at the correct stop. " Just stay there, I'l-" He was cut off when the other line went dead. " Dammit Subaru, what the hell are you thinking." He sighed, putting his phone away and quickened his pace, hoping to catch Subaru before he got on the monorail and was lost forever. But maybe, to his luck, the Dark Hour would start before Subaru had a chance to get on, giving Gabriel enough time to catch him.

♫ mizuki ♫

" What the fuck are you talking about?" Mizuki questioned, looking over at her husband. She too had heard Akito's words, but unlike Kieran, she couldn't see anything in the distance. Although most of that was because she had poor eye sight and was too proud to wear glasses or get contacts. Placing her hands firmly on her hips, she shook her head, " Seriously Kieran, sometimes I think you're getting dumber by the seco-"

"This is a surprise..."

Being the intense Kyoya Legacy fangirl she was, her head snapped around so hard that it was a surprise that she didn't break it, finding the popstar standing there, in the flesh. but wasn't this the Dark Hour? Why wasn't Kyoya in a coffin like regular humans? Did this mean he was a persona user too? These thoughts should have been going through her head, but all Mizuki could think was, " ohmygodohmygodheiskyoyalegacyohmygodohmygod". Pushing Kieran out of the way, Mizuki walked up to Kyoya and grabbed the front of his t-shirt, pulling him close so she could examine his face better. " Kyoya Legacy? Is that really you?"

Mizuki was going to search for his birthmark, one that only true fangirls would know about, but a loud shot rang out through the air, a bullet barely scraping her hair. Momentarily confused, Mizuki released Kyoya from her grasp, frantically looking over to where the shot originated from. Standing a few feet away from them stood a blond man with long hair, probably a foreigner, with his gun pointed straight at her.

♫ gabriel ♫

As Akito had predicted, Gabriel had reached the monorail station before Subaru. He was prepared to wait for him to show up, but something in the distance had caught his eye. While he was walking to the station, the Dark Hour reared it's ugly head, turning the occasional passer-byer into a coffin. He was used to this so that's why he found it so surprising to find actual people standing in front of the station instead of red and black coffins. As he got closer, he instantly recognized all three of him. To his surprise, one of them was Kyoya Legacy, a world renowned popstar. Everyone who was anyone knew who he was, even a single father like Gabriel knew him.

The other two were Ludwig's assassins, a married couple whose names always escaped him. He had only seen them once or twice but had never really stopped to talk to them. Ever since killing Kida last year, Gabriel was on Ludwig's hit list so he made sure to avoid the two paid killers. But from what it looked like, the lady with the fire red hair was getting ready to attack Kyoya. Was he their next target?! Without taking the time to stop and think, Gabriel pulled his actual gun, not his evoker, out of his pocket and shot in the girl's direction. The action had been pretty quick and he didn't have time to aim properly, so he wasn't fazed when it missed her.

" Let him go." He said, approaching the three slowly. The woman had already let Kyoya go, but he still kept his gun pointed at her.

" Kieran! Are you going to let him shoot me or are you going to do something about it?!" The girl spat out, looking towards the dark haired man behind her.

☆protettore☆
Even though most of the instructions Nemesis was giving him were clear and easy enough to understand, Tori still couldn't wrap his head around some things. " Um, okay," He nodded along with her words when she paused to show that he was listening, but every now and then he would look to to Cepheus for confirmation that everything she was saying was true. It sounded simple while she explained it, but Tori knew that if they forced him to test it out now, he'd fail within a minute. But he supposed it could be worse. Jecht could have been the one teaching him these things and then he'd be the one getting shocked with lightening. Shuddering at the thought, Tori paid extra special attention to the rest of her speech. When they arrived closer to the buildings, Tori's stomach began to twist and turn. While everyone else was talking, he tugged on Cepheus' hand and whispered to him, " They won't make me do it by myself right...? I don't know if I can..."

☆videl☆
"Ah, I too remember my own experiences with the captain." Videl said in a whimsical voice, looking off into the distant night sky. " He taught me how to be a good thief too, not so much in stealth, but in other areas! If you could senorita." He held out his hand to Mariemaia, who placed a rolled up satchel in his hand. " There was no way I could become a silent walker with my bulky muscles, so he taught me other things. Such as breaking and entering!" He laughed as he unrolled the satchel to reveal a number of metal utensils, all of which Tori had never seen before. He crouched by the door and stuck one of the utensils into the lock and then fit another one inside it, and began to fiddle with it. It had taken a while for him to master the art of lockpicking, but as he was a terrible thief and a clumsy walker, this was the only area he could excel in. After a minute or two, with a final jab, the lock popped open and Videl confidently opened the door. As luck would have it, the building happened to be a work space for a carpenter with huge planks of wood littering the floor and tables. " Ah! Perfect! Just what we needed." He walked inside and inspected the wood. It was a little different than the ones they had on the FlyingDeath, but they would no doubt be useful.

" These will work with fixing the ship. Any volunteers to help me carry all this back?" He looked expectantly to each of his crewmates.

☆Mariemaia☆
While she was glad that Videl had broken into the building so seamlessly and she would have loved to help out, she had more important matters to think about. Before anyone spoke up about Videl's offer, she announced loudly, in a rushed voice, " I think we should split up!" There was a beat of silence and she quickly backpedaled to explain hurriedly explain herself. " It's just, it'll take us forever to carry all of this back to the ship. What about Tori's pants? He needs pants! And we still need to find Jecht..." She mumbled that last part under her breath, " So I think we should all split into groups. Videl, since you're so strong, you can carry all this wood right? It'd be no problem for someone like you!" She saw him faintly nod in agreement and she knew that she had him there.

" And Nemesis, you can show Tori how to steal, firsthand! Cepheus, you can go with them and overlook everything with...you know...your dog senses. And as for me and Charlie, it looks like we're stuck with going to look for Jecht." She sighed, making it seem like it was a burden for her. She couldn't let it be so obvious that this was her plan all along. Of course she cared about the ship and Tori's pants, but to her, Jecht came before all those things. She had to make sure he was okay and not drinking himself to death or else she wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything else.

" You're right," She heard Videl say, breaking her away from her thoughts, " it sounds good to me." He shrugged, and to show that he was on board, he slung five heavy planks of wood over one shoulder as if they were nothing. Excitedly, she turned to the rest to see if they also agreed to her plans.

Day 2

♥ The next night, Trixxtal asks Tori how he got the wizard to leave, but he doesn't know either. Sending Tori to sleep, Trixxtal goes out to try to find more information. Jecht wakes up around the same time.

♥ Instead of actually doing anything useful though, Trixxtal is just cleaning some jewels that they had looted from a passing ship. But once Jecht appears, he tries to get him to go back to bed to rest and so his wounds would have a chance to heal. BUT Jecht takes this the wrong way and an argument ensues. ("Quit with that sassy attitude" / " A dark mass of shadows won't always be there to save us!" / WE NEED TO GET STRONGER)

♥ BUT THEN Cepheus shows up, aka Trixxtal's WORST enemy, and offers Jecht his blood, only worsening Trixxtal's shitty mood. He throws the golden hook back in Jecht's face and tells him to go back to his "precious Cepheus".

♥ Jecht gets even more angry (" I don't know why I bothered to look for you. In fact, I'm glad you weren't there when I woke up! This is all your fault!" " I'm like this because of you; I am hurt because of you!") An angry Trixxtal throws the jewels off of the ship and into the water, and Jecht makes baby Tori go and retrieve them from the bottom of the ocean because he is heartless.

♥ The other crew members are doing their own thing. Videl is working out, Nemesis asks him to help her train, and Charlie sets off to find Tori after Jecht orders him to.

♥ Back in his private quarters, Cepheus chides Jecht for being so unreasonable to Trixxtal, but gives his blood to Jecht anyone to help with his recovery. After a little more teasing from the Hellhound, Jecht is finally able to get some sleep.

♥ After Jecht leaves in a huff, Trixxtal goes back to his room to rest. He finds Charlie at the front of the door, and thinking that he is there to play with his nephew, he sends them off together, unbeknownst to him that he is practically sending Tori off to his doom. He goes inside his room and angsts about Jecht, thinking about how much he hates him, but how he really loves him too.

♥ On deck, Charlie explains to poor, young Tori that he is to retrieve the jewels from the bottom of the sea. Unfortunately for the both of them, Tori does not know how to swim. Rather than face Jecht during this sensitive time, Charlie goes off to find help, mainly the rest of his crewmates for help. He enlists the help of Mariemaia, who was once a captain of a ship herself before Jecht sunk it, thus she knew how to swim. Memories from that day were brought back to her and she reminisces about how she fell in love with Jecht that day, and planned to confess in the near future. In the meantime, she decides that tossing Tori overboard while tied to a rope was THE BEST OPTION.

♥Poor baby Tori held on to the rope for dear life as they lowered him into the sea. Encouragements of " Just kick your arms and legs until you stay afloat!" and " The rope around your chest will stop you from drowning!" did nothing to stop him from drowning or learning how to swim and he begins to panic. Cepheus, who had just finished off fighting off some unruly crewmembers, over sees this and rushes over to help before Tori dies from their stupidity. He dives into the water and saves Tori from a watery grave. While he is there, he turns into his Hound mode and helps Tori collect all the missing jewels. Before finishing, Cepheus discovers a small sphere hidden in the water trees. Little does he know that this is a DragonSphere (3). He brings it on deck.

♥ Elsewhere, on the SKULLKRACKEN, the ship that took Tori's parents, Regulus taunts them as he feeds them blood. On the same ship, Fenrir, the SKULLKRACKEN's werewolf Captain uses a magical mirror to summon Milton, the "spacewitch" who would be able to help him revive Freya, his late human lover.

♥ Milton instructs Fenrir that in order to bring Freya back to life, he needs the blood of all the magical creatures i.e vampires, fairies, dragons, werewolves etc. Once they retrieved those things, the ritual will happen on Samhain, the 31st of October (less than a year away in their time) and that in order for Freya to live after the ritual they need a body. But to get a souless body, they must summon Koryuu, the master of the DragonSpheres who grants wishes to anyone who collects them all. Milton gives Fenrir a radar and a scouter to help him find the spheres.

♥After bidding farewell to the spacewitch, Fenrir calls upon his first mate Fantine for advice. He explains the situation to her and in return she tells him that this sounds like a bad fairy tale. But in the end she agrees that this was their best chance to achieve Fenrir's goal of bringing Freya back. She tries out the scouter and discovers a sphere in the west.

♥ They pack the magical items away and Fenrir tells Fontine to rest, as they would be arriving at NeverIsland the next day. NeverIsland was Fenrir's enchanted Island that relocated every few days and only Fenrir knew it's location at all times. They will deposit their prisoners there as they collect the rest of the Dragon Spheres and wait for Samhain.

Welcome to the Dark Hour

♫ mizuki ♫

With arms crossed, Mizuki drummed her fingers against her arm, waiting for their target to show up. It had taken an hour or so for them to actually get to the correct monorail station, so by the time they got there, it was almost time for the dark hour. Which was fine for Mizuki, it only made their persona's more accessible.

" Where the fuck is he Kieran?" She asked as if he knew, " He should've shown up already, the last monorail leaves in ten minutes."

♫ gabriel ♫

" Goodnight kid." Gabriel smiled lovingly at his sleeping son. He hated leaving him at home all alone, but he would much rather fight shadows outside than in his house where there was a possibility of Tristen getting hurt. Tucking the covers under his chin, Gabriel kissed his forehead lightly and got up, turning on the nightlight incase Tristen woke up later on and left the room.

Taking another glance at the clock, Gabriel grabbed his jacket and put it on, patting his pocket to check that the evoker was still in there. It was, luckily, and with that reassurance he grabbed his keys and locked his door, checking it twice so no one could get in while his son was sleeping. One of these days, he should hire a nanny or someone to look after Tristen. But with all the costs of Tristen's clothes, food and other personal needs, there was no left over money for it. That was why it was so important for him to find Tristen's mother....even if he didn't remember what her name was.

Gabriel took his phone out of his pocket and dialed Subaru's number. He knew that he had went to go visit Kagura and wondered if he got home safely. The last monorail was due to leave soon and since Gabriel lived close to the station, he could take him home if needed.

" Hello? Oh, hey Subaru. Didja make it home okay?"

♫ shino ♫

" We.....We shouldn't be doing this..." The famous popstar whimpered, placing a soft hand on the other's strong, masculine chest. It felt so warm beneath his fingertips.

" What do you mean my love? Why not?" Kyoya's melodic voice asked lowly, taking hold of the hand on his chest and moving it toward his heart.

Shino swallowed thickly as he placed a hand over his own heart, a fierce blush coloring his cheeks. He eagerly scrolled down, unknowingly leaning closer to the computer screen, his fingers slightly trembling.

" Nyaaa~ Kyoya-sama~!" Lovi swooned, melting in Kyoya's arms, " TAKEE ME~♥♥♥♥!"

It was all too much for poor Shino Masaomi and blood exploded from his nose, the KAWAII DESU of it all becoming too much to bare. Reaching over, Shino grabbed a tissue and covered his nose but continued reading the rest of the fanfic. It was perfectly fine for guys to read yaoi right? Nothing wrong about that. BUT it certainly was wrong that he was reading a dirty yaoi fanfiction in the closed library he worked out and what only made it worse was that he knew the two characters in the story, he even went to highschool with them. But Shino couldn't resist! The fanfiction was too good! The concerts they did together obviously showed the burning passion they had for each other. Their stolen glances, their secret touches.

" Ugh." Another burst of blood came from his nose at the thought of the Kyoya Legacy & Lovi Sky duet they did last year for a charity. He had the special edition at home and watched it over a thousand times.

Vampire Mafia

AMPELLIO
With one idiot out of the way, Ampellio silently prayed that they wouldn’t run into anymore. If he could keep the demons away from Ryuu and Ryo, Marcellina, Vencentio, Anastasio, Izel….infact, if he could keep the demons away from everyone, that would be just great. It was a sheer miracle that Valente left right before the demons arrived and Ampellio didn’t want to test that luck any longer than he had to. He didn’t even know if Valente was aware that the demons were here and the last thing he needed was Valente arriving out of nowhere.

“ Great. Follow me.” He said with a smile and lead the demons out of the kitchen. It seemed that Marcellina had actually done something as the halls were clear of unconscious bodies, allowing them to move freely with-in the fortress. “ Excuse me for asking, but why are you searching for a duck of all things? Do demons have an unfounded amatide complex that no one knows about?” Ampellio, of course, knew the exact answer, even lived under the same roof as the person who caused it, but he wanted to know how much the demons knew about the situation, or how much they were willing to disclose.

ZRA
“ Well….” The demon started off, looking to Alu uncertainly, “ All we can say is that this duck is very important to us. It is important that we find him,” He trailed off warily, “ ….it, soon.” He corrected himself, hoping he hadn’t given too much away. The only species that should know about the Prince’s disappearance should be the wizards and demons alone, but Zra wasn’t sure how much the other species knew about the situation, or if they had chosen sides in this conflict. It was best not to say anything too revealing for now.

AMPELLIO
“ Ah, I see. Well, I hope you find the duck you’re looking for soon.” Ampellio smiled sweetly, turning the corner sharply. “ Here we have the main room, where most of our members relax, but it seems empty at the moment.” Because all of them are recovering in their rooms, he finished off in his head, deciding whether or not the spirit’s attack had been a blessing in disguise. “ I am not sure where all of our members went…maybe its lunch time?” He wondered out loud, flashing a smile to the demons to show off his pointed fangs. “ Would you like to come back at another time, when there are actual people here, or would you like to look around some more? You’re welcome to do so, but I don’t want to waste your time when you obviously have more important matters to attend….to…” His sentence was cut short when one of the demons, the one with blue hair, suddenly bolted from the room, running down the hall as fast as he could. Honestly, Ampellio wasn’t used to being surprised, but he hadn’t expected the demon to make a run for it like that. He turned his gaze to the remaining demon and looked at her expectingly, “ Well, I wonder what that was about.”

ANASTASIO
“ Wow Izel, this is amazing!” The young vampire said with excitement, amazed at how the amulet was actually glowing like Izel said it would! Because of Valente, Anasatio loved magic and loved watching him preform it. But this was something totally different. Izel was a vampire like himself, who shouldn’t possess magic like Valente, and yet here he was, in a magic circle!! It was amazing!
At that moment, the door to the office open and Protettore walked in, his eyes darting straight to the magic circle on the floor. An awkward silence filled the room as Protettore stared at the circle and Anastasio and Izel stared at him. Finally, a disappointed sigh left Protettore and he began to shake his head, “ I’m going to skip the what and go straight to the why.”

“ Izel said that it’ll protect me from the evil spirit haunting this fortress!!” Anasatio explained, turning to look at his brother with excitement and wonder in his eyes. “ I asked if he could do it for everyone but he said it only works for one person….but isn’t it cool?!”
It took a second for Protettore to reply, but when he did, he sounded just as fed up as before. “ Valente has dealt with the spirit already, there’s no need for this.” He said, crushing their dreams with a single sentence. Immediately Anastasio’s excitement left him and he looked down at the amulet with a frown, “ Oh….”

Before anyone had the chance to say anything else, the door slammed open once more, but this time, a man Anasatio had never seen before stood there. Maybe he was a new hire? There were a strange pair of…horns on top of his head, and his hair was an eccentric blue, but more than that, there was something off about him that set him apart from everyone else. Much like Valente, he had a different aura around him. Protettore obviously felt it too because Anastatio watched his brother immediately tense up as he glared at the stranger.

“ Who the fuck are you.” He demanded, his anger rising at an incredible rate. Anastasio was hardly around whenever his brother got this angry, so seeing Protettore like this made the hair on his arms stand up. Worriedly, he turned to Izel and whispered to him in a low voice, “ Izel…is this the spirit you were talking about?”

ZRA
Suddenly running off like he had wasn’t his plan, nor his intention, but when Zra had picked up a faint use of magic in the fortress, that wasn’t coming from the kitchen, he had to follow it. It could have been the outlaw wizard trying to cover his tracks, or further hiding himself in the fortress. So without him even realizing it himself, he had taken off in top speed to catch whatever it was using magic. But to his surprise, the trail had lead him to a room which he kicked open and found three vampires inside, one of which was inside a magic circle of some sorts. Okay, so not the wizard he was looking for, but atleast there was magic being performed….however small it was. Zra felt the foreign feeling to regret seep into his bones as one of the vampires, perhaps the most threatening one in the room turned his attention onto him.

With nothing else to say, Zra spoke the truth. “ I am Zra. I am a demon looking for an outlaw. The red haired vampire let me and my partner inside to inspect the premises.” He said with the most even voice he could. His gaze shifted back to the magic circle, inspecting it. Just as he thought as soon as he saw it, it was not the magic of a wizard, nor was it powerful enough to turn a demon into a duck. “ When I sensed magic I had to follow it. I apologize.” He returned his attention to the main vampire, expecting to be forgiven, but instead, he was greeted with a fist to the face. Demons were strong in their own right and a simple punch from a human would be nothing but an ant bite to them, but this vampire held so much strength in his punch that Zra stumbled backwards and fell to the ground. Having never been hit like that in his life, Zra remained momentarily stunned and confused as the vampire moved to loom over him.

“ I’m going to give you until the count of three to get out of my fortress, you trespassing son of a bitch.” The vampire warned, cracking his knuckles loudly. “ One.”

VALENTE
“ Your hair?” Valente questioned, actually having to take a second to think about what Jecht meant. Then, just like that, everything clicked together like the world’s most amusing puzzle. “ Oh! Aha, your hair! I can’t believe I forgot about that! I was starting to think that your hair was always like that, ahahahaha!!” He doubled over in laughter. Sure enough, when he looked back at Jecht, his attention went straight to the hair, making him laugh even harder, “ Ahaha, holy shit that’s so funny! And you fought with Trixxtal like that! Aha, no wonder he dumped you!” His laughter continued the more he thought about it. If he had known turning Jecht’s hair into a rainbow would be this funny when he did it, he would have made it a permanent feature.

“ Okay, okay, okay, I’ll stop now.” He chuckled, wiping a tear from his eye. “ I’ll turn your hair back to normal, but first, let me take a selfie!” His phone materialized in his hand quicker than even vampires could see and he appeared beside Jecht just as fast, smashing their faces together to fit in the screen of the phone. The flash went off and then Valente was gone just as quickly as he had appeared, safely out of Jecht’s reach before he knew what was happening and get his hands around Valente’s neck. Safe in the air and out of reach, Valente triumphantly reviewed his selfie, or as he would call it, his masterpiece. The myth about vampires not appearing in mirrors or photographs was complete bullshit because the stunned/shocked expression on Jecht's face was just too PRICELESS not to be real. The rainbow hair only improved the picture. “ You’re lucky I don’t have social media Jecht, or else I would post this on insta! Look at us, we look like best friends!”

But Valente knew that he could only push his luck so far, and if bringing up Trixxtal and taking a selfie were strike one and two, he did not want to stick around for strike three. With a simple wave of his wrist, the color in Jecht’s hair dissolved into it’s usual dark locks and his hair was returned to normal. “ There, all done! Are you up for playing volleyball now?” he said, looking down at Jecht with a smile.

U mad?

SHOU
Seizing the opportunity given to him by the duck's momentary shock, Shou ripped his hair free from the feathers and jumped as far away as he could from the little demon. Now out of immediate danger, he dropped the butterknife, which was now useless, to the ground and focused his attention on his tangled, mess of hair. " Oh my God, look at this," He whined, frantically running his fingers through the tangled locks, " Look how tangled and gross this is! I look like a hobo! I look like Akiza when she first arrived here!!" The memory of that bird's nest he had dealt with the day before was still fresh in his mind, but never in a million years did he think he'd be the one with the ugly tangled hair!

However, if Shou was anything, he was always prepared, and not a second later he had his hairbrush in his hands trying to tame his wild hair. “ After everything I did for him and he treats me like this?! Ugh Daisuke, if you know whats good for you, you’d keep that duck out of my sight from now on!”

“ But what about his wing?” He heard Daisuke ask with worry in his voice, but Shou quickly held up his hand to silence him, already being 200% done with this conversation, “ I already said, he just needs rest. Now, I’m going to take a look at your hand and then go home to treat my poor, poor hair.” He let out a solemn sniffle as he looked down at his once beautiful hair. The knots were out by now and it symbolized some sort of order, but it still wasn’t up to its usual magnificent beauty.

DAISUKE
“ Okay then…” Daisuke said, dejected. He wanted Shou to have another look at the duck’s wing, just to make sure he hadn’t hurt himself during the attack, but he understood Shou’s distrust towards the animal. Afterall, Daisuke had asked a lot from him already.
“ Reiko, do you mind looking after Ducky for a while? He seems like he likes you.” He smiled, offering the now calm duck to Reiko. It wasn’t that he distrusted Akiza…but well…she had gotten the knife for Shou! There was no telling what she would do if the duck decided to attack again. Out of all of them, Reiko seemed like the best choice. “ Maybe he can help you and Giima study!” He joked, although, it was a very lame one.

☆☆ Not This Again

TRIXXTAL
For every step Bellerophon took back, Trixxtal stepped forward, closing the gap between them. Honestly it was getting annoying, how Bellerophon was dodging his passes and playing oblivious. If Trixxtal was a better person, he would probably question his true intentions, if getting involved with Bellerophon, who had nothing in common with him and was, quite frankly, dense as hell, was worth endangering his relationship with Jecht, but sadly, Trixxtal was superficial. Bellerophon's beautiful face was enough to lead him astray from Jecht's side and Trixxtal wanted nothing more but to add the beautiful blonde before him to his personal harem.

" It might seem like you have everything right now, mon amour," He grinned, reaching out to lightly stroke his fingers across his cheek, " but you don't know what you're missing un-"

RODRIGO
" Can we get out of here now?!" Rodrigo whispered furiously to Ethan, turning away from the scene happening before them. There was only so much sappyness he could handle, and watching two guys get it on ontop of a roof was more than enough for him. But unfortunately for them, neither he or Ethan could make their escape without running into Bellerophon and Trixxtal and being seen. " I knew this guy was going to get on my nerves but this is more than I ever expected." Rodrigo grumbled under his breath, debating whether or not it was worth it was worth getting into an awkward situation than just waiting for them to leave. But before Ethan could answer, both of their heads snapped to the rooftop door that had suddenly swung open. Finally! A chance to escape!
