Chapter Text
WILL
I looked up at the huge building. How did I even get here? Hope's Peak Academy has been my dream since I was a kid, and now I'm here...
I was a Ranger. Combat skills, along with the art of moving silently and never being seen. Somehow, my skills in spying were shoved aside, and I became the Ultimate Archer, but I'm here, right? That's what matters.
Not that people along the way didn't try to discourage me. I shuddered as I recalled how Horace was when we were younger. Crazy to think that the two of us are now dating..
I've been standing here for a while now. I probably look like an idiot. I took one more deep breath, adjusted my mottled jacket (more natural in a school environment than my usual cloak) and stepped through the gates.
I could immediately tell that something was off. I was dizzy, the corners of my vision were...
Black.
SHOTO
My head throbbed. I could tell my head was resting on something, but what, I couldn't say. Groaning, I opened my eyes. A classroom? Last I checked, I was outside... I pushed myself up from the desk and noticed something on the wall. I-iron panels? Why are those necessary? Turning back, there was a piece of paper on the desk. I don't know who wrote this, but I should probably follow directions for now... With that, I headed out of the room and down the hall towards the gym.
"SHO!!!"
I hear an all-too-familiar voice from behind me. It couldn't be... But up behind me jumped my boyfriend.
"Hanta! Are you okay? What happened?"
Hanta gave his trademark smile and nodded. "I'm fine, I'm fine... More importantly, we should head to the gym. I don't wanna be the one to test what'll happen if we don't."
I gave a rare grin. "I guess so." I took his hand, and together, we walked towards whatever fate awaited us.
WILL
"FUCK YOU, HINATA BOKE!"
"YOU WOULD LIKE THAT, WOULDN'T YOU, BAKAGEYAMA!"
I entered the gym to find absolute chaos. This black haired kid was yelling at a (much shorter) orange haired kid, who was yelling right back. From what they were saying, the two of them obviously had some sort of intimate relationship. As I was watching, a brown haired boy jumped onto another person, who looked annoyed and yelled a bit, but made no effort to actually remove him.
A blond haired boy was making a blue haired boy with robotic arms furiously blush, while a black haired boy laughed. As I watched, someone else came and talked to the black haired one. And he had the weirdest hair I've ever seen. Half was red, while the other was white. As he turned to the side, I could see what looked like a burn over his left eye. All I could think was: Wow. He's pretty hot. And then immediately shook the thought out of my mind. What are you thinking, Will? You have a boyfriend, and it looks like he does too. Still, as I walked away, I stole one more glance.
A very short blond haired boy looked like he was about to explode. Another tried to calm him down, while a girl next to them just snickered. Why is he so mad? I followed his gaze to find a black haired someone, seemingly oblivious. There’s some anger management problems there for sure.
I turned, and there he was. Horace. There was my boyfriend. I began to walk up to him, then stopped. Do I really want to make my approach this obvious? Nah. I stepped silently, disguising my approach like I had spent years training to do.
"HORACE!" I yelled.
"FUCK!" He jumped. I (badly) tried to cover my laugh, and he glared. "Will! Wh-" He quickly stopped his complaints once I leaned in for a kiss.
"I love you too" I said as I came around to sit in front of him.
"That's gay." I know that voice, too.
"Oh, like you can talk." I turned around to see Cassandra and Alyss, heading our way. "Last I checked, you two were the most lesbian-y lesbians I've ever met."
"You can shut up now, Will."
"I know I can, but I won't."
Cassandra was about to protest further, but before she could make a move, a voice resonated throughout the gym.
"Hey! I think there's 16 of us here now."
"Hm? You're right."
"Of course I'm right, Tobio-Chan!"
"We should introduce ourselves, right? I sure don't recognize everyone here..."
