Summary:

When Corpse left his old university for a new one in a brand new town because of personal reason, he didn't expect for his university life to be quite the opposite of what he was hoping for his college life to be.

Surrounded by good friends, Corpse knows that his university life would be much more meaningful and exciting than his last one.

He just didn't expect that a pure wholesome guy name Sykkuno would make his university life much more enjoyable.
Black might be his favorite color, but green would always have a special place in his heart.

Chapter Text

A/N: Felt like we didn’t have enough AU in this fandom so I decided to make one. Feel free to leave any suggestion on how this fic should run its course!

That being said, this is an AU so some circumstances might differ from current real-life information we know about them! Thank you!

Note: All of them are 3rd year university students, but Sykkuno would be a year lower than them meaning he is a 2nd year student in this storyline.

~o~oOo~o~

 

Corpse knows he is sticking out like a sore thumb.

 

Maybe because of the fact that he transferred in the middle of the university calendar.

 

Or simply because of the way he dressed, in an all-black outfit. From black tight jeans, a black long sleeve that is quite neatly folded up until his elbow, and finally paired nicely with a pair of black converse shoes, and a face mask that he refused to remove for personal reason. At least the mask wasn’t black in color.

 

The moment he entered his first class on his very first day in the university, several heads turned to him the moment he entered the room where his first class would be.

 

A digital art class.

 

Which he took just because he was genuinely curious about the class, after all from where he came from, it wasn’t offered as a course but rather just a small club that nobody really bothered joining in.

 

He took the presumably empty seat at the very back of the class, the nearest to the windows, as to avoid any more attention and because he knows that he can divert his attention to the scenery outside the room if the class becomes too boring for him. Thankfully his gaze was enough to snap other people’s attention away from him. He sighs in relief as the others seems to have noticed it. He really hated unwanted attention.

 

Even though he got a little bit of an unwanted attention, Corpse have to admit that this university is ten time better than his previous university. Because first of all at how big the university is, the courses being offered has a large variety of selection, clubs are optional and not mandatory which Corpse really liked, a quick peek in the cafeteria which is huge and offers wide selection of foods, and the main factor that made Corpse transfer to this very university is the fact that this school is well-known for producing high quality educated students thus making it easy for a graduate here to find a job.

 

Corpse didn’t have a hard time leaving his old university, after all he didn’t exactly have any friends there, more like acquittances only which was fine by him because he wasn’t really social and would prefer staying at his room rather than going out in clubs or even malls. So the moment his Dad needed to transfer to a new town because of the good promotion he got at work, he didn’t really needed to think twice about going with them rather than staying at a dorm near his university.

 

It took exactly a week for Corpse and his family to settle down in their newly furnished home, and a week for him to find and enroll in the university. Corpse is just glad that the university accepted him because of his grades from his previous university. It wasn’t high or anything impressive, but it’s above average and apparently well enough to be enrolled this time of the year.

 

As he diverted his attention towards his phone which he took out the moment he sat down, Corpse slowly looked up to see a guy smiling down at him. And the very first thing Corpse noticed is his man-bun which actually suited the other guy. The said guy was smiling at him “Hey new guy nice to meet you! I am Jack! I just wanted to make you feel welcomed seeing as you will be my new seatmate for the rest of the year!”

 

Corpse wasn’t really used to this kind of energy being directed at him early in the morning, but he knows basic manners. So he slowly closed his phone before placing it inside his pocket just so he could address Jack properly. “Corpse. My name is Corpse. And I guess nice to meet you too.”

 

For some odd reason the smile turned into a grin “Holy shit man! You really have a nice deep deeeep voice! I’m actually kind of jealous of how good you sound!”

 

Even before Corpse could reply, another man came up to them. “Jack you are already bothering the new guy? You are going to scare him away man, it’s his first day and all after all!”

 

Jack pouted in response “Hey of course not, Felix! I just want to talk to him and get to know him! After all he would be my new seatmate and I need someone to talk to during this boring class!”

 

Felix, presumably the name of the new guy, just shakes his head but he was smiling so Corpse thinks that the two are really close friends. “I have told you millions of times if you find this class boring just drop it already.” Felix then turned to Corpse “Hi! Sorry for Jack here he is like this to everybody, friendly guy but will get you in trouble with our professors so don’t let your guard down around him.”

 

“HEY!”

 

Felix just ignored that, as he offered Corpse his hand which Corpse took “Name is Felix man, Jack’s best friend. I must admit I find it very odd for a new transfer to be in this university given the time of the year but I hope you enjoy it here.”

 

“I wasn’t really planning on transferring in the middle of the school year but decided to just enroll seeing as I didn’t want to waste half a year doing nothing.”

 

Felix grinned at him “I like you already!” he laughed out loud “Nice voice by the way, really cool. I didn’t think it would be possible for anyone to have that kind of voice that deep yet really nice. It suits you, with your aura and all.”

 

Corpse chuckled at that “Thanks, I get that a lot.”

 

“And because of how cool you dress and your voice, I have decided to be your new friend!” Jack suddenly proclaimed making Corpse and Felix look at him, but it was clear that the other man wasn’t taking any rejection. “From now on you are part of our totally awesome circle of friend, I am adopting you!”

 

Felix laughed at that remark “He isn’t a pet, Jack. You need to ask him nicely to be your friend you know? It wasn’t for you to decide.”

 

Jack just rolled his eyes at him “Blah blah blah, I’m just going to pretend to not hear that okay Felix?” Jack looked at Corpse “So new friend Corpse, I am not taking any rejection so too bad for you buddy!” Jack grinned “Can I see your class schedule? After all, I will be guiding you to have a totally awesome-not-lame university life!”

 

Corpse just shrugged, easily accepting that Jack is a genuine friendly guy. So without hesitation Corpse handed Jack his printed version of his schedule. Jack easily took it, while Felix also took a glance at the piece of paper in Jack’s hand. “Why would anyone take advance Mathematics and Statistics? Are you secretly a genius or something man? Absolutely insane, I took that class for fun then dropped out after an hour.”

 

Corpse chuckled as he finds their reaction amusing “I just figured that it wouldn’t hurt to try out new classes that wasn’t offered in my previous university.”

 

Jack and Felix both looked at him before the two of them chuckled and finally returning their attention back to his class schedule. After a minute has passed of them just probably memorizing his own class schedule, Jack returned the piece of paper to him grinning as he did “Buddy you are in luck! Almost all classes I have you also took! Oh god we are so going to be best buddies slash friend by the end of the university life!”

 

Felix laughed at that before looking at Corpse “Tough luck for you Corpse, Jack will ruin your life.”

 

“I WILL NOT!” Jack shouted as he crossed his arms “Anyway Corpse if you want, actually screw that you are totally going to join us and the others during lunch! I need to introduce you to them!” Jack said “Some classes you have like the Mathematics and Statistics, Argumentation and Debate, and the Physical Science are classes that I will never take but somehow you did so I think there is a problem with you but…  if I remember correctly Dream is taking one of those class, so does Greaseball and 5up so you’ll totally be fine buddy even without me being there!”

 

Before they could continue with their conversation the professor finally entered the room making all of them halt in their topic as they all returned to their seats. As the professor started to discuss, Corpse’s attention shifted as a piece of folded up white paper was thrown at his desk. He looked to his left and saw Jack waving at him as if they hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Corpse opened up the paper reading what was written,

 

“You need to try the chicken in the cafeteria later for lunch! We are going to have chicken okay? CHICKEN!”

 

Corpse couldn’t help but chuckled quietly at the message, he turned his head to Jack before nodding making Jack grin before pulling out another sheet of paper writing in it furiously, Corpse could easily see Felix shaking his head disapprovingly, like he knows what Jack is doing during class.

 

And at that point, Corpse knows that he would have the best time in this new university.

~o~oOo~o~

 

“Oh hey you are the new guy right?!”

 

Was the first thing that Corpse heard as he, Jack, and Felix made their way towards one of the tables in the large cafeteria they have in the university. As the three of them sat down, Jack looked around the table before grinning at everybody “Guys this is Corpse! The best guy with the best cool voice you will ever hear!”

 

Corpse admittingly was a little bit embarrassed by being introduced like that “Hello.” He simply said, but was more than enough to make their eyes widen a little upon hearing it.

 

“Holy shit that is like deep man!”

 

“I know right?!” Jack said before clearing his throat “So anyway let me introduce you to everybody here!” Jack said as he pointed his fingers at the first guy “This one is Ludwig, he has a very nice hair and that’s it.”

 

Ludwig laughed “I don’t know whether to be offended or not but I’ll have you know it’s hard to get this type of good hair.” Ludwig said before turning his attention back to Corpse “Nice to meet you man!”

 

Jack then continued “This one is Greaseball, and for some very odd reason he is the one taking the Physical Science class that you also have.”

 

“A guy with a deep voice interested in science? You already pass my approval.” Greaseball said “Nice to meet you, we can sit together in class as to not get bored during it.”

 

Corpse nodded, as Jack continued introducing him to everybody around the table. “This one is Dream, you two can be nerds because you both took the Mathematics and Statistic class. Oh and both of you wear facemask! What are the odds!”

 

Dream chuckled “Nice to meet you Corpse.” Dream easily said “And don’t listen to Jack, Math is actually great if you really want to learn it.”

 

Corpse smiled but it’s hidden behind his mask so he knows it’s not seen “I agree with you, Math is not for everybody but it’s actually refreshing to learn if you really want to.”

 

Dream nodded, seemingly satisfied with his answer. Jack just rolled his eyes at them. “And finally this is 5up! The guy who is in the Argumentation and Debate class! And may I add, he is really good at that class.”

 

5up grinned “Thank you Jack!” he said before turning back to Corpse “I just joined that class because I like being challenged and I like telling people they are wrong.” 5up said gathering chuckles around the table.

 

“I took it because I can.” Corpse said making 5up laugh

 

“You will really fit nicely into our group Corpse!” 5up said

 

“By the way Felix? Don’t you have to go to Marzia?” Ludwig suddenly said making all of them look at Felix, including Corpse

 

Felix just smiled “She is having extra classes right now but I am planning on meeting her after so I could bring her lunch.”

 

Jack turned to Corpse “Marzia is Felix’s girlfriend. A very nice and sweet girl and you will really like her too! She is nice to everyone! Probably one of the nicest people I have met other than Sykkuno!”

 

Corpse raised an eyebrow at that “Sykkuno?”

 

Jack just smiled “I will tell you about people you should know… but first CHICKEN!” Jack shouted as he stood up from his chair dragging Corpse as they made their way towards one of the stalls selling lunches.

 

As they stood in line, Jack nudge him before gesturing at one of the nearby tables. “Those are Peter the one with glasses, Edison and Leslie who are dating and a totally cute couple, Wendy is the girl with glasses, Abe who is really a decent and smart guy, and Masayoshi but we all call him John with his girlfriend Jodi who is nice but really scary.”

 

Corpse just nodded all the while memorizing their name and faces. Jack seems satisfied with it as his attention shifted back to the line as both of them are nearing towards the stall. “I’ll introduce you to everybody that I know! All of them are nice so don’t worry about it!”

 

Corpse wasn’t able to reply as it was now their turn to order food. Corpse is looking forward to meeting more people, he just hopes that the sentiments would get returned.

~o~oOo~o~

 

The next class that he has is a Robotics one. It sounded intriguing so he took it, and he wasn’t mistaken because for the first one hour of the class he was genuinely learning something.

 

It also helps that his seatmate, Michael Reeves, is a literal prodigy when it comes to building electronics. The two met because the first thing they would need to build needs to be partnered up. So long story short, the two of them are partnered up. And Corpse could already feel that Michael is a fun guy to be around with but also very chaotic like him.

 

“You are really good at this!” Michael said as the two of them pieces two electronic boards together

 

“Thanks, it’s my first-time building shit like this.” Corpse said but not really taking his attention off the electronic boards.

 

“First time?! Wow you are insane!” Michael exclaimed “We should totally partner up more to build shits! Imagine the things we could do!”

 

Corpse chuckled as he did imagine it. The two of them continued building as they are the first pair to actually finish their project. The professor is really impressed at how fast they are so he assigned them to help out others who are struggling.

 

That’s how Corpse met Lily and Yvonnie, at first glance Lily seems like a sweet girl with a very high-pitched voice.

 

Corpse learned quite the opposite.

 

“Fucking shit! Holy shit! How the fuck would you piece these two shit together!”

 

Was the very first thing that Corpse heard that came out from Lily’s mouth, beside him Michael laughs “She is like that, you will get used to it.” Michael whispered

 

“Michael helppp! I can’t! Can I just use glue instead or tape?” Lily exclaimed as she waves the electronic boards, all the while her other partner Yvonnie is laughing.

 

Lily’s attention shifted toward Corpse the moment he appeared in front of her, Lily smiled at him “Hello!” she greeted “My name is Lily!” she smiled while looking at Corpse “You have a nice voice! Like really nice, nice like how Sykkuno sounds like!”

 

Michael removed the electronic boards from her hands “This guy is totally insane! It’s his first time doing this kind of things but he already got it in first try!” Michael said

 

Lily gasps “Can I be your friend?” she asked then she laughed “Never mind anyone who is good at this shit is my friend!” She looked pleased with herself “Friend Corpse could you pretty please help me?! If Michael is the one helping us, he would just end up doing the work and I will learn nothing! NOTHING!!!”

 

Yvonnie looked at Corpse “I’m Yvonnie, nice to meet you Corpse!” she smiled “And yeah we would greatly appreciate it if you could teach us how to do this? Michael never does, he just proceeds to do it at a very fast pace making us learning nothing but how much of a prodigy he is.”

 

Corpse chuckled as he nodded “Yeah sure.” He easily said as both the girls cheered all the while Michael is already starting to disassemble the pieces they got wrong together.

 

That’s how Corpse spent the next 2 hours of the class, with him teaching all the while gaining a new friends. And somehow, Corpse is totally fine with that.

~o~oOo~o~

 

The short time that Corpse knew 5up, he knows that the guy is smart. Jack and the others also said so.

 

But now that Corpse has the front seat of the ongoing sudden debate they have in the class, Corpse couldn’t help but feel amazed by how smooth 5up is debating. As if he practiced for this, but Corpse knows that’s impossible because the topic was suddenly given to 5up and his opponent.

 

While 5up is smart and overall amazing, his opponent is just a genius.

 

Toast, they call him Toast. 5up’s current opponent in the debate. The opponents are picked out of the hat while the topic given was random.

 

For the first time in his life, Corpse was actually speechless at how the two of them clashes elegantly. As if 5up and Toast are born for having an intellectual debate. And sure enough, the whole class are actually also absorbed by watching 5up and Toast argue back and forth.

 

In the end, Toast won.

 

But for Corpse it felt like they tied. 5up and Toast shook hands before returning to their seats as the next pair was called up in the stand. 5up was smiling when he returned next to Corpse “Man I could never win against Toast, the guy is really a genius!” 5up exclaimed

 

“That was really awesome though 5up.” Corpse complimented making 5up smile at him

 

“Thanks man, but to tell you the truth I was kind of expecting to lose that one” 5up said as he gazed over to where Toast is sitting “Toast has never lost even a single debate in his entire life. The guy is a genius, big brain.”

 

Corpse looked over to Toast who is looking bored “Well you did great anyway.” Corpse finally said

 

5up grinned “Though you should really see how Hafu and Toast debate, man the two of them always end up in a tie that’s why the professor never put them up against each other. Hafu is like a female version of Toast. Hafu and Toast are actually our class representatives when it comes to fighting another university in debates, the two never loses, always taking home the trophies and awards. Toast is actually our running for valedictorian, so it just makes sense actually.”

 

Corpse hummed, clearly impressed at how highly 5up talks about this guy Toast “He never once lost?” Corpse asked again

 

5up nodded “Never. As in never.” 5up then paused before grinning “Although there is one person that Toast could never win against at.”

 

That made Corpse curious “Hafu?” he asked

 

5up laughed “Nope!” he said “It’s Sykkuno man.”

 

‘Sykkuno? Where did I heard that name before?’ Corpse thought “Who?” he asked instead

 

5up was about to answer but the professor’s voice filtered through the whole room, effectively putting an end to the conversation they have.

 

Corpse would have to wait for another hour for their conversation to be remembered again.

~o~oOo~o~

 

For the last class that they have for the day, Dream and Corpse met up in the hallway before both entering the Mathematics and Statistic class that they took. They took the very backseat in the class which Corpse was more than thankful off. It seems like Dream is also very fond of not wanting to draw unwanted attention.

 

As they both waited all the while having a small conversation with each other, Corpse’s attention immediately shifted when the door opens as a man walked inside the room. Corpse didn’t know but there is something about the guy that made his attention focus on him. The said guy made a beeline in front of Corpse’s seat, all the while smiling shyly and the guy look like he was trying to make himself smaller.

 

Dream seemed to know the guy because Dream looked at him “Sykkuno! Nice to see you again!”

 

‘Oh… so this is Sykkuno…’ Corpse thought as he stayed silent just watching

 

Sykkuno then smiled brightly “Dream! Umm… hello and nice to see you too again!”

 

And holy shit, Corpse thinks that’s the nicest voice he has ever heard. For some reason the aura around this guy is too bright and sunny like nothing could go wrong if you are with him. Corpse decided that he would really like this guy, even though he just met him.

 

Sykkuno probably noticed him staring, because he suddenly looked embarrassed as he looked down fidgeting slightly “Um… M-my name is Sykkuno…” he mumbled softly

 

Apparently, Corpse is still staring that’s why Dream, thankfully, nudge him making Corpse snap out of his staring “Oh uh… Corpse… my name is Corpse…”

 

“N-nice to meet you Mr. Corpse…” Sykkuno said finally looking up at him “Oh um! Do you prefer me calling you Corpse or umm Mr. Corpse…? I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable by me calling you Mr. Corpse but ummm w-we just met and umm…”

 

Corpse for some reason finds it quite adorable at how Sykkuno is rambling and stuttering. Dream chuckled as if he was used to this “Calm down Sykkuno, Corpse is a really nice guy and you can call him Corpse!” Dream said giving Sykkuno a reassuring smile.

 

Corpse just nodded “You can call me Corpse don’t worry about it. You can call me by whatever makes you comfortable okay?”

 

Sykkuno smiled widely before covering his mouth, but Corpse didn’t miss the way his eyes lit up “Nice to meet you Corpse! I really hope you will enjoy this class!” it will be a mystery but the moment Sykkuno said that, Corpse could swear that the day just got brighter and better.

 

Oh Corpse will, if Sykkuno would be in the same class at him he just knows that taking this class would be the best decision he will ever make.

 

And for some reason out of the corner of his eyes he could see Dream giving him a pity expression paired up with a couple of snickering, but Corpse wasn’t able to ask him about it because the professor entered the room, making Sykkuno smile at him one last time before finally facing him back again.

 

Mathematics and Statistics is probably Corpse’s favorite class now.

~o~oOo~o~

 

“The Sykkuno effect.”

 

Corpse was surprise when Dream suddenly said that, as both of them are walking towards the cafeteria. Although his classes are finished, Corpse and the others decided to have a little get together in the cafeteria before going home together. “Huh? What are you talking about?” Corpse asked

 

Dream snickered “What happened in the Mathematics and Statistic class, you know Sykkuno?” it seems like Corpse’s confusion is displayed on his face because Dream just continued to laugh “I’ll let Jack explain it.” Was all Dream said as they finally entered the cafeteria easily spotting Jack and the others.

 

“Where is Felix?” Dream asked as both he and Corpse sat down

 

“Library with Marzia, you know the two of them, right? They study together at the end of the day in the library before going home.” Greaseball answered

 

“Never mind the two of them!” Jack exclaimed “So… how was it Dream?” Jack excitingly asked

 

Dream gave him a thumbs up “Just like what we all expected.”

 

For some reason all of them laughed making Corpse look more confuse than ever. Jack grinned at him “Sykkuno, is the nicest person you will ever meet. Like a total sweetheart with a heart of gold! Like literally he would make your belief in humanity return!” Jack explained “I know you have met him by now, a totally awesome guy I tell you!”

 

Corpse actually smiled at that, because even though they just met Sykkuno looks like the kind of guy to make everyone happy with just his presence, at least that’s what Corpse thinks. But now, he knows that his first impression of Sykkuno is accurate judging by how Jack talks about him. “He gave me his mechanical pencil when all I needed was a lead.” Corpse felt like he should say that so he did

 

Ludwig laughed out loud “That’s Sykkuno alright!” he said “I asked to borrow his eraser, but he gave it to me instead saying he had plenty! Such a good guy I tell you!”

 

“You’ll be so lucky to be friends with Sykkuno! He is awkward but really it just adds to his charm you know? He feels shy around new people and has a hard time making friend but once you get to know him, jesus the guy is unreal because of how nice he is to basically everybody even to those who doesn’t deserve any kindness!” Jack explained to Corpse all the while gushing and smiling.

 

“Sykkuno is really a genuine guy.” Greaseball said “A very wholesome person.”

 

Corpse turned to 5up “Is he the same guy you are talking about?”

 

5up laughed before nodding “Yup! The only one who the great big brain Toast can’t win against.”

 

“Oh wow he already met Toast?” Dream suddenly said

 

5up and Corpse shake their heads “Not formally but it was hard not to know Toast, I saw him in class after all.” Corpse said

 

“Corpse watched as Toast destroyed me in debate…” 5up sulking said

 

Dream laughed “Hey don’t worry about it, nobody can win against him anyway, even Hafu!”

 

Corpse hummed “So… is this Sykkuno guy really smart?”

 

Jack grinned “Oh buddy you have no idea!” Jack slinged his arms around Corpse’s shoulder “Sykkuno is two years younger than us even though he is just a year below all of us.”

 

That made Corpse’s eye widens in surprise, “No wonder he looks so young…” he muttered “How is that possible?”

 

Jack laughed “The kid is a genius, finished early making him easily jump into collage. He is taking the same class as you in Mathematics and Statistics because he already finished Calculus on his first year in college. He is taking Mathematics and Statistics for fun you know?”

 

Corpse must have looked so surprise, “Yeah we had that kind of first expression when we met Sykkuno.” Greaseball said “Well honestly it’s not that surprising that he is also a genius considering who his brother is.”

 

That made Corpse perk up in curiosity, but even before he can question it, Dream suddenly spoke up “Honestly it’s embarrassing but Sykkuno has been the one teaching me especially when lessons gets really hard. For some reason he teaches waaaay better than our professor, he is super nice to while teaching!”

 

Then suddenly, they all saw Sykkuno walking towards a table a few meters away from them. They all silently watch as Sykkuno smiles as he sat down next to Lily, both engaged in a conversation that they can’t hear.

 

Corpse was so absorbed by looking at Sykkuno that he didn’t notice that his friends are looking at him knowingly. After a couple of minutes of just staring, Jack cleared his throat making Corpse jump a little. Jack chuckled “Oh buddy…” he said with a pity tone heard in his voice “If you want to be more than just friends with Sykkuno, you better give up that dream Corpse.”

 

“Hey come on now Jack, you don’t know that!” 5up chuckled

 

Corpse rolled his eyes “I am just genuinely curious and mesmerized about him okay? Don’t make this weird guys…”

 

Jack chuckled “Yeah… sure you areeee….” He teasingly said as he grins “I’m just telling you, there will be no way for you to be that close to Sykkuno.”

 

Corpse looked at him funnily “What do you mean by that?”

 

Instead of answering Jack pointed at the newly entered person in the cafeteria, who is also making a beeline towards where Lily, Sykkuno and the others are sitting.

 

“Toast?” Corpse questioned “Is… is he like Sykkuno’s partner or something…?” at this point Corpse felt like he shouldn’t be bothered by that, but he is for some reason.

 

Jack laughed before shaking his head “Oh no no, actually you’ll have an easier time getting close to Sykkuno if Toast is indeed just his boyfriend or something but he is much worst buddy.”

 

Corpse didn’t know but he sighed in relief when he heard that, until Jack’s word registered in his brain “Then what?” he finally asked

 

Jack grinned at him “Sykkuno is Toast’s younger brother you know. His only sibling.”

 

Oh.

 

Now that is totally unexpected. Although, now that Corpse can see them side by side, he can see some similarities. And Greaseball’s earlier comment about both of them being genius makes much more sense now.

 

“So? Corpse asked “Why does that matter?”

 

Ludwig laughed “We really have to spell it out for you?”

 

Thankfully 5up took pity in him “Toast is… very protective of Sykkuno. Like… legit protective of him.” He slowly said “Even though Sykkuno is like two years younger than him, Toast hovers around him whenever he can. Which is basically all the time because Sykkuno just let him.”

 

Dream nodded “Toast is very very picky when it comes to who Sykkuno should be friend with. See them over there?” Dream said as he pointed at the table where Sykkuno and the other are “All of those people, Toast knows them years before he finally introduced Sykkuno to them. Basically, if you want to be close to Sykkuno, you’ll have to gain Toast’s trust first. It’s really easy gaining Sykkuno to trust you and be his friend but jesus Toast is the exact opposite of him. The guy is really sharp and smart.”

 

Greaseball hummed “Well I can understand where Toast is coming from though, honestly Sykkuno is too trusting sometimes that Toast just doesn’t want people to take advantage of him like that.” He said “Although I really admire Sykkuno for having a patience like that to bear with how Toast is.”

 

Corpse absorbs everything they say while all the while watching Sykkuno from a far, up until Toast stood up as Sykkuno also did. Corpse watch as both brothers waved goodbye to their friends, Corpse just watched up until Toast and Sykkuno left the cafeteria.

 

Jack smiled at him “Trust me Corpse, you’ll have an easier time talking to a brick wall rather than getting very close to Sykkuno. Your best bet is to kill Toast, or uh… make sure Toast wouldn’t get you under his radar.”

 

Corpse hummed as Jack and the others finally dropped the conversation about Sykkuno as they all settled for casual conversation on how their classes went. Somehow in the middle of all it, Corpse’s eyes kept on going back to the mechanical pencil that Sykkuno gave him. A dark green metal one.

 

The very first thing that Corpse own that isn’t in the color black.

 

He decided that he likes the color dark green now.

 

More so if Sykkuno loved the color green.
