"...Because of this sequence of events, you can actually see…." The voice filtered in and out of his consciousness, his vision becoming blurry and dark in succession. "…People influence each other… the past and the present connected by events and rituals…it has an effects…"

Thud

The sharp flash of pain on his forehead combined with the noise startled him to be instantly alert, his body reflexively springing upright into a sitting position, his heart thudding viciously in his chest due to the sudden rush of adrenaline and his gaze running wildly around his surrounding to identify an unknown threat which lead to him discovering the many eyes currently focusing on him, including the teacher, and the deafening quietness of the room. Realising his situation, his face immediately inflamed and he stared intently at his desk murmuring a quiet apology to the teacher and the students at large.

As if his apologies were a signal that everyone waited for, the room immediately erupted into laughter, with the loudest he was annoyed to discover being the two green haired twins sitting at the back of the classroom. Silently, he glared at the brothers with what he considered his most terrifying glares though with his red face and rumpled hair, it just look adorably grumpy rather than scary. To his delight, the twin brothers immediately stopped laughing, their face paling before they quickly avert their gaze. Happy he at least scared the twins into silence, he turned his face towards his teacher who was smiling happily while looking at the students. Seemingly feeling his eyes on him, the blue haired teacher turned to look at him, his smile still visible though it turned more fond as he look at the blue haired boy and the green haired one behind him.

With a sharp clap of his hands, the teacher brought order to his classroom once more. "Alright everyone, it seems like the lectures running too long and i know some of you are probably sleepy from hearing me drone on and on by now" he supplied this sentence with a wink at Splendid who blushed again, " So lets stop now- and for this week's assignment, i want one of you guys to write a short presentation on how today's society is connected with those of the past and how the concept of ritual bridge the gap of time between these two time period by next week. See you guys then" With that, the blue haired teacher immediately started packing up, seemingly excited to leave.

As the class slowly emptied, Splendid immediately hurried over to the blue haired teacher who was currently cleaning up the white board where he likes to scribble down important notes while teaching.

"Mr. Spine!" He said while smiling apologetically at the teacher and rubbing his neck, "I'm sorry for sleeping in your lecture earlier and interrupting it."

"Haha! It's fine. Did you get enough rest last night? it's okay to stay at home and rest if you're feeling a bit under the weather you know." He asked worriedly, lightly touching his student's forehead with the back of his hand.

"I'm fine sir! Thank you for bringing me home last night and can you send my thanks to Mr- Russell too?"

"Haha! Will do kiddo! Aaanndddd talking about Russell, i really have to go meet him for lunch now. Its the only time us lovers have to spend together in a loving embrace" With a wink and a quick ruffling of his hair, Mr. Lumpy left the classroom with a happy aura surrounding him.

Mentally sweat dropping at the sight of his lovesick teacher, he sighed before he screamed in fright when arms suddenly enveloped him from behind.

"Whats this? Whats this? Are you having an affair with Mr Spine? A threesome with Mr. Spine and a mister Russell? " wiggling his eyebrows and a smirk etched on his face, Shifty looked at him from his shoulder, the owner of the arm currently wrapped around his chest.

His face blank and his voice monotone, Lifty continued "Relationship between a student and a teacher is illegal and to think that Mr. Hero jr would actively commit adultery with a married man. Shame on you. Shame. On. you"

From behind them a deeper voice was heard as a hand pulled Splendid away from the twins and into his chest. The culprit was none other than Flippy, his eyes flashing a slight gold as he spoke"Why dont you worry about yourselves for once?"He said with a slight growl towards the twins.

Gulping at the murderous eye staring at them, the twins simultaneously decided that this is one guy they really shouldn't mess with. Backtracking from the room, they continued their dialogue.

"Well look at the time dear brother! Why, its time for our meeting with that certain person in a certain room at a certain building at this certain time"

"Oh you are right? We mustn't let that person wait. We have to go now"

"Oh, we're sorry for leaving so soon our dear friend!"

"But we have an appointment to meet someone"

"We will talk later!"

"Later!"

"And thank you for letting us borrow your notes by the way!"

"Bye"

"See you when your guard dog is not around anymore sweetie!"

With that they scrambled away from the room, smirking at the two person left at the room as they cackled happily away. 'Sometimes i'm not sure if those two are actually right in the head' Splendid quietly thought, staring blankly at the empty space where the twins previously occupied. When something the twins said finally clicked in his head. 'My notes?!'

"Wait! You thieving racoon! What notes?! You guys!" He yelled, trying to catch up with the twins to get back his notes, momentarily forgetting whose body was currently holding his captive at that moment. This of course results in him and the other person with him to violently stumbled backward due to his frantic flapping and his naturally clumsy behaviour.

Falling however didn't result in tangled limbs and swollen bumps like usual. Instead the other person curled himself around him, covering his head and wrapping his arms around his waist which means that Splendid's fall was cushioned by the body of the other. The rather nicely firm body of the other. 'He smells nice and warm, as always' was his stray thoughts as he unconsciously buried his face further in the other's chest to hide exactly how red his face had turned at that moment. His heart seemed to thud loudly and strongly in his chest and he worries that the green haired boy with him could actually feel his heart beating in his chest due to how close their chest are to each other.

Concerned for the other Flippy slowly moved back looking down at him worriedly"Splendid?"He asked concern etched in his voice. He noticed how the other moved closer and was worried if he had gotten hurt or not."Are you alright?"He asked as he sat them both up and tilted up Splendids chin and leaned closer in order to get a better look.

"I-I'm fine!" He squeaked, which make him even more embarrassed. As if just now realising their rather compromising position, Splendid scrambled upright, brushing himself absentmindedly before offering Flippy a hand to pull him up.

Realising how similar this situation is to how they met just a few days ago brought a laugh to slip out of his mouth. He then soon finds himself unable to stop laughing due to how ridiculous it is even though it's not actually that funny. Just ridiculous.

When he finally stopped laughing, tears were actually falling out of his eyes and his stomach seemed to cramp from too much laughing probably, he looked back at Flippy who was just looking at him with some emotion he cannot describe swimming in his eyes. He has never seen such a look like that before 'hadnt he', but for some reason it caused some emotion to swell in his chest, it feels heavy in his chest, his throat feels clogged for some reason and he just feels so so …. He doesn't know what he feels.

"Uhm, sorry for laughing..." He apologised quietly. It doesn't seem right to break the silence that seems to permeate them at that moment.

"Don't"

"Huh?"

"Don't be sorry for laughing. I love your laugh" This sentence makes him blush again. Seriously, everytime he's with him he just keep blushing. At this rate his face is going to be permanently red. He's gonna be known as lobster boy 'Why does he have to be so cool'.

Clenching his fist. He stared determinedly at the beautiful emerald eyes of the other boy. "Let's go watch movies this weekend and get to know each other better!"

"Hah?"
