Luna Nova
Chapter 3. Handcuffs
FINALLY! Ar you happy now?
I hope that Guy's fan club doesn't kill me... If they do, I can't continue my fics! God, I loved writing that Jade's and Guy's conversation... I just love teasing Guy.
Dreamstar13: Well, Jade is a scientist and he has a lot of money and the school is private school so it is kinda to project Luke. And the curse of Dreck will follow Luke until the end!
CrystallizedPen: Heh, and I thought that one of my school year was like hell... XD (which by the way was but whatever...) And here is the answer!
Accident prone: Maaayybeee... Actually, I want that somebody will die... So somebody maybe will die...
El-xo: Please don't kill me! Otherwise, I can't write when Ion and Sync will come! Which by the way is soon... I think that maybe in chapter 5 or 6.
I do not own Tales of the Abyss!

The rest of the day went smoothly. Asch and Luke avoided each other, Asch glaring at Luke every time when he got a chance. Which made other students wondering. Some of them even came to ask Asch was he and Luke somehow relatives. Not getting an answer. Only an angry snort. Luke otherwise kept a low profile. He avoided other students and didn't talk to anybody.
And then finally, their first school day was over.

"You know that we must unpack these boxes before Luke comes from school, right Jade? "
"And why is that, dear Guy?"
Two figures were lying on a bed, touching and kissing each other. The room was dark and a huge group of boxes were everywhere.
"Because he'd otherwise wonder what we have done all this time."
"I don't see any problem about telling the truth."
"... You're kidding right?"
"But Guy, you know that I don't tell jokes."
"I'm not gonna tell him that I had sex with you at the same time when he was at school!"
"But that's better than he would see it. Remember? Five years ago?"
"Oh god don't remind me! It was horrible! I couldn't watch him into eyes for months!"
"It was pretty amusing situation. Especially when you had just bought those nice handcuffs... It's a pity that we never used those after that incident... " The man on the top smirked. (A/N Please don't kill me! I couldn't resist!)
"... Shut up and kiss me." The other man blushed, grabbing the other man's hair and pulled it, leaning him into a furious kiss.
"And remember when you just had moved with us and we had to explain why you would live with us and than he asked-"
"I can't believe that you can talk about that at the same time when your hand is in my pants..."
"That's, my dear is a bless and a curse."
"Yeah I have noticed it after these six and half year-"
"Jade, Guy! We must move away!" Suddenly, a new voice came, broking the mood. A new figure came into the room just before Jade and Guy could change their currently positions.
"We must- Oh sorry..." Luke blushed, turning his gaze to the boxes. "... I just go to the downstairs..." He muttered, starting to close the door.
"No wait Luke! What is it?" Guy asked worriedly. He had ever heard Luke bee so anxious.
"Shouldn't you be in the school?" Jade asked, dressing his shirt on.
"School ended five minutes ago and I ran." Luke said, sounding tired.
"You ran almost a mile in five minutes!? Okay seriously, what's wrong?" The blond man asked.
"I-It was he! He was there! He saw me and...and noticed me!" Luke shouted, swinging his hands hysterically.
"Who?" Guy asked, not understanding Luke's panic.
"My... My..." Luke whispered, shaking and staring at the floor. Guy still didn't understand his reaction but Jade's eyes widened and he paled, somethings what happened rarely. Really rarely.
"Luke. Was your original there?!" Jade asked, going to Luke and grabbed the teen's shoulder, shaking him, stopping when Luke nodded weakly.
"Yes... He sat next to me in history class! He was staring out the windows so I didn't notice the danger but when he turned to look at me... He saw immediately who I was! He almost fainted!"
"This isn't good..." Jade sighed, rubbing his temple. They were silent a long time until Luke broke it.
"There was something weird, though."
"Weird...?" Jade rose his gaze to Luke's face again.
"You told me that I got my name after his, right? Well, the teacher's an the students said that he isn't Luke anymore. That he changed his name after that kidnap. His name is Asch Fon Fabre now." Luke explained, startling when Guy almost fell on the boxes.
"Asch Fon Fabre!?" Guy gasped. "Your original is Luke Fon Fabre?!Oh, I mean Asch..."
"You know him?" Luke asked confusedly.
"Do I know him?! I was his servant and a baby sitter couple of years!" He turned to look at Jade, glaring at him. "You never told that he was Luke's -I mean Asch's- replica! I could have warned about moving here!"
"My Guy, it's rare to see you losing your cool like that." Jade smirked. "And besides, you never asked about Luke's original surname. And after all, they really look alike so how you never saw the resembles? And they both had a same name." Jade pushed his glasses, watching how Guy opened his mouth to speak, closing it and opened it again.
"Fine! I should have noticed it, happy?" Guy sighed a little, turning to look at Luke. "I'm sorry." He said.
"Don't worry! It isn't your fault and besides, it has been many years since you have seen Asch!" The red headed teen smiled, getting a hair ruffle by Guy.
"Hey stop that! I'm not a kid anymore!" Luke punched Guy's arm lightly.
"Well, technically, you're seven years old." Guy smiled how Luke started to pout.
"And still I'm at a high school..." He muttered.
"Yes, because it would be really weird if you were at a elementary school." Jade pointed out, his smirk never leaving his lips and making Luke to pout even more.
"But... What about that Asch's thing? Will we do anything?" Luke said seriously.
"Well... How the other students and the teachers reacted? Did they notice that you are alike?" The oldest man asked.
"Somebody asked was Asch relatives with me but he didn't answer. But not many noticed. There is many red heads in the world so..."
"Then it shouldn't be any problem. Just keep a lower profile and don't be center of attention, okay?" Jade ordered and Luke nodded. He turned around to leave the room and leaving Jade and Guy to do what he interrupted... Yeah. But when he was opening the door, a yawn escaped from his lips.
"I assume that you still have those nightmares." Jade asked behind of the teen.
"Yeah... It's starting to get my nerves. Every fucking night I'll see that nightmare and still I'll woke up, yelling and not getting sleep after it." Luke cursed.
"Watch your language young man. And I'm sure that you'll find out the answer someday. Now, be a good boy and go to make your homeworks." Jade literally pushed him out of the room, closing the door.
"...You know why he see those dreams, don't you?" Guy glared at his lover.
"...Maybe, maybe not."
"It has to be connected about him being Asch's replica."
"... Maybe, maybe not."
"You do know what will happen if you'll keep answering like that?"
"...Maybe, maybe not."
"You do know that I can take my stuffs and walk away."
"...Fine, I'll tell you. Remember when I told you that Luke isn't an ordinary replica? Well, when he was... created, me and the other scientist noticed the weird 'thing' in their minds. Their bond to each other is different than the others. It looks like their minds have connection to each other memories."
"So... You mean that those dreams which Luke sees are..."
"They are indeed Asch's memories."
"And you think that Asch sees Luke's memories?"
"It's possible." They both fell in a silence, staring the door.
"I knew that it was a bad thing to sent him to a school..." Guy muttered to himself.
"Yes indeed." They fell in a uncomfortable silence again which Guy broke by a gasp.
"What if Asch remembers my surname?!"
"That would be interesting." Jade said, going to the boxes and started to unpack them.
"Why he even have my surname?! It would be easier if he would be 'Curtiss'?"
"Because what if somebody from Project Luna Nova find him? Curtiss isn't so common and they do remember his face. Guy you don't know how large the organization is! I'm sure that even now, somewhere there they create new replicas and kidnapp people to the project." Jade said emotionless, taking his books from the box.
"You're right. Sorry." Guy apologized, starting to unpack the boxes too. They fell in a silence third time.
"It's like a pair of handcuffs, you know." Jade broke the silence, smirking to Guy.
"Excuse me?" Guy looked at the older man.
"Asch's and Luke's minds. They can't broke from it until they find the key. You know what I meant." Jade smirk even widened, making Guy to blush.
"I hate the way how you always hint..."
"That's my dear, is a bless and a curse."

Family life at Curtiss household! XD, I always have wanted to say that!
Finally I wrote this! Guy may be Ooc but hey, after living with Jade, what would you think what would happen to your personality...
But... because I don't have any other things to do, I wrote a alternate things too!

"Oh god, don't remind me! It was horrible! I couldn't watch him into eyes for months!"
"At least now he knows why you got that nice maid costume as your birthday gift... It's a pity that you couldn't use it after that night because the washing machine shirked it into a size of a doll! Well, at least the neighbor girl got a new dress to her doll."
"...Shut up and kiss me."
I seriously considered this but then I thought that Guy's fan club would kill me so I changed it into the handcuffs. Seriously!
