My name is Terry , Terry Hatcher. And honestly, my life could not be any better. In my school people can rely on me. I love being someone that you can count on. I get good grades. I have a wonderful family to go home to every morning. I'm loved and appreciated by all my professors, classmates, family, and friends. I couldn't ask for much more. Today is my official first day of high school. And I'm ecstatic.*

Terry snatched his brown unkempt hair into a half up half down. He then slipped his shirt off and slided into a fresh white t-shirt, accompanied by a plaid green jacket and beige khaki pants. He pushed his glasses up to his eyes, leaning into the mirror to brush a loose strand of hair out of his soft freshly moisturized face. He then reaches into his jacket pocket and slathers on a layer of vanilla chapstick over his plump soft pink lips. He then slips into some white Nike socks and some brown sambas. He adjusts his golden cross necklace. Looks in the mirror once more before throwing a packed bag over his shoulder, grabbing his phone, putting earbuds in, and leaving the house, not forgetting to kiss and hug his parents farewell to which they wished the boy luck. He then walks to his bus stop to which he is met with one of his best friends, Marie.
" Ah, Terry! We ended up going to the same high school. I'm so glad they didn't transfer you to Worechester. How was your summer? " she asked, tucking a strand of her ginger hair behind her ear. " I'm glad as well. My summer was great, we traveled so we could visit the zoo. I think I successfully convinced my parents to let me have a dog now. " he laughed subtly before tilting his head which was still shaking, as his parents probably would never allow that. With a hand over his lips. " What about you? " Marie simply shrugged and turned to enter the bus that had just pulled up.
Soon the pair had arrived at school. Terry took his schedule sheet out. Him and Marie had zero classes together. So, he waved her goodbye and entered his assigned classroom. The whole class, knowing Terry rushed to greet him. Just as he opened his mouth to greet them he noticed he dropped his phone. He excused himself and went to the hallway to search for it. He had traveled pretty far down it then he intended. He then spots it and picks it up. Instinctively, his feetstart making their way back the way he came till what felt like a border causes him to fall over. He clenches his eyes shut. Til he almost immediately hears another thud. He lets one eye open slightly revealing a pale boy with black spikey hair wearing a black shirt with a human skull on it. Accompanied with black ripped jeans and a dark green jacket and a silver cross necklace, similar to his. Terry can't help but blush til he takes a moment to let his eyes rake over the boy's appearance. " Wait…Axel? " Terry asked, standing up, wiping his hands on his jacket and then offering Axel one. " M-My apologies. " he mutters under his breath, clearly embarrassed. " The one and only, I suppose. " Axel says before denying Terry's hand and getting up himself. " You must be Terry, no? " Axel asked, sarcastically, everyone knew who Terry was. Unfortunately Terry was still jaw dropped by Axel's new appearance til he finally let a coherent sentence out. " Yeah…How was your summer? " he asks jokingly before continuing " You look… different… " he murmurs. " Thanks. I'd say the same but it seems you're the same prissy prince from last year. " Axel says with a subtle smirk. Pushing Terry's head down and ruffling his hair " You won't ever grow a spine will you? " he adds, letting go of Terry and letting his hand enter his pockets. " Not that it's of any importance to me. You got Mr.Jane too? " he asks. Terry is still trying to understand the events that just occurred. " Yeah…just on my way back. " Terry says, bending over to pick up his phone. By the time he came back up to speak to Axel, he was already gone. " Just great. " Terry says.
Terry ends up finding the entrance to his class again. This time he enters late. The whole class's eyes turn to him. Axel is in his seat, his head buried in his crossed arms, peering out is his face that wears a subtle smirk. " I must say Terry, your teachers last year told me you weren't usually late for classes. If anything I expected this from Axel's record. Please take a seat next to Axel. Maybe you can learn that being on time is crucial, especially on your first day. " Ms.Jane announces. The whole class was ready to protest for Terry but they didn't wanna ruin their first days either. Terry plops down next to Axel who is staring at him intently. " Did you have to run along without me? Jerk. " Terry groans, visibly breaking a sweat, that's the first time he's been in anything close to trouble. " I wasn't going to. But I didn't see the point in accompanying the prissy prince, just to be late as well. You know, since I actually had my phone in hand I knew it was approaching time for the first period. " Axel smugly remarks. Beaming proudly. " Yeah ok, can it with the indirect shots, midnight. Terry murmurs, trying to focus on the lecturer now. " That's my little nickname now? I know I'm a bit alternative but isn't that a little derogatory? " Axel asked. One of his hands gripping the end of his desk and the other holding his head up into a proper position. Terry didn't quite hand him the pleasure of a response. So in return Axel added. " Mm…good old silent treatment. Here, if it's what you so desire. I can be your midnight if you'll be my prince? " Axel said, earning him a very hard smack on the cheek. " Fuck, that hurt. "

T : Yup. That's how I met him. He seems like a pain in the ass, and he is. But I'm glad to have him around. Usually my bonds are centered around my vulnerable kindness. It feels like he genuinely likes me. And getting on my nerves of course. Of course this isn't my first time noticing Axel. As you saw from the beginning me and Axel…we knew each other. But We never talked Face to Face til that moment.
A: Well obviously. I used to be obsessed with you, Prince.
T: Used to? And stop spoiling it for them. We have barely gotten started.
A: You know I'm too swoon for you. And I can't help myself Ter-Bear.
T: You disgust me Axel.
A: I love you too.
