Kiss of the Snake

Chapter 1

 (Trigger Warnings: Cussing)

The wind felt cool in the evening. Running along the rooftops gave the uttermost freedom as if he was a bird. His black tennis shoes slammed against the cemented roofs as he ran toward the edge of the building he was on. As he got the edge, he jumped fearlessly, his heart pumping wildly as he landed on his feet, pushing himself into a roll to disperse the force of the impact. He could feel his long black hair begin to stick to his sweat covered forehead, reaching up he pushed back his black hood and wiped the sweat away. Dark brown eyes looked up scanning the star littered sky, eventually landing upon the large moon in the distance.

The silence was disturbed by the sound of a chiming coming from his back pocket. Reaching behind, he pulled out his phone and read the name upon it,

Lady Hacker

Letting out a soft huff, he quickly answered it, placing his phone near his ears," Yes, my dear Lady Hacker?"

"I hate you for that nickname, Alexander Boudreaux. Shouldn't you be home resting after all, don't you start your new school tomorrow." She replied with a huff.

Alexander quietly snickered quietly as he replied, a grins splitting his face, "Aw. Come on Tsu, it's not a bad nickname."

"Don't even go there, you asshole. Anyway, how's Korea treating you? I know it's different from the US," Tsu asked with a slight hum as he heard her typing away.

"That's an understatement, it is majorly different. How's life in Tokyo? Still the same or did you finally find a man that can get past your background checks?" Alexander replied with a teasing tone.

He could hear the Japanese woman scoff into the phone as she replied, "You are an ass, Alexander. And to answer your question I don't need no man!"

Alexander let out a bark of laughter before he turned to the right, instantly on alert when he heard the sound of a knob being turned, "I gotta go. Trouble brewing."

He quickly hung up the phone before turning to the left, Alexander began to pick up speed as reached the edge of the building and jumped, quickly grabbing the edge of the building. Alexander slowly began to climb down, making sure that he had a good grip on the edges as he descended downwards. As soon as his feet hit the ground, Alexander took off his hood as he quickly made his way down the street until he came upon what appeared to be a twenty four hour store. Humming to himself, Alexander walked over to the door, entering it happily, however, that soon faded when he heard the sound of sniffling. A frown pulled at his lips as he turned to the source of the sniffling, a light of anger ignited inside of him as he noticed that the chubby clerk was seemingly getting up off the ground.

"Holy shit, man! What the hell happened to you!?" Alexander exclaimed as he quickly rushed over to the black haired male.

Alexander jumped the counter, reaching out to him and began to gently help him get his clothes together.

"T-Thank you," He muttered meekly as he finished buttoning up his pants.

"No problem. Let me find something cold to help with that swelling and you can tell me who the fuck did this to you." Alexander replied as he rushed around the store and found something cold before returning to the black haired male. As he placed the cold item on his face he continued to say," I'm going to find them and beat the shit out of them."

"Y-You don't have to do that. I'm kind of used to it," He said softly, as he winced slightly as the cold touched his swollen face.

"Used to it? The hell! You shouldn't get used to it!" Alexander exclaimed, his voice filled with worry and anger.His anger seemed to surprise the clerk, which caused him to become concerned, and so he continued, "Sorry my anger tends to come out when I hear about bullies."
