𝐀 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝐌/𝐍,
stood patiently amidst the bustling crowds of the shopping mall, his eyes glancing between the ground and the vivid lights of the store. Although the lively hum of the busy shoppers filled his ears, another sound caught his attention, a distinct voice weaving through the din. He turned his gaze to a purple-haired boy of similar age standing beside him, his vibrant locks and dazzling demeanor immediately grabbing his attention.
The boy was nothing like M/n, his energy practically radiating from his body. His hair, a different shade of purple could be identified as mauve, was unique and striking, and his demeanor carried a confident air.
Before M/n could process the sudden appearance of the vibrant boy, he caught him pointing his attention towards m/n, almost like he wanted something from him "Mom mom, I want him." The young boy's mother, looking visibly nervous, hurriedly approached M/n's parents and began to apologize profusely.
"Oh gosh.. I'm so sorry for my son." The purple-haired boy's mother made an apology escape past her lips once again as she slightly bent down her knees slightly to get on her son's level of height to give him a specific look on not saying that in public, but instead, his eyes were focused somewhere else. "He is always like this when he wants something.."
M/n's parents, unaffected by the situation, simply shrugged the purple-haired boy's mother aside, attributing it to a child's typical behavior. The purple-haired boy's mother apologized nervously with a smile, but the purple-haired boy remained stubborn, puffing up his cheeks and folding his arms in front of his chest as a signal for his mother to comply with his request.
"Mom, give me that pretty boy." he continued to whine, his eyes meeting m/n's innocently perplexed look.
"Reo, no!" the purple-haired boy's mother chastised him, but it came out as more of a denial than an actual rebuke. M/n's now knew the boy's name was Reo.
"Pretty boy..?" M/n echoed Reo's words in bewilderment, unsure if he had heard correctly. Reo's vibrant purple eyes beamed brighter when he heard the boy speak. His voice was so gentle! that made Reo long for the boy all the more. "You." Reo suddenly came closer to M/n, interlocking their hands together. "I wanna be friends with you." Reo's straightforward answer and close proximity with m/n was earned with a mix of surprised and amused looks from both parents of theirs.
"Wait wha─" M/n's words were cut short as Reo added to his statement. "What's your name, pretty?"
The h/c boy stuttered in the midst of speaking as Reo's words cut off his own. He then became slightly flustered when the other boy's amused face added to his nickname. "M/n L/n..? " he mumbled in response while Reo's smile was positively beamed at the revelation of his name. "Reo Mikage." the bright-eyed boy shared his name with a proud glint. "Your name suits you, very cute."
"Ah, uhm, thank you..." M/n responded awkwardly as well, his cheeks slowly fading back to their normal pale hue now that Reo has pulled his hand away. Reo's grin remained etched on his face, his eyes turning to M/n's parents. "Can he play with me in the play area?" Reo pleaded, and M/n's parents breathed sighs of resignation before acquiescing, the mauve-haired kid's excitement was bubbling up inside his body upon hearing their permission.
"Lets go!" Reo's eager energy instantly propelled m/n to follow him as he led him into the kid's area, his attendant, Baya, in tow to supervise. Reo's dad soon arrived on the scene, and after being informed of the situation, both parents began conversing.
"Hey, reo?.. why did you wanna be friends with me?" M/n suddenly inquired. They were currently occupied in stacking up Lego blocks together. Reo tilted his head to the side in a puppy-like fashion, considering for a moment before responding. "My fingers were itching all of a sudden, so I looked at them and they were pointing to you. Pretty weird, right? But I think it worth it."
"Huh, it reminds me of that one tale my papa told me.." M/n remarked, his thoughts flowing up with memories flashing up in his mind. His gaze was currently fixated on the Lego blocks him and reo were building, yet he had completely forgotten on what their idea was as he just accepted reo on doing all the work.
"Ooh ooh, tell me!" Reo, who all of a sudden tripped the Lego blocks, rejoiced in amusement. The Lego blocks falling on top of m/n's lap, his expression forming into utter confusion at the sudden display of energy forming from his recently made friend.
"You seem to like stories if you are that excited." The h/c boy murmured out softly, dusting away the Lego blacks from his lap before clutching the edge of his shirt, he was very talkative but when it comes to talking people he recently met, he usually gets a tad bit awkward or maybe even more at that point.
Seems like you have obtained a new friend, right?

Faint yet soft echoes could be ringing throughout the room of m/n's classroom, it was a cold monday morning as usual and his body was longing for the warmth of his blankets and pillow, hugging him tightly in return as he was dreaming of pink fluffy unicorns.
"M/nnnnnnnnnnn!"
However, it seemed like there was someone radiating their warmth, passing it on to his body to help him warm off. With a soft sigh escaping past his lips, his eyes fluttered open, raising his head from the desk.
"Reo.. C'mere." The h/c boy whined, longing for more of his warmth.
The young mauve-haired boy tilted the direction of his head to the side, his purple irides gazing at him curiously. Suddenly, his white school blazer entrapped m/n's upper body, embracing him tightly into a hug and m/n couldn't help but wrap his arms around reo. "It's so cold, right m/n?" Reo teased, forming a childish :3 expression on his face.
"Yeah.." His head nodded on itself out of agreement, the other elementary school-ers were watching the scene unfolding beneath their eyes, thinking they were some sort of couple due to them noticing their parents doing something identical like that.
Truth to be known, m/n and reo were usually the most kids getting talked about, the reason why? It's too over exaggerating to the point that m/n kept getting second hand embarrassment on reo's supportive actions.
M/n had only once took a glimpse of a parade for the first time in his room's window, and somehow reo managed to hire a whole ass professional parade band just for m/n to get encouraged upon taking his final exams.
He rented a whole 5 star hotel with free welcome snacks and drinks upon hearing m/n wanting to run away from his parents when they were scolding him,
And not to mention that he wanted to pick him up from his school─ which was normal but a goddamn helicopter that landed on m/n's school's rooftop while baya laid out an extravagant-looking red carpet for the young h/c boy to walk on?!
Their assigned advisor strolled into the classroom, carrying multiple documents, which seemed to be student profiles considering on how the ID pictures that the school took for the kids was there.
"Good morning, class. As you may all know by now, that the players of the soccer team will be receiving the morning training." Their teacher, Makino Ryo, informed the students, and in return he had received exasperated sighs, whines, and groans all mixed together in one setting.
Despite the students sassy behavior, m/n stayed silent, knowing that he would leave reo in the classroom with the other individuals that were known as his classmates due to him being a part of the soccer team.
"Goodluck, m/n." The purple-haired boy shot him a smile, parting his arms around m/n away, a cold breeze enveloping m/n, wishing he could stay with reo for a while longer. "Don't be sad, okay? I'll come watch you at break time." Reo reassured softly, taking a seat on his chair as he watched m/n exit the classroom. "Mhm." He gave reo one last glance, nodding his head.
As M/n departed the classroom, leaving his dear friend Reo in its embrace, he swiftly joined forces with his comrades from the illustrious soccer team, embarking on their daily morning ritual amidst lush greenery. With the field within reach, the eager students were tasked with undertaking their invigorating jaily jog and meticulous exercises, deemed by the seasoned coach as a prelude to mastering the intricate art of soccer tricks and strategic maneuvers.

Having concluded their rigorous training, M/n chose to linger near the school's verdant soccer field, awaiting Reo's arrival so they could partake in a delightful snack together. However, as the minutes passed, his gaze fell upon a familiar figure—a disheveled youth adorned with ethereal locks of white—who seemed lost in a dreamlike state. The sight of this young soul often graced the bleachers during breaks, prompting M/n to gather his courage and bridge the gap. Casting aside his apprehensions, he ventured forth with a warm smile, asking, "Hi, I noticed you looking quite lonely, mind if I join ya?"
The white-haired kid responded with a simple "Mhm," appearing unbothered by the pretty h/c boy's presence. Ever the initiator, M/n attempted to foster conversation, "I'm M/n L/n!" His voice was tinged with nervous energy, as he was accustomed to others approaching him first. In turn, Nagi offered his own introduction, "Nagi Seishiro." his tone maintaining its effortless nonchalance.

'Wow. He's so dry..'
"Uhm, uh...which class are you in?" M/n inquired, his mind racing with concern over whether his queries may have been irksome to Nagi. The young man replied, "3-B," his gaze finally drifting towards M/n after a moment's contemplation. A subtle flush painted the edges of his features, though it remained hidden from M/n's view. Nonetheless, M/n shared his own information, "Oh, I'm in 3-A!"
The captivating exchange between Nagi and M/n momentarily erased the latter's recollection of meeting Reo for a scrumptious repast. Meanwhile, Reo, with his striking purple locks, stood rigid against a nearby concrete barrier, fixing a stern glare upon the enigmatic Nagi. By Reo's side, Baya, his devoted attendant, patiently held two identical parcels filled with sustenance for both Reo and M/n.
Reo was spreading his jealousy around the academy right now! Baya was used to this though. Does she get paid enough for this job? Yes.
Reo, his jealousy permeating the atmosphere like a tangible mist, reluctantly relinquished his icy stare, sauntering towards the pair on the bleachers. His demeanor transformed once he locked eyes with M/n, "Hi M/n. Did you wait long?" Genuine warmth graced his countenance. Heeding M/n's silent invitation, Reo took a seat beside him and revealed their matching culinary delights. "Our food is matching." Reo's grin mirrored the delight gleaming in M/n's eyes, while the enigmatic Nagi nibbled on an onigiri, unobtrusively present amidst their camaraderie.
"Looks yummers," M/n observed, standing abruptly. "I'm going to wash my hands, Reo." Left alone with Nagi, the typically cheerful Reo found his smile fading. As M/n ventured towards the external sink, he noticed a peculiar sight: a choppy-haired youth with sunlit highlights unwittingly sent a soccer ball careening beyond the protective fence that demarcated the road. M/n's quick reflexes sprang into action, booting the ball back to the astonished youngster.
"Woah!" exclaimed the similarly aged youth, his appreciation evident. "That was so cool! Thanks for returning the ball, though!" His gratitude was palpable as he flashed a grateful smile before hastily retreating. Unfazed, M/n returned to Reo and Nagi.
