[multi-chapter] Immortal
Title: Immortal - Prologue
Pairing: Akame, Ryopi, Junda, T&T
Rating: PG-13
Summary: If it seems like they have lived forever, then you’re far from wrong. The boys of JE have never aged and never descended into the decay of time. For five centuries, they have remained in their prime, not aging, beauty unaffected by the turning of time. But humanity has always feared what that they do not understand and when their secret is suspected…what will they do…what can those who have retreated into secrets and shadows do to defend against those who fear the very things that keep them safe? (this is NOT a vampire fic; more like a Tuck Everlasting sort of fic?)

Time is inescapable.
No matter who you are, how important you are, or what is happening in your life or in the lives of those around you, there is no way to stop time; the clock will forever continue ticking and even if there is no clock hanging on your wall, time continues to pass, because time is not just a tangible thing; it can be represented tangibly, but time, is intangible.
No matter how one wants to turn back the clock, and no matter how you adjust the hands on that said clock, time continues to tick.
Nothing changes and nothing stops.
Time stops for no one.
And no matter who you are, you age, and there is no stopping it - even if you use beauty products to try to hide the wrinkles, the age lines and the toll time has on the human body, it peeks through the mask of youth, and slowly becomes clearer and clearer, and there is no escaping, and you eventually give up on ever escaping the prison of time.
But…
Sometimes…
Time just might decide to curse you by setting you free.
He looked unblinkingly at the reflection, his reflection that had not changed in many, many years; the smooth skin that was untarnished by the wrinkles of time, the eyesight that remained just as good as it had always been, the lips that if turned up into a smile, could still brighten the room; everything was unchanged.
A second figure appeared in the reflection and he looked at the taller man in the mirror, unspeaking and an arm, so familiar, wrapped around his shoulders, pulling him close, their bodies framed in the mirror like a portrait, everlasting.
Except, unlike a portrait, they had never faded.
They remained forever young.
They remained forever beautiful.
Just forever.

It was supposed to be this fic about them being cursed with everlasting life, like in Tuck Everlasting, and that they're on the run or something, and have to hide...but then....i kinda never got around to writing more.
Actually, i wrote a little excerpt far in the future of the fic not long after i started, but it never actually GOT that far...but follow the link HERE and you can read that too XDD
