Title: Mistaken Identity
Fandom: Agrevana
World: Colors!verse
Characters: Aceven, Sayephuru, Seishirou
Warnings: silliness abounds. Aceven and Sayephuru meet.
Her eyes were what caught his attention first.
"They change color," Aceven realized, watching as the target of his fascination shifted from a curiously steely gray to a softer, almost stormy shade of blue-gray. That such incredible eyes were set in an equally beautiful face was just an added bonus. With a goofy grin, he leaned on his hand and continued to not-so-overtly watch the girl from across the quad. "She's pretty."
Seishirou twisted around, trying to see who had so completely arrested his flirtatious companion's attention, and froze. That alone should have tipped Aceven off, but he was too busy ogling the oblivious girl to notice his friend's peculiar reaction. Had he been paying more attention, he would have realized that Seishirou's twitching lips meant he was attempting to suppress a huge shit-eating grin when he swivelled back to face him, but his distraction was understandable.
"She is," Seishirou agreed, leaning over to steal a fry. Aceven swatted half-heartedly at the thieving hand and gave the girl a brilliant smile when she glanced up from her book. Peculiarly, she didn't blush or smile back, but rather blinked in perplexity and looked about herself as if she thought Aceven was smiling at someone else. "You should go talk to her, my fine feathered friend."
"What am I, a bird now?" the freshman retorted, grinning and pushing himself to his feet despite his words. "I think I will."
Walking away, he heard Seishirou give a peculiar guffaw, but before he could become suspicious, he found himself fixed by a pair of bewildered blue-gray eyes. Smiling easily, he dropped to the grass next to the girl, ignoring the blatant startlement on her face as he tilted his head to see the title of the book lying on her lap.
"The Doomsday Book?" he read, delighted, "That's a great book! How do you like it so far?"
The girl was taken aback, fascinating eyes blinking at him once, twice, before she cleared her throat.
"Um..."
Her voice was deeper than he had expected, husky and mellow, and he felt himself falling even more in love. Stretching a hand out, he broke out the smile that got them every time, a friendly expression filled with such warmth and charm that it never failed to turn girls' knees to jelly.
"Sorry to interrupt your reading, but I just had to meet you. My name's Aceven." His smile widened as she dumbly took his hand, still with that peculiarly poleaxed expression on her face. Turning it in his grasp, he kissed the knuckles, watching as her flummoxed expression only deepened.
"Um," she repeated and frowned, her gaze inexplicably turning to Seishirou. Feeling a bit lost at her lack of reaction, Aceven let go and sat back slightly, blinking in startlement as the eyes that had drawn him to her in the first place narrowed angrily at his friend. "You."
Surprised by the sheer venom in her voice, he turned to look back at Seishirou, who was howling with silent laughter on the grass, clutching his stomach as tears ran down his face. A feeling of dread began to settle in his stomach as she rose, dropping her book with absent-minded care on the grass and stalking over to his friend to pull him up by the front of his shirt.
"You put him up to this, didn't you?" 'she' hissed, her voice suddenly impossibly deep for a girl. Aceven stared as "she", despite being several inches shorter than Seishirou, managed to lift him off the ground slightly and shake him. "You bastard."
Still laughing, completely unthreatened by the grip on his shirt and implicit threat to his life, Seishirou wiped the tears from his eyes and grinned at Aceven, waving at a hand at his attacker.
"Aceven, I'd like you to meet my roommate, Sayephuru," he said and grinned at the astonishment on Aceven's face, "He'd say hi himself if he wasn't busy trying to throttle me to death."
Aceven felt as if he'd been hit over the head with a pan. Saye growled one last time and then tossed Seishirou not-so-gently at the ground before rounding on him.
"I'm afraid that you mistakenly took me to be female," he said stiffly, clearly trying to be polite despite his obvious affront, "And no doubt that idiot - " and here he threw a scathing glare at his chortling roommate "- encouraged your ignorance. I apologize."
The freshman just swallowed hard, unable to keep a silly grin spreading across his face even as Saye's gaze grew suspicious.
"Would it be a bad thing," Aceven wondered aloud, "If I said that I find you even hotter now than when I thought you were a girl?"
Saye just growled, and Aceven wisely picked up his friend and beat a hasty retreat, grinning widely to himself. He loved making new friends.
