( ╹◡╹)っ’･* T/N: This story is an AU and the characters frequently change the way they speak in it – we have male characters talking like teenage girls, female characters talking like delinquent playboys and Noé talking like an idiot for the biggest part of each track. They oscillate between that and occasionally being in-character, but none of this translates into the text, so in order to signalize when they’re being OOC, I use their fake initials, and when they’re acting like themselves, I use their real names. Also, thoughts are in italics.Part 1Narration: Friends Forever Private Academy. A place founded on the principle of humans and vampires nurturing a friendship that surpasses social norms, by way of living alongside and learning from one another. An enormous school in which the headmaster, of unknown name and appearance and who does not possess a physical form, established, for their own amusement, a system where all the students live in dormitories. It provides noble, righteous, beautiful and very peaceful education. However, it is also a school shrouded in much mystery, to the point where it cannot suppress the rumor that, under the surface, it carries out a research about the vampire queen, which is considered a taboo, on a daily basis. Is there an evil plot crawling underneath it? Is it fate that smolders it? It was believed that no one could uncover the veil of darkness spreading over it, but… there were people attempting to set foot into the truth behind this academy! Vanitas and Dante, agents of the Blue Moon Secret Service. They were making efforts in order to infiltrate the Friends Forever Academy!Vanitas: You get it, don’t you, Dante? We’re by no means allowed to fail in this mission.Dante: Yeah. Make a mistake and it might cost us our lives. Now, according to the documents they gave us, it seems that the academy’s secret is said to be hidden in… Argh?!Vanitas: What’s wrong? What’re you freezing up for, Dante? Where’s the academy’s secret hidden?Dante: By the looks of it, in the girls’ dormitory… where men are forbidden to enter.Vanitas: Hah?Dante: The girls’… dormitory.Vanitas: Dante, what’s inside the bag that was given to us along with the documents?Dante: Uh? Ah! These are… sailor uniforms for female students.Vanitas: HAH?!Vanitas/Jeanne: Romance is a Love Mission!S. Vanitas: *panting* No good! I’m late, I’m lateee!Narration: My name is Suzuki Vanitas! It’s my first day of school as a transfer student, and yet, I overslept. Sheesh, I’m in trouble! Now I have to run while eating my breakfast, a honey-butter toast. Geez! I wonder if I can keep up with my new school when I’m like this~!S. Vanitas: All right! If I just round that corner, I’ll get to the academy in ten minutes! Kyah!Narration: I’m such a klutz! I bumped hard into someone while I was running! Eh? Uh? It didn’t hurt? My body’s so light! My fall was stopped by someone embracing me…!S. Jeanne: *smirks* You okay?S. Vanitas: Eh?S. Jeanne: My bad. I wasn’t properly looking ahead.S. Vanitas: N-No, me too…Vanitas: Who the heck is this guy? Is that the male uniform of the Friends Forever Academy? He’s a student from this school?S. Jeanne: Looks like you didn’t get hurt, huh?S. Vanitas: Yes! S-So, hum…!S. Jeanne: What is it?S. Vanitas: Hum, could you take off the hand that you have wrapped around my hips already?Vanitas: Physical contact from a close distance is a bad move. It’ll get me busted!S. Jeanne: Hm? You… smell kinda good, huh.S. Vanitas: Eh?S. Jeanne: Especially around your neck.S. Vanitas: W-Wai—your face is too clos—S. Jeanne: *bites, but not without making the anime girl bite noise*Vanitas: HAH?!S. Jeanne: Hmmm…Vanitas: WHA—?!!S. Jeanne: *gasps* Delicious! This melty sweetness… is just the way I like it!S. Vanitas: T-T… This guy…! He sucked my blood!! And now he’s pinning me against a wall?!?S. Jeanne: I like you. Be my property-slash-prey-slash-mistress… from this day onward.S. Vanitas: Eeh??Vanitas: Ha… HAAAH?!! WHAT ARE YOU SAYINGGG??! *slaps*S. Jeanne: Ugh!S. Vanitas: I can’t believe this, I can’t believe this, I can’t believe this!! What’re you going on about after you suck someone’s blood without permission?! Are you stupid?! I’ll definitely never become property-slash-prey-slash-mistress, okay?! *puffs cheeks very dramatically and runs off*S. Jeanne: I couldn’t see that slap coming… *chuckles* Interesting woman. I’m even more into her now.Luca: E-Eeh?! You sucked a female student’s blood on the way to school??Jeanne: My deepest apologies, Master Luca.Luca: And for no reason, on top of it! Why did you do that?Jeanne: It had a very delicious scent, so I could not help myself…Luca: Ah… You regret it, huh?Jeanne: Yes!Luca: In that case, you have to go apologize directly to her. What kind of person was she?Jeanne: She was on the tall side. Her long black hair was styled in a braid and the blue eyes behind her glasses were very pretty… She had an earring hole in one ear and was wearing a cardigan over her uniform. Her skirt was a bit lengthy and she had black stockings on.Luca: I see… but no students are coming to mind… That’s weird… As the school council president, I was sure I had the looks of all students memorized… Jeanne, didn’t she drop anything? Like her student ID or something.Jeanne: Ah! She dropped the bread slice that she was eating, so I picked it up. It is most likely honey-butter toast, I believe. I shall show it to you right now—eh?Luca: Let’s hurry and throw that away, yeah?Y. Noé: All right, all right! To your seats! *whistles* Morning class is starting! But before that, I’m going to introduce to all of you a transfer student! Now, come in!Jeanne: Eh?? That’s…!Y. Noé: Firstly, how about you try to stand in front of class and do a self-introduction?S. Vanitas: Hum, I’m Suzuki Vanitas. Please take care of me from now on.Jeanne: I knew it! *stands up*Vanitas: Eh? Agh!S. Jeanne: The honey-butter toast girl from this morning!Vanitas: YOU’RE—S. Vanitas: That’s not it… You’re the haughty vampire from this morning!Y. Noé: Eh? What, what? You two know each other? Then that’s just perfect! Vanitas-kun can sit next to Sasaki Jeanne-kun!S. Jeanne: Eh?S. Vanitas: Wait a minute, Sensei!!Y. Noé: You all get along with her! Okay, okay! Let’s prepare for class, then! First period is Olivier-sensei with world history!All the girls: *squeal*Luca: Jeanne, it’s great to be nice and all, but make sure to be careful, ‘kay? So that your identity won’t be disclosed.Jeanne: Of course, I understand, Master Luca.Part 2Vanitas: Ugh… first period is finally over…?Y. Noé: Suzuki-san.Vanitas: The girls keep screaming so loudly every time that teacher called Kujou says anything. The way that the guys look at me is annoying. The vampire sitting next to me keeps staring at my direction making some sort of cool pose. Got me tired all at once.Y. Noé: Hum, Suzuki-san!Vanitas: Eh? *gasps*Vanitas: That’s right! My surname at the moment is Suzuki!Y. Noé: Nice to meet you. My name is Yamada Noé. I’m the class representative.S. Vanitas: Haah…Vanitas: What a huge dude. No openings in the way he carries himself. And how should I put this? Those glasses look superbly bad on him.Y. Noé: If you’d like, let me show you around the school during lunch break. The campus is big, so it’s easy to get lost. And it’s also best that you memorize the places that are off-limits.S. Vanitas: “Off-limits”?Y. Noé: I don’t know the details, but I heard that this was some research facility before it became a school, so I think it’s a dangerous place for students to enter.Vanitas: “Off-limits”, huh… My goal was to infiltrate the school, but I might get my hands on info about the hidden research.S. Vanitas: Thank you, Yamada-kun. Please show me around the school.Y. Noé: Yes! Leave it to me! And I don’t mind if you call me by my first name!S. Vanitas: I think you’re fine as “Yamada-kun”.Y. Noé: Is… that so…? *sulks*S. Vanitas: Ah! That was a lie! Noé-kun! Noé-kun, okay? I’m counting on you, Class Rep~!Y. Noé: *brightens up* Yes! It’s my pleasure, Vanitas!S. Vanitas: No need to drop the honorifics with me.Riche: Hey, did you hear about the class next door?Amelia: I did, I did! A male student named Itou Dante tried to transfer here crossdressing as a girl, right? Not to mention it seems he snuck into the girls’ dorm and tried to steal girls’ underwear! Gross, isn’t he?Riche: To top it off, he was caught red-handed and got expelled! Hilarious~!Vanitas: That dumbass! What’s he doing?Y. Noé: Did you say anything, Vanitas?S. Vanitas: Hm-hm! Nothing!Y. Noé: Ah! That place bustling with people is the kiosk. There’s always a fierce dispute over their popular yakisoba bread, so it’s best to hurry when you want to eat it.Vanitas: Heeh…Y. Noé: My recommendation is the tarte tatin bun! It’s sweet and delicious!Vanitas: Hmmm…Y. Noé: The infirmary is here. We have a funny nurse here, Kobayashi Johann-sensei. Apparently, when the students fake illness to sleep on the beds, he sometimes attacks them while they’re asleep!Vanitas: Ahnn… HM?!!Y. Noé: Ah, but it seems that only applies to the male students, so it’s got nothing on you.S. Vanitas: I-Is that so~?Vanitas: Gotta be careful with that!Y. Noé: Did you get familiar with the class’s mood? If there’s anything troubling you, you can ask me for any sort of advice.S. Vanitas: “Troubling”? Let’s see… I didn’t quite like when people gathered up around me during break time.Y. Noé: You didn’t? I think they all just want to get along with you, though.S. Vanitas: I don’t want friends or anything like that, so…Noé: Eh? That’s a lie.Vanitas: Hah?Noé: “I don’t want friends”, “I don’t mind being alone forever”… That whole deal where “freedom” reads as “loneliness” is a lie.Vanitas: No, I didn’t say that much.Noé: I’ve been looking at you from the side during lunch break and thinking about it all the while. About why, on the day you transferred schools – a special day where you can make as many friends as you want –, you were making a face like that, as if you’ve given up something.Vanitas: Tsk! YOU!!Noé: Ugh!Vanitas: Don’t just steal glances at me during class!!Noé: Vani… tas…Vanitas: Enough! What a turn-off! I can’t hang around a spoiled kid like you any longer! From this point on, I’ll go by myself! Hey, hold on. What’s this place?!Y. Noé: Uh? There isn’t a single student around… It’s also kind of dark and the air is gloomy.Vanitas: Don’t tell me you… got us lost?!Y. Noé: We’re not lost! We just entered a path that I don’t know very well.Vanitas: THAT’S WHAT WE CALL “BEING LOST”!!!Roland: Okay, okay! PE is going to begin! Is everyone from class here?Luca: Hum, Tanaka-sensei! It seems Yamada-kun and Suzuki-san are absent.Roland: Noé-kun and Vanitas-kun? Is there anyone here who saw them?Amelia: We saw the two of them walking together during lunch break.Riche: That’s just our guess, but maybe Class Rep tried to show Suzuki-san around the school…Roland: That means…! They’re most certainly lost, huh~?Amelia: Usually, I think Saionji Dominique-san from the class next door would be tagging along, but…Riche: I heard that Dominique-san is taking the day off due to family circumstances.Roland: Aaah, I’m so worried~! It’ll be dangerous if they get distracted and go into an off-limits area. I could go looking for them, but if I go into some path that I don’t normally use, I’ll definitely get lost too…Luca: Hum, Sensei. Can I go looking for them? As the school council president, I’m confident that I know the school buildings better than anyone here.Roland: Indeed! Then, Hououji Luca-kun! I task you with looking for them! Just to be safe, I’ll also inform the situation to the headmaster. I pray for your success.Luca: Yes!Jeanne: Master Luca, I shall accompany you.Luca: Thank you so much, Jeanne.Jeanne: No, I am here so that I can protect you at any given time should something happen.Vanitas: Shit! What’s up with this academy?! Doesn’t matter if we go forth or back, it all connects with the same path! And no matter how you look at it, this is an underground tunnel!!Y. Noé: *laughs* Amazing, isn’t it? It’s all unknown routes. So very new!Vanitas: DON’T ENJOYING THIS! HAVE SOME NOTION OF DANGER!Y. Noé: More importantly, Vanitas.Vanitas: WHAT?!Y. Noé: I’ve noticed this since earlier… your way of talking changed all of a sudden.Vanitas: Crap! I accidentally forgot to put up the girl act ‘cause of this unpredicted situation!Y. Noé: You were referring to yourself in a masculine way…S. Vanitas: You’re wro…! This is… hum…!Y. Noé: Vanitas, could it be that you…S. Vanitas: Stop! Don’t say any more…!Y. Noé: In short, that’s your true nature, isn’t it?Vanitas: Haaah?Y. Noé: The air around you feels lighter now than when we were in the classroom. You look a lot more comfortable.S. Vanitas: Ah, no…! I…!Y. Noé: No! You don’t have to force yourself to act lady-like! There might be people out there who will nag at you for it, but at the very least, Vanitas, you can be yourself around me. Rather… I want you to be free around me.Vanitas: I don’t really get it, but… good thing that he’s an idiot!Part 3Automaton 1: Intruders spotted. Intruders spotted.Vanitas: Wha-What?!Automaton 2: You should not go any further than this~!Noé: There are voices coming from somewhere!Vanitas: Something’s coming from the back…! Those are… automatons?!Y. Noé: Aaah! There are so many of them in such a cute model!Automaton 3: If you work, you lose.Automaton 4: Hooray to shut-ins!Automaton 5: We won’t forgive anyone who tries to take us out of here!Automaton 6: Therefore…Automatons: ELIMINATION!!!!!!! ELIMINATE! ELIMINATE! ELIMINATE! ELIMINATE! ELIMINATE!Vanitas: They’re here to annihilate us!!Automatons: ELIMINATION ATTAAAAACK!!Y. Noé: Ugh! Crap! My glasses were blown off and I can’t see anything!Automatons: ELIMINATE! ELIMINATE! ELIMINATE! ELIMINATE! ELIMINATE!Y. Noé: My glasses! My glasses! Where are they?!Vanitas: Hey, the heck! What’re you doing?! Don’t grab my legs! Uoh?! Don’t mount on me! Ough! Heeey!! Noé! Help me!!Y. Noé: Vanitas??? Where are you?? I’m sorry! I can’t see anything!S. Jeanne: Finally found you, Kitty.Automatons: W-We have been eliminateeed!S. Jeanne: That was close. You hurt?Vanitas: Wh-Wha…!?S. Jeanne: Easy. I destroyed all those guys who were trying to take you away.S. Vanitas: That’s not it! Why do you have to carry me princess style?! Put me down!S. Jeanne: What, are you embarrassed? Don’t sweat it. You’re as light as a feather. So much that I worry you might fly off somewhere.Vanitas: DON’T TALK NEXT TO MY EAR!!!S. Jeanne: *blows*Vanitas: DON’T BLOW AIR INTO IT!!!!!Y. Noé: Wh-What’s going on?? Are you okay, Vanitas??? I’m sorry! I can’t find my glasses so I can’t see—Luca: It’s okay now, Noé.Y. Noé: This voice… Luca?Luca: Yes, here you go. Your glasses.Y. Noé: Ah! Aah! Ah… ah…! Thank you very much! *sighs* I’m impressed that you knew about this place.Luca: I’m the student council president of this academy, after all! Erm, that’s what I’d like to say, but it was actually Jeanne who brought me here.Y. Noé: Eh?Luca: Jeanne, how did you know where they were?S. Jeanne: I followed the scent of the mark that I left on Suzuki Vanitas.Luca: Eh?Y. Noé: Eh?Vanitas: Eh? HAH!?!S. Jeanne: What, you hadn’t noticed? I left my mark here, on the nape of your neck.Vanitas: Uh?! M-M-My neck?!? Whoa, it’s true! There’s something on it!Luca: W-W-W-W-W-W-W-What’s the meaning of this, Jeanne?? Not only did you suck blood for no reason, you even left a mark?! You’ve never done something like this even once before!! *gasps* Don’t tell me… Jeanne, this kind of girl is your type?!?Y. Noé: How nice… Vanitas’s blood…! *stomach growls*S. Jeanne: *smirks* You really do smell good, huh. Hey, I just saved you, so you’re not gonna complain if I get a reward, yeah?Vanitas: “Reward”?! N-No, no! Wait, wait! Whoa?! So strong! Uoooh! Don’t bring your face closer! Don’t bare your fangs at me…! Sto…!!S. Jeanne: *bites, again doing the generic anime girl bite sound*Vanitas: GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!Riche: Hey, hey, did you hear? About Vanitas, the transfer student!Amelia: I did! She and Yamada-kun went missing in the school campus but the student council president and Sasaki-kun went to rescue them, right?Riche: Apparently, some famous vampire called Marquis Machina created an off-limits space to seclude himself in this academy way before it was founded and Suzuki-san and Yamada-kun got lost there.Amelia: What’s with that? So scary~!Riche: Pretty scary, right~? But it seems Suzuki-san twisted her ankle while being rescued, so she was carried princess style by Sasaki-kun!Amelia: Eeeh? That’s like a shoujo manga~!Riche: Sasaki-kun is a bit of an oddball, but he’s cool, isn’t he?Amelia: Yep, yep!Riche: Y’know, this might be…Amelia/Riche: … the beginning of a love story!Vanitas: Uuugh… I’m beat. To think I’d have such a hard time on my first day transferring here… The investigation of the girls’ dorm will have to wait till tomorrow… blurb, blurb, blurb… Puah! I’m getting a bit dizzy… According to Dante’s info, this rooftop isn’t being used, but… I have the feeling it’s too well-cleaned for that to be the case. *gasp* Who’s there?!Jeanne: Is there anyone here?Vanitas/Jeanne: Eh?!Jeanne: V-Vanitas?!?Vanitas: Sasaki! WHY’RE YOU… here?!Vanitas: T-T-That’s weird… I can’t see well because of the steam, but there are spheres on Sasaki’s chest that a guy isn’t supposed to have!Jeanne: S-S-S-Something’s off! I can’t see because of the steam, but there’s an unfamiliar silhouette on Vanitas’s lower half…!Vanitas/Jeanne: Could this mean that you’re… A MAN/WOMAN~~~~~~~?!!Narration: This is how my school life as Suzuki Vanitas began! On my first day, my blood was sucked out of the blue, I got lost, my identity was busted… can someone like me accomplish this mission properly~? By the way, only one year left before I graduate! Just what will happen to my school life~~~~~???Jeanne/Vanitas: Next episode sneak-peek!S. Vanitas: The true identity of Sasaki Jeanne was a woman?? It seems she was crossdressing as a guy in order to be Hououji Luca’s bodyguard, but where did that arrogant act come from?! Is she bad at acting?? Anyway, if she tells anyone that I’m a man, I’ll be in trouble! Which is why I decide to make Sasaki a certain proposal, but…S. Jeanne: Kitty, you smell delicious today too.Luca: If only you hadn’t transferred here, Jeanne would’ve been mine alone!Dante: S’up, Whack? Looks like you’re having a pretty hard time.Vanitas: Dante! You’re supposed to have been expelled yesterday…!Noé: I also want… to have a taste of your blood.Vanitas: The most popular yakisoba bread, the ice queen of the Saionji family, noisy cleaners… all sorts of obstacles obstruct mine, Noé and Jeanne’s paths!Noé: I knew it.
