Chapter 1 'The Meeting'

...(Lux POV)...

I was doing my usual thinking inside my bedroom, looking at my bulletin board filled with different photos of people, who I suspect to be 'Cronus' the person who I have been hunting down for a whole year now, and news articles that I found in the web or on the paper and different strings attached to it, then suddenly someone knocked on my door, causing me to get startled a little, "I am coming!" I yelled as I walked out of my bedroom, into the living room and to my door. When I opened my door I saw my landlady, Mrs. Blanchett, and a brown-haired boy, who seems to be the same age as me, with luggages right at his hand, with quite fascinated eyes, giving me a hint that this is his first time in the city, and has some quite similar features as Mrs. Blanchett, standing right beside her.

I then sighed since I knew what does this mean "Mrs. Blanchett, don't tell me that your country-bumpkin nephew is gonna be my new roommate?" I asked her with a quite tired voice, and as usual she is surprised on how I was able to guess that the boy beside him is his nephew "How did you- Never mind... " She said to me then looked right at me "Lux, as you already said, this is my nephew, Bonfils Baudin, he is the same age as you and he is gonna be your new roommate since he will be attending the same high school as you starting by Monday." She explained to me while I have my poker face on the whole time. And Bon looked at me with a smile on his face, giving me more reason why I should get him out of MY apartment as soon as possible.

I groaned at hearing that but I still opened the door widely for my new roommate then looked at him "Come on..." I said to him while tilting my head to the inside of my apartment. He then walked in, excited of the new city-life he will be experiencing.

As soon as Mrs. Blanchett went I closed the door and looked at the country-bumpkin boy "So... As my aunt said I am Bo-"

"Bonfils Baudin, 16 years old like me, from Ploumanac’h, Brittany, from a vastly wealthy family, loves doing sports activities such as basketball, surfing etc, and you have a fiance who you know is cheating on you but you didn't mind at all since you were cheating on her too...." I said to him, cutting him off, while going to my kitchen and getting the 2 prepared café liégeois from my fridge.

...[If your wondering what that is then here's a photo of what it looks like...]...

...[It do be looking delicious though ♡(´｡•ㅅ•｡`)]...

...[Anyways, continuing...]...

The boy then looked at me shocked "Did my aunt told you that? Wait a minute, I didn't told my aunt that my fiance is cheating on me and I am cheating on her, so how the hell do you know?" He asked me frantically, I rolled my eyes while eating my café liégeois "Oi! TELL ME HOW YOU KNOW!!" He yelled at me, making me glare at him "Chill...." I then said in a quite tired voice "I know since I thoroughly observed you by just looking at you..." I told him a quite tired voice once again...

"What do you mean by that?" He asked me once again, but in a rather calm voice "Just what it sound like, duh..." I said to him with my eyes rolling again and taking another bite of my café liégeois...

"Okay then tell me, how did you know just by observing at ME?" He asked me while walking towards my direction, emphasising the word 'Me'. I groaned, then look at him eye-to-eye "First, I was able to tell your Mrs. Blanchett's nephew by the similarities of your looks, second, I know your name, not just because of your aunt but by doing research at the owners of this apartment complex 3 years ago, before I moved in, third, I know you from Ploumanac'h, Brittany because of some of the pink sand grains on your pants and some on your top, fourth I know your from a vastly wealthy family since your a Baudin, and it is said that the Baudin's are the wealthiest family in Ploumanac'h, Brittany, fifth, I know you love doing sports activities because of the tanning difference on your body and because of the callousness of you hands and sixth, I know you have a fiance because of the faint lipstick mark on your cheek and because of a hickey right on your neck and I know your cheating on your fiance since you have a faint scent of 2 different cologne for women..." I said to him my thorough observation, leaving him in shock, while I eat my 2nd café liégeoi.

"Wha-what the..." He said stutterintg, obviously still in shock of how much I knew about him by just looking at him. There was then a few minutes of silence until I put my dirty glasses inside the dish washer, then looked at him "Your room is right over there by the way." I said to him while pointing my fingers on a door of an empty room "I am going to my room, which is right over there, so if you need anything just knock or call my name..." I said to him, then walked to my room "Wait a minute!" He yelled when I was about to open my door, I then turned to him "What?" I asked him, with a quite annoyed tone "What's your name?" He then asked. Does this boy not listen to his aunt or something??? I sighed "My name is Luxio Rome... But you can call me Lux... Now ciao~" I answered his question with a good bye then entered my room then locked the door and looked to my phone which is on my desk.

"Huh.... Looks like I have to make a phone call now..." I said to myself, out loud, then walked towards my desk, took my phone and dialed a number. The my phone was ringing till I heard that somebody has picked up the call "What is it do you need, Lux?" The familiar voice asked me "New roommate, so you know what I want..." I answered him, while thinking and looking at my bulletin board "Oh... okay then... You know you should really stop doing this trick, it's getting old..." He said to me, while I hear the rattle of machinery at the other line's background "Yeah, yeah... His name is Bonfils, and deliver as early as 5 AM, okay...?" I said to him with a follow-up request "Okay, see you then..." He said to me then hanged-up then call. I then sighed as I sat down on my chair "Well... Let's see if you'll fall at this trick as my other roommates before you..." I said to myself, quite excited on what was going to happen next...
