Mother of Pearl: A Floyd Leech x OC Fanfiction

Chapter 8

After Yuu had told them what we already knew, the others agreed to help us find the perpetrator. We devised a plan to catch the culprit. If we could figure out who they planned on going after next, we could try and act like bodyguards and stop the perp in the act.

"A student as the culprit? Who are you thinking?" Yuu asked.

"You are quick to start," Cater teased. "Actually, we have some ideas on who might be the next targets. I'll share the info to the group chat."

"Y'all have a group chat? I don't think I even have my phone," I muttered.

"I don't either. It is just between the Heartslabyul guys," Yuu reassured me.

"Diamond, this is really helpful," Deuce thanked his senior.

"It's nothing really!" Cater brushed it off while striking a pose. "Shall we go check on soe of the potential targets?"

"Let's go!" Grim cheered.

The first place we checked was the Pomefiore dorm, but that didn't lead us anywhere. The possible target didn't seem likely to be the next on the hit list. We moved on. We walked in the school's courtyard while Cater filled us in one who we were looking for next.

"Next two are from the Octavinelle dorm. We have to investigate second year brothers Jade and Floyd Leech," Cater read out. "Word on the street is these two are very strong. Especially when playing together."

"The ultimate double team," I commented.

"Ah! There they are! Duck down!" Cater told us. We all ducked behind a line of shrubbery. I was between Riddle and Grim in the marching order. Cater was in the lead. Yuu, Ace, and Deuce were behind Grim in that order.

"Who are we hiding from?" I asked in a whisper yell.

"Those two by the well," Cater pointed out.

"Woah!" Grim gasped as he saw the targets. "They have the same exact face!"

I peered over the bush. I raised an eyebrow when I saw them.

I wouldn't say the exact same face, but they sure are close.

They both had pale skin like a sandy beach and their jawlines were the same. The brothers had short, turquoise blue hair with a long navy streak. On one of the brothers, the streak fell along the left side of his face. His hair looked neatly brushed and framed the scaled earring the hung from his left ear. He wore his uniform properly tucked and buttoned and an unreadable smile adorned his face.

The other brother was far more unkept. The navy streak fell on the right side of his face. The rest appeared like he had a minor case of bedhead. A scaled earring that matched his brother's accessory hung from his right ear. His uniform was wrinkled and all over the place. His dress shirt was untucked with a few of the top buttons undone. His greyed lavender vest was not buttoned and his blazer looked like he threw it on last minute.

Ace inhaled sharply as he whispered his comment, "Also, um, these two are so tall they can make anyone look small just by standing next to them."

"Great, more people to just tower above me," I huffed.

"They look slender, but their tall stature makes them seem pretty strong," Grim added on. While the others talked, I kept staring at the wild looking brother.

I admit, he is slightly attractive. Wait, wouldn't that mean his brother is attractive too since they look alike? Nevermind that, we need to make sure they're okay. Once we do that, it will just be a hop, jump, and skip away to solving this matter.
