A Misfit? | (Pomefiore!OC x Twisted Wonderland)

forgot it

When the cafeteria was in sight Lucien quietly left Vil. Lucien could always just eat later or just eat lunch without taking breakfast. Lucien doesn't want his corridor mate to get involved with him as corridor mate is on a different league and corridor mate deserves better.

Wandering around, Lucien took out his map to find his way to the library and pass time.

---

Lucien calculated the numbers (time) wrong that's why he's running late to his first class on his first day. But no worries because Lucien is good at running. Yeah.

Without glancing at the class section, Lucien entered inside and took his seat number 15. Phew, safe. He's five minutes early. A few sudents including the instructor is missing.

Lucien rechecked his class schedule and they have biology for the first class. Who puts biology as a first subject in the morning! He looked at the textbook at hand for the nth time to check if brought the correct one. When the instructor entered the first thing he said was "Turn to page 7."

He said they will start off with patterns and algebra. Huh? Patterns, sure but algebra? In biology class?

Lucien can feel his heart attempting to take a walk outside his ribcage. Maybe even a vacation but that's not the point! His trust issues grown another level higher! Maybe he's blind? Or he's given the wrong schedule!

Looking alternately between his seat mate and discussing instructor he heard that voice again. Do it or you'll miss it. You dumb beach.

What? Do what?! But then Lucien felt his right hand move and grabbed something. It was the hem of his seat mate's coat. Slowly looking to his seat mate who's already looking at him made him hyperventilate.

​​​​​Hyperventilate because holy moly he's a character out of a fiction book! Lucien don't seem himself worthy enough to touch even the ends of his cloth!

Moving on, they were staring at each other for a maximum of 24 seconds now​​​​​​.

Malleus Draconia-who's not oblivious of what other people feel about him-thinks that maybe his seat mate was intimidated by his presence and would ask him to leave. Malleus waited for his word. The cue for him to leave. Say it. He's waiting.

Remembering the mission at hand, Lucien stopped himself from throwing up because he doesn't want this heavenly being got tainted with his puke. With his shaking hands he wrote down on a piece of paper what he wanted to say because he knows that the moment he talked his voice will crack and be shaky.

Can we please share textbooks? I forgot mine.

Lucien slouched more. He hugged himself inside his Severus Snape inspired cloak and he lower down his hood more. Lucien did not see the need to wear his vest and coat so he have the white dress shirt underneath a black comfy knitted sweat shirt made by Lucius. It's his hobby while waiting for files to download. Just things.

Anyways, Lucien is really self conscious during classes since he knows that someone is always watching-especially the teacher. If the teacher noticed Lucien who have no textbook there's a possibility he will be called out. If that's how things are here that is.

A textbook is now sat in between Lucien's and the other person's desk. Lucien is thankful that his seat mate just stayed quite and didn't question him how in the underworld did he forgot his textbook on the first day of classes.

Waiting everyone to leave is what Lucien do every end of class. Luckily their class schedule include a 30 mins. break per interval. But why isn't pretty seatmate leaving yet!? Please just leave dear old Lucien alone. Wait, maybe he's waiting for a bit of a credit appreciation?

"Pretty seatmate... Uh, I- Thank you for sharin¬¬___" Lucien unconsciously lowered his volume.

"Heh. You didn't even hesitate before touching me. I'll only allow it this time. It seems you are quite unaware of my identity?"

"Yes? Am I supposed to know you?" Lucien don't stutter when he's being blunt. It's a trait of him that makes him just want to shut up and keep his thoughts to himself. "n-no, what I m-mean... I-I'm j-just being, uh? Considerate! I don't m-mean any disrespect- Lucien! I'm Lucien Valentin."

"Ah... Ha ha ha. I see, Lucien Valentin, you already have a nickname for me. Pretty seatmate was it? My, should I be grateful?" Lucien feels like pretty seatmate can see through his soul and his sins. Oh Hades!

"Please, let's just forget a-about that-" "How daring of you." That statement made Lucien shut up as he tried to look up to see pretty seatmate's expression.

"Just kidding." pretty seatmate have a smug smile plastered on his face. Lucien did feel relieved but he's sure he needs to be out of here before or after the next minute.

"What will you be doing today?" "Huh?" Lucien is flustered.

"If you're free, you should reflect on things with me. You failed to bring your textbook for the first class of the first day." pretty seatmate said.

Lucien wanted to retaliate. He did not forget to bring his textbook. If it weren't for a mistake... Even so, Lucien know not to dwell and live in the past and just seize the future. That's why he's here and trying to do his best. He wanted to cry as he know his best is still not enough. He's still traumatized and he wanted someone to take him out of his comfort zone. Well, his family kept him inside the comfort zone.

"Sorry." was all Lucien could say. "I just- need to go. Goodbye pretty seatmate."

Malleus was looking at Lucien as he left the room. Did Malleus accidentally pushed him away? He did not know because of his lack of interaction with others. He's sure he did nothing wrong. Lucien did stated himself that he's occupied and needed to go. There would be no need to lie about that. Lucien also seems that he's not avoiding Malleus so maybe there's nothing he did wrong? Lucien will talk to him again right? Lucien won't avoid him right? It's all just uncertain.

Unknown to them, Lucien Valentin enetered class D. The original seat-number-15 fled away after seeing Malleus sitting next to his seat.
