Why not? He's my character. I created him and I really want to do more with this guy. I don't expect you to read this. It would be nice if you did but I don't really care.

Also the music above is Crow's theme.

Crow's POV

Hanging my leather jacket over my shoulder, I followed Fresh to the edge of campus. He flipped through papers as he looked over his homework.

Fresh: Man, school's killing me.

He sighed disappointingly. While closing his folder, he looked at me.

Fresh: Wanna hang at my place?

Me: Sorry, I have to get home.

Fresh: How about I come with you?

Me: Parents won't allow it.

A frown grew on his face. Fresh fastened his backpack around himself.

Fresh: Whelp, see you to tomorrow.

He waved at me before running off. When he turned the corner, my smiled transformed into a blank slate. I clicked my tongue and scoffed. I slightly envied Fresh. He had a life, a home, and an actual family. I couldn't stay mad at him for long though. Blush appeared on my cheeks as I continued thinking about him. I quickly thought of something else and turned around to walk home.

'I'm not gay.'

(Time Skip)

I arrived at my home. A giant concrete facility. There was a sign at the entrance that was decorated by golden emblems and words.

Me: Rosemary Orphanage. Home to the children of God. Kiss my ass, Jesus.

I lived here with my two brothers. I saw some children looking out the windows on higher floors and small orphans running around the yard. They waved at me as they ran into the building.

Opening the door, I walked into the giant hallway. The walls were lined with paintings of very holy scenes. I walked up the stairs to the highest floor. There was a room that I stayed in. It had enough beds for six people. There's Quinn, my brother that's a year younger than me. There's my baby brother, Porcel, who was six. Then Nabstablook, Monster Kid, and Christopher.

Quinn sat on his bed with Porcel on the opposite end. Quinn was staring at his deck of cards that he always carried around. As for my baby bro, he was brushing the hair of his porcelain doll. They saw me flop on my bed and cover my eyes with my arm.

Porcel: Hi big brother.

Me: Heya Cel.

Quinn: Damn, look at you. Are you okay?

Me: Yeah, just drained.

Quinn: Withdraw?

I nodded and he laughed.

Quinn: You haven't been taking them, have you?

Me: I save them for when I really need it.

We were talking about the tranquilizers. Pills that are loaded with drugs. The little capsules are used for keeping orphans, like us, calm and sedate. We were forced to take them but, I didn't mind. I've always liked the feeling of it. When I didn't need it, I hid the pills in a secure spot in my little nightstand.

Quinn: How was high school?

Me: It was fine.

The older orphans were sent to public schools while the younger ones were taught within the facility. Quinn should be going to school with me but, he did something that restricted him.

Porcel: Don't we get our pills in a few minutes?

He whispered as he braided his doll's hair.

Quinn: Yeah. We should get going before the line gets too long. I hate waiting just to get two things in a small cup.

(Time Skip)

The nun handed me two pills. I stared at the blue one. The same thing that I have to swallow every day.

'Magic Canceler.'

This blue capsule can stop a monster from using magic for a maximum of two days. However, it also helps to keep our soul strong. I thought that not using magic wasn't that big of a deal, so I take them anyway.

Putting the pills in my mouth, I walked away from the nun. Once I was far away from her, I spat out the tranquilizer and put it in my pocket.

I saw my brothers waiting for me. Porcel was dressed in a kimono while holding the hand of Asuki, his doll. Quinn was wearing clothes that were more like me. A leather jacket, jeans with chains, and a simple shirt. Both the kimono and leather jacket were decorated with the symbol of a rose. The emblem of our mother's side of the family, which also happened to be the symbol of the orphanage.

(Time Skip)

It was the middle of the night but I couldn't sleep. I stared at the grey ceiling. Finally, letting out a sigh, I opened my nightstand to find my pack of cigarettes that were hidden away. Taking it, I snuck to the roof of the building.

I laid on the hard surface while taking small puffs. As I was resting, a quiet sound was heard from the entrance of the building. Exhaling a breath, I opened my eyes.

Me: You should be in bed, Cel.

He stood beside me with Asuki next to him. The doll was standing in a way where it almost looked like she could walk. He stared at the cigarette that I held between my fingers.

Me: Wanna try it?

He shook his head after a few minutes.

Porcel: Asuki says that I shouldn't. She also said that you shouldn't either. It's bad for your health.

Me: I know. But, when you live in a place like this, it's kinda hard to resist.

He sat next to me and placed his porcelain figurine in his lap.

Porcel: Are you queer?

Me: What?

Porcel: Do you love other boys?

Me: I believe I'm straight.

Porcel: Asuki says you're in love with a boy named Fresh.

Blush appeared but I looked away from him.

Me: No... I don't. I only like women.

Porcel: Madam Mary doesn't like people like that. You can get beaten for it. We hate seeing you get beaten.

His lavender colored eyes seemed to burn with passion for his hatred of the woman. Even though he was only six, his mental age was astonishing and he had amazing intuition.

After I finished my cigarette, Porcel laid next to me and hugged my arm. He put something in my hand. It was a tranquilizer.

Porcel: I got it from your hidden spot in your drawer.

Me: You shouldn't be looking through that.

Porcel: I'm sorry. Asuki said you needed it.

Me: I do, thank you.

I put the drug loaded pill into my mouth to swallow it. Immediately, I started to feel the affects of the capsule.

Tranquility

A Quick Discussion

You don't mind if I ship Crow and Fresh together, do you? This chapter is a giant experiment for me. Let me know if you want to see more Crow.
