The Unique Boy

" All right that's enough Ean! "

Shu yelled as he stopped on the ground, as Ean appeared in front of him and the moment he did his face was slapped by Shu

" Why did you slap me? "

Ean questioned as he rubbed his cheek, staring at Shu who looked back at him

" Because I said it was enough "

Shu replied while his expression turned from one of excitement to one of seriousness

" But I already stopped "

Ean said, replicating Shu's expression, staring at him for a few seconds

" Oh. You should have told me "

Shu replied while tilting his head, that same serious expression governing his face

" Right... "

Ean whispered, as his expression changed to one of confusion, Shu's expression and statements made absolutely no sense to Ean

" So why did we stop? "

Ean questioned while watching as Shu began to swing his legs around

" To work out "

Shu answered, with a serious yet calm expression while looking back at Ean, who stared at him with the same look on his face

" Right ... "

Ean whispered as he scratched the back of his head, unsure as to whether be mad or confused about the situation

" So what are we doing? "

Ean asked while watching as Shu laid down on the ground

" Push-ups! "

He replied with simplicity, aggravating the black-haired boy

" So first, you wake me up to spar, then you suddenly stop the sparring, slapped me on the face, and told me that we're doing push-ups now. Anyone with a pinch of sanity would have already considered you're conditions insanely unreasonable "

Ean explained while Shu moved his head up and down in return as if agreeing with him

" Unreasonable? But I'm a nice guy "

Shu replied while sitting down on the ground, staring up at Ean with a calm expression

" By the way, why are they fighting? "

Shu questioned, changing the subject completely as he turned to look at how Asai and Arthur clashed

" Well, it's kind of weird to explain, they just randomly started to insult each other and at the end of it, they began to fight "

Alice said, interrupting the conversation between the two of them as she stood behind Shu, who looked up at her while Ean glanced over at the girl with a bit of interest

" Haha! Really? That's so weird, haha! Who just decides to fight someone out of nowhere? What a bunch of weirdos "

Shu said to himself, beginning to laugh as he watched the fight go on

" You're one to talk... "

Ean whispered as he looked down at Shu, staring at him as if he was a dumbass

" Master is very unique, isn't he? "

Alice questioned, with a smile on her face as she leaned over on Ean's left shoulder

" Unique? "

Ean whispered as he looked over at Shu who was weaving his body from left to right while watching the fight with a grin on his face

" He seems free, doesn't he? Not only that but, the atmosphere around him is warm, he's easy to talk to and easy to make friends with, his martial arts is great and his strength as well, he's like the perfect person "

Alice explained as she walked around Ean, lifting her legs high up every time she took a step

" I mean... I guess, but, at the same time it's like he doesn't care "

Ean replied while staring at Alice every time she took a step in front of him

" What do you mean? "

She questioned as Ean simply tilted his head, scratching the back of his head as he began to think

" Well, he's carefree sure, but it doesn't matter how hard you try, you can't reason with him, when you try to stop him from doing something he'll regret, he just shrugs it off and does it anyway "

Ean said, trying to explain his earlier statement, but all he got in return was a small chuckle from Alice

" But, you still follow him. Even though you tell him no, he says yes and then begins to walk forward, but not alone, you follow right behind him as if a higher being is compelling you to do so. I don't know if it's because he's strong, or because he's a nice guy, or because he's cute, but at the end, you still get that urge to follow him "

Alice whispered, getting closer and closer to Ean's face the more she talked

" You sound like you're obsessed with him, weird, considering you met him a few hours ago "

Ean replied, as he turned to look at Shu, who seemed as innocent as a child

" Weird? How is that weird? "

Alice questioned, as she placed her index finger under her chin, replicating Shu's way of thinking

" I get the part where he's easy to make friends with because I immediately became his friend the moment I met him, but, the way you're talking about him, makes you sound obsessed, and it's weird "

Ean replied, as he looked straight into her eyes

" You make it sound like I'm going to do something bad to Shu "

Alice whispered as she glared back at him, squinting her eyes a bit as Shu's laugh could be heard in the back

" Hmm. I won't fight you if that's what you want "

Ean said as he moved her side, heading over to Shu as she stared at Ean from behind

" Well, don't worry, I don't seek fights, I don't have the motivation to... yet "

Alice whispered while watching as Ean sat next to Shu, who turned to look back at him, chuckling as he began to narrate what had happened earlier in the fight

" And then Arthur punched him and the face, but boom, Asai already prepared a counter, and then it went all like, Puah, Boom, Pash, pleh, Kaboom!! "

Shu explained, moving his hands around in the air as he tried to replicate what the sounds he was making looked like, making Ean laugh at his stupidity

" Well, I still need him to become stronger, or maybe I'll just use him so that he could beat my sister himself. All men are the same anyway, they do what a woman tells them to do "

Alice whispered, as she sat down on the ground far from the two boys, a smile of satisfaction creeping over her face
