A Series of (Un?)Fortunate Circumstances

Summary:

Kanda is the smartest guy in school, aloof and cold. Allen is the new kid, playful and mischievous; and something about him just gets on Kanda's nerves. They both have their own pain to hide, hearts hardened by time and cruel people. Will these two become unlikely friends, and perhaps... even more?

Edit 4.Sept.19: This fic is undergoing a major revamp/re-edit. Mostly for grammar and style, any plot stuff will be explicitly noted in chapter notes.

Notes:

I started writing this work over on Fanfiction.net, and will continue to update there, too. So if you're starting to read this now, you're in for a wild ride, because I already have 48 chapters done, amounting to a little under 57000 words. This fic is very long already, and is nowhere near done. Unfortunately, and I do feel I should warn you of this ahead of time, I am notorious for being very sparse in my updates. (University sucks my life dry.) But! I will definitely finish this work, so if you're up for it, please come along! :)

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

I never really considered that things would turn out like this, you know. To me, life was… pretty meaningless. Get up, train, eat, go to school, eat, do my homework, train, eat, take a shower, go to sleep… I never really thought there would ever be anything to break the monotonous nature of my life. But I guess that’s just how the world works, huh? It lulls you into a false sense of security (even when that “security” is a state that is… objectively not great), and then one day… WHAM! Life just punches you right in the fucking face.

For so long, I’d been waiting, without even realizing it, for… something. I never thought that there might be someone who felt the same, someone else like me. Not that you’d think the two of us have anything in common. The two of us, we’re like night and day, that damn moyashi and I.


 

How is it, that someone so irritating, someone so infuriating, can turn out to be so similar to you? Why does the world have to work in such a way that the one guy in school you want to punch the living daylights out of is the only one who seems to understand you, and the way you feel?

Honestly, if at the beginning of the year ago you would have told me that I’d end up going out with Yuu Kanda, of all people, I probably would have tried to check you into a mental institution, because obviously something isn’t working right upstairs. But now… I can honestly say that he means the world to me, and sometimes even I still wonder why. I guess that’s just the way things are. They do say the world works in mysterious ways, don’t they? And all it took was one moment in time, one glorious coincidence. Or a series of them, I guess.
