Chapters and Crossovers
CHARACTERS INTRODUCTION
Ash Elric (18)
Height: 5’9”
Looks: Sharp jaw, pale skin, jet-black hair styled carelessly like he just woke up — but somehow it’s a look. Eyes like obsidian glass, deep and unreadable.
Personality: Cold, sarcastic, zero tolerance for stupidity, introverted but fiercely loyal. Library > Life.
Quirk: Carries a small black notebook where he writes “things I’ll say if I stop holding back.”
Ezren Vale (21)
Height: 6’3”
Cold. Quiet. Gorgeous in a way that’s almost unfair.
College basketball team captain at Argent University, the top school in the city.
Rich. Like—father-owns-half-the-stock-market rich.
Rarely seen outside campus, prefers isolated rooftops, museums, and apparently… the library of a high school?
Aiden Elric (19)
Older twin. Reserved. Serious about basketball. Usually the referee between Ash and Axel's verbal fights.
Close to Ash in a weird, older-brother-silent-understanding way.
Axel Elric (19)
Aiden's younger twin. Extroverted, flirty, the dramatic type.
Claims to have a "fan club" in three grade levels. Not wrong.
Ash's biggest headache, but protective big bro.
Sera Hwang (17)
Ash’s best friend and the only person alive who can roast him and survive.
Editor of the school newspaper. Fierce eyeliner game.
Has an “Ash Translator” for people who don’t speak fluent sarcasm.
CHAPTER 1
[ASH – Library / Before class]
[Ash walked into the school courtyard, black earbuds in place, long legs wrapped in tight black pants, silver rings glinting on his fingers. His canvas bag bounced on his shoulder as he kept his gaze low, ignoring the chaos of morning crowd.]
Axel Elric (younger twin)
Oy! Ash! You coming to watch us practice or what?
Ash Elric (MC)
[He stopped walking. Slowly pulled one earbud out.]
Ash Elric (MC)
Let me guess. Another practice that turns into shirtless posing for your fangirls?
Axel Elric (younger twin)
[Grinning wide, spinning the basketball on his finger like a show-off.]
Axel Elric (younger twin)
Can you blame them? I mean, look at this body.
Ash Elric (MC)
Tragically, I have seen it. Daily. It's like a horror film in slow motion.
Aiden Elric (older twin)
[Chuckling softly, dribbling behind Axel.]
Aiden Elric (older twin)
Ignore him. He still loves us deep down.
Ash Elric (MC)
[Rolling his eyes and walking past them.]
Ash Elric (MC)
{Why do I even bother talking to these gorillas in Jordans?}
Sera Hwang (MC bff)
[Appearing beside him with her dark eyeliner wings sharp enough to kill.]
Sera Hwang (MC bff)
You're late. Again.
Ash Elric (MC)
And yet the world still turns.
Sera Hwang (MC bff)
Let me guess. You finished that thick nerd novel last night and forgot to sleep?
Ash Elric (MC)
[Smirking lightly.]
Ash Elric (MC)
No. I reread the entire Percy Jackson series out of spite. A boy deserves some Greek drama in his life.
[Ash sat in the farthest corner of the library, away from everyone. A soft breeze from the open window rustled the page of his book.]
Ash Elric (MC)
{Finally. Silence.}
[He flipped a page, completely absorbed.]
Ezren Vale (ML)
[Standing in front of him, towering with a quiet intensity, sleeves rolled to the elbows, eyes like storm clouds.]
Ezren Vale (ML)
Do you mind if I sit here?
Ash Elric (MC)
[Ash blinked. Looked up slowly. Expression unreadable.]
Ash Elric (MC)
...You're joking.
Ezren Vale (ML)
No. This is the quietest corner.
Ash Elric (MC)
[Staring at him.]
Ash Elric (MC)
This is my corner. Occupied. Bookworm zone. Find your own sad-boy seating arrangement.
Ezren Vale (ML)
[Without waiting for a response, he calmly pulled out the chair across from Ash and sat down.]
Ezren Vale (ML)
I like this one.
Ash Elric (MC)
[Slams his book shut. Glaring.]
Ash Elric (MC)
I don’t care if you’re a ghost, a Greek god, or a lost tourist. I don’t share my space.
Ezren Vale (ML)
[Leaning back in the chair, arms crossed. He smirked slightly.]
Ezren Vale (ML)
Well, now you do.
Ash Elric (MC)
{Is this guy for real? Who even is this smug statue in designer shoes?}
Ash Elric (MC)
[Ash pulled out his phone and sent a message to Axel.]
Ash Elric (MC)
💬There’s a random tall man in my library nest. Tell him to leave before I strangle him with a bookmark.
Axel Elric (younger twin)
💬Bro… that’s EZREN VALE. As in Argent U’s basketball god. MVP. Billionaire heir. King of cold stares. Don’t strangle. Maybe flirt?
Ash Elric (MC)
[muttering] Flirt, my ass.
Ezren Vale (ML)
[Reading Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, flipping pages slowly. Doesn’t look up.]
Ezren Vale (ML)
You talk to yourself a lot?
Ash Elric (MC)
[Snaps back.]
Ash Elric (MC)
You invite yourself into places a lot?
Ezren Vale (ML)
I go where it’s quiet. I like peace.
Ash Elric (MC)
[Annoyed, leaning forward.]
Ash Elric (MC)
Peace? You just ruined mine.
Ezren Vale (ML)
Then I guess we’ll suffer together.
[A moment of silence passed. A weirdly not uncomfortable silence.]
Ash Elric (MC)
{His voice is annoying. His face is worse. And yet, I’m still looking. Ugh. Brain, get a grip.}
[Later that day – Courtyard again]
Sera Hwang (MC bff)
So, you’re telling me the richest, hottest, and most unbothered college player in the city… sat with you?
Ash Elric (MC)
I didn’t invite him. He just appeared like a silent curse.
Sera Hwang (MC bff)
[Cackling.]
Sera Hwang (MC bff)
I knew your dry sarcasm would eventually attract some kind of chaos. I just didn’t think it’d be six-foot-three chaos with jawline privilege.
Ash Elric (MC)
I will not be seduced by cheekbones. I'm above that.
Ash Elric (MC)
{Okay. Maybe like… slightly curious. But still.}
[EZREN – Later that night, rooftop of Argent University]
Ezren Vale (ML)
[He stared up at the stars, a book still in hand. No one else around.]
Ezren Vale (ML)
{Ash Elric. Sharp tongue. Black eyes. Defended a table like it was his child.}
Ezren Vale (ML)
[He smiled a little, just barely.]
Ezren Vale (ML)
{Interesting. Finally.}

CHAPTER 2
[ASH – Library, Next Day]
[Ash entered the library with his usual routine: cold stare, bag slung over one shoulder, sleeves rolled halfway up, and boots making zero sound on the tile. He beelined for his table—]
Ash Elric (MC)
[Voice flat.]
Ezren Vale (ML)
[Already seated, same corner table, Dorian Gray still open, hair perfect like he paid someone to blow dry it with magic.]
Ash Elric (MC)
[Squinting.]
Ash Elric (MC)
This is not a co-working space. This is my reading sanctuary.
Ezren Vale (ML)
And yet I was here first today.
Ash Elric (MC)
Then next time, I’ll bring salt and draw a protection circle
Ash Elric (MC)
[He dropped his bag beside the chair and sat down across from Ezren anyway.]
Ash Elric (MC)
{Ugh. If I leave, he wins. And I refuse to let this marble statue with a trust fund win.}
Ezren Vale (ML)
[Not looking up from his book.]
Ezren Vale (ML)
I like our silence. It’s the first quiet place I’ve found since I transferred.
Ash Elric (MC)
Transferred?
Ezren Vale (ML)
Argent University has a temporary partnership with Rexford High. I’ll be studying here for two weeks.
Ezren Vale (ML)
[Finally looks up.]
Ash Elric (MC)
[Face in his hands.]
Ash Elric (MC)
I must have angered a librarian god in a past life.
[SERA HWANG – Later That Day / Cafeteria]
Sera Hwang (MC bff)
[Sliding into the seat beside Ash with a tray full of fries and iced coffee.]
Sera Hwang (MC bff)
Okay, give me the full tea. Is the tall, silent menace still haunting your corner?
Ash Elric (MC)
Like a wealthy ghost who reads classic literature and judges your breathing.
Sera Hwang (MC bff)
[Cackling again.]
Sera Hwang (MC bff)
Admit it. You’re a little curious.
Ash Elric (MC)
I’m curious how he got those eyelashes. But that’s it.
Ash Elric (MC)
{...And maybe what shampoo he uses. JUST A LITTLE.}
[EZREN – On a bench under a tree, basketball in hand]
Ezren Vale (ML)
[He's scrolling his phone, then pausing. Tapping open a blank note.]
Ezren Vale (ML)
{Ash Elric. Doesn’t like loud places. Sits with perfect posture. Voice like winter air. Smells like vanilla and ink.}
Ezren Vale (ML)
{Avoids eye contact, but never misses a thing.} (remember Ash face looking at him)
Ezren Vale (ML)
{And he's beautiful} [blush slightly and turn poker face again]
RAUL (Ezren’s teammate)
[Approaches holding two Gatorades.]
RAUL (Ezren’s teammate)
Yo, Captain! Thought you were ghosting us again.
Ezren Vale (ML)
[Staring at his phone.]
Ezren Vale (ML)
Just... thinking.
RAUL (Ezren’s teammate)
Is this about the emo-looking high schooler you keep stalking in the library?
Ezren Vale (ML)
I’m not stalking.
RAUL (Ezren’s teammate)
Mmm. Sure. And I’m not dying single.
[Next Day – Library Again]
[Ash sat down first this time. Opened his book with a victorious smirk.]
[Ezren arrived five minutes later. Slid into his chair silently.]
Ash Elric (MC)
...Are you intentionally ruining my peace now?
Ash Elric (MC)
[Looks up, offended.]
Ash Elric (MC)
Wait—seriously?
Ezren Vale (ML)
[Smirks slightly.]
Ezren Vale (ML)
Peace is boring. You’re not.
[Ash blinked. For the first time in days, his snark stalled.]
Ash Elric (MC)
...Is this your idea of flirting? Because if it is, I give it a solid 2/10.
Ezren Vale (ML)
I don’t flirt.
Ash Elric (MC)
Well, good. I don’t date statues.
Ash Elric (MC)
{Lies. I’d probably date a statue if it read poetry and wore good cologne. Crap.}
[Outside Elric's state– That Evening]
[Ash sat on a bench/chair alone, sunset painting the sky gold. His brothers were finishing basketball practice on their own basketball court.]
Axel Elric (younger twin)
Yo Ash! That guy from the other school’s been asking about you.
Axel Elric (younger twin)
Ezren. Apparently he’s into quiet places and quieter people.
Ash Elric (MC)
[Rolling his eyes.]
Ash Elric (MC)
He should marry a library then.
Aiden Elric (older twin)
[Drinking water beside him.]
Aiden Elric (older twin)
Maybe he wants someone with a little bite.
Ash Elric (MC)
...I’ll bite him with a dictionary.
Ash Elric (MC)
{...Why is my heart doing that stupid flutter thing again? Stupid book-boy hormones.}
[EZREN – Alone in a hotel room, looking at the stars from the balcony]
[He takes out his phone. Looks at the picture of Ash’s library table he accidentally took when adjusting his camera.]
{Why are you in my head, Ash Elric?}
