Welcome to The Duality of Man, an original animanga role-play that features numerous supernatural creatures. Unfortunately, these various species have distanced themselves because of the war that occurred thousands of years ago, plaguing some with eyes that only see their dualism. While others meddle themself with their differences, two groups fight, each attempting to eliminate the other in for their definition of worldly peace. These two groups of the Terror Response Syndicate (TRS) and the Assembly of Phantoms (AP). With individuals fighting merely over their differences, it brings uncertainty to the outcome of this war.
We happily accept all role-players as long as they obey the rules and are capable of meeting our word count of 50. This does include those who are unfamiliar with this style of role-playing.

Summer 2024
Heat has broken through into a glorious summer. The snow has entirely dried through the spring, leaving to the brilliance of the warmer months. Terror activity has risen as people are brought out of their homes, leaving the TRS in a position of consistent work. Each are attempting to maintain victory in the endless struggle for power.
Since the wonderful members of TDOM enjoy the site enough to play around on it, this thread is to assist with the site's tidying! Functionality is important and we want to make the site functional even if its activity will be minimal at best!
Rarely did Yves receive the opportunity to meet people who identified as friends of his brother. Hence, the young wraith's eyes widened as he stared at the redheaded man. Confirmation was provided about the man's connection to his older brother, Gabe, when it was stated he was among his friends. The amnesia-ridden man's lips curled into a broad smile, happiness for his brother fluttering inside his chest. Their attendance of the carnival was becoming a brilliant idea since the young wraith gained the opportunity to meet Gabe's friend.
[break][break]
Quietly, the younger white-haired man watched Gabe's friend, curiosity shining brilliantly in his red tinted eyes. It was magnificently to meet people who identified as his older brother's friend. This would certainly assure Gabriel's visit to the carnival a million times better. While Yves held a close relationship with the bartender, he believed his brother would discover joy in some events via spending time with somebody around his age. The long-haired stranger placed a hand on his hip as he stated it was nice to meet him.
[break][break]
"Nice to meet you too," Yves reciprocated in a quiet voice.
[break][break]
A name was provided by his brother, the redhead's name being Loki. The pair conversed while Yves quietly listened, following the line. The over-protective actions of his brother was unnoticed, the innate actions being something the young man adjusted to. They grew up together and after his devastating demise it was unlikely to fade quickly. When they approached the stand, three sandwiches were purchased, surprise flashing on Yves' face. As they took their food and left, the wraith glanced at his brother with surprise.
[break][break]
"You didn't have to get me one," he murmured.
[break][break]
As an undead creature, he was not required to consume food to survive. Therefore, he usually insisted his brother save money where possible, most specifically with the food budget.

Throughout the week, Yves pleaded for Gabriel to attend this year's spring carnival with him. When the carnival was formerly here, the young, white-haired man was accompanied by his crush, Phoenix Collins. Unfortunately, after witnessing Gabriel work hard every day... he believed his brother needed some proper enjoyment. Thus, the young amnesiac had ulterior motives to persuading the nephilim to attend the carnival this afternoon. Fortunately, he managed and Gabriel took the day off from bartending.
[break][break]
Together, they wandered the carnival, going on rides and enjoying the carnival treats. The pleasant spring weather prompted Yves to wear a t-shirt and jeans. He enjoyed spending time with his older brother since his brother cared for him after amnesia claimed his memory. A broad grin was evident on Yves' face as they stood in line together so Gabriel could try a steak strip sandwich. Unlike the young wraith, the nephilim required regular consumption of food, making lunch among those important meals his brother required to remain healthy.
[break][break]
While they moved slowly down the line, their for plans after lunch were being discussed. The younger brother expressed interest in riding the teacups. Little did he know that somebody was approaching from behind while he planned more things to attend with his brother. The wraith stiffened, a soft 'eep' leaving his lips as a man's voice reached his ears. The younger Levora child glanced behind them, discovering a man with long, red hair and golden eyes. Slowly, Yves' eyes flitted between his brother and the stranger, waiting for an explanation.
[break][break]
The responsibility to decide the redhead's attendance of their group was soon weighed onto his shoulders, no introduction given. Shyly, Yves glanced up at the stranger who he assumed was Gabe's close friend.
[break][break]
"Um... that's okay... but who is he?" Yves answered Gabe before giving his question.
[break][break]
Eyes gleamed curiously at Gabriel as Yves stared him, a little anxious by the presence of a stranger. Alas, the younger brother's intention was to assure the albino received a proper break. After everything his brother completed to assist Yves in maintaining a proper life, he considered it necessary to agree.

The white-haired wraith’s eyes beamed at his older brother, a broad grin stretching across his lips. Red eyes glittered with excitement as he observed Gabe. There was usually happiness created when his brother was around. The older male became a guardian to the unfortunate amnesiac, protecting him from harm and providing the essentials. It made Yves appreciative of everything Gabe accomplished for him or assisted with. There was simply few activities greater than spending time with his older brother.
[break][break]
Anybody aware of Yves' situation knew he primarily relied on his brother for studies and general care. Without Gabe's help, the young white-haired wraith would have been left somewhere to rot, uncertain and frightened. Despite his brother's requirements to work, Yves found investing time in his brother to be a marvelous thing. Thus, a giddy young wraith clapped his hands together excitedly, eyes closed as he gave a few happy jumps. He loved spending time around Gabe, especially since the older male was among the few people Yves could remain calm around.
[break][break]
The wraith ceased action when Gabe inquired about where he would like to go. He... never thought that far into the future... Thought displayed on Yves' expression as his hands returned to his sides.
[break][break]
"Um... I don't know," he murmured.
[break][break]
Already, Yves was aware he could pick anywhere and Gabe would move mountains to reach whatever destination stated. His older brother enjoyed spoiler him, and the younger male was thoroughly aware of that. The white-haired young man shrugged at Gabriel.
[break][break]
"Well... we can just stay in and play board games," Yves suggested with a grin. "After we shop of course."
[break][break]
Board games were a cheaper solution and furthermore, usually collected dust in the closet because they lacked use. They could attend the stores before returning for some easy fun-making. A soft 'oh' escaped Yves' face as he turned, scurrying to where he left his brother's supper. The wraith glanced over the delicious pizza, checking how hot it was before grabbing a knife to cut the circle into slices.

The scents of pizza began filling the apartment, the delightful smell somewhat distracting Yves from his book. A broad smile stretched across the wraith's lips as he read his book. Happiness filled the amnesiac as he kicked his feet. He enjoyed doing these tasks for his brother to secure his glee. Focus was split between his book and the cooking pizza. Occasionally, the wraith glanced at the oven, eyes gazing through the glass. The lit interior of the oven allowed Yves a proper view of the cooking food, the melting cheese starting to become appearing.
[break][break]
The younger white-haired man leaned back in the kitchen chair as he waited. Only minutes later, the melody of jingling keys breached Yves' mind. Quickly, his eyes flitted towards the doorway, locking on it as the door was unlocked. A grin immediately stretched across the amnesiac's face. The bookmark was placed inside the book pages before placing the closed book on the table beside him. The red-eyed young man stood from his chair, happily scurrying towards the front door of the apartment to greet his older brother.
[break][break]
The door swung open, revealing his older brother. Excitement filled Yves' veins as he smiled at his brother.
[break][break]
"Welcome home," he gleefully said.
[break][break]
An enthusiastic nod happened as Yves followed closely behind his older brother. Once the grocery bags were placed onto the table, Yves moved closer to assist with organizing the purchased items. The pizza's scent was complimented, followed by a hair ruffle courtesy of his brother. A giggle escaped Yves' lips as his brother ruffled his hair, his large red eyes gleaming as he stared up at him. A gasp left the wraith's lips when the Gabe handed him the book and movie. He bounced on the balls of his feet as with exhilaration!
[break][break]
"Thank you!" He said, joyfully gazing at the items in his hand.
[break][break]
Shortly afterwards, he placed the pair of items onto the table and started putting groceries away. Everything was quickly stored away into the cupboards, refrigerator or whatever else was inside the bag. When everything was put in the correct location before the timer rang. Oven mitts were grabbed with some holders placed on the oven. He grabbed the pan, sliding it out and placing it on top of the oven. The door was closed not long afterwards. Bad news was mentioned, prompting Yves to stiffen as the oven mitts were slipped off.
[break][break]
The wraith glanced over at Gabriel, expression displaying concern as he explained. A frown touched the amnesiac's face when his brother mentioned work, but a smile soon brightened his countenance.
[break][break]
"NO! That's awesome!" Yves happily responded, a broad smile tracing his lips.
[break][break]
An entire evening spent with his caring older brother sounded incredible. Those occasions were rare because of Gabe's requirement to work, thus Yves planned on reveling in the thought.

Cold temperatures always haunted the outdoors during the winter months, frequently keeping people inside. Currently, snow lazily fell from grey clouds, drifting slighting in the subtle breeze. Clenched in Yves' hands was a broomstick as he glanced out the window, admiring the breath-taking winter scenery. A calming presence arrived whenever the wraith witnessed the gently, falling particles. This was his fourth winter since his premature death on a frigid, January day, however, Yves paid little mind to the passing days.
[break][break]
He preferred to avoid thoughts of the incident which claimed his life. Somehow he managed to enjoy a fresh snowfall, but it was impart to the serene nature of falling snow. The sounds of the radio played through the apartment, gentle music filling his ears. The young man's fixation returned to sweeping the floor of their home. Stationed on the table, hiding beneath a t-towel was freshly mixed pizza dough from a Kraft Make Your Own Pizza package he purchased at the store. There was determination to surprise his brother with his favourite pizza for supper.
[break][break]
These little things Yves could accomplish to manifest happiness for Gabe felt special. Hence why the wraith cooked the meals, cleaned the apartment, did the laundry among other household chores. A majority of his time was spent in the apartment, studying for school, therefore he considered it his duty. As a result, the apartment was subjected to daily cleaning, assuring dust failed to conquer any surface or dishes did not pile up. Quickly, Yves swept the dirt into the pan before pouring it cleanly into the trashcan.
[break][break]
Afterwards, the dust pan was secured to the broom before being shoved into the closet. Hands were washed before Yves revealed the risen pizza dough. A smile stretched across the wraith's face as he grabbed a circular pan and the margarine container before setting them on the table. With a piece of paper towel, he buttered the surface of the pan, the metal gleaming from the coating. Once finished, he grabbed the dough, placing it on a separate cutting to carefully flour and kneed the dough. Shortly afterwards, the dough was transferred to the pan, his hands buttered and the thorough process began.
[break][break]
Minutes passed as Yves shaped the dough to the pan, grabbed the sauce and to spread it across the surface. The process took time, the wraith ignoring the clock and his phone while he distributed toppings. Cheese was carefully sprinkled across the surface, an even array with the proper amount Gabriel enjoyed. A content smile stretched across the younger brother's face as he slid the pizza into the oven. If everything went according to plan, the pizza would be out when Gabe returned home. The young wraith wished to assure his brother's pizza would not be cold upon coming home.
[break][break]
Under the belief there would be no unexpected surprises, Yves grabbed a timer, set it for ten minutes before grabbing his book for novel study. While he awaited for Gabe to return home and the pizza to cook, the student happily read his book while occasionally glancing up at the cooking pizza.

Successfully completing his homework was an incredible event for Yves, thus he grinned broadly as he sorted his items into their expected locations; organization needed maintenance considering his horrendous memory. There was a broad grin which stretched across Yves' as he grabbed the binder, zipping it closed. Afterwards, he picked up the large textbook, shoving it into the front folder before securing it close with the use of the velcro. Once everything was packed up, Yves placed the binder on his arm, balancing it on his arm. The pencils were snatched off the table in a handful, the wraith glancing at Phoenix and providing an appreciative smile. The white-haired amnesiac was extremely grateful for the assistance his close friend gave. Words were absent as Yves paused, attempting to create a sentence which could best display how appreciative he was for Phoenix taking the time to assist him with his homework. When Phoenix stated he needed to leave since there were objectives to complete before their time together at the carnival. There was a small frown that touched Yves' face, a slight sadness transcending over him at the thought of Phoenix leaving.
[break][break]
"Oh... okay... Um," Yves answered nervously.
[break][break]
Despite having several items to carry, Yves followed Phoenix to the door, smiling at the time provided. The wraith gave a nod in response, his grin returning as he fantasized about their date.
[break][break]
"Have a good night, Phoenix... and... um... thank you so much!" Yves exclaimed behind him.
[break][break]
Once his friend left, the white-haired man closed the front door, a sigh of happiness escaping his mouth. Afterwards, he returned to his room and packed up his items. When the organization was assured, the wraith did some recreational activities before preparing supper for his brother. Excitement remained evident as Yves prepared himself mentally for tomorrow's activity.

Nervousness grasped Yves as he struggled with the peculiar trigonometry question. Schooling was crucial for a successful future full of prosperity, at least, based on the information he received from his educational assistant and his family members. When the time arrived for the young wraith to move out, he wished to be prepared for the future, although, he hoped to avoid facing it alone. Thoughts of the future resulted in the white-haired man briefly glancing at Phoenix, a slight red painted across his cheeks while he watched the handsome hellhound assist on the difficult question. There were instances where the wraith was known to fantasize about a future spent in endless matrimony with Phoenix. Despite his temper, Yves found the mysterious man to be someone he easily connected with. Whenever his temperament was absent, the magician was enjoyable to spend time with, resulting in a plethora of delightful conversations between the pair. Unfortunately, Yves was uncertain about Phoenix's thoughts on marriage, dating or him in general. They were obviously mutually considered friends, but the white-haired man always wondered how deep their connection was.
[break][break]
Unfortunately, only a telepathic link could possible make him privy to the brunette's personal thoughts and feelings; all he could do was pray. Once Phoenix was able to teach him how to get the correct answer and generally accomplish the question, Yves nodded and began working again. Eventually, he settled back into a steady pace of completing math questions, which brought a small smile to the wraith's face. There were only a few more questions remaining, the amnesiac smiling broadly when he finished the last of the assigned questions.
[break][break]
"I... I did it!" He said in a quiet exclaim.
[break][break]
Pride surged through Yves' chest as he stared gleefully at the completed inquiries numbered on his paper. The young man was overzealous about getting the entirety of his work done. After a few moments, he began gathering the pencils into a neat pile to later return to his pencil case. The tracks of the binder were popped open with a loud click, the paper was placed into its designated location. Glee remained evident on the wraith's face as he finished packing up his items since he was satisfied with the completed work.

Nervousness was intense as Yves grasped the pencil, eyes slowly fixating on the magnificently etched numbers in the paper. Properly written work sprawled across the paper, displaying his comprehension of the material. Unfortunately, concentration was difficult after worrying about Phoenix and believing he saw body parts which should be considered private between friends. Despite praying to begin a relationship with Phoenix one day, the wraith was unprepared to view anything of the sort; he at least desired to possibly date his crush for approximately a year before even considering such a notion. Anxiously, the wraith’s fingers adjusted on the pencil, fiddling with the writing utensil as he chewed his nervous lip. With little resistance, the symptoms of shyness manifested, Yves, struggling to focus on homework despite the threats of potentially missing his date opportunity. Finally, he had worked the nerve to ask Phoenix if he would wish to go somewhere with him but was struggling to complete the objectives which would allow for that.
[break][break]
When his crush mentioned work, the white-haired amnesiac nodded, although, failed to comprehend why work would result in Phoenix screaming into the phone’s microphone. However, he refused to question it and instead sucked a deep breath into his lung. The exhale was slow and gentle, the breath evidently designed for calming. Nerves gradually soothed after a few moments, Yves returning to the rhythm of completing the questions. There was a nod provided at Phoenix’s offer of help, but for a few moments, the white-haired man was steadily getting through the trigonometry homework. As questions were completed, they became harder, reaching a point where Yves stared nervously at a difficult question which required him to draw the triangle based on the description above and discover the length between point A and B.
[break][break]
“Um… Phoenix… this one is weird,” he murmured, voice becoming higher in pitch.
[break][break]
The wraith’s eyes briefly flitted between his crush and the complicated question. The difficulty of the question was twisting Yves’ thoughts as he attempted to understand how to draw the triangle, set up the angles and determined the information desired. Difficult questions always arrived near the end of assignments and confused the white-haired student a majority of the time.

Flustered, embarrassed and nervous, Yves' fingers erratically tapped against the edge of the table, the wraith attempting to avoid displaying his inner emotions; usually when anxious, he wrung his hands. Unfortunately, the intense mortification of potentially witnessing Phoenix in a private moment was nerve-wracking to the amnesiac. There were certain parts of the body considered private, clandestine views reserved for romantically intimate individual or under circumstances of requiring medical assistance. Those were the only situations where somebody could see what Yves believed he nearly viewed. Nervous breaths quickly entered Yves' lungs, exiting hastily because of the building anxieties. What if Phoenix thought he was a pervert?! Should his crush had happened to notice his peeking, there could be an upsetting incident to come.
[break][break]
The nervousness was amped up when he heard footsteps approaching the table, an anxious squeak escaping Yves' mouth as he scooted his seat closer to the table. The inquiry about his health state made the wraith stiffen, as he attempted a nervous grin at his crush, however, it remained awkwardly large.
[break][break]
"J-just fine!" He exclaimed quickly.
[break][break]
Initially, Yves believed he could successfully create the illusion of never moving from the table, however, he was promptly proven wrong when Phoenix explained his behaviour. The redness consumed the wraith's face as he glanced away, thoroughly flustered by his crush witnessing his concern peek into the washroom.
[break][break]
"I'M SORRY!" He exclaimed, evidently apologetic about peeking in while Phoenix was in the facilities. "I... I was worried! You shouted and I wanted to make sure you were okay!"
[break][break]
The embarrassed wraith had nothing else to say in reaction to what he could have potentially seen if Phoenix was indeed using the washroom. Eventually, everything returned to the homework, Yves gasping when his crush stated they would work on homework if he had a fever. Immediately, the white-haired amnesiac snatched the pencil and settled down to start working on the trigonometry homework.

Gleefully, Yves’ legs kicked back and forth, excitement overflowing through his body at the sheer thought of enjoying an entire day of carnival adventures and time with Phoenix. Concentrating on homework became a difficult task the longer the white-haired wraith pondered tomorrow’s outing. Part of him wished Gabe could attend, but Yves oftentimes assumed his big brother needed to work. Furthermore, private time with his crush would allow for an improved connection between them, the young wraith praying the hellhound would notice him more romantically. There were dreams about Phoenix dressing in formal wear and requesting him for a dance, although, those fantasies would need to wait. Imagining these ideas resulted in a faint, pink hue touching Yves' cheeks as he proceeded with homework. Joy, excitement and nervous manifested in the white-haired man, mingling together as Phoenix continued assisting him with the trigonometry homework. Their plans were created, making for happiness and excitement, however, Yves remained anxious as he stayed close to the hellhound throughout the homework assistance. Those were the natural emotions which settled in whenever he enjoyed time with his crush, but he was only bothered by the self-consciousness which occasionally entered his mind.
[break][break]
The sounds of a phone notification echoed through the kitchen, Yves glancing around briefly until he noticed Phoenix produce his phone. Momentarily, the wraith watched as his crush excused himself from the table to answer his cellphone. Presumably, the call was from work, making Yves wonder if it was related to his magician work or perhaps the second job he was unaware of until recently. Quietly, the young wraith proceeded on his homework, refusing to make noise to avoid interrupting Phoenix's phone call. As he gradually managed through a few questions, Yves suddenly got startled by an abrupt outburst behind him. Immediately, he stiffened, eyes widening as Phoenix snapped. Attention was entirely provided to the current situation, Yves checking over his shoulder where he noticed the hellhound walking in a different direction. Worry touched Yves' face, his eyes softening and a small frown reaching his lips. In a careful motion, he slid from the chair, quickly walking over the cold floor to follow Phoenix, and from a distance, Yves realized where his crush was. A gasp escaped the wraith's throat as he noticed the man near the toilet, which implied the hellhound merely wished to use the facilities.
[break][break]
Several backpedalled steps were taken before the white-haired man turned, scurrying towards the kitchen table, his heart racing rapidly. He jumped into his seat, settling quickly as his face turned a bright shade of embarrassed red. Breaths were quicker as he stared ahead, refusing to turn even as he heard the gentle flushing sound.

Homework was becoming easier as Phoenix assisted Yves in a positive manner, resulting in a small smile remaining on the white-haired man's face as they worked together to learn trigonometry. Fantasies roamed through the amnesiac's head, his thoughts fixating on the notion of impressing his educational assistance making him extremely excited. Under most circumstances, he returned requiring help with numerous questions, thus potentially receiving praise for finding somebody to assist him with the material made Yves happy. However, when inquired about tomorrow's "date", the wraith's excitement and fantasizing fixated on a different target. Hope filled Yves, the amnesiac keeping his primary goal in mind for this particular date, this one was related to potentially displaying his best traits to convince Phoenix to request a relationship. Months after becoming closer to the hellhound, the wraith began crushing hard on the incredible individual who manifested endless joy. The compliment on his adorable reaction made the blush more intense. Red covered Yves' face entirely, cheeks, the bridge of his nose and even his forehead as he became flustered.
[break][break]
Inside his chest, Yves' heart slammed into his sternum, nervous excitement over Phoenix's opinion transcending over the white-haired amnesiac. The agreement to take him to the carnival made a bashful smile touch, although, Yves glanced away to hide the red blush.
[break][break]
"Th-thank you," he responded quietly.
[break][break]
There were slight hints of happiness evident in Yves' voice as he gleefully thought about their incredible day to arrive at the carnival. Any days spent alongside Phoenix were among the greatest in the young wraith's life, thus excitement filled his veins. Tomorrow would definitely become a fantastic day, but first, he needed to accomplish his homework.

Red remained painted across Yves' cheeks as he stationed himself in the chair, textbook, binder and pencils properly assembled in front of him in preparation for upcoming homework. Anxiety remained high as the wraith glanced towards Phoenix before flitting back to the binder. A deep breath entered his lungs, Yves carefully scooting his chair closer to his crush, the items required for homework being slid closer as well. The calming breaths proceeded as the white-haired man prayed his earlier fright created by a pencil falling did not result in Phoenix believing he was pathetic. Self-consciously, Yves worried about the opinions of others, but most importantly, his brunette crush who filled his days with endless happiness. Benevolent and sweet were the traits which described Phoenix, especially considering he was the knight who arrived to assist in helping with his homework. Slowly, the wraith grabbed the pencil and patiently waited, warranting Phoenix a moment to review the assignment and know exactly what he would be assisting with. Quietly, the wraith watched as the hellhound assessed the information, slowly becoming entranced by Phoenix's handsome face as he read the information.
[break][break]
When his crush's eyes flitted towards him, a smile lighting his face which resulted in Yves' heart fluttering wildly in response. Witnessing a smile stretch across Phoenix's face was incredible. The redness of his blush increased as the wraith bashfully glanced away from his crush. Gradually, they dived into the work, Yves struggling near the beginning because of his flustered emotions making it difficult to focus, but promptly entered a pattern. As they continued through the work, the amnesiac began getting a better grasp on trigonometry as time proceeded. Midway through the study lesson, Yves heard Phoenix inquire about the carnival which promptly resulted in Yves' heart racing in response as red blossomed on his cheeks. An enthusiastic nod was provided, the wraith refusing to allow his opportunity to spend time with Phoenix slip away.
[break][break]
"Y-yes, please!" He exclaimed.
[break][break]
Immediately, the blush intensified as Yves realized how loud his exclamation was. Inside his chest, the wraith's heart thumped against his sternum as he glanced away to hide the embarrassed expression on his face.

Enhanced dexterity secretly worked behind Yves' steps as he proceeded to walk across the cold wooden floor which surrounded his feet. Once he arrived at the table, he dumped the books, pencils and his phone onto the kitchen table. The items thumped against the wooden surface of the table, piling onto it in a messy manner, sliding until steadying. Pencils collided with the surface, rolling across the table in random directions as Yves quickly organized the items across the surface until hearing a pencil collide with the tiled floor of the carpet. A quiet squeak escaped his mouth, the sound easily startling the jumpy wraith. Hastily, the white-haired man ceased organization and plucked the pencil from the floor, placing it onto the table and gathering the pencils together into a small row of writing utensils. Red graced his cheeks, making it obvious Yves was embarrassed from being startled by a falling pencil. Pencils were definitely not frightening tools, and he managed to release a startled squeak from the minor incident, a pathetic achievement he believed. Quickly, Yves sorted the books, placing the textbook between himself and Phoenix while his binder's looseleaf remained closest to him.
[break][break]
Quickly, he grabbed a pencil before sparing a brief glance at Phoenix. His crush appeared lovely, the benevolent decision to assist the wraith with his homework resulting in Yves' heart beating rapidly at the thought of getting help from somebody he enjoyed the company of one. A deep breath was welcomed into the white-haired man's lung before being slowly exhaled in an attempt to gain calmness.
[break][break]
"Um... I... I'm doing trig... trig-o-nometry," Yves explained awkwardly to his crush.
[break][break]
Under most circumstances, Yves and his educational assistance shortened the word to simply 'trig' since it was easier to remember the name for the amnesiac. There was a quick glance over the remaining questions before the wraith looked back to the neatly written work on his lined paper. Anxiety filled the man as he worried about his answers were incorrect, but he never thought about checking the back pages to assure his answers were correct, which a majority were. The incorrect answers were instances where he forgot the proper fractions to procure the answers.

Quietly, Yves kneaded the edges of his shirt as he attempted to slowly calm himself. There was something special about Phoenix which resulted in the white-haired wraith experiencing immense bashfulness whenever he was exposed to the brown-haired man. For months, the amnesiac had been crushing hard on the adorable man who filled his life with numerous positive memories. While the hellhound could occasionally be hot-headed, Yves always found himself enjoying the man's company. Sociable, independent and brave, everything about his personality was attractive to the wraith, resulting in red blossoming onto Yves' cheek from the mere thought of Phoenix's allure. There was silence from the white-haired man, the faint red remaining on his cheeks while his heart began speeding up. Hopefully, his cologne would emit an attractive scent and his style, while rushed, would be adequate to impress the brunette he cared for dearly. Breaths were faster than average, Yves becoming extremely nervous about being in the handsome man's presence. The pair of words which left Phoenix's mouth resulted in the wraith stiffening as he easily deduced that he hurried to get ready.
[break][break]
"S-sorry!" Yves squeaked in response to the teasing.
[break][break]
Shyly, the wraith glanced away, frightened of the possibility of potentially receiving punishment for disobeying Phoenix, although, it became evident the comment was light-hearted. Breathing was consciously regulated, Yves managing a sheepish smile when the brunette requested to enter the house. A slow nod became his response, the white-haired man took a few slow steps back to allow the hellhound inside. Together, they would solve his math homework, which was a notion that provided both trepidation and excitement because of the possibility of spending personal time with Phoenix. Once the brunette entered, the wraith closed the door behind him before pausing, gasping. Immediately, he scurried to his room, glancing over his shoulder momentarily.
[break][break]
"I-i need my books!" He exclaimed as he returned to his room.
[break][break]
Hastily, he gathered his textbook, binder and snatched up a handful of pencils and finally his phone which held his calculator.
