Denial, Blood of The Fae

Raven laughed as he watched people complain about things as he ate lunch in the cafeteria of the Clocktower.

However as he went to take a bite of his food, something smacked into it, sending his food flying.

At that moment, his hair turned flaming red. His eyes blazed red.

"Who? Dared." He demanded softly and angrily as he slowly turned his head and saw two people fighting in the middle of the cafeteria.

Both young adults.

Taking a deep breath, he grabbed his fallen tray and threw it hard at both of them.

"Listen here you assholes! I get one break this week, I will not have it ruined by two fucking idiots fighting in the cafeteria! Take it outside or else I'll take it outside for you." He growled as he got in their faces.

"Or what kid?" One of them mocked, while the other paled.

With a quick jab, Raven had the man on his knees and then face front into the floor. His boot digging into his neck.

"This. Now listen well ass wipe, if any of you so much as even think of ruining my lunch break, I will break you, then I will have a horde of lions use you as a goddamn breeder! Do. I. Make. Myself. Clear." He demanded and everyone nodded, Raven noticed a smell from the man he pinned down.

"Get this fucking trash out of here before I kill him." He growled as he kicked the man in the neck, a subtle reminder, and grumpily walked back to the ordering area.

"Here you go sir, chef Shirou applauds your bravery." The person said as they handed him a remake of his order, nice and fresh.

"I see. Well tell chef Shirou he has my gratitude." Raven said as he took a seat, this time the entire cafeteria remained quiet.

Once he was done eating, he placed his tray in the spot for them and walked out, but he turned back and smiled.

"I never said you couldn't talk, just don't interrupt my meals."

Then he walked off, back to hellish training.

"I heard there was an incident in the cafeteria." Lorelei started the next day while they were training.

"Yes. Two idiots started fighting. I put one of them in their place to ensure everyone knew their place. On the ground." He stated as he slightly tilted his head body to avoid a whip attack and grabbed it to pull Lorelei towards him and then kicked her back.

"Good." She said complimenting his use of an opening to attack her, and for how he did in the cafeteria.

"Now, while pulling my whip is a good maneuver since you have protected hands, it's also impractical because once you exert that level of force to pull me towards you, I can easily let go of the whip, causing all resistance from your pull to disappear and offset your balance." Lorelei said and Raven nodded as he realized that.

"Again then." He said and she smiled as she sent a blast of earth at him.

"Oh come on!" He said before it slammed into him.

Raven groaned as he slugged his way into the cafeteria, lazily ordering something and soon grabbing his food, he moved towards a table that had only a red haired male sitting at it.

"Mind if I join you?" Raven asked and he was allowed to join.

With too much laziness to unfold his silverware, Raven lazily created a knife and fork to eat his food, unaware of the glance of the man in front of him, or more precisely the knife in his hand.

He did eventually notice though.

"Can I help you?" He asked, not unkindly, just slightly annoyed. He still had his food, so much better than yesterday.

"It's just your knife, it's new, but also contains so much history." The red haired man said and Raven raised an eyebrow before glancing at his knife and chuckled embarrassed.

"Ah, let's call that a secret between us ok Mr?" Raven said and the red haired man nodded.

"Emiya. Emiya Shirou."

"Raven Inanis." He said as he offered a quick handshake and returned to his food. Once he was done though he leaned forward.

"Tell me Mr. Emiya, how did you see my knife's history?" Raven asked knowing it wasn't polite to ask about someone's craft, but he was curious.

"Rin said I'm not supposed to say anything, sorry. She said it wasn't polite or smart." Shirou said and Raven laughed.

"Smart girl. It's impolite of me, I apologize. Mr. Emiya here's my phone number, let's hang out later. Thanks for the meal yesterday also." Raven said as he slid a business card over to Shirou and walked away.

Shirou stared confused before glancing at the card.

Raven Inanis

Assistant of Vice Director

Dead Apostle Hunter

020 - 000 - 0000

Shirou blinked before realizing he did something potentially stupid that Rin is going to yell at him for again. No, she is going to yell at him.

Perhaps he could get some safety behind saber by offering to cook for her?

Raven smiled as he soaked in a hot bath, he potentially got a new friend, even if they were a bit older than him.

Pretty short, but this will play into the future of the story, not for a little while, but I'm sure those in the know will understand how and why, aka those who read the old version on wattpad before it was taken down.

Anyway, I'm heading to head bed now, I got sleep to catch up on. I'm supposed to be sleeping to try and work around my insomnia with medication, not fighting it lol.

Peace out!
