A/N: I don't own Saint Seiya. This fic is adapted from a very strange dream that I had, so if some things are a little weird, that's because it's a bit based on the dream. I just found the idea so interesting that I wanted to try a fic based on it. I know I should be writing the new chapter of Cygnus's Flight, but I needed a little bit of a break, and also I was afraid of forgetting. So here is the first chapter.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
February the 14th 2013, it's a day that most people would always remember. The majority of them look upon it with hatred because that was the day that something known as "The Lover Act" was passed. It essentially divided society into two pieces, Lovers and Fighters. While the majority of people were placed as fighters, those who were seen as beautiful or weak were placed in the category of Lover. These people were denoted by specific tracking bands on their wrists, most of which were adored with some sort of pink to make them stand out. A Fighter had the right to use and abuse a lover in any way they should please, and this lead to problems. Many Fighters were working hard to protect loved ones who were stuck as Lovers. However they found that they couldn't protect them every moment of the day. Slowly as time went by they began to give up, though a few devoted people still fought for the protection, murmurs of a rebellion began.
It was exactly one year later that the rebellion came into full swing. It ended in a massacre, it was known as the Lover's Day rebellion. Many Lovers and Fighters joined together trying to get the law revoked, but the group was no match for those who fought for the bill and the government. They found they liked the ability to force the lovers to do as they pleased. As a response the Fighter Mastery act was passed, this allowed a Fighter to take possession of any Lover they should choose and register them as their property, however each Fighter was allowed one and only one Lover to call their own. The fighters who showed exceptional prowess were given high positions and often allowed the first pick of Lovers who were coming of age. The other tradition that began was the practice of the best fighters being given the children with the most potential to train. This has become the common system now, and it's been around 10 years since the days of the Lover's day rebellion.
"Get back here!" Seiya was panting heavily as he ducked through the side corridors of the research building. It had only been about two days since he'd received his lover's band, and the boy had been able to keep it hidden. He'd managed to be found out by some of the other men who worked at the lab where he volunteered to take care of the animals. He kicked off a wall from a sharp turn down the hall and ran faster, if that was even possible. He was heading for a back exit out of the courtyard, maybe he could find some place to hide out there. A small cry escaped Seiya as he nearly tripped. Looking up he saw one of the ladies he worked with holding the emergency exit open wide as he dashed straight through it. He saw several bushes and dove straight into them, totally ignoring the fact that they scratched his arms, as he shielded his face. Seiya pressed his back against the rough stone building, his chest heaving as he listened to the confused men shouting as they looked for him.
Seiya lay their eyes closed, chest heaving as he listened. Eventually they stopped shouting and he dared to peak out, and saw the men heading back inside. A small sigh escaped Seiya as he lay there for a little while longer. Slowly he got up brushing himself off, and wincing at the small scratches that covered his arms and neck. There was also a rip in the knee of his jeans now, and Seiya sighed shaking his head before starting to sneak around the edge of the building. Maybe he could find somewhere to hide for just a little while. Shaking his head Seiya checked his wallet; he had enough cash to maybe buy one night at an Inn. He'd have to make do with that for now. Walking out from his cover he looked around quickly then set off at a fast walk towards the nearest Inn, which was right off of the College Camus where he normally lived and worked.
Seiya got there as quickly as possible. "Oi! There he is!" Seiya turned seeing the men from earlier and took off running up the steps. It was probably a dumb move, but it was the only thing that he could think of. As he climbed the steps to the upper levels, he turned down a random hallway before seeing someone opening a door. One person was probably better than three men who were pissed off at you, so Seiya dove between the man's legs, tumbling across the floor. He looked up seeing a green haired boy about his own age sitting in the corner cowering, a Lover band visible on his wrist. Turning over he saw the man had shut the door and was giving him an odd look. "Sorry." Seiya said softly getting up and brushing himself up.
"What's the idea bursting into someone's room?" The blue haired man snapped as Seiya backed up and tripped, his hands flying in front of him, afraid of being struck, as he landed on his backside with a dull thud. He knew the band was clearly visible, as he held his arms in front of his face. "I see… Running from someone?"
"Ikki, be nice to him. He's obviously stuck in the same situation as me." The smaller boy had stood up, he was pale and delicate, and the exact model of what Lovers were originally supposed to be. Seiya looked up at the green haired boy. "I'm Shun, that's my older brother Ikki. He's been protecting me, I'm sorry he snapped at you." Shun said kneeling down and pulling Seiya's arms down with a smile.
"I'm Seiya; I just got my band two days ago. Wait I think I saw you there at the registry." Seiya said softly smiling at him a little bit. Shun nodded a bit with a sigh.
"You could have, that was so embarrassing. All the poking and prodding…" Shun shuddered a bit helping Seiya to the bed and getting out a first aid kit and starting to tend to the scratches that covered Seiya's arms and neck. Only a few had actually broken the skin. "What happened to you?"
"Not to mention the pictures." Seiya added with a soft sigh shaking his head before looking up at Shun before laughing a little. "Well I was running away from these guys who wanted to test my Lover status. That's how I ended up diving in here to begin with, but I did a header into the bushes to hide from them." He laughed softly and Shun smiled a little bit.
"That was fast thinking. It's good to not be the only Lover around. Ikki's great and all, but he doesn't really understand the humiliation of knowing you're…" Shun trailed off looking down at his lap and Seiya wrapped an arm around him.
"Of knowing you're society's sex toy." Seiya said softly hugging Shun close to him as Ikki muttered something about getting ice, and leaving the pair of them sitting there on the bed. "Where are you guys headed?"
"We don't know. Ikki just wants to keep me safe; I know he won't be able to forever though." Shun sighed shaking his head a bit before looking out the window. "Seiya, let's be friends okay? That way, no matter what, no matter where, we know that we're never alone in this world." Shun smiled walking over and Seiya clasped Shun's hand in his own.
"I would really like that Shun. Friends for life." He chuckled as they smiled back at each other. "So we could play cards for a bit or something to pass the time."
"Ooh good idea." Shun went over to Ikki's pack and brought some cards out and the two settled in playing a game of ERS which Ikki eventually joined in. They spent the night taking, laughing, and playing cards, the world outside of their small sanctuary of a hotel room forgotten for now, along with its dangers for Shun and Seiya.
