((The story of a young, high-ranking warrior who has lost the love of his life. Looking for some romance, preferably female. You can be one of his students, an equally-ranked general, or even a nurse. Feel free to be creative. PM me if you have any questions.))

The young general had been locked in his room for about three months, now. He barely spoke and barely ate. He refused to come and train. He just sat in his room and drew out battle plans. He also slept for the majority of the day. His old squad had come to visit him constantly, but he barely responded to any of his old friends.

Lux de Tenebras seemed to be slightly broken. The man had just lost his lover. His one and only supervisor trusted that the scythe-wielding warrior would eventually come out of this depression and return to his happy state.

Even the purple aura that always surrounded him had remained stagnant as of now. In the past, it had always circled and swirled around his smiling face.

Currently, the general laid in his bed. His purple eyes scanned over the book he was reading as he brushed the white hair out of his face. He was only twenty-eight, and already a general. He had everything he could ever want, so why did he look so miserable? It was amazing what the loss of a lover could do to such a powerful man.

His mouth moved in a certain movement, as a name ghosted over his lips.

"Kassandra? Where are you?" He asked out loud, wiping the tears from his face.

(OCC: I'll roleplay with you ^-^ um.. since your guy is 28, keys just say her she is 23 so he isn't a pedophile. My girl looks like a cat girl and, she is. Though I think her personality is best for this so we can just say she's a human if you want. Another thing is that she can be his student if you're cool with that)

Yuu walked over to General Lux de Tenebras' room and sighed. She was talked into doing this from the rest of his students. He's been in his room, he seemed dead the last time she saw him. He no longer looked alive or anything close to it. He looked like he would be ready to accept death even though he still needed to finish things here.

She walked in the front of his room and took a deep breath. This could go many ways, hopefully it wouldn't end in the worst ones that she thought up. She clenched her fists and knocked on his door. She just had to remember what the others said and stay calm. She didn't understand what he was going through since she never really had a lover before. She just had to try to understand his feelings in this and then maybe he can go back to teaching.

((I'd prefer for her to be human thanks!))

He pulled the pillow over his head when the girl knocked on his door. He didn't know who it was, and to be honest, nor did he care. He would just pretend to be asleep. He forced some reluctant aura to the door so it was unlocked, so if it was his nurse, she would be able to come in. There was a second reason. He craved the company of another person.

Even if it was just a few words back and forth, maybe it would make him feel better. Yet, he wouldn't open the door himself. In fact, he just continued to pretend to sleep. If the person really needed him, they would wake him.

OOC: Alright, no problem ^-^)

Yuu narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew he was inside. She could leave, but not only were her fellow students relying on her; but it was about time he get some air. She turned the door knob and pushed slightly, seeing it was open. If he wanted no one to come in, he wouldn't of left it open. She walked into his room and druid by his beside.

He looked like he always did... dead. She also noticed that he was asleep, he's had enough time sleeping. She took the pillow from under his head and took usher blankets off of him. "Alright, get up." She said while sitting in a nearby chair and crossed her legs. She would get him to at least go outside. That was her goal. "Don't you think you spent enough time in your room?" She asked.

Lux just about growled when he told her to get up. His aura swirled around him and his bed and created a protective shield. She wasn't going to be able to get the covers off. It was a shame she already had. Bloodshot purple eyes met hers, and he just glared before grunting.

He recognized her, of course, but couldn't remember your name. "Questions should go to your substitute, Mr. Wever." He said, almost coldly as he shivered. He didn't want to get out of bed. He didn't have to. She was his student, not the other way around.

Yuu knew that he would be stubborn. It would make no sense if he instantly decided to get up and follow her around. In fact, his reaction was expected. She leaned forward in his seat, studying his eyes. Even though he hasn't left his room, it was questionable on weather or not he slept at all. She sighed and shook her head. "I have no questions regarding training." She answered and bit her lip softly. "You and I both know the real reason why I'm here. You know this isn't healthy for you." She said, trying to put some kind of reason into his head.

((Agh sorry this took so long!))

"I know what's healthy and what's not. I don't have to be healthy all the time." There he goes with that terrible attitude of his. Lux never had an attitude before all of this. "I'll rip a piece of your soul out and then you can tell me how you feel." While he sounded like a drama queen, that was honestly how Lux felt about being alone in this world. "Just leave me be." It was clear he hadn't eaten in a few days, either. He looked skinnier than usual, and also more tired. He had already started to shut his eyes again. He didn't want to be in reality.

Yuu looked at him, keeping her face expressionless. She stood up and stretched slightly. Now it was more then obvious why her teammates made sure she checked on him. It was because she wouldn't leave the first time he demanded her to. She looked at his full dinner plates beside his bed. "Sitting here, rotting away slowly, such a pitiful sight. Tell me, did your lover actually want you to do this? To sit here, be alone, and die mourning her death?" Yuu asked. She was positive he didn't want to hear this, but someone had to do it. "Don't you think she will blame herself if you die because you were in this room, neglecting your physical needs?" She asked harshly and picked up the most recent dinner plate. She held the spoon to him and sighed. "Will you let your lover sleep uneasy, or will you eat?" She asked.

(OCC: it's fine ^-^)

"Don't you talk about her!" That got some emotion out of him. The purple aura that swirled around him started to crackle angrily. "Get out! You don't know what she would've done!" 'Don't cry.' He thought, although the tears had already started to fill his violet eyes. "I'll eat when I please!" He called out as the energy started pushing her out the door. The door slammed shut behind her, and that's when he started to cry properly. He whimpered quietly, too. He hated himself.

Yuu hesitated slightly, mostly surprised at how quickly his mood changed. Then again, she knew this was a possibility... she felt herself get pushed out the door and it slam shut behind her. She sighed to herself and ran a hand through her hair. Maybe she wasn't the best for this job, but everyone gave up on him. It would truly be a shame if she did too. Though she knew that if she continued to push him today, he would get more irritated then he already was. She sighed to herself softly. "Tomorrow then..." She muttered quietly and walked away. Hopefully he would at least eat today.

The next morning was interesting. When the girl returned the next morning, a silver-haired male would lead her into the purple-eyed male's room. "Gilbert Berlitz, Lux's fellow General and teammate." He didn't need to say that, he was rather famous.

"Lux, wake up, you have a visitor."

"Don't tell me what to do."

"Attitude."

"I ate. Now leave me be." A hiss was heard as the purple aura went to push him, but Gilbert cut him off with his own red aura.

"No. You need to speak to people."

Yuu looked up at him and nodded. "It's an honor to meet you General." She said as she followed him. It was good to know that she wasn't the only one who believed in him. She watched as they argued and gave a small sigh in relief. At least he ate... She stepped out and took a few steps forward.
"How much?" She asked. She folded her arms behind her back, making sure that he ate enough and not something too small.

"A whole two meals. This idiot shoved it down my throat. He was lucky I didn't puke on him." Lux grumbled, causing Gilbert to chuckle.

"John rubbed off on you too much, Lux." John was the legendary man who'd raised all of the current generals, including the lover that Lux lost. He was notoriously grumpy and cold, but was said to have a caring side and a heart of gold.

"Go away, Gilbert."

"No. I have to make sure you don't puke."

"I'll puke on you."

"You're terrible, Lux."

Yuu hesitated. There was still a child side of her that made her slightly gullible at times. She was unsure if he was serious or just kidding. She looked around and handed him a bucket just in case. She would prefer him to puke in a bucket instead of actually on people. That was.... a messy thought. Though she didn't know what to say, they were better friends so it made sense that she was a little uncomfortable and awkward.

"He's being a drama queen. He won't puke on you, or me. He just wants us to leave so he can brood." With almost no effort, Gilbert lifted up the other male, who obviously didn't want to be picked up. "Come on. It's too dark in here for you."

"I'll turn on the lights."

"Don't sass me."

Yuu was surprised when the General lifted him up and it didn't even look like he was having a hard time carrying him. Yuu looked at him and smiled.
"The lights will do you know good, outside is better." She said. He was getting through a lot today, he ate and now he was going outside. Perfect progress.

That statement was met with a growl. He closed his eyes as they walked through the doors to the outside. His old team mate was carrying him, still. Lux didn't seem seem very pleased by this. He liked to consider himself independent, he didn't need Gilbert carrying him.

"Put me down."

"Then you'll run away."

"**** you."

Yuu was unaffected by the growl. Though she followed them out the door and outside. She heard his comment and smirked slightly to herself. "You should put him down then, it would be a good excersize." She looked up at him And smiled. "What I mean sir is that he's been in his room for quite some time, if he runs away then it would be a giid excersize in Hus legs." She explained.

While Lux didn't curse at her, he shot her an angry look. He didn't think about that possibility. Gilbert put him down. "Go along, General. Get up and walk."

Instead of getting up, Lux sat in the grass, and stared at Gilbert angrily.

"You see, this is what your General was like before he met the love of his life. I fear he may need a lady friend. You help him up." Gilbert directed her.
