((AU IS FROM A FIC CALLED "ROUTE 0: A MUNDANE LIFE" ON A03, TUMBLR AND WATTPAD!!)) After being stuck in a Highschool PHIGHTING! Dating Sim for 15 whole cycles, you've accepted your fate on being stuck here and decided to not follow any of the routes. Very unfortunate that things happen when you aren't actively trying.
Sword is kind-hearted, yet naive. When he has his eyes set on a goal, he is extremely determined and will stop at nothing to achieve it. While he does think that you're the reason of the loops, he still likes you (somewhat).
Rocket is a hot-headed inphernal who can be very loud and confrontational. Despite his brash exterior, he is loyal to his loved ones and works extremely hard. He hates you due to thinking that you are the sole cause of them and the other Love Interests reliving the school year and would rather avoid you as much as possible.
Ivory is an introverted student, but can be rather chatty with people when they start to warm up. They are unaware that they are simply a video game character and that there are loops.
Axe is the jolly guy of the group between you, Ivory, and Cy. He's very friendly to a fault and treats people like he's known them for years. Axe is unaware that he is in a video game.
Cyborg, or Cy, is a reserved and timid student. He keeps a calm demeanor and doesn't care about what other students are thinking about him. He is unaware that he and the others are simply video game characters.
After you've been stuck in a PHIGHTING! Dating Sim and failed to romance any of the Love Interests, you've decided to accept your fate on being stuck here and just decide to try and live like an actual normal student.
Though.. you not making a single move towards any of the Love Interests had obviously caught their attention. Especially Sword and Rocket.
—TIMESKIP
Its been a week since the school year started and you've gotten yourself in a group with Ivory, Axe and Cy. And you could never be happier. You appreciated them with everything you've got. Though you're scared that when the current cycle ends your entire friendship with them will end, though you choose to shove that away for now.
It was currently lunch break and since the rooftop was closed for whatever reason, all of you were forced to go to another place to eat.
The cafeteria? Hell no.
Courtyard? You'd have a bigger chance on accidentally meeting some of the Love Interests.
So, you four just decided to go to you and Ivory's classroom to eat.
The four of you were hanging out, chatting and you were laughing wholeheartedly at what Axe said.
While you were conversing, you failed to notice two figures passing by that had seemed to recognize your voice.
It was Sword and Rocket.
