Hunter: The Black Black

"Hello, Chrollo Lucilfer." The boy tilted his head and smiled in a way that was hard to read. "I'm Hei. Hei as in black."

A rare shaft of bright light fell on the boy's unruly bangs, grown long enough to look messy, making their otherwise pitch-black color seem faintly red. His skin was pale and his lips red. Even from the lower half of his face alone, it wasn't hard to imagine how delicate his features were. Yet his bangs hid his eyes completely, giving him an inexplicable air.

The black-haired boy across from him said nothing, only gazing quietly at this strange boy, his eyes as deep as a bottomless pool.

A breeze from nowhere quietly carried away the light and lifted the long hair that the boy calling himself "Hei" couldn't be bothered to comb.

Even in the dimness, Chrollo could see clearly: beneath that long hair was only a long, twisted, hideous scar. The brows and lashes were a tangled mess... It was just as if someone had sewn his eyes shut in some kind of brutal way.

1. A prince's revenge story, with gambling, drinking, and womanizing on the side, plus a rise through the ranks;

2. It [probably] won't offend your sensibilities (I consider myself a normal person, yeah);

3. No chuunibyou, no fun;

4. La la la, let's pray for a [hopefully] happy ending;

5. After several experiences digging holes I couldn't fill and suffering the consequences, let me say this upfront: updates are irregular. I'll update when I'm in the mood, and maybe even when I'm not, yeah.

P.S. I'm very reasonable, not at all capricious, really. Yeah.
