Theme 1: Introductions

“We should kill your parents.” In hindsight Shiro probably took that as a clue as to the type of person Kuro was. He probably should have gone right away to get his head examine, for certainty he was going crazy. Here was standing in his room in nothing but his transformers boxers and talking to a figment of his imagination. A figment who had just stated in a way of introduction that he wanted to murder Shiro parents.

Shiro really should have been worried.

Introduction, Shiro father had always said, told a lot about a person. He believed that a timid person waited for someone else to introduce themselves first. Shiro was told early on that he was to avoid the weak and timid. Strong and confident people always asserted themselves. They gave a strong firm handshake and spoke with confidence.

Shiro had to wonder what kind of person his Father would think the figment was, probably crazy. Shiro thought he was.

“Sorry, I’m being rude. I’m not even introducing myself probably. Our father would be disappointed.” Like he had been reading Shiro thoughts, he strode forward with confidence and grabbed Shiro hand. He gave it a firm, hard shake as he beamed a wicked smile at Shiro. “I’m Kuro. The darkness to your light.”

As far as introductions went, Shiro was sure this would by far be the weirdest one he had ever encountered.
