Yin to His Yang
Intro
It was nearly four in the morning.
Vee was awake as usual, headphones over his ears as he doodled in his notebook, sitting on the roof, the skies and stars above him, the early morning breeze sifting through his jet black hair.
He glanced at the ground below, at the neat little neighborhood and streets that joined the houses neatly, with little shrubs and greenery planted along the paths.
It was hard to see in the dark, but that was no problem for Vee.
It was one of the reasons he enjoyed these moments.
That glorious feeling of being truly disconnected from it all.
Incomparable to anything else.
But then his eyes caught on something.
From a house two roofs away.
Someone else was awake at this hour, on the roof, with a torch.
He should have been scared, sceptical or at the very least curious.
Excited that he wasn't alone.
ASPD
Antisocial Personality Disorder
There are many different definitions and meanings to this conditions.
To put it simply, it is a mental condition that causes an individual to feel a rush or lack of emotions, a detachment to people and feelings or a lack of understanding for such.
Our focus are on the two archetypes under this ASPD
Psychopath and Sociopath.
Now I know what some of you are thinking.
No, psychopaths are not necessarily people who are serial killers or mass murderers though they might be.
And sociopaths are not depressed criminals either.
Both are simply humans that are not capable of understanding emotions or how to relate properly with others.
The difference, is sociopaths are more open or clear about their apathy or lack of interest and show their aggression or lack of clearly.
Psychopaths are more cold, calculative. They pretend to feel, to fit in. Psychopaths can't even be easily identified because of how they fake things.
Someone
But Miss! Does that mean that psychopaths know what they're doing? That they intentionally fake things?
The teacher paused from her lecture, considering the question carefully.
Teacher
Some say that psychopaths lack a conscience and feel no remorse.
Teacher
While others say they simply don't understand it, which is what confuses them and makes them even more distant.
Teacher
It all depends on the person I guess.
Teacher
But more on that tomorrow.
The class filed out, buzzing about normal things that occupied the minds of young students- food, romance, gossip, and in some rare cases, what they had learnt.
He sat down in his seat, an air pod in one ear, his face blank as he doodled on a blank piece of paper.
The teacher finished cleaning the board and turned to address him.
Teacher
It's break time you know.
Vee De Vill
*not looking up* Not hungry.
Teacher
So you won't go get some fresh air at least?
Vee didn't respond and his teacher sighed, just carrying her textbooks and leaving.
Vee put in his other air pod and leaned back, closing his eyes and listening to his music.
Two Faces
Levi fought the urge to give the woman in front of him a good shake.
He wasn't an idiot, he had two fully functional ears.
So why was she droning on and on about a matter he already fully understood?
Teacher
..Mind you, he's not falling behind in class.
She folded her arms, and he nodded, his face calm and attentive, or so it seemed.
Levi Belnades
I understand.
Levi Belnades
So you need me to befriend him,put him on the right track.
Levi Belnades
He nodded and smiled serenely.
Levi Belnades
Don't worry Miss. I'll do my best.
Teacher
Of course you will.
Teacher
I'll trust you to handle this then.
As he left the room, Levi sighed, glad that boring task was finally over.
If the teacher really wanted him to take this boy under his wing then it would be no problem.
Levi Belnades
Why care so much about some damn child anyways?
Ruby Earhart
What was that?
Levi turned to meet the sharp dark eyes of his only trusted friend, Ruby.
Levi Belnades
Just wondering at the teacher's stupid assignment.
Levi Belnades
She wants me to look after some lost, whimsical kid or something.
Ruby Earhart
Aww, poor you.
She chuckled, flipping her thick, raven black hair over one shoulder,
Ruby Earhart
Is this guy cute by any chance?
Levi Belnades
Ugh. Please Ruby, sometimes you have to understand that not everyone wants to get down and dirty with you.
Ruby fanned her cheeks, pretending to be flustered.
Ruby Earhart
I don't want to do THAT!
Ruby Earhart
I just needed someone to help make my ex jealous.
Levi snorted and put an arm around her shoulder.
Levi Belnades
That's what I'm here for.
Ruby Earhart
Mm..yeah nah! You're like that cousin never asked for.
Levi Belnades
And you're that nuisance I was burdened with.
Ruby Earhart
You wound me!!
Levi Belnades
Alright Desdemona. Let's go find this young man and see what's so special about him.
