Akim and Gale

These two were made on a whim- When I saw the alternate/recolor version of Akim I immediately thought he looked kinda like Gallerian Marlon, the judge of corruption from the evillious vocaloid series. My mind went to them interacting, and as such, an AU idea was created. It turned into an original world I like to think and write about. It focuses mostly on Akim and Gale (AU version of Gallerian Marlon) in a low-magic fantasy world (basically just has different fantasy races and very rare magical artefacts), instead of it being the third period. Bacically, Marlon grew up in a village, pretty poor (as in the original universe). One summer, Akim's familly takes a vacation there, and they become fast friends. They later attent a law university together. Gale gets his wife, Akim is pining because he's in love with Gale, all the good stuff:)
The story is not finished yet, but here are some of the things that happen!

First meeting

Akim’s family comes to the little village for summer, Akim makes his first ever friend- Gale. Gale is two years older and knows a lot of fun things to do in the village, Akim is enamoured with him and wants to be friends. Gale likes the attention, since his parents don’t really care about him (they wanted a girl). During the two/three months there, they become good friends. Akim talks about going to school, about how cool his parents are and how he’s going to become a lawyer. Gale is interested and plays a judge in their make-believe games where Akim is a lawyer. Akim’s parents like Gale, and they offer to take him with them when they return to the city and secure him a grant so he can study alongside their child.

Akim: -happy-go-lucky, lonely, book-smart, doesn’t know how to interact with kids his age; wants a friend - enamoured with Gale because he’s fun, shows Akim new things, knows a lot about the real world

Gale: -outgoing, a bit of a mischief maker, boisterous, hard-working and determined; wants love and recognition -likes Akim because he makes an effort to hang out with and listens to Gale, and because he’s interested in Akim’s tales about life in the city

School years

At the end of summer, the boys leave the countryside together, and enrol into an academy, pursuing law. While Akim wants to become a lawyer, Gale instead aims to become the head judge. They share a dorm together. Away from his parents’ eyes, Akim is a little bit more laid back with his studies at that time. He’s still successful, and finishes all his work, but he’s not concerned with getting perfect marks. Instead, he finds a small group of friends, who help him come out of his shell a little bit more and learn social behaviours. Meanwhile, Gale throws himself into studies. Coming from a rural background, he has some problems at the beginning, as he lacks some general knowledge. Nevertheless, he is determined, and would later graduate top of his class.
During this time, Gale gets a little bit jealous of Akim’s other friends. Their late night chats, when they would talk about anything and everything while laying in their beds, often steer in the direction of what Akim and his group did that day, which Gale doesn’t like. Still, both really cherish their talks, and their relationship deepens.
Used to being his only friend, and the one who Akim came to with all his stories and problems, he joins a social club partly out of spite. It ends up being good for him though, as in this club he finds a couple new friends, one of which, Mira, becomes his girlfriend and would later become his wife.
Some time after Gale and Mira first met, Gale talks about her excitedly during one of their evening chats. Akim listens, as he always does, but this time it’s a little bit different. He feels some unease. As Gale’s and her relationship blossoms, along with Gale confessing he has a crush on her to Akim, Akim realises why. He is in love with his best friend. He has been for years.
