First Day at Roulette High

Nagi grinned lightly. "Likewise." This really was too easy. On the first day of school they already had dates to homecoming. He guessed they had that black haired guy to thank for that. The guy looked older, so maybe he was a junior. Nagi didn't want to be indebted to him, but maybe they could ask him how to get to the party this weekend. Or...meet up, or whatever it was. "Awesome," he smiled. "Could you maybe show me where your room is so I know where to come pick you up from?" he asked. Oh yes, Nagi was not only smooth, but he worked oh-so quickly. It was too bad that the dorm rooms were shared with a bunch of other people, otherwise this semester would be a lot less risky and a lot more fun. Not that he didn't like taking risks every now and again.

Fara smiled when Xen stood up, noting the...very obvious height difference between them. She was around four foot six, and he had to be at least six feet tall. Maybe even taller. Most likely taller. Her hair bobbing ever so slightly as she turned, the small girl waved Xen along before she started walking towards the forest. "Come on then," she said happily, "I wanna see what kinds of animals live behind our school. Do you think we have black squirrels here?" she asked curiously, looking up towards her new friend. Black squirrels were her absolute favorite animal. They were so tiny and cute.

She had in interest in animals? That was a plus. He followed after the much shorter girl. It was strange how little she was compared to others and to him. He took a moment to go through his memories of the forest. Did they have black squirrels? He could not remember. He only recalled little creatures running along the tiny branches and gliding whenever the branches end. He was curious what other creatures lurked in the underbrush. Wolves or foxes or rabbits. Their teacher had warned them of such last year, but he was unsure if they'd been honest or not.

"Our room is down the hall," Renee said as she motioned for Nagi to follow her. Genie and Luna giggled and quickly followed after their friend. Chris and Nick grinned at Nagi. "Nice one bro," Chris told his friend quietly. "I see our future growing brighter and brighter."

Fara looked around curiously as they walked, her eyes bright and cheerful. She couldn't help that she loved the forest. She liked climbing trees too, but this uniform wasn't really ideal for that kind of thing. Back in the city she would wear shorts, but there weren't really many trees back in the city, either. So it was rare that she could climb a tree. "Ooh, oh, look Xen, there's one!" she squealed excitedly, jumping up and down a couple times while pointing. She would be sure to find some kind of nuts or bread that she could bring back here and make some friends out of the squirrels. She doubted the teachers would like that very much, but they didn't have to know. "Oh, and look, a blue jay!" she said with a smile. She had no idea that there would be such pretty animals hiding behind their school!

Nagi shot a grin towards his friends and held his hands out low behind him for high (or rather low) fives from each of them. Yeah, he knew how to play the game. He stopped and blinked when he saw that Gianna woman coming towards them, telling the six of them to hold on for a second.

Suki looked towards the three boys and gave an apologetic smile. "I was talking to Mr. Fujioka about it, and we decided that it's not really fair to keep family apart like this after all. If you could tell that other boy and make sure he's still okay with it, you can move to their room," she told Chris lightly.

Her actions made him question her age. She was like a little kid, which wasn't hard to imagine considering her size. Another smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as she pointed each creature that she spotted. He wondered if she liked photography. He didn't, but putting all of these little moments in a scrapbook for memories would be nice. He imagined if he ever returned to his home country, he'd want something to remember this little silver haired girl by. Yes, he would always remember her name and her face, but a physical item was a bit more sentimental. It was not something he was very accustomed to, but new things never hurt too much.


Nick and Chris both gave Nagi a much deserved high, er, low five. Chris's happy go lucky expression turned sour when the counselor approached. He bet she was here to ruin all the fun, telling them that they couldn't go into the girl's dorm or something stupid like that. He crossed his arms over his chest and gave her a smug look. Nick looked as if someone had just dumped water all over him. While he didn't look smug, he expected this woman was indeed here to rain all over their parade of good times. The girls in particular were giving each other questioning glances, wondering if the guys weren't allowed in their room. Luna swore that in the handbook it said that males were allowed in female rooms and vice versa as long as it wasn't past curfew.

Chris mouth dropped when the woman gave them permission to change their rooms. His expression was priceless before he grinned to his friends. "Let's escort these beautiful ladies to their dorm and then go find that guy and let him know the awesome news." He glanced over his shoulder at Gianna. "I guess you're not an old hag trapped in a young body after all," he said with a wink.

When Fara saw Xen smile, her own smile turned into a slightly embarrassed, yet still cheerful smile. It was nice to make other people smile, even if it was just by being herself. "Oh, I think I heard something move over there," she said excitedly, trotting ahead only to stop cold when she saw a grey wolf stalking through the bushes. Green eyes wide, Fara started taking slow steps backwards, and when the wolf turned its yellow eyes gaze towards her and growled lowly, the small silver haired girl quickly hid behind Xen, grabbing onto his arm as if he were a lifeline. "X-Xen," she called quietly, her voice matching the trembling of her tiny form. Even after the wolf looked away from them and continued walking, Fara stayed hidden halfway behind the taller male, watching it walk away.

Nagi's eyes widened at the woman's words and his grin returned full force. "All right!" This was totally awesome! Now the three of them could be in the same room. The teal eyed male couldn't help but hold back a laugh that threatened to escape at what Chris said, especially so when the brown haired counselor raised an eyebrow at Chris and asked with a very displeased expression "Excuse me?"

Chris gave a half-ass apologetic smile. "I said that you're the best counselor a boy could ever have," he said as he batted his lashes and then turned and wrapped his arms around Nagi and Nick's neck. "Come on boys, we've got some moving around to do." He flashed a smile at the girls in front of them who were giggling about hanging out with them because they seemed cool and were seriously cute.

Xen was looking around a bit, all the while following after Fara. He was taking note of the way the bushes parted as if an animal had passed through. The hoof prints of deer and- He turned his head to Fara when she spoke his name, but it wasn't in her cheerful tone, It was quiet and fearful. He spotted the gray wolf. It seemed as though the teacher had not been lying about as the creatures. Seeing as though the creature had not taken it upon itself to attack them, he was guessing they weren't close enough to it's den to pose a threat. "Let's go back," he told Fara, all too aware of her grip on his arm. He turned and guided her back towards the school with his hand gently on her shoulder. He didn't want to go any further and risk running into more wolves and getting himself and/or Fara injured when injury could have been avoided.

Suki's eyes narrowed lightly. "Yeah, that's what I thought you said," she huffed lightly before turning to walk away. These kids were going to give her grey hairs, she swore. The thought made her frown lightly and take a small lock of her hair and look at it, just to make sure. Luckily, all still brown, which made her smile lightly and shake her head with a sigh. The first day of school always meant trouble. It would get better after this.

Nagi chuckled lightly, shaking his head at the way Chris gave his half assed apology. "Nice cover," he laughed once the woman started walking away. "Alright, now let's go find your room, shall we ladies?" he grinned, returning his attention to the three cute girls who were leading them straight to their rooms. Nagi's grin widened a touch. First day and they already had dates, the same room together, and now they were going to said dates rooms. Perhaps, if all the girls in that room decided to go to homecoming over the weekend, one of them could get lucky and suggest they head back early from the dance. Nagi's teal eyes shined at the thought. Perfect.

Fara held onto Xen and looked up at him when the older student suggested they head back. She quickly nodded, walking next to him, but not letting go of his arm until they were almost in the clearing, glancing back every now and then to make sure the wolf wasn't still there. She felt his hand on her shoulder and that eased her panic a little bit, and she glanced at him as they walked. "I...I don't like wolves," she informed him quietly, as if that much hadn't already been obvious. "We found a wolf in our backyard once when me and my parents went to a cabin to the west for the weekend. I saw it eat a rabbit. It was terrifying," she told him quietly, looking down at the ground as they walked back towards the school building.

Felix left the twins to their own devices. It didn't take long for him to tune them out so that he could focus on his book. He could have gone up to the roof, but it was the first day and far too many people were out and about, wandering the hall like busy little bees. He didn't want someone following him to his little sanctuary. He turned the page every now and then, only looking up when there was a knock on the door. He was curious as to why anyone would bother knocking when the door was open. He looked up to see a taller male standing in the door; Vin, dressed in only in a pair of long swimming pants. His purple hair was tied back in a ponytail and his dark brown eyes showed energy and authority. Behind him stood Max and Roman who were dressed in swim trucks, their towels wrapped around their shoulders.

"Kuriyama, we're heading over to the pool to condition. I want the team in tip top shape and I need to know how much everyone has improved. That includes you." Felix just blinked and then he slowly lowered his book and placed it on the shelf before he stood up and pulled off his shirt. He grabbed his towel and swim pants. He'd finish changing in the locker room. "See you later," he told Kim and Recha. He walked out of the room with a wave. Max clasped him on the back. "Hey there rookie, had a nice summer? Must be a proud sophomore now, no?" Felix only shrugged and Roman grinned. "Oh cheer up and get a little life in you. You're the star of the show." Vin turned and looked at them. "No individual is the star of any show," he spoke. "There is no 'I' in team." He then turned and continued leading them down the hall.

Xen supposed that she could not fully understand the concept of survival of the fittest or natural selection. She was still young and maybe her size forbid her from developing the full cognitive ability of a high schooler. They were all still growing, yes, but she had to understand that that wolf was no fiend, he was simply doing whatever it took to survive. Life and death were the only two things that were sure. He however didn't say as much. Instead he gently patted her on the back as a means of comfort. What more could he say or do?

Chris smirked. "Thank you kind sir, I do love a compliment," he replied. Renee, Genie, and Luna were walking ahead of them, giggling to one another about how cool and cute these guys were and how they should hang out more often. Upon arriving at their dorm room, Genie pushed open the door. It was empty, for their other two roommates had left to explore the campus and meet new people. Genie spoke up, clearly returning to her normal self. "This here is our dorm. We would love if you all visited, even after the dance." She gave a smile and Chris grinned as though he'd won a million bucks. Nick was sure he was taking Genie's words the wrong way, but he wouldn't burst the guy's bubble just yet.

Recha looked up from his notepad at the knock on the door, since it had surprisingly fallen silent in the room after a while. The red haired male blinked when he saw three shirtless guys at the door. Needless to say they were on the swim team. Recha nearly rolled his eyes. Probably the only guys in the school who had the permission to and were confident enough to walk around the school with their shirts off. However, when Felix took his own shirt off, Recha quickly averted his gaze, making it look like he was just going back to drawing. "See you later," he said casually as they walked out, looking over to Kim after the guy had said his goodbye too. But the goodbye wasn't the reason that Recha had looked over to his brother, it was what he said after it.

"Woo, what do I gotta do to get on that swim team, damn," Kim grinned with a low whistle after the four guys had left. "I forgot how good he looked."

"Which one?"

"Vin! Just...shit man. Kinda wish he was at least bi," Kim mused, laying on his bed with an exasperated sigh,  leaving Recha to chuckle. "Oh don't you laugh at me, I saw that."

"I wasn't trying to hide it."

"Psh, not your laugh, the way you looked at Felix. Don't deny it," Kim said with a nod, crossing his arms and laying his chin on them. Right now he was laying on his stomach facing the door, as if hoping Vin and the others would come back. It was Kim's turn to laugh when Recha grumbled and blushed. "Ah hah, I knew it."


When Xen patted her on the back, Fara blinked and looked up at him, blinking once before giving him a light smile. He was so nice. She was glad she'd swallowed her shyness enough to talk to him. She'd been kinda hungry a minute ago, now that she thought about it, but having just remembered the wolf eating the rabbit, she'd quite lost her appetite. "Do you wanna just...sit out back here for a while? Where you were before?" She figured that, since she didn't really know what he liked to do, they could just sit around for a while.

"Oh I know you do," Nagi nodded with a snicker. Of course, he wasn't mean enough to call Chris an attention whore in front of a bunch of girls, even if it would've only been a teasing comment. When the blond pushed open the door to their room, Nagi looked at the room number and made a mental note of it. His eyes shined at Genie's words and though he was sure he didn't quite mean what Chris seemed to think it meant, the girls would probably adopt that meaning sooner than later. "Of course we'll stop by. It would be beyond rude of us to just take pretty girls like you to the dance and then not visit afterwards," he said as if the mere thought of not visiting them offended him. Of course, now he was making sly suggestions of his own, though he was sure only Chris and Nick would catch onto it. And if the girls caught onto it, he was hoping that they would think he meant it in a more innocent way. Didn't want to scare them off, after all.

Chris could only grin at his friend's comment. Nick rolled his eyes and told Luna that he would see her later today, preferably during dinner so that they could get to know each other better. Luna nearly fainted, her awfully pale cheeks glowing bright red. Nick smiled politely and gave a small wave goodbye. Genie looked to Chris and then flung herself at him in a hug. "Can I sit with you at dinner as well," she asked, she looked so adorably delighted to be so close to him. Chris didn't look opposed to her being in his personal space either. "Of course you can," he told the blond, pushing a stray hair back from her face. Renee looked to Nagi. "Same thing," she asked.

Ellie came flying down the hall, swinging her way into Recha and Kim's room. "Guess who just scored the ultimate date to homecoming," she asked. Her blue eyes were shinning. "Me! Vin agreed to take me," she said dreamily. "Also, I have news about your club. I talked to the workshop teacher, he agreed that he'd allow for you to use spare parts, if and only if you agree to do a presentation for his class so that they can get involved for extra credit." She glanced over her shoulder and giggled. "Looks like the freshmen are getting acquainted. This is going to be such an amazing year."

Xen didn't have a watch, so he looked up towards the sky, in the direction of the sun. He had a pretty good general understanding of how to measure time based upon the position of the sun. It was something he'd learned at a young age. It was always useful. It was still pretty early in the day, so maybe it would be best to sit out here, but she was a freshman and probably wanted to know where everything was at. "I can show you around the school," he offered. This was the most he'd spoken. She had gotten more words in a day than he  offered to most people in a year.

To be honest, when Nagi saw the blond fling herself at Chris, he kinda wished he'd chosen her after all. She seemed almost too easy. Then again, a challenge was always fun. He looked back to Renee when she asked if she could sit with him for dinner too. "I'd be pretty disappointed if you didn't," he admitted with a smile. Not disappointed in the sense that he was expecting it of her, but disappointed in the sense that he'd be pretty much alone at the table, because her friends would be with his friends and then he'd be bored. But that was too much talk to put into a few words.

Kim blinked when Ellie came flinging herself into the room, tilting his head curiously when she said she had a date to homecoming. He visibly deflated though, when she said that her date was going to be Vin, and he buried his head into the sheets of his bed and groaned, pretty much ignoring everything Ellie said after that. He heard Recha chuckle and say "tough luck, man." The only response Kim had for that was to flip him off without raising his head from the bed.

Fara looked up at Xen when he offered to show her around the school. She guessed it would be good for her to learn where everything was around the building, so she didn't get lost while trying to make her way to her classes. "Okay," she said with a nod and a smile. That would be nice. The first day of school and she already had a friend! Just wait until she told her mom, she'd be so happy!

Ellie blinked several times over. "Huh? You're not happy about the scrap metal?" She glanced at the younger twin who made a comment and then she put her hand over her mouth, before she inched into the room and closed the door with her foot. "Kim? You know that Vin is straight right," she asked in a small whisper, as if saying it aloud would have caused some sort of bad luck or something. She tucked her hands into her blazer pockets. "You know, you could ask-oh...nevermind, that's not my place to say." She gave a slightly nervous look. She didn't like putting people's business out there. "Anyway, if you're looking for a date, I'm setting up a speed date thingy for those who can't find a date to Homecoming. It will happen on Thursday during lunch and it will be really fun."

Renee smiled. Nagi was indeed charming "As would I," she said as she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll see you tonight," she said with a wink. "Genie, Luna, I think we should let these three go before they get too attached." Genie and Luna giggled and then gave a small wave goodbye before they went into their room and closed the door. Their giggles increasing once they were in the privacy of their own rooms.

Chris looked from Nagi to Nick. "Boys, we're going to score so big," he told them as he started towards his friend's room. "New room, cute girls, now we just need booze." Nick nodded. "We find some juniors and we'll have just that," he informed his cousin.

Kim didn't say anything when Ellie asked whether or not he was happy about the scrap metal. What could he say? He was a bit too downtrodden by the fact that Vin had a date. And even worse, according to Ellie, he was completely straight. Kim had guessed as much, but at least until now he'd had some hope to hold onto. In response to her question about Vin, Kim just grumbled an incomprehensible statement into his sheets, that sounded an awful lot like a miserable version of "Yeah, I know..." Recha only grinned lightly and shook his head, turning his attention back to Ellie. "Come on Ellie, at least give him a backup plan. Don't let him mope around here during Homecoming, he'll bug the crap out of me." At which Kim flipped him off again. "And god knows he won't speed date. I mean...gay or not, he's got too much pride for that," he snickered, nearly jumping off his bed when Kim immediately propped himself up and glared at him. "Hey, fuck off! My being gay has nothing to do with my pride, it's a completely separate matter!" Kim couldn't stand the fact that even his brother was sometimes stupid enough to think that his sexual preference determined what his personality was going to be like. "Alright, alright, sorry, don't kill me in my sleep, jeez," Recha said, his red eyes fairly wide at the hostility his brother had suddenly come out with. "God, keep acting like that and you'll never get a date to Homecoming," he mumbled, looking back to his notepad, only to send Kim back into sulking on his bed. The teal haired twin propped his head up by placing his chin on his hands before giving a sigh and looking at Ellie. "Thanks for the update about the club." Hey, he couldn't help it if he was upset that one of the hottest guys in school was straight as an arrow.

Nagi smiled lightly when Renee said she'd also be disappointed, blinking in surprise when she kissed him on the cheek. It was only surprising because...well, he'd literally just asked her to be his date to Homecoming. Nothing else had happened. Maybe it was a good thing he picked this chick after all...and then she winked at him, and that just confirmed it all. "See you tonight," he repeated with a smirk, giving a small wave. When they went into their room, Nagi grinned. "It's official. This school's great. First day here, and we're pretty much set for the entire semester." He waved Chris and Nick along. "Come on, let's go make sure that guy knows not to get too comfy in that room," he told them, starting towards their dorm room.

Ellie watched the exchange between the brothers. She felt like she was the cause of their argument and felt the need to right things between the two of them and give Kim some hope of finding a date for Homecoming. "Please don't argue," she pleaded. "I'm sure we can figure something out. It's not my place to say, but there is someone who's looking for a date that can't find one." She shuffled her feet nervously. "Said person isn't sure that they want to take a person of the same sex, but I think said person would feel better if someone approached them, versus the other way around." She glanced at Kim. "You know, in case you were interested." She gave a small smile and then looked to Recha. "What about you, are you coming to homecoming?"

Ivaline made her way down the hall, her expression ever so sour. She hadn't met a single one of her roommates and she was beginning to think they were ignoring her. She ended up walking past the blond haired guy who looked as if he'd just taken a shower with his clothes on. That made him drop on her coolness scale, but he was hot, so she'd give him some slack. Walking past students as they moved through the halls, she peaked her head into a room here and there, wondering who was who and if they were interesting. She found her way to the opposite end of the hall where she read over the bulletin board. "I wonder if there's a music club." She'd kill to play in a band. She loved to play electric guitar.

Chris nodded. "Hell yeah man. I mean, what are the chances of three of them and three of us?" Nick chuckled lightly at their excitement. Chris waltzed his way into the bedroom and blinked when he didn't see the guy was gone. "Uh, where did he go?" His gaze shifted from side to side. Nick snickered. "Probably to explore like every other freshman." Chris sighed. "Blah, I'm still moving in."

(Ivaline could play guitar with Kim x3)

Kim slowly raised an eyebrow as Ellie spoke about some guy that might take another guy to Homecoming if asked. "Ellie...there's a lot of boys in this school. I have absolutely no clue which one you're referring to," he told her bluntly. How could she possibly expect him to figure out which guy she was talking about just by her saying 'said person' over and over again? Kim merely rolled his eyes when she asked Recha if he was going to Homecoming.

Recha had pretty much tuned out the conversation until he heard Ellie directing a question towards him. "Huh, what? Oh, me. Um, no," he gave a small chuckle and shook his head. "I'm not big on social gatherings. Especially one where having a date is expected," he told her, giving a small shrug. She had no idea about his nervousness with being around others, as far as he knew, and he wanted it that way with as many people as possible. However...he was kind of dreading the fact that she'd probably tell him how easy it would be for him to get a date if he wanted. And then he'd have to tell her how he really didn't want to. And then she'd probably ask why, even though he'd just told her. Not that he actually knew Ellie well enough to know if she'd do that for sure though. He just knew she was gossipy and peppy all the time.

Sorca had been talking with a few of the girls she'd managed to make friends out of during her time at Roulette High when she saw Mickey pass by. She blinked and watched him curiously. They already had plans for after dinner and the weekend, but...he looked a bit ticked off right now. And he was soaking wet, so he was going to end up having to take off those clothes anyways...Sorca smirked lightly. She could control herself until after dinner. Sure, she wanted Mickey, but she wasn't going to tail him around like a little puppy dog. Though she was sure she could tempt him into doing something with her now to relieve some of that tension that was so clear in his movements. Or she could taunt him with it later and let him fuck away all that frustration. Sorca nearly snickered. She really was horrible. When she spotted the little freshman from earlier, she decided that after she was satisfied with Mickey, maybe she'd help the girl get a shot with him. After all, it was clear that the kid had a thing for him. Not that the older female could blame her.

Boreas had spent a good deal of time looking for the bookstore, and when he'd found it, took an even greater deal of time looking through the notebooks and different types of pens they had, seemingly completely absorbed in it. He only had a limited amount of money, so a good pen was priority. These pen's weren't too expensive, but at the same time...that left the brown haired male wondering if they'd even be any good.

(She'd really enjoy that.)

Ellie blushed. "Oh, well, said person will nine times out of ten be in the library tonight after dinner studying Mythology." Said person wasn't very good in the subject and was practically drowning in it, something about the teacher making him nervous and him not being able to grasp all these gods and goddesses and their relationships. Ellie thought the class was easy, but that was just her. She was an Honor Student after all. "So if you're good in that category, it's plus." She smirked. "Furthest table in the back on the second floor. They'll be sitting in a corner with their back against the wall and a magazine over the cover of the book." She winked at Kim and then frowned when Recha said he wouldn't be attending. "Do you need a date as well? I'm sure I could find you one as well," she mused. "It's really not that hard." She'd honestly been surprised when Vin had pulled little old her off to the side to ask if she would accompany him. She'd had to hold back a squeal. A sophomore with a senior, yes, she could live with that.

Batsu had escaped Uriyuu's ranting about how they should have a curfew that began at midnight instead of ten and how the food had better be good this year. Honestly, he didn't want to hear it and before he could tell the guy to shut his trap, he dismissed himself and left, closing the door behind him. Cross hadn't returned, but he'd seen Mickey and heard Kymin, which meant one of two things, Cross was in trouble or he just didn't want to come back. Batsu could analyze him too. Cross Kiline may have been a deadpan and a lone wolf, but he always seemed to be at the right place at the right time to break up some kind of unwanted conflict, like he'd done with Onihana and Mutsu. Batsu couldn't figure out whether the guy did it because he just didn't like conflict, or because those two were constantly getting on his nerves.

Mickey pulled off his shirt and pants and redressed quickly before Kymin could come back into the room. He had a smug look on his face and he wanted to strangle the guy as much as he wanted to strangle that freak Kiline. He kicked the side of his bed. "I swear to God I'll get them both," he grumbled. He sat down on his bed and looked at his uniform. It was ruined, which meant he'd have to buy another, which was no problem, but wasting unnecessary money was outrageous. He'd get back at Kymin for sure and he knew just the person to talk to.

Haven made his way to the bookstore. He just wanted to see what they had. He had already gotten all of his supplies, but his mother and father had given him a good deal of money to last him, and while spending it all in one go was not a wise idea, it wouldn't hurt to check and see if there was something worth buying.

Kim blinked at the description that Ellie gave. Back of the second floor of the library, studying mythology. Now that was something he could go off of. He just hoped Ellie wasn't pulling his leg after finding out about his and Recha's little prank. The teal haired male gave a light smile. "Thanks Ellie." He doubted it. That wasn't her style.

Recha blinked when Ellie asked if he needed a date. Persistent chick, wasn't she. "No, I don't need a date. I'm just not big on social gatherings. Not everyone can be a social butterfly like you," he teased with a small chuckle. "Thanks though."

Sorca waited a few moments after Mickey went into his room to make sure no one else was going in or out and then made her way over, slipping inside his room without even bothering to knock. She closed the door behind her and leaned against it with a sultry smile, locking the door while her hands were still behind her back. "Aw, and here I was hoping I'd catch you still undressing," she teased, making her way over to the attractive blond male. "You look a little bit stressed out, Mickey," she stated, standing in front of him with her arms crossed in such a way that it gave a little bit more of a show of something that really didn't need much for attention to be drawn to it. "I could help with that," she offered, her emerald eyes shining.

It wasn't too long after Haven came into the bookstore that Boreas decided on a pen that looked like it would suit his needs. Unfortunately, it was one of the most expensive calligraphy pens there, which left him only enough money to buy a single cheap notebook to go with it. But then again, maybe it would be better for him to buy a folder so that he could put some loose sheets in there that he could 'borrow' from the library's printer. Instead of buying the notebook, Boreas decided on a decent looking folder, one that didn't look as if it would rip apart within a month, since the folders were scandalously cheap. On his way to the register, Boreas was reading over the back of the pen case as he walked, for it came in a black hard case. He supposed getting ink for this pen wouldn't be too hard. They had some selling right next to the pen itself, and it wasn't too expensive. As he walked, he didn't realize that he was on a direct collision course with someone, and when he glanced up, he ended up bumping into said person just as he did. He recognized the guy as one of the kids from his room. "Oh hey. Sorry, wasn't paying attention," he said lightly.

"Any time, Kim." She gave a small smile. She would do anything to help out her friends, especially if she thought something good would come of it. She then grinned at Recha, giving a small laugh. "I suppose this is true. You enjoy your evening that night and make sure you come to the Halloween party and prom. I shall be taking my leave now, see you all later," she said as she waved goodbye and headed for her own room. It was time for her to sit down and relax a bit. If anyone needed her, they knew where to find her.

Mickey didn't look up when the door closed. He figured it was one of his roommates trying to escape the noise of the other students. He did however turn when he heard Sorca. She was hot as hell and he'd love to see what she could do to lessen the tension and stress. He looked her over once. He wanted her. "You can do whatever you please. We could both enjoy this." He smirked.

Haven was sort of just scanning the bookstore, until someone bumped into him. He gave an apologetic look and then apologized. "Sorry." He shook his head when the guy said he wasn't paying attention. "Neither was I." He blinked when he noticed it was the guy from his dorm. "Oh, hi," he greeted quietly. His smile was tiny and nervous. "Buying pens?" That was a stupid question, but it was the first thing he saw.

When Ellie walked out of the room, both Kim and Recha gave a perfectly synced "see you later". The red haired twin looked over to his brother. "So, are you gonna go see about this guy after dinner?" he asked curiously.

Kim sighed and gave a small shrug. "I dunno...maybe. What if all Ellie heard was a rumor about him and he's not actually into guys?" he asked with a frown.

"Then at least it'd be in the library where it's all hush hush." Recha chuckled when Kim rolled his eyes at the horrible pun.

"That was really bad. Even for you." Kim took a breath. "I might...agh, I dunno. Maybe..."

"Yeah I know. But I think you should give it a shot. Unlike me, you actually want to go to Homecoming, and I can't see you going by yourself."

"If I don't have a date, I'm not going," Kim mumbled, looking off to the side. "It'd be pathetic. And I'm not taking a girl," he said, shooting his brother a look.

"Hey, I didn't say anything about that. You don't gotta take a girl if you don't wanna. Speaking of, what happened with those girls from before?"

"...I made one of them cry."

Recha blinked in surprise. "What? How? You?"

"Yeah, me." He sighed. "I told her that I wasn't into chicks and she took it personally. She thought I just didn't want to go with her because she was a freshman. I mean...the joke wasn't supposed to be to break a single girl's heart, just to leave a bunch of the stalkerish ones disappointed. I couldn't say yes to her only for her to find out later that it was all...you know. No girl wants to be a gay guy's last straight relationship," he said, shaking his head. "It makes them think there's something wrong with them."

Recha tilted his head curiously. "Huh. Never really thought of that. Well, she can't really blame you. You let her off easy. Once she sees you at Homecoming with a dude, she'll realize you weren't actually being an ass. Well, you were, but...she'll see that you weren't lying to her."

Kim only rolled his eyes. "Gee thanks. Hmph. I'm gonna take a nap," he huffed, moving onto his bed and laying down so that his back was to Recha. "Don't wanna deal with any other crazy fangirls right now."

"Alright. I'll wake you up for dinner."

"Thanks."

A slow grin spread over Sorca's face when Mickey gave her permission to do whatever she wanted with him. That grin turned into a smirk when the blond said they could both enjoy this. "How considerate of you to think of me like that," she teased, starting forward after loosening the tie on her uniform enough to toss it off and onto Mickey's bed. Gave him easier access to other things. She stepped forward and made herself nice and comfortable, straddling Mickey's lap in such a way that she was pressed right up against him. She laid one arm over his shoulder, while running her free hand lightly through his wet hair. Licking her lips lightly, Sorca leaned forward and pecked Mickey's lips with a playful kiss. "You know the best thing about skirts?" she asked, leaning forward so that her breasts were all but squished against the male's chest. "They don't really get in the way," she purred, biting her lower lip playfully.

When Kymin finally made his way back to his room, he tried the doorknob only to find that it was locked. Green eyes blinked and he tried again. He gave an irritated sigh and pounded on the door a couple times. "Mickey, open up damn it. At least let me grab a set of dry clothes." Why did this guy have to be such an asshole? He pounded on the door again. "Come on, it's not like I plan on being in the room for hours, I just need to change."

Sorca's grin faded lightly and she turned her head towards the door when she heard Kymin Onihana's voice. She looked back to Mickey with a slightly raised eyebrow as if asking 'what are you going to do about that?' While waiting for him to answer Kymin, Sorca didn't bother moving from Mickey's lap, but instead her grin returned and she slowly and teasingly started moving against Mickey's lap. It would be funner trying to hear him talk to Kymin while she was getting him all riled up like this. She'd been tempted to let her hair down, but figured it would get in the way if he wanted access to her neck. She'd gone to classes with hickey's on her neck before, so they didn't really bother her, and while a couple teachers had tried to scold her or question her for it, it never really made a difference to her. Not like she was gonna change her ways for them.

Boreas couldn't help but wonder why this kid was so nervous. Did he think he was gonna yell at him or something? "Hm? Oh, yeah. Didn't have any decent ones for writing," he said with a shrug. Technically he was only buying one pen, but he didn't need to go into specifics or get picky about details. "What're you here to pick up?" he asked curiously. Now he was just making conversation in order to get the kid to stop being so nervous. It was one thing if the guy was just shy, but another when he was nervous or scared. Maybe the kid had an anxiety disorder. Boreas himself had had one when he'd been younger, or so said his and Jasper's psychiatrist. Their parents had wanted to make sure that there was nothing really wrong with the two of them. Not out of a sense of dread or hate, they were just making sure the two of them were dealing with everything alright. Boreas was sure he'd never completely outgrown that 'anxiety' thing he'd been diagnosed with. He'd just learned to cope with it better by being alone. His doctor said that his anxiety had turned into something of an antisocial personality disorder instead. It was very minor, the guy had said, but still there nonetheless.

Haven didn't see what the difference was between a fancy looking pen and a non-fancy looking pen. They were all the same to him, as long as they wrote. It was why he preferred pencils, they all wrote the same. He decided to dismiss his unspoken and unanswered thoughts. Green eyes were round when he was questioned. "I'm just looking around. Everyone is exploring and I figured it would be fun to look around a bit." He looked at the ground. He kind of wanted to buy a gift for his mom, but he didn't know what to get her. "I wonder if they have any gift items." That was a stupid thing to say aloud. Of course they did, he just needed to look around and find where they were instead of expecting it to come out of the blue.

Mickey had no protest as Sorca straddled him. He smirked as she pressed herself up against him and he didn't bother controlling the need to ravish her. His hands made their way around her waist and up her shirt. Her comment on her skirt made the heavy pierced male's right hand veer off course and down towards her skirt, were his fingers slid over the top of the lining and inside, pausing when there was a knock on the door and Kymin's voice followed. "Should have brought your key," he called. He looked at Sorca, meeting her gaze and then he smiled before his hand went past her skirt and past her undergarments. He leaned forward and kissed her and then he moved towards her neck, one hand caressing her breast and the other slowly getting to work.

Boreas tilted his head when Haven said he was just looking around. "Yeah, I guess that makes sense," he said, giving small shrug. "The school store's a good place to look," he nodded. He wasn't even being sarcastic. It was good to know if the school store had what you needed before you actually needed it. When Haven said he wondered if they had gifts, Boreas shrugged and nudged him on the arm. "Let's go find out," he said, waving him along as he started further into the store.

Sorca bit her lip lightly when she felt Mickey's hands wandering over her body and pushed herself against his hands, just so he could get a better 'feel'. She waited for him to tell his roommate to go away before leaning forward and kissing him. "Good choice," she chuckled with a smile. A small, quiet noise escaped her when she felt his hand start working down below and she let both of her arms rest over Mickey's shoulders. "Mmm..." Right now she had to be quiet with him, but that didn't mean she couldn't make small, subtle noises just to turn him on. She moved her hips against his hand and pressed against him in a kiss, giving a small, quiet moan into it.

"Yeah, cuz I had planned on getting dragged out of the room," Kymin growled in irritation. "Open the damn door Mutsu!" he called, pounding on the door one more time. He didn't want to have to resort to asking campus security for a spare key, but he also didn't want to end up walking around soaking wet until Mickey stopped being an ass.

Haven was already short for his age and he had a sort of childlike vibe with his round green eyes and innocent look. When Boreas nudged him, he looked a bit embarrassed, but all the same he felt pretty good that someone offered to do something with him. "T-thanks," he said as he followed after the older male. He wanted to ask why he was here as a freshman, but he didn't want to cross a line and upset someone. "I think I'll get a gift for my mom. Her favorite color is blue, but I think she'd be happy with anything." He swallowed lightly. He hoped he wasn't talking too much.

"Dude, go ask someone to give you spare clothes," he called back. That was all he had to say, for he had a sexy girl on his lap and she was about to give herself to him. He was ready to take her now, but to hear her moan like that was irresistible. He moved his hand a bit faster, slipping in another finger. He kissed her and then lifted her up, turning her over so that she was on the bed. "You're so fucking hot," he murmured against her lips. ""I've waited all summer for this."

"No problem." The amber eyed male looked at Haven with a light smile when the boy started talking about how he wanted to get a gift for his mom. "Oh yeah? Bet she'll be happy you're thinking of her either way," Boreas told the younger male with a smile. Looking around as he walked, Boreas stopped when they came to a section that had a bunch of gifts related to the school. Stuffed animals, cups...hell, it even looked like they had little vanity boxes for women's makeup. "Here we go," he said with a nod. "I'm sure there's something here she'll like, right?"

The red haired junior had to keep herself from gasping lightly when Mickey added another finger, instead giving a very telling moan into the kiss. Because of how much she got around, being quiet during things like this wasn't really that hard for her. She could still be quiet and seductive at the same time. Besides, all the noise out in the hallway gave her a bit of leeway to make at least a little bit of noise herself. However, when her and Mickey found a more secluded spot, she'd make sure to be nice and loud, just for him, since he seemed to be enjoying her little noises so much. When the blond lifted her and put her onto the bed, she couldn't help but to giggle a bit against his lips when he spoke. She ran her hands slowly and sensually over his clothed chest, her green eyes shining in amusement. "Hmhm, you were thinking of me over summer?" she teased, wrapping one arm around the back of his neck and pulling him in for a deep kiss. When she pulled away, she was rather breathless. "I'm flattered," she smirked, her free hand expertly unbuttoning the front of Mickey's shirt so that she could run her hand along his bare skin. She wondered if he was going to have the same idea, and play with her a bit first, or if he was so pent up that he wanted to go right into it. Not like she'd mind either way. A lot of the guys she'd been with in this school didn't have the faintest idea what 'foreplay' was. And Mickey was just another guy in the school, after all.

Kymin blinked when Mickey told him to go borrow clothes from somebody else. Was he fucking serious? Why was he so-wait. The guy didn't exactly sound pissed off anymore, just impatient. What was he...oh. Kymin blinked again. Oh. He had someone in there, didn't he? The black haired male sighed. The bastard couldn't have at least waited for him to grab a change of clothes before deciding to fuck someone in their room? Clicking his tongue, Kymin turned and started towards one of his buddy's rooms. Might as well take Mickey's advice and borrow a pair of clothes, since the guy didn't seem liable to let him into the room any time soon. Still, Kymin couldn't help but wonder who he had in there. If there was one thing that him and Mickey had a mutual agreement on, it was not to walk in on the other while they were having sex. It was an unspoken agreement, but an agreement nonetheless.

Haven concealed his excitement when they found the gifts. He didn't want to look like a child who'd just been presented with a truck load of candy. "Thanks," he said with a grateful nod. "This is perfect." He went about the stand of gifts, finding his way towards a clear and blue figurine. He picked up the unicorn and then the elephant. His mother loved elephants. He smiled. "I think I'll get her the elephant." It had the school's initials on it. He should probably get something for his dad too, albeit his dad usually didn't use anything Haven bought him. He looked around. Akami would probably want something too. He was only two, but Haven could still get him something, like a hat or a ball. Yeah, he found the perfect one in the sports area and then he got a hat for his dad. "I think I'm all set."

Mickey's Reply (Mature):

Boreas looked around the gifts as Haven was browsing and briefly felt a bit depressed. Even if he had the money he wouldn't bother buying his family gifts. What the fuck did they care, anyways. They'd sent him off to a fucking boarding school and Jasper's only advice to him had been 'stop failing at everything'. The brown haired male frowned. Yeah, to hell with them. He wondered if he saved up whatever allowance they gave him if it would be enough to run the hell away from this school and live in the city for a while. Maybe he could get a job on a newspaper or something. Hell, maybe he could find a junior editing company willing to publish some of his works. He blinked out of his thoughts and his frown faded when Haven said he was all set. "Huh? Oh, okay. I don't think I'm getting anything from this section," he said with a shrug, waving Haven along as he headed for the check out lines. Or rather, the checkout area. No one was really in line, except for one other person.
