Over the Fence (Looking Mirror/Ignorance Isn't Bliss AU)

[Teesie]

Alex smiled to the smaller male and slowly pulled him along through the hall with him. The other had just asked a question in which the older male thought was quite common. "You have no idea Erin. Firstly, their so moody and then again Maria is a bit scary. Girls always want something and since I'm the oldest they always expect me to give them things." Laughing lightly as he rolled his eyes.

 

The orange haired male pulled his friend down stairs and into the area where his sisters were residing. The oldest teen walked over to Jane and picked her up. Kissing the small girl's plump lips before setting her down once again. Alex turned to Rosa and kissed her forehead before quickly doing the same to Maria. He knew the egotistic twin didn't really like his affection all that much. It was clearly funny to the brother of the three.

 

Upon turning and spotting Coyote, Alex let out a large smile and rushed to the elderly man quickly. It was seriously a pleasant time to be around the eccentric man. It was a plus to having Erin come over.

 

---

 

Coyote shook his head at his womanly friend before glancing over the two who had entered the room. Moments passed as the orange haired teen dashed over to him. Sighing the man stood to refill his glass with liquor. Coyote didn't really like being viewed as a outlet for laughter, it was never his intentions; but he liked Alex though.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

Erin chuckled, he understood what the other meant. Back in the Human Zone he had to look after his own younger brothers, and they...well took after their father. They were also pretty spoiled by the man too, so the could be really needy, but unlike the man they were still children so the brunette found it understandable. He never really mentioned this though, since it could be the gateway to some really uncomfortable topics.

 

Out of the corner of his eye the half-demon noticed that two new people joined them. He vaguely recognized the man as a Healer that worked with Alex's father in the Freelancers, but the boy sitting next to the snake demon was highly unfamiliar, though he smelt strongly of an angel, which was weird. What is the world was an angel doing here...though he smelt a bit off, so maybe he was a fallen? The thought made him frown...wasn't he a bit young?

 

Ignoring the new guests for the moment Erin walked over to his guardian and snickered as he got somewhat harassed by Alex. "Looks like you got a fanboy, Old Man," The cat-eyed boy joked, teasing both his friend and Coyote now. Old Man was a nickname the brunette found funny for the demonic man, and had started calling Coyote that a few months back, and had been calling him that ever since.

 

Maria made a face when Alex kissed her forehead and quickly wiped it off. The younger teen stuck out her tongue at him, while Rosa snickered at her sisters antics, holding onto Jane.

 

Maya walked back in, and announced that supper would be ready in ten minutes. After that she sat down next to Abel, and motioned for her son to come over. "Alex, you remember Abel, right?" She asked, gesturing to the tall demon. She knew the two only met a couple of times, one of them being when her son was eight and broke him arm scaling a tree like an idiot.

 

"It's nice to see you, young one," Abel said politely, with a kind smile. Next to him Ruune glanced up at the people around him before looking down at his lap. Part of him wondered why Abel brought him here...was the demonic man sick of him? Was he just dropping him off here and leaving? The thought made pale green eyes widen, and a whimper forced it's way up his throat...he really thought the healer had liked him.

[Teesie]

Coyote gave a small glance toward his adoptive son at the statement that he had given. It was true, Alex was like his own little fan boy. One that the man wish he didn't have. Giving a small sigh the elderly man sent a glare to the nickname that Erin had gave to him as of lately. The grey haired conman found it to be a blessing to be his age, it was something that the other wished he could achieve. Placing the cup to the opening of his lips, Coyote downed the liquor at one time. Shooing the adoptive son away, the elderly male pointed to Ruune without saying a word; wanting Erin to go and introduce himself to the silver haired teen.

 

---

Alex spun around to his mother and gave a smile at the man that he had not noticed when coming down the stairway. The kid beside him was who attracted the older teen more though. Saying a quick 'hey' to Abel, the orange orbs focused on Ruune. "Who's this though?" Giving the fallen angel some space. Alex could tell tha Ruu was feeling scared and a bit insecure and he didn't want to make the other have a panic attack.

 

"I'm Alex." Introducing himself to the other so as to not place pressure on the silver haired male. This boy was even thinner than Erin and that was saying something. At that thought, the orange head teen forced a chuckle away before giving a slight smile. All in all...the other was a cute kid.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

It took a second for Ruu to think, since the signs were still new to him and everything, but he was sure Abel with correct him if he got it wrong. The small boy held out his hand as if he wait for a high-five for a second and then placed it over his heart, 'My', and then held out his index and middle fingers on both hands and then put his left hand below his right hand and tapped them twice, 'Name'. After that the fallen spelled out his name, though his fingers were a little shaky, 'R-U-U-N-E'. Abel smiled down at the boy, ruffling his hair, Ruu had gotten it right and that made the man rather proud.

 

Erin, who didn't really know sign language gave the two a kind of confused look. Catching the look Abel gave a tiny chuckle and explained to the confused brunette, "He said his name is Ruune. He is mute, so he is learning sign language to communicate." The half-demon nodded lightly, that made sense. He heard of sign language before, but had never really seen someone use it. He remembered, though, Alex mentioned that he and his mother knew it because of his cousin or something...Erin really needed to pay attention sometimes.

 

"Hey kiddo, I'm Erin," He introduced, smiling softly at the smaller teen, "It's nice to meet ya."

 

Ruu smiled weakly, and gave a small wave, though he still stay close to Abel. Slowly he began to sign again and ended up signing out 'Nice to meet you', though he pointed at both Alex and Erin, since he didn't know how to say, both of you, yet.

 

Maya smiled, proud that her quite excitable son didn't pounce right on the kid. "Didn't ya have a question for my son, Abel?" She asked the man as she watched the demon run his clawed hand carefully through the younger fallen's silver hair.

 

"Ah, yes, I did," Abel began, smiling lightly at the two teens, "Well, Ruu's going to be joining school soon and he needs someone to look out for him, and understand him. Do you mind looking out for Ruune, Alex?"

 

At the question Ruu almost sighed in relief...so the healer wasn't getting rid of him like he thought. The smaller allowed himself to relax a little, feeling a tiny bit more sure about being around these people...well as long as Abel didn't leave his side at the moment.

[Teesie]

Orange eyes was confused for a moment before he realized the other was doing sign language. The teen could be a bit dense at times. So it seemed as if the cutie's name was Ruune. That was a strange, yet cute name. A bright smile broke from Alex's lips before nodding to the other. "Nice to meet you." Placing both hands on his hip and keeping a smile on his expression. The smaller kid was surely a cutie that was for sure.

 

"Didn't ya have a question for my son, Abel?"[/Quote]

 

Alex raised a brow before looking to the healer that worked with his father. Of course he remembered the man how couldn't he. The man was most likely a nurse of his when younger. Everytime he was hurt, Abel was the one to repair his wounds.

 

After Abel was done speaking the orange haired male nodded before averting his attention back to the smaller male. "I'll watch after you ok Ruune? Me and Erin....but I'm not sure that that one over there," Pointing to the other teen who was his peer. "will be that helpful." Laughing slightly at the other.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

At his best friend's words Erin pouted, shoving the other slightly, "Hey~, I'll be plenty of help," Erin retorted, whining slightly. Watching the two friends antics made Ruu, for the first in a long time, let out a small giggle. He found Erin and Alex to be rather funny, and they were nothing like his brother, nor his father so they might not hurt him.

 

So began the friendship between Ruune, Erin and Alex. It seemed the two were just the people the scarred Fallen needed to start to trust again, and so once school started it went off with little problem for the silver haired boy.

 

---On Year Later---(Erin and Alex are 18 and Ruune is 16)

 

Erin sat boredly in the auditorium between his two best friends, a half-fallen teen named Alex Mahiya, and a Fallen boy named Ruune Ezal, well, Ezal now that he decided to take Abel's last name. It was gesture that made the snake demon almost cry when Ruu requested it before school started this year. The half-demon sighed slightly, they all knew why they were here, hell the whole school knew why they were here; it was the treaty. The Treaty went into effect today, and thus the twenty transfer student, a mix of fellow teens from both the Angelic Realm and Human Zone, would be joining them for the year. A lot of people called bull shit on this treaty...but it seemed as if the Neutral Zone leaders were really trying to make it work. Hell, just yesterday they had another assembly just to make sure that they, as in the Neutral Realm students, knew the golden rule...stand as a united front. It was the golden rule of not only the school, but the entire Neutral Zone so that little assembly was all bullshit, did they think they were stupid?

 

So today they were going to be introducing the twenty students...great. Though...the thought of the Human Zone students made him bite his lip, he wondered if his ex-boyfriend, Arish, was among the transfers.

 

On the other side of the spectrum Ruu felt highly nervous. The mute boy fiddled with the pen on a chain around his neck, Erin's idea so that the boy would always have something to write with, earlier yesterday he swore to the Gods he felt his bro-no, someone who was once his brother, after not feeling him through the link for so long. So the small, silver haired boy knew without a shadow of doubt that Isaan was here and that made Ruu extremely uneasy. He didn't want to see his twin...ever. He let out a small sigh...okay, maybe that was a lie...but he at least didn't want the other to see him at least...he was scared of Isaan.

 

----

 

Kay looked out at the student body over the podium, they all seemed rightfully nervous and edgy. No one liked the Realm Officials, and no one liked the Elite Hunters, it was obvious, but the Demoni was becoming out of hand. People went missing everyday from both Zones, so it was a necessity to at least try to work together, the woman could see that. She glanced back stage, where the transfers waited, just as edgy as the Neutral Zoners in the audience.

 

The lights began to dim, and a spot light landed on Kay, and the woman took a deep breath before beginning her speech. At least she had Morgan check it earlier, to make sure it was free of too much offensive language. "Hello, thank you all for being proper students and showing up, instead of being like me when I was a kid and play hookie," She began, getting a small laugh out of the student body, "I'm sure you all heard from your parents or guardians of the Treaty that had been stuck between the Neutral Zone and the Human Zone. As a part of our agreement we agreed on a one year cultural exchange between our two Zones. For one year twenty students from both the Human Zone's high school, St. Micheal's, and the Angelic Realm's high school, which has a name that I'm not even going to try and pronounce," An other laugh from the audience, "Will be joining us at Ash Creek High School for the entire year, as well as living within the Neutral Zone for an entire year. As one of the Neutral Zone Leaders I wish to remind you all that this is very import exchange, so try and make these students feel welcomed, they are very brave to be leaving their homes for a year. So...without further adieu I give the floor to your principle, that's all folks!" She gave a somewhat silly two finger salute before walking off stage. She sat down with the teachers and breathed a sigh of relief...she hated public speaking so fucking much!

 

"Okay, now after that...er...wonderful speech from Kay, I will call out the names of each transfer student, and when I do they will take a seat in the two vacant rows up front...now why I am doing this I expect you all to be respectful, that means now, booing, name calling or throwing of items....and I mean you Mahiya Twins...," The man ended strictly, glaring the twin girl's way, making the two duck in their seats. The man picked up a sheet of paper and began reading off names.

[Teesie]

Alex hastily turned to throw a glance at the two twin girls, which were his younger sisters, and gave a small cackle. The two always seemed to get themselves in trouble even if the girls were being total angels, albeit that was almost never. After the brief attention to his sisters, the orange haired teen engrossed his attention into the names being called in the auditorium.

 

The treaty, in Alex's personal opinion, was complete bullshit. Maybe this was encouraged by certain sayings from his mother and her behavior, but the male was honestly feeling that hostility. The Neurtal Zone should not be willing to lend a hand to those who had abandoned the citizens so long ago. Ones that looked down upon the morals of the demons and fallens that resided here.

 

The acting of care as well as even accepting to agree to sending students from the other realms school to Ash Creek High School was exactly that, acting. It was no use for the agreement it was stupid to Alex. The mighty, non-sinful angels and other highly, uppity beings could have stayed away from the school. Tte students here was just fine without any more classmates joining to bustling around; though one thing that made the teen feel saddened was the small amount of hope lingering in Erin's eyes and also in Ruune's but being forces away. The two was hoping that ones they loved would show up and stay for the year. That would be the only time the Alex respect one also, only if the other knew Ruune and Erin. The rest could go to hell and burn for eternity.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

The names were being read off in alphabetical order, by last name of course. Erin really didn't pay that much attention until the principle reached the Ls, with that the half-demon leaned a little more forward in his seat. The brunette held his breath until a highly familiar name was called.

 

"Lefunt, Arish." And Erin exhaled, green eyes wide, and he couldn't help the small smile that crossed his lips. But he also felt dread bubble up in the pit of his stomach...would his former boyfriend hate him?

 

Ruune was going through a similar process, but instead it was filled with dread instead of hope. Once the principle reached the Ns the small teen just wanted to cover his ears and block out the name he knew was coming.

 

"Nimparon, Isaan." And Ruu almost broke down right there. He slipped more down in his seat, shaking a little. This...this was horrible! The silver haired twin felt tears begin to form in his eyes as a slightly horrified expression crossed his face. His heart pounded in his chest as he began to try and distract himself by fiddling with the medical bracelet on his wrist; the one that, ironically, notified one of his panic attacks abd anxiety disorder.

[Teesie]

Alex was did not really like the expression that crossed his best friends face once the name 'Lefunt, Arish' was called. Seems like it was easier to find the right guy, the one that Erin was in love with. Immediately gazing down through the crowd, the orange eyes captured the exterior of a black haired male. True the other was handsome, but it meant nothing. After a while of thinking the teen groaned, striking his forehead for being so stupid. Arish was not a bad guy....right? Erin was the one to break up with the half angel and not the other way around. Alex could accept the other teen....at least at first.

 

Though what engrossed his attention more was the action that Ruune pulled. If Alex had to guess he would think that the mute teen was simply frightned. Seemed as if 'Nimparon, Isaan' would be an enemy of his. No matter how many years ago it was, the older of the three boys would not forgive those who hurt his friends. That was just unacceptable and Alex could hold a grudge even if it wasn't his problem.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

The principle finally got through the list of names and all the transfers were seated, the man said in a firm, steady voice, "Now before I send you all off to class just a word of advice for all of you, and I mean all, even the transfers. I run a school that vauls equality in all it's students. I don't care who you are, what your lineage is, where you are from, or your parent's occupation. You are all equal as long as you are under this roof," He paused and took a short breath, "Now you are to head to your 3rd period classes. Transfers, if you get lost just refer to your schedule, or ask a teacher, we are here to help."

 

Erin glanced over at Ruu, concerned, and wondered what got his younger friend so rattled up. When the principle dismissed them everyone got up, though Ruu ended up holding onto Erin's arm. Ruffling the boy's silvery locks, the brunette glanced between Ruu and Alex before saying, "So...3rd period, sweet, isn't that, like, our only shared class? Let's get going then!" With that Erin dragged them both into the crowd, glancing back for only a second, wanting to talk with Arish but couldn't find the courage. Plus, it looked like they might need to bring Ruu to the nurse, since he was showing signs of a panic attack.

[Teesie]

Alex smiles at both his friends before being pulled toward the entrance of the auditorium to leave. Orange eyes widened as he pulled back to stop the other two. "I'll be taking Ruu to the nurse." Wrapping his arms around the smaller haired teen's small, petit body. A slight ruffle to the brown locks, Alex pulled the fallen angel away from the brunette. "You have company Erin!" Alex yelled after himself, disappearing through the crowd.

 

---

 

Arish had found the one use had been looking for. That letter was the last thing that the dark-haired male had received from Erin. It pulled numerous reaction from him, many emotions overcame his body that awful day. It was just wasn't enough for the half angel. The teen wanted for the brunette to explain himself. "Erin~"

[Guest cheshireArtist]

Erin paled slightly when Alex left with Ruu. "Some friend you are Alex...leavin' me to the wolves...," The brunette muttered under his breath before literally jumping when his ex-boyfriend appeared seemily out of nowhere. Okay on a scale of one to creepy that was kinda creepy.

 

He turned to face Arish, meet coal eyes with his own cat-like green, and bit his lip nervously. The brunette had wanted to see the dark haired angel so bad, but now he had wet feet, big time. "Ar-Arish," he stuttered, averting his eyes to the ground...well, there was no running now.

 

-----

 

Ruune sat in the nurses office, he had insisted Alex go to class...truthfully the smaller twin wanted to be alone. Sighing the silver haired boy layed back on the cot, wincing slightly as paper crinkled below him. He had taken his pills so he felt eerily calm, but a bit tired. He didn't like taking pills, but he had to apparently if he wanted to get his anxity levels under control. If he didn't then the mute boy might have a mental break down, or something similar. He sighed and closed his eyes, the nurse said he was free to take a nap this period...Ruu thought she was a very nice lady for doing that.

[Teesie]

Arish stood silent to stare at the brunette for a while, the sound of bustling students echoing around them, as the teen rushed out to greet some of the new kids. The coal eyes were studying the male that was missing from his vision for nearly two years now. The older teen had no idea what to say, having the word of the letter repeating though his head like a mantra. "So...you're a demon." Staring to the other with a menacing look, although it faded quickly into a worried expression. "I've missed you for nearly two years and you didn't even contact me afterwards. For me not to contact you was understandable....I didn't know where you lived."

 

A frown was engraved on the pale face, the older teen fist clenching and unclenching. "What are we Erin?"

 

---

 

"Stupid Ruune." Alex whines as he kicked invisible rock walking down the hall. The nurse was willing to let him stay with the silver haired twin, but the latter seemed to have wanted to be alone for the moment. The orange haired male couldn't blame the other too much, he was known as a loud person so it would have been a mistake to let him stay. Thoughts wondered from Ruune to Erin and what was possible happening to the other at this moment.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

"I've missed you for nearly two years and you didn't even contact me afterwards. For me not to contact you was understandable....I didn't know where you lived."..."What are we Erin?"

 

Erin continued to chew on his lip, occasionally glancing at the other teen. It was weird...he had not acted like this in awhile, really. All nervous, and shy...here he was known to be rather boisterous, though not as much as Alex, so to anyone watching this was weird. The brunette sighed, and rubbed the back of his neck, "I...I didn't contact you because I was scared, okay...wouldn't you be a bit scared to in my position, Arish," The smaller male explained, keeping his gaze from the other's eyes, "...and I don't know...that depends on you." It did really depend on what Arish said they were, because Erin obviously still loved the half-angel...but the other could have moved on, and just be curious about what happened to him. And to be truthful, Erin often in his first months of living in the Neutral Zone sat with Coyote's house phone in his hand, debating on whether to dial in Arish's number or not...the green eyed boy knew he had been nothing but a coward.

 

Now he was going to be a coward again. "Listen, I gotta get to Astronomy...," He mumbled, shifting his feet, and glancing up into coal eyes.

[Teesie]

Arish was surely taken back by the others answers and before he could answer the other, Erin spoke of having to go to classes. The coal eyes narrowed and the older teen bit into his lip before walking pass the other, making sure to roughly bump against the other on his way leaving. Erin was being a little bitchy to Arish, even though in all honesty the other was just nervous.

 

---

 

Alex pursed his lips as his thoughts ran wild. The teen was surely a little jealous of his other friends, he could admit that. It made him feel like a complete jerk, because what friend was jealous of the other. Alex loved both Ruune and Erin the same, but he was envious of their life. It was true that the two was in a bad situation, but they had ones who loved them and cared for them. Ruune was such a cute, adorable mess that almost all the guys in school had a crush on him, it was all a blow to his pride.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

Erin stared after the other, a small, sad sigh passing his lips. Maybe they were truly ex-boyfriends now. That kind of made the smaller teen depressed. The brunette deliberately took the long way to his class to avoid the direction Arish had went off to, and the teacher started to bitch at him for being late. The half-demon rolled his eyes, quite noticeably may he add, mostly to piss off the lady. While he liked the class he felt like the teacher had it out for him, seriously.

 

He sat down next to his best friend, and laid his head down in his arms on the desk, they were just watching a movie about star creation anyways, so who gave a fuck if he didn't pay attention. He would just ask Alex for the notes later. Hiding his face from the world and closing his eyes the half-demon sighed...and here he thought Arish would actually take him back.

 

----

 

Ruune woke up, he could only asleep for a few minutes; just way too much was on his mind. Turning over so that his back faced the nurse that small boy fiddled with the sleeves on his sweater, rolling up the left sleeve slightly. Yesterday, when he felt Isaan through the link for the first time, he had a minor relapse...nothing worth telling Abel about...he didn't want to worry his adoptive father too much since being a healer was all ready a high stressed job...he really didn't want to add to that. He ran a finger over the scabbing wound...he wouldn't do it again...it would just be his little secret. He quickly pulled the sleeve back down, and glanced back over his shoulder, the nurse was focused on paper work, and that made the silver haired boy let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief.

[Teesie]

Once the brunette had entered class, Alex was more than relieved. One thing he hated worse than going to school was being in class alone without friends to talk to. After Erin sat in the desk beside him, the orange haired male smiled to the other student. The one the he loved so dearly as a friend, but was still so jealous.

 

"Soooo~." Talking in a dreamy way as he nudged the smaller teen prominently. "What happened? You two back together? All lovey-dovey once again? Arish and Erin sitting in the tree...K-I-S-S-I-N-G." The older teen teased childishly to the brunette with a dazed smile. Alex was more than happy for his friend but it still didn't help the envious feelings. He sooooo needed a boyfriend.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

"Shut up Alex...," Erin muttered, feeling suddenly a little pissed off at his friend. God, Alex could be so thick sometimes. Then suddenly he felt horribly sad, so sad that he couldn't stop the tears that began to roll down his cheeks and stain the sleeves of his sweat-shirt, though, with his face hidden in his arms one could only see his shoulders tremble slightly. "Sh-shut up," He repeated in a whisper, voice wavering slightly. God...why did this somehow hurt so much more than when he wrote the letter? Maybe it was because it was face to face.

 

----

 

Ruune had since gotten up, and asked, in writing, for a pass. The nurse, though still a bit concerned, complied and wrote out the boy a pass for his class. Ruu gave her a small smile, and moved his right hand, flat, over his mouth and moved it forward and down in the direction of the woman, 'Thank you'. He had to see the nurse a lot so she naturally picked up a few simpler signs, though, Alex was still the only one he could have a full on conversation with using the language, besides Abel of course. The nurse smiled and told him to be careful, and to come back if he's feeling too overwhelmed. The mute boy gave a small wave, and placed the pass in his pocket for safe keeping before walking out the door and into the the near empty hallway. A small shiver traveled up the boy's spine, something was making him feel rather uneasy, so he picked up the pace as he walked to class.

[Teesie]

Alex was startled when the other told him to shut up. Seems as if the wrong thing was said at the wrong time. Erin didn't look too well, and the orange haired teen really disliked upsetting the other. The brunette could be difficult in this stage, albeit when small droplets of tears fell from the other's eyes, Alex could help but be worried and wrap an arms around the small shoulders. The reaction that the older of the two had received was way different than the one he had wanted. Letting out a low whine, Alex shushed the other so he would stop crying.

 

"I'm really sorry. I apologize dearly. That last thing I wanted to do was hurt your feelings and bring up any bad memories." Lips pulled away from the soft skin though Alex saw nothing wrong with the sentiment. Being overwhelmed by the situation had made the older deliver a kiss to his best friend's forehead.

 

---

 

"Where ya' goin' Ruune?" The white haired teen asked, quickly dashing behind the other. Wrapping an arm around the petit frame, a wind picking up and ruffling the trees, making the soft spoken word almost inaudible. The nurses office was a small building on it's own that was on school grounds, but not connected. "What happen'd to ya'? Why were ya at the nurse?"

[Guest cheshireArtist]

Erin frowned lightly at the other, and wiped the tears from his eyes, "It's not your fault...you didn't know, so don't be so apologetic," The smaller sighed, sitting up a bit at his desk, "It was my fault after all...I was too nervous, probably said somethin' stupid, and now...I think we're officially Exs...not like I should of thought he's take me back anyways."

 

Sighing Erin forced and smile and lied through his teeth, "Don't worry, I'll be fine, Alex, just watch the movie."

 

-----

 

Ruu went completely ridged in his brother's hold, and he quickly began to hyperventilate. He didn't want Isaan to see him, he didn't want Isaan to talk to him, and he didn't want Isaan to even know of his existence. He also didn't want the other touching him, last time he touched him he hurt him! He hurt Ruu so bad, him and father, they hurt him so Ruune didn't like them, he didn't trust them, he didn't even want to be connected to them anymore than he had to, which was why his last name was Ezal now, and not Nimparon. Letting out a desperate sob he began to struggle wildly in the other's hold, the only emotions coming from his side of the link being fear, and complete and total distrust. Ruune was in full and total panic mode.

[Teesie]

The elder twin quickly let the other go after feeling the emotions running widly through the other. It was true that he would like to tease his younger brother, but having the other flat out die in his arms would be a scar he would have for life. It was obvious why the younger was acting this way, it was all about the Fallen incident. Could the little twerp get it through his brain that neither of them had power over what was to happen to him?

 

"What the hell is wrong with you? Seems as if your scared of me now." Smiling a bit menacing to the smaller teen. Using the other's fear against him would be easy and Isaan loved being in control.

 

------

 

Alex only smiled sadly to his best friend and turned to do as the other instructed, watch the boring, stupid, scientific movie. As said before, the orange haired male hated school and would give anything, even his soul just to never come here again. Ok, maybe that was exaggerating,but one would understand what he meant. Throughout the movie all the older male's thoughts were on was Erin and Ruune.

[Guest cheshireArtist]

The minute Isaan let go the smaller put a large amount of distance between them, shaking, and whimpering. For a split second pale green eyes met his twin's chocolate brown, and Ruune, ignoring what ever his brother had said and only noticing the menacing smile, bolted back to the main building. By the time the mute boy got far enough away for his liking the bell for the next class rang. Biting his lip the tiny teen ran to hide in a bathroom. He didn't want his friends to see him this upset.

 

Ruu opened a empty stall and got in, closing and locking the door behind him. The silver haired boy sat down on the toilet, and drew his knees to his chest, trying desperately to control his erratic breathing.

 

-----

 

When the bell rang Erin got up, gathering his backpack from the ground and turning his head to look at his best friend, "I'll see ya at lunch, okay." The brunette had the next class, his study period, by himself, and, if he remembered correctly, Ruu and Alex had gym. He kind of hoped that Arish might be in his study, but knew it was in a one and a million chance. The smaller teen waved his friend off before heading to his next class.

 

Once he reached the classroom he noticed he was one of the first ones there, and smiled very slightly. Taking a desk in the back and next to a window, the brunette yawned laid down his head on the desk. He needed a nap at this point, and this being study hall, basically, no one cared if he took a quick nap. Frankly the half-demon thought he need one and would have slept regardless of which class he was in.

[Teesie]

Isaan stood silently and stared after the frantic male. Ruune was defiantly scared of him, albeit it barely scarred the white haired male. One reason being because the elder couldn't care less what the other felt. Having ones wings took could be a dramatic life change and quite often, change a use-to-be angel forever. Many fallen chose to take the path of revenge and blame all their faults and hurt on the officials. Tsch* that mattered none to the higher ups.

Alex lifted his gaze to glance at the brunette once the other called out to say goodbye. The orange haired teen quickly stood and nodded before gathering his belongings to search for his next class. "Uh, yeah. See you at lunch." He spoke, giving a wary smile. The older teen's feelings were hurt in a way, but he wouldn't blame it on Erin. No, he was the one that was too emotional at times and needed to stop being so clingy. Ruune and the other could look out for themselves. He wasn't their father afterall.

Once he calmed back down the small teen timidly made his way out of the bathroom, and glanced around into the hall...it was a ghost town...good. Ruune traveled quickly down the halls and towards the gym. Once he reached the gymnasium, late of course, and handed the teacher his pass. The man gruffly told him to go change, and not being one to ignore instructions the silver haired fallen quickly ran to the changing rooms. Luckily mostly everyone else had changed all ready.

 

The boy, making sure he was out of view to anyone else in the room, quickly changed into his gym cloths. It was nearly the same as what ever some else would bring to wear, the only thing that made it odd was that he wore a long sleeved t-shirt. Alex once said it looked really weird with the shorts, but the younger just shrugged it of. He had his reasons.

 

The fallen walked out into the gym, glancing around at the students. Ruune cringed slightly...he could feel that his brother was either in this class or at least just walking by...great. Ruu quickly walked over to Alex, standing particularly close to the taller male, and even went as far as to grip the other's arm in nervousness.

 

He only looked up when the teacher, running through his attendance list, called out his name.

 

"Ruune Ezal?" The boy raised his hand in response, and the teacher checked him off.

Erin sighed...he just couldn't sleep! Normally he was out like a light when he napped in this class. Grumbling under his breath slightly the half-demon got up, and walked to the teacher's desk. "Yo, can I have a bathroom pass, please?" He asked, he wasn't very formal anymore, and this particular teacher really didn't give a shit of how the students addressed him. The man just handed him one and waved the boy off; Erin smirked slightly, the guy was so lenient, he was defiantly the brunette's favorite teacher.

 

So the teen just started to wonder the hall, not really caring who saw him skipping or not. The green eyed teen just needed a walk. With his hands stuffed in his sweatshirt pockets and head held low the brunette figured he must look mighty weird to anyone who was a Neutral Zone kid who saw him, Erin was known to always at lest have smirk on his face. Now the teen only really had a frown...he couldn't wait for this stupid year to be over with.

Alex was in the locker room, changing clothes when he spotted Ruune on the other side of the room. Usual the kid would go to a secluded place to change, but he was there in the opening. From the bustling of peopled, the orange haired male didn't really get a good look at the other; if he had, then he would have noticed the hairstyle, the color and the physique of the other. Ruune and Isaan favored, but there was much of a diffrence.

 

Once the elder teen, of the three friends, strolled toward Isaan he stopped. Finally he had noticed that that student was not Ruune. On closer inspection, he could clearly make out the difference the two had, even in the face. From the other staring, Isaan had gained an ego boost and sneered to Alex. The orange orbs widened, before the tapping of feet quickened as Alex fled the room.

 

Isaan watched after the other and laughed. What he wouldn't do to see that priceless look once again. On the outside of the locker room, Alex was standing in line when he felt one grip his arm. Jumping a little, the orange haired teen glanced to the source. Once he saw Ruune, the older teen sighed.

 

"Where the hell have you been?"

 

Ruune's twin exited into the gym and stood on the other side of the room to view his younger brother. At a certain name the white haired make frowned slightly. Ruune Ezal. So the other had changed his name, huh? Narrowing his eyes, Isaan approached the two teen, watching as Ruune gripped onto the other, and smiled. "Well, since you changed your last name...I guess we aren't brothers." Staring to the smaller male.

Arish was viewing his schedule to see that he had gotten gym as well, although the office had said they would be switching that subject. The dark haired male had already taken the subject in the angelic realm and didn't wish to re-take it. So after complaining, the principal gave him study hall. That was a relief, he wouldn't give that up, that was for sure.
