"MOO"

--&★<-- ╔══════☆══════╗--&★<--

"Moooooo...." Another sound erupted from Hatsuri as the large bull turned his massive body over, He was tired of the sun's rays on his stomach... It only made him feel hungrier. It was hours since he last ate anything; The last meal he had was before his family hopped on his back and left their home for Starbright, and who knew how long ago that was? "..Mooo..." He groaned again. 'Where's Maria? It's time for us to go already...' He was getting rather impatient with his wife; Maria told him that all she wanted to do was to see Anitta, meet this Vayne guy, and to quickly explore around. All Kyoichi was supposed to do was to say goodbye to his father, then leave his family for another few months. A loud, ferocius snort escaped the bull demon's snout as he flipped over once more with a loud thud. He getting hungry... And as easy as it sounded for him to just open his mouth and start munching on the grass, he couldn't. Maria warned him not to. One, because she told him that it was Starbright's property and it'd be on their heads if the Principal suddenly looked outside his window and saw a huge lawn of grass missing. Two, if he sunk his teeth into even a blade of grass, she wouldn't give him tummy rubs anymore, and goddamnit, he enjoyed his tummy rubs! At least-- That's what Maria called them... "Tummy rubs." Another snort escaped his snout. What an unmanly name for a good pat on the stomach. Well, whatever the name should be, they still felt good, and Hatsuri refused to let his desire for eating the school's lawn put an end to his "tummy rubs". Another snort...

❤"Hello dear, do you need help?"❤

The worst possible sound for a mother to hear was the sound of a baby's crying. Maria jumped at the feeling of air flying onto her shoulder, then the outbreak of a baby's crying. 'Oh no, oh no, oh no! What IS that?!' She thought while frantically looking left and right, wondering where the sound was coming from. "H-Hello?!" She screamed as her heart raced. "I-Is anybody there? Hello?" She wasn't really scared... Just- Worried. Whoever was with that baby probably wasn't doing the best job with her... Him... It. "Does anyone need help with their child?!?! Hellooo~? Hello?" Hopefully she wasn't imagining the sound of crying babies... That would just be insane! But- She wouldn't have been surprised about it either. With Fernando's crying a few days ago, she randomly reminisced of the time when he was a baby and she had to deal with his occasional crying.

"what makes you think I did it?"

"my parents aren't here at the moment,please leave a message after the beep....eh,beeeep!" Ichirou said as his nose began to bleed,signaling he was invisible for too long. He became visible again,rubbing the blood from his nose and wiping the drool and tears from Melody,after her crying. The baby looked at Maria with her different colored eyes and a confused face "keh?" she blurted tilting her head. "hi Misses Hatsuri....oh and no,my baby is quite alright...." he said hoping that event would change the subject of the fight Kyo and Roxis were supposed to have. Melody used the humidity in the air to make a stream of water, which she used to lower herself to the floor to crawl. "that's my show-offy baby, Melody...she was born not too long ago..." he said picking his baby up from the floor "Melody stop, you mom doesn't even want you out the dorm yet until you learn how to walk!".

Ichirou scratched his head "is this a Parent Teacher Conference?" he said with a twitch of the eye "if it is, then my mom won't be here, she's being dealt with...and my dad is being lazy again...". He remembered that day when his father called,saying that his wife had to be put in jail. That shocked Ichirou, he didn't know that her temper would lead to that! It did give her a break from some beating the crap outta people and showing off. "anyway..Melody only has one known power so far, and it seems kinda scary..." he said watching Melody stretch her arms out to tug Misses Hatsuri's hair while making a whiney sound.

"I didn't do s**t! Kyo on the other hand...."

D: I started on it days ago, but got distracted/called to do work... and then I never finished... and... now my characters are days behind again with a very poor attempt to get them caught up and Roxis is going to strangle me for making him miss Coldworth's class and... aaaaagashaskahs this is my horrible attempt to explain away everything and get them caught up and argh.]

VAIN (VAYNE) AURELIUS

"But I am Vayne. I'm just the worst part of him..."

||▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬||

Vayne would have cowered under his gaze. Fumbling with his arms to hide himself from Noroko’s eyes (as little good as that would’ve done, silly boy~), the Mana-child would have stared, pink-cheeked and wide-eyed, their lips parted with a silent, frightened question: "What are you doing…?"

Perhaps it really is a good thing that Vain is the one in control. He’s far too confident--more like detached, his emotions and senses being as dulled as they are--to feel such sheepish compulsions. He welcomes those looks by leaving himself completely open to wandering blue eyes, eyes somewhat like their own… Vain even has the gall to smile prettily at their would-be hunter when he swerves an inch too close. Miniscule, invasive seconds-- then Noroko traipses on his merry way to his own ornate drawer. It’s a wonder they’ve never seemed to notice it, though Vain wouldn’t put it past Roxis to have inspected the thing somehow…

Noroko procures a bottle from the chest’s messy depths, and at his offer, Vain cracks a wry smile. His Other’s startled whimper sounds off in his head like an alarm bell--"That’s alcohol, you know how bad we are at handling that stuff…"--and Vain is almost tempted to ignore his whining. Almost.

"Thanks… but no thanks. I’ll keep my thoughts and fantasies to myself."

He smiles again. The expression is fragile on his delicate face (such a short charade, and already willing to give up?), but there is a faint spark of amusement in his eyes. Still, it’s not quite enough to honestly seem like interest, and it’s not enough for him to laugh as he was usually so prompt to do--this perturbs his Other. "I’m so used to you laughing at everything…"

'You’ve made our throat so sore that it hurts to talk, let alone laugh.'

Ah, that isn’t all--his Other knows this as well, and this is why he does not squirm--but it really isn’t as bad as it feels, is it? There are good points Vayne had constantly tried to remind himself of… Roxis had proved himself stalwart to stand the entire night of Vayne's crying with nothing but soft attempts at comfort, and Vayne would’ve thought the effort heartwarming had he felt enough to muster it… and, more painfully, maybe only 'somewhat good', Kyoichi thought of him as an "amazing weird"--as backhanded as the compliment had sounded. Even if Kyoichi hadn’t allowed himself to fall… he had "come close".

“But if he didn’t… why did he almost kiss me…”

Vain lets out a soft breath, almost a laugh. Almost. He turns away from Noroko, whipping off his only protection and tossing it lazily onto his bed, then proceeding to embark on a search of his own for clothes. ‘That’s a very good question that you should have asked him. Maybe we should do that…’

“I don’t want to see him.” His Other’s voice is suddenly flat, cold.

Vain laughs.

‘Liar.’

He finds a long white shirt he can’t remember ever wearing, but he pulls it over his head regardless. It’s too long--it falls past his thighs, and the silken cascade of fabric is too cold against his still heated skin. Well-made, yet still an excess of things... Roxis probably made this before they left Al-Revis.

“By the way…” Vain stumbles back to his bed; the drunken movements are suddenly and abruptly contrasted by his dive into the sheets, or his… flutter into them. He’s soon curled up around a blanket quickly bunched between his legs, and a hand automatically is drawn to stroke at a still-napping Sulpher’s head. Finally, the broken smile has left his face. “I’m Vayne. Just in case you decide to come back.”

With that, silver lashes pull their drapes shut.

______________________________________________

[Assuming Noroko would get bored after awhile and leave Vain before he wakes up, here’s a time skip~]

He thought he was too tired to dream. Yet, it seemed the more tired he was... the more vivid and nonsensical were his dreams. Kyoichi was there—of course, he's been the star of Vayne's dreams for weeks now—waving extravagantly at an audience from atop a lavishly decorated stage. He blew kisses, bowed with mock grace, and all-in-all responded to their adoration until Roxis strode on stage and smacked his posture upright with a quick slap to his back. “Stop making love to your fans and get on with the show already.” Roxis growled. Roxis was dressed like a rich gentleman, radiantly white and gold from the crown of his hair to his feet, while Kyoichi looked like he was supposed to be a prince... yet had too much fun with editing the outfit to his more outlandish tastes. Kyoichi let out an irritated huff, the exhale blowing out some of his overgrown bangs from his eyes, and gave one last bow before turning to merge more with the stage than the front lines of the audience.

And then they were performing the most bizarre play Vayne could think of; damsels in distress captured by giant frogs, battles peppered by musical numbers, courtesy of Roxis' fantastic voice, duels with tree branches and speared potatoes...

And after the victory of our heroes over the Flayvor of Evil, Vayne was shoved onto the stage himself, straight into Kyoichi's waiting arms. Kyoichi soon buries his face in Vayne's hair, and murmured a teasing, “You're so late. You got stage fright back there, Aurelius?”

“H-huh...?”

Kyoichi grinned. He squeezed Vayne closer to his body (a little overheated from all that action) and went on, “You were supposed to come out right after Flay finished his 'hoorah-the-evil-king-is-dead' song. You're my pretty lady, remember?” Vayne shoved lightly at his chest despite the blooming blush on his face. He was not a—but Kyoichi was grinning so happily at him he couldn't manage much but a flustered frown, something that was apparently amusing from the way Kyoichi started to laugh. And then he pulled his head away from Vayne's, loudly declaiming for all to hear: “The evil king is dead, the little prince is saved, and now we may have our ball!”

“And you plan to take the prince as your partner?” Roxis sneered incredulously from further down the stage. “What about that other princess you saved?”

“One dance with him won't hurt her~” Kyoichi laughed in reply, and then he was tugging Vayne along into familiar dance steps—he remembered them, but he was so flustered he had trouble falling into sync with Kyoichi, even as the taller boy tried to put a comforting hand on his waist.

“See! You can't even dance with him, you beast, you're making him uncomfortable.” Roxis called out, pushing up his glasses rather irritably up his nose while Kyoichi snorted an equally irritable sound from his nostrils. “Shut up, Rosenkrantz, he's just nervous because you're here! He was great when we were alone...” Roxis made a strange, indignant sort of squawk. Vayne puzzled over the sound for a moment before Kyoichi pushed his head into his silver hair again, his voice so unfathomably soft...

“You can do this for me... Vayne...”

“Vain?”

It's not quite as difficult to open his eyes this time. They are greeted by Roxis' face hovering above him, not too close, but close enough to suggest that he's sitting beside Vain on the bed, and because his golden hair isn't outright glowing with rays of captured sunlight, it's safe to say Vain hasn't slept through another morning... Still-- “You took awhile.”

“The breakfast line was long, and then there was a sudden announcement for class. Coldworth.” Roxis mutters. The crease on his brow suggests that the professor had engaged in another odd lesson... Vain is almost curious about it, but Roxis goes on before he can consider bothering to ask. “We also have a new roommate.”

“I met Noroko, earlier. He finally decided to drop in.” Vain yawns. Roxis glances over at him, a bit of alarm widening his eyes, but at the nonchalant shrug Vain gives, he relaxes. “... well then, I take it he wasn't nearly as depraved as this other man is. I'm glad the both of them left you alone.”

“Mmn.” Vain yawns again. He moves his eyes to wander about Roxis, at first just to see if he brought anything back—yes, food—and then, when he notices the odd clasp of his hands, his scrutiny shifts to discern what is wrong. The knuckles of Roxis' right hand are badly bruised, almost swollen... his fingers are clenched tightly as if to compensate. Vain raises a brow, just barely visible under his fluffy bangs. “... What did you do to your hand?”

Roxis stiffens again. He tries to withdraw it from Vain's sight, but the Mana shoots him a skeptical look that makes him keep it twitching on his lap. “The class involved some... violence. I had to help break up a fight.”

“... Oh.” Vain reaches out to take the injured hand in both of his own. It twitches again, but Vain refuses to release it as he looks over the damage. Just some swelling and bruising... he wonders what sort of student—or thing—Roxis had to hit to make his point. Whatever it was, Roxis had used plenty of force... impressive, he supposes, but the proof of it is disturbing to look at. 'Hm.' He summons what little Mana energy he had managed to regain as he makes his wish to be rid of the injury; once Roxis catches sight of its blue light, he tries to snatch his hand away with a hiss of, “Vain, don't you dare--”

“Too late~”

He squeezes Roxis' wrist to keep it still as his Mana energy winds around the blond's hand and eases away his bruises, aches, and pains. It's a simple enough task for Vain not to spend very much effort on it, and so, as the light fades away along with those awful angry splotches, he only feels marginally more tired than before. He yawns and releases Roxis in favor of stretching his arms. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees a scowl on Roxis' face as he flexes his fingers.

“... Thank you.”

Vain smiles cheekily at him. “You're welcome.”

___________________________________________

For the rest of the week, that was as cheerful as Vain could seem to manage. First three days consisted of nothing but staying in bed and thinking... Roxis brought him and Sulpher food, water, and company, but Vain honestly couldn't manage much for Roxis' efforts aside from dismal attempts at conversation. Roxis didn't seem to expect this, and was surprised... for awhile. His Other was horribly quiet.

Fourth day, Roxis came back with news that Jess had landed herself in the infirmary. “Explosion?” “Explosion.” And that was all—he didn't worry, but his Other finally spoke again with a plea to visit her, and so he did. After those visits, Vain tended to wander about aimlessly in the school, sometimes with Roxis, sometimes by himself. He's become quite good at discerning where everything was, now. Maybe he didn't need the map anymore. And maybe romantic 'love' really was powerful enough to make him deaf to people's wishes, for he heard and felt nothing as he wandered those halls, nothing but an dull sort of ache in his chest.

He thinks about Kyoichi, of course. But he's surprised that he didn't have to avoid him half as much as he thought.

Sixth day, Roxis returned bearing presents: odd, rectangular-shaped things with glowing screens and many buttons. “Cellphones.” Roxis clarified. “I won't risk trying to learn telepathy here. These might be more useful in keeping contact with you.”

“Where did you get these?”

“Student store. Flay...” He gritted his teeth, “... made some of his own adjustments.”

The rest of the day was spent learning what Roxis knew about how the things worked, and then, when Roxis left to do some research, Vain was idly trying to figure out with his Other what else they could do with them. He ended up discovering the camera and microphone options entirely by accident, and then, out of necessity—or boredom—he memorized what was supposedly Roxis' “phone number”.

Seventh day, after another stage-dream, he demanded Roxis sing for them to record; it took hours and hours to finally convince him, but by the evening, a forty-seven second recording of Roxis singing about “pavement shining like silver” was saved on Vayne's phone. “T-that's all you're getting, I don't remember the rest of the words.” Lies, lies, lies. Roxis' memory was impeccable.

A new week finally dawns with the two walking to the cafeteria for their now routine breakfast. Roxis has been sleeping better and looks somewhat fairer lately; Vain still looks disheveled and tired...

And longing.

An unearthly roar shatters the routine. “A roar... or a moo...?” Instantly on guard, Roxis' eyes quickly scan around for its source—yelling follows the sound from outside. He pulls Vain over to a window to get a better look... and then, they both pale at the sight before them.

“G... giant... bull...”

A massive crimson bull is sitting right in the school's courtyard, so huge that its bulk couldn't be framed by the window. He looks monstrous, and yet he's mounted by two figures who easily jump off of him as though there was no problem, as if he had been a ride... one of them is a woman, the other is a taller man--Vain could feel his heart skip a beat as he recognizes just who that man is.

“Kyoichi... That's—t-that's his father...”

He could only stare blankly at the boy; he's been... gone all this time? His eyes eagerly try to make out every part of him from this distance, craving... but he's startled out of staring at Kyoichi's face by a loud thud at his feet. Vain quickly tugs his eyes away, his heart finally remembering to beat as it pounds even faster than before... but all he sees is Roxis collapsed on the floor, pale as death. It takes him a few moments to register this; Roxis... fainted? Why? Hadn't they fought larger monsters in Al-Revis?

“It doesn't matter!” His Other cries out, suddenly panicked, “Take him to the infirmary—or back to our room—hurry, and make sure Kyoichi doesn't see us!!”

Numbly, he nods and hoists Roxis arms over his shoulder, trying to drag him along as if helping him to walk... but he quickly grows irritated with the cumbersome method and soon takes to the air, floating across the hallways with Roxis in tow.

He's not used to this, this fluttery sort of panic... why does he feel so desperate to run away...?

[AGSJSHJA THIS THING IS FINALLY DONE. Also, Tyrant, you're right... Sachiel and Flay should meet, perhaps when I finally make Flay hold combat class again. I-it's so hard for me to write for him, but he IS a teacher here... and it's not your fault it's so quiet either, I think the RP is just... dying out from people being busy, leaving, etc... and Vayne and Anitta should probably talk--and...

* ... Roxis did go to class but he was quiet, shhh.
* Roxis and Vayne have cellphones now lolol
* Jess is still in the infirmary and reserved for Pamela's post
* Roxis is finally sleeping better
* But he just passed out from shock of seeing Hatsuri
* Annnd insert a lazy time-skip for Vain bringing Roxis back to his room. He's now trying to sneak to the cafeteria to get food for him without being seen by Kyoichi.
* Yes, Vain is still the active personality, although Vayne's so... excited that he might easily switch back depending on who he speaks to (if I can actually manage to post again tonight, which I doubt :'D).

Annnd... Vayne's pretty short for a guy, he's 5'6!]

'I hate you! Why don't you just marry him!? Huh?! Oh yeah! I forgot, your an a*****e! Commitment isn't your thing now is it?!' After that, the line went dead, leaving Kyoichi with a shocked, yet confused expression on his face. "A... Nitta?" He whispered before removing the phone away from his ear and staring down at it, the same expression lingering on his face. 'What the hell-- Just happened?' Did Anitta just say that she hated him because of.... Vayne? No- No that couldn't be it... What the hell did she know about him and Vayne? Hopefully not to much. Nervousness tightened his stomach as he shot up from his bed and made his way towards the door. Maybe.... Maybe if he looked for Anitta, he could settle things straight with her... And maybe even apologize for destroying her small refridgerator. "Ugh, Anitta--" Kyoichi muttered once he exited his room and quickly made his way down the hall. He missed her so much... He had barely spent time with her because of the trip she took and he trip he did! As if the feeling of being a horrible boyfriend was bad enough, the fact that he constantly neglected her and trashed her fridge made things more difficult. The only person who could make it 10 times worse was- Suddenly, his feet stopped dead in it's tracks. Once his eyes caught a glimpse of the silver-haired boy-- Floating his way down the hall with Roxis' arm limply over his shoulder, his heart sank into his stomach as a light blush formed in his cheeks. "V-Vayne...?" He asked, his breath lower than he actually wanted it to be. If he wasn't so completely distracted by Vayne, he would've ignored him and continued his journey for Anitta's room, but- "...Vayne, is that really you?" He asked, then paused a moment. No; That wasn't Vayne... At least that's what Rosenkrantz last told him. Vayne wasn't himself... Vayne was his Other, Vain. But, maybe he decided to turn back to normal! "Oh Vayne...." He started, opening his arms towars the boy, but froze after remembering Roxis was there with him. Wait a minute-- Why was Roxis all...? "Oh GOD, what happened to him?!?!" Kyoichi yelled as he ran towards the two and gave Roxis a bit of a shocked look. 'About goddamn time!!!!!' For once, he felt-- Happy that Roxis looked so vulnerable, so weak... At least the b*****d couldn't punch him for the time being. And besides... He highly doubted Roxis would even think to lay a finger on him while Vayne/Vain was there.... Would he? 'Anitta will have to wait...'
