From boy to man.
The young man's silver eyes slowly widened when he comprehended what the other man said. "R-Really?" he stammered. "Y-You'd give that to me even though you barely know me?" He noticed the man eyeing his artwork as if he were deciding on something, but he had no idea what it was nor did he have the artistic talent to relate.

I hope you're not intending
To be so condescending
It's as much as I can take
And you're so independent
You just refuse to bend
So I keep bending 'till I break. xXxAfter scribbling a quick L.A. in a corner of the picture, Lurtz carefully removed the picture from his sketchpad and held it out to the other male. "Like a river flows to the sea, so it goes, some things are meant to be. As I said, this is but a hobby for me until I finish schooling... And now some of the overly focused on singing students in the classroom are starting up with the A-Teens just because of what I said... Sorry," he rumbled in response while giving a brief shrug. As a couple of the students in the room started singing random songs by the oddly named band. Noticing his foot had started to lightly tap to the natural beat every song came with, he quickly halted it's movement while tuning out the other students singing like a bunch of idiots. Several of them were off-key, but he wasn't going to say anything since it might end up violent if he did. Many people couldn't handle the truth.
These are my words
That I've never said before
I think I'm doing okay
And this is the smile
That I've never shown before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping.

Innocent to the world of music and all fine arts - or the music of today that barely hung onto the branch that was fine arts - Dragon only stared at the man blankly while clinging to the picture. "A... Teens?" he mumbled with a curious blink, his eyes changing to gold in that moment. He looked over to see a few people singing together happily, but also without any harmony. He himself cringed at very flat and sharp notes, though he wasn't one to talk. He never sang before, or played an instrument, or drawn....

I hope you're not intending
To be so condescending
It's as much as I can take
And you're so independent
You just refuse to bend
So I keep bending 'till I break. xXxKeeping his gaze to a brief glance from the corner of his eyes, Lurtz gave a brief nod. "Um. Yes. A-Teens was a Swedish Europop band made up of two females and two males. They came out around 1998 and associated their music to that of N'Sync, The Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, ABBA and Britney Spears. They then took a break in 2004 and were actually pretty popular back then. Unfortunately, some of these students can't correctly sing the words since it's been a while that they've actually been played on anyone's stereo. They even did their own album as a tribute to ABBA before them with songs like Mamma Mia. One of their biggest hits, however, was Dancing Queen," he explained while trying not to show his embarrassment at knowing music like the back of his hand when he was supposed to be focused on physical combatives. His comment also seemed to get a couple of the students glaring at him.
xxxWhen one of the students thought it'd be funny to tell the unusually off blue haired male to sing one of their songs better, he just gave a soft sigh before setting his things off to the side. Standing up and briefly shooing the students off to the side, he took up the blank space in the room and started tapping the toe of his foot briefly to start up a beat. Once the beat was set in his head, his hand moving to where his fingers gave a soft snap in order to keep himself on track. "I've been cheated by you since I don't know when. So I made up my mind, it must come to an end. Look at me now, will I ever learn? I don't know how but I suddenly lose control. There's a fire within my soul. Just one look and I can hear a bell ring. One more look and I forget everything. Ooh ooh. Mamma mia, here I go again. My my, how can I resist you? Mamma mia, does it show again? My my, just how much I've missed you. Yes, I've been brokenhearted, blue since the day we parted. Why, why did I ever let you go? Mamma mia, now I really know. My my, I could never let you go. I've been angry and sad about the things that you do. I can't count all the times that I've told you we're through. And when you go, when you slam the door, I think you know that you won't be away too long. You know that I'm not that strong. Just one look and I can hear a bell ring. One more look and I forget everything. Ooh ooh. Mamma mia, here I go again. My my, how can I resist you? Mamma mia, does it show again? My my, just how much I've missed you. Yes, I've been brokenhearted, blue since the day we parted. Why, why did I ever let you go? Mamma mia, now I really know. My my, I could never let you go.~"
xxxOnce finished with the song, his face a soft red from how a couple students were staring at him like he had a second head, he dropped back into his seat in the corner beside Dragon and started up on a new picture. Now it was just trying to blend back into the wall after having exposed his voice so openly to the other students wanting to pick fun at him for not wanting to expose himself. Instead of letting the other students still staring at him bother him, he just softly started humming Killing Me Softly while slightly tapping his foot to the beat. Not only had his voice come out clear and smooth, but it was as if he'd turned the female vocals into a male version. 'Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words, killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song, telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with his song,' he hummed in the back of his head so as not to draw any other unnecessary attention to himself. It wouldn't have happened in the first place if that other student had given him the order of singing aloud. His fingers had ceased movement when he'd noticed he'd been drawing a dog staring ahead with a collar and leash leading to a figure that seemed neither male nor female let alone a face. Oh how obedient his parents had made him...
These are my words

I think I'm doing okay
And this is the smile

Dragon stared at him during his explanation, his eyes changing from dirt brown to fire red then finally metallic silver. That man knew so much! But just before he could ask any questions, one of the students challenged the man to sing. Dragon looked at the students then to the man to see him already heading towards the stage-like area of the classroom.
Just as the other students, Dragon felt his jaw drop. The guy had a great voice, and it hit ever pitch perfectly! His jaw was still hovering around the ground by the time the blue-haired guy sat back down. "Y-You sing really good." he finally managed to talk, eyes turning grass green.

So I keep bending 'till I break. xXxLurtz gave a soft inward sigh while still staring at the image of the dog wearing the collar and chewing on his bottom lip. "May we talk about something else? I only did that because they told me to," he responded lowly while still trying to return to being invisible to everyone except Dragon. It was apparent that he was uncomfortable at being put in the spotlight rather than hiding in the shadows. Maybe he should've just mouthed the words rather than actually sing it. If he'd known people were going to overexaggerate his ability to sing he would've just done that instead so as to make people think he sang very, very softly. That definitely seemed like a better idea now that he knew what their reactions were to him singing.

"Wh-Why would you want to change the subject?" Dragon asked with a straightened posture. "Your voice is amazing!" Suddenly realizing how much adoration he just gave, a blush crept upon Dragon's face and made him sink into his own seat. "O-Oh, uh, s-sorry." he stuttered, feeling like an embarrassed fangirl. He looked around awkwardly, eyes changing purple, when he noticed another piece of artwork on the man's desk. "Oh, d-did you draw that?" he asked. A stupid question, but it was all he could think of on the spot.

So I keep bending 'till I break. xXx"Because my father already has my occupation decided and art, whether it be through music, words scribbled onto a page or pictures set upon a wall, is not a part of it. They are simply hobbies for someone who has nothing else better to do," Lurtz responded as if quoting someone saying it before him. After having his parents scold him as a preteen for throwing out the idea of being an artist, their words had stuck to him like glue. Now he was stuck simply knowing that his occupation, until death should claim him, would be protecting the vampire nations' royal families. Glancing up at the picture, he could see that small black mark in the corner reading L.A. although it would take someone who'd seen the image beforehand to actually point it out to them. "It's alright. I believe so... My father sometimes hands out or sells my artwork under a false name after I fill up these sketchpads with pictures so it wouldn't be a surprise really... I almost forgot. I'm Lurtz Allÿwar, but my cousins and sisters call me Vallyne. It's your option of which name you call me by.”

The now crimson-eyed boy leaned back in his chair with a light blink. There was something in that man, Lurtz's tone. It was almost as if he had heard what he had just said thousands of times. That, and he had absolutely no enthusiasm in it. But that was probably because it had to do with his father. Lord knows how Dragon felt towards fathers. He hated his without a doubt, and he was awfully distrusting towards others' dads.
"My name's Dragon." he mumbled. "Dragon...." Oh. What was his last name? His mom never told him, but that was probably because she tossed hers around with every guy she married, and there was no way in hell he would use his real dad's last name, whatever it was. "Just Dragon."

They're very unique," Lurtz smiled briefly. Once noticing he'd basically said that he'd made eye contact with the other male, he hit his forehead against his knee. "Sorry... It won't happen again. I swear it won't happen again..." He seemed to slide from dead calm to that of an obedient servant-like figure preparing for not only a lecture but a physical injury along with it.”

Lord Dragon? He had never been addressed like that, and hearing his name like that sounded.... silly. He couldn't hold back a small giggle and looked down with a bashful blush. "S-Sorry." he stammered. "I-It just sounded weird, the way you said my name." He humble humility suddenly hardened when Lurtz commented on his eyes, which at the time had just began changing to gold. He narrowed his brightening eyes slowly. "It's, umm... I-It's a curse." he said softly and looked up, blinking when he saw the semi-bow from the other man. "W-What? What are you doing?" he asked.

((OutOfCarrots: )): I hope I'm not interrupting anything, is it alright if I join you two? ++++Aumi held what books she had tightly to her chest, the anxiety of boys looking at her breasts was constantly hopping through her mind. Her body wasn't eye candy but a vessel for life, or so her mother once told her as a fourteen year old, it makes her smile everytime she thinks of that day. Honestly, being such a shy girl and all she wasn't sure why she had signed up for a vocal class, it was required you sing infront of people and singing was one thing she was not comfortable doing without being in the shower. After exhaling deeply a few times she walked into the classroom with her eye's drawing a path for her feet to follow. When Aumi looked up from teh floor she saw that she had walked herself to the farthest seat from the two men upfront and the group of singing students. In all honesty she had that band Abba on her computer in her dorm. Her personal favorite from that band was "Waterloo" because of the cheery beat from it, it reminded her of her father and how happy he always seemed to be when he and his mother got home. Aumi sat down in her chair, patiently waiting for anything to happen. A song to start that she knew so she might sing along with, or atleast try to sing along with but didn't really expect anything to happen. A small flare of joy flashed in her eye's when she saw the man who could be the teacher talking to the boy who had just sang the song, he seemed to be star struck at how well the boy had sung. She didn't blame him.  +

So I keep bending 'till I break. xXxLurtz took the breath to respond, but only continued staring at the floor while wishing he could just turn invisible like he did at home. "The changing of colors makes me wish I had your eyes instead of the dull, pale blue. Blue is a very common color after all," Lurtz mumbled while starting to fidget with his sketchpad. Was dying an option yet? Apparently not... His face grew that soft shade of red again, but his hair covered up most of it. Letting his voice come out in that tone that seemed to be quoting someone before him, he explained why he had acted so oddly. "Eye contact with someone of a higher status is not accepted. Raising one's eyes to make eye contact is a sign of aggression and the obvious signs of rebellion. Everyone, whether they be a streetrat or a king, is of a higher status. My job is to be obedient and protect the royal familes throughout the four vampire kingdoms. My only signs of failure accepted is by that of death. Any failure to protect the royal family not involving my death is punishable by death." While he'd heard the female enter, he didn't dare raise his icy blue eyes.

"I'm not royal, or a vampire." Dragon murmured with furrowed eyebrows, choosing to ignore the comment over his eyes. It was another thing that labeled him a freak and a monster, and though most people thought it was cool, he didn't share their interest. "A-And isn't eye contact supposed to be good?" If it was the other way around then he was excellent at talking to people.
Hearing someone enter, Dragon turned his head and did a double-take. It was a girl... with bunny ears! But it wasn't the animal features that made him tense up, it was the fact that she was incredibly pretty. Oh no... Whenever around a pretty person, Dragon found himself as a stuttering mess. Lurtz wasn't an exception, the boy couldn't speak right for a few minutes when they first met at the beginning of class!
And so Dragon quickly turned his head back to Lurtz, biting his bottom lip.

((OutOfCarrots: )): I hope I'm not interrupting anything, is it alright if I join you two? ++++Aumi was gazing around the classroom admiring the colors that had been painted on the walls and ceiling expressing the different types of music sang here. Blue's, blue grass, country, 90's rock, metal, hip-hop, rap and her personal favorite 70's to 80's rock. Aumi could still here the stum of her fathers old guitar when he played it infront of the fireplace, she would softly sing old songs that she liked when she was just a little girl but here memory was interrupted by the feeling of being watched by someone. When she looked down and locked eye's with the teacher he face lit up bright red. The man was looking right at her and his eye's were tantilizing with their different shades of color, she sorta couldn't help herself but stare right back at him. Aumi got abit upset when he looked away from her, she felt like she was deprived of those gorgeous eye's of his. She wanted to get up and stand infront of him so he could see his eye's again but he was with a student. Aumi looked down from the two boys up front and began to drum on her desk, it was a steady beat with a few increments in it that either sped up or slown down. It was a fairly simple beat, a pen and pencil served as her drumsticks +
