Welcome to Gaia! ::

((xD Oh well...))
"Wah...? Huh? I'm fine..." he panted as he slumped over the back of the couch, dropping the folder on the floor, the contents not quite flying out, but still visible. "Uuuuuugh..." He closed his eyes, quietly exasperated with the stupid pictures. He should just burn them or something... "It was so cold... had to run it off..." he said automatically, though it was only half true. "Anyway... Jordyn decided to leave..." He slid down the back of the couch so that his lower stomach and thighs were lying on the couch, while the rest of his legs hung in the air and his chest was against the cusion of the couch ((dunno how to describe it... the heigt part of the couch in the front where, if you're sitting, you're legs go over)) and his arms gathered up the photos and put them back into the folder again.

((Oh, guess what? Reagan followed my advice and talked to Jessica on Saturday... He thanked me today after school and said that if he hadn't talked to me he probably would have broken up with her... And he said that Ben deffinately likes her... But, then again, anyone who gets even remotely close to her can't help liking her, she's that nice. /^ ^ So I have some emotional termoil....))
Akio blushed. "S'okay... I'm sorta used to it.... There are people who are harder to put up with..." He glanced down at the notebook on the floor and sighed. "I'm always cold... Poor circulation. My skin always feel cold, even in summer when I'm not cold.... ((Just like me! >< But I loooove the cold. =3))" Akio slid all the way down to the floor, stomach tired of supporting him. He curled his legs over backward and placed them on the floor (so basically his chin and chest are on the ground, with his toes on the floor in front of his face... Like an O) and stood up. His back cracked and he groaned. "Erggg... I haven't done that in a while." ((Oh and I've decided that he doesn't have any shoes or socks on right now ninja )) He flopped down onto the floor and sat cross-legged. He took the folder in hand, took the photos out and handed them to Isaac. His face was bright red. "You'll probably see them sooner or later, anyway.... The Christmas pictures are from the last photo shoot I did... and the... other ones... are from Mum..." He look determinedly away, face still crimson. They were only pictures of him and Lazzure... he had been five and Lazzure six... he had been completely blond then and Akio had warn the black barret, but that was before Akio moved and Lazzure became a complete recluse, hiding behind his hair and so much else.... Akio mentally shook himself and brought his mind back to the present. "Ugh... the kid pictures are me and Lazzure.... When I was five and he was six.... And then I think there are some with Onee-san and Onii-chan..."

"Lazzure's not a 'dead friend'... we just haven't seen each other for a while and his mum's probably remolded him... he was always different after comming back from seeing her... He doesn't have a dad, either... He was just sotra jostled between relatives because his Mum didn't have time for him. So Mum took him in for a short period of time... only descent thing she ever did..." He sighed and massaged his temples, eyes closed. "I probably shouldn't talk about this... he'd probably have a seizure or something if he found out." He laughed to lighten his words, but his eyes were sad. So much had changed and none of it was good... He looked down at the photos and selected a photo from near the bottom. "Knew she'd send this one... It's me and Lazzure... and both our mums and Onii-chan and Onee-sama... This one's Lazzure's mum-" he pointed to a tall, imperious-looking woman, straight-backed and proud with blond hair and one eye blue, the other green "- she looks just like Lazzure... that's probably why he died his hair... And that's Onii-chan-" he smiled as his finger fell upon a boy who couldn't have been older than ten, but it was obvious he would grow to be tall and strong. He was obviously the brother of the slightly shorter girl beside him because they both had the same long black hair, although Kyo's eyes were the deepest and darkest green and Yumi's were very light, minty-green. He pointed to her next and said, "My Onee-san. You've probably heard of both my Onee-san and Onii-chan... well, most people have..." He then pointed to the last figure. "Mum..." She was obviously the mother of Akio's siblings, with silky black hair all the way to her waist, her eyes flashing between brown and green. Her gase was of secretly made, very well-controlled fire that would, when bidden, at once rise up into a bon fire so huge it couldn't be extinguished. The only feature she shared with Akio was her height. She didn't look a day older than sixteen, although she must have been in her late twenties at least. Both Akio's siblings looked old and elegant for their age, and though his mother had a contained elegance as well, she did rather more remind the looker of Akio, rather than his brother or sister.
((Ooo... I really want to reveal Lazzure's story sooo badly! >< It's like the oppisite of what I had originally intended Akio to be (but he's not... because I didn't feel like it)...))

(wow, Mie.... lol, sank yuu, that took a lot of typing, lol...)
Isaac glances up to Akio many times while his friend was talk, watching carefully the lights and shadows in his eyes. He could see it all in just his eyes, in the little expressions of his face, a twitch of the lips, a slight movement of the brow, the tiny youthful crease in the forehead. Akio was letting memories wash over him and Isaac was damned if he would interupt this. He just watches Akio, glancing down when Akio pointed out another face with his careful fingers. So small, so delicate... But in a way, Isaac had never met anyone as strong as Akio. He looks down at Akio's mother, at her face. Elegant, beautiful... Maybe she didn't know what was best for Akio... but she probably tried... She couldn't have hated Akio. He glances up to Akio, watching the flash of gentle happiness behind the good memories, then the deepening well his eyes made when a bad memory came along. He glances down at Lazzure, his mind sayinggently in his thoughts, Lazzure... I can only imagine how well you know Akio... In a way I envy you... He sighs gently, but in silence, looking to Akio. he says softly, "They have so much... so much character... your brother and sister I mean... so full of life... the same with you... memories can't take that away, only add"
