((wat digimon game did you download?))
"Um sure I guess." Cepheus began to follow Reiya. He started to think to himself. Had he made his wealth status too obvious by how he was trying to steal apples? And if he didn't, what would Reiya think when he found out he was poor and without parents? Better yet, what would his parents think? Cepheus decided to ignore that thought, though he knew it would be found out soon. He wasn't the richest looking kid on the block.

[[ Spirit and Spirit 2 ]]
Across the unusually quiet square, through the marketplace and back to the familiar road that led them to Reiya’s house he led them. He looked sideways at Cepheus, not too sure what to say, but he took a breath anyhow and then paused before letting it out and shaking his head slightly. His mind was a blank. The black haired wonder beside him, walking along as if they were headed to an amusement park. There hadn’t been any gladiators around, and no small performing acts since last month so Reiya was on the verge of hoping that his house was not the center of attraction. On the other hand, he wanted the boy to come to see it. Hopefully stay a while too.
When the orange curtains came into view, Reiya looked around then reached for Cepheus’ hand to make him stop. He looked at the boy, his hazel eyes serious but wide with a sense of triumph. “Hopefully they don’t know that I’m gone. It’s only been an hour. Or just about one. But walking through the front door will make them see red, so be warned.”
He let go of the boy’s hand, almost reluctantly, then started towards the front door with a held breath. He pushed open the door before stepping into the hall and staring into the face of his nurse. Her green eyes gleamed angrily. Reiya raised an eyebrow passively.
“Oh, hello.”
“Don’t you ‘hello’ me! Your mother’s been frantic looking for you! And who’s this?”

((oooooh, i both too! i never considered downloading them though. Hmph, i should tell my friends to download them so i have ppl to battle!))
A small blush appeared on the boy's face as the other took hold of his hand. He felt a bit upset that his hand was released. That feeling quickly fell as he looked into the eyes of the woman. He already was uncomfortable talking to new people, but an angry one at that? Cepheus was at a loss of words, so he just kept quiet, not noticing as he himself kept close to Reiya. His eyes glimmered in the light as he continued to stare at the woman. Maybe it wasn't the best time for him to be there. Should I leave? I don't want my existence in this house to cause fights...

"Cepheus. Ceph, this is Kadelia," He stated plainly, then brushed past the lady as he guestured for the boy to follow him. The lady frowned after him then shook her head and bustled off elsewhere. Reiya wrinkled his nose then started towards his room. If his mother was looking for him, that would be one of the places she would continuously check. He pushed open the door and pranced in with a sigh.
"This is my room. Mom'll check here every ten or twenty minutes. Then after she yells at me, we can go eat or something, okay?"
The boy felt as if he was at a loss for actions and words. There was an insanely cute boy in his room and he wasn't going to do anything about it. Not even try to pull something. A small blush rose in his cheeks and he sat down with his back against the foot of the bed.

Cepheus quietly followed Reiya, his feeling foreign to everything. He sat down next to the other, completely oblivious to the other's darkned cheeks. He sat openly, his legs in front of him, flat, and his arms drooping down with his hands resting outstretched with the palm facing the floor. Thoughts arose in his head once again about the idea of the partnership. If he didn't end up living here, that would be okay, but to live in the house. Wonder if I'd be liked by his family. Cepheus seemed completely absent from the room as he drifted around in his thoughts. Normally he would be quick to ask such questions, but he just didn't feel like it. Or at least, that's what he kept telling himself. His direct methods of discovering information seemed to falter around Reiya. He just didn't know why though. He was ready to open his mouth to ask if there would be any more to the partnership than just the label. But he just couldn't get himself to ask that, his cheeks blushing at the thought of it meaning anything more.

"Kadelia will be a while. She'll cal us soon though."
Reiya looked at the two pairs of feet with an abandoned sigh. He didn't know what else
I don't know about this. . . I mean, what I'm supposed to do. My brother said there was responsibility. But I never saw his partner since he left home. He does visit sometimes, but he never brings him. . . I just don' understand."
He glanced over at the boy sitting next to him then did a doubletake at the strawberry colour on the other's skin. He shook his head and fell silent. His hand searched for the other's in a spontaneous hope to rid the strange expression from Cepheus' face.

Cepheus felt a gentle hand make contact with his. The feeling was nice, and it made a smile appear on the boy's face. "I guess just...be yourself...do what you think is right." He showed his smile to the other. "It's not like you're my father or anything. I mean, what responsibilities would there be in a partnership?" Cepheus was still unsure what exactly the partnership meant, so for all he knew, he could have been sounding exceedingly stupid in that last comment.

"I dunno. I never took my law classes seriously. . ." He made a face then smiled back, that small innocent smile. He did not know why it came to his lips - he would have preferred a brighter one that did not have the ability to hide lies. But it stayed none the less and he looked patentedly at the blue eyes.
He turned his face back to their feet and whacked at the ground with his left foot. "Why, what's wrong with your father?"

Cepheus blinked. The question startled him a bit, even though he didn't intend to mean what Reiya aparently thought. "I just meant there shouldn't be any responsibility if you aren't my parent, right?" Cepheus looked down at the ground as well. The hand that was still in contact with Reiya's turned so the palm faced Reiya's palm. The hand slowly closed gently on the other's. Cepheus hadn't noticed what he did though.

"What if I turn out to some how be a guardian."
His fingers closed gently along the back of Cepheus' hand and he looked down at the small apendages before blinking. He opened his mouth to say something, but what he was about to voice was cut off when the door slammed open and a woman with the same hazel hued hair as Reiya's glared in at them. Reiya immediately leapt to his feet and crossed over to her, half mindlessly unaware of her expression.
"Mother, I'm sorry. I went to ask Ce-"
Thwak!
The sound of skin hitting skin flew hard through the room and Reiya's head jerked to the side. He had only been slapped by his mother once in his life, and that had been when he was in single digit years. His cheek burned. His eyes narrowed as he brought his head forward, gazing angrily at the lady.
"If you knew how panicked I was! I should lock you in the cellar until your cousin gets here! How dare y-"
Thwak!
Reiya backhanded the woman, just the same as she had done to him. He glared at her and then gave that wonderfully innocent smile.
"Funny you should say that mother. I was just about to tell you that I have found a partner without your help." His tone was carefree and light, as if he was not at all annoyed with the lady in front of him. "His name is Cepheus, and this is he."
He turned his back on the lady then walked back to Cepheus and helped him to his feet. He headed towards the door, "We're going to eat now. See you later Mother."

Cepheus felt a warm feeling as their hands closed in on each other. It made him happy. A guardian, huh? Then he felt his heart stopped as he saw the angry woman burst into the room. He sat back on the floor, futily trying to pretend he was invisible. It seemed unsettling to see the mutual abuse that carried back and forth between the two. The words being exchanged seemed non-existant to Cepheus as all he could see was the angry godzilla of a mother standing before Reiya. He saw Reiya turn to him and he looked at Reiya. He stood up with Reiya's help, managing to pay attention only to the last statement he made. He followed the other, feeling a bit nervous. A street rat in the home of a, at the very least to Cepheus, very wealthy family.

[[ wow. . . mutual abuse huh? Sounds cruel o_o ]]
The older boy turned his russet eyes on Cepheus, but the surprising thing was that they were no longer burning. They were startlingly gleeful. He sighed and tightened his grasp on the boy's fingers slightly before letting go and leading the way to the kitchen.
"Sorry about that. I loose my temper sometimes," He paused, biting his inner lip before pushing open a door off the hall and stepping in. "But you've seen that already. Twice now. . . "
In Reiya's eyes that was either luck or maybe he did like Cepheus more that he thought. His didn't usually cross people twice, people who had gotten on his bad side that is. He looked over to him before sighing and holding his arms akimbo.
"What do you want to eat? I'm not a chief, but my food is usually edible."

"I don't really know. I guess a fruit of any kind would be fine." He was used to having little food, so he was a bit baffled when he was asked what he wanted to eat. Something told him that Reiya intended for him to ask for something more, particularly something he could make. But Cepheus couldn't think of anything to eat. He was lucky to even manage to get any protein at all on the streets. You couldn't exactly steal meat, so he'd have to always find whatever scrapes existed.
((cruel indeed, and what did u mean by "akimbo" ?))

[[ you know when you put your hands on your hips and your elbows face outwards? That's 'akimbo' ]]
Reiya offered a slightly sceptical expression as he eyed the boy's thin frame. He looked Cepheus in the eye then wrung out, "You're not a vegetarian. . . Are you."
He continued standing there silently for a few more seconds in seeming disbelief before he turned his back and started to dig around in a freezer. The metal was freezing against his skin but as soon as he found the meat he was looking for, he slammed it shut and fumbled around under the counter for a cutting board. When he didn't find one, he shrugged and opened a drawer, pulling out a thin, long knife. He looked at it, twisting it around in his hands before wordlessly hacking away at the meat.
"Could you find a pot for me? Should be in the cupboard behind you. The one to the far right."

"I don't think I am," Cepheus replied with little confidence. "Um, sure." Cepheus replied and turned around. He assumed the definition of a cupboard and opened up the one on the right. He pulled out an average size pot and handed it to Reiya. "Will this work?" He felt somewhat confused as to what Reiya was going to do.
