Welcome to Gaia! ::

((kinda like Jordyn, lol, she's cute))
Jordyn's face lit up with charm and he purrs, "Why thank you.... But he did have a little help, I only spend my time on the absolute best..." His eyes glance to Kyo, before turning back to her, watching her leave the room. He laughs a little bit, "I like her, she's cute... she handles hangovers pretty well too."

Isaac laughs a little, trying to slow down some, but he was unsucessful. For being so small, Akio used the power he had well enough to drag Isaac down the stairs. They finally skid into the kitchen, smal drops of milk splattering the floor in a slosh of the glass. Jordyn turns, takes one look at them and laughs, "You know, the two of you are both so delicate and graceful, yet together, I've never seen such a clumsy pair of fools..."
Isaac rolls his eyes, handing the glass of milk to Jordyn, "Atleast I maintain some grace when alone.... So..." His tone becomes more serious, "Do they want us to pick her up..." Jordyn finishes his question and answers it at the same time, "As soon as we can... She's probably causing trouble there, so thats a good sign of health." Isaac smiles a little and nods, commenting something softly in Cherokee.

Jordyn stares at his brother for a moment and nods, disposing of the cake plates and grasping Akio's arm gently. He purrs slightly, "Come on, little songbird, we need to discuss some things...." He leands him from the room and out the front door. Once it closed, he says softly, "We really don't, but they do... We can just hang tight in the car for a minute or two while our protective brothers make their peace..."

Isaac blinks, swallowing hard like a nervous child, but semi-prideful all the same, keeping his chin high. As they finally left the house, he looks to Kyo. He finally speaks to break the silence, but in a very low voice, "Listen... I... I'm sorry... I guess you and I both know what its like to worry about our brothers... But I should have never suspected anything wrong of you... I haven't seen Jordyn this... happy.... in a long time... I know you won't hurt him because you would kill me if I ever hurt Akio... And Kyo... If I ever did in some way hurt Akio, I would show up on your doorstep and personally kill myself to save you the trouble...."

Jordyn smirks slightly at Akio's question, raising an eyebrow and quite remembering just how little Akio and Isaac knew about him and Kyo. He yawns slightly, "Oh, not too much... we stayed up late last night talking.... But today we went to the park and then to the movies.... You know, I would have never guessed that Kyo was... well, interested in men. He surprised me and nearly scared me to death..." He glances towards the house, mumbling, "Gosh, this is taking a while..."

Isaac nods slowly, "No... I can totally understand the way you felt... And that probably wasn't the best first impression to make..." He blushes slightly, glancing away before saying softly, "I'll be there for Akio no matter what happens..." His eyes turn back to Kyo, and he smiles warmly, gently joking, "As long as you promise not to rip my brother's heart out..." He extends his hand to shake Kyo's, "Which I'm sure you won't... And um... be, uh... patient with him... He has a tendancy to trust the first guy who takes him to bed...." ((lol))

((ooh, touche!))
Jordyn blushes slightly, but begins to giggle, "Sorry we were kind of loud last night... But at least we left the movie theatre so as not to disturb any one..." He glances to Akio, his face becoming serious again, "Hmm... He hasn't told me much about others who have been in his life... I have a lot of research to do, a lot of barriers to break down... But I think most people do in new relationships... That's what pulls two people together..." He glances up, seeing Kyo and Isaac exiting the house, "Finally!"
Isaac can see he look on Jordyn's face and giggles, climbing into the front seat of the car beside his brother. Any other timee he would sit with Akio, but... well, right now, he and Jordyn had things to discuss on the way to the hospital. Jordyn pulls out of the driveway and the two brothers begin making small soft comments in Cherokee.

Isaac raised an eyebrow when he heard Akio and Kyo begin to speak in Japanese. At any other moment, he would have thought the situation hilarious, but there was a good reason he was using Cherokee. (I'm going to post in English, but whatever is in italics is in "Cherokee," but its just to give an insight to their conversation for dramtic irony's purpose)
Isaac commented softly, "I'm guessing they're not just 'sending her home early' for good health..."
Jordyn kept his eyes on the road, answering, "Your guess would be correct... They have a whole new list for her this time..."
Isaac gazed out the window for a long moment before slowly saying, "Jordyn... I'm so sorry.... I can't drop out now... can you...? I can't keep an eye on her withouth moving her off the reservation and she'll never agree to that..."
Jordyn sighs softly his head beginning to ache, knowing that Isaac could probably feel the pain of it as well. He whispers, "There's always...-"
"No.... I'm not sending her to a home... I'll take care of her..."
Jordyn blinked in surprise and turned to stare at his brother, "But what about.... Izzy, you can't just drop out of high school.... and you'd be leaving Akio......"
Isaac was totally silent the rest of the way, keeping his hair down in a veil that hid his face as he stared out the window.

((hey, the story needs some conflict, I won't let him break Akio's heart))
The four got out of the car, Isaac and Jordyn both silent. Jordyn returns to Kyo's side, Isaac walking ahead, his hands in his pockets, hair still hanging like a veil, head tilted downwards. He walks to the front counter, gaining access before they all walked back to his mother's room. He stops outside the door, taking a deep breath and sighing it out. Jordyn gingerly slid his hand into Kyo's, glancing to him and smiling slightly. Isaac walked into the room, his face immediately donning a mask of light-heartedness. Their motherstood there beside the bed, dressed in a dark brown sweat and a pair of jeans. When standing, anyone could see she was very short, even shorter than Akio, about 4'10". Her littlechubby hand was holding a suitcase and her hair was loose. She stood their pridefully and instantly squeaked with joy wen they entered. She hobbles over to Isaac quickly, pulling his ace down so she could kiss his cheeks. He laughs, "Mama... we've come to get you out of here..."
A nurse standing by comments, "And not a moment too soon." There was a dark purple bruise on her left temple the diameter of a coke can. Isaac turns and inspects her for a moment, "Bedpan??"
She rolls her eyes, "Your mother should be a pitcher for the major leagues..."
Jordyn laughs gently at her, "We're sorry... But its not our fault that its always your shift when our mother is in the hospital... Maybe she times it so that she can visit you. She really is fond of you... You should see the damage she does to other nurses..."
Isaac smiles, taking his mother's hand, but she immediately shakes it off and walks over to Kyo. She looks up, having to c**k her head all the way back to gaze bewildered up at the young man. She finally smiles with the few teeth she has left, "He is good boy. So tall. But strong, yes. Carry momma's bag." She boldly pushes her bag into his hand with the sweetest smile. Jordyn stands by watching, trying not to crack up at the look on Kyo's face.

((lol, I can call you evil because I'm evil too blaugh ))
Isaac saw the way Akio was acting and turned to glance at him, giving him a weak smile. His mother was distracted with Kyo and Jordyn for the time being. Isaac turned to Akio and suddenly pulled him into a really strong hug, his arms trembling slightly. He remembered what Jordyn had said... He couldn't leave Akio... but he couldn't leave his mother alone. High school was not his biggest concern right now. He could drop out and still have enough knowledge and skills to land himself a good paying job, but he couldn't ask the same of Akio. The reservation was nearly two hours from the high school. He knew he could go to visit Akio... But things wouldn't feel the same. He hugs him closely enough so that Akio couldn't pull back and see the tears in Isaac's, but he wasn't crushing him. He whispers softly, "Things may not be ok for a little while..."

Jordyn glanced to the other side of the room, seeing Isaac hugging Akio. He sighs softly, disheartened. He then puts back on his old smile, leading Kyo and his mother from the room, "Come on, we need to sign you out." Jordyn's mother followed and as she did, she kepts her eyes locked on Kyo, as if curiously studying him. She finally comments (as they ae walking down the hall) in broken english, "Easy feathers find.... Strong, so much strong.... So easy feathers... Jordyn know, yes?... Strong, easy find feathers..." Jordyn smiles genuinely now, glancing to Kyo warmly. He softly explains, "Each person's character can be personified by the feathers of two birds... Your personality is so strong, she says she can easily know your feathers... And I knew them too, the night we met... I'll tell them to you later, ok?"

Isaac finally let out a shaky sigh, a few tears running down his face. He knew things would be ok but it would all be much harder now. He whispers, "I have to watch out for her... She has to take her medicine or she'll just end up here again... She only lives on the reservation.... I'm dropping out of school for now... I need you to tell my teachers that and have them email my work to me if they can..." He stops, not even wanting to discuss the other problem that this involved, but instead pulled back a little, callously brushing away at his tears. He didn't even want to think about leaving Akio. He looks to the floor, "I'm sorry..."

Jordyn smirks a little, "We'll discuss it later, when you're ready, child... Boys only get their feathers when they become men.." He sticks out his tongue. HIs mother laughs as well, showing her sweet few-toothed smile. She reaches up, tugging on Kyo's hair, commenting, "My Jordyn picks good man this time..."

Isaac swallows hard, his eyes returning to Akio's, where he could see just how upset Akio was. He had never wanted things to turn out like this. Just an hour ago he had promised Kyo he would never leave Akio. He bites his bottom lip hard, as if hoping that would help, but it didn't. He reaches out to run his fingers through Akio's hair, his tears spilling over again, but there weren't any sobs to accompany them. He pulls his lover close again, desperately kissing his lips, his arms holding him close. He broke the kiss, speaking soft fast he could barely be understood, "I'll visit every chance I get. It's only two hours away from the school. I'll come everyday. And its not forever, just until she can take her medicine without someone looking over her shoulder. And..... God.... Akio, please don't think I'm leaving you...."

Jordyn laughs slightly, "Oh, I believe you are a man... In fact, you've proved to me that you are a man.... multiple times.... Either that or you are a very mature child..." His mother nods matter-of-factly, not understnading what her son was talking about, but cutely tryingto contribute to the conversation. Jordyn giggles at his mother before continuing, "A man needs a special ceremony to be given his feathers..."
