Welcome to Gaia! ::

Marie had blushed secretly in the darkened room as Logan touched her shoulder to let her know he was leaving. She was happy to know he took the time to do something so simple instead of just sneaking out like she thought he would.

Soon the movie was over. Marie was in a very giggly mood now, but still had the needed conversation with Sam prodding her mind.

Getting up from the couch, Marie began the process of shutting the entertainment system off and retrieving her DVD. "We'll have to watch the sequel next week or something," she joked.

Arkell gave a slight sigh as what she would have considered flirting with the blond one failed utterly and she was pretty much ignored by him for the night. Not to say that she didn't enjoy the movie! It was funny and she enjoyed hearing the banter between everyone, occasionally throwing in her own comments and such. She was slightly amazed that she hadn't burst into flames...She gave a yawn and stretched standing up and scruffing her hair. "Aight...I think I'll go to bed now you guys. Thanks for the movie Marie! I'll see you at breakfast, kay?" She waved to her team mate and gave a nod to Sam before shuffling off, rubbing her eyes to her room.

Sergey's eyes widened as Tess' face came in close to his and he felt the boys lips press up against his own. Then he was gone and Sergey had to use to still outstretched hand to support himself off the wall as his brain clicked off. He went forward placing his back against the wall, staring off blankly in front of him as he reached up and touched his lips, a burning blush across his cheeks. Nobody had ever kissed him before...his surrogate mother had given him a few on the cheek on occasion, but nobody had ever kissed him on the lips...what worried him the most at this point, was that he had liked it. He felt a drop of water hit his arm and he looked at it in a daze as he felt more start to him until it was full on raining. He didn't even bother moving and just sat there becoming damp, and then soaked.

Sergey turned and looked to where he saw somebody disappearing off into the forest, and he figured it was Tess. He wanted to go after him, why he didn't know, but he figured it wasn't the correct time....then again....he might kiss him again....NO, that es bad thoughts! He shouted at himself in his mind, to which it's counter was, Psh you like et, and you kno et."Shet...." He pulled himself up off the wall furiously scrubbing the blush from his cheeks and wiping the water out of his eyes. He looked down at the Tess' shirt in his hands and heaved a sigh, jogging over to the forest and slowing to a walk once he went in. He frowned scanning around in the dark. "T-tess?" His voice cracked when he started to speak and he coughed to fix it blushing furiously again. "I have shirt, you vill catch cold out here....."

Sergey jumped when Tess fell out of cover and into a mud puddle in front of him, his heart beating itself into a frenzy at the sudden movement. He let out a relieved breath when he merely saw it was Tess....soaked to the bone, and now muddy. He bit his lip and knealt down to help him shift up. "Here...let me help..." He could feel his face burning again as he was close to him now for the, what? Fourth or fifth time that day? Don't think about it, don't think about it....He remembered now also that Tess wasn't wearing a shirt......He was so screwed. He averted his eyes away from him and turned his face away to hide the redness. He held out Tess's shirt for him to put on.

Sergey turned and looked at him now that he was fully clothed, feeling a little more comfortable. He flinched slightly when he heard Tess say that he wanted to be himself again. How many times had he said that when his body changed? He looked away from him again, pain crossing his features but quickly fading. He cleared his throat and pointed the way he had come to get out of the forest. "Thes vay back to dorms...should get out of rain, might catch cold..." He mumbled shoving his hands into his shorts pockets and beginning to stride away back to the dorms, staring at the ground in front of him.

Alwyn quickly got her dinner and waited for elaine to get hers.

((catching up))

Tess walked out of the bathroom in his new clothes and Mal smiled. It was nice to see that he was able to adjust, even if only a little bit. He turned to the nurse and asked when he could leave. She replied with an almost confused answer.
"Ah.....As soon as you'd like." She mentioned some extra clothes, but Tess said nothing in return to her. Instead, he pulled his fist back and threw it at Sergey, then left the room.
Suddenly standing, Mal shot his gaze between the doorway and Sergey, almost questioningly.
"What the hell?" he asked, but Sergey was already gone, too. Quickly following, Mal hurried behind them through the door, but the nurse was also trying to leave the room. He awkwardly stepped to one side to get past, then to the other. Sighing, he waited a moment for her to pass through the door and he sped to find his friends.
He found them against a wall, Sergey pinning Tess. They were a little closer than Mal would've imagined in this situation, but as he took a step closer, he saw that they were kissing.
Stopping, Mal's eyes grew wide.
"Oh," he stammered. In an instant, Tess was then gone. He'd slipped out of his shirt and rolled away from Sergey, then run into the nearest woods. Sergey stood still for a moment as it started to rain, then turned as Tess entered the woods. Almost second-guessing himself, he strode towards the forest after the dog-boy-turned-human.
Mal started to follow them, but then stopped.
This is getting way out of my league, he thought. Turning, he awkwardly looked for something to occupy his time until they got out of the woods. He wanted to see if they were okay, but after what had just happened, this was something he'd leave them to figure out.
Turning once more, he spotted Lucy sitting under a covered area. Walking over to her, he sat down on the ground and looked to her.
"How's your day been?" he asked. She eyed him almost sarcastically and he nodded.
"Me, too." He sat with his cat for a while, out of the rain. He didn't speak and Lucy didn't move. She just kept her gaze on the forest as though she'd been watching the events just as Mal had.
A few minutes later, Tess emerged from the forest, wet and covered in mud. Mal stood, but didn't go to him, worried it wasn't his place. He counted to three and, as if on cue, Sergey came out of the forest, wet, but not muddy, his hands in his pockets. They both headed for the dorms and Mal scooped up Lucy and followed. She didn't much like the rain, but she was curious enough about the events going on that she didn't mind it. The two boys entered the dorm while Mal was trying to catch up, but after a moment, Tess exited again, leaving Sergey standing at the door. Mal entered the dorms and stood next to Sergey, looking outside through the glass doors at Tess.
There was silence for a moment, almost awkward. Mal had a strong urge to say....something, he didn't know what. The words just weren't coming. Lucy, however, was looking to Sergey as though she expected him to speak first. Finally, it was Mal who broke the silence.
"Well," he said. "That was an exciting day."
