Steal Karik stood out on the porch looking at the house before him. He shifted from foot to foot, his wings fluttering softly across his back as he opened and closed his mouth, apparently silently, though in truth he was makeing a very high squeaking sound to let him know that he was indeed standing before a door. Amirynth Ryn decided to go and get a breath of fresh air and opened the door to see a little bat uke standing before him. The drafina blinked a few times as he was not expecting such a cute little thing to be standing in front of him and then smiled warmly. "Hello there, you needed to get inside?" Steal The small uke shifted a bit, blinking slowly at the shape before him. His eyes weren't all that good. He could tell something was there though, it was talking afterall, and though his eyes were bad, his hearing wasn't. "Inside.." The bat squeaked, stepping back and nearly falling off the porch. "I.. don't know where I am." Amirynth "Well... your here at the Shounen house." Ryn wasn't quite sure what to call it and figured a descriptive would work. He peered at the uke and realized that the bats eyes seemed to look in a slightly different direction than normal. Tilting his head to the side he ran his fingers though his hair. "Can I help you find something or someone?" Steal The bat shifted a little. "The shounen house?" He shook his head a little and stepped forward to the shape before him, parting his lips again and makeing a squeak so that he could tell by echo what was inside. "I.. am.. not sure how I got here.." Amirynth "Well usually people just show up so I can't really help you too much there. Would you like to come inside though?" He moved to the side so the uke could pass through if he wanted. "I could show you around or help you out with something." After a thought he added, "Can I get you something to eat maybe?" Steal Karik shifted a little, before takeing a step forward and nearly tripping on the door jamb. He hadn't been aware that it was there, as he was more interested in direct openness to the door. The slight stubbing of his bare foot caused him to yelp a little, the sound higher in pitch than one would generally expect. He was a bat though and sonic sounds were general from them. The small bat uke then tried to step forward and hit his shoulder on the door. "Sorry can't.. see too well." Amirynth Here, let me give you a hand. I appoligise if this is a little forward." Picking up the fragile uke he moved into the room. Taking a few strides across the room he deposited the bat onto a couch. "There, that might be a little better for you." Sittign a little way away on the other side of the couch he watched the uke, thinking for a moment. "Do you have a name? Mine is Ryn, it's a pleasure to meet you." Steal Karik gasped as he was literally swept off his feet. He could feel himself being moved and he started makeing squeaking sounds to clarify where the other was going with him. As he was taken across the room he shifted in the arms holding him, causeing his leather clothing to make soft creaking sounds.
Upon being set down the bat shifted again, drawing his legs up under him. "K-Karik.. I am Karik.." He noved again so that he was mostly faceing the seme. "I.. can't see too well.. I think I got lost. See.. I.. I.. was.." he swallowed. "The big man had me on a leash.. it broke.. I got away.. Its bad.. I know when he finds me again he will hit me more.. Then.. he will do the other stuff.." Amirynth "Some one had you on a leash? Why would they do that?" The drafina had never heard of anyone enjoying something like that and was taken aback slightly. Thinking to himself he found a protective instince rising over him "Well Karik, I can show... umm... help you learn your way around here and you can stay here for a while. I'll keep you safe from that man if you want." Steal Karik was a little taken aback by the offer or protection and he gave a shy smile. "Sometimes he hurt me, but sometimes he did fun things too, or made me do things." He laughed a little pulling his legs under him more. "I liked when some things were done, but not when he was really mad. I know he would be really mad now."
He shifted a bit closer to Ryn, mistakeing the kindness as perhaps a request for Karik to go into servitude with him. "I wouldn't mind if you wanted to put a leash on me.. if you were nice... and didn't really get mad." Amirynth This caused the drafina to stammer a little. "But I don't have a leash." The feeling of the little bat close to him was nice though and instinctively he put his arms around the uke. "I'm sorry I wouldn't know what to do if you were on a leash but I'm not the type to get mad or anything." So the little one liked being on a leash He pondered about that for a moment as he held the bat. "So... what kind of things do you do when you are on a leash anyway? No... hold on, maybe you can tell me later" He suddenly thought that a conversation like that should be talked about else where as an odd memory floated in his head of what someone had told him once. Steal Karik started to part his lips to tell what he used to do for the other, but let the words dry up at the realization that Ryn had changed his mind. He shrugged a little and just leaned on the warm shoulder. This was nice. It was so rare to be in contact with another and not be hurt. He closed his eyes and murmured. "It wasn't all bad... but, later if you want." The uke's large wings curled around him, like a black cape to go with the rest of his leather clothing. Amirynth He nodded and then paused before adding, "yes, maybe later." He thought about what it would be like, not being able to see well and felt slightly sad before realizing that this uke probably had delt with this for a long time and would have a different oppinion. "So, other than leashes, what kind of things do you like?" The drafina broke the silence as his unconsiously ran his hand up and down the uke's arm. There was some comfort in having a small body lay partially on him but the seme wasn't normally the one to start things and close contact was one thing that didn't happen often. Steal The smaller bat uke murmured a bit as he made himself very comfortable next to the drafina. He slid down a bit more before pillowing his head on the seme's lap. It was an unconsious movement, one that spoke of a desire for gentle contact. "I.. like.. listening to the night sounds.. and hanging upsidedown.. I like small places." He smiled a little. "sometimes.. when people are happy around me I like this.. just.. being with someone and.. feeling... happy." He slid one small hand out to touch Ryn's leg lightly, just to make sure it was all real. "What do you like?" Amirynth Feeling the uke move further down was odd to the seme and he paused, not quite sure how to react. The bat seemed pefectly innocent in his movements and so Ryn relaxed and felt glad that he was wearing his jeans instead of looser pants. His mind wandered as he thought over the bats likes before jumping back to the present with the light touch on his leg... this was definatly more contact than he was, not that he was complaining... Trying to bring his mind back into the present he thought about what he liked. "Hmm... well I like drawing, colouring mostly. Sunsets, the smell and sound of the rain, poetry, though I am not very good at writing it." He thought for another moment, "I guess I like this too... being around people who are happy and such." Steal The bat smiled and started traceing patterns on the leg of the jeans as he listened. "Poetry, never heard much more of that than the one about the man from Nantucket.." He shook his head. "I don't like that much." He smiled and gave a gentle squeaking sound. "Um.. I can't color well, I can't see the lines too good and people yell." He turned his head a bit. "I can't draw either, not that I try much. I.. I like.. I like listening to people read though." He shifted more and nuzzled the leg lightly. "You are warm.." Amirynth "That's the only poem you have heard?" Ryn paused trying to think of a suitable one. "Here..." The drafina raised himself slightly to get a little space before starting,
"O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art
As glorious to this night, being o'er my head
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air."
With a smile he moved back so that the uke could once again lay his head on his lap. "That's from a play that was written by Shakespeare, he wrote almost everything as a poem."

Enikil Wings fluttering a bit, Milo lay across the lawn, the sun light glittering over his wings. The grass felt nice and he was half asleep, an open book resting on his chest. He was so sleepy, having been up doing things and hanging out with Daisuki. Amirynth Tsuki was heading home from the temple, a small pot in his hands. It was a new bonsai, a special willowtree-like strain that had caught his eye. It didn't look like it was in good shape so he had decided to take it home to see if he could restore it. With light clicks of his feet against the cobbles of the pathway his passage took him right beside the lovebird though he didn't notice at first as he was watching the sun as it started to go down. Enikil Upon hearing the clicking sound, a groggy bird opened his eyes and lifte dhis head a bit. "Tsuki...?" He said softly, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes with a baggy sweater sleeve. HIs wings lay lazily on the soft grass, not having the energy to lift them. Amirynth The deer stopped suddenly and turned with wide eyes. With a smile he bowed before comming off the path and taking a few steps in the grass "Konbanwa Milo-chan. O genki desu ka? How are this evening." Tsuki felt at peace with the world for the moment and was happy to shair the time. Enikil Pulling himself up from the grass, he rubbed a sleepy eye still. Blades of grass stuck out from his hair in all directions, hair a bloody mess. "I'm really good acctually!" he beamed, seeming to be way happier then ever before. "How are you?" Amirynth The deer smiled, happy to see his friend was doing so well. "I am doing good, Milo-chan." Tsuki sat down in the grass and pulled a few blades of grass out of the uke's hair. "It is nice to see everyone happy again." The deer hugged his knees and turned his gaze over to where the sun was setting. Enikil "Thats good Tsuki, I'm glad" Milo smiled, blinking when the blade of grass was plucked from his hair. He ran a hand through it, getting it all out then looked out to fadeing sunlight. The golden bird looked to him and then to the plant he had with him. "Thats a very sad looking plant you have there...." Amirynth Tsuki looked down at the bonsai and smiled lightly. "It is willowtree breed, hard to take care of. I hope to make much better." The deer looked towards Milo, "I found bonsai in shady spot with not much water. Willowtree needs water so I hope by planting next to small pond bonsai will grow better." Enikil "It looks like it will be nice once you've taken care of it" The bird smiled, looking at the tree with a frown. "You're good with plants Tsuki, you'll get it fixed" Amirynth "Arigatou gosaimasu, Thankyou Milo-chan." He looked down at the small tree. "I like plants, they are good listeners." The deer placed it safely to the side and leaned back, propping himself up with his pale arms. Enikil Milo looked over at the deer with a small smile and sighed happily. He was so content. He had friends and now a loved one, he never knew he'd be this happy again. Rubbing the back of his neck, he watched the sun fade, the eventing invading the sky as starts came out in their silent persession.

Amirynth Tsuki tilted his head over to the side and leant it gently on the other uke. With a soft sigh he pointed out a few constellations. "Damalis taught me a few names for the stars, that one there is Big dipper and that one is Cassiopea..." Enikil The golden bird smiled lightly when the other leaned on him, giggling when the dark black hair cascade over his thin shoulder. "DId he?" He smiled, looking to the sky. "He's really good with stars" Amirynth "Yes, Damalis knows a lot about everything." The deer nuzzeled softly, enjoying the small contact that he had with the uke. "He knows a lot of stories too... Even of Japan. Sometimes, I help him with translating." Enikil "He's one of those jack of all trades" Milo giggled a bit, relaxing his head utop of the deers. "I only know the stories like fairy tales and stuff.... things that I find all over the place" He replied softly, looking into the sky still. "it must be cool to know more then one language.." Amirynth "Igirisugo wa muzukashii desu. English is hard to learn... I try my best." The moon deer stretched his hoves out in the long grass, his kimono flaring out to both sides. The green blades were cooling to the uke's pale legs. "I can teach you some japanese. Nihongo o oshiemasu." Enikil "Your English is really good, I can always understand you" Milo said softly, smiling lightly at the moon uke. There was like a hidden bond between them almost. Maybe it was becuase they were both celestrial shounen, the moon and the planet Venus. "Really you would? That would be so cool!!" Enikil "Arigatou gosaimasu. I work hard to speek well." Tsuki nodded with a light smile as he turned to face Milo. "It would be my pleasure to teach you Japanese, Milo-chan." He giggled slightly and raised a finger to poke the little bird uke's cheek. "You know one Japanese word already."

Dooma Marrow had moved towards his home rather lazily. He had no reason to hurry to his little shack. He laughed softly and look up at the sky growing dark as night aprouched. He streached and looked up ahead seeing his home in the near distance. Amirynth Tsuki had been walking home from the temple when the small stack of papers he had been carrying were blown by the wind. Catching as many as he could some still got caught near the water near by. Carefully stacking the papers under a rock so they wouldn't blow away again, the moon uke made his way down to the waters edge to retrieve the last of the sheets. Dooma Marrow blinked as a peice of paper covered his face. Sitting up he grabed the paper off his face and sitting up he looked at the paper. Then his eyes caught movement, Looking up he saw a rather fancy dressed uke trying to collect the papers. He pulled himself up on the shore and started collecting the papers near him. Amirynth Tsuki reached the shore line where he saw another shounen picking up his papers. "Gomenasai..." He bowed slightly before adding. "Arigatou gosaimasu. Watashi no..." The deer suddenly realized he was chatting away in Japanese. "Sorry... Thank you for helping me. I did not see the wind blow the papers." With another bow he took the few slightly sodden pages and added them to his pile. Suddenly he lowered his gaze and added. "Please forgive. I am grateful to you and pleased to meet you. I am called Tsukishika. Many call me Tsuki." Dooma Marrow blinked as the fancy dressed uke. "No need to be sorry. I am glad to help." He smiled lightly and shocked at how rapidly the little uke was going about things. Of course Marrow did not think that everyone was as laied back as him. He tilted his head a bit his purple hair falling in his face as he watched Tsukishika lower his gaze. "Pleasure to meet you Tsuki, my name is Marrow." Amirynth "Hajimemashite Marrow-sama. It is a great pleasure to meet you." The deer, papers gathered, seemed to have forgotten what he had been doing previously. "Ano... I do not believe I have met you before? Are you from the house?" He motioned towards the large house of the shounen before turning back, his gaze again lowered demurely. Dooma Marrow shook his head, this one seemed to be a rather busy little guy. He laughed and looked at the house, "We have never met and I have never been there...so I guess I will have to say no on that question, are you?"
He was amused byt this fast past Uke to say the least. "You looked like you were in a hurry to go some where." Amirynth Frowning the deer replied, "I was not in hurry, it was nice to walk out in the night time." He was curious to what might have prompted that and thought about how fast he might have grabbed the papers. "I need to keep papers safe from water." He didn't have the words to describe the many hours of training that had developed a sense of tranquility and yet immediate reaction. Dooma Marrow nods, "Oh I see, I could have sworn with the rate you were walking you were is some kind of a hurry." He shruged and leaned back in the water lowering himself up to his shoulders.
He loved the way the water felt in the night it was even colder then the day but oh so nice. "Well I would ask for you too swim but it is rather late and I am sure the water would be too cold for you." He looked around and looking lazy he leaned forward again, "So where were you heading?"

Aqua Drageen "Nah, I was thinking of flying home, Mr. Arachnid," the pegasus said rather indignantly. He stood and pushed back his chair, which upon reflection was not a good idea. Lysander toppled to one side before settling himself with his hands on the table. He gave a little snort, too out of sorts to be very much embarrassed. "After I remember how to walk first." Amirynth Tsuki was up in his room, the kettle on the little single ring cooker. He hummed slightly as he ground the tea leaves to a nice fine powder. One ear perked up to listen for the tale tale whistle of the kettle, the moon uke finished with the tea leaves and gathered the few things he would need to finish making the tea. Thinking for a moment he moved over to a small chest of draws and opened up the top drawer. Inside sat little bundles of what turned out to be herbs. Taking some willowbark the deer added it to the tealeaves. That would help with the sour muscles in the morning, and it was also useful for calming and headachs too. The kettle began to sing and so he reached over and turned down the heat a little. Pouring himself a cup the uke reflected on the new seme he had just met. Quicksilver the Archangel Kieran finished paying the bill just in time to see the winged-seme resettle himself, and again he let the insult slide. They were both too drunk to get into an arguement now anyway. Instead, he rose carefully to his feet, making sure that he could maintain his own sense of balance before he grabbed the other Shounen's arm and threw it over his shoulder to support him. "Come on then, you a**. I'll make sure we both get home."
Feeling much more light-hearted then when the trip began, the scorpian found himself singing as he helped the other out the door and towards their mutual home. Afterall... he was draggiing someone back, and not being dragged back. He was giving support, not recieving it. Not to mention he had most definatly won the drinking contest. What could possibly be more seme then that?
"There's a tear in your eye,
And I'm wondering why,
For it never should be there at all.
With such pow'r in your smile,
Sure a stone you'd beguile,
So there's never a teardrop should fall.
When your sweet lilting laughter's
Like some fairy song,
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be;
You should laugh all the while
And all other times smile,
And now, smile a smile for me.
When Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away." Aqua Drageen Lysander obediently settled into Kieran's support -- for all the spitfire he let out while tipsey, he still didn't seem to waver far from his laid-back attitude. His white ears swivveled to the side when Kieran began to sing, the song a bit familiar even if it was unexpected.
"If I didn't know better, I'd say you're coming onto me," he gave a large grin, broken at intervals by some chuckles. It seemed terribly hilarious at the time. He waited a moment, composing some thoughts into a line.
"For your smile ish part
Of teh luff in your heart,
And it makes even suuuunshine more bright."
Well now. Three lines. He thought that was rather admirable, even if they were off beat. Quicksilver the Archangel Kieran gave a good-natured humph. "Well, s'a good thing y'know better then, hm?"
He listened to the blurred lines of the other with a grin of his own before continuing where the other seme had left off.
"Like the linnet's sweet song,
Crooning all the day long,
Comes your laughter and light.
For the springtime of life
Is the sweetest of all
There is ne'er a real care or regret;
And while springtime is ours
Throughout all of youth's hours,
Let us smile each chance we get."
The building they both called home was within sight whenever he got to the final chorus.
"When Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away." Aqua Drageen Lysander hummed along as the song continued, not really able to keep up with Kieran's beat or enunciation. The lyrics weren't paid much mind in the first place, or else the pegasus might have had some hesitations about singing it out loud with a justafriend seme. Some other vague tune began to worm its way into his mind, one he knew better anyway. The impending location, much akin to the lyrics, was largely lost in the sea of his mind.
... And just WTF happened in his pants?! They had become rather... tight.

Quicksilver the Archangel Kieran's shoulders were just as grateful to see the familiar house as he himself was, and he carefully manuevered around the still-humming Lysander in order to turn the door knob and open it. "See? Told you I'd get us home." Aqua Drageen "Of course you did, naaaanny~ Can't have us out after dark can you?" Nevermind that the had left close to dark, as that was irrelivant to the irrelivant conversation. His eyes squinted as the artificial light hit them, hiding some of the haze that had built up. There was, however, no hiding the red tinge to his cheeks or the rather odd way his tail swished about. He put a finger under his tie to loosen it absently. Amirynth The moon uke looked up from he tea when he heard the front door slam. Wondering if the others were done he decided to go and have a look. Placing the kettle to the side and turning the little heater off for saftey, Tsuki stood wandering over to the door. With a glance outside the large ears could hear voices comming from down stairs. They seemed to be singing and rather slurred. The deer was quite startled and moved over to the top of the stairs to see who it could be. Quicksilver the Archangel Kieran snorted, "Yeah, yeah. But without this 'nanny' you'd have to look after yourself, and then you never would've gotten home."
He noted the added color in Lysander's cream colored cheeks and the movement to loosen his tie, and a single purple eyebrow shot up. "Something wrong? Need me to help you to the bathroom or something?" Aqua Drageen "I'm alright, I'm alright~ Quit worrying over it. It's just a little hot, yanno?" he laughed a bit and shrugged it off. Taking a small, experimental step to the side Lysander was pleased to discover he could hold his own balance again. Perhaps is was the new slush to his mind, but the lyrics he had been after before finally decided to come out.
"Comin thro' the rye, poor body,
Comin thro' the rye,
She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
Comin thro' the rye!" Amirynth The deer's eyes widened when he recognized the voices of Kieran and Lysander. Taking a few steps down the stairs he could hear one of them singing a song he had never hear before. Curiously he made his way down the rest of the starcase to greet them and maybe find out where the song came from. "Okaerinasai, Kieran-san and Lysander-sama." He bowed with a smile, his loose, white kimono flowing softly with his movements. Enikil As he made his way downwards, he heard singing and loud slurred voices. Quirking a floppy ear, he made his way down the second side stair case to the lower floor.
Once at the bottom of the steps, he blinked his brown hues at what he saw. He smiled the instent he saw Lysander, giving him a tiny wave. The giraffe then came closer and stood with the group.
"Evening everyone" He chirped happily, feeling in a bit better spirits then he was before. Quicksilver the Archangel Kieran gave a languid stretch and a lazy flick of his tail as Lysander launched into a new song, one that he wasn't familiar with. This was soon interuppted by the apppearence of first Tsuki and then Cecil. He gave a half-smile and wave, "Hullo." Aqua Drageen Lysander stopped the redition of "Through the Rye" as soon as he caught sight of Tsuki entering. He hadn't seen the deer since... well, since awhile, as his mind wasn't complying to pinning down exact times. He remembered Tsuki fondly, if not chalking him up to being a little... enigmatic? Perhaps just different was the best word. He probably could have played off the shock under better circumstances.
"Yo," he answered cheerfully, giving a psuedo-wave. Ah, but that wasn't the end of it -- Cecil was bounding up as well.
"A rather nice evening it is," he added, now grinning like a maniac with the uke all around. Amirynth "Konbanwa Lysander-sama. Atashi wa genkidesu ne?" The deer smiled again before repleating himself in English. "It is a good night to see you. You are very full of life yes?" Realizing in his curiosity he had not put down his tea cup, the uke looked around for a place to put it. Spotting the small coffy table in the corner he walked over and placed it carefully on the wall edge of the table. "It is late, you have just returned home?" Enikil The giraffe looked at the two seme's, finding something a bit off with them. Lysanders face was all flushed and he looked a bit... messy? was the even the right word for it? " You both seem very lively tonight" he giggled a bit then walked over a bit more. Thats when he caught the slight smell.
"Fwee..." he put a hand to his nose." You two smell like smoke.... cigarette smoke... and more so on your part Lysander... where have you guys been?" He asked softly. Usually Lysander carried that sweet tobbacco sent, but this time it was move over baring and not so pleasent. Quicksilver the Archangel Kieran just shrugged at Cecil's question, brushing aside some of his purple hair. "We went out and had a couple of drinks at a bar. I outdrank him by one, I think. Or maybe we were even. It's... a little hard to remember at this point." Aqua Drageen "I think he cheated," Lysander said, poking Kieran a bit on the head. "Or maybe it's just because I don't drink. I'm pretty sure it's one of those. Hn. But yeah, we just got back." His gaze flowed from Tsuki's loose kimono as the deer set his cup down to Cecil's dapper cheer, even when he supposed he might have stunk. Mmm. The pegasus may have been speaking in a straight line by now, but his thoughts weren't so together.
"Nomen mihi est Dominus -- hodie vobiscum cenabo." He had to stifle a laugh at that, only half realizing he had fallen into Latin. Amirynth Tsuki wrinkeled his nose, catching the scent from the seme. With a small grimice he motioned towards the baths. "I have soap, take away smell. I could go get if that is waht you wish?" His ears flicked at the unfamiliar language the pagasus spoke. "Lysander-sama, what speek, uh... speech was that?" Shaking his head he realized he still had the wrong word. "What language was that?" Quicksilver the Archangel Kieran didn't know any foreign languages when he was sober, much less when his head was beginning to swim as the alcohol he had drunk began to really hit home. However, he didn't much like the look of the intoxicated Pegasus Shounen, even if he didn't understand the strange words, and the sight of Tsuki indicating the baths made what little sense he had left kick in like a boxer when the bell was rung. To a drunken seme, even one as normally reserved as Lysander, that sounded just too much like an open invitation, even if the Moon uke didn't mean it that way.
"No... no... I think... think Lysander sh-should go and have a nap first," he managed to get out, taking the other forcibly by the arm. "He's... gonna have huge headache in the morning, and THEN, yes, he'll need a s-... sh-... a bath."
With that he unceremoniously dragged the other seme away, not stopping until they had reached the door to Lysander's room. When they arrived, he released his hold, slumping against the wood and pressing his forehead against it. "Phew. That was close..."

Steal Seki had finally made his way into the main hall, seating himself at the piano and staring at the keys. He wanted to play a tune that may lure the others out of hiding that he could meet new people, but he wasn't sure what would work. "Rusty.." he mumbled softly, one hand adjusting his cape to cover his wings more. Enikil "You know Cecil I thought you had more sense then that! Honestly!" The raven said as he held the door open for his giraffe friend, a coffee in the other hand. The others coal hues looked tired, rings starting to form around them ever so slightly. "You could have called my cell?"The Giraffe walked through the door, a bag of things in his pale hand as he scuttled out of the way. "Tobi I'm real sorry I really am! If I could have called I would have..." He sighed a little and shifted the bag in his hand. On hsi face were new glasses since his old ones had been broken days before. Cecil had to say he was happy and a little glad that Tobi was worried about him. Though it appeared that the raven was being a real jerk, it was jsut his way of showing he was really worried about him. They'd been friends logn enough to tell the difference between worried and very pissed off witht he ravem. Quicksilver the Archangel Kieran hummed lightly as he sat on the couch, one hand pressing the up button repeatedly to flip channels while the other drummed out a rhythm on the couch arm. Oddly enough, he found himself adjusting to his daily alcohol alotment with little problems. That made him rather happy. Now... just a few more weeks and he'd be off the stuff forever.
... or so he hoped. He knew that addictions could be harder to break, and all the books he'd read on the subject reminded him that it would be a daily battle with the bottle. He'd just have to get used to it.
He paused in his search for something to watch on television when he heard the door open, and he shifted to glance over the couch. Who had come home? Steal Seki frowned down at the ebony and ivory keys before him, his fingers playing over them before finding a placement he liked. Slowly his pale tail started to sway as he pressed his fingers down, a gentle tune starting to build. It was like weaving for him, you start off slow until you know what you are makeing, and only then could you adjust your movements and tempo to create what was intended. As he struck each key with gentle pressure he started to rock with the music, his lips forming words before his lungs begged him to give them birth. He was back with his music again, and it felt right. Enikil "Just remember for next time.... I don't really liek the idea of you going over there anymore... That Horse's friend seems a little skettchy" he muttered, walkign in furhter tiredly. He was exhuasted, he hadn't slept in a few days having been searchiong all over for Cecil then had to go out and get the poor Giraffe new glasses and what not.Sighign and just shaking his head, he looked over and spotted Keiran sitting on the couch peering over at t hem. " Keiran!" he waved a little, a bright smile on his face. Quicksilver the Archangel Kieran smiled, giving a wave of his own. "Hi Cecil." He hadn't seen the giraffe in some time, and he was certain he had never met the other uke with him. The scorpian frowned in thought, taking in the black feathers and something clicked, "Hey... you're Tobias, right?" Enikil "I haven't seen you in so long!" he beamed, heading over and lookign a thim over the back of the couch. "how have you been doing?" he asked softly, then looked over his shoudler at the raven."Yes... whats it to you?" he asked evenly, sipping his vofee idly and looking over at him with a cool coal eye. he was not in the mood for idle chit chat or perkiness... "Uh... please excuse Tobias... he's a little crabby... he can be very nice though! Please don't think poorly of him!" Quicksilver the Archangel "I've been better, but things are beginning to look up," the seme replied honestly, setting the remote down so that he could better turn to face the two other Shounen. "How about you? I've not seen you in a while either!"
He sent a scarlet gaze to counter Tobias's coal, but his was friendly, "Nothing, really. I was just talking with Milo the other day and he mentioned you." Malis Delnaria
Tsuki's ears pricked up while he was in his room tending the bonsai. Smiling slightly as if recognizing an old tune, the deerk uke sat up and stretched out his back. He had been hunched over working on this bonsai for quite a while. Eyes closing for a moment, he reached high with his hands, wiggeling his pale fingers as he loostened the muscles in his shoulders. Realizing how dry his throat was, Tsuki decided it might be a good idea to streach his legs, get something to drink and find out if the melody was by who he though it might be. Gliding slowly down the stares the pale uke spotted the silver shounen and smiled. "Kirai-ne." he murmured lightly to himself.Enikil "Oh... well at least things are looking better!" The uke smiled at him, shiftign the things in his hands. HIs tial flicked a little as he looked off to the side for a moment. "I've.... been okay I guess...""hrmm.. Makes sense then..." He said the never dropped his gaze, never oen to back down really. " And no you haven't been okay! In the hospital is not catagorized as good Cecil" Teh raven turned hsi gaze on his friend. "Being sick is not good... then being Shacked up with that horse probably wasn't good either but I wont ask" he said, wathcing hsi friends cheek heat up all red. Steal Seki seemed lost in the melody, and so it was that he didn't realize that he was being watched by not one, but two sets of eyes. The first being that of his best friend, and the second that of a deep black panther who was peering with shimmering eyes from the darkest shadows in the room.
Singing softly, Seki swayed with the music, his fingers flying faster and faster, before with a discordant twanging sound, one of the cables in the piano let go, stopping the music suddenly. "Kuso..."Tomoe Yoru arched a brow at the curse and gave a soft silent chuckle. Malis Delnaria Listening to the soft music, Tsuki winced as the piano wire unleashed itself with a twang. Ears twitching towards the faint chuckle, the moon uke didn't even acknowledge the dark one's prescence even though he know the shadow was there. Even the house was not always safe and the pale deer did not want anything happening that might have been his fault. Wandering closer to Seki he layed a slender hand on the feline's own and a cheek against the silvery shoulder. "Gomen, Seki-san. Atashi wa enso suru kireimashta." Quicksilver the Archangel "I'm... sorry?" Kieran answered uncertaintly, raising a hand to scratch at his head in confusion. "I mean, yeah, I can agree that hospitilization is horrible! But... horse?" Enikil " Tobi..." Cecil said softly then looked over at Keiran with slightly pink cheeks. " I was staying with Ai when I fell ill... he was taking care of me before Tobias found where I was staying.." he said softly, fixing his glasses a little."Then this 'Ai" has a very hostile room mate..." the raven snorted a little and sipped his coffee. " I am jsut worried abotu him is all.. you understand?" he looked at the seme lightly. Steal Seki nodded and sighed. "Yes, I was actually getting relaxed. Much has happened in the last while, and it was nice to play piano again. Thank you for acknowledgeing it." He smiled at his best friend and gave a gentle purr. "It has been a while Tsuki, I have missed your company. Other than my Koibito, you are my only friend here." There was much that the feline wished to just blurt out, but he didn't want to do it and anger Kieran. "How have you been?"Sometimes to those that watch in darkness, the unspoken comes out louder than the spoken. Wary of the feline, the panther moved closer, tension building. Secrets can be deadly, and this one had some. If Seki was not careful, Yoru was going to make sure he kept away from Tsuki. Malis Delnaria "Watashi wa sore kara. Anata Jishin?" Tsuki was happy to be back in the company of friends. The visits to the temple had been getting longer... and to his secret gardens. While the latter was a pleasure for him the former got rather lonly, something the moon-deer hadn't considered quite as much as he used to. Lifting up the lid of the piano he looked inside at the network of thin cables. "Wakarimasen ne piano wa naoshimasu." He lightly touched the piano wires, careful not to dislodge anymore. Picking up the one that snapped, he realized the old, frayed end was not something that could be fixed, but had to be replaced. Steal Seki shook his head. "I have.. been fairly well. Much has happened, but there is much I can not talk about." He wanted to though, he wanted to speak to a friend, tell of what happened and tell of how it worked out. "I guess, I just found that my dislike of Lysander was... reinforced." He sighed and rubbed his face a bit. "No worries Tsuki, I know it needs to be replaced. This piano had been sitting here a long while before I started to play it." Waving one hand he tried to laugh off the heaviness he was feeling. "Kieran said he would stop drinking now. That is a good thing." He jumped from topic to topic, keeping away from the source of all. "Tsuki.. how does one become strong?"Secrets, deceptions... covering up. Yoru glared one hand fisting at his side. This seme was up to something. The last comment sealed it in his mind. Strength? To ask Tsuki of that was not something someone innocent would do. He growled low, starting to move. Quicksilver the Archangel "It sounds like a tough situation to judge based on what little I know." Kieran ran a hand through his purple hair in consideration, not really wanting to come between the two friends and not really wanting to pass judgment on something he knew nothing about. "I can understand being worried but... if Ai was taking good care of him, then maybe the worry was unjustified? On the other hand... hostile roommate? That might not be the best situation to be in."
Great circular logic there, eh? He decided on a new tactic, "Who wants some icecream?" Enikil "Oh ice cream would be great!" Cecil said brightly, happy to divert the conversation else where. he knew Tobias wouldn't give up on giving him hell but he expected as much from him. "I hope there is strawberry! Thats my favourite! I know Tobi likes coffee flavoured ice cream!" he pipped up, looking at his sleepy friend. The poor bird looked like he would fall asleep on his feet. "MM... sounds liek a plan" he spoke mildly, giving Ceicl the chance to winde down a little from his badgering.

Quicksilver the Archangel The seme breathed a sigh of relief - this was much more his element. "Hm... I'm pretty sure there's strawberry and coffee. But we can always go and make sure, right?"
He hopped up from the couch, careful to keep his tail pointed down in order not to appear threatening. "Race you to the kitchen?" Enikil Cecil giggled and nodded, excited that htings seemed a little lighter now. Keiran was a good change to Tobias's tense aura aroudn him right now.
" HA! Okay! When you say go?' he giggled a little more, excitment in his brown hues." I'll watch.." he smiled a tiny bit, stifling a yawn as he watched the others antics. Quicksilver the Archangel "Now, now~ Don't be a spoiled sport! We might just eat all the coffee icecream before you get there." He dared to fluff at the raven's hair before grinning at Cecil. "GO!"
Ah... life's simple joys. Running to the kitchen for non-intoxicating icecream confection. ... it was a start. Enikil Coal eyes narrowed and one even twitched when his hair was ruffled, the curly locks of standing up oddly in some areas. His feathers fluffed up a little and he heard Cecil giggle." I'd run now Keiran!" he laughed and ran when the other said go. Cecil broke into giggles as he heard the raven rant a little as he tired fix his hair. Quicksilver the Archangel The scorpian made a dash for the kitchen, unable to contain a chuckle at Tobias's mutterings. Everything seemed so wonderfully... normal. Normal was good. Enikil The little giraffe couldn't contain his giggles as he heard a flurry of feathers, which meant Tobias was running after them. This was so much fun! He hadn't doen soemthign liek this in so long! Tobias hurried after them, wanting to exact some sort of revenge for ruffling his hair, his hair! Of all things! evil! Quicksilver the Archangel Kieran grinned as the gleaming door of the refrigerator came into view, and he stretched out his arm. He wasn't going to lose if he could help it! Enikil Cecil was giggling to much to really be able to run that fast, though he wouldn't mind if he lost. Just the fact that he was having fun with friends agian was good enough for him. Malis Delnaria Listening the the slight babble, Tsuki got the feeling there was an undercurrent of something large going on but decided it was up to the feline when he wanted to talk about it. The uke nodded slightly as he mulled over what Seki was talking about until he got caught on the final question. Thinking for a moment the small deer tugged on a stand of dark hair. "Friend once told me, Strength come from heart and soul. Expressing such heart is like showing strength in spirit. See..." Tsuki's ears pricked up and he almost sensed the dark felines change in mood. Not understanding who it was directed towards the deer froze for a moment, thinking that he was back. The moon uke's muscles tensed, ready to overcome what might happen next. Steal Seki nodded as he listened, his whole attention fixed on the sound of his friend's voice and the wisdom being imparted. Then the flow of words ceased, and a sense of danger came over him. He stepped back as the source suddenly appeared. "GAHHHH HELLP!!" His yelp of fear sounded loudly in the house.Never would anyone harm Tsuki again! The panter lept, landing with a discordant sound on the piano, that gave way shattering under his weight as he faced the smaller feline. He let out a growl of anger eyes flashing dangerously as he looked at Seki. "Back off house cat!" He snapped in japanese. Quicksilver the Archangel The touch of cool metal. "VICTORY!"
Kieran couldn't help but laugh at himself, enjoying the light feel of sweat on his face and the pulse against his throat. What a rush! What a nice, light-hearted activity.
"Now... if the two of you settle in, I'll have some icecream for you in a minute. Strawberry and coffee, right?" Enikil Cecil caught up and leaned agiasnt the counter catchign his breath as he giggled, brushing back the long tips of his bangs. Oh that was so much fun! He hadn't been this out of breath thing him and AAI... wlel never mind that rest of that thought!
'Hah you win Kieran!" he giggled then nodded at the flavours he said. Tobias came in and moved to sit ont he coutner top to catch his breath, mocha cheeks a little flushed. he rarely ran anywhere, so he came to see he was a little out of shape. Malis Delnaria "Tomoe-san!!!" Tsuki leapt in front of Seki, his back towards the feline and facing the remains of the piano and a large black feline. "Yamerutte! Suru koto o Yameru!" He couldn't understand why the dark one would want to attack Seki-kun. "Seki-kun wa tomodachi. Onaji no tokubetsu na!" Stepping back from the ferocious face of the darker seme, Tsuki hoped he could get Tomoe to calm down enough to explain who Seki-kun was. Steal So much for strong and brave. Seki was in sheer terror, and very likely that terror was feeding the anger of the larger feline. To be more embarrasing, Seki was rather sure he had wet himself in fear. He sank to the floor sobbing and hugging himself. He wasn't sure if it was shock of what that was makeing him cry. "D-don't kill me..."Yoru growled and flicked his tail, his eyes still locked on what was now apparently a quivering ball of weakness. He sneered and looked at Tsuki. "Feh.. I don't trust him. He is lying and hiding something, he is shamefull and dishonest." He spat down on Seki, growling loudly. "I do not like him" he arched a brow at the words of Tsuki. "Special? How? He should be back with the one that I smell on him.. the one who I smelled on the other as well." Quicksilver the Archangel Kieran began humming again, swinging open the freezer door in order to dig for the frozen treats. He stopped, however, when two sounds assailed his ears, and he spun around and dashed from the kitchen without a second thought towards the place that he knew his lover played his music.
For those two sounds still echoed in his ears: his mate crying out for help... and then the sound of piano crashing. He only hoped... that when he arrived, his love would not be hurt. In his panic, he shouted, "SEKI! SEKI, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" Malis Delnaria
Tsuki was torn between going towards Tomoe to try and explain things and running over to Seki to help calm him down. Even Tomoe's outburst directed towards him had scared the living daylights out of the smaller deer. Wanting to help won out over anything else, the moon uke could not bear to see another in anguish. Running over to put him arms around Seki he murmered lightly in japanese a calming mantra, hoping that with one calm at least, the other might follow. "Tomoe will not kill, I promice." He looked towards the darker feling with a pleading look. The uke didn't know which way to turn, he tried to keep down the rising fear. He didn't want to stand against his koibito but he had promiced Seki-kun...Enikil Just as Cecil was about to say soemthing, he heard the crash and the scream of fear. the giraffe jumped a little and watched Kieran dash out of the kitchen. Looking at the raven, the two of t hem ran after the seme to see if everything wa sokay and if there was any way to help out. Tha sounds didn't come across as very good, he jsut hoped no one was hurt or anything, cuase it seemed that it was someone important to the scorpian. Steal There was trying to be strong, then there was fearing for your life. This time the latter won out and he hid his face, shakeing like a leaf. With each beat of his heart he was sure that the dark cat would pounce and eat him, then came a touch. Tsuki trying to calm him. It scared him more, it wasn;t ment to but it did, since with the touch of the deer came a louder snarl of anger. The dark one didn't like it.
Then came a sound that did reassure him. "KIERAN" Seki sobbed out the name of his lover, scrambling toward him, his wings dragging in fear.Yoru growled when Tsuki went to Seki rather than him. When the deer had said that the other was special, did he mean that he loved that house cat more than Tsuki loved him? He stepped close, one hand reaching in anger for the pale cat, but another voice froze him in mid motion, someone was coming. Quicksilver the Archangel When Kieran reached the scene, he honestly wasn't thinking too clearly. He could only know what he saw, and what he saw did not look good.
Seki and Tsuki cringing. Black stranger violently reaching towards them. His love... with wings dragging...
Normally, the seme was fairly laid back. Normally, he could keep his head. But not this time. The scorpian's red eyes narrowed, and he crossed the distance between himself and the silver feline before raising his tail to striking position, "What the ******** are you trying to do to my mate?!" Malis Delnaria As Seki dashed over towards Kieran, the deer uke was left alone for a moment. Things were getting out of hand fast. Looking between Tomoe, Seki and Kieran he did the only thing he could think of. "Tomoe! Seki-kun wa ichiban ii tomodachi desu! Seki-kun towa kankei ga nai. Kieran-sama wa Seki-kun no koibito desu. Seki-kun wa oniisan desu. Tasukete kurikaesu." The pale uke made sure to stand between Kieran and Tomore, not wanting things to get worse. He kept talking in japanese as fast as he could, explaining who everyone was and why they were there.

Enikil Tobias and Cecil rushe din the room jsut a little after Kieran and froze dead in their tracks. Tobias had no idea who all these people were, but could see thsi situationw as gettign bad real fast. "Stay back jsut in case Cecil.." he said softly, looking over at his friend. Cecil had only met the moon deer once int he allway when they were all helping Ai move out of his room to his new place. Noiase and Tsuki had goen to put his manga away. "TSuki? Kieran? What is goign on?" He asked, lookign fearfull for everyone. He'd honestly never seen Kieran so upset and nagery, but the cat seemed to be his mate he assumed. Steal Seki swallowed and reached up, brushing Kieran's leg before backing against a wall again. He didn't want to be in the way, but he was so relieved that his lover had come to his rescue. "K-Kieran.. he came out of no where.. attacked us.." He stammered and moved to pull Tsuki to safety, not wanting his best friend to be hurt by the insane cat.The moment Seki started to reach for Tsuki, Yoru growled and hissed again, his claws extending in anger. He yelled in japanese for the house cat to let the deer go, to get his hands off of Tsuki that instant. He was hearing what Tsuki had said, but was still too worked up to calm right down. He just wanted his ward back at his side again. He was after all a bodyguard. Quicksilver the Archangel The foreign language fell harshly on Kieran's ears, and he jerked Seki back towards him the moment he saw claws. He was not going to sit idlely by while some stranger was attacking his mate and his friend!
When he heard Cecil's question, his words were harsh, but only because of his concern, "Cecil, Tobias, make sure you keep back! There's no telling what this guy's going to do, and I can't watch out for you all, dammit!"
The blue seme rose quickly, setting his mate slightly to his side. His blood boiled as his tail shot out to rest near the panther's throat, but his words were like ice. "Someone had better tell him to settle down... or pretty soon, people are going to start to get hurt." Malis Delnaria Tsuki could see his words were having no affect on the darker feline. He felt rather than saw Seki-come towards him and turned when he felt Kieran pull the silver feline back. It wasn't until he saw the sharp tip of the scorpians tail get close to Tomoe that something snapped. "Tomoe!!!" The deer leaped up towards the scorpions tail and tried to knock it away, the folds of his kimono getting tangled in the tip. Turning towards Kieran and Seki his babble in japanese wasn't all in japanese anymore. "Watashi wa koibito! Don't hurt him! Kizutsukerumashita!!! Tomoe-kun wa... he's my LOVE!!! He's only trying to protect... DON'T HURT HIM!" The deer sank to the ground his kimono still tangled up, skin paler than normal. Enikil Tobias saw the wild actions, knowing that not one person in that group was thinking clearly. " Whoa Whoa Everyone calm the hell down!" The raven said, comming forward a litte and amung the group. "Just everyone I think this is a huge mis understanding! If everyone woudl jsut stop for a seceon and put away claws and tails and what not I think we can get past this and come to an understanding!" Tobias said in a stern but peaceful voice. " Both of you semes are upsettign you're mates! If you cared so damn much you'd listen to them!" he added. "Tobi.... Kieran said stay back..." he said as he remaiend back, a little freightened to what was goign on. Steal Seki swallowed and he looked around. It was dawning on him that this was the one that Tsuki had so shyly told him about a long time ago. His secret love that he had been keeping hidden. "K-Kieran.. I think.. I.. I was makeing him upset, cause Tsuki and I are good friends. He is just upset and jealous.. we need to back off.." He tugged lightly on Kieran's leg. The words he was hearing from the other stranger made him nod. "Please.. like the bird is saying.. please.. Im scared."Tomoe hissed and snarled more as the tail snagged against Tsuki. He gave a deep yawl and clawed at the clothing tryign to free his mate and get the poison apendage away from him. Since he didnt understand a word of english nor could he speak it, he started speaking to Tsuki, begging him now to back up and be with him. "Tsuki-chan, don't be hurt, it is.. it is a wound against me if you are. If he is special to you.. then I understand but.. please.. I know them not!" Quicksilver the Archangel Kieran gave a muffled curse, falling to the ground from the momentum of Tsuki's charge. Blood throbbed painfully in his ears, but words seeped through like quicksand. Seki wanted him to stop. Tobias wanted it to stop.
Claws too close to the tip of his tail also drew his attention, and he silently, carefully drew his tail away, slicing the fabric of the kimono as he did so but sure that he had not cut skin.
His hands clenched into fists, and he slammed his eyes shut for a moment to try and calm the war drums in his mind. Dammit... and how he felt like he needed a drink. Steal Seki wrapped his arms around Kieran as soon as the tail had been pulled away from Tsuki, his slender frame pressing against his mate's and a gentle soothing purr starting. "Thank you, thank you.. you came to help me.. you.. you.." He closed hsi own eyes still shakeing. "Love you soo much Kieran..." He ws just glad no one was hurt, he had been badly terrified but nothing was hurt but his pride.. and his pants.The tail was pulling away, Tsuki was not cut, he was fine.. things were calming and finally the panther was able to draw the deer into his arms, asking if him if he was fine, if he was not hurt. He had no understanding of what had happened other than that he had seen the other cat so close to his mate, heard the lies, the omissions and felt the nervousness of one that was always on guard. So much so fast, and he had reacted wrongly. This was his fault. "Gomen nasai.." Malis Delnaria Tsuki turned and burried his face into the dark wing of the feline. "Ne... Anata wa... waruimasen..." Turning to Kieran and Seki-kun, the deer tried to get up and failed for the moment, instead crouching down on the floor in a low bow. The sleve of the kimono had been cut to shreds, hanging off his sholder but the pale skin undernieth was unmarked. "Kieran-sama, Seki-kun. Gomenasai. I am sorry. I should have told about Tomoe-kun sooner. He came to protect. Not suppost to... Someone else... after us." His voiced failed for a moment as he tried to get the story out. There had been deception among all for too long. Enikil The raven sighed heavily as the situation simmered and disipated into somethign that was less of a mess. Putting a hand to his forehead, hen then rubbed both hands over his sleep deprived eyes, hoping the rings aroudn them weren't too bad yet. If his words had not cut t hrough the group, who knew how bad this could have gotten, he didn't even want to imagen it. "Is everyone alright? Cecil asked meekly, still standing at a safe distance like Kieran had told him earlier. The whole ordeal had been frightening to the poor Giraffe, so many peopel getting caught up in an ugly situation. Quicksilver the Archangel Tense muscles gradually relaxed under Seki's touch, and the seme wrapped his arms around his shaking lover in an effort to soothe him, some of his normal good humor returning. "Silly Seki... haven't you figured out by now just how much I love you too?" He placed a soft kiss on his lover's brow, nuzzling against silken strands of hair and letting the gentle purring chase out the cry for help from his ears. For that moment, all he wanted to do was reassure himself that his mate was unharmed.
Cecil's question captured his attention next, and he gave a short nod, "Everyone seems to be fine, thanks to Tobias and Tsuki." With his anger gone, the blue seme felt... hollow, like the casing of a bullet after the firing of a gun. Still, he could not ignore the events around him, and he felt the tiniest pang of regret, which would undoubtably grow stronger later, at drawing the giraffee and the raven into this mess in the first place.
Finally, weary red eyes made their way towards the moon uke, drifting over his pale skin to make doubly certain that he hadn't left any marks. Satisfied, he drew a deep breath and asked, "Tsuki... just calm down... and tell us what's going on?" Steal For a moment all that was in the world was the strong arms around him. Seki took a deep breath and settled himself against Kieran, glad that no one had pointed out that his pale pants were.. dark in a certain place. He used his wings to try and hide that fact a bit more as he glanced up. "I'm glad you love me, because I never stopped loving you, and never will." He smiled and calmed down, glanceing first at the new pair that had come with Kieran, friends likely, that he had never met before, before looking at the panther. "Uhh yeah.. Tsuki.. im curious too."Tomoe Yoru was still kneeling beside Tsuki, his leathery wings mantled behind him as he looked at the strangers, his hands palm down on the ground though, to show that he was not going to attack. "Gomen ne.. Tsuki-chan." He was terribly upset that he had caused this stress for the little deer. Malis Delnaria Tsuki looked around nervously, he wasn't used to being in the center of attention. Glancing up at the dark feline he placed a slender hand on his arm as if to say that it was ok. Taking a deep breath he decided that they were good friends of his, they diserved to know, no matter what the cost was. "Watashi... I come from temple, quite far away. I am..." The deer paused, trying to find the right word. "servent of temple. Tomoe-kun is ninja, was training. Met in Bonsai garden." A small smile lit up his face as he remembered the day. "I watch from distance while the ninja train. Tomoe-kun came to garden. Stoped and talked, not suppost to." The deer shook his head sadly. "Not worthy to talk with esteemed ninja, even apprentice. Tomoe-kun visit often, attract attention of other apprentice. Aya..." At this point Tsuki's voice broke slightly and grew softer. "Aya say that he hurt Tomoe-kun if he see me again." The moon uke couldn't bare to tell about the night Aya and Tomoe had 'practiced' Tomoe had bearly escaped with his life. "I tried to leave... to protect Tomoe-kun. Couldn't say what Aya had said, tried to push Tomoe-kun away." Tears had appeared at the corners of his eyes as he re-lived the fear that the smal deer had spend the days with. "I was afraid to see Tomoe-kun, afraid that he would be hurt. I left... went very long distance. Came here, made friends, only stay at nearby temple to take care of garden. Sometimes it hard to not be servant." Tsuki took a deep breath and looked back up at Tomoe with a look of adoration. "Tomoe-kun find me, left temple to look. Tsuki didn't know for long time but then Aya found me, he attacked me and Tomoe-kun saved me. He got hurt very bad. I didn't want him to stay incase Aya came back. Tomoe-kun refused, come stay with me but stay hidden. He say he is my guardian but I am just servent, not worth such honour." Tsuki shook his head and fell silent. Enikil The raven listened carefully to the deer's story, though it was none of his buisness since he didn't know him or the winged panther. It was quite a story, they had been through so much, it made him feel like he'd lived such a clsoed life. Tobias was caught off guard at such a moving tale of woe and undoubtably love.
"But Tsuki... Tomoe seems to think you are worthy... isn't that all that matters?" The raven asked, hoping he hadn't spoken out of turn. Quicksilver the Archangel The seme listened intently to his friend's account in broken English, and a small frown crossed his features. "I understand all of that, actually. It's a terrible thing, for someone to try and come between you and your love. I'm sorry that it's been so hard for the two of you, and I'm happy that you're finally able, now, to be together. I even understand his protective nature - hell, I think any mate would watch over you after what the two of you have gone through."
"However, that doesn't explain why he attacked Seki at all; Seki's your friend, not an enemy. Seki didn't attack you or insult you, I'm certain - and it seems as though he's impossible to control. He can't just randomly attack people that he doesn't like! Someone will get hurt!" Steal Seki listened too, remembering the bits that Tsuki had told him. He smiled a little and nodded at his own mate's words. "Why did he come after me, I was just playing the piano." He looked at the wreckage aware that he would not be able to play it again now. It wasn't a matter of fixing a broken cable. He sighed and rubbed his head, thinking of what he had gone through with Kieran, and how hard that had been. Their story was much worse.The seme stayed where he was, his head bowed and his hands on the ground. He was not able to comment on anything as he was not sure what was being said. He just knew that it was all very serious now. He hoped he had not gotten Tsuki in any trouble with hsi actions.

Malis Delnaria Tsuki shook his head slightly seeing the feline glance towards the now destroyed piano. "There is piano at temple store room. I don't know why it there but I can ask to use to replace this piano." Hopefully that would start to make things right. The moon uke closed his eyes and tried to think about what had been going on while they had been sitting at the piano. "I don't know why he attacked. Maybe because we were so close..." He tried to think of another time he had been close to another shounen while Tomoe was around. The moon uke turned towards Tomoe and asked him "Seki-kun wa kogeki sutte doshite?" Enikil "I'm good with fixing things so let me knwo if I can do anything" Tobias added, trying to offer soem kidn of help. lookign at what was once the panio, he knew there was no way fro him to fix it. Cecil had ben very quiet the whole time, finally steppign forward. Tomoe kind of scared him, so eh remaiend a little behind the raven jsut in case he broke out again. Quicksilver the Archangel "Well, I'd like to know why - and I feel I have the right to know." Kieran hated having to be the pusher of conflict; if he could have his way, he'd be back in the kitchen giving Tobias and Cecil their promised icecream. And adding a dash of rum to his own - but he had given that part up, and he resolved to continue to do so.
"I don't want to have to worry that he'll decide to attack Seki again, or anyone else for that matter. I'm not a guardian, not like he is... but I will defend others against him if I must." Steal Seki pressed closer to Kieran still purring as he tried to calm his lover down. He wrapped his slender arms around the scorpian and looked at the panther. He did seem upset with what he had done... or at least it looked like he did. It was so hard to tell with that mask over his face. He could only assume and hope that Tsuki knew him well enough.Yoru lifted his eyes to Tsuki and spoke in soft Japanese. "You were close, and he was lying, holding things back. I knew not what they were and it worried me. He continued to even when you were honest with him.. I reacted. He smells of the one that was with the other you spent time of.. Betrayal is not to be taken lightly." He pointed at Kieran "How was I to know if betray of love is part of their relation.. I do not approve of that around you Tsuki." Malis Delnaria Tsuki murmured back "Uragiru o wacarimashta" He wanted to tell the seme what he knew but thought it best to let it go for now. Reassuring the dark feline Tsuki turned back towards Seki, Kieran and the others. "He smelt something about you that was unsetteling. He was unfamiliar, never met you before and though it was of you. Smell maybe... " At that point the deer paused and thought for a moment before a piece or two clicked into place. There was more going on that he previously knew about but the deer didn't want to stur anything else up, especially as things seemed to be going well. "Maybe reminding of Aya. I don't know if Aya has found us again, it is very worrying." Enikil "Hrmm..." Tobias said softly when the deer roughtly explained, this could cause a problem. If the panther was always this highstrung, it could pose a threat to some who aren't really caught into this mess that the two were in. He knew for sure he didn't like the idea of him lurkign int he shadows. Quicksilver the Archangel The entire explanation seemed inadequate, at least to Kieran. So his lover had almost been maimed because of a mistake? And what was to stop the panther from making a similiar one in the future? Not just with the J-rock Shounen, but with any unsuspecting Shounen? Not knowing English, how would anyone be able to try and reason with him?
"Tsuki, I'm sorry. I hope this Aya guy hasn't found you - I really do. I don't want anything bad to happen to you; we're friends. But a mistake in smell is still no excuse for what Tomoe's done, and it offers no reassurance, at least not to me. Frankly, the only one he should have a problem with is this Aya character. It's not up to him to be some sort of vigilante. I'm going to have to ask that you tell him to stay away from Seki - which I would tell him myself if I thought he'd understand me."
Taking a breath, he sighed, "Really I'd feel safer for all of us if he wasn't around at all, but I don't have the right to ask him to leave. Maybe sit down and have a talk with him? No one here is going to let something bad happen to you, but in return we've got to know that we're safe. You see what I mean? We can't live together under one roof until we reach an understanding of some sort." Malis Delnaria "Sumimasen, Watashi wa... I'm very sory Kieran-sama. That is my fault. In trying to keep everything hidden, I kept who you all were hidden from him. I..." The deer closed his eyes for a moment "I hoped that no one would say anything that bring Aya here. It is my mistake. If Tomoe-kun knew who you were then he would not attack. I... didn't expect that to happen." Trying to make things right the deer stood and made a low formal bow. "Hajimemashite, Watashi no namae wa Tsukishika desuka." Turning to indicate the large feline he introduced him, "Anata no namae wa Yoru Tomoe deshita." Turning towards the dark seme he then made another smaller bow. "Tomoe-sama, Anata no namae wa Seki deshita. Anata wa Kieran deshita. Cecil deshita... um..." The Deer stalled at the last uke, he hadn't been introuduced yet and hadn't picked up a name. He explained that quickly before turning back and re-doing introductions in english for the benefit of the others. "I shall introduce Tomoe to everyone in house, then there be no worry about attack. Just please..." The uke's face turned a little despirate, "Please don't mention us to anyone." Enikil Tobias raise a hand when the other stalled on himself, knowing that may pose as a problem to the to dark Seme. "Tobias, I am a friend of Milo's and Cecil's" he introduced hismelf calmly, stifling a small yawn afterwards. He didn't want to show as a threat, cuase he knew that Seme could pluck him like a christmas turkey. "Introducing him to everyoen I think would be good... maybe help him with soem English too... it will help maybe?" Cecil suggested tentivly, a nervous shy ring to his voice still. Quicksilver the Archangel The scorpian felt... frustrated. He could see how afraid Tsuki was, see how desperate the deer was to set things right. But... how was this going to fix anything? The apology helped to sooth him, though, and he tried to forget about the wrong done to his mate and concentrate on how to help his friend now.
He waited until Tobias and Cecil finished speaking before nodding. "English lessons would definatly be a good start. Then all of us could communicate with him, at least. As for... revealing your presence. Well, I never knew it was supposed to be a secret, but I don't think I've ever spoken of you to anyone that hadn't already met you. I'll try and be more careful about that in the future." Steal Seki bit his lip as he listened to everyone and he nodded. "I thought everyone around here knew you as well Tsuki, I am sorry if that means I was a bit free with where you were." He looked at the panther and winced. "He is a bit stern, I can see why to a point but..." He flushed and hugged Kieran's arm. "Can't you get him to stop stareing at everyone, its a little unnerving." Seki couldn't help but notice that each time he glanced toward the dark feline he was being stared right back at.Tomoe listened to Tsuki while trying to get the jist of what everyone was saying. He could tell they were not pleased with his actions anymore than he was with his own. He had brought shame on Tsuki, and in doing so had lost face for himself. This would take a lot of work to fix. All he could really do at the moment was wait and see what Tsuki wished of him. Still he could not stop watching the others, trying to understand them. Malis Delnaria
The little deer brightened up with the lightening of the atmosphere. "Arigatou gosaimasu. Thank you very much. It is not me who is to be hidden, but us. My only hope is that one day we may stand together in the light." Tsuki made another low bow before turning back to Tomoe. With a light smile he touched the felines arm. "Seki-kun wa nihonjin desuka. He helped me learn English, if it is ok, he can help you learn as well as I." There was hope fluttering in the moon uke's heart. Maybe if Aya came this time, there would be others as well, maybe then he would learn the error of his ways. Living with the other shounen had taught the pale deer quite a lot, one lesson he took to heart was that just because one was a servant didn't mean he was completely worthless.Enikil Cecil shivered a little when the large dark seme stared, it was extreamly unnerving. Being stared at in such a way wasn't soemthing he cared for, sure Ai stared every now and then but that was for totally different reasons for sure. "Y-yes... please no staring like that... ""he's not going to eat you Cecil.. well not with Tsuki here o" he tried to joke a little but knew he was falling short. The raven sighed and curled up his wings, longing to go to bed. Quicksilver the Archangel The pluto seme's eyes narrowed when Seki became nervous again, and he shifted the arm that his lover hugged in order to drape it around the J-rock Shounen's shoulders in a protective manner. He, at least, wasn't afraid of Tomoe - unnerved, suspicious, but not afraid.
"Your secret is safe with me, Tsuki, and if I ever find that Aya character lurking about, I'll give you the heads up. No one should have to live in fear."
Hearing Cecil's stuttered speech and Tobias's sarcasm, he turned back to look at them with an apologetic smile. "Say... how about we go back to the kitchen and get that icecream I owe you both? Everything seems to be settled for the most part, and I'd hate to get the reputation of not being a Shounen of my word!"
Then, he couldn't resist giving a light nuzzle to his lover's furred cheek, murmuring, "You can come too, love, if you want." In truth, the blue seme rather hoped the feline would join him - if for no other reason then to quell the fluttering in his stomach that came whenever he thought about leaving his lover alone. Steal Icecream, the common unifying bond of all shounen it seemed. Seki smiled at the thought of a nice bowl of cherry icecream and he nodded. "I would like some too, it has been a long time since I had cherry." He flushed at the nuzzling and purred softly, resisting the urge to cling. Lately his mate smelled of cleanness and not the poisons he used to drink. It was so nice to be able to be close to him without his eyes watering.Tomoe was still kneeling on the floor. He knew that he had done some great wrong, that he had attacked the wrong beings and for that his geisha had lost face. He wished to redeem Tsuki, but had no real idea of what these westerners would want. Malis Delnaria Tsuki smiled at the suggestion, he remembered the first time he had tried icecream and wanted to show Tomoe-kun the delicious cold-stuffs. Turning to the dark feline he placed a pale hand on the seme's chest and wispered "Daijobu. Ai shiteru." He smiled again, hoping the night-cat would sense the peace that had fallen. The deer uke's wish for his love to shine through seemed to be comming true and he hugged the muscled arm in a burst of emotion. "Tomoe-kun, 'Hello, my name is Tomoe Yoru' wa igirisu desu. Konnichiwa. Watashi no namae wa Tomoe Yoru desu." He wanted the feline to learn English so that Tomoe could enjoy the company of his friends. Turning towards Kieran and the rest of them he enunciated for them, "Konnichiwa. Wa-ta-shi no na-ma-e wa ... desu."
