Welcome to Gaia! ::

His brow furrowed as he pulled his phone out of his pocket, flipping it open to gaze at the text. He had parted ways with Lucien about an hour ago after returning from the Animal Kingdom; completely exhausted and in need of a shower as well as a bit of quiet time to himself to think about everything. Everything.

It had taken reading the text once, then twice, before he could make sense of it. The grammar was too good to be Demetri's and he knew Cordelia already and the number... The number was Lysander's.

You know it's still called stalking people even if you're just messaging them on Facebook. She's usually not much for talking to creepers. *smirk*

You mean you aren't gay?

That was the first thing he sent through without actually pausing to think about it, and then when everything else had settled in (a minute or two later), her responded again.

Wait a minute. Something about what you're saying isn't quite adding up. She wasn't wearing any shoes when any of us saw her today... And I don't think Luc's uploaded any pictures of her.

Another message sent, followed by another pause.

Where are you?

Get out of her room before Luc finds you in there and kills you.

He was certain that the other young man would be able to hear his voice along with his words. He was surprised that he wasn't yelling them instead of typing them, although he had almost done so. Instead he set his phone down, opening the door to the room he was sharing with Demetri in order to peer out into the hall, waiting for Lysander to listen to him and get the hell out of Cordelia's room.

"You're still a boy in her room and he's the closest thing she's got to a brother. Last I checked, he also had a pretty nasty right hook." Alright, it had been an accident that Luc had hit him and it hadn't hurt nearly as much as he'd made it seem, but... "Will you just get out of there."

He huffed as he stepped out of his room a bit further so that he could snatch Lysander's arm, yanking the other boy firmly into the hall. "What are you doing here?"

"I was out with him. We were at Animal Kingdom." He murmured, feeling his face heat the moment Lysander's lips brushed against his own. His nose wrinkled slightly at the admittance that he was blushing, arm slipping around the other young man so that he could drag him back towards his own room before they got caught in the hall.

"I told you before that I'd been thinking of heading out of town for a bit. You can't exactly say no to someone like Dem when they're going on about the 'happiest place on earth'. And you can't tell me you came all the way down here just to tell me that you were upset I didn't tell you..."

"It wasn't my trip to invite you along on. It was Dem's trip. I got invited as sort of a..." Babysitter. "... Chaperon type; to keep him out of trouble and all. I don't know if he invited Cordelia or if he just told her about it so she wouldn't worry and then she invited herself, but... Then she invited Lucien, and..."

He shook his head slowly, pausing to glance at the other for a moment before shifting back. "You always find something to do, Lys. When have you ever been without a plan? Or a date or something?" His brow furrowed slightly as he brushed his fingers back through his hair.

"She's Cordelia. Do you really think anyone's going to tell her 'no' when she gets it in her mind to do something?" He managed a smirk accompanied by a soft snort as he shook his head slowly, trying to ignore the feel of the other boy's fingertips tugging at fabric for the moment; needing to keep his head on straight.

"Technically they've got their own rooms so it's not so much like they're on vacation with Dem and I as much as it is they just happen to be vacationing at the same place at the same time..." It was a horrible explanation; absolutely horrible. "Hadn't thought about it, really." Honesty. "Guess I just assumed you did. I mean, with prom and all... Not trying to offend you, but you seem like the open sort. Are you telling me you're not?"
