ѦɌῚѮζ ღ ╸ ╹ ╺ ｡◕‿◕｡ ╸ ╹ ╺ ღ Ariel pulled his hair back into tight braid; something he hadn't done in a while. Smiling and striking a pose full of cute confidence, he bounced back into his room to grab his dark blue and black messenger bag. The one with all the buttons of the best bands and silly shows. Snatching his car keys and a list of books on a yellow pad off the telephone table by the front door, he bounced his way out.
It took a minute for the car to start on account of Ariel fumbling with his fingers over the keys. When it did finally come to a start he was further delayed by everyone else who had the great idea of going somewhere. When he was able to back up out of his parking spot and make his way through the cement maze and onto the road, he could just barley be heard singing along to the radio. Though you wouldn't really wanna hear him for his voice was certainly not the best you'd ever hear. He knew it, but he didn't care, he was having to much fun. "Haba da do wa do baba~ Heeey baaebaae~! " Making up words for the ones he didn't know. Shorty through another song he came up to where it is he needed to be. Barnes and Noble. He wasn't one to usually go to a book store, but he decided he needed to finally get the books he'd been saying he'd get for too long now. Why not get caught up with what's going on in the modern literature world? Well, cause most of it's crap, buuut why not make sure for yourself. Pulling into a sort of close to the entrance spot, he hopped out and into the store. Looking around the new/modern fiction section for 'The Hunger Games'. It wasn't that hard to find, very popular now. Picking up a few more books from that section he made his way to the travel section in hopes of finding something he didn't have about Italy.

Drashi was enjoying a rare day off, something that made him want to enjoy the outside world... no life-support machines, no tears and scared faces, no painted walls of rainbows to help lift the mood of the young patients..... sure, he loved his jobs, loved helping the kids and seeing them grow stronger and stronger until they smiled again... but sometimes it was just so sad. The stories and journey's they took enough to pull on the heartstrings of even the most cold hearted. Sometimes, you just had to have a break.
As he weaved in an out of traffic on his motorcycle he worked his way to the bookstore. Despite it being his day off he had a touch of business to take care of. Parking up he kicked the break pedal, turned off the ignition and removed his helmet. His long black hair was tied as normal in several places, the long silky mass reaching half way down his back, still due to the helmet it looked a little frizzy. Raising a hand he roughly smoothed it before heading to the store. The moment he did his eyes scanned for the guy he usually worked with, of course they ended up landing on a cute guy by the travel books.... forcing his gaze away he found someone who may be able to help.
"Hey. I'm here to pick up the books for the burn unit." He smiled politely, not really enjoying the attention he was getting from the giggling girls near the latest 'Hunger games' display. Yep, he felt uncomfortable. Sometimes he wanted to stamp a big sign on his head saying 'gay'. Keeping his attention focused on the store employee he found himself saying, "Martin texted me saying that you had a box of donations for us." He took out his ID and flashed it, it wasn't anything special, simply his hospital ID card saying clearly who he was and what he did. Drashi. Nurse. Children's Burns Unit. This book store had always been very generous to the suite, donating books every now and then and accepting donations from it's customers of any unwanted books. Sure, some weren't in the best of condition... but that really didn't matter. Drashi always loved the way their little faces lit up when they saw all the new delights.
"Ah sure.... one mo." The guy murmured before scurrying off to the back. Suddenly with nothing to do, Drashi found himself leaning on the counter while he waited, his attention firmly away from the girls who seemed to finally be getting the message and looking away. He supposed he looked a sight, black leathers with a blue dragon symbol sprawled across the back and side of the thing... a custom design just like his bike. In truth his bike was probably one of Drashi's few indulgences in life, being on the thing he could truly feel free. Like flying.
Of course, now that he had nothing to do but wait his eyes found their way back to the guy in the travel section. He made no effort to hide his focus, the guy was cute... even the way his hair was tied in a tight braid, if anything that revealed the guys good looks more. It was enough to make Drashi wonder what it would be like to spill those tamed locks over his hand... his chest.... ok! STOP! Chastising himself he forced his gaze away once more and to the floor. Fantastic, he was turned on, and given how tight his leathers were he was darn sure it wouldn't stay hidden for long, turning and leaning towards the counter in an effort to tamper his emotions he tried to think of as many none sexy things as possible.
Trains. Knives. Buses. Yellow. Rocks. Cats. Trees. Juice.
It seemed to work, but now Drashi found himself frowning... .what was he? Some bloody adolescent teen with a perma-boner?! What the hell!

ѦɌῚѮζ ღ ╸ ╹ ╺ ｡◕‿◕｡ ╸ ╹ ╺ ღ Ariel huffed and puffed as he found to his dismay there was nothing new. He hadn't been in there in months and they still hadn't gotten anything in! This was now becoming frustrating. Standing there thinking for a minute he finally decided he'd hopped his angry bum over to the counter and ask about new shipments. Though first, he'd look for something on Wales. He'd never payed to much attention to them and he wanted something new.
Putting the stack of books down on the ground Ariel ran his blue painted index finger across the spines of books; somewhat to keep track, but mostly because he enjoyed the feeling the spine gives. If he closed his eyes he could almost feel the back of a new boy at an old club. The lights, the sweat, the adrenaline, the sex -- ok lets stop there and save it for the weekend when he could feel the real thing.
Finding a few books that struck as interesting he flipped through them quickly before deciding he was gonna get them. Still planning on complaining though. I mean really? After all this time and nothing new. Placing the new books on the top of the stack he picked them all up and headed to the front desk.
A bit more than halfway there he finally looked up from the books so he wouldn't bump into anyone and his eyes made contact with a leathered a**. The torso, of the owner of said bum, was leaning against the counter and seemed not to have noticed him yet. He looked around to see if anyone else had, his face glowing pink from embarrassment. No one had, phew, maybe he wouldn't be called an freak today. Taking a deep breathe he continued walking, setting his stack o' knowledge on the counter, and separating them into smaller stacks. Still side-glancing at the guy next to him. Those pant must've been customized or just amazingly rare. They where made well and the dragon was just something else!
Ariel started to lean back to take another look at what first caught his attention. A small smirk forming on his lips. Best part about a guy, gotta be his arse. " " ' ' ღ ╸ ╹ ╺ ｡◕‿◕｡ ╸ ╹ ╺ ღ

Drashi couldn't help but feel as if more eyes were upon him, and soon as the cutey from the travel section came towards the counter with his books he couldn't help but wonder if he had been right. The main problem with being gay was that not everyone around you was the same... and while some men were open to experiment and change, others would punch you just for considering them doing anything 'wrong'.... who in the world decided to label it wrong? Whatever.....
Of course, it didn't take long for Drashi to catch the cutey checking out his arse in his peripheral vision, something that made him smile. Without thinking he found the words, "Like what you see?" Falling from his lips, the tone was clear, nothing threatening or disgusted about it. Especially as he turned his eyes with interest to the man who had captured his attention only moments earlier. He openly allowed his gaze to wander, taking in the guy in more detail now he was closer. He was definitely even better looking up close and personal.
Drashi didn't want the guy to buckle under his scrutiny however and so his eyes found the pile of books he was planning to buy. A 'hunger game' book and a travel book about... Wales? Interesting combination, but travelling internally wasn't strange, especially given the current economy. It was possible that Drashi had mistaken interest in his clothes for interest in him.... he had done it once or twice before, it was part of the reason why he kept the question rather open ended, that way it could refer to his outfit, him, or both. It wasn't often he was quite this forward, usually one to keep himself to himself.... the fewer people you grew attached to, the fewer people could leave you one day. A sad way to look at things, but ever since he had lost his parents and sister, it had been one he lived by. Still.... this guy had caught his interest, something else that made him deadly for Drashi... he had a thing about acting on what interested him.
Invidia Ochii 3am should be made illegal! *Dies a little* My son decided to wake up AGAIN.... *cries*

ѦɌῚѮζ ღ ╸ ╹ ╺ ｡◕‿◕｡ ╸ ╹ ╺ ღ Ariels' smile grew when he heard the question, though his face turned a bright shade of red as well. Oh, no he's gotta think he was a freak for checking him out. He started to fidget a bit and play with the books. "Yes, actually...I don't know where you got your pants, but they are beautiful. I haven't seen work like that in a while...and the arse they cover is quite nice as well." He add the last part quietly and couldn't help but smile as he did.There wasn't any weirdness in the voice asking the question, so maybe it was an invitation to flirt. He could easily be gay.
He wanted to say something more, but couldn't get the words out. Ariel had no idea how to flirt outside a club. He was in a book store, with a cute guy next to him, and he was starting to blubber. It was just a few minutes of awkward silence before the kid came back with boxes. Those had nothing to with Ariel so they must've been for the cute blue eyed male figure next to him. "Soo..where did you get them?" Was that really all he could think to say? Ariel, you can't do crap without bright lights and loud music! This wasn't going as well as he'd hoped and with him feeling like an awkward penguin it might not get any further. He's a social butterfly with women and most men, but there was something about this one that seemed to make Ariel feel put on spot. Something he was only good with when he asked for it.

Well, didn't those words just make him grin like a Cheshire cat. Both because he loved his leathers, and he rather enjoyed this cutey complimenting him.... even if he did seem shy about it. Drashi was quite used to listening to quiet whispered voices so his ears picked up every word.
He was about to respond when he saw the employee bring out the box of books. From the blush on the guys face next to him Drashi was going to assume the guy was the same as him, or at least open to a little experimentation.... either way it meant a conversation with the guy wouldn't be a bad idea. Drashi never usually just slept with anyone, and although he tended to keep his distance he did usually form at least a casual relationship. He had such a thing with the manager of this store actually. Martin was a booty call, of course that went both ways, and each had the understanding that it could be rejected at any time.... in fact, Drashi was pretty sure the guy was in a stable relationship at the moment with some cute blonde..... woopie for him. He had been so focused on his own thoughts that Drashi nearly missed the next words the hot guy next to him said.
"Soo.... where did you get them?"
He smiled and leaned a little towards him, just to test the waters. If the guy flinched or backed away Drashi would know he was barking up the wrong tree. "How about we go grab a coffee and I tell you?" He smiled softly, not wanting to scare the guy off. And it was only then that Drashi realised that he desperately wanted the guy to say yes.
"Here are the books. Oh, and Martin said something about texting you this weekend. Not sure what it was about though." The guy looked puzzled, which lead Drashi to only two conclusions... either Martin just wanted to grab a drink, like they sometimes did, or he was after a booty call.... Turning all business again he accepted the precious cargo, he knew Martin hadn't exactly stepped out of the closet to the whole world and so Drashi wasn't going to be the one to reveal the guys secrets. Through the opening of the box he could already see a variety of different types and genre, hard paged, floppy, picture, pop up.... yep, the kids were going to love these when he dropped them off on his next work day. He nodded to the guy who had handed them to him, "Thanks. Much appreciated. The kids are going to love them." He turned to look at the cutey once more before heading to the door, of course, what he did was not walk and keep on going but instead wait just outside the door. Drashi was a private person, and didn't really enjoy having his conversations overheard.... especially not by the employee of what could probably be considered his best friend.
Through the glass he watched the guy get served, since Drashi could only see the back of his head he had no idea about anything.... was he pissed that Drashi had just walked out? Probably.... who wouldn't be? Still, he waited.
Not too long later he watched at the guy left the store. "So.... that drink? You in, or not?" Was all he said, holding the box of books to his chest, almost like a shield. Now that he was no longer leaning on the counter he noticed just how different they were in height, his six foot easily overshadowing the guys what.... five'five? five'seven? Drashi was crap at guessing that kind of thing. Yet for some reason, the lack of height only served to make the guy appear cuter... at least in Drashi's eyes. All he could do now was stand there, clutching his box of books like an idiot as he waited.
Invidia Ochii I suppose, there was a time when I used to love the early hours of the morning.... but those days have passed I am afraid smile He is 8 months old. Was born just over two months early (long story) so the hospital only class him as a 6 month old.

ѦɌῚѮζ ღ ╸ ╹ ╺ ｡◕‿◕｡ ╸ ╹ ╺ ღ When he saw the big grin on the others face Ariel felt like this could actually turn out ok. His smile grew, and the pink staining across his face faded from the embarrassment. This could work. He could have a normal gay friend he didn't meet in a club!
Ariels' lavender eyes grew a bit when the stranger leaned in. This was a surprising turn, but it could work. Especially with the way his bangs fell around his face. It framed his features so nicely and the color really brought out his eyes and almost made it look like his skin was glowing. He must've been so soft to touch..Ariel was so wrapped up in how beautiful he thought the man looked he completely missed the question, instead his hand moving on it's own decided he wanted to actually know how he felt. Caressing one of his bangs with his thumb and index finger. It was as soft as it looked.
Ariel quickly let go when the guy behind the counter gave the black haired a box of books. What could he be getting those for? Martin? Who's Martin? Aw, man this isn't just some game they play is it? He couldn't help but worry about being led on again. People always assume with gays they have perfect relationships, but we have douchbags too, and they get a kick out of leading others on. Blarhg.
He decided to just stay quite until the boy could help him, but he couldn't help watch as the other walked off and out of the door. A small sigh escaping him. Did he just ruin something? Again. Time to shake this off, put on a smile and read up about Wales and then maybe that new age book, but probably not.
"This be all for you today?" Ariel nodded and handed him his card. As the book were being 'delicately' put into bags he kept thinking about the way the others hair felt and like he had missed something. A look or maybe a question, but he supposed it was too late to know now. Saying a small thank you and have a good day to the boy behind the counter he made his way to the door. Ariel jumped out of his thoughts and nearly out of his skin when he heard a voice from behind him. "Oh my goodness! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" He asked spinning around not exactly angry or annoyed just surprised. Even more surprised when he saw who the voice belonged to. Boy, was he tall. Ariel smiled and nodded. "I don't wanna be rude and I do wanna grab a drink with you..but when did you ask me that?" He looked up at him with a worried puzzled expression. So that's what he missed! He was asked out and he was too busy paying attention to something else he didn't even hear him. He felt like an idiot and decided the best thing to do was to wait for an angry response and put down.

Ok, so that comment actually had Drashi blushing a little himself. First a compliment on his arse, then secondly a compliment on his hair.... Drashi wasn't exactly used to getting them, but when you kept yourself to yourself that was bound to happen.
"A pleasure Ariel." He said, almost 'purring' the name as it left his lips, "If memory serves me correct... Ariel is the Angel of Truth. Seem's fitting, the angel part at least." He smiled, "I have yet to meet anyone who didn't lie." Nope, even children lied... adults lied about how their children got burnt.... it was a vicious circle at times, and one that Drashi was rather fed up with. Some of the accidents that happened simply shouldn't have... who left the kettle near the edge of the unit? Who left a child unattended in a kitchen? Surely it was common sense not to...? Then again, accidents would always happen... for that was the very nature of word.
Putting his hands back on the box as it started to slip he smiled and nodded softly at the enquiry, unable to stop the soft chuckle that escaped his lips as the guys seemed to get excited and misread the door sign.... it was good to know he wasn't the only one who did that. Ignoring it, and acting as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened he replied to the enquiry. "Well my original request was coffee... so when I said drink that was what I meant, it's too early in the day for alcohol.... don't you think?"
Bowing his head a little in thanks he accepted the open door as he left for the outside world, he could already see his bike, the striking silver and blue master piece that was his pride and joy standing proud near the curb. "Let me just put these in my bike seat." He wandered towards it, unlocked the thing and popped it open before slipping the books in one after the other so they were neat and tidy. As his nimble hands worked he found himself speaking to Ariel, "So... where you want to go?" Folding the box he slipped it in after the books before locking them into place and leaning on his bike as he waited for a reply. "I've got to admit I don't really get out in the day much... so I have no idea what's good and what's not." He smiled, doing his best to be charming before being forced to push his hair out of his eyes as the wind blew it into his eyes... touching it brought back the guys compliment, and with that Drashi lost eye contact as he tried to resist the urge to blush again. Man... twice in like two minutes was NOT a good start.
Invidia Ochii Not a worry smile I don't mind short XD hehe. As long as I have something to get my teeth into. Awwww, well thanks smile *blushes* can't believe how many have said that since I joined this guild... been RPing for about 10 years and never heard that much before, so thanks. It's appreciated! *huggles* You're not half bad yourself! Hehhee, having fun. As for my kidlets, I think they do love me smile they both love snuggling into me on the sofa watching Disney movies... always good.

Ariel smile turned into a big goofy grin at the angel compliment. He was enjoying the pure and innocent attention. It was nice. No low lives, no ruffies, no arse slapping. "That is true, but I was actually named after the fairy Ariel from the Shakespearean play The Tempest" He said smiling at the memory of all the birthdays spent at the theater with his big sister. Almost every year if one was playing they were there.
Holding his bags by the bottom for fear of the books falling out, he followed Drashi to his bike, all the while his eyes practically glued to his pants with the thought of 'where did they come from' running through his head. Whether he was thinking about the pants or his arse the world may never know. Yeah, I do think so..I'm not out much during the day either, but there is this really quaint coffee house I usually go to when I am. Best coffee I've ever had..."
He trailed off as they neared his bike. Standing there he just kind of stared at it.
"Marry me." He said. Looking at the bike then to Drashi then to the bike again. It was very beautiful. He'd always loved motorcycles and trikes but could never get himself to get on one. He smiled as the other pushed his hair out of his face. Shifting the weight of the bags he made the comment of needing to put them in his car and started to wander down a few parking spots to the blue jeep with the gay pride bumper sticker. Yep he was that gay guy.
Trying to put the bags on top of the car, then failing, so very short sometimes, he put them on the ground so he could fumble over his finger to get his keys and unlock the back, Unlocking it, he put them on the floor, well really tossed them onto the floor. He loved books, but never really was careful with them.

"A fairy." He chimed, thinking that that did indeed suit the guy better than an angel. "I think it strangely suits you. Never watched the Tempest, more of a Romeo and Juliet or Antony and Cleopatra kind of guy.... great love stories... soft spot." He grinned, knowing that his words probably revealed far too much about himself.
"Marry me." He found himself blinking at that, returning his focus completely to the guy. What in the world.... of course it only took him a moment to realise what the guy meant, he was indulging on the bike.... it was strange how many had a similar reaction to the thing. "I'm afraid my baby is taken...." He teased, running his hand over the cold metal. "Could give you a ride some time if you wanted... don't have a spare helmet with me today though." He winked playfully. Kicking himself off the ground to follow after the guy as he wandered towards his.... jeep.... with a gay pride sticker, seems he wasn't barking up the wrong tree after all. He watched the guy struggle with the bag, clearly finding his lack of height a little annoying... of course it had Drashi cringing when he tossed it on the floor in order to get out his keys.
Hoping he wouldn't get in the way he leaned down and picked up the books, wiping down the bag and inspecting the books with a quick peek. No damage had been done. Waiting for the guy to unlock the car he held out the books. "Not what I would have guess you drove..." He chuckled, "Was expecting something...." He paused for a moment, contemplating his word choice, "...something a little flashier, and smaller.... no offence." He really didn't mean anything by it, was a harmless comment rather than an insult. Still, now that he saw the guy next to the thing he supposed it was perfect... it was clear Ariel had a huge personality... and a huge car to go with it.
Once that task was done he turned, "So... shall we?" He would have offered his elbow, the ways of a gentleman ingrained into him despite being passed between family members after his parents deaths.... but he didn't, not wanting to 'rush' anything. After all, he had only just met the guy... and bar an obvious physical attraction he didn't know much about him.
He was happy to let Ariel lead the way to the cafe. Putting his hands in his pockets despite the tight fit.
Invidia Ochii Yeah... since I was 15... man I feel old XD hehehe. I am actually in the process of writting a novel smile slow and steady though, not in any rush to finish hehehe. Just enjoying it... as always. Writing calms me down. Overactive imagination I am afraid. =D Awww..... I still snuggle up with my Mum or Dad from time to time when I go visit with the kids. Never too big! smile

Ariel smiled and was about to make the comment of 'Well, I meant you' but he thought better of it. Might not be a good idea. They did just meet after all. He smiled really big at the invitation for the ride.
"If you can talk me into getting on that beautiful thing you can take me where ever!" He giggled a bit in knowing he probably wouldn't be able to talk himself into getting on it.
His giggle tuned into a laugh at the car comment. "Hahaha, I know what you mean! I always thought I'd have something much smaller, but this one just kinda spoke to me, y'know?" He shook his head slightly as his mind traveled through his memories to the day he bought the car. He was 17, officially on his own and out with his big sister for a day of shopping for things you didn't really need, but wanted. Walking through the side of the parking lot with medium and smaller cars nothing really caught his eye. Not until they started just wondering around talking like children. Then he saw it. Bright blue jeep. Perfect! They went in halvesies and enjoyed it till the bitter end.
"We shall!"He said skipping up to Drashi and in front of him, he motioned for him to come. Walking with his hands behind him he was almost skipping. He hadn't been out with someone like this in way too long. The coffee house was just a few blocks away and slightly tucked away on a side street. Not hard to get to or find, but you did have to have an open mind to find it.

"If you can talk me into getting on that beautiful thing you can take me where ever!" Drashi quirked an eyebrow at that, was Ariel afraid of bikes? Perhaps it would be an interesting challenge to see if he could get the guy straddled across his baby? He grinned a little at the thought, even as he chastised himself for even contemplating a future.... after all, he knew next to nothing about this guy, let alone if they would actually hit it off or not. Still, so far so good.
"Hahaha, I know what you mean! I always thought I'd have something much smaller, but this one just kinda spoke to me, y'know?" Drashi nodded empathetically.
"I completely understand." He chimed, following a rather happy and eccentric Ariel as he seemed to bounce along the path towards the coffee shop. The front of the place wasn't exactly what Drashi would have been drawn to had he simply walked passed the place, but he knew better than most to never judge a book by it's cover. Adding a little speed to his step he overtook the guy so he could reach the door first, propping it open for Ariel. After all, it was only polite to return the favour, even if he had been carrying a box of books at the time.
Slipping in after Ariel, Drashi allowed his eyes to look around. Seemed homely. "Not bad. So, what's good here?" He asked walking towards the counter he assumed was to order from. He had to admit that he liked the fact that there weren't many people here, though at the same time felt a little uncomfortable that everyone had turned to look at the pair of them as soon as they had walked in... maybe he shouldn't have sported his leathers? Ah well, it was the conversation starter that had been the catalyst to all this after all.
Looking up at the board he took a moment to think about what he wanted, "Black coffee, two sugars please." His eyes then wandered to the cakes on display... they all looked delicious, and he had always had a soft spot for such things. "And a slice of..... fudge." He smiled over at the elderly gentleman who was patiently taking his order. "That would be wonderful for me, thanks." Turning to look at Ariel he asked, "What do you want? My treat." And with that he took out his wallet prepared to pay the bill, it wasn't like it would be expensive either way, but Drashi had always liked paying for others... and he hated being paid for. Double standards perhaps but after being passed around he had started to recent feeling like he owed anyone anything. Big issue as far as he was concerned.
Invidia Ochii Thanks for the PM, very interesting snippets of information. Hehehe.

Ariel just kinda kept talking as they made their way to the coffee house. Mostly randoms nothings came out, he didn't really care if Drashi was listening, cause if something became important he'd make sure he was listening. As they approached the front door he was cut off as it was opened for him. He felt like a princes again. "Thank you~." He said smiling.
"Not bad. So, what's good here?"
Ariel laughed out an 'everything!' to the question. Spinning around in delight, he hadn't been there in a while and he could feel the stares at first, but they were soon shrugged off. Ariel watched as his, hopefully, new friend ordered and couldn't help but giggle at how he eyed the cakes. "I'll take a small french press, please. And thank you for the drink." He said lightly squeezing Drashi's arm in thank you. It's something he picked up from a friend and he enjoyed showing affection to people so it was a nice subtle, non-gay threatening way to do that. Well, most of the time it was.
Ariel lead Drashi over to a back room with one of the biggest windows in the building. It was one of those sun rooms with artist tables and a couch. He hung out here a lot when she was working. She wouldn't have admitted it, but she loved to feel the sun on her when she was here, so did he. Lots of good things happened here. "They'll bring our drinks to us, wanna sit somewhere? You pick." He asked his hands playing with each other behind him and a small smile caressing his lips.
