Rivener glanced again at the note he'd scribbled. The adress he'd gotten from calling Chloe. He looked up at the streetsign; this was it. He wandered down the sidewalk looking at door numbers, until he found the one he was searching for.
He pocketed the note, took out his digital camera, and took a picture of the door. He wanted to document this, have memories he could see more clearly than just in his mind. This was where Lazarus lived. He didn't know if he'd ever come by again.
Riv put the camera away, to be used later for more pictures. He felt nervous; he wondered if Laz would slam the door in his face, or set him on fire even! A small ball constricted his throat. His feelings would be very hurt if that happened, but he supposed he understood. After all, Laz hated him.
Apprehensive, Rivener floated up the stairs to the door, and rang the doorbell. He crossed his arms to keep his hands from fidgeting with his ribbon, and he waited.

Ever since the lab blew up, Lazarus and Kyou had moved into Tsu's abnormally large apartment for temporary shelter. It seemed like Kyou haven't forgave him for what he did to the lab yet. It's understandable though, looking at the terrible things that Lazarus caused, it wouldn't be surprising if Kyou hated him for the rest of his life.
It had been a few days now ever since Kyou locked himself in his room, probably working on some new inventions or researching. Tsu and Zavier was not around too, probably out buying groceries or something. Lazarus was staring moodily out a window when the doorbell rang.
Realizing that he was the only one able to answer the door right now, he turned away from the window and headed towards the door. When he opened the door and saw who was outside, his expression swiftly turned into that of a frowned, annoyed look. "Oh, it's you." Being the blunt person that is, he said it in a very annoyed tone. He looked around, trying to spot Rivener's guardian Aphismet, but apparently Riv came alone.
But now Lazarus felt a surge of power, a feeling of superiority over the younger Frei, since he's a Sigel now and taller than Rivener. He leaned his shoulder on the doorframe and crossed his arms in front of him. "What are you doing here?"

Rivener stared. One of his hands lifted of its own accord, wanting to touch those abs, but he stopped himself quickly, lacing his fingers together so they would behave. He tried to speak quite a few times before sound finally agreed to come out of his throat.
"Wh-... what happened to you? You're... You're HOT." Gah, this wasn't starting well. "Uh, I mean, nevermind. I, uh... I came to see you, but it took me a while to have the guts to actually do it. It's about what happened in the winter."
Riv turned his eyes down. Looking directly at Laz made his heart race like crazy, especially with that new body. Best if he kept his eyes averted. "Anyway, I wanted to say thank you. You saved my life. I'd like to repay you somehow, so I thought of the thing you might like best; never seeing me again. So, that's what I'm going to do. I'll never bug you again ever."
Riv crossed his arms, and sighed. "So, basically, I came to say Thanks, and Goodbye."

Lazarus's frown tightened as Rivener complimented his looks, it feels weird being called 'hot' by a guy. But his frown slowly relaxed and changed into a look of mild shock instead as Rivener continued speaking, his crossed arms relaxed a little as well.
Never to see him again. The phrase repeated itself in his head for a few times. That really sounded too good to be true to Lazarus, but at the same time he felt something is amiss. Weighing the words that Rivener spoke, and judging by his expressions, it seemed like Rivener is serious about this.
"Goodbye? What do you mean? Are you going somewhere?" the words just blurted out of his mouth without much thought. Lazarus gave himself a mental slap for sounding like he don't want Rivener to go. But does he? He admitted that he don't really like Rivener, but somehow he don't really hate him either, at least this less touchy Rivener in front of him.

Rivener sighed and glanced up slightly, arching an eyebrow. Could Laz really not understand what Rivener was saying? Hope that the older Sigel might actually want to keep Riv around didn't even enter his mind, strangely. "I'm going home, yeah. I just mean Goodbye as in: I won't speak or look at you again. Doesn't that make you happy?"
Riv's arms uncrossed and he placed his fists on his "sides", tilting his head at Laz for one last long look. He was itching to find out how Laz might have grown like that, but he didn't want to bother the other... Laz was the oldest Raevan, the first, the one by which everyone else was measured. He had been the first Rivener met. He had saved Rivener's life. He was everything Riv ever wanted to be! He was Riv's hero! And this would be the last time he'd see him.
A small ball constricted his throat, and he smiled sadly. "Well, I'm gonna go now. Bye!" He turned to start floating down the stairs.

As Rivener turned around with his back to Lazarus as he floated down the stairs, Lazarus darted forwards for an inch or two, one hand raised slightly. "W..." but the word never did left his mouth. Why was he stopping Rivener from leaving? And why was Rivener all serious and determined about staying away from Lazarus? The question boggled Lazarus's mind. The only things that Lazarus comprehended was - Rivener thanked him for saving his life, and in return he'll stay away from Lazarus. A pang of guilt hit Lazarus then. Maybe he shouldn't treat Rivener like a pest back then, maybe he isn't so bad after all.
"Ri... Rivener!!" he called down the stairs before Rivener totally went out of sight. "See you around!" he's not very sure about his choice of word, but it just seemed like the correct thing to say then.

Rivener paused as he floated down, and he looked over his shoulder, surprised. Lazarus... He wanted to see him again sometime? Why else would he say that? A slow smile spread on Riv's lips. It was a soft expression, a rare one for the usually manipulative Scorpion. He nodded.
"O-okay... See you around, Lazarus."
He floated away, happy. It was a little sad still, as he came to terms with the fact that he would not have Laz "that way"... maybe they might still have a chance to be friends? Overall, he was glad he'd come today.
