11:54:05 Aro its been a few months since the curse holiday, and the party at the Meth Lab, he had seen Mila and the others every now and again since he had left the party early, and now its been the dreadful morning of February 14th, aka Valentines day. With a sigh Aro looked upon the colorful decor that hung once more against the Great Hall, Hearts of ever color seemed to pour themselves in ever corner he had walked around. With students buzzing about the festivities he looked about and sighed, why should e have to put up with anything, he was single and not one guy, or girl seemed to come his way since Christmas. He groaned and thought of Calyope who ditched him for her random hook up, the Siren male Damon who embarrassed him so badly he had to leave and with that note Aro walked to his favorite window seat and took his spot, most of the time he was anywhere he could look out the window and just imagine different things, right now he was imagine a certain boy who shall be nameless.
11:59:08 Damon had this way with people, and he seem to had been busy after the holidays. He had some studies to do, since it seem the professors had clearly wanted him out this year. A light sigh came to his lips as this holiday came around again. It was due to no one enjoyed the Siren to be with them. Cause they felt used, but it was clear that Damon wanted someone to call his own. That didn't fear his abilities cause of what he was, running his fingers through his hair. He was dressed in a white dress shirt, it was unbutton mostly showing off his chest. Rather then leather pants, he was in thight blue jeans curving to his frame. A smile came to his lips as he walked around. It was then he came to noticed Aro within a window, "Well if it isn't the Sexy Seer." yes he had called Aro sexy, and he meant it actually. Walking toward him, he gave another charming smile. "Hey there." as he slide his hands slightly into his pockets of his pants. Standing not to far away from him.
12:05:40 Aro turned his head gently to see the Siren Damon walk up to him and speak before rolling his eyes gently seeing the male, it wasn't that Aro didn't like seeing Damon it was just the unlike the other students he met, Sirens used him as a toy, Damon was seemingly different not entirely he had made him look a foul at the Meth Lab that one night, and sadly Damon didn't even try to speak to him after wards, he asked Damon to talk and he waited, but he didn't show. Now here he was open shirt and blue jeans, and he was smiling at Aro, some nerve? "Hey." Aro spoke looking from Damon's eyes to the window pretending it was abit more interesting then the Sirens charm and beauty.
12:13:03 Damon noticed the eye roll, and yeah he had left Aro sitting alone that night. But Damon hadn't stay at the party either for that matter cause he wasn't found anywhere else. "Your pissed at me I take it.." he knew right off, and he would shake his head and stepping toward him. "Listen, Aro.. It wasn't like I didn't want to talk to you. Its just the professors have been getting onto me. I failed last year cause of my ways, I didn't even stay at the party that night. I had assignments I had to get done. I can't fail again." sighing as he would move to run his right hand up through his hair. "But I'm.... Sorry." it was hard for him to even apologize to someone. Cause it wasn't really in his nature to do so, even with his british accent of his. "But I wanted to wish you a happy Valentine's day." watching him as he seem to look out the window more. It was just odd for someone to ignore his charms.
12:33:55 Aro listen to Damon's words and looked out the window sighing. "When I was in my first year here at Hex, I was completely new to other students abilities and powers, your probably thinking how since I probably grew up with gifted parents right?" he turned his steel grey eye to Damon and looked at him. "Well the truth is, I don't know my parents, there dead or alive who knows, but they placed me up for adoption. I grew up waiting and one day people came, thats where I met my normal boring parents Adam and Cassey Clarke along with they two year old son Butch, yes Butch. Butch the Butch is what I called him because unlike most men looking tough he looked like a female who was a butch bitch. One of those females who looked more man then female, sadly he didn't look either when he grew up." Aro spoke softly turning abit and dangled his feet over the edge of the seat as he continued. "It was seemingly okay for a long time until my 11th birthday was about to happen, I was at school and I had my first vision (C)
12:34:04 [Aro] it was to fast for me to remember what it was about, but I told Adam and Cassey and they brought me to a doctor who asked me so many things and afterwards deemed me insane. We had regular meetings with Doctor Quack and before one meeting I had a vision where his light was about to fall onto him, I told him this...and well tackled him out of the way as it was, but got blamed." Aro's voice had gotten loud confident person to that of someone who was completely nervous. "He told my parents I was unsafe, that I was dangerous to them and to myself, so they had me locked up in a mental institution for a year giving me pills and dulling my visions, I was released after year and placed back into my old school where I was taunted far worse and beat up to the point the bullies there had used a knife on me and scarred my body up. Mocking me that if I 'saw' stuff, and that I should have it seen that coming. When I got home that night, my parents kicked me out and I lived on the streets or random hotels that a (C)
12:34:13 [Aro] 11 year old could afford and tried to use my 'Gift' to hurt those who hurt me, this had resulted in getting a visit from the Hex Institute's Headmaster Luthor who had sensed me and my latent Seer abilities and offered he a place at Hex Institute." he spoke in a dead whisper as he sat there in front of Damon his face shadowed by his hair, his hands clung to the wood so tightly to the wood it turned his knuckle white. "I cam here...and seen there were others with Gift, who used Ether...who seemed happy with their gifts, Shirts, Faes. and others, but a group of Sirens I met helped me but made me believe I was special with there own abilities and they got me out of the school grounds and beat me up..." Aro finally stopped speaking as he just waited for the laughing to begin. (E)
12:53:44 Damon was watching him closely, as his sea green and ocean blue eyes would come to focus upon him. The words that linger from Aro's lips, came to his mind as he was taken in what was going on. How the pain had went through him, for a moment he had said nothing of course. It was when he started speaking about Headmaster Luthor that came to focus his mind more. Now that it deal with the school himelf, it was terrible as he was listening. A sigh touhed his lips, "I'm sorry that happen to you Aro, not all Siren's are like that. At least I know I'm not. I don't hurt people on purpose, and I honestly didn't mean to hurt you emotional that day at the Christmas party that night." Sliding his hands from his pockets, and since he was sure that Aro had sleeves to his shirts. He placed his hands lightly against his arms. Kneel lightly down to Aro's level to meet his eyes. "If I would of known you back then, I would of gotten onto those that hurt you. The sirens were fools back then." his hands hadn
12:53:58 Damon -- hadn't left Aro's arms at that moment. He was watching him.
13:02:29 Aro looked at Damon and smiled slightly before he shook his head gently and slowly pieced himself back together in front of the other male, his hurt being replaced by that of his slightly cold demeanor and the eyes turned into that of sad back to a glaring set of knives ready to piece into you with just a look, but though he changed from fragile to hard in an instant he smiled lightly and nodded abit, deep down hie was still abit hurt, even to this day. "Thank you Damon." he spoke gently placing his hand upon Damons and squeezed it gently as he stood up from his spot. "I am...sorry for not giving you the chance before, about thinking you Sirens were all alike and used your abilities to control how guys and girls felt about them." he spoke softly looking down to the man and couldn't help but blush softly. As Aro waved his hand gently he sighed. "This Valentine's day stuff is depressing, care to...talk somewhere else?"
13:08:06 Damon watching him as he noticed the slight smile, it was refreshing now to at least see a smile upon the guy's lips. Even to feel that his hands were now upon his own, there was an ease about him. "Welcome, Aro." speaking softly. Soon he would move to stand up to his full height so that he wasn't looked down upon at that moment. "Some of us, use our abilities to help emotions show more. Or to see what's in other's heart, as it lust or actually love. It depends on the control on who we are." speaking softly. He would noticed the blush with a smile. He brought his hand up, to lightly caress Aro's cheek. "Sure where would you like to talk? Lead the way." as he caress Aro's cheek once more. Before he would lower his hand, and move to walk with him.
13:12:55 Aro smiled gently feeling the male touch his cheek softly and began to blush more as she spoke softly and Aro couldn't help but listen and nod, Aro was surprisingly enjoying his time with Damn, which was beginning to surprise him abit, he was normally anti-social yet this Siren seemed to pass right through his defenses. "Hm, I really don't know this school well, sadly I think you might know it way better then me. So you pick." he spoke softly looking this time up to the male and noticed Damon had been smiling down at him which made him blush abit more, hopefully not noticeable
13:16:31 Damon had noticed the smile more from Aro, and how his cheeks became red with blush. Was he embaressed? Damon would be curious of such as well, and moving to walk with him. "Well we could head out to the fields if you like. To be away from the school, or perhaps head to either your house or mine. Just hang out in the common rooms. Get to know one another if you like." he was curious to ask. Glancing down toward him, noticing he was getting more red within the face. A light chuckle touched his lips. "You don't get much attention I take it, your rather cute when you blush, Aro." another smile teasing his lips as he continued walking.
13:24:30 Aro shoot Damon with a daggered shift of his eyes and shrugged gently walking forward abit before turning to smile back at Damon. "No, I really don't if you haven't noticed I am technically nearly always alone, besides from the Meth Labs, or random conversing with fellow students I don't really do well with what everyone calls friends. My last set...turned out to be pricks." Was Aro talking about the Sirens that used him? Or his life before Hex? Who knew. With a shrug he smiled and shifted his head abit. "The Commons of either house are nosy in the morning...how about the field, preferble not to close to the woods, the wone where its not all gross and snow,." he said with a grin waiting for Damon to walk with him.
13:30:45 Damon would noticed the slight change in his glance for a moment, and would smirk a bit. "Yeah some people are pricks." shrugging a bit, and would move to walk toward the stairs to head out of the school with Aro a moment. "Could head near the lake if you want, the tables out that way are clear of snow." with a smile. Thinking a moment as he would laugh a bit. "Commons only nosy when they want to get into your business." teasing a bit. With another smirk coming to his lips once more, "So was there a certain thing you wanted to talk about during the Christmas party. I was curious. asking. To moving slide his hand down, and take Aro's if he let him of course. To gentle hold his hand with his fingers intertwined with his own.
13:35:50 Aro shook his head gently wondering abit and then felt Damon take his hand gently and before Aro could pull away he felt his own fingers intertwine with Damon's, his skin felt warm compared to his seemingly cold body and he looked up and smiled abit. "Not entirely was just going to try and get to know you more before you had ditched me." he spoke with a smile and walked with the other male down towards the lake and stopped as the came into view, it seemed they were being used, and by none other then those guys who had used around in his first year, the Siren bullies. As he stood there he felt his fingers curl up against Damons hand and he took a step back. "Damon...we should go..." Aro spoke softly as he watched the two strong looking Sirens talk on the table, and another leaning against a tree.
13:40:10 Damon was walking with Aro, listening to him at the moment as he wrinkle his nose slightly. "As I said, I didn't mean to ditch you on purpose. And I'm sorry for that." soon as he turn to look forward. Felt the tension to feel Aro grip his hand more. Those mix match eyes would soon come to focus upon those near the tables. Looking toward Aro he knew right then he didn't want to be there. "The fields then rather then here." to turn with Aro, but he would whisper. "If they try to mess with us, I won't back down. If that happens I want you to get a good distances away." it showed he didn't want Aro hurt at that time either. Glancing over his shoulder toward the other Sirens. He knew that he was older then them, and could take them. But he wouldn't fight on purpose, no he would be responsible and leave the area first before taken on a fight with the goons there.
13:46:44 Aro shook his head gently looking to the male and smiled very gently nodding his head and turned around looking at the male and smiled abit more hearing his words. "Thank you.....I am sorry most people would get into a fight with them, your not so thank you." he sighed gently feeling abit bad for Damon because he had to put up with Aro himself. With a sigh he squeezed the males hand once more. "I am sorry..." he spoke gently
13:49:53 Damon smiling toward him he would shake his head. "I only fight if I have to." speaking lightly as he would move toward the field. At least to the one that wasn't near the woods, as Aro had asked him before of course. Feeling the squeeze against his hand, he would gaze down upon Aro slightly. "Don't be sorry, cause I'm not. I'm around you, so I'm respectiing your wishes." speaking gently toward him. As he lean over pressing his lips gently against Aro's cheek as he had done before at that Christmas Party.
13:56:40 Aro stopped and listened before head felt Damon's lips against his cheek as he was speaking and turned his face to look at him and then blushed. "Trust me...if I wanted to to, I would have asked you to kick those guys asses because I wanted someone to even might have asked Jake next time I say him." he spoke gently before he leaned up to kiss Damons cheek softly, feeling his cheek burn once more from being red. Aro leaned away and walked fastly away looking back a few seconds and waited for Damon to follow as he stared at him abit and then couldn't help but smile. It seemed Aro might have his friend friend....on Valentines day it seemed.
14:01:40 Damon stopped for the moment as he would listen to him. A smile coming over his lips, "Just shows your the bigger person. Even if you get friends to beat the shit out of them. They deserve it for being idiots." pausing a moment as he would feel the kiss along his cheek from Aro. Curious what he fould in such a taste of his skin. But he ignored the idea for the moment. And smield once more toward him. Moving to follow Aro, as he would lightly laugh. "My my Aro, getting cuter each time you blush." winking toward Aro as well. Moving to watch up with Aro with a playful nudge against him.
14:07:53 Aro smiled abit as Damon nudged him, he was enjoying the outside, especially with the Siren, Damon was handsome he knew that much for a fact, he could tell he was strong from his looks even if he was a Siren, I doubt many got him mad because they were intimidating by his build. With a smile Aro turned around abit and waited until being nudged he looked up to the Siren and grinned before bending down and picked up a small amount of cold slush and flicked it right at Damons face laughing as he did so and he ran ahead abit looking back and giggled more thinking of just how cute the man seemed to be with his gaping mouth hung open still abit shocked from what he had just done.
22:15:01 Damon hadn't expect Aro to throw cold slush within his face, the ice dripped down his skin as he would shiver. Huffing softly, as he would smile as well. "Is that how you like to play?" he cooed in that accent of his. Soon lean down picking up some of the cold slush within his hand, and would run after Aro within that moment. A smirk touching his lips as he was gaining ground with his long legs. Soon he would move to get that cold slush, down the back of Aro's shirt if he could, as he liked the cold just as much of the next person. But he wanted to get Aro back with the slush to the face.
22:21:03 Aro was laughing out right now as he ran joking patches of ice that seemed to get in his way to gain any real distance, his eyes adverting back to see if the other male had chased him and let out a soft Meep as he noticed Damon was now pretty much right behind him with a huge pile of cold wet slush. As Aro tried to wiggle abit away he felt Damons hands try to put it down his back and that made Aro in turn shiver wiggling abit and then moved away fast revealing a scar that he kept hidden on his back. "Stop...cold...Damon." Aro spoke and looked back at the siren as he was giggling and teeth chattering at once.
22:26:20 Damon had moved quickly as he got to get some cold slush down Aro's shirt of course. And would noticed the scar of course, but he would not ask about it. Knowing it was from his past, and the rest of the slush had left his hand as well. Moving to wrap his arms around Aro, to keep him warm at that moment. "Aw now I can't keep you cold, but it does give me a chance to make you warm." for he had wrap his arms from behind Aro. Leaning his head down a bit, down next to Aro's right side of his face. Looking toward his eyes with his own mix matched gaze. A smile coming to his lips. "your cute you know that."
22:32:30 Aro felt himself blush as the other male wrapped his arms around him, Aro couldn't help but lean in gently due to him being cold and yes, he would admit he liked the heat of the Siren, he was handsome, strong and most of all warm, compared to Aro's normal freezing body temperatures. As Damon had looked down at him he couldn't help but blush abit his hair covering his sky blue eye but he felt good just standing there in arms embrace. "I am not that cute Damon, compared to most guys in this school I am less then average." Aro spoke looking to the Siren and blushed abit seeing his gaze full on now.
22:40:09 Damon could feel him leaning against his frame, and could tell that Aro was rather cold for the moment. A smile teasing his lips, and looking to meet Aro's gaze. Noticing him blushing more as he was looking into his eyes. "Well in my opinion, you are cute. And that won't change at all." and he was perhaps daring to be so bold. Soon he would press his lips soft against Aro's own for a moment. To steal a kiss perhaps, or if allowed to have such a kiss. Letting it linger, as his lips would move to gentle suck against his lower lip. Before he would part the kiss, winking toward him. To rest his arms around Aro.
22:50:37 Aro blinked in shock as Damon had leaned in, and felt his lips gently press along his which made him blushs more but instead of pulling away Aro leaned into it. Aro's lips were shaking and he was confident in himself as he gently kissed the male back, his face was red and he was still cold suprising behind his back seemed to be a wall of hard muscle he was leaning against, no he Aro was still cold, but he was warming up nicely and sadly slowly. With a few moments passing Damon pulled away and bite his lower lip and this made Aro blush even more before placing his head against Damon chest letting the man hold him. "You...really think so?" Aro asked abit shyly.
[Suki] The warmth of the sun was creeping through the window toward her bed, those soft brown eyes flickering open and close a moment. Mmming as she was in a tangle mess of the sheets. Only within a tank-top and panties, in the ways that she slept. Stretching as she would brush her fingers through her hair. "Mmm morning already." she cooed. As she would turn over to lay upon her stomach a moment, thinking a bit. The party was going to need a fund somehow. So she would move to untangle herself from the sheet, and moved to head toward the bathroom and turning on the hot shower. The heat of the water begun to run, and she had stripped down. Getting under the water naked, and the heat of the water felt so great against her skin. The sight of her fairy wings tattoo show upon her back. Washing her hair, and body with a sweet scent of shampoo and bodywash. It felt good to relax within the water again. Once she was rinsed off, she would coo a bit. There was a time she thought of singing in the shower, however there was no time for this. Turning off the water, and wrapping a towel around her frame. She had picked up her clothing and head back to her dorm room. Tossing her cloting into a hamper, and moving to get dressed into something else. Finding matching pair of pink lace bra and panties. Putting them on, she would soon find a soft silk red halter. Slipping it on, it would show her mid-section. The flat of her stomach could be seen as she slide up a black schoolish like skirt that had a small loop ring belt to it. It wasn't long before then, she had white knee high stockings on. Ankle strapped high heels gave her a few more inches onto her height.. Once she was dressed, she had blow dry her hair as it naturally curled. And placed on a black velvet choker with a red 'S' upon it. Perhaps it was just for her name. Once she did a light make up on her, she would head out. She had a booth that would be waiting for her, 'Kiss for a $1' it was cut of course. And she would be heading down the steps, the booth was near the Great Hall, and a smile teased her lips. There was a few looks her way, as she had a vanilla lip gloss on. A giggle came to her lips, as she thought to how many people would like this idea for girls or guys to run them. Once she made it down there, she came to sit upon the stool that was behind the booth. Legs smoothly crossing right over left, the skirt resting against her thighs. Glancing to who might take the first chance.
Misetto sat up in his bed, looking over at the window. "M-m-more than one b-b-billion miles away, y-y-yet it has p-p-perfect aim into my eye s-s-sockets..." He rubbed his eyes and felt around his nightstand for his glasses. Placing them onto his nose and adjusting them, he squinted and looked around his room. Misetto stood up and walked over to his drawer, pulled out clothes and threw them on. Looking in the mirror, he flicked his collar and smoothed out his clothes. Misetto slid on some shoes and waltzed out the door, nearly tripping on everything lying on his floor. Moving down the stairs into the Great Hall and making his way to get breakfeast. He turned around the corner and noticed the Kiss for a $1 stand. He ended up walking past a couple times, changing direction as he always does, and decided to eat first, go back to his room to clean up a little and maybe return if he was feeling brave enough.
[Seth] For the first time in six years at the Institute, Seth hadn't slept in for the dismal Singles Awareness day he was familiar in avoiding like the plague. Putting together the Hearty Party was one of the best decisions he had made. It wasn't just for the couples in the school to be celebrated, or to spread the spirit of love through the place. It was also for himself. He boosted in confidence, made him feel he was doing some special. He had woken up at the first break of dawn already, and was wide awake through the early hours of the morning. He wasn't dressed for the holiday, at least not yet. He already had his outfit set out for tonight. Down in the great hall, people were frantically running about. Girls were more.. giddy than usual, if the term was just. Various cards, notes and other sentimental objects were being handed out to those each other thought was worth a valentine. The face of the Hearty Party, however, was off on his own. A couple of guys had offered to help him get the piano up onto the stage, it's black surface bouncing the light off it and added a little shine to the rise off to the side of the hall. Long tables were still there, as the hall wasn't closed off for decoration until the mid afternoon rolled around. Garbed in simple gray shirt that clung to his slender physique, black jeans, and sandals for footwear (because he was just that rad), Seth didn't feel the need to stand out while he worked. He did anyway, as oblivious as he was. The past couple months since his daring Christmas party welcoming had brought him to a lot of others thoughts. He didn't realize just how much of a valentine he was this year. Maybe it was for putting this all together. Maybe it was for his dreadlocks that tied back neatly behind his head today until later. Who knew? No, he didn't indulge a lot of people with a warm sight, unless they really dug a dude in sandals. Instead, he was making music in the hall with his acoustic guitar infront of him, and a pal from Magnus he had befriended beside him, sporting curtained hair and dressed for the chill of the coldest point of spring ahead. Some strumming, a tap of his foot, and idle chatter between microphones eventually brought music to the festive hall. He wasn't too worried whether people wanted to pay attention or not, but he had to go through the set-list made up for him by those wanting to dedicate songs to their lovers. That sign up sheet for requests was still tucked off to the side, along with several open boxes that held complimentary, free ties and croisages for either gender. They were colour coded for fun, to aid in dressing for the occasion later tonight. Wearing red would signify that one had already happily found their valentine. Wearing white proudly announced your availability, and wearing pink catered to the flexible folks that were looking for love in more than one place. A fairly simple system, that gave students the chance to just let loose and enjoy themselves. What was touching your ears, you ask? Well, given that Seth's list comprised of romantic songs and dedications, he was currently having a ball whipping up Jason Mraz's 'I'm Yours' with his classmate singing back-up.
[Suki] She had been gazing over those that walked pass, and there was a few guys that had stopped by. Paying the dollar, there was a choice. A kiss upon the cheek or the lips of course, most wanted to have a kiss on the lip. It was sweet and innocent really. The dollar going into the clear container, and a smile teased her lips. "Have a nice Valentine's day." she would coo toward the ones that walked off with a smile. There was a moment she had came to noticed a boy (Misetto) had been pacing, to get eat. And perhaps run off to do something else. The doors of the Great hall was open, so she could hear Seth and his friend was working on music. Lightly biting her lower lip, as she gave a smile. Glancing into the Great Hall. For there was no one at her booth right now. She had re-applied her lip gloss, she had it with her cause she knew she was going to need to keep her lips moist. Gazing toward the stage, and wave her hand by the door. Just to give Seth a friendly hello of course, and a smile touching her lips. Allowing him to practices was a must, but she secretly wouldn't mind practices kissing on him. Shaking her thoughts from her mind, she gave a wave and she blew him a kiss. As she giggled, she would move back toward her booth. It was funny when girls wanted to get a kiss, but they wanted one on the cheek mostly. And some guys would stand around to watch this. Only to pay for a kiss themselves. When they all had went to head into the Great Hall. Leaving Suki for the moment by herself by her booth.
Misetto wolfed down his breakfeast, which wasn't abnormal because he normally ate unnaturally fast and a large amount even though he looked as if he barely ate anything at all. After going to his room again, he made his way down the stairs again, dollar in hand. He then decided to place it in his pocket, take it out in his hand, put it back into his pocket and then place it in his hand again. Finally, he stopped fumbling with the thing and set it in his pocket. Overthinking things, as usual, he walked up to the stand and struggled to get the dollar out of his pocket, he eventually got ahold of the elusive piece of paper and handed it over to Suki after, of course scanning the room to make sure that there was little to nobody in there. Nervous and a little twitchy, he smiled. "H-h-hi. Um..." Standing for a minute, he ran his hand through his unkempt hair. "J-j-just k-k-k-keep it as a d-d-d-donation." Misetto nodded, spun around and began to make his way to the stairwell.
[Seth] There wasn't any sort of applause for their little numbers up on stage. Either the students were too caught up pouncing each other and handing out valentines, or those that did listen simply nodded with approval. "Righteous! Uh.." Seth spoke into the microphone, still leaning slowly with the music in his head and casting a glance to his compadre. "We're gonna take a little break, but don't forget to pick up your flower or tie for tonight! There's still plenty of surprises in store for you guys. Party tonight's gonna be rad so, if you feel down, doors will be opening at seven. Alright! So uh, take it easy, and happy valentines to you guys." Seth took his time to pull the guitar off of him and set it on the stand. Brushing his hands of morning work, he turned to look at the doorway where people entered and left, noticing Suki at her kissing booth waving at him. He flashed his pearly whites, lifting an arm and waving back. When she blew him a kiss he hid his teeth by curling his lips, glancing down while his cheeks flushed. He started on his way towards her, hopping down from the stage and weaving around the masses of people aiming to get their breakfasts and crossing their hearts. He had stepped out just as a boy approached the booth, clearly nervous about the whole thing. He quirked an eyebrow and tucked his hands into his pockets. "Hey man it's alright," Seth said, relaxed and glancing over at Suki. Was she going to accept just a donation? In all honesty, Seth saw a lot of him in Misetto. Before christmas, he was always nervous around women. Never even kissed anyone up until recent. Seemed the lad had the idea to walk away quite quickly though. "W-Whoa, hey.. are you sure?" he asked after him. He gave Suki a look. A lady would make a better lasso than any dude on valentines. Maybe she could get him that kiss anyway. Valentines wasn't something Seth wanted to have viewed as an avoidable day anymore. It was for everyone!
[Suki] A smile linger upon her soft lips, as she would watch Misetto walking over with a dollar. He seem nervous as hell from what she could tell. And with him putting it in the jar and saying it as a donation she giggled. "Every donation at least gets a kiss." as she would move away from her booth a moment. Before Misetto got to far, and place a gentle kiss upon his cheek. "And a happy Valentine's day." as she would soon move back toward her booth with a smile. At least Seth had the right idea when Misetto tried to just donate the dollar of course. And she would soon smile toward Seth as she gave him a wink, "Really think I wouldn't give a least a kiss to the cheek." as she would glance toward Misetto as well. Curious a bit after she gave him a kiss upon the cheek. But soon she would glance toward Seth. "You were sounding good up there, Seth. Been practicing for tonight." asking sweetly. As she would move around the booth, to give Seth a hug. She was his best friend after all, and she lean up giving a kiss upon his lips gently a moment. Knowing her vanilla gloss would linger upon the lips. "That is to wish you good luck tonight." before she would move to lean against the table of the booth. Her hands resting on either side of her. The donation jar was partly filled right now from this morning, she wonder how full it would get as the day went on. Before using it to get the rest of the stuff for the Hearty Party tonight.
Misetto avoided eye contact with Seth, but aknowledged that he was trying to help him relax. Misetto's face burned a bright red as opposed to his pale white skin when Suki kissed his cheek. He didn't say anything and briskly continued on his way to his room, head down, avoiding eye contact. He stopped spun around and said, "Eh...Thanks." His voice cracked and he cupped his mouth, spun around again and walked faster than before. He began to think to himself, " I just had to say something...HAD to..." Misetto thought of the Hearty Party that was going to go on tonight. He was unsure if he should even bother going considering he didn't know what to exactly do at a party or what to even think of wearing. Eventually he made it to his room and flopped on his bed, letting out a breath of relief. His dorm, a sanctuary of quietness.
[Seth] Seth couldn't help but smile. Whether the guy ran off or not, he was glad to see Suki give chase and at least spread the cupid's playful spirit about the halls. Fingers tucked in his front jean pockets, the Crux shifted on his feet, bouncing on them slightly while Suki meandered back to her booth. "This is awesome," he said, glancing sideways over at the jar that had partially collected funds. The asian's question was met with a nod. "Oh, yeah. Thanks! I think it's gonna go pretty well. I'm just hoping it doesn't, you know.. flop and totally crash the reputation I'm apparently gaining." He felt her arms wrap around him, so naturally his did the same with her figure, hands caressing the small of her back while he held her close. Her kiss was unexpected, so the surprise didn't warrant a pursing his lips to capture and redeliver. He did close his eyes to accept it though, smiling like a child after and letting his hands fall back to his sides as she wiggled out of his arms. "Wow.. that's a lot of luck. Should probably save it for St. Pattys when the leprechauns attack or something," he remarked, adding a bout of laughter while he stepped towards her. He had nothing to better to do for the day, so he could spare some time to just hang around Suki. See how she fared with her little promotion gig going on. If it was that easy to make money, he almost thought of just sitting with Suki and being an alternative for the kissing booth. At least girls didn't have to pay to do what girlfriends usually did for each other, right?
[Suki] Glancing toward where Misetto went as she had recalled how red he was, it was adorable. And she gave a way when he said thanks. "Cute.." pausing as she would smile at Seth's words about her kiss. "Well I'll be sure to give you a kiss then too, so you have amazing luck." as she would giggle a bit. Leaning against the booth for now, most of the people were in the Great Hall for breakfast. So she wasn't surprised there wasn't many within the hall right now. Looking toward him as she smiled once more, "So got set music for the party tonight?" asking as she was curious. Moving her hand up to brush her raven locks out of her face, "Think you find a sweetheart anytime soon?" curious question and random to ask. She was a friend, so she was either worried she would be forgotten. Or perhaps she had some luck herself.
Misetto the decision would soon come to mind, hopefully. He kicked off his shoes and sprawled out on his bed, looking at the celing, thinking of the night before with Mari. Was it all a play? A cruel joke? Or had she actually felt someting for him? She did say that she didn't want to shake hands because of the effect of touching her might have, but he still thought. Misetto didn't speak to people and the fact that girls were noticing him, talking with him because they wanted to gave him the jitters. Cracking his joints and grabbing a book off of his nightstand, he sat up in his bed, crosslegged, and began to read. When thoughts clouded his mind, books always seemed to defog the cloudiness within his head.
[Seth] "I'll.. look forward to it?" Honestly, Seth didn't know what to say to that. He enjoyed getting kissed, but at the same time he was well aware, at least by his experience, that too much affection could lead to problems down the road. Years in Hex had him watch every Valentines couple crumble by the following holiday that supported drinking and being merry, which eventually led to cheating while under the influence and such a gloomy few weeks that even April Fools' seldom covered for it. He took a glance back toward the Great Hall doors, but remained where he was with Suki, having eaten earlier already before playing on the stage. He brought his hands together, creating friction and thinking to himself. Her questions made him reflect on what he did first thing that morning. A sweetheart? Well, he wasn't entirely counting on finding on, nor was he in a state of desperation to. But, he hoped what he had concocted certainly surprised a special person. "Yeah, music's all set. And still no date to the party. I mean I made time today to hopefully pull someone aside. I do have a valentine planned, and it took ages to come up with something clever to make it extra special, y'know?" Hands returned to his pockets while he walked around Suki, taking a seat in the chair behind the table and relaxing. "It's less about asking this person out anyway. I mean yeah if it happened, I'd be stoked! Don't get me wrong. It's also though more or less to get these.. feelings, I've been having off my chest. I think it's gonna be sweet to just.. y'know, not have it bottled in anymore. Know what I mean?" he asked, smiling up at Suki.
[Suki] Looking toward Seth a moment, as she was listening to him. As she would roll her eyes a moment about no date to the party. Wow he didn't say no to her but he said since he was doing the party he didn't want a date. Shaking the thought off, as she would turn with him moving behind her kissing both. As she would nod lightly. "Well it's always nice to have plans of such a day." speaking softly as she would nod once more. Moving behind the both to take a seat next to him there. Crossing her legs smoothly as she would look as those passing the booth a moment. "Well I wish you good luck with that." as she knew what he meant. She had been bottled up her emotions, and she was ignoring to speaking them out this day. Giving another smile toward Seth as she would nod once more. Making sure he knew she was there for him.
Misetto puts down his book after reading a couple pages. He didn't want to finish it too soon because it was the only book he had recieved in a long time and didn't know when home was going to send something ever again. He set the book on his nightstand and slipped on his shoes. Misetto was definetely not going to go back to the booth anytime soon. He might completely avoid it when the one girl (Suki) was working. Wondering if Mari was anywhere near, he walked to the room where they had met the previous night. Even though he felt as if his chest were going to burst whenever he was around her, at least she enjoyed his company. Misetto slothed his way into the room, peering over the corners as if he were in a cartoon. Not seeing her there, why not sit down for a while? Maybe wait here for a bit, she must come through here eventually, right?
16:23:17 Belle was in the current process of searching for her little leech, Anna since she normally always tended to find Marisabel instead inbetween classes. Marisabel had been getting herself lost in the school for a few minutes, and thankfully she managed to find herself at the entrance of her house. She pursed her lips and looked about at the area, maybe she was up in the room? The young Siren chose to take a look and as she passed through the door to lead into the common room, she noticed Misetto. Her eyebrows rose in surprise, then her expression changed to give off amusement, "Well lookie what I found! What a delight!" She seemed joyful she found a face she knew, though she didn't expect to see him again so soon just after their first meeting last night. She picked a hand up to toss her hair over her shoulder as she walked over to the chair she first was sitting in last night. "What great timing I must have to run into you again. You haven't seen Anna about, have you?" she had this breath-taking smirk on her lips as she stood behind the chair and her hands laid down on the top of the seat to squeeze the cushion with her thin fingers, her form leaning over with her arms propping her up as she faced him.
16:31:22 Misetto jumped at first, then smiled. "Oh, H-h-hi there. I-I-I'm sorry, I h-h-haven't seen An-An-Anna." He adjusted his glasses and ran his hands through his hair, fixing his glasses around his ears. "I-I um...N-n-nevermind. So, wh-wh-what brings you h-h-here?" He brought his legs up to be crossed again, hands resting on his theighs. "And h-h-have you h-h-heard about th-th-the Hearty P-P-Party? I d-d-don't kn-know if I'm g-g-going yet, b-but it s-s-s-sounds fun." He slouched again and folded his hands on his calves, near his feet.
16:47:38 Belle changed her expression a tad as he had denied seeing Anna. She pushed down on the chair to lift her feet off the floor then drop back down to hear her shoes touch the ground. "Oh well I was on the look for Anna, she didn't find me after class and so I chose to look for her myself. So rude she didn't tell me she might have changed her schedule today. I was going to take her to the Great Hall." She watched him move in the seat and she decided to then step around the chair and sit down with her ankles crossed as she sat straight up and leaned against an arm, her arms loosely crossing over another on the arm. "I haven't heard much about the party, Anna seems all excited about it. It's cute, really, but I don't get the big hype about it. Everyday could be Valentines Day for me." A giggle broke her speech and she turned her head away to grin at the thought. "But I might go, if we get to dress up. I love dressing up for parties," she turned her head back to look at her acquaintance.
16:54:52 Misetto nodded, "W-w-well that can b-b-be undersandable." He thought a moment, his head muddled with thoughts and ideas and why some of those ideas even came to his head. Another endless and pointless conversation within his head. "I-I-I really d-d-don't know m-m-much a-ab-about it. All I kn-kn-know is that they c-c-color c-coded the cor-cor-corsages. H-h-have... N-nevermind, um...Y-y-you think Anna w-w-will c-c-come here ev-ev-eventually, then?" He fiddled with his hands and readjusted his glasses again. Misetto looked like he wanted to say something, he just didn't know how to say it. So he brought his hand to his chin and propped his head upon it. He looked at the floor, stared
at it, as if he were looking for an answer there. He sighed, looked up and smiled. "Wh-where d-d-do you th-think sh-sh-she is an-an-anyway?"
17:06:02 Belle couldn't help but grin as she watched him chat, his stuttering made her wanna giggle more, but then she felt she would fall back into the seat with an aching stomach due to eventually laughing. She knew it was rude to wanna do that, but she didn't seem affected by others feeling being hurt often. Plus she liked to see how far she could go with poking fun at someone until they threw a tantrum at her. "Really. Well I guess I can do a red dress. Pink isn't always my favorite color to do, red has a passionate intensity to it. Or I could do white, showing purity and innocence..." she then giggled and covered her mouth. She sighed with a loud high pitch as she sat back and crossed her leg one over the other. "I don't know if Anna will come around, I know she will probably worry about where I am and once she finds me, she will need to apologize for not telling me what her schedule changed to." She huffed and relaxed back against the chair, watching him to study what he might be thinking off. "I wouldn't even have a clue, unless maybe she ended up at the nurses. But she's a healer, so I am going against that thought. Who knows, she could be working on something in a class room."
17:15:19 Misetto sighed. "Y-y-yeah. M-m-maybe." He noticed her giggling at his stutter. He didn't mind it. In fact, he was used to it from the school he went to before Hex Institute. The memories of that place weren't favorable so he decided to think of something else, but could only think of thinking of not thinking about his old school. Misetto shook his head at the memories, his face contorted then turned into a smile. "S-s-so Anna is a h-h-healer? I'm a h-healer." Misetto started to feel a numbness in his legs. Either he was really nervous, or his legs were losing circulation from sitting crosslegged and having him lean on his legs as well. He didn't move, but instead looked up at the celing. "What w-w-was your sc-sc-school like?"
17:26:52 Belle stared over at Misatto for the short time he wasn't speaking, giving a look like he could have been thinking about something. Marisabel sucked in her cheek to gently bite at the inside of it until he suddenly spoke of Anna. "Yeah, she told me as we were chatting in the room as I unpacked. She's a little ball of joy once you get her to not be so shy around you. She talked about how she's never been a sick a day of her life and how she hasn't broken any bones." Marisabel sat up in her seat and propped her arms on the arms of the chair as he asked about school. She gave an easy smile and chuckled, "It was a public school. The traditional human school where the jocks picked on anyone who didn't do sports, the computer nerds were too shy to ever talk to anyone out of their group, the theatre kids had their noses so high in the air..." she lowered her voice as she seemed to think to herself and laugh. "Then there's the ones who just don't fit anywhere. I didn't fit anywhere because I was too good for a 'clique.' "
17:33:38 Misetto squinted and nodded. "In-in-interesting. She s-s-s-seems nice. Th-th-then again, I on-on-only saw h-h-her wh-wh-when sh-she was as-as-asleep." As Mari reminiced about what her school was like, he closed his eyes. "Y-y-you were al-al-alone t-t-too? A-a-at least th-th-the t-teachers l-l-liked you, r-right?" He had a concerned and curious look on his face. If she had been able to make everyone love her, then why didn't she have anyone to hang out with? A couple thoughts came to mind, but they were ludicrously obtuse. Why not ask her? "So, i-i-if you did-did-didn't have a g-g-group of f-f-friends, why d-d-didn't you make some?" He thought a moment. "Th-that's p-p-probably wh-why you're h-h-here, isn't i-i-it?" He grinned.
17:50:32 Belle pursed her lips and grunted as she thought of his question. She was alone, but it was due to her choice of being alone and having whatever she wanted at home made school just something she remotely did with no care about actually having a 'high school life.' "Only the dance, music and theatre teachers did. And that was because I made them." Her eyes lingered away from his face as her expression seemed blank and unsure of what emotions she was feeling. "It would have been annoying to find people that work with my schedule. I had plenty of people who tried to become friends with me, but I didn't put much care into seeing them. Some were hurt that I didn't seem to try to see them, and some just grew up and away from me because of other cliques." She wrinkled her nose in a displeased way, "My father wanted whatever was best for me and he heard about this school. He felt I should be here and actually know others like me instead of just hiding it." Her eyes ended up to stare at the fireplace.
18:07:19 Misetto slumped back to his seat, "W-w-well th-th-then..." His eyes moved over to the fireplace as well. "I-I-I g-guess I'll s-s-see y-y-you later, then?" He stood up quickly. Misetto fell back into the chair yelling "YEECH!", as his legs had fallen asleep and the 'pins and needles' were puncturing them. Rubbing his legs, he smiled sheepishly. "F-f-forgot th-th-they were n-n-numb." Instead of hurrying the procsess, he let his legs stretch out for a few minutes then stood up again. "I-i-if I s-see Anna, I'll l-l-let you kn-kn-know." He waved her off and began to make his way to the stairwell leading to his room. Misetto didn't know if he was going to the Hearty Party yet and the time was slowly falling away from him. To think, or not to think. That is the question. He thought. Misetto chuckled at his own humor as he walked.
