Adrion (2:17:32 AM): Adrion fixed himself and washed his hands, sighing. He
knew the guy had been in there alone.
Dani (2:18:27 AM): Dani rolled his eyes
and leaned back against the wall. Or he could just wait him out. Who cared
really? He stuck his tongue out the side of his mouth, feigning a dead face and
twiddled his thumbs.
Adrion (2:20:53 AM): "You know, if you're going to sit in the loo doing
nothing, you might as well really wank. Otherwise, I'd find somewhere better to
hide out."
Dani (2:22:08 AM): Dani pressed his lips
together. Oh if this kid only knew. "And if you don't know someone, why
not mind yer own business?"
Adrion (2:24:20 AM): "It'd be a load of fun to get to know the boy who
can't watch where he's walking and goes around pretending he's getting sucked
of," he opened the door and walked out.
Dani (2:25:27 AM): At that, Dani growled
obscenities and kicked the door, slumping down further on the toiletseat.
"Snobby little fucker,"he mumbled.
Adrion (2:25:46 AM): Sitting down on the pavement outside, he sighed.
Dani (2:27:28 AM): But realizing the kid
was fucking right, he got up, slung his bag over his shoulder and made his way
out of the bathroom and to the library entrance. Once on the front stoop, he
struck a match and lit a cigarette.
Adrion (2:28:35 AM): Leaning his head back, Adrion had his eyes closed and the
books now shoved into his bag.
Dani (2:29:39 AM): Dani sucked on the
cigarette and saw the smartarse kid from be fore sitting there. He snorted and
sidled down the steps.
Adrion (2:31:19 AM): He knew he was there by the smell of smoke, casually
glancing down the street,
Dani (2:32:12 AM): Dani glanced at his
watch, one of the few personal possessions he'd brought, a gift from his father
and then looked around for a cab.
Adrion (2:34:33 AM): [... he has money? he didnt run out yet?] His phone rang
and he flicked it open, listening to his mom on the other end.
Dani (2:36:40 AM): (I didn't say he had
money. He could skip out without paying. *snort* Who knows, maybe he'll just
walk away) Dani fidgeted a bit, taking a long drag on his cigarette.
Adrion (2:41:59 AM): He clicked the phone shut and got up, getting a cab.

Dani (1:42:35
AM): He'd been running for days. He had nowhere to go. Nowhere
that was safe. And he couldn't linger in a place too long for fear of getting
caught "loitering". So when he saw the library up ahead, he let out a
sigh and shuffled in hurriedly, looking behind him out of constant paranoia.
Adrion (1:43:50 AM): Adrion, sixteen years old, was checking his books out and
sighed to himself, looking around. He knew the day would be spent on research.
Turning, he went to walk out.
Dani (1:45:11 AM): Dani slammed into
something soft, something that couldn't be anything but another person and
stumbled backwards, letting out a cry.
Adrion (1:45:42 AM): His books fell on the ground, all six of them, and he
sighed, having fallen back into the wall.
Dani (1:46:50 AM): Dani looked up,
blinking rapidly. "Shite, sorry."He bit his lip, hard enough to taste
blood and stooped to pick up the books.
Adrion (1:49:41 AM): Adrion looked like something had just jumped out of the
brush with a knife... but that was always how he looked when any sort of
surprise came along. Eyes a little wide, he averted his gaze and took the books
quietly.
Dani (1:50:52 AM): Dani didn't waste times
with smiles or anything. He just handed the books back, maybe a bit abruptly,
took his bag and looked around to make sure no one had been staring as he
hurried off.
Adrion (1:53:21 AM): Sighing a little, he stood there and waited for his heart
to slow down.
Dani (1:55:29 AM): Dani gazed around again
before slipping into the men's room, going into a stall and flopping down onto
the toilet, dropping his bag in front of him.
Adrion (1:58:08 AM): Adrion looked outside and waited... and waited... his
mother didn't come for him. Bitching a little inside his head, he traisped back
into the library to go to the bathroom.
Dani (1:59:06 AM): Dani hung his head
between his legs, breathing a bit heavily, his heart thudding in his chest. He
couldn't live like this.
Adrion (2:01:32 AM): Setting the books down, he unzipped himself and stood
there at the urinal, head against the wall and mumbling something to himself.
Dani (2:04:00 AM): Dani looked up when he
heard the voice a nd peeked through the slit in the stall door. As dumb as it
was, he hadn't expected anyone to come in, a nd he found himself watching the
young bloke, the one he'd run into.
Adrion (2:05:23 AM): He was starting to get sick of today. He'd been to
school... gone to his doctor appointment... and made his way to the library all
on his own. His mum had one thing to do for him: pick him up at 5pm in front of
the library.
Dani (2:06:50 AM): Dani contemplated how
long he could actually sit here with this kid taking a piss and decided to try
and get him out somehow. A smirk lit his face. "Oh....ohhh..."he
moaned.
Adrion (2:07:25 AM): He stood there a moment, mid-piss, and blinked.
Dani (2:08:46 AM): "Oh bloody
hell....oh god...suck it love....harder."Dani bit back a laugh.
Adrion (12:16:51 AM): Adrion listened quietly to
the sounds of footsteps on leaves and wondered who or what could be in the
neighbors backyard.
Dani:
Grumbling to himself, Dani shook off some dirt and leaves from himself and made
his way back towards the house.
Adrion:
He listened to a door open and a curious feeling overcame him, sitting up and
gathering everything together. Going up the stairs to his attic room , he
quietly peeked out his window and across to the house next door.
Dani:
Dani was afraid to really put on lights or anything of that nature. This had
been the house he'd grown up in, but did it truly feel like anything but an
empty space to him anymore?
Adrion:
He put the dinner in the oven his mom had made the night before and started it,
his little sister and mom coming in as he sat upstairs at his window.
Dani:
Finally deciding he had to have a little light, he went up to his old bedroom
and flicked on a lamp, sighing a bit.
Adrion:
A light went on and Adrion perked up, sitting more into his window seat to look
out.
Dani (12:19:25 AM): He sat on the old bed there and rested his chin in his
hands.
Adrion (12:27:33 AM): He didn't see anything,
watching with a fascination. No one had been in that house in years.
Dani (12:29:28 AM): Sighing, he got up, slipping past the window and tugging
his shirt over his head.
Adrion (12:32:39 AM): Blinking a little, Adrion
continued to look.
Dani (12:40:32 AM): He undid his belt, looking around the room and actually
letting himself smile a little.
Adrion (12:41:07 AM): Leaning back a little
against the right side of the bay window, he huddled so he couldn't be seen.
Dani (12:58:12 AM): Slipping out of his jeans, he scratched at his head, b
iting at the side of his lip.
Adrion (1:00:32 AM): Pressing his cheek there,
Adrion tilted his head. The guy... he looked really familiar.
Dani (1:23:24 AM): Sighing,
he wriggled out of his boxers and made his way to the bathroom.
Adrion (1:27:16 AM): His mom called for him and
he blushed, watching his ass as it disappeared into another part of the room.
Standing up, Adrion called back to his mom that'd he'd be down.
Dani (12:37:15 AM): Heading into the bathroom, Dani stepped into the shower
once he'd turned on the taps and stood under the rushing water.
Adrion (12:38:52 AM): Adrion watched the window for a moment before finally
disappearing downstairs. The library. The kid from the library was living next
door.
Dani (12:46:42 AM): He got out after the
water had run cold and went to change, flopping down onto his bed.
Adrion (12:51:20 AM): When his mom mentioned something about a light on next
door, Adrion tried not to pay attention.
Dani (12:59:53 AM): He closed his eyes,
rubbing at his forehead.
Adrion (1:01:22 AM): Luckily, he got away from the table without her saying
much else. Trailing back up the stairs, he took his place on his bed and opened
his compuiter.
Dani (1:06:30 AM): He was tired, yet he
couldn't sleep. He needed to get out of here, and yet he had no place to go.
Adrion (1:06:58 AM): Adrion kept glancing forward and up out the window. The
light was still on, but he couldn't see anything.
Dani (1:13:07 AM): Standing, he stretched
a bit and went over to the window, pushing it open.
Adrion (1:14:14 AM): Seeing the movement, his gaze flickered up to the window
again.
Dani (1:23:49 AM): He sat down on the
window ledge and let out a soft sigh, leaning his head back against the frame.
Adrion (1:35:55 AM): Setting the computer aside, he opened the side of his
window.
Dani (1:36:44 AM): Putting his arm over
his face, he let out a little breath. He was "free" but not quite.
Adrion (1:46:33 AM): "Are you stalking me?" the houses weren't too
far apart.
Dani (1:50:32 AM): Dani startled a bit and
almost fell over, glancing out the window. "Fucking hell no."
Adrion (1:50:59 AM): "Who are you?
Dani (1:56:43 AM): "Don't worry about
who I am."
Adrion (1:58:53 AM): "Oh, I'm not worried about it, really."
Dani (2:04:03 AM): "Then go away and
leave me alone."
Adrion (2:07:00 AM): Adrion shrugged a little and left the window open. It was
a nice night. Turning around, he quietly tugged his shirt up and tossed it into
the hamper, flicking his light off.
Dani (6:04:40 PM): Dani
glowered and then looked out at the sky, wondering about how his family was
back home. He missed them more than he thought he would.
Adrion (6:05:32 PM): Putting his laptop on his nightstand, Adrion settled
under the covers and curved up, quietly looking still out the window.
Dani (6:11:52 PM): He wanted to call his
mum, reassure her that nothing had happened to him, but he couldn't, he knew
that. They were watching his family and he couldn't put them in jeopardy.
Adrion (6:13:12 PM): Adrion knew who he was... or at least he thought he did.
He remembered them before they moved out... him and his sister. They weren't
bad, like most twins, and didn't back him into a corner because he was a
stranger to them. But if that were the same kid... he would still be 17 and
where was his family?
Dani (6:22:33 PM): Tugging at the end of
his hair, he moved out of the windowseat and over to his bed, flopping down on
it and sitting against the wall.
Adrion (6:26:14 PM): He knew he didn't have to sleep now, but there wasn't
much else to do. Tommorow started their vacation off for the next week.
Dani (6:29:26 PM): Staring into the
darkness, Dani wondered to himself just how long he'd have to stay on the run.
Adrion (6:29:58 PM): So, like always, Adrion fell asleep fast and without
moving around much.
Dani (6:34:15 PM): Instead of sleeping
most of the night, Dani went out for a walk, finding himself at a park nearby
and sitting in a swing for a few hours till he got tired and made his way back
home, falling asleep out on the couch.
Adrion (6:38:58 PM): The next morning his sister had ballet so his mother and
father were both gone. Sighing, he lazily got himself up.
Dani (6:46:23 PM): Around noon he finally
woke up, making his way to the shower and washing up before going to his bag
and getting out a granola bar.
Adrion (6:47:14 PM): Pajama pants sinking on him, as they did a lot just
recently, Adrion went to check the mail.
Dani (6:54:24 PM): Dani stood on the back
patio, stretching and glancing at the dirty pool.
Adrion (6:57:44 PM): He thought about the house next door for a moment before
trailing through the house and putting the mail on the table.
Dani (7:06:07 PM): He had half the mind to
clean it out and stuff, knowing Raine would be doing her best to get things to
him, like clothes, money and food.
Adrion (7:06:34 PM): Quietly, he stepped outside and walked to the gazebo in
the back of the yard.
Dani (7:10:34 PM): Going over to the shed
where there was still things set up, he got out a hose and went over to the
pool, taking off his shirt and jumping down into it.
Adrion (7:10:59 PM): [if they havent been there in years... shudder]
Adrion (7:11:34 PM): Adrion wasn't
supposed to be in the sun, so he didn't. Settling next to the small outdoor
waterfall, he listening to the splash over the fence.
Adrion (7:20:39 PM): [or the water being
on, whatever lol]
Dani (7:23:41 PM): Dani went about
cleaning up the sides, scrubbing and singing to himself as the sun beat down on
his skin.
Adrion (7:24:55 PM): Laying in the chair, he listened and let his feet
sticknout from the gazebo and into the sun.
Dani (7:29:18 PM): After about an hour and
a half, he was exhausted and the pool was clean. He hopped up out of it and
turned on the filters and began to let the pool fill up.
Adrion (7:31:46 PM): It told him one thing: th e guy was staying./
Dani (7:33:17 PM): Heading back inside to
let it fill up, he got a bag of chips out of his bag and went to lay on a
lounge chair.
Adrion (7:36:39 PM): Why was he there in the middle of the semester? Alone?
Fixing up a house they hadn't been to in years?
Dani (7:37:52 PM): Closing his eyes, he
popped a chip in his mouth and tried to keep his mind off things.
Adrion (7:39:25 PM): It was slowly becoming an irritation now bigger than he'd
exepected. He smiled a little, though, when their dog wobbled over to him under
the gazebo.
Dani (7:46:17 PM): When the bag of chips
was gone, he tossed the empty bag on the table and sighed, ruffling his hair.
Adrion (7:52:28 PM): She barked a little and jumped up into his lap.
Dani (7:55:14 PM): Dani heard the dog
barking and frowned. His family had had so many pets he'd always joked about
them being part of a farm.
Adrion (8:02:54 PM): Curling up in his lap, Adrion smiled. She was almost as
old as him... but not quite.
Dani (8:05:06 PM): He hated this shit.
HATED it. But he'd let it happen.
Adrion (8:05:59 PM): Adrion talked ot her like she was a person and she
listened, looking up at him.
Dani (8:07:38 PM): He quirked a brow,
intrigued when he heard the boy's voice.
Adrion (8:09:30 PM): Smiling a little, he watched her put her paws on his chest
and curl up there.
Dani (8:15:31 PM): Slumping down in the
chair, he felt thoroughly depressed.
Adrion (8:16:51 PM): Talking to her, still, he said something about Dani
Danvers.
Dani (8:17:59 PM): Dani immediately shot
up in his seat, blinking rapidly. "shite, shite, shite,"he muttered
under his breath.
Adrion (8:22:29 PM): And something about Raine, too.
Dani (8:27:04 PM): Dani cringed.
"Goddammit all to hell."
Adrion (8:29:33 PM): He knew he was listening on the other side of the fence
somewhere and finally stopped talking.
Dani (8:30:52 PM): Getting up, he
hurriedly went inside. "SHITE!" He kicked the wall and then let out a
pained groan.
Adrion (8:32:18 PM): Adrionw asn't sure if he was awar eof this, but anything
screamed could be heard by your neighbor. This was suburbia.
Dani (8:40:01 PM): Hopping on one leg, he
rubbed his toe and cursed under his breath.
Adrion (8:45:19 PM): Sighing to himself, Adrion made his way inside.
Dani (8:50:41 PM): He hobbled into the
kitchen and got a glass of water.
Adrion (8:52:01 PM): It was almost noon and he opened the cabinets, looking
for something to ear.
Adrion (8:52:04 PM): eat-
Dani (8:53:17 PM): Sipping it, he wished
he had some money to get food.
Adrion (8:56:04 PM): Waiting for noodles for macaroni to boil, he chewed at a
cookie.
Dani (9:01:42 PM): He needed his sister to
come and save him from this before he ended up starving to death.
Adrion (9:04:04 PM): Adrion looked out his window that aligned with their
living room side window, sighing.
Dani (9:11:42 PM): Huffing, he went in and
rifled through books on a shelf, picking up one to read.
Adrion (9:14:10 PM): He saw him through the window and smiled a little. He
looked nicer from far away...
Dani (9:15:06 PM): Curling up his legs,
Dani opened the book and immersed himself in it.
Adrion (9:15:22 PM): Stirring the noodles, he sat down.
Dani (9:18:59 PM): It was a book his dad
had used to read all the time. He smiled sadly at the thought.
Adrion (12:18:38 AM): Mixing everything with his mac and cheese, Adrion took it
into the front room and sat in the huge bay window.
Dani (12:22:33 AM): He found his mind
drifting and did his best to keep it on track.
Adrion (12:31:49 AM): Poking the noodles, Adrion looked a bit... depressing...
Dani (12:32:56 AM): Glancing around, Dani
cocked his head to the side, looking through the window. He caught a glimpse of
the house next door and frowned.
Adrion (12:34:30 AM): The cat laid next to him on the couch and he clicked the
TV on.
Dani (12:40:43 AM): Throwing the book
aside, Dani wanted to yank out his hair.
Adrion (1:02:18 AM): He slid down more into the couch and set the half eaten
bowl aside.
Dani (1:03:04 AM): He was bored. He was
unhappy. He needed his family and friends.
Adrion (1:05:11 AM): Sighing, he got up and opened the front door, walking
over and knocking on the neighbors door.
Dani (1:20:49 AM): Dani blinked a bit,
looking over and then slowly went to the door. Looking out, he saw the other
boy and swallowed a bit before opening the door.
Adrion (1:21:31 AM): "Hi."
Dani (1:26:39 AM): "Erm...hi."
Dani looked at him a bit awkwardly.
Adrion (1:27:17 AM): "You either don't remember me or...?"
Dani (1:34:22 AM): Dani cocked his head to
the side. "Should I?"
Adrion (1:34:57 AM): "You used to live here."
Dani (1:36:21 AM): "Yeah...I
know."
Adrion (1:37:30 AM): "My name's Adrion..."
Dani (1:38:41 AM): Dani furrowed his
brows, thinking on it for a moment or two. "Adrion..."He said the
name slowly and bit at his lip. Yes, he knew him. He remembered.
Adrion (1:45:16 AM): "And your Dani..."
Dani (1:48:42 AM): "Yeah, that'd be
my name."
Adrion (1:49:10 AM): "Shouldn't you still be in classes?"
Dani (1:55:47 AM): "Why is that any
of your concern?"
Adrion (1:56:35 AM): "It's not..." Adrion wasn't really trying to be
probing. "ITs just that no ones been here in years... and I know you're
only a year ahead of me... and you're alone here..."
Dani (1:59:29 AM): "Yeah, I am. I was
home-schooled. I'm on a break."
Adrion (2:00:14 AM): "How come? I mean... why are you alone?"
Dani (2:03:37 AM): "Because I asked
to be alone for a bit."
Adrion (2:05:19 AM): "do you want to come over?"
Dani (2:11:05 AM): "Come over? I
barely know you."
Adrion (2:14:01 AM): Adrion put his arm at his stomach. "It's 20ft... I
don't think anything will happen from here to there..."
Dani Dani pressed
his lips together and sighed. "All right, fine." He shut the door
behind him and stepped outside.
Adrion "i
didn't see you move anything in... you have to be bored in there..."
walking across the driveway.
Dani
"Yeah....well I don't have much right now,"he mumbled, hands shoved
into his pockets.
Adrion Adrion
looked at him a little, opening the front door.
Dani A bit
cautious, Dani waited for Adrion to go in before he did too.
Adrion He brought
him into the living room. "Want anything to eat?"
Dani "Nah,
I'm good." Dani replied, though he wasn't really. A granola bar and chips
weren't much
Adrion "You
sure? Got enough junk food to... well, its a lot..." smiling a little.
God, he felt like a fucking idiot.
Dani Dani
returned the smile lightly and bit at his lip. "Thanks, but I'm fine,
really."
Adrion
"Alright, well... I'm going to get something..." and he handed him
the remote. "Pick something..."
Dani Dani took
the remote and sat down on the end of the couch, flipping through the channels
leisurely.
Adrion Adrion got
out a bag of cheetos and came back, flopping down.
Dani Dani had
stopped on some animal show thing and pulled a leg up in front of him.
Adrion Stretched
out on the chair opposite them was the cat, upside down, and Adrion smiled a
little at this, sitting close to Dani and opening the bag.
Dani Dani smiled
at the cat, making a clucking noise to get its attention.
Adrion Her paw
moved, swatting at the air.,
Dani Dani
chuckled, reaching out and tapping her paw.
Adrion "You
can pick her up, if you want... She'll probably just fall asleep on you."
Dani Dani scooped
up the cat, leaning back against the couch again and let her lay on his chest,
stroking over her back.
Adrion There was a
puppy on the screen and Adrion awed.
Dani Dani played
with the kitten and then looked up at the screen. "I had a pup sorta like
that."
Adrion
"Had?"
Dani Dani nodded
a bit. "Well, I don't really have her now."
Adrion "So
she's at home?"
Dani Another
little nod and Dani kissed the top of the cat's head.
Adrion Adrion
quietly ate some cheetos and offered some.
Dani
"Thanks." Dani took just a bit and ate a couple, laughing as the cat
swatted at one in his hand.
Adrion He set the
bag of Cheetos down between them, closer to Dani, though.
Dani Dani barely
noticed them, too into playing with the cat.
Adrion Adrion
looked at him and tried not to laugh. "so... uh... how's your
sister?"
Dani "She's
fine. Straight A student and all that jazz."
Adrion "What
about you?"
Dani (1:51:42 AM): "Same here...or has been till I left."
Adrion (1:57:22 AM): "So you left? I thought you said you were on
break?" a small smirk on his lips.
Dani (2:01:52 AM): "I am on break, hence me leaving home."
Adrion (2:05:02 AM): "You made it sound like your grades weren't going to
be perfect like your sisters because you left..." a shrug.
Dani (2:05:48 AM): Dani bit his lip. "Well I didn't mean it that way,
so sorry for the mixup."
Adrion (2:06:31 AM): "It's alright... I look too much into
things..." sipping his drink.
Dani (2:08:09 AM): Dani scratched behind the cat's ear and looked at Adrion.
"So what's her name?"
Adrion (2:12:56 AM): "Mim..." Adrion smirked a little. "My
sister likes watching Sword in the Stone."
Dani (2:17:00 AM): Dani laughed lightly. "It's cute."
Adrion (2:19:47 AM): "Yeah... it is... We call her madame a lot."
Dani (2:21:37 AM): "Good thing you don't have a complex, kitty."
Dani smirked, ruffling her fut.
Dani (2:21:40 AM): *FUR*
Adrion (2:22:00 AM): "She does... but she likes strangers."
Dani (2:27:38 AM): "Ah, I see. Good thing. I didn't want to get
clawed."
Adrion (6:14:17 PM): Adrion smiled a
little. At least now this guy wasn't being an asshole.
Dani (6:15:13 PM): Dani
nudged his nose against Mim's and chuckled when she lapped at his cheek.
Adrion (6:22:37 PM): "Must really like cats, eh?"
Dani (6:24:09 PM): Dani looked over at
him. "I like all animals, but yes, cat's are my favorite."
Adrion (6:32:06 PM): "Keep her,": he joked.
Dani (6:33:00 PM): Dani chuckled. "Oh
don't tempt me.'
Adrion (7:18:45 PM): Adrion laughed a little and changed the channel. "I
think she likes you more than me."
Dani (7:21:08 PM): "Nah, not
possible." Dani grinned scratching her stomach.
Adrion (7:38:33 PM): "I don't know. .. she's not a big fan of me."
Dani (7:39:20 PM): "Aww, cat's are
just temperamental." Dani rubbed her belly as she sprawled out on his lap.
