But I don't want to edit Aleksei. DX;

-stares at post-)) 

The michevious smile grew wider.

"Ouch.  I'm Crispin.  Crispin Townshend.  Know ya don't care, but you'll see me flutterign by a lot, and now that I know your not one of them I just decided to tell you you'll be seeign a lot more of me,"  He said faux innocence in his voice.

Jayden blinked for a minute and then nodded, a slight smile gracing his face as he shifted his violin case to take the hand offered to him. "I'm Jayden...its nice to meet you too." He answered quietly, and then paused. "Al...Aleksei." He said the name of his new friend for a minute, getting the feel of it on his tongue. It was...foreign but familiar; like a chocolate you forgot the name of but it tasted delicious.

 "So...it's your first year here too?" The boy asked, tilted a brown-haired head to the side as he readjusted his slightly slippery grip on his case. Best not lose that now--it was one of his most cherished objects, and he didn't want it to become damaged or stolen...

Altair decided to turn round at the point, cocking his head slightly. "One of who?" he asked, crossing his arms as he looked up --not very far since Crispin wasn't much taller than he was-- at the older male. A small shiver shot up his spine, making Altair swear in Chinese again, his eyes flicking skyward yet again, a frown pulling the edges of his mouth downwards.

"I hate the rain when there's something that needs to be done," he muttered, lightly rubbing his arm to keep it warm. He took no notice of the fact that he was running his fingers over his dragon tattoo, for it was something he saw every day. It was nothing new or special to him.

"Da," Aleksei answered with a wide smile. "My parents sent me here in hopes that it would...improve...my personality...issues," he said, having to pause to think of a couple words. "It is much warmer here than my home country. I like it." He looked up, dark blue eyes trying to focus on each individual raindrop. "The rain....it feels nice..." he murmured, thoughts drifting a bit. 

((C:)) 

Jayden nodded with a light smile, rubbing the back of his wet head with his now-free hand. "My parents thought this place would be best to improve my musical talents...and my love for literature but..." He pauses to look around him, a worried look climbing onto his face as he glanced back toward Aleksei. "I...I don't think this is the best place for that. I'm actually scared of some of the people here...they don't look too nice."

It showed on his face as he finally looked down at his shoes again. "I know its stupid, but...I just have that feeling...you know what I mean?" He then looked back up as both of his hands grabbed the handle of the violin case--the coating on it was black, and it seemed to just have that look of having been owned for some time. "But...I'm glad I met someone like you first.."

((Jade: Nooo. D:>))

Aleksei nodded lightly at Jayden's explanation, then turned to look at the students that had lined up. He had taken no notice of how they seemed before then. "Ah, malchik, looks are not everything," he said, looking back down at the smaller male. "In fact, my parents claim I am bi-polar, which is my personality issue," he stated. Then he tilted his head slightly before leaning down to get closer to Jayden's height. "Spasiba, malchik," he said quite happily, before straightening up and adjusting his scarf.

((Russian is fun. :D)) 

(Whatever....)

"Hn.  Oh, them.  My therapist has this guy watch me sometimes....I'm sure he has friends.  Anyway, I'll talk to ya later.  Unless, of course...You want to try and help me with my other friend...."

Altair blinked again, reaching up to adjust his spiked collar. "Why not? It's got to be better than standing in the rain and getting soaked," he stated, taking this chance to shake his head roughly, flinging water out of his hair with a soft huff. "Anyways, lead the way." His glaze flicked back up to Crispin as the fingers of his right hand cured carefully around the jewel dragon dangling from his spiked collar. 

"...I know. But...at least you haven't beaten me up the first few minutes we were talking..." Jayden replied with a bit of a nervous laugh. He wasn't nervous about the bi-polar--oh no, he was just a bit worried about anyone else...or things as such.

Besides that, he didn't mind the difference in the boy in front of him; oh no, Jayden already trusted him enough not to think that. Shifting on his feet one more time, he glanced towards the building. "Maybe we should get out of the rain so we don't get sick..." He asked, shaking his head slightly as if that would get rid of the water plastering it to his skin.

The grin got wider if possible, as he walked into the place, spotting Alexis immediatly, who was siting on a bench next to the window, watching it rain.

"What havok are you planning on unleashing now?"  Rain caught Crispin off guard.  "Nuthin' Mr. Andersz, just introducing my friend to Alexis!"  He said, a sickly, yet fake innocent grin on his face. 

"I'll talk to your osychiatrist about givign you some pain medacation, just don't make it so Alexis needs them too,"  He sighed, slunkign away, long raven hair swaying a little at his side.

"Okay...Even a heterosexual, like myself, has to admit he's hot...."  He mumbled, then walked to his victo-Alexis.

(You read what I put down for his orientation, right Britt. XD)

Aleksei cocked his head, mood switching from happy to curious. "Why would I injure you when you did nothing?" he asked, then glanced back at the boys behind them. At Jayden's suggestion, Aleksei merely grinned. "Russia is much harsher than this little rain, malchik. It is a cold, snowy country most of the year, while this is merely cool here," he stated, quite comfortable in the rain, which felt deliciously warm to the Russian boy raised in the cold, snowy climate of northern Russia. "Though, if you are cold, we could go in."

_________

Altair's gaze followed Rain as he walked off, a habit of his that he'd had since he was very young. He had to watch someone leave, just to know where they went. His gaze then shifted to focus on Crispin, the nineteen-year-old blinking. "Well, that is true..." he murmured, reaching back to carefully force the water of his ebony ponytail before he simply just gave up and took the hair-tie out, his wet hair falling around him like a black waterfall. He started running his fingers through his hair to both force out the water and to make sure it didn't dry all weird.

((xD

I totally did, JAde. C:)) 

Aleksei nodded, taking hold of Jayden's wrist and moving towards the overhanging. He paused a moment, though, not wanting to end up dragging the smaller male behind him. Then he would lose his only friend, and that would make the Russian very unhappy. And an unhappy Aleksei is an Aleksei more likely to snap for no reason at all.

((....My post is a fail. xD)) 

"Yeah, just keep your hands of him, though..He has issues.  I'm not beign rude.  One of the other teacher's tried to grab him..I was too suped up on meds to really knwo what was going on, but somethign must've happened, and he's afraid of people makign contact with him....Oh, YOU!"

Alexis jumoed when hearign the loud noise, and he looked at his harras-roomate, then the other person.

"..." He looked back down, hoping Crispin would press, but he sat down next to him.

"This guy, is with me.  He's saner than I am, don't worry.  We just want to talk."  He said with that same evil grin, makign the poor boy even more nervous.

Jayden didn't fight it, and he followed the elder boy while keeping a hold on his violin case and bag. Catching up, the boy actually moved and absentmindedly clung to the arm gripping his wrist. He was cold, and the boy was warmer...he was sure Aleksei wouldn't mind for just one moment.

 Right?

Altair sat on Alexis's other side, blinking once. "I'd certainly hope I'm saner...." he murmured, watching Crispin curiously before turning his gaze to the boy he had seated himself beside. "So, you're the one who doesn't talk, I suppose?" he asked, leaning forward to lace his hands together, resting his chin on top of them.

Aleksei looked down at the smaller boy as he clung to his arm, but shrugged it off and let him cling. He moved under the overhanging and, using only one hand, undid his scarf. He shifted his currently occupied arm and began to wring the water out of the cloth neck-warmer, making sure that he got out as much as he could before carefully wrapping it around Jayden's neck, letting it hang loosely upon the smaller's shoulders.

He smiled, satisfied with his work. "It is warmer, da?" 

((xDDD

Al is so blunt. xD)) 

Jayden was actually trembling when they finally got under the overhanging. His clothes were plastered to his skin like his hair was, and he was biting his bottom lip slightly and scooting over towards the boy a little more to get warm. And then...then he blushed and tensed a minute when the warm ob
ject slipped around his neck and shoulders.

He was a bit smaller than Aleksei in terms of build so it was a bit looser but the ob
ject was nice and warm, and--still blushing--he let go of the boys arm and looked up at him. "I...It is. T-thank you, Aleksei...I-I'll give it back in a minute, promise..."

((Jayden is flustered nao. Doesn't know what to say, silly boy. xD;))
