Altair pushed himself off of the ground, wiping his hands off on his pants, blinking at Espen. "It's okay, Espen. You're not the first one to end up pulling me to the ground," he told him, reaching out to ruffle the shorter male's hair again with a soft, warm smile. "But you are the first to do it on accident," he chuckled, holding out his hand for Espen to take so he could help him off of the ground.

"Believe me, I'm a tough egg to crack." He nodded to reinforce his point.

((Hrrr.

While helping Espen up, he could pull him into an Altair-style bear hug? :D))

( I know, huh? D: Nyuu. She went to sleep. ;3; )

Jesse blinked, realizing he'd been standing there like an idiot for a while, and opened the door, smiling when he saw Ero there. "You forgot your keys?" It wasn't much of a question, but he still said it like it was.

( Sure. o3o )

Espen turned back around and took Altair's hand, letting out a tiny huff when he realized Altair was too heavy for him to help up. Damn, he thought, blushing slightly. I'm so weak.

Altair grinned after a moment, pulling Espen up to envelop him in a bear hug, being careful not to crush him or anything. He chuckled softly. "See? I'm perfectly fine~" he said gently after a few moments.

((Pfft. My thoughts died. xD;;))

( D: I'm sure your thoughts are... *revives thoughts* )

Espen gasped, going completely red. He almost tried to hide in Altair's hair, but he figured that might be a little awkward. "Yeah..." he said, letting his own arms snake around Altair. "I see."

Altair smiled down at Espen. "Are you okay? You fell, too, and you said earlier that you don't take pain well," he said, tilting his head slightly to the side.

((Maybe my thoughts will come back eventually. e.o

AND. You have to post on the Circus Gothica one. D:

The Greatest Show Unearthed! .3.))

( Sure. ^^ )

"Yeah," Espen shuddered. "I didn't want to scream or start crying, and then embarr*censored*ment kind of...like, made me forget about the pain." He didn't look up at Altair, afraid he might do something else if he did.

Altair frowned lightly, running his fingers through the back of Espen's hair. "Should I carry you the rest of the way, then?" he asked, blinking once.

((Gawd. Stupid brain. D:))

Altair nodded and scooped the shorter male into his arms, surprised at how easily he could lift him up. He was much lighter than he thought he'd be.

After smiling down at Espen in an attempt to be comforting, he set off again, moving at his usual, quick pace. He hated seeing others in pain. He didn't know why, but he just did.

By instinct, Espen cuddled Altair like he was a fluffy, stuffed animal. He had one arm around Altair's neck, and he could almost swear the pain had just disappeared. It wasn't possible, which he knew, but he had almost forgotten about it completely. Well, at least until he realized that he wasn't realizing the pain. Remembering that, he forgot that he had snuggled up against Altair.

( One thing leads to another... c: )

( Drop him, drop him! xD )

"Are we there yet?" Espen half-whined, sounding like a kid who was unsure of whether to whine to his parents or not. He closed his eyes, perfectly comfortable in Altair's arms. He hadn't even noticed that Altair seemed to be constantly looking down at him, and he smiled gently. It was possible that he would fall asleep, but he wasn't going to let that happen.

Espen opened his eyes. "You slowed down," he said softly, looking up at Altair. He blinked, but didn't go further into the subject. Even if Altair didn't really mind people who asked too many questions, he knew better.

There's the school... Espen sighed, huddling against Altair's chest. He didn't want to be set down. not just yet. He had to savor the moment.

((I think we should hurry to the next day... I had my other characters talking to other people, now I don't know where hardly any of them are.... Soooooo yeah....))

 "Sorta.... But not really...." Jordny sighed. She then pulled her phone out of her pocket and looked at the time. "It's six O'clock.... They're going to be patrolling the dorms soon and it'll be impossible to get in....We should get going..." She sighed.

~~

Aryn, Ivan, Gerard and Kei all headed back to their dorms.... 

((Well...should Espen and Altair be roomies so the moment doesn't have to end so soon? ;3

Date: Not yet. e.o

Other: He is blind and relies on his other senses to get him through the day. But, if there are too many people talking at once and/or too many scents and/or just plain too many people, he tends to just stand in one place until someone decides to guide him through or whatever's confusing his senses goes away and he can find his own way.

((-had to leaf through so many good pictures-

@w@))

( You're here again, Rika? 8D
Were you talking to me about that roomie thing? o3o 'Cause, if so, then yes.

...I think there's gl*censored* in my eye. e.o )

"I guess," Drew said, sighing. "But, I'll get to see you tomorrow, right?" he asked, tilting his head at Jordyn.

( What'll happen if I bl
ink? D: )
