Nathaniel pulled his hand away, his eyes wide. "D-did you notice them? I-I thought no one would see them if I wore a jacket, and you're the first person to notice them...in a while." He took a step back, seeming shocked and afraid. "Don't tell anyone."

( He thinks Evessence noticed the scars all over his arms, and she took his hand to turn it over a bit so she could see his wrist correctly. O>O )

Ryo whipped it out of the kitten's reach, smiling. His ears twitched a bit, and he mewed quietly.

"Don't worry, dear. He's interested in us now, but sooner or later he'll get bored with us and leave us alone, as a child would with a toy thats at one point new and fascinating, and then after a while it gets old." Darius said, growing a bit serious as he spoke.

He'll be interested for a while...then he'll leave us. Like she left me. Darius thought, looking down at the floor. And I loved her.

Disk nodded knowing what he meant,she'd expirienced this too with all the guys she dated.

Bash hissed in frustration and leapt to Ryo's shoulder to try and ruffle his hair with his paws.

Ryo squealed, making Darius turn away from Disk. "The cat! The cat!" He yowled, clenching his eyes shut. Darius laughed, then plucked Sabashgin out of Ryo's hair, once again cradling him in his arms like a baby.

"The cat," Darius started, chuckling and setting a finger on the kitten's nose. "is very cute."

Bash meowed to Darius.Trans:the cat agrees.

Disk laughed Bash was hilariuos.

Nathaniel held his hand up to himself, covering his wrist with his other hand. "You don't have to lie. I know you saw it." He pushed his sleeve a little bit down, revealing several lines leading down from his wrist. "And you're confused. Disgusted, I don't know."

~

Ryo chuckled. "He said, 'The cat agrees.'" he informed Darius, who smiled down at the kitten in his arms.

"Mmm. I don't want to go anywhere." Darius said to Keanu, frowning slightly. He shrugged, then said, "Sorry 'bout that." He set the kitten down, then kneeled down in front of a chest, which he opened and pulled something out of.

A bottle of wine.

"Do you guys want some? And don't say, 'Oh, but I'm underaged!'" Darius scoffed. "In Italy they give children and teenagers small gl*censored*es of wine. And in Russia kids are drinking wine by the time they're like, I dunno, eight?" He shrugged, then waved the bottle a little bit. "I know you teenagers are willing to try it, 'cause your curious."

Ryo blinked. "I know I've tried it." he muttered, looking down at Sabashgin. "Didn't taste that good, but since whenever Darius drank it, he'd offer me some, and since I never want to feel rude..."

"I've gotten him drunk before." Darius said, laughing.

Ryo's mouth gaped, and he swallowed. "Shut up! Alcohol has a stronger effect on me than you! I'm not human!" he whine-shouted, his ears flattening.

Nathan placed his hand on the back of Kya's neck, smiling a little bit into the kiss. He murmured something about music against Kya's lips, but didn't exactly break the kiss. He pulled Kya closer to himself, tilting his head in an attempt to deepen the kiss.

After a moment or two, Nathan had to pull away, gasping. "Ran...ran out of breath." he said between soft pants, smiling slightly. "Sorry."

"Oh, Keanu-kun, are you okay?" Darius asked, setting the bottle down and wrapping his arms around Keanu's waist. "It wasn't exactly a smart idea to jump off a train, you know. But I suppose you aren't that smart, then, eh?" He smiled at Keanu, touching his forehead to Keanu's.

"I've done that before, but I dislocated my entire leg. Wasn't able to walk, and I was just sitting out on the street in the dark, kind of waiting for someone to help me." Darius chuckled, shaking his head. "I was pretty lucky: a doctor was driving by, and he noticed me on edge of the sidewalk, so he pulled over and asked me what happened. Told him that I thought I might've broken my leg, he checked me over, and he snapped my leg back into place." He shuddered, his arms tightening around Keanu for a moment.

"Hurt like hell. I screamed and he just smiled and said, 'Everybody screams.' He took me home and that was that." Darius shrugged, setting his chin on Keanu's shoulder. "You do not want to dislocate your leg."

~

"Um, yeah, why?" Nathan blinked, watching Kya carefully as he wondered what she would ask. Something about himself? His parents? About them? Nathaniel? Hmm. There's too many things that she could ask about. he thoought, sighing quietly. Too many things...

Keanu smiled, hugging him back, and said, "No no, it's okay. I do that all the time. It doesn't hurt as bad after like the fifth time, Love." He smiled though at how concerned Darius was though. Then said, "Oh, hun? Pop open that wine, it numbs the pain." Kya smiled, saying, "Good!" And took hold of his shirt front, pulling him into another kiss. She had seen him slightly tense up. Maybe this would help him relax more...

Darius tilted his head, a lopsided smile appearing on his lips. He let go of Keanu, leaning over and grabbing the wine. He popped it open with what looked like a lot of experience, then set it down, glancing at Ryo.

"Oh, fine." Ryo sighed, sliding off his perch on the shelf and grabbing several glas-ses from another shelf, placing them gently around the bottle. "Only a little, okay, Darius?"

Darius nodded, already pouring the dark liquid into each fragile glas-s. When he finished, he clapped his hands, grinning. "Who wants to take a drink first?" He asked, scanning each of the teenager's faces. "I'll drink first, if you're all hesitant." He lifted up the first glas-s his fingers touched, and touched it to his lips, drinking it quickly.

"Now someone else needs to take drink." Darius said simply, putting down the now-empty glas-s.

~

Nathan pulled away, a little surprised. "Well, that was random. I thought you were gonna ask me a question..." He said, molding a hand to her cheek. "Random girl..."

"Egypt." Darius stated, watching as Ryo drank his own glas-s of wine. "Its quite old, so it tastes really good." He poured some more wine into the two empty glas-ses that he and Keanu had drank from, and then sipped his wine, parting his lips so that he could lick his lower lip.

( Darius only drinks wine and champagne and all of those fancy alcohol drinks. xD )
~

"No, seriously, Kya." Nathan said, suddenly serious. "What was your question?"

Darius laughed. "So do I. Always get the imported, aged stuff. Its the only kind I'll drink...Well, most of the time."

~

Nathan laughed. "How should I know? Ask Darius. He knows."

Sbashgin meowed Trans:i wana try!

Disk said"sure i like some Darius,".

( ROFL. "But then again, Keanu and Darius were talking for like ten minutes before they made out. Probably made out all today too..." xD Thats gonna get me through the day today. )

Darius literally ignored Keanu, looking like he was having fun as he handed Disk a glas-s and gave Sabashgin a little bit of wine that wouldn't hurt him. "Mmm...What?" he turned to Keanu, slightly confused.

~ 

Nathan blinked. "Um, no. He said kissing Nathaniel was like kissing two people at once, so he didn't need to. Nathaniel was grossed out, though." He laughed, shaking his head a bit. "I have to admit, it was funny."

Disk took the gl*censored* and sipped it...not really what she had in mind but still.

Sabshgin licked his portion of wine and wrinkle his nose and meowed hysterically.Trans:it tastes funny!.
