Jin
Ooh, below the belt, Jin couldn't help but think. He grinned at Kiya as the younger boy jumped up and headed out of the room. He rolled over onto his back again, staring at the ceiling, smiling to himself. A challenge. He liked that. "Don't worry, chibi," he murmured to himself. "I'll get you. I'll get you."
Eiichi (NEW MEAT!)
Eiichi looked up as a masculine voice greeted him and Rafael, and fell into the amazing green eyes of the blonde behind the counter. 'Wow...'
"Yeah, I'd like a Caramel Apple Cider please, with extra caramel and whipped cream, grande size." Rafael pushed past Eiichi, breaking his line of vision with the teen behind the counter.
Kiyaru
Kiyaru smiled another unreadable smile as he leaned back in his seat again, soft pink rose-petal lips curving upwards slightly. He shrugged casually again. "Maybe... although, judging by how fickle you are with your decisions, who can really be sure." With that he stood, snatching his bag up from beside he chair and slinging it over his shoulder again. "If you'll excuse me, Jin, I'd better get going to class before it starts without me. And I can't afford to miss Art Theory." He excused himself politely, before heading off down the hall in the direction he'd come, having seen his designated classroom on the way there.
Tsumoshi
Tsu hummed his favorite X Japan song under his breath as he wiped off the counters in front of him. He glanced at his watch, sighed irritably, and pulled a spare piece of paper from his pocket to doodle on.
He hated this job, and on rare occasions hated the city that it was in, but he'd always wanted to see the big city, so he wasn't about to complain.
The bells about the door jingled as the door opened, and he looked up with a wide, fake smile at the two people that walked in.
"What can I get for you?"
Rafael
Rafael climbed out and followed Eiichi into the coffee shop, heading towards the cash register. He let his melon green eyes scan the room quietly, trying to find somebody interesting to ponder.
Eiichi
"Oi... Just... Nevermind, okay? I'll explain later." Eiichi pulled up outside of the new brick building tha housed Starbucks and parked. "Come on." With Rafael following him, he headed into the cafe.
Rafael
Rafael blinked at Eiichi's sudden outburst. "Yes. Why does that surprise you?"
Aethan
Sighing, Aethan pocketed his reading glasses, and looked over at Lan. The teacher's aide was attractive enough, but a tad forbidding. Thinking about the faces he had stored in his memory, -all- his students were good looking, in one way or another... It had been rather like his senior Japanese class at Harlaxton College, actually. And those boys had been friendly... no. No, not going there right now. What was a good diversion? His stomach growled, letting him know. Ah. Aethan was hungry. Excellent. He stood abruptly, causing Lan to glance at him. "I'm hungry," he explained. "I'm going to the student dining hall. You're free to go." Scooping the papers into his briefcase with no further ado, he left the room.
Jin
If he was embarassed, he didn't show it other than grin slightly. "Sorry." He pushed himself up so he was supporting himself on the armrest with his hands crossed at the wrists, looking like a large, lounging cat. "Maybe we'll get to work with each other." He smiled at Kiya.
Kiyaru
Kiya closed his eyes as he spoke. "I'm pretty versatile, I guess... I can use a lot of mediums, though I prefer sketching. As for subject matter, I draw whatever I feel like..." He drew his knees up to his chest and draped his arms around them languidly, continuing. "What will I make of it? Well... I'm considering going into graphic design." His eyes settled on the other once more. "So then basically I'd either be doing graphics for advertising... or alternatively, I'd be doing all those fake CGIs and crap."
Eiichi
Shock cause Eiichi to nearly hit the car on their driver side. "What!? You can't mean... Are you a virgin!?"
Rafael
Rafael blinked and thought about it for a moment. "I don't know. I've never thought about it."
Eiichi
Eiichi laughed at the older man's antics, swerving in and out of lanes. "Anyone. I'm bisexual. What about you? Heterosexual, gay or bi?"
Jin
"Stage," Jin said simply. "Not fake, with all the CGIs and crap." He smiled at Kiya. "So, what kind of art do you do? And whatcha want to do with it when you get out of here?" He rolled over so he was on his stomach, gazing over at Kiya through long, dark lashes.
Rafael, the speed demon o_O
Rafael suddenly feared for his safety, but rolled down the window and stuck his head near it. He closed his eyes, loving the feeling of the wind running almost abusive fingers through his hair. He opened his eyes after a few moments and turned to look at Eiichi. "Do you try and seduce everyone, or just boys?"
Kiyaru
The brunette rolled his eyes at the last comment, the gesture half hidden by his hair, shaking his head slightly. He needn't have been told that. The senior was making it more obvious than it would be were he wearing a huge placcard reading, 'single, take me now'. Kiyaru was no idiot; the advances were blatantly obvious. He simply chose to ignore them... Jin... wasn't exactly his type. Although the other student seemed to be a nice enough guy... there was just something about him that made the freshman nervous, and he couldn't put his finger on it. "So what kind of acting do you want do? Theatre, improv, television?"
Eiichi
Jamming the key in the ignition, Eiichi revved the engine and tore out of his parking spot, barely missing another car behind them before roaring out of the lot.
Jin who is not revealing a whole lot
Jin shrugged. "Not much to tell, really. I'm a senior, studying to be an actor. I like music and art and junk like that... I love to travel, and I'm incredibly available." He grinned slightly at Kiya.
Kiyaru
Kiyaru shifted slightly in his seat, crossing his legs, his head resting against the backrest, tilted slightly to one side as he stared across at the other, gaze not having broken. "Whatever you feel like telling me."
Rafael
Rafael followed Eiichi to his car, moving his long, slender limbs like water while his hair shifted in a slight breeze. He climbed into the passenger seat after the other man unlocked it. He thought for a second and buckled up; deciding Eiichi probably drove like a crazy old lady without her glasses.
Jin
"Okay," Jin said agreeably, shrugging his slender shoulders. He brushed his hair out of his eyes, laying his head back on the pillow, stretching out his long legs over the other end of the couch. "So... Now that I know nothing about you... Anything you want to know about me?"
Eiichi
Shaking his head, Eiichi scratched his head. "No, it's not that. You just took me by surprise. Why don't we copntinue this conversation in the car? It's just over there." He pointed across the lot towards a stylish red BMW sportscar. "Let's go!"
Rafael u.u
Rafael blinked. "I'm making you uncomfortable. I'm very sorry. Do you want me to stop?"
Eiichi
Spluttering, Eiichi stared at Rafael again. "What?!"
Rafael, the Curious
"Alright," Rafael replied. He pushed his hands into the pockets and asked in an honestly curious voice, "why did you want to seduce me? Do you try and seduce everyone? On average, how often does it work?"
Kiyaru
Setting his bag down beside the armchair, Kiyaru flopped down in it, sinking back into the plush upholstery. "No thanks. Although, it's nice of you to offer." He glanced around the room briefly with slight curiosity, before settling his wine red eyes on the other once more.
Jin
Jin smiled and led him down the hallway, opening a door, again making Kiya step under his arm before he closed it and flopped down on one of the comfy-looking couches. "Sit," he offered, pointing to a chair next to him. He smiled sweetly at the boy. "Want a soda or something? On me..."
Eiichi
Through his laughter, Eiichi answered. "You don't have a clue, do you? I'm trying to SEDUCE you, and you're oblivious!" Swallowing his laughter, he walked over to Rafael. "But just forget that. Let's go get that coffe, ne?"
Kiyaru
Kiyaru sighed slightly as he considered this. Shrugging again, he glanced back over at Jin. "Sure, I guess..." Why not? It was only ten minutes, anyway... couldn't hurt. With that, he followed the older boy off down the hall.
Rafael ;D
Rafael turned around and cocked his head at Eiichi, melon green eyes still holding that almost child-like curiosity.
"What's so funny?" His voice wasn't a snap, merely questioning. And though he didn't know why the other man was laughing, he felt his flower petal soft lips twitch into a smile. Odd.
Eiichi. *Blink blink.*
Staring after the brunette, Eiichi looked down at the bag on his shoulder, and blinked, before starting to laugh at the hilarity of it all. Here he was, trying to get into the man's pants, but Rafael was oblivious to all his come ons, and was suspicious of friendly gestures!
Rafael
Rafael blinked at Eiichi's extended elbow and calmly slung his heavy bag over the other man's shoulder before beginning to walk towards the parking lot.
Ei-kun
Eiichi laughed, holding out his elbow for Raf to take. "Your wish is my command."
Jin who is getting ideas
Jin watched him with a slight smirk. So innocent... He wondered how innocent Kiya actually was. He followed the young boy inside, checking the clock inside the door. "You still have ten minutes before class." He smiled at Kiya. "Wanna go relax in the student lounge for a few minutes?"
Rafael
"Starbucks," Rafael replied, turning off his CD player before shoving his headphones into his bag. He flipped through his book quickly before marking a page with a bookmark and managed to get that into the over-stuffed pack as well.
Kiyaru
Burgundy eyes blinked, before closing briefly; a faint, barely noticeable blush spreading over the ivory white skin of the younger boy where slightly curly, stark black lashes lightly touched his faintly defined cheekbones. "Thanks." He said, a bit sheepishly. "And there might be... but nothing I really feel like sharing." With that he pushed open the door to the next building as they approached it, heading in.
Ei-kun... Oi, I'm confused...
Once again feeling as if he missed something important, Eiichi simply nodded. "Second Cup or Starbucks? Your choice. I'll drive."
Rafael
Rafael blinked. "I would ask you if you were hitting on me. Are you still buying me coffee?" He moved to almost clumsily brush his olive brown hair behind his ears; melon eyes focused on Eiichi with unyielding curiosity and interest.
Ei-kun
Eiichi face faulted, staring at the man in front of him in disbelief.
"Well, are you?"
Blinking, he collected himself quickly and flashed Raf a smile. "And if I was?"
Mr. Tact (Rafael)
Rafael, ever the tactful one, asked the first thing that came to find. "Are you trying to get me in bed?"
Ei-kun
Almost running into Rafael again, the blonde blinked, looking at the older student. "Something wrong?" When the other shook his head, Eiichi smiled. "C'mon. I'll buy you a coffee and we can work on this assignment."
Jin
"I'm sure there's SOMETHING about you I'd like to hear," Jin said nonchalantly, causually reaching over and tucking a few more strands of Kiya's silky soft hair behind his ear ever so gently, so as not to frighten the teen. He smiled softly. "You have really pretty hair."
Rafael
Rafael nodded silently in response and turned to leave, deciding he wanted coffee. Or maybe a hot shower. Or a nap. He paused to consider, almost in mid-stride.
Eiichi!
Blinking, Eiichi tipped his head slightly, before he nodded. "Yeah... You?" Reaching into his bag, he checked to make sure that nothing had broken.
Kiyaru
The raven-haired youth shrugged, adjusting the strap of his bag on his shoulder. "Not much to tell, really." He said simply. It wasn't entirely a lie... A gust of wind picked up; ruffling at the baggy, plain white t-shirt he wore, his short, fluffy black locks swirling untamed about his face. He didn't pay much mind to his hair though, absently brushing a few strands behind his ear, before stuffing his hand back into one pants pocket.
Rafael
Rafael nodded as he stood, making sure the CD player sitting inside his bag was still working as he fixed his headphones. He paid no attention to Eiichi, and was surprised to find the man still there. He asked the first thing that came to mind, "do you have a free period?"
I choose you, Eiichi!!!!
(OOC: No, I'm not a pokemon fan. Nooooot at alllll...)
"N-No, you don't have to." Eiichi reached out and took the laptop from Raphael's hand. "Are you alright?"
Rafael yo~
Rafael watched Eiichi, tilting his head again, almost like a robot. "I'm sorry." He said simply, beginning to collect his things. "Would you like some help?" He added, as an after thought. People tended to get moody when you ran into them and knocked their stuff down, even if it was an accident.
Eiichi!!
Eiichi had about two second's warning before he crashed into someone coming from the other direction, his eyes having been closed to enjoy the music he had on. Falling, his bag fell from his arms, laptop skittering across the hall and headphones being pulled off his ears painfully.
"Watch where you're..." He trailed off, staring into Raphael's melon green eyes in surprise.
Jin
Jin's eyes were fastened on the seat of Kiya's jeans as he stooped underneath him. He ran the tip of his tongue over his lips, then slid out the door after him, catching up to him. "So... tell me about yourself, chibi."
Dig the Rafael goodness
Rafael was blind to the world, Nine Inch Nails blaring into his ears; nose tucked into a book about criminal psychology. He was currently reading a small section about the Zodiac killer when a body slammed into his gangly frame, sending him falling with a squeal.
Kiyaru
"Hai, well, he's certainly better than most of the teachers I've met so far..." He paused briefly as the other opened the door for him, eyeing him, before stooping, swiftly slipping under his raised arm and out the door.
Jin
Jin strode down the long hallway towards the door, glancing back to make sure Kiya was following him. "So, I hope your first class went well." He smiled at the brunette. "Mr. Grey is really cool, and not bad looking either." He pushed open the door that led outside, stepping aside to let Kiya pass, but making sure his arm was positioned so Kiya had to pass under it to get out.
Ei-kun's jeeealous!
Casting a glance at the brunette and Jin, Eiichi sighed, reaching into his bag and pulling out a pair of head phones before hooking them over his ears. He had a free period now for him to sit down and work on their assignment, though he was disappointed that Lan or Aethan Grey hadn't come out of the class at the same time as the rest of them.
Hitting play on his CD player, the heavy strains of Sonne by Rammestein blared into his ears, and he took off across the campus to find an uncrowded place to sit down and work.
Kiyaru
Kiyaru chuckled slightly, brushing his hair back out of his eyes absently as he strode alongside the senior down the hall. "'Rigato. Jin."
Jin
Jin made a slight face. "Ugh, that's sure to be boring... That building is all the way across campus. But, yeah, I know where it is. I can show you." He moved closer to Kiya. "And the name's Jin, thank you."
Kiyaru
Kiya glanced up as a voice greeted him upon leaving the classroom, only to find himself face to face with that senior from earlier once more. "Hey again..." He replied, already heading off down the hallway. He slipped his folded timetable from the pocket of his tight, faded blue jeans, noting his next class before stuffing it back, glancing briefly back up at the older boy. "Ne, Hitashi-san, you wouldn't happen to know where Mr. Fujikage's class is, would you?"
Jin
Jin was leaning against the wall by the water fountain across from the room, as if he had stood there ever since he got kicked out of the freshman class, even though he had in actuality only been there for two minutes. His eyes traveled over the little group of boys that trouped out, glancing over Rafael once, then finally spotting Kiya. He smiled at the smaller boy. "Hey."
Eiichi! @__@
Blinking, Eiichi stared at the other boy for a while. 'My god... Those eyes... They're amazing...' It wasn't until Grey told them that they had fifteen minutes left that he realised how much time had passed, and hurriedly got to work.
(OOC: Jumping to after class now!!)
Walking out of class behind Raphael, Eiichi looked back, hoping to see both the brunette from earlier, as well as Lan. If Jin pressed his suit on the brunette, then he wouldn't bother, but if not...
Kiyaru
Kiya smiled at the blonde as he handed back the fallen notes, a warm gleam to his wine red eyes as he glanced over at the other from behind his hair. "No problem." He replied simply, a friendly tone to his voice, before glancing back down at his own notes.
Eiichi makes his move
Flipping open the handout, Eiichi set it down on the desk, pages hanging over the edge of the desk as he opened a word document on the laptop. Accidentally brushing the handout with his elbow, the paper slid to the floor next to his desk. Bending down to grab it, his fingers brushed those of the brunette Jin had been talking with earlier.
"Thanks."
Kiyaru
Kiyaru listened attentively to Grey as the assignment was presented to the class, absently accepting the handout as it was handed to him and flipping to the first page of notes. He sighed slightly, eyes wandering across the text. He was glad the teacher had finally arrived. He hated being unnoccupied for so long. He was the type to get bored rather quickly. Conversation had run dry, and that blue-haired guy was making him uncomfortable... Reaching for a pen and his note book, he began to jot down some quick notes on what he beleived would be relevant to the class discussion later.
Lan
He took the papers from the teacher wordlessly and made his way towards the few students, handing out the papers, while absently reading through one himself. He had heard about this Wilde person before, not that he remembered much, aside from the fact that he was a dead, gay poet. By the way...was it just his imagination or were the people in this room checking each other out with more than just casual interest? Lan sighed as he lay down the last paper. Typical his luck, that he would end up in a class full of gays. As if his band wasn´t enough already... Maybe kami was trying to tell him something by shoving it right into his..na, better not go there.
Aethan (who is giving out a handout on a gay author from nineteenth century England)
Aethan let a smile pass his lips briefly as he looked at Lan. "I don't think you'll have too much work to do in here," he said. Then he dug into his briefcase, long, dexterous hands searching for the right paper. Finding them, he pulled out a packet of handouts and gave them to Lan. "Could you pass these out, please," he requested, before turning his attention to the class. "This handout is information on the first author we are going to be studying -- Oscar Wilde. Read it, and read it thoroughly. We will be having a class discussion in twenty minutes."
Lan
"Yes, Kusanagi Lan." A smirk ghosted over his lips as he slipped down from his perch and bowed lightly. "At your service Grey-sensei."
Aethan
Aethan turned to the black-haired boy still next to his desk. "Are you the teacher's aide?" he asked, voice calmer. He didn't want to give the impression of being just an uptight prick.
Lan
Silently Lan watched the exchange between Eiichi and Grey. He still sat perched onto the teachers desk, having no intention of moving anytime soon. No way he would give up his firstrow seat for the drama or comedy unfolding here.
Eiichi
Supressing a flush, Eiichi threw a dirty look at the red head and opened the lap top he'd purchased instead of noteboks and binders.
Rafael
Rafael watched Grey avidly and decided suddenly that pissing him off would be a very bad idea.
He turned his attention towards Eiichi when the student spoke and titled his head to the side. He watched the student and teacher interact, taking in speech patterns and body language.
Aethan
Aethan bit back a smirk. This one would be a challenge. Good. It had been awhile since Aethan had had one. "Thinking," he replied, "is encouraged in this classroom. As long as the thought pertains to the subject. Somehow I don't believe that's where your mind was wandering."
Eiichi ...eep.
Blinking as Grey's voice startled him, Eiichi shook his head. "No sir. Just thinking." He smirked, wondering how much it would take to irk the teacher. If he was anything like the professors back in California, it wouldn't be too hard to make Grey move him to the front row. "That is, if you don't have anything against thinking...?"
Aethan
Aethan drew wire-rimmed reading glasses out of his shirt pocket, and put them on, trying to keep his mind where it belonged -- in the classroom -- instead of the article he was writing for the local English-print newspaper. He was lucky he'd got the job in Tokyo. They wouldn't have one anywhere else in Japan. Moving behind his desk, he picked up a piece of chalk and wrote his name on the board in katakana. Turning back to the class, he spoke. "I'm Aethan Grey. I am your English Literature teacher. This is a small class because very few of you will be up to the demands I -will- place on you. You may have guessed from the British accent that I am English. Classes will be conducted in Japanese, but papers are to be in English. I do mark off heavily for spelling and grammar mistakes. You will want to watch that." He noted the way Eicchi was watching him, and turned to address him. "Do you see something interesting, Tokanu-san?"
La la la... EIICHI!
Feeling as if he was missing something, Eiichi returned to his seat, frowning slightly as he looked around. There were only a handful of students in this class, Lan, and Mr. Grey. Turning his attention to the professor, he let his gaze wander over the man.
From his accent when he had spoken earlier, the blonde guessed that he was British, and he had the looks to go wih it. Aquiline nose, high cheek bones and a firm jaw combined with amazing dark aqua eyes and auburn hair to make a stunning combination. Belatedly, Eiichi realized that all the students in this class were highly attractive in some way or another.
Rafael o_o Wheee~!
Rafael turned to look at Grey as he stood. "Yes, sir."
He turned to the other student and replied, "Rafael Brite." Without another word, he moved to sit into his seat, books tucked lazily under one arm.
Ei-kun to the rescue!!
Blinking as the red head who'd run into him earlier spoke to the brunette infront of him, Eiichi realized that the man was their teacher, even though he was only a few years older than they.
"Here, let me help you up." Taking 'Brite's' hand, he pulled the other man to his feet. "I'm Eiichi Tokanu. You are...?"
