Chapter 3
Morning came too early for the blonde agents. Blinking slowly, Martin sighed as he realized his sight still hadn't been returned to him. Not one to be downtrodden by that kind of thing, he sat up, ready to go through the motions of the day the best he could. Slipping his feet over the side of the bed, he faintly heard footsteps rushing over to him. He figured it was Marvin, though he was confused as to why the other was acting the way he was. "Marvin?" He asked, just to make sure it wasn't an intruder.
"It's me. Can you see?" The agent instantly regretted it. It seemed absurd that the other would ask if he was there with his pools open, grey and clouded. Feeling his face flush a deep red, he was glad the other couldn't see him at the moment. Closing the gaps between the beds, he extended his arm, letting his hand hover inches above the other's shoulder.
Martin scrunched his face up. Slowly shaking his head, he wondered how he was going to shower, if he would even do that at all. 'I showered last night that should be good enough.' He reasoned with himself. Hygiene was something he was never overly concerned about, but with a roommate he didn't know, he couldn't be sure it would stand with him.
Marvin didn't know what to do. Placing the hovering hand to his side, he tried to come up with something to say. Classes weren't going on for the day because of some school function that he had no interest in participating in, and he didn't know if Martin was planning on going. Figuring it was a good place to start, he thought of a way to word his sentence. "Are you going to the school function today?" Averting his pools to the ground, he shuffled his feet.
"No." The blind agent didn't even know there was a school function going on. Lifting his head to where he thought the voice was coming from, he asked the other the question. "Are you going?" Although he didn't want to, he supposed he could if it came down to it.
Marvin almost shook his head, before he stopped remembering the situation. He would have voiced his thoughts out loud, if he wasn't interrupted by a loud knock on the door. Walking over to the object, he placed his hand on the knob, turning it. Pulling the door open, he was met with Diana and Jen's smiling faces. "Hello. What brings you over here so early?" He raised an eyebrow, watching the girl's suspiciously.
Diana grinned, moving her body to look around the other's. "Is Martin up?" Her voice was painfully cheery as she rocked back and forth on the balls of her feet. 'I hate acting nice like this. It pains me.' She mentally recited her woes to herself. Holding back the sigh that was threatening to escape her, she widened her grin waiting for Marvin to answer or move.
"Yes." The blonde teen muttered softly, shifting his gaze to the two teens outside his door.
Jen decided that it was her turn to butt in. "Can Diana see him?" The plan they had formulated took a physical form, as the gears of motion set off.
Marvin slowly nodded, moving to the side to let the brunette pass. Now alone with the girl who had a crush on him, he felt an awkward silence rise. He didn't feel like breaking it.
"Can I talk to you? Alone?" Jen asked, letting a small blush appear on her face. Without waiting for the other to answer, she grabbed Marvin by the arm, and pulled him down the hallway. She planned on taking him to her empty dorm room.

Diana looked down at her blind half-brother, wondering the best way to get the information she wanted. 'I need to get him and Marvin together.' Filled with resolve she sat down on the bed, ignoring the slight jump from the other. "Martin…" She trailed off, letting the other know who it was. She was surprised when the other grinned, in a self-deprecating manner.
"Hey D. Here to taunt me about my problem?" The blonde teen didn't know why the sudden depression rolled over him, when he found out his visitor wasn't Marvin, but Diana. He knew there was no reason to act the way he was, but something made him lash out in anger. An emotion he usually never experienced. Unsure of what to call it, he just did what it wanted.
The brunette sat there for a moment. Anger flashed across her features, as her hands found her way to her hips. Leaning over, her face hovered inches away from Martin's. Huffing out a few deep breaths, she spoke in a low voice laced with anger. "How could you think I would do something like that?"
Martin winced, instantly regretting what he had said. Hanging his head, he let his feet swing back and forth on the bed, as he pushed himself back away from the other's face. "So…"
"So Martin what do you think of Marvin?" The bright woman cut off the other, not wanting to hear the apology. There would be time later. Leaning back to her former position, she examined the emotions running across Martin's face. The first thing she noticed was shock, followed by something akin to confusion, anger, then back to confusion. "Martin?" She asked when he still hadn't answered.
The blind man shook his head, trying to short out the feelings inside of him. 'How do I voice what I'm feeling?' The answer seemed simple, embarrassing, but simple. He would confide in his half-sister. Martin thought he could trust her with his life, so why not something as simple as the newest confusion in his life. "Uhm…" He didn't really know what to say. "Marvin?" His question came out as a high pitched squeak.
Chocolate pools blinked, as the owner stared at the blonde like he was stupid. Diana felt her anger get the best of her, but she reigned it in for the moment. It would do no good to get angry at the moment. Nodding slowly, she stopped when the fact that Martin couldn't see it hit her. "Yes Martin."
Her voice carried what she was feeling well enough to be caught by the thickheaded agent. "Well…" He shifted nervously, not sure how much he should confide in the other. "I used to hate him, but now I'm not too sure. I mean with him being so civil and acting more like a person it's kind of hard to say." Martin stopped, taking a deep breath, he looked up hopefully in the direction of the brunette. "I think I would like to be more to him then someone he needs to chauffeur around for the moment."
Diana took the moment to asses the emotions running over the other's face during the confession. Martin was a wreck. 'What should I do?' The normally calm demeanor gave way to panic. She couldn't let her family go through something like this. She had to help, and the only way would be to help put the blonde at ease. "Martin can I suggest something really absurd." She watched the other nod his head, slowly. "Do you think you could like him? As in want to go out with him?"
Martin gulped, assessing the confusion inside him. Would he like to be more to Marvin then a friend or sort of friend? The answer was yes, but did he really want to get into a relationship with another man? A part of him wanted to say no, the rest said yes though. "Yes." In his current disability, the teen completely missed the wicked smile growing across the other's face.
