"My you've grown…"

"You don't remember me do you?"

"I don't even know you! You don't know me and never touch me again!"

Purple eyes stared into honey coated gold, a smile on his face. He gestured for Krad to sit in the circle, Dark moving into a cross legged sit. He smiled as Krad sat in front of him, his golden eyes locked on his purple irises.

"Yep, I am always here" He smiled sadly and then laughed.

"So, Krad, how are you today?" Dark asked, his mind carefree and set on Krad. The blonde blinked.

"I-I'm fine…why…are you always here?" Krad whispered, his eyes never leaving the bright hues of purple. Dark made no movement as if in thought, he sighed and laughed again.

"So, what are your latest hobbies?" Dark asked, avoiding the question, Krad frowned.

"Why should I tell you?"

"You use to tell me all the time" Dark's smile never left his face.

"I use to?" Dark nodded.

The blonde sat still, his eyes examining Dark's face, the way his peachy flawless skin around Dark's eyes would move as he shut his eyes, the way his lips kept curved into that smile, the way his eyes sparkled in the moonlight, the way his eyelashes flutter up and down and his hair, as it glided down into his face, a blush formed on his heating face.

"Krad…are you feeling alright?" Concern laced Dark's soft voice as a hand reached for his forehead.

"Do you have a fever? You don't seem hot…" Dark's brow crossed as he checked the blondes temperature again, Krad jerked forward, making Dark jump slightly.

"A-I-I'm okay! Why are you worried anyway…" Krad's gaze shifted to the ground. He felt his face die down in the heat as he forced his blush away. He looked up.

"If you say so Krad…" Dark said, he smiled and sat back. His black suit covering his body, he watched Krad, waiting for him to say something, a smile still on his face.

"…H-how old are you?" Dark blinked. There was a pause as he thought about it.

"I'm" A sigh felt his lips as he counted with his fingers "299…300 sometime this year…ask the birds…" Dark smiled. Krad's mouth fell, the boy in front of him was 299 and he looked like a 15 year old. Krad frowned.

"What do you mean ask the birds?" Dark grinned.

"The birds know all" To prove his point the birds squawked in joy. Golden eyes looked up, he blinked. Suddenly a small gush of wind tickled his chest, he looked down. He was in just a pair of white trousers, his sleeping trousers. A blush filled his face.

"Krad?" He blushed deeper.

"I-I have to go!" With that he ran, his blush still on his face, Dark watched him leave, he waved even though the blonde probably didn't see.

"See you next time!" Dark yelled as he leant back and closed his eyes, his smile fading from his face as he released a sigh.

Krad ran into his bedroom. 'Stupid, stupid, stupid! Couldn't even tell I was topless!' Krad screamed in his head, his usually sinister mind now full of unwanted feelings. He blinked and looked at the clock. The time flashed brightly and there was a knock at his door. He walked towards it and ripped it open. His adoptive mother stood facing him, a nervous look in her eyes.

"I-if you don't leave now, y-you'll be late…" He huffed and slammed the door shut, before going into his room and changing. He grabbed his school kit and ran out of his room. His adoptive father glanced at him, watching as Krad grabbed the money on the table.

"…Honey…I think Krad's ill, he just picked up his dinner money for once…"

Krad ran faster, his eyes wide as he dashed to the horrid school, he didn't know why he was running, he just was. The necklace heated up as he turned the corner. The scene changed, he was running in the field of flowers again, Dark waving to him.

"Over here, it will take you to your school" Krad nodded his thanks and just as Dark said, it did. He blinked, he was in the school playground. Luckily no one saw him, he looked at the door behind him then with the grace of a cat, he slid in the main door, and walked towards his class room.

Krad sighed and flopped onto his seat, the necklace cold against his skin, he sighed and laid his cheek on the desk. His mind wandering towards Dark. He sighed again and glanced towards the teacher as she entered the class room, a surprise look on her face that was directed at Krad.

He smirked and laid his head back down, his mind still wandering on the dark haired male.

The bell rung signalling break, Krad stood and left, his hands in his pockets and his mind set on the roof, he walked up. He flung the door open and walked out, cold air hitting his face, stinging his eyes. Krad waltzed to the edge of the roof. Golden eyes blinked and peered down, glancing at the playfield, watching as students moved, their bodies, black dots against green.

He walked on the edge. He stopped. The door to the roof flung open. A small group of boys flocked out of the door, their eyes pinned on the blonde.

"Freak" one hissed. His charcoal eyes, glaring at him. Krad turned and looked towards him, his golden eyes cold and hard. He growled and looked at the boys.

"What do you want?" The boys smirked and neared him, their hands balled into fists. The leader, Takcane glared, his mouldy apple green eyes, looking into the golden pools of light. Takcane's white hair fell into his face. He smirked and cocked his head forward, a few of the boys nearing Krad.

"We want revenge and to teach you, you shouldn't murder…you murderer" Takcane hissed, he watched the boys near Krad. The blonde waited, fists were flung towards him, he grabbed the hands clutching the hands and bending them back, sickening cracks leaving the boys arms. He flung a few kicks to the boy's stomachs, they limped back, turned and ran. The small group fled, leaving Takcane on the roof, he growled and ran after them.

Krad grunted, his anger growing, his mind near to breaking, the necklace warmed up again, bringing him back to reality. He sighed and headed to his next lesson, the necklace still slightly warm.

Dark stood still, his purple eyes watching the sky. His eyes closed.
