Yami: Thanks for all the reviews, I feel so special. It's a nice change of pace. I don't get a lot of appreciation here at home. So thank you to everyone who's followed this story. Hikari chan says thank you to Sakural7865, and that she's feeling better already. Oh, and for anyone wondering why Ryan gave Alice the coffee... She was drinking decaf, and figured it'd work as a placebo effect.

7. Think Twice. Eve 6

Haou watched the class boredly, his eyes raking over all the student. A ravenette was scruitinizing him; his two layered hair stuck up in the back. His black eyes were trying to pierce through his defenses. Haou didn't let him through, instead turned his eyes on the blonde next to him.

She was tracing his features with bright blue eyes, and he could read every emotion in them. He inwardly smirked; this girl might be fun to mess with… She looked scared, yet intrigued… And was trying to press into the ravenette from before, who was sharing the two person desk with her.

There was a tan teen with a bandaged covered eye, and a cowboy hat. A spikey haired brunette with a red bandana keep his hair from his eyes, and a longer haired blonde who was sitting with him.

Finally, gold eyes landed on the bluenette that he would be sitting with. He was cute, Haou had to admit. Bright emerald eyes- though they weren't only green, he noticed.- under teal hair, and pale porcelin skin. He was eyeing him, eyebrows drawn together.

"Haou, would you like to say anything?" The old woman… Wait, that was a guy. Uh, Crowler asked.

"…" he sighed softly. "I'm Haou, Jaden Yuki's older twin brother. I don't really like people, and I dislike the way you people are looking at me. So stop it."

The shorter haired blonde jumped, turning her eyes away. Haou allowed a small smirk to grace his lightly tanned features. "You can take your seat, now."

Haou sunk back into his seat, leaning forward to rest both elbows on the desk. Crowler began to drone, and Haou sent his eyes to the window behind the ravenette. The sky was a light blue, and he could see the blue topped building he'd be staying in, and sighed.

Wonder where Little Brother is…?

~*With Jaden*~

Jehu yawned again, pulling a hand out of his pocket to rub away the tears that came with the action. He surveyed the room, grinning at the two toned brunette that had spoken to him. He was definitely cute. Those dark brown eyes were probing his own orange.

Might haveta hit that.

"Want to say anything about yourself?"

"Heh, for those who want to compare me to my goody two-shoes brother, don't bother. We're only alike in appearance and our sexuality." He snickered, running a hand through his blue hair. "And damn, there are some cute boys in here. What's that kid's name?" he nodded at the two toned brunette. He earned a dirty look from a brunette guy in a dark tank top.

"You may take your seat now, Mr. Anderson." The teacher said. Jehu winked at a few of the boys in the class as he took his seat.

"What is your name, cutie?" he asked in a low voice when he had taken his seat by the brunette. He'd finally crawled back into his seat, and was eyeing him oddly.

"Jaden, but you can call me Taken," he quipped. A teen in front of them- the blonde- reached his hand behind him and high fived the grinning boy.

*~Lunch~*

"Little Brother? Little Brother~" Haou called through the halls, his hands in the pocket of his long jacket. He finally caught sight of his younger brother, and ran towards him. He set a hand on the shorter brunette'sd shoulder, making him look up.

"A-Ah, Big Brother," Jaden almost dropped the lunch tray he'd just picked up. "How's your first day, going?" Haou allowed the tiniest smile through his defenses and allowed his brother to lead him through the lunch line.

"So far, uneventful. Though, I do believe I met a friend or two of yours."

"Really?" Jaden looked up, smiling as he grabbed a paper tray filled with fried shrimp. His mirror image copied him, and the two grabbed bottles of Sprite and Coke. "Which one?"

"One had teal hair, one blonde and the other this… Odd black hair."

"Jesse, there's a few blondes, and Chazz… Though if it was Chazz it was probably Ryan or Alexis."

"Maybe." Jaden led him to the table his friends already sat at. Except Jesse, who was probably getting his food. Haou nodded at Ryan. "That blonde."

"Ryan Cormack." Jaden quipped. He waited a moment before pouting. "Haaou, some guy was hitting on me!"

"Which one?" Haou looked around, eyes narrowed. If his little brother didn't want it, who were they to hit on him? (AN Yami: *squeal* Protective Big Brother Haou is so cute!)

"He's Jesse's brother, apparently." The older brunette twin looked around, eyes landing and an arguing set of bluenettes. The shorter one, in the pale blue hoodie was yellign at the taller, leather clad one. The leather clad one held his lunch tray with one hand, the other pressed to his forehead as he listened to the one carrying his tray with both hands.

"You can't just hit on him! He's a teacher, Jehu! A teacher!"

"I thought it was a she!"

"His name's Crowler! Crowler!"

"Ah, hot damn! There's two sexy brunette's over there!" Jesse looked at the pair his brother was refering to, and twitched.

"Jehu Yubel Anderson!" he shouted after the bluenette that had run towards his friends. The older twin turned to glare as he walked backwards towards the table.

"Don't call me that, or I'll tell everyone your middle name!"

"It's Johan." Jehu glanced down at Jaden who was leaning into his own mirror image. He sat next to him, effectively taking Jesse's spot. "We all know it, he told us as a sign of faith."

"Damn, Jess. How'd you land this cutie as a friend?" Jehu glanced at his brother who bristled. He grinned when he saw a flash of jealousy and anger flash through his eyes. "And I guess this must be your brother, huh Jaden?" he leaned around him to look at the black clad brunette. Haou had his eyes closed as he tried to remain calm.

"This is my older brother, Haou." Jaden got up and moved to the other side of the table, sitting between his best friend and Chazz. "Haou this is the guy that hit on me."

"You did what? He's straight, Jehu!" Jesse yelled, the same time a fist flung itself at the older bluenette's jaw. Jehu barely managed to dodge the blow, and he grinned. He looked over at Haou and stopped. Gold eyes locked with orange, the former daring the latter to do something.

"My brother's not straight… Jesse. However, I will not allow someone he doesn't want, to hit on him."

"Haou!" Jaden turned a lovely shade of red, and Jesse choked on his Coke. "You can't just go around telling lies!"

Haou slowly turned to look at Jaden, confusion written on his face. "You mean, you're straight?" Jaden hid his face in his arms, groaning. "We all thought you were gay."

"what do you mean, 'we'? Who else-"

"Mother and father." The younger brunette froze, trying hard not to look at anyone. His face felt hot, and he was embarassed. "Do your friends not know?"

"I… hadn't gotten around to telling them."

"We knew." Chorused from everyone except the Anderson's. Jesse looked kind of hurt, and he reached out to touch his friend's shoulder.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want you to hate me… I know it's stupid, but I heard rumours about where you're from…"

"Jaden, me and my brother are both gay." Jesse said gently. "We're not like other Southerner's, promise."

"Though, I bet anyone'd go gay for you," Jehu interjected, earning a sharp jab to his ribs. He scowled at Haou who's eyes were half lidded again.

"Jaden, perhaps you and your…" Haou lookd lost as he fumbled to force the word past his lips. "Friends, would be inclined to show me what there is to do in any found free time, near here."

Jaden smiled brightly, him and Jesse having made up already. "Sure thing, Big Brother! But… it's a Monday, so we'll have to wait." The older brunette nodded, his gold eyes staring at the ceiling.

The day ended shortly, thankfully. Haou retired to his room early, buried deep into the blankets on his bed. He never did stay up to meet his roommate, was the last thought coursing through his mind before sweet peace claimed him.

Jehu snuck into his dorm room, not wanting to wake whoever was sleeping in the other bed. He snickered, stripping to his boxers. He couldn't wait to face Jesse in the morning. He peeked at the other bed, which seemed to have a smallish lump in the middle, and five diferent blankets. He grinned, lifting up the blankets enough to see a familiar mop of hair.

"Oh, hot damn." He whispered, before sneaking over to his own bed. A smirk graced his lips as he stretched out under the comforter. "Hehehe..."

Yami: Wow, I made Jehu kinda creepy. *blush* and I know the next few chapter's are gonna suck. I have no experience in alot of what they're gonna do, so... And eventually, there will be a chappie in which Ryan finally admits her feelings... Maybe...
