Right now, there is only one relationship going on, ok?

Hi-hi minna! Konnichiwa all for the Dragon Knights page! ^^ ((Great site- - go to the message board! We need new people~!))

Expect this chapter to be shorter- the last one was long...! At least, for me it was. And also, it's a pretty diverse campus... I dun know too much bout college, so please let me get away with that!

...I'm being poked.

And I will note that there may be lemon within the next few chapters, depending on whether or not you people want it. **stares at all the people from the message board** Need I ask?

Chapter 2-

 ((Earlier that morning))

"I'll see you, ok?" Ruwalk told the light blue-haired young man next to him.

"It's not fair; you don't have classes this morning." Alfeegi pouted.

Ruwalk smiled. "You're the one over-working yourself."

Alfeegi checked his watch. "Oh my, I have to go. I'll see you later!"

Ruwalk smirked lightly as he grabbed Alfeegi by the hair, tugging him back and planting a small kiss on his lips. "Feegi, really, leaving without a proper good bye?"

Alfeegi smiled. "Fine." He gave him a light kiss as well. "I'll see you at lunch, Ruw." And now he walked off at a content pace to his classes.

Ruwalk watched him walk off, a serene smile on his face. They had been dating for about half-a-year now- Saturday was their six month anniversary. Laughing at nothing, he started heading towards the campus library.

He noticed steps behind him. Turning, he saw Kaistern walking at a quicker pace to catch up.

"Hey." Ruwalk waved.

"Morning." Kaistern answered. "Are you going to the library?"

"Yeah. Not really to do anything, but it's something." He said briskly, holding his head up high. "Are you ok?"

"Yes, I just had a rough morning. It was Rath's first day of school, and he broke his alarm clock." Kaistern chuckled. "I hope he doesn't cause too much trouble."

"Rath?" Ruwalk mocked. "Never! How dare you question it?"

That got a laugh from both of them. "But I swear, if I get word that he's gotten into any fights today, I don't know what I'll do." He pushed up on the noseband of his glasses. "So, are you and Alfeegi going to do anything special this week?"

Ruwalk shrugged. "Saturday... go out to dinner, see a movie, and not even think about homework..."

"He's willing to forget about homework?!" Kaistern's eyes widened good-naturedly.

"Well, those are my plans at least. I haven't exactly talked to him about the 'no homework' policy."

"Hey, while we're at the library, can you help me on some of my studying?" Kaistern indicated his backpack.

"Sure, I guess... I'm not very good at law."

"I just need help finding some books and quizzing. My professor is certainly some sort of demon- maybe I'll tell Rath. There's this one show he keeps watching every chance he gets about demons and fighting with a lot of cursing. It's a very immature show."

Ruwalk didn't want to admit it, but if they were thinking of the same show, he was also a fan.

"And since then, Rath has started an obsession with trying to find demons and kill them. He nearly killed the neighbor's cat!"

"Kaistern, breath in, breath out. It's a phase; he'll get over it soon enough."

"Fine then."

They entered the library and sat down at one of the tables. The library was large and other students on their off-time were lounging around and either reading or studying. Ruwalk didn't see why they were all so worried. Then again, he often got ranted at by Alfeegi to not take college so light-heartedly. What did it matter? Computer sciences were quite easy for Ruwalk. He thought of Alfeegi ranting and stifled a laugh.

"Hm?" Kaistern asked, pulling out a law textbook.

"Just thinking about Feegi ranting. I wonder, how is he so good at it? When he does, you just have to pay attention." Ruwalk sighed.

"No, that's just you." Kaistern opened his textbook and started reading.

"What?" Ruwalk asked quietly, flushing slightly. "What about you? Have you ever gone on a date before?"

"I was dating that girl junior year."

"Oh, right. What ever did happen to her?"

"I followed Tetheus' advice and dumped her. Didn't feel she was right for me. I felt my interest in her ebbing as I grew fond- never mind."

Ruwalk was too dazed to hear his mistake, and Kaistern was both angry at him for zoning him out and glad for not having to explain what he was about to say.

Kaistern groaned and shook his head. If he was going to tell someone, he wouldn't mind it being Ruwalk- he was really laid back and casual. He was someone to whom it seemed like you could tell anything. A perfect complement to Alfeegi's worrying about every little thing. Humph, maybe Ruwalk could even keep Alfeegi from graying before the age of thirty.

And while they were at it, Alfeegi could get Ruwalk to straighten up a little. How was he going to survive college? The idiot...

Alfeegi tried to listen to his professor, but couldn't bring himself to doing so. He kept on picturing Ruwalk in his mind. Damn it Ruw, you're going to get me in trouble with my professor without even knowing it, or being here for that matter.

Saturday... Saturday was coming quickly- but, unfortunately, not quickly enough.

Click! Pencil hits the desk. Click! Again it hits. Click! Again it hits.

"Ruwalk!" Alfeegi yelled at him. "I have homework to do. I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but if there's no good reason for your being here, I ask that you leave so I can finish. I'm afraid that I have college applications to fill out and that I'm behind on one of my projects, and-"

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll still get valedictorian." Ruwalk smiled.

"And you! You take your work too easily! Just yesterday you didn't turn in your report for English. And it hurts to know your grades are falling, and I feel I'm the cause of it."

"Is that the only reason it hurts?"

Alfeegi stopped to stare at him. "What?"

"Alfeegi, I... I-I... I feel that... I'm in love with you." Ruwalk turned away, unable to look at him for fear of disappointment.

"Ruwalk, I..." Alfeegi put a hand on his arm and turned him around. "I... I don't know what to-"

"Don't say anything." He answered, embracing him close. "Just breathe, and don't say a word."

Alfeegi smiled and closed his eyes... and he didn't say another word.

"You! The one that's dozed off..." The professor checked the seating chart. "Ah, Alfeegi!"

Alfeegi popped to attention. "Yes ma'am?"

"Tell me, if demand for..." Back to zoning out.

What's with this professor? Oh, nothing. What's with me? I used to enjoy listening to long lectures... err, as much as anyone could. But now I can't seem to keep a firm grasp. Damn it, it's all Ruw's fault...

And he hadn't gotten valedictorian- only salutatorian. This, he supposed, was better than nothing.

One may wonder, if he had done so well, why did he chose to come to this diverse college instead of one of the higher ranking ones in the country? Ah, but the answer all resided in the same reason he was zoning out.

Ruw... I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you, resurrect you, and then probably kiss you. Yeah, that sounds fun.

But... what am I going to do? I mean, I can stay here for about two years, but then I really want to use my scholarships to some of the better colleges. But that means I could get transferred. This is a great college, and not that cheap either... but there are ones that are more focused on business out there, and I need the experience. But if I leave here, what about Ruw? Then I wouldn't get to see him very often, and long-distance relationships almost never work out, and I don't want to leave him. Life... why?

Alfeegi now brushed all thoughts from his mind and tried to concentrate on note-taking.

Luckily, the professor had decided not to call on him to answer the question.

It was two years from now, and he could have plenty of time to talk it over with Ruwalk. Or by then, they could be normally broken up. He didn't want that, but that inevitably happened in most relationships. But still...

Were he not in class, Alfeegi would have started banging his head on the desk. But as said, he was in class, and he imagined that loud, banging sounds coupled with the losing of brain cells from one of the students would disturb the lesson greatly.

And there went his hand, doodling on his notes.

Tetheus was in his Psychology course while all of this was going on. His main focus was in law enforcement, and that included being able to coax people during hostage situations, or otherwise.

He kept perfect attention on what the professor said, and clean, un-doodled notes done in pen.

Yet, despite this, he did wish that he was nearly anywhere but here. He wished that it was lunch time now so that he could talk- or listen- to his other friends. Even if Ruwalk was very apathetic when it came to work, Alfeegi was the complement to that with his over-achiever attitude and Kaistern... Kaistern sat there and calmed them down while working on his essay pre-writes. And he, Tetheus, would sit there and listen to them, once in a while giving advice.

He and his younger siblings- Shydeman and Shyrendora- had moved here at the halfway mark of his sophomore and the twins' sixth grade year. That's when Shydeman met Fedelta, Shyrendora met her friends who all eventually become popular, and Tetheus met all of them.

Laughing to himself on the inside, Tetheus would never admit to them, but he deeply enjoyed their company- as corny as that may have sounded. Very deep down, but it was there.

Or maybe the lacking of actual thought processes was getting to him. Yeah, that was probably it.

"The psychology of the human brain... is one of the most complex sciences known to man." The professor went on.

"Ruw!" Alfeegi ran up and hugged him tightly.

"Hey Feegi. Ready for lunch?" Ruwalk asked, used to the displays of affection.

Alfeegi answered him in nods. Smiling, he let Ruwalk go and complacently took his hand. Ruwalk also smiled in return.

"Hey, where's Tetheus?" Kaistern asked. He soon answered his own question. "Oh, there he is."

The four gathered in one group, Alfeegi leaning on Ruwalk, paying no heed to the others walking around them. If they couldn't stand the thought of two guys together, then too bad.

"So, where are we going today?" Alfeegi asked.

"Well, let's see... there are plenty of fast food restaurants-"

"No." Alfeegi and Kaistern interjected at the same time.

"And um..." Ruwalk smiled nervously. "I don't quite know."

Tetheus cleared his throat. "There's an Olive Garden five miles down the road and a Fridays right next to it. Or, there's a Bennigan's somewhere or other and an Outback."

"Bennigan's?" Kaistern asked.

"Sure, why not?"

"Kaistern, you're driving."

"Why?"

"Your car's closest to the entrance of the parking lot." Ruwalk quickly added, "Plus, my corvette isn't big enough..."

Alfeegi glared at him. "You keep boasting about that car."

Ruwalk reached up and casually tugged his hair. "I would brag about you, but the majority of the populous would not want to hear about my boyfriend."

Alfeegi sighed and rolled his eyes, shaking his head and causing Kaistern to chuckle.

Kaistern pulled out his car keys as they neared his van (he often had to carpool Rath and other kids) and pushed the unlock button on the remote. As he slid into the driver's seat, Tetheus drew into the passenger's seat and the other two slid open the side door.

When they arrived at the restaurant, something happened.

"I can't get out... I'm stuck!" Alfeegi whined, pulling on the handle of the door in a frantic way. "Why won't it open? I'm stuck!"

Ruwalk cleared his throat after a few moments, holding the door on his side of the van open.

Alfeegi was silent as he stared at them. "It won't open for me."

Tetheus, who had gotten out on that side, but in the front, opened the door for him from the outside.

"So..." Ruwalk stirred his tea around and started poking his fork at his empty plate.

"How was class?" Alfeegi asked, always much better at polite conversation than certain apathetic people.

"Just great." Tetheus replied.

Kaistern looked up from his drink. "I finished my report... with the help of Ruwalk." He added this last part as Ruwalk gave him a pointed look.

"Hey, when is everyone's class start this afternoon?" Alfeegi asked.

"Well, mine starts at three, and I believe it's the earliest." Ruwalk commented.

"We have after three and a half hours." Kaistern looked at his watch. "Why don't we go see a movie?"

"Yeah!" Ruwalk and Alfeegi agreed nearly right away.

"As long as those two don't create their own show..." Tetheus pointed at the couple, who in turn flushed sheepishly.

"Which movie?" Kaistern asked, checking his watch.

"Darkness Falls is still out..." Ruwalk suggested, rather fond of scary movies.

"But..." Alfeegi tried to protest, only to be stopped with Ruwalk's hand over his mouth.

"Ok then." Tetheus nodded.

They paid the bill and left.

"I wonder..." Kaistern said as he sat in the driver's seat and turned on the ignition. "I have yet to get any calls from the school about Rath causing trouble. Should I be worried?" He started chuckling. "This could be because my phone's been off, but oh well."

After another traumatizing experience of 'the door won't open for me!' they got to the theatre. This time, Alfeegi had forgotten to unlock the door.

Because the movie is too long and traumatizing for the poor author, highlights will be added here:

At the beginning of the movie, when the poor lady is killed and stuff, Alfeegi propped his legs up into his chair and hugged them close to him, rocking back and forth and whispering, "I hate scary movies, I hate scary movies!" He squeezed his eyes shut as it moved to the second part.

As surprising as it was for the AMC 30 to have no people in the lunch break, the theatre that they were in was completely empty, except for the four.

"Feegi, calm down. It isn't even the scary part yet."

As the movie progressed into the part where the main characters mother was killed, Ruwalk lifted the arm bar between them and let Alfeegi lean against him, trying to prevent him from shaking. Sighing, he shook his head. "Feegi's not going to get sleep tonight, and in turn, I won't either."

"I notice something." Kaistern commented in a whispered tone, despite the lacking of other viewers. "The sound effects seem to be the scariest part of the movie. The visuals aren't bad. So... in other words, if you have your eyes shut, and this movie is based on danger from the darkness, you don't see what is making the sounds and it just makes it dark for you, rendering the brain into higher amounts of fear."

"Logic." Ruwalk shook his head. "My greatest weakness."

Alfeegi slowly opened one of his eyes, peering at the screen.

By the time the scene in the woods outside the bar came, all four of them were peering intently at the screen, Alfeegi only sometimes burying himself into Ruwalk's chest and Kaistern wishing he had something/someone to huggle. He thought about this as he drank down some mostly-diluted Coke. Scary movies didn't sit so well with him either. He put a finger in his left ear and watched the rest of the movie.

"You know," Ruwalk commented, "the costuming of the tooth fairy reminds me of Larva."

"Who?"

"Someone on one of the shows he watches." Alfeegi shook his head. "It's too bloody of a show."

Towards the ending, Tetheus stared at the screen. The tooth fairy didn't look scary. The make up was about level with that of the vampires on Buffy- and those vampires looked funny. As Kaistern had noted, it was the sounds that made the movie. A movie like the Ring could have scared anyone without the sound due to horrifying visuals, but this movie was based on sounds that one couldn't identify in the darkness.

Hm, sleep wouldn't be hard tonight.

"Ruw..." Alfeegi whined as they walked towards the car.

"Yes Feegi, we can use a light tonight." Ruwalk rolled his eyes.

"Yay..." Alfeegi sighed. He usually never had problems sleeping in the dorm, but tonight... oh well, he could use his fear to an advantageous snuggle.

"Hey, we have class now, don't we?" Kaistern asked.

Tetheus nodded.

They arrived at the college about fifteen minutes before three. ("The door won't open! I'm stuck! Yes, it is unlocked! Help...") Ruwalk cursed this fact and idly wondered if he could be a little late. Alfeegi scolded him for his thoughts of truancy.

"Fine." Ruwalk grumbled. "I'll see you in a few hours." He leaned down and kissed Alfeegi's lips, meaning for just a quick peck, but getting a little caught up into a slow rush.

Alfeegi broke them off with a small smile. "Go on, I'll see you later."

Tetheus watched placidly for a little while. His class started in thirty minutes, and so he had time to spare.

Kaistern stood there, wondering different things. He wondered if he would ever be in such a relationship as what Ruwalk and Alfeegi had. He wouldn't mind, but... he sighed inaudibly. It wouldn't happen. Plus, he wasn't sure. That's why he wanted Ruwalk's advice earlier, but couldn't get it the question out of him.

As Tetheus left for class, leaving Kaistern and Alfeegi alone, the former stared blankly into his book. Both their classes started at four.

"Alfeegi?" Kaistern asked.

"Hm?" Looking up from his report, Alfeegi made eye contact.

"How-how did you know, way back then, that you liked Ruwalk?" he asked nervously.

Alfeegi smiled. "I just knew. I felt that I was in love with him in no way that I had felt before. Why?" Though he asked this, he felt he knew the answer already.

"So, finding out that you liked another guy was basically the same as any straight guy finding he liked a girl? There was no other shock?"

"Well, I was a little surprised." Alfeegi admitted sheepishly. "But it felt right, so I just accepted it."

"How long did you like him before he asked you out?"

"About... ten months, give or take a few days. Why?"

"Just... I don't know." He buried his head in his arms and on the table, letting his book fall with a small clatter. "I'm just confused about myself. I-I think I may be gay, but I'm not sure."

"Well, the guy you think you have feelings for, do you feel as if you'd die for him?"

"Yes, but I feel as if I would give my life for any one of you and for Rath if I needed to."

"Every time you him, do you feel like everything is ok? Do you feel as if the world is at peace finally and that nothing can go wrong?"

"No." Kaistern shook his head. "I don't feel that. I feel complacent, but I also feel that I'm going to profess my supposed feelings and that he'll leave me and never talk to me again. What are the chances of him being gay as well?"

"If I knew who it was, it may help..."

"You're pushing your luck."

Alfeegi laughed. "Don't worry; it'll turn out how it should. You'll be happy with how it is, even if it isn't love you feel for him, or if he doesn't feel for you. But I'm sure he does, and whoever he is, he's lucky."

Kaistern smiled. "Thanks Alfeegi."

Alfeegi closed his eyes and smiled brightly. "You're welcome."

I will now note that it will not necessarily go in the order of high school chapter, college chapter, high school, college. It will just go as I see fit... and well, they may be combined so that we see both in one chappie! In fact, most likely.

Ok, do you people mind/want lemon? I need to know, seeing as I will go with the majority vote. And I mean descriptive lemon, not hinted. And it'll be in a few chapters if so.
