Sorry for the shortness on the last one. I didn't realize how short it would actually look in the site. Oh well here goes…

Ocean Blue Depths

"TALA! Put him down!" max opened one eye and looked at why his nose wasn't a bloody mess yet, and saw one of the most beautiful boys he'd ever seen. The boy was a little taller than him and had pure black hair past his waist. And yellow eyes that could make a room of gold look like pocket change, and had a foreign look about him, maybe Chinese.

"But out Rei, nobody asked you to be here, just back off" the red head gave the other boy a glare and rose his fist again. "Hey Tala, what do u think your doing? Didn't I tell you not to pick any fights since your disagreement with Kenny?", another boy appeared behind Rei and had slate colored hair with deep crimson eyes. "Oh hi there K-Kai, I was just welcoming the new kid here and showing him around…" "Shut it Tala, I know what u were doing. Just let him go and leave alrite, before I get angry." Stated the slate haired boy. The red head known as Tala dropped Max to the floor and walked off mumbling with his face flushed.

"Hey are you okay?" Rei ran toward Max and kneeled down on the floor to check on him, while Kai studied the boy who he'd never seen before. Kai remembered Mr.Dickenson talking about a newcomer to the house but he thought it was just going to be another brat he'd have to look out for, since there was a fair share of bullies like Tala lurking around. Rei helped up the blonde and the boy started to walk the other direction. "Hey wait, where are you going? Whats your name? Hey.." Rei was about to grab the blondes arm to stop him but Kai got to him first.

"Do you mind telling me what seems to be your problem. I did kinda save you back there, the least you can do is respond to Rei." Max just turned to the slate haired boy and turned his deep blue eyes to the floor. Max hadn't talked since the accident a few years ago, and hated to get stuck in situations like this, he refused to talk to those who he cant trust, and in this place...its everyone.

"Oh hello boys, Max there u are! Ive been looking for you." A jolly Mr.Dickenson strolled out of the hallway, totally unaware of what had just happened between Max and Tala. "I just realized that you could probably use a guide around the place, since you wont make much progress on your own." The three boys just looked at him and waited for him to continue. "boys, do you think you could do me a favor and show Max here around ?" Rei and Kai exchanged looks, then finally agreed. "Sure Mr.D! we'd love to." Said a newly brightened Rei. Kai gave a sigh, but nodded his head in agreement.

Max P.O.V.

Mr.Dickenson pulled Rei and Kai off to the side for a minute, no doubt to explain to them why I wasn't responding. They soon waved off Mr. Dickenson, and headed back over towards me. "Kay then , ready for the tour?" said an adorably happy Rei, I nodded. "great lets go!" Rei grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the direction of the hallway that I was attempting to go in when I bumped into that Tala kid. We walked around for a while while Rei was explaining where everything was , while Kai gave me short strange glances like he was trying to figure me out.

The tour was done and Kai went off to find a friend of theirs that Rei recommended I should meet since everyone knew him. We were currently walking up the stairs to the rooms when I saw Rei getting uncomfortable with the silence between us. "So you don't talk much huh?… Yeah well that's okay with me, I just enjoy the company, so theres no problem if you don't feel right about it, yep im more of a thinking type of guy anyway… yep no problem with you bein mute or anything… hey kool we got the same bunk!" 'good now hopefully he wont babble anymore since hes so uncomfortable around me, heh way to make friends Maxie, this always happens…'

Normal P.O.V.

"Hey Kai where is this new kid, I wanna meet him already." Said the bouncy blue haired boy walking next to Kai. "I told you Tyson, he's in the room with Rei, that's where were going." countered the slate haired boy as he rolled his eyes at the others absent mindedness. "Oh, hehe, right I forgot, so tell me about him…is he cute?" a devilish look came upon Tysons face as he smirked at the possibilities. "Geeze Tyson you sure waste no time, look this kids a little different, you need to know that he dosent talk much, okay." "that's fine I can handle shy people, no problem" said Tyson smiling the whole time. "No moron, thats not what im saying. He dosent talk AT ALL. Hes mute Tyson." "Oh I see… That's okay! Its like a challenge now! As long as that kid has vocal cords im gonna get him to talk to me!" said the proud blue haired boy as he took his victory pose. Kai just sighed and kept walking.

In the Room

" Hiya Rei hows it goin buddy?" said an even happier Tyson as he barged into the boys' sleeping quarters. "Oh hey Tyson, everythings fine, im glad you're here" hearing the conversation Max lifted himself up off his knees from where he was putting his clothes into his dresser. As soon as Tyson saw the patch of blonde hair poke up from the side of the bunk bed he was in full action. " AHH hes so CUTE! You must be Max! Hi im Tyson!" all Max could do was watch as Tyson ran around the beds and threw himself at him for a big bear hug. "Aww Kai you held out on me, you said he didn't talk, but u never said that he was totally kawaii as well." Kai and Rei just sweatdropped as they realized that this was going to only get stranger as Tyson tried to complete his goal, to get Max to actually talk.
