The air wasn't exactly cold but it was enough to make one shiver, to make one realise that the weather would be against them or with them. There was no way to tell however what the weather was thinking and so as Dark sat down in the same spot that he was sat in only yesterday, Krad took a look up at the sky before untying his hair completely, letting the long golden hair fall, placing the small hair tie into a pocket before placing his bag down on the ground and sitting next to Dark. Never before had Dark seen the other with his hair down. Krad didn't seem to notice the other who was staring, almost as if he had never seen him before. Instead Krad was locked within his thoughts. He had completely fallen for the purple haired male hadn't he? At least that was how he felt now. Could he tell him his secret? If he could, he couldn't do it right now. After all, anyone could have been listening, that was just college. It seemed that he was soon enough shaken from his thoughts as he felt the other touching his hair again. It almost made him smile completely but the cold emotions that would be shown towards others, especially those who took interest now in Dark. It seemed to be now, when Krad was certain of his own feelings that others began to notice Dark more. Why was that?

"Krad?" Dark asked, bringing him out of his own thoughts once again. This time, he did smile at the other who only blushed in response. It seemed strange to see a male become so shy over such small things and yet to also see the very same male flirt without even the slightest hint of the crimson that was now covering Dark's cheeks.

"Yes...Dark?" He didn't remove his gaze from those violet irises, his mind now wondering about the mystery that they seemed to hold.

"If you had a secret...that you thought you couldn't tell anyone...but you wanted to tell only one person...how would you do it?" Krad seemed to think about this in only a small time before it all clicked. So there was a secret that Dark Mousy was hiding from him? Or from someone else? Krad would probably never know the answer to those very statements of the mind that begged to question the mysteries of life itself.

"I've...never thought of that..." That very answer seemed to come from his own experience of being something that wasn't normal when it was considered, possibly his own self being compared to that of a normal mortal. He wasn't even sure if he were such a thing. That was all he could actually say to himself. All that would be said to himself anyway. He felt the other lean against his shoulder and heard that of such a pretty sigh that came from one's mouth when boredom struck or one was unsure of their own feelings. The latter was probably how Dark was feeling now. Krad could guess that one easily. A look at the watch on his hand told him a time that he didn't want to see, the arrows pointing to that of quarter past two. They would only have half an hour together before being sent off to the last class of the day before the evening classes swept into the college almost like a few bats that came out of hell. His last period of the day being that of English Language in the second year of the course. And he was pretty sure that Dark had History. He knew where the History classroom was, so he could meet Dark after the lesson.

The classroom was only just beginning to fill up with first year students when Dark actually took his seat at the back of the class closest to the window where he could look out at the grounds below if things got too complicated or boring. By now, the teacher had become used to his antics of trying to avoid complications or boredom and so decided that it was best not to include him in group discussions if he was staring out of that window at the time. The topic for the lesson was to be the background of the First World War, something that was considered to be a rather sensitive issue alongside that of the Second World War and yet it was so freely taught in schools and colleges. He took a look at the sheet the teacher handed him, answering all the questions easily just as the rest of the class sauntered in after being deliberately late to the lesson. It was always the same...except this time he noticed the girl from earlier making her way over to him. Oh great. What if I become bored and offend her? Way to go Dark Mousy! He seemed to think as she took the free seat beside him.

"Hi Dark!" She said in her cheery voice before looking at the question paper that he had been given by the teacher. "Wow, you're really good you know that?" She seemed to state then. He didn't think he was that good so he replied back with a mere "thanks" before reaching into his bag, digging out the pen that was always at the bottom, always choosing to irritate him completely as if it would know what his weaknesses were. "So...do you know what we're doing today?" She asked him, the voice now sounding innocent but he didn't seem to pick up on it. He could hear her own pen scribbling against the sheet, filling in the answers to the same questions in her own words. The teacher didn't seem to notice at all which was a good thing for Dark as he now didn't want to cause a fuss at all.

"Not really...probably more stuff on the Moroccan Crises..." He seemed to reply, a sour sort of tone coming into his own voice. This choice of subject could be a little boring at times and was almost completely irritating too. There was always essay work to handle. He was still writing out his own views on the Balkans which was now turning into a five paged essay of pointless information that was probably not going to be used ever again.

"As your tuned in today Mr. Mousy, could you provide us with the answer to the first question please?" The teacher spoke over the small discussions of the class, a no-nonsense tone in his voice.

"The spark of the first world war would be the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand..." The teacher seemed to go around the class then but Dark had switched off, looking out of the window at the grounds below. That was until the lesson came to an end.

A/N: Apologies for any offense on the part in the history lesson and I safely do not know whether I will turn Risa into stalker Risa or into the nice Risa that she becomes at the end of the anime, where Dark tells her she is finally becoming a lady. Also I do know Dark was close to telling Krad his secret but I held it off. Maybe in the next chapter he will tell him? I do not know...
