Whether it was some luck finally coming his way, or sheer chance, Ryuu found that when he turned the handle on to door of room 10, it opened. Stepping inside cautiously, he cursed when the chain on his jeans caught on the door frame and made a jangling noise. Freezing like a frightened deer, he glanced wide eyed round the room. Empty. Ryuu really couldn’t believe his luck right about now, and he went over to the bathroom door, which was shut, and put his ear to it. There was no sound coming from behind. His heart racing, he padded back to the front door and shut it. Turning back to inspect the room, he wondered which bed was Irja’s. He knew the one that was Oli’s - hell, he’d probably slept in it one drunken night - but he wasn’t sure about the other two. They both looked equally tidy (Ryuu had been hoping the room would be a pig sty, apart from his brother’s corner) but alas, what mess there was only told him what he already knew.
Deciding he’d have to rifle through both boys’ stuff, he went to the closest bed first, and opened the top drawer of the bed side table. There were photos of friends and family, and he didn’t recognize any of them so guessed this wasn’t Irja’s bed. Going over to the other, he felt his heart pounding with anxiety. He sat down carefully on the bed, and realised he didn’t even need to start going through his brother’s stuff. On the bed side table was a couple of tastefully shot and framed photographs. The first was a landscape view of the farm as seen from Irja’s bedroom window. There was one difference though. The barn that had only just been visible in the corner of the window had been extended, and an outdoor riding school added. Ryuu felt a pang of emotion, and put it back where he found it. The second was a photograph of a row of tiny, three story terraced houses. The one in the middle of the row had been focused on, and Ryuu recognized a girl standing on the front doorstep. Claire. That choked him, when he realised she was about 5 months pregnant in this photograph. He almost couldn’t bear to pick up the third one - a photograph that was neither framed nor put on full show. With shaky hands, he picked it up off the table, and stared at it. It was a bright, friendly looking kitchen, with a round wooden table with three chairs and a high seat. Irja smiled back at him through the picture, and he had his arm round a boy he vaguely recognised - God, Fly had changed a lot in two years - and he held a girl’s hand who was sitting on the other side of him. The girl was Claire, her brilliant cobalt eyes still rimmed with thick black make up that made her face look paler and her eyes more intense. Balanced on her knee was a little blonde haired boy, with piercing green eyes. He felt his eyes tear up, and he screwed them shut, feeling the salty tears leaving his eyes and running down his cheek. If anyone came in now…God, he was so busted. Ryuu had found what he wanted, and it hurt him so bad he could hardly hold himself together. A sob escaped him, and he wiped at his eyes frustrated, trying to stop crying with all his might.

Max sighed, Leona was pissed and so was Adam, go figure. Dontey could care less, Max knew that much. He shuffled slowly down the hallway to the dorm, dorm ten. He sighed as he jammed his hands into his pocket searching for his keys. Then he realized that someone was in the room already, and it didn't sound anything like his Dorm mates. He slowly turned the handle to the dorm, and surprisingly it opened. "What idiot left the door unlocked this time?" he hissed, wondering out loud as he stepped into the room. He saw Ryuu.
"Um, excuse me. Who are you and why are you in this dorm?" he asked glaring at the boy. "My other question is which one of the other boys left the door open this morning." he hissed once again. His blue eyes didn't come off Ryuu as he waited for an answer.

He heard keys jangling outside, and swore colourfully. ‘Oh fuuuuck,’ he thought, wishing he’d known better than to sit on his twin’s bed and mope about stuff. Jumping up, he stuffed the photo in his back pocket and opened Irja’s top drawer. To his relief there weren’t any undies in there. Just some socks, a set of keys and a few other bits. The door opened, and he spun round, letting out a sigh of relief. The boy who’d come in wasn’t Irja. Thank the lord. Wiping his eyes of tears, he spoke shakily.
“Err…Hi…This is really awkward,” he laughed nervously, and rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. He glanced back into his brother’s drawer, and noticed a small note pad. Arranging his face to make it seem like he’d been looking for it, he took it out.
“I wanted something from my twin, and I found it so…I’ll go now?” he put the note pad in his pocket and edged away from the bed, wiping the salt tracks off his face.

Max didn't seem to like the answer. "Why didn't you just ask him for it than?" he said with a sigh walking over to the corner where his bed was. He glanced at a picture of his band then back to his bed where he stood unpacking books from school. The senior then turned to Ryuu, waiting for an answer. He reached his hand back and ruffled his sort hair. "But I guess you can leave, I'm not stopping you." he said glancing down at his own note pad where his bands songs were written in. Red Eye White Eye was coming along well in the making of the CD but with the fights he'd always get in with Adam, they were slowly halting to a near stop. Leona was on the edge of quiting, and if that happened, their best singer would leave back to her own solo singing carer.
He tossed the note pad, and looked at his books, the words 'No Homework' were written on his school planner. He stood and glanced at Ryuu. "I have to leave soon, so make up your mind please. I'm not letting you stay inhere with no one else..." he muttered.

[/color] He walked over to him and put his hand on his shoulder. Then he remembered the other guy in the room, and he grinned sheepishly. This guy didn't look very happy, and Jared was probably making him even more angry. "Um.. Hi. I'm Jared. Is this your dorm? Sorry I... kinda invaded it."Glancing back at Ryuu, Jared noticed that his eyes looked as if tears had been wiped from them. He sat down beside Ryuu, his hand still on his shoulder.

Ryuu shrugged, looking at the door. He knew he could have just asked, but asking Irja was like trying to juggle with a handful of nukes. The door opened, and his heart raced - was it Irja? No. To his surprise, Jared’s head poked through the door, and he glanced at Max, blushing awkwardly.
“H…Hey Jare. Um…I’ll tell you outside,” he said, jumping up and hurrying over to Jared, pushing him out the room and shutting the door behind him.
He took a few steps down the corridor, and pulled out the photograph again. Staring at it, he backed against the wall and slid down, unable to take his eyes off the small child on Claire’s knee. Claire’s child…His child. Feeling a lump form in his throat, he tipped his head back to rest it on the wall, tears overflowing his eyes again.
“I am the world’s biggest idiot,” he chocked, looking back down at the picture. Irja looked so happy. Fly had changed so much; he wondered how he still recognized him. But Claire…she was just like she had always been. Her outgoingness was blazing in her cobalt eyes, her perfect smile still tugged at his heart. But the blonde haired, green eyed child really got him. He let out a quivering sigh, and a sob escaped. He couldn’t help it anymore, and he buried his face in his hands, crying silently. The only good thing that seemed to have happened to him in his life was Watson, and even that wasn’t perfect.
“I…Always have to…Fuck everything…up,” he muttered, screwing his eyes shut tightly to try and stop the flow.

[/color] Jared said with a smirk, but then he shook his head at himself. Why was he making jokes now? Putting his arm around Ryuu and kissing him softly on the cheek he said, "And you don't fuck everything up, either." Jared really wasn't sure what else to say. It was hurting him to see Ryuu like this. He stared at the picture Ryuu was holding. The green eyes of the child looked very, very similar to Ryuu's. Jared inhaled, "Is he... yours?" he questioned.

Jared’s joke made him smile a bit, and he leant his head on Jared’s shoulder, sighing heavily. He shrugged, didn’t he? Ryuu sure thought he did. He’d ruined pretty much his whole family’s life with the exception of Fly (but seriously, boyfriends of siblings don’t count). He tilted the picture to the side, and then the other, as if it had become three dimensional, and nodded.
“Yeah…I don’t even know his name. He must be…,” he trailed off, counting quickly in his head, “I dunno. More than a year I suppose.” He mused to himself, still unable to take his eyes off the picture. Closing his eyes, an even more vivid image of Claire flared in his mind’s eye. Her face when she told him she was pregnant…god…her face. He opened his eyes again, and pointed at her on the picture.
“The wonderful Claire. To think I used to love her,” he shuddered, and crossed his legs over - subconsciously protecting his crotch from an invisible Claire. Putting the picture away, he turned slightly, and kissed Jared. He just wanted to get his mind as far away from all that, and Jared was the closest distraction possible. Deepening his kiss with his tongue, he pulled Jared closer, not wanting to let go.

[/color] Jared was smiling, trying to lift the mood of the situation, and he snuggled his head onto Ryuu's shoulder. "I love you a lot."[/sub][/font][/ul] |

The picture - and their rather public location - slipped his mind as Jared kissed him back, and he felt almost light headed from breathlessness. Tangling his hand in Jared’s hair, he smiled at him when he said he loved him, and held him close when he rested his head on Ryuu’s shoulder. He bit his lip, feeling slightly overwhelmed with emotions, but he pushed them away to deal with later, and kissed Jared’s cheek.
“That’s good to know. Because I love you more,” he smirked, loving the feeling of closeness to Jared. He didn’t care that they were sitting on the floor in the hallway. If they wanted to cuddle there, they would.
