falling asleep is our always ; lavi & rin

"Hng." Rin groaned and opened his eyes slowly. He was— somewhere he didn’t recognize and his side was warm like a heater. He sat up straight and looked to the side, expecting an actual heater there but worse, it was a readhead he knew so well who was— well, leaning against him. Or was Rin leaning against the other? No matter. It was warm. Good kind of warm but— it was sunday and he was hungry.

But perhaps, eating could wait because it was really, really warm against Lavi. And comfortable. Comfortable was nice. So Rin settled back on Lavi’s side, head propping on the other’s shoulder before closing his eyes, hoping to sleep more. “Just five minutes…”

[xlixth]

{ ✗ }— Waking up like this certainly hadn't been Lavi's idea of a perfect Sunday morning. Actually it made him wonder how he had ended up in this situation in the first place. When had he even fallen asleep? He couldn't remember being this close to the other the night before. Rin was somehow awake he realised as he heard him mumble from his side.

It sounded like he wanted to sleep more and Lavi wasn't planning on making him wide awake just like that when he found this quite nice himself. Letting out a sigh before he shifted slightly to make this more comfortable, the redhead looked up at the ceiling. It wasn't as if he could fall back asleep after he woke up, so he would just live with this position the sleeping beauty wanted to wake up.

Hmpf. Rin rolled his eyes and dropped his act. What the other said was true, he started it so he couldn’t really sulk about it like a baby. He dropped his arms on his sides, faced the redhead again and stuck his tongue out childishly. “Whatever. What you said was begging for it, so.” He shrugged his shoulders, making a face at the other’s close proximity. He would’ve blushed but he didn’t feel embarrassed. More like, it was natural for them to be that close which was shit because this fiery redheaded guy was a stranger. A weirdo stranger.

An, apparently, weirdo stranger named Lavi. Now that was an unusual name. “Lavi.” He repeated, humming. “I’m Rin. I have a girly name but don’t dare call me girly.” He threatened playfully, eyes narrowing at the male. That introduction wasn’t necessary but well, he found it humorous, so he might as well.

"Hmpf, then why are you interested in older people, eh?" At this point, only curiosity was fueling Rin’s questions. After all, he hadn’t really given such topic as sexuality a lot of thought. He should have but he really didn’t care that much. He liked who he liked and that was that. Probably. Anyways, that didn’t matter now. He was out to tease the other and that was what he was going to do.

"Wait, is it the money? It’s the money, isn’t it?!" His hand covered his mouth in feigned shock. "I wouldn’t have guessed, Lavi!"

[xlixth]

{ ✗ }— Maybe he had been begging for it when he had admitted that fact? No, not really. At least he didn't believe so, but he had just been teasing in the first place so it wasn't as if it really mattered that much. It had been a joke, he was pretty sure half their conversation had been a joke so far, and he didn't mind that. It all simply felt natural to him, which was kind of weird since he hadn't known the other redhead just a few minutes ago.

Rin, huh? That wasn't a name he heard often, especially not on a boy. He wouldn't tease him about the name though, he might joke around a lot, but names were kind of special. It stated their identity, something he believed to be quite important. "Don't worry, I won't call you girly if you don't like girly. That's like calling a duckling muscular." Most likely not something you usually put up against together, but it worked.

"But you need a nickname, everyone gets a nickname— How about Rin-chan?" Adding 'chan' to people's name was always fun, most fun with his roommate, but other people worked just fine too.

Oh, man... The other believed he was doing it for money now? He felt like laughing, he almost did actually. He really didn't worry about his financial situation so being with someone for money did just top it for Lavi. "I think you got it wrong now. It's no dumb reasons like money, experience or breaking a pair up it's more like— Um..." Pausing for a moment, Lavi tried to figure out a reason for why older people would be a reason. It really wasn't anything spesific, which made it all much harder to find a reason. "I just do okay? It's not easy to explain. It's like asking why your eyes are that colour."

[hosxnka-deactivated20151009]

“No, nnno, don’t worry about it.”

Sasuke’s articulation is surprisingly good for someone who can’t even stay sitting straight. He pulls himself up and leans heavily against his elbows, hiccuping softly. He inspects the person he’s with…Who was this guy, seriously? He didn’t recognise him at all. This night was going to be pretty interesting.

“Uhm, what’s you’re name again?”

[xlixth]

{ ✗ }— Maybe he should have corrected the other and tell him that he never introduced himself in the first place, but that wasn't as fun as making the other believe that he had forgot in the first place. Teasing like this was really something he should quit with, but he just found it quite fun to do such. To clear up his words, the redhead moved his hand up to show four of his fingers.

"Lavi, it's not that hard. It's only four letters to remember after all."

[hosxnka-deactivated20151009]

“I think I know when I’ve had enough.”

Punctuated by Sasuke’s head promptly dropping and hitting the counter of the bar with a loud 'thud'.

[xlixth]

{ ✗ }— How he had gotten into this situation truly was a mystery for the redhead, he hadn't signed up to be a babysitter when he decided to go to the bar.

"Pretty sure you don't if you can't keep your head up."

[xlixth]

[tsunerin-deactivated20151030]

It was honestly funny. Rin couldn’t help but giggle at the other’s reaction. He was, after all, just kidding. No need to get so flustered but nevertheless, he found it amusing. Rin found the guy amusing. And it was a bit surprising, for him to act so familiar with someone whom he just met minutes ago. It was kind of… refreshing.

Clearing his throat, his giggles subsided as he listened to the guy’s answer. Rolling his eyes at the male’s very childish gesture of sticking his tongue out, Rin smirked and gushed like he was some teenage girl out for the gossip of the century. ”I see. I see. You just like them very experienced, eh?” Seriously, what was he saying? He should really lay down on watching those tv shows. After all, what did he even know about experienced people? Pfft. A lot— of bullshit, apparently. His lack of information, however, didn’t deter him from teasing the male. It was nice. “Hey, maybe you three could—” He cut himself off suddenly, shooting the other a scandalous glare.

"Wait, did you just imply I— why would you?!" He gasped, eyes widening and feigning an offended expression. "I would never! Rude." Rin huffed, pouting as he crossed his arms. He pursed his lips and continued his act of sulking, wondering when he’d become so childish in the course of a few minutes. Huh. Rin was never childish. In his opinion, at least. His friends would probably beg to differ but those people knew him since he was a brat. Of course he trusted them enough to show such side, but this guy— this stranger he’d just met recently and he was already acting so chummy with him. Wow, wow.

[xlixth]

{ ✗ }— This had started as an excuse due to a slip of tongue and instead this all seemed like simple fun. It truly wasn't something Lavi minded, he liked fun and for him so wouldn't there be enough of that. Or so he believed, maybe one day he would have enough of it, but he certainly didn't have enough yet. Having fun always gave off a pleasant feeling.

Experienced? That certainly wasn't it. It was more along the lines of being more mature, the words did stop him in the tracks for a moment, feeling a bit puffed up. Trying to get over it fairly quickly, Lavi shook his head as if that would clear things up. With a few seconds to clear things up the redhead sported a grin on his face as he leaned slightly forward. "You hinted at it first and now you get to see how it is to be questioned like that yourself." Pointing that out, he just as he easily leaned back as he had leaned forward. Feeling quite content with the payback he had given the guy.

Maybe it was time for an introduction at this point, at least then he would have a name to place with the face. "For your information so is the name Lavi, and i'm not interested in people due to how experienced they are as you so believe." There was probably better ways to introduce yourself. Lavi instead figured out it would be more fun to give out an introduction like this one, just telling someone your name was plain and boring, especially when you found someone like this to chat with.

[unmeinohasu-a-blog1]

        ○• → Complete disdain was the best way to describe how the heir felt 

      about the red head. He wanted nothing to do with him, already finding it to       be a nuisance that they were forced to share a space together. The last       thing he wanted to do was spend more time than he already had to. Being       stabbed sounded like a more enjoyable experience than going out into       public with the loud mouthed rabbit. Why did he feel it necessary to try       and push their faux friendship?

      "Fuck off." He snapped, indigo eyes narrowing at the other.

      He was just trying to work on this stupid club, trying to get it all worked       out and started to get his father off his case. He’d spent so long just staring       at the paper, Sword Play being the only words written on the application.       The long haired male’s patience was already short, but the red head’s       nagging made it even worse. He was about to snap at the other to get away       when he spoke the magic phrase.

      Of course, he didn’t care about the others so called promise, knowing it was       quite a shot in the dark that the other would even be able to last more than a       day. What got him was the thought that came to his mind. he could go out with       the obnoxious twit and lose him in the crowd. Then he’d make his way back to       the dorm and work in silence. Peace and quiet, something he craved so       desperately and would never get so long as the other was there.

      "Fine."

      As the word was spoken, Kanda stood up and headed out of the door, not even       looking back to catch the other’s reaction.

[xlixth]

{ ✗ }— Lavi had stopped for a second the moment the other had said fine, simply standing there for a moment wondering for a moment how he had accepted it so easily. Normally it would have taken much more time than that, but this time it had gone through quite easily. Maybe Yu was sick? It didn't look like it though so it had to be something else, what it was wasn't something he could answer. Yu was always mysterious that way, he always hid things pretty well.

"Eh? Y- Kanda, wait for me!" Almost forgetting his promise already just out of habit, the redhead quickly moved to follow the other, not forgetting to lock the door to their dorm. As if he'd forget something like that, he had more than enough inside that room he'd rather keep that letting someone else get their hands on it.

Hurrying after Yu, it didn't take him more than a few seconds to catch up. A big grin could be found on his face as he slowed down to walk by the other's side. "So I need to go by the bookstore and get some new books... Oh and some writing equipment, but you're free to choose where we can go after that." It wasn't as if he had that many plans when he decided to get into the city to get those things, it would probably have gone faster if he had went along. But missing a perfect chance to drag the other along? He wouldn't have wanted to miss that for the world.

Deciding to speak up once more, Lavi looked over at the other before he spoke. "I'm glad you decided to tag along in the end.~ It's no fun going alone."

[ackerbutts-blog]

Hoping for a quiet moment to study the texts for his course, Levi had secluded himself to a corner in the back of the building, found close to where the best of the fashion journals were. He was somewhat surprised at just how little people were in the library, what with the end of the semester fast approaching and most people usually wanted to get as much work as possible done before the Christmas break. 

This was why Levi was surprised when a redhead made his presence known. Looking up, he smiled slightly, impressed that this brat could at least tell the obvious. It was a nice change from ‘What’cha reading.’ At least this kid wasn’t dull and boring. Leaning back in his chair he decided to humour the student. "Actually I can’t read this shit. I’ve never been able to read I just look at them because I think the words look pretty." Levi shrugged and ran his finger along the words in the wrong direction for emphasis. He wasn’t dumb, just bored by this particular journal. It held no information that he needed and it was getting tideous to study for this long. He wanted to do something fun, perhaps something rebellious. Maybe he’d set Sunrise on fire, yeah that sounded good.

[xlixth]

{ ✗ }— One of the things Lavi hadn't expected was the other's answer, however he made sure not to let that by known; Masking his own surprise by a smile. Sometimes he would meet people like this and they always were interesting to speak with so he had zero plans about giving up getting a conversation with this guy. Grabbing a chair by the other, the redhead sat down as if telling the other he wasn't planning on leaving anytime soon.

"It must be a pure chance that they're fashion journals then— The words aren't any prettier because they're in one of those you know, I don't really think letters can be fashionable." Well of course by using a different font or having a neat way of writing might make them look better? More pretty? He really didn't care as long as he was able to read whatever was written on the surface.

He knew the other was being sarcastic, which was the reason he was using that tone back on the other. He had a habit by using the tone the other spoke with towards him, it made things all the way more fun. "What are you really looking for? Maybe I can help, I've got a pretty good memory you know and I've definitely been through a few of those before." Visiting someone with his grandfather a summer had led him to those, it had been the reading material there and Lavi couldn't go too long without reading something. 

[xlixth]

;; difference by a letter {l(a/e)vi}

{ ✗ }— These days it always seemed as if Lavi was stuck inside of the library, if he wasn't studying so was he managing to read something else. His days wasn't filled with things he had to at this time of the year so he instead found himself spending even more time at the library. Sometimes he would find a stranger sitting there and he would pick up a conversation with them, only if they were looking at something interesting of course; he seemed to be more interested in that than the person when it came down to it. Reading all the time could get a bit tiresome at times, it didn't help that he usually was a very social person on top of that.

He hadn't thought much about it when he first had seen the guy who had been sitting by the table when he had arrived at the library, it was first when he had gotten a closer look on what the other was looking at the redhead found himself interested. There wasn't many people looking on those after all, so when someone did Lavi quickly found himself interested. It was always the same kind of people though. This guy seemed to be working on something important, maybe it wasn't the best time to bother him then? Probably not, but when did Lavi ever care about that?

"It's not everday I see someone looking at fashion journals— That would make you a fashion enthusiast or a fashion student, or well both." There was no question as he spoke up about the subject. 

[analyzersxeye]

Someone offering help to her — a mere stranger down the street? That does leave her with a good first impression of this place. "A-Ah, yes, that would be a good idea." 

"Are you, uh, really sure that’ll be alright, though?" 

[xlixth]

{ ✗ }— For a moment the redhead had to wonder. Why would someone offer to help someone else if they wasn't planning on going through with it?

"Sure I am, it's no problem at all. Why would else would I offer to take you there?"

Library nerds || Lavi and Mei

The Library, a place where students could come and enjoy quiet time while working on homework, projects, or just studying or plain reading books during their spare time. Mei spent a lot of time here during her free time, that and her dorm room. Returning a few books as she entered Sunset’s library, Mei looked around. It was pretty much empty except for a few people reading or studying for tests, this was how Mei liked it. Close to empty and quiet. 

Walking in she walking to the classic literature section and choose a book she hadn’t read in a while, one she didn’t own herself. Taking the book she found a seat in a corner away from everyone and began reading.

She doubted anyone could disturb her there.

[xlixth]

{ ✗ }— When Lavi had appeared at the library he had had every intention to go and find a book he hadn't read yet, which was a bit hard when you spent most of your time reading except when you were too busy with something else. When the redhead had stopped by the classic literature section; Lavi spent about twenty seconds looking over the books, seeing if there was any titles he hadn't seen before, he always found them the most interesting.  

It was when his eyes laid their sight on a book by a brunette Lavi found himself interested, and it didn't take him more than a few seconds before he found his way over to her; trying to decide whenever to try and just read behind the book from where she held it or ask if it was possible to look at it for a few second.

Stopping by her side, the redhead made sure to smile before he spoke up, deciding to ask her about it instead of possibly scaring her. "Excuse me, would you mind letting me look at that book? It's only for a few seconds."

;; small mistakes {lavi/rin}

[tsunerin-deactivated20151030]

Rin wasn’t vain. In fact, he was far from it and his insecurities run rather deep. After all, he was surrounded by good looking people. Australia was full of them and he only stood out because of his - he really didn’t want to think about it - pretty face and pretty hair, was what they told him when he first landed there. He took it as a compliment rather than fussing about it. Now though, he really didn’t appreciate it when people talked about his appearance.

So, this misunderstanding was, really, just a misunderstanding. Moderately attractive, unattractive, ugly, whatever. What someone looked like didn’t matter in the swimming world. Or at least, that was what Rin thought.

"Oh! No, no." Rin shook his head frantically, eyes wide as he stared at the guy. "I mean, I was just kidding. There wasn’t any meaning to it…" He trailed off, shrugging his shoulders. Although that bit of information that the guy disclosed to him just called for some teasing. “You like older type, eh? Pray tell, how old? Teacher old, someone married, perhaps? Oooh, what an illicit love affair!” He crooned, biting his lip to stop from laughing out loud.

[xlixth]

{ ✗ }— Lavi found himself being slightly surprised by how well the stranger seemed to take his words. Normally people reacted quite strongly to words like that, he could only find himself at ease when the stranger took up the chance to use his words against him. He had tried to find an excuse from his side and the other used that. It was actually quite comical for Lavi that the guy had turned the tables like that.

What was he supposed to say to something like that? It was a bit embarrassing that he was being teased about his preferences. Everyone had types like that so it wasn't something to get shy about, he would just have to do his best to mask that.

"Nothing like that, honestly! Just older people in general? I'm not too picky." He did his best to act casual about it, even if he felt himself getting a bit flustered. In the end so was there no correct answer about how old he wanted the person to be, just older than he himself was. "And I'm really not looking for a way to break up any couple— I can leave that part for you." Sticking his tongue out at the other, Lavi decided to just deal with this as some sort of joke, things were easier that way.

;; drunken chatter {lavi/alexandra}

[lunaticdynamo]

           [ ♔ ] ღღ ❝Now there’s nothing wrong with a little friendly flirt now is there? I mean, if I were that substitute, I would see it as a way the students would like to make friends with me. Though, my way of thinking differs from others. Plus, who’s to say that you can’t do it off of school grounds?❞ She finished her glass and ordered another fill.

❝Since when does a job identify you as an adult? When you act like one and you potray yourself as one, then you’re an adult. I mean, I myself don’t act like one, though I have a job. If my friends were here, they would say that I’m nothing like an adult and that having a job doesn’t equal to being an adult.❞ She thanked the bartender for her refill and poked the male’s cheek ❝Once you have the attitude of the adult and you can convince others that you are with ease, then having a job will be a small thing for you.❞ She chuckled.

Even if she knew nothing about the stranger’s life or name, the topic itself is very interesting. It’s been a while since she had a very interesting conversation with someone. Especially in a bar.

[xlixth]

{ ✗ }— Certainly the other had her own points, Lavi however found himself not agreeing with all of them. "There are things I'd rather not take any chances at— Who says I even will get the chance of flirting with her after this? Our teacher is usually not absent so I'm pretty sure this was an one time encounter." That, and he wasn't dumb enough to try that on a teacher, from that encounter so could he say the woman definitely had her own attitude that he wasn't planning on messing with. She'd probably tell his original teacher as well and that was not a position he wanted to be in.

"Being finished with school, having a job and having your own place is what the general public would think to be an adult from what I've understood, maybe I was wrong about that." How confusing, he had believed that to be the general opinion on being an adult, but in the end it came down to be much more than that. "Seriously though, the general public will begin to call you an adult the moment you're legal, you're no longer a teenager then—  Or maybe it's young adults they're called at that point."

[xlixth]

;; drunken chatter {lavi/alexandra}

[lunaticdynamo]

           [ ♔ ] ღღ As much as she loves her job, she really needs to let loose and unwind herself. Being a P.E teacher and a coach is a tough job. The tough part is the coaching. She’s coaching the Generation of Miracles and with their cocky attituded, she has to force rules down their throats. Which is why she’s letting loose right now.

She wasn’t too familiar of the place, but she did find a near by bar. Couple of tequila shots and a nice cup of whiskey on the rocks. She did plan on spending her time here alone, but she ended up having a random companion. She didn’t mind having a random companion, so long they don’t try to put any dirty moves on her. Though this man didn’t seem to have that intention, he seemed to want to just ramble.

She lets out a small giggle, taking a sip of her whiskey as she listens to the other ramble on ❝Well I don’t see the problem with flirting with the teacher. If she’s cute, then she’s cute.❞

❝I’ve seen it happen a lot, but I understand if you wanna be a good boy and follow the rules. Although, who really follows the rules now a days? I mean there’s already student teacher relationships.❞ She took another sip of her drink ❝All I’m saying is that, you’re old enough to flirt with a woman who is an adult. There’s no crime to that at least.❞

[xlixth]

{ ✗ }— Really, if he hadn't been so busy with his ramblings then he would probably at least have complimeted the female. But instead he found himself focusing his view on nothing, simply looking straight forward as he was leaning on his hand. Had he even learned the name of the stranger he had been chatting with? No, he hadn't, maybe asking for the name would be a plan. He could do that soon enough, for now so was the topic which was being discussed more important.

"Maybe I will do it one day— Endangering someone's position isn't exactly what I'm planning on doing... Plus I'd rather not take any chances ya'know." Doing nothing at all was definitely the better thing to do, even if it was such a sad thing to lose such a chance. Maybe he would have tried if there had been any romance in the picture, but there was no such thing in his mind, it was more like a fling he had been thinking of. Romance was after all not something he found himself immensly interested in.

Letting out a hum, the redhead picked up his cup and took a sip. His interests really just conflicted each other which was a pain. It was a good thing he was able to make decisions by himself or something messy could have actually happened. "I'm 22 years though, I think I fit into the description of an adult, but I guess you're not a proper adult before you get your own job huh?" It certainly wouldn't had harmed him to have a job by the studies, some extra change would never hurt. "Would you set your job in danger for love?" He certainly wouldn't.

[xlixth]

;; unpredicable events {lavi/kanda}

{ ✗ }— Sometimes Lavi had to wonder if he had a death wish or not, especially with how he just waltzed into danger as if was something he did everyday, but that was the thing. He pretty much did that everyday, but it wasn't that hard when his roommate was the person who he was. In the end he found teasing him a bit too fun to stop, Lavi wasn't anyone who threaded lightly around people. Maybe that was why he found himself in the current situation.

"Come on, Yu-chan! It wouldn't kill you to go shopping with me, I just need a few things." A huff could be heard from the redhead, trying to tug along his roommate. "I will even pay for the food if you come along— We could even go to that cafe you seem to like." This really was a dangerous territory to step into, but he didn't want to go alone. Plus he hadn't had any time to hang around the other lately, so of course he would be trying to get some time to be around him which didn't include sleeping in the same room.

Trying to make a deal with the other was probably the best way of getting him to go along with things, maybe he could give up using the other's first name? No, that wasn't a chance he would do that, he was too fond of using that name with the other male. Maybe he could make a deal by not trying to braid his hair? The other certainly didn't seem to be a fan of that so it could maybe work. Giving it up though wasn't really something he wanted to do, he could stop for a spesific time, so maybe Yu would go along with that. "And as an bonus so will I even stop trying to braid your hair... for a spesific time of course." Muttering the last part, Lavi gave his best smile at the other male.

[xlixth]

;; small mistakes {lavi/rin}

{ ✗ }— There was few things Lavi did by mistake, usually those mistakes came from a slip of tongue or he was affected by something. For once it had been by a slip of tongue that he had managed to get into this situation. He had spoken out loudly when he had been commenting on things in his mind, normally he'd never do such a mistake, but today was the day such a mistake would happen apparently. Honestly, it was such an unnecessary mistake he could have dealt without.

"Moderately attractive?"

Had been the words the stranger had spoken up about and Lavi himself had said by mistake. It had most certainly offended him, if he wasn't amused by it, but he would take no chance like that. After all he wasn't someone who liked to cause conflicts, he'd rather be the peacekeeper and just observe, but that had failed today hadn't it? "It's not like that— You're certainly nice enough to look at, but I'm into older people you see?" Was that an excuse that could be used? He would hope so. "So there's no problem at all, right?"

[analyzersxeye]

Alright, she admits it. She’s lost. In a new environment, everyone would definitely lose their way around, right? Or so, that was what she thought.

"Um, hey, you there." She fiddles with the edge of her shirt. "Do you know the way to… Sunset University?" Cue eyes ensued. 

[xlixth]

{ ✗ }— Glancing at the female that had just spoken to him, the redhead stayed quiet for a moment before he nodded, a grin appearing on his face before he spoke up.

"I do— Do you want me to show you the way there? I'm going back to the campus now so it wouldn't cause any trouble for me."

[xlixth]

;; drunken chatter {lavi/?}

{ ✗ }— If there was one thing that Lavi always found himself returning to so was it to sit by the bar desk at some bar, speaking in drunken ramblings. Somehow he always found himself a stranger to talk with for the night, he didn't sit there complaining, but he wasn't sitting there praising the world either. The stranger simply made a nice companionship, much easier to talk with that any of those he would call friends.

"You see we had this substitute last week during one of the lectures, we never have one of those because our teacher always is healthy— Well they were before that. Some parts of our class actually thought that they had this impregnable immunity system before that day." Lavi always spoke more than usual when he had alcohol in his system which wasn't always such a bad thing, it made him less careful of which words he decided to speak.

His original teacher wasn't the original goal of his ramblings though, so he quickly spoke up again. "Not like that was the point, the point was that the substitute was definitely a 8 out 10, and those are rare as a teacher. Really, it was such a loss that she was one of the teachers." And there was the topic he had been looking for, the woman had been such a beauty, it really was a loss. Since she was a teacher so couldn't he do anything with her at all, flirting really was a no no.

"It really is such a sad thing."
