Summer 2024
Heat has broken through into a glorious summer. The snow has entirely dried through the spring, leaving to the brilliance of the warmer months. Terror activity has risen as people are brought out of their homes, leaving the TRS in a position of consistent work. Each are attempting to maintain victory in the endless struggle for power.
Since the wonderful members of TDOM enjoy the site enough to play around on it, this thread is to assist with the site's tidying! Functionality is important and we want to make the site functional even if its activity will be minimal at best!
Ian had woken up early in the morning, stripping before entering the shower, a few minutes later he would be dressed in a white shirt and gray checker slacks. A beige sweater would hang on his shoulders. He would then proceed to finishing drying his hair before brushing it out. Within a few minutes he would exit his bedroom to enter the kitchen to cook himself scrambled eggs before eating it at the counter. Once finished, he'd place the dishes in the sink before walking back towards the bathroom to brush his teeth. As soon as he finished, he would go back into his bedroom to lift his cell to check the time before slipping it in his pocket, reaching for his keys and wallet before exiting his bedroom, heading for the front door before exiting his apartment. He'd lock the front door before walking down the stairs before walking in the direction of the school.
Today he was going to meet with the principle to finalize his paperworks to enroll in the public school. During his walk, he couldn't help but feel slightly nervous because he had never attended school before. The thought was somewhat exciting but at the same time, nerve wreaking. All the new people he'd get the chance to meet, possible tension couldn't be avoided but he hoped to make friends through out the four years of being here. School had already started, so it hadn't come as a surprise as he walked along the side walk, able to see that nobody was in sight. He opened the doors and stepped inside, taking a breath as he looked down the halls to try and figure out where he was supposed to go to next. As he walked down the halls, he found himself staring at the decorations as well as the many lockers that were along the walls.
An office came into view and he opened it to walk inside. He walked to the front and signed in before taking a seat to meet with the principle. Five minutes later he was called inside the office. He took a seat as his paperwork was being reviewed. He remained silent unless speaking spoken to, seeing no point in saying anything. Once everything was sorted, a map was provided to him and he was allowed to leave, granted permission to wander around campus so that he hopefully wouldn't get lost when attending classes tomorrow. With his documents in hand, he slowly stood from the chair and exited the room, leaving the office before walking down the hall to explore more of campus.
School, the common trap for youths between the ages of 5-17 and held to the highest standards of significance in completion. Parents expected their children to spend years of their childhood learning and developing their skills in these public or private facilities and the wealthy, prestigious families were not always an exception. The Abbot family undoubtedly possessed the funds to afford to homeschool, obvious by their lavish lifestyle and quality tutors, however, they decided against it. Constantly, his parents insisted learning social protocols could be accomplished through attending public school. While Tadashi held no qualms about rousing during the early hours and heading to Lorsette High School, he always inquired out of curiosity. Besides, school hours were never supervised by his parents nor his fiance who attended a fancy, all-girls private school in a nicer section of the northern side of town. Public school became a freedom of sorts for Tadashi, warranting him the freedom to flirt with attractive boys and girls without the knowledge of his parents or fiance. When he admitted to being unfaithful, the redhead desired an extensive list of disloyal atrocities.
[break][break]
In the morning hours, Tadashi prepared himself for school. Hesitation was nonexistent as the young man sorted through his clothes, tugging on a pair of simple blue jeans and a red v-neck t-shirt and a black sweater. The black backpack hanging lazily off his computer chair was grabbed and hefty. Textbook from a night's worth of homework was swung over Tadashi's shoulder, bouncing against his back. The naga's right hand was used to secure the backpack's position as he retreated to his bedside table to retrieve his cellphone. The device was promptly shoved into his pocket alongside a pair of headphones, meanwhile, his other pocket would hold his wallet. After a quick stretch, Tadashi exited his bedroom and entered the lavishly designed manor hallway. Servants were accomplishing their daily duties, smoothly moving around one another as they completed the lengthy list of chores. Naturally, they greeted him with a simple Good morning, Master Tadashi with some adding good luck at school! As a tradition, Tadashi responded with the usual good mornings and thank yous without any hesitation in his words. The Abbot family was filled with daily routines.
[break][break]
Once downstairs in the dining room, Tadashi snatched a banana muffin before exiting the room. Lunch would be purchased on this wonderful day, mostly because the youngest Abbot decided to temporarily avoid his parents. He overheard conversations revolving around Tadashi attending a date with his spoiled brat of a fiance. As he consumed his muffin, Tadashi hurried to the foyer to escape the manor before his parents could discuss the event with him. Under most circumstances, the young naga would request his older sister for a ride, however, he needed to leave immediately. The muffin was held between Tadashi's teeth as he tugged his thick, black jacket over his shoulders and double-checked for his temperature regulating bracelet. A sigh of relief escaped his lips when he noticed the bracelet around his wrist. Once the checks were complete, he tugged on his school shoes and exited the house consuming his breakfast. The walk was a long and cold one, however, the temperature regulating bracelet assured the frigid temperature would not reach him; he even kept a spare in his knapsack.
[break][break]
The young naga speed-walked through down the sidewalks, the November air making him refuse to doddle, thus he arrived at school quickly and entered the front. Upon entry, he hustled upstairs, unlocked the padlock on his locker with the combination and placed everything into his locker. Afterwards, his books were gathered into his arms, the locker locked and his phone placed on silent. For minutes, Tadashi waited outside the classroom, playing on his phone until the teacher arrived and class began. Class promptly began with taking notes, the redheaded naga carefully writing his notes until the work period came and nature's calling arrived. Thus, he raised a hand, requested permission to use the washroom, exited and did his business. On the way out of the washroom, he saw her, an attractive blonde hair girl with red eyes. She appeared to be exploring campus, and who better to provide her with a flirtatious friendly welcome than himself? A smirk crossed his face as he confidently approached, placing his hand on a locker to lean in a little bit.
[break][break]
"Hey, beautiful, you seem new around here. How about you tell me your name sweetheart? Haven't seen a girl as pretty as you in a long while," Tadashi flirtatiously welcomed.
[break][break]
The redhead's expression maintained a friendly disposition, his lips drawn up in a flirtatious smirk while his brown eyes were wide and welcoming. Carefully, Tadashi looked over the attractive blonde, promptly admiring her delicate physique, however, he was completely unaware the individual he spoke to was male. Fortunately, it would fail to deter the redhead's requirement to flirt.
Ian had been too focused on the map to notice Tadashi approaching him. Though as the footsteps became louder, he glanced up at the last second to see Tadashi right in front of him. Tadashi had placed his hand on the locker, he found himself stuck between Tadashi and the lockers behind him. The flirting had come out as somewhat as a surprise, but none so as the fact Tadashi had called him a girl. His face went pink from embarrassment as he pondered how he would go about answering him back. Well no sense in correcting him right this moment. He thought to himself, slowly having a small smile form on his lips. "Well aren't you sweet." He answered in return, attempting to play along with his game.
"We've only just met. Though feel free to tell me your name in return, handsome." He answered, still having that small smile on his face. I never thought I'd see the day where I'd be flirting with a guy, but damn is he so handsome. I'm curious on how far he will go with this. He thought to himself, keeping that small smile on his face as he looked up at Tadashi. The first person I meet chose to flirt with me, is everybody this welcoming? And to think my parents wanted to keep me from reaching out to other people. Though he knew the reason behind this, they wanted to keep tabs on their son and control who he made friends with. He glanced down at his map before peeking back at Tadashi. "Have you come to give me the grand tour?" He asked, lowering the map so that Tadashi would see that is the paper on the top of his stack.
If my family finds me, I'm going to have my work cut out for me, having to make sure that they don't harm the other students. I know they are out there somewhere and they won't be happy that I joined the TRS without their permission. Not that they would give it, just that they were out there somewhere, most likely plotting their revenge against me because I had refused to join AP.
Attractive and slender were the words Tadashi would use to describe the beautiful female. While she lacked a female figure, the redhead thought it was merely because she was going through puberty. Perhaps one day the mysterious young girl would bloom, however, Tadashi was not about to complain. Already, the young girl possessed an enchanting beauty for her youthful age, which was something the redhead could truly admire. A broad grin stretched across Tadashi's face as he trapped the blonde against the lockers. Upon earning the stranger's attention, Tadashi began observing her face, allowing the young man to analyze the beauty of her feminine features. When her face went pink with embarrassment over being spontaneously flirted with. The grin evident on Tadashi's face increased upon viewing the adorable, stretching wider across his lips. Enchanting red eyes framed by gorgeous, blonde hair on a wondrous feminine face maintained the attention of Tadashi's brown eyes; it was difficult to look away! There was definitely no harm in providing the beautiful, young lady with an extra friendly welcome. When a smile gradually breached the girl's lips, Tadashi offered a toothy grin back.
[break][break]
The response earned from his bold flirting made Tadashi quite pleased with himself. Clearly, the young girl enjoyed the forward approach, the redhead joyous over the answer.
[break][break]
"Only the sweetest responses for a dashing princess like yourself," Tadashi responded with a grin. "As for your prince charming, I'm Tadashi. Care to tell me your name, sweetpea?"
[break][break]
At the mention of providing the grand tour, a larger smile twitched on Tadashi's face. How could he possibly resist giving an attractive female a tour around the school? The opportunity presented itself to show the few romantic locations around Lorsette High School to a stunning girl. Considering Tadashi was ahead on his studies, requesting permission to help the newest student would be an easy escape.
[break][break]
"Lemme tell my teacher and I will join you," he joyous explained with a smile. "I'm pretty smart-" he stretched while saying, "sooooo, I bet my teacher would leap at the chance to have her smartest student show you around."
[break][break]
Promptly afterwards, Tadashi offered his hand to the magnificent young girl. There was something special about the ravishing blonde which made the redhead overzealous about this chance encounter.
[break][break]
"Care to join me, m' lady?" He stated playfully.
[break][break]
Once the blonde provided an answer to his invitation, Tadashi planned on leading her towards his classroom, although, he hoped the young girl would take his hand. It would be an enjoyable venture, and one he hoped to join her on.
Ian had noticed Tadashi's grin grow wider from his embarrassment. Two can play at this game. He thought to himself as he pondered how he'd counter. He had slowly formed a smile on his lips, noticing Tadashi's toothy grin back at him. Oh boy this is going to be so much fun. He thought to himself before responding back to him. Oh how it took a lot of effort to not laugh over Tadashi's mistake in believing him to be a girl, but he wasn't ready to give this game up just yet, oh no, he planned to drag it out as long as possible. The smile on his face stretched wider, "Promise?" He teased him in return, trying to dodge the name question at this time. I wonder if you'll take a prince instead. He thought to himself, secretly hoping this would be the case because Tadashi was just too addicting to part ways with, despite the fact they had only just met.
Instead of giving his name, he had asked if Tadashi would be giving him a grand tour of the campus, showing him the map so that he'd see that it was on top of the stack. He watched, clearly amused when Tadashi's grin had stretched wider before giving answer to his question. To his greatest pleasure, Tadashi seemed keen on staying with him till the end, too bad for him, he believed he was flirting with a girl instead of a boy. Tadashi offered his hand to him and he took it in his hand. "Of course I'd love to." He answered, slowly adjusting his hand so that he could intertwine their fingers together, before proceeding to follow him towards the classroom. I should tell him that I'm a boy.... but... god this is just too much fun to give up. Plus he might become upset with me and I'll feel so bad even though at the same time, he was the one that assumed. He thought to himself as he followed Tadashi down the hall.
As soon as the classroom would come into sight, he would pause for a moment, knowing that now would be better to mention his name rather then later, just in case. "I hope prince works too." He whispered before adding, "A prince Ian." He whispered, flirting back to him.
Tag, your it. He thought to himself, curious on Tadashi's reaction to figuring out that he was flirting with a boy this whole time. As fun as it had been having Tadashi flirting with him, believing him to be a girl, all good things would have to come to an end, if he wanted to make friendships, the joke could only go so far. So he had chosen to give his answer sooner, rather then later.
Thoroughly interested in the beautiful blonde, Tadashi fancied the idea of touring the young girl around the school and perhaps, showing off his prowess in flirting. Skillfully, he managed to persuade the enchanting maiden of spending time with him, which only took a single flirtatious line! Obviously, the naga's skills in infatuating others were improving, much to his delight. Plans needed to begin, particularly the ones revolving around being unfaithful to his fiance in a desperate hope the marriage would be called off. He despised disappointing his parents, but Tadashi was desperately attempting to avoid the arranged marriage they set up for him. Already, the naga knew he would never be pleased with that spoiled brat of a spouse, even if her strong naga genes allowed for children his parents would approve of. These responsibilities for a proper marriage were steadily hefted onto his shoulders at a young age, now the redheaded adolescent planned on accomplishing everything possible to disassemble the ridiculous agreement. Despite his darling princess dodging the name question, Tadashi obliviously proceeded allowing his admiring eyes to crawl; he hardly noticed the dodge.
[break][break]
When his blonde beauty desired a promise, Tadashi smiled and nodded. Anybody watching could quickly deduce that the redhead was enthralled by the stranger's beauty. Elegantly slender with hair which looked soft to the touch and a wonderfully feminine face. Soft hands graced Tadashi's when he requested the beautiful blonde's hand. A broad, lip-tight smile stretched across the naga's face, his elated countenance being a mixture of joy and a mild lovestruck. Once he held the blonde's hand, Tadashi turned to lead her down the hallway. As they walked, there was movement between their hands as the blonde adjusted to intertwine their fingers, making Tadashi's heart happily flutter. There was something special about this girl, something positively mystic. An initial interaction transformed into a peculiar connection based on no previous history; Tadashi could hardly explain his emotions towards her. They were mixed, yet, positive, almost as though something inside was aware of something he was not. The classroom arrived in their sights, excitement roaming through Tadashi's veins at the prospect of showing his classmates that adorable girl he found in the hallway.
[break][break]
Then whispered words reached his ears, Tadashi's eyes flitting at the girl- no, boy, walking alongside him. Astonishment was evident in his expression, the redhead clearly clueless that the male, named Ian, was actually a prince. Only a few seconds in did surprise subside to a sheepish smile. Admittedly, the naga was slightly embarrassed that he failed to realize Ian was a boy.
[break][break]
"A prince is perfectly fine," he whispered back softly.
[break][break]
Gently, Tadashi squeezed Ian's hand to provide the young boy reassurance in the topic of being a prince instead of a princess. Besides, the redhead was personally a fan of feminine boys, finding them adorable and sweet looking. Only moments later did Tadashi rap on the door, briefly waiting until a student opened it. With the threshold open, Tadashi boldly walked through, bringing Ian with him as he approached the teacher's desks. Students who gaze flitted up found their attention fixated because of the discovery of a new student to Lorsette High School. Meanwhile, the teacher's eyes lingered, a curious brow lifting as she noticed the individual Tadashi brought with him.
[break][break]
"Hey, Miss Penniwink? I found a new student in the hallway, and he needs help finding everything. Can I guide him around? Please? I already had my homework done for today anyways," Tadashi requested, smiling innocently.
[break][break]
A soft sigh escaped the dark-haired teacher's mouth as she pushed up her glasses. She wore straight-laced attire and took her job beyond seriously, but she was aware of Tadashi's marvellous grades because of his wealthy upbringing. [break][break]
"Very well, Mr. Abbott, but you better have the assignments for tomorrow finished," she responded, granting permission.
[break][break]
The smile on Tadashi's face broadened as he responded gleefully, "Thank you so much!"
[break][break]
Promptly, the wealthy naga guided Ian towards his desk, gathering his binders in preparation to leave the classroom. The hawk-eyed Miss. Penniwink observed from her desk, students curiously glancing as Tadashi gathered his things, piling them onto a single arm. Only moments later did he walk towards the classroom door, exiting and closing it behind him. The young boy was elated to be provided with the opportunity to lead Ian around the school and potentially learn more about the ravishing blond, however, first, he needed to stop at his locker. Thus, the tour began with Tadashi leading Ian to his locker, the naga quickly unlocking it to place his binders and books inside.
Ian watched as Tadashi looked straight at him. He couldn't help but smile, clearly amused that Tadashi had thought him to be a girl. It only lasted a few seconds before Tadashi gave him a sheepish smile. His heart couldn't help but skip a beat when Tadashi had told him that a prince was perfectly fine. Really? He thought to himself, excited that Tadashi had said those words to him. Oh how this school year was turning great already. Tadashi had squeezed his hand and he couldn't help but return the favor as he waited outside the class room door. Tadashi had knocked and another student had stood up from their desk to open the door for them. Tadashi started walking inside and he followed after him, feeling somewhat shy to be standing in front of the classroom. He was silent as Tadashi explained the situation with his teacher, further requesting permission to show him around since he was already ahead on his assignments.
"Thank you." He'd whisper to the teacher as he slowly followed after Tadashi who was headed towards his desk for his things. He slowly peeked at another of his papers, noticing this was one of the classrooms on his list. Without saying a word, he allowed the map to fall back in place on top of it before following Tadashi outside of the classroom, pausing when the door had been closed. They made their way towards the lockers, in the middle of Tadashi placing his stuff in his locker, he peeked at his papers once more, curious on where his was assigned at. He found himself glancing around, not that he had much time since Tadashi was only planning on placing his stuff inside of it before giving him a grand tour. In the middle of releasing his papers for the map to be on top, he lost his grip on accident, the stack falling on the floor. "Silly me, that is mybad." He answered, releasing Tadashi's hand, he bent to pick up his stuff, planning on placing the map back on top.
I wonder where all of these classrooms are at.... I know I have that teacher for one of them.... because I saw her on my list. Oh the pleasure of being in the same class as Tadashi is so thrilling. He thought to himself, reaching for more papers only to be met with a hand that wasn't his. Slowly his cheeks became pink as he came to realize he had bumped hands with Tadashi on accident, not that he'd mind, it was just a struggle to remain calm when he found himself entranced by him.
Gradually, binders, textbooks, pencils and other school-based items were returned to the comfort of Tadashi's locker. On the highest shelf were the binders and textbooks meanwhile pencils and pens were held in a cup secured by magnets. Everything was somewhat organized in the locker, the schedule being pinned to the locker door. Casually, Tadashi glanced over at the schedule was sorting the various items from that day's task. Fixation remained on the locker until finally, the sounds of rustling papers fluttering down. Hastily, Tadashi glanced over at the attractive blond, listening to the words which escaped the young boy's lips. When his brown noticed the spilt papers littered on the tiled, the ones Ian was previously holding. Based on a glance, the papers were apart of the school's introduction bundle, something designed to welcome students and assist with their familiarity with Lorsette High School. The redhead felt his hand released and watched as his blond companion kneeled to gather the scattered pieces of paper. Quickly, Tadashi shoved the remaining items into their respective places before bending down to help with picking everything up. Papers were carefully stacked in one arm, haste being focused on opposed to placement.
[break][break]
Suddenly, their hands bumped, the brief warmth shared between the connection making a small smile appear on Tadashi's lips. The redhead was not remotely bothered by the unexpected contact, especially since they were holding hands mere moments ago.Slowly, the naga glanced at the blond-haired man, the smile remaining across his lips as he straightened the paper stack before offering the pages.
[break][break]
"Here... you need these, right?" Tadashi said softly.
[break][break]
A broad smile was evident on the redhead's face as he provided Ian with the stack of papers. Admittedly, Tadashi was happy to assist Ian in gathering the papers from the floor. The blond man was beautiful, and personally, the redhead held a soft spot for feminine boys. There was a girl-like softness to their features which kept his eyes fixated on Ian's attractive face as he returned the papers. Slowly, the redhead's eyes locked with the papers, noticing the schedule, thus he quickly glanced over the simple table; they had plenty of matching classes, much to Tadashi's delight. Once the papers were returned to their owner, Tadashi reached for Ian's hand to intertwine the fingers.
[break][break]
"You know, we have a lot of the same classes," Tadashi stated with a smile.
[break][break]
Shortly afterwards, Tadashi opened his locker door further, allowing Ian a glimpse at the schedule held up by magnets on the door. The redhead's open hand pointed at some of the matching classes before smiling joyously at Ian. Excitement filled the naga's body since there was something special about this blond-haired boy. There were no doubts about the notion in Tadashi's mind.
Ian remained flustered when he noticed Tadashi's smile remaining on his lips, he sat back and took the stack that was handed to him, replacing it on top of his own, figuring he could organize it later. "Yes." He whispered, unable to control his breathing because he enjoyed being in Tadashi's company. Having the schedule on top of the pile, he was able to see which classes he had been assigned, taking Tadashi's hand in his, he couldn't help but feel more flustered when he heard Tadashi claim they have a lot of the same classes. Tadashi had opened his locker door further and there it was, the class schedule with the many classes that they shared and even the ones they didn't. He was determined as ever to memorize this, so that it would be easier to find Tadashi later.
This boy was a keeper after all, he'd have no chance in hiding from him, not that he would or had showed any signs, he just felt a great need in seeing him more often is all. "This is great." He whispered, pleased with the schedule. I get to be with a hot boy and make new friends. He thought to himself, keeping it to himself so that he didn't risk scaring Tadashi off. "Makes me wonder what else we share in common." He answered, teasing playfully, determined to fluster Tadashi back, whether he had been trying or not wouldn't matter because he still remained flustered and wanted the same from his Tadashi.
The smile proceeded to play across Tadashi's lips the longer he stared at Ian, the boy's feminine features keeping his eyes engaged. Those enchanting red orbs kept the naga's eyes locked onto the blond's for a few moments before inspecting the remainder of his face again. It was difficult to resist, the boy he discovered possessed an enchanting appearance, and so far, the personality to match those dashing looks. The whispered agreement was accompanied by unregulated breathing which prompted a soft chuckle to escape Tadashi's lips.
[break][break]
The freshly stacked pile of papers was topped with the blond's schedule. Hastily, Tadashi's eyes flitted towards the piece of looseleaf for another glance at Ian's classes. They shared a majority, however, the redhead wished to memorize the adorable man's schedule. A relationship could be discovered here and admittedly, the naga was curious about how large their connection would grow. First impressions proved there was an opportunity for something beyond friendship considering how comfortable Ian appeared over the flirting.
[break][break]
When their hands connected, heart flutters filled Tadashi's chest as a subtle pink breached his cheeks. Magical, magnificent, splendid, those were the words to describe their interaction, every second being enjoyed by the redheaded naga. Never did someone managed to manifest these feelings of giddiness, excitement and happiness. Ian was somebody special. Joyously, Tadashi warranted time for the blond to glance over his schedule. He would gladly provide the sweet boy with the chance to memorize his classes while praying he would be in Ian's company frequently.
[break][break]
The whispered words encouraged Tadashi's smile to broaden and his hand to softly squeeze Ian's. A simple squeeze designed to be symbolic of happiness over being able to spend more time together. What started as a mere attempt to thwart an arranged marriage was becoming something special and meaningful. The playful follow-up common to their shared classes caused a broad smile to touch Tadashi's lips accompanied by a slight blush.
[break][break]
"I would love to find out since it means I get to learn more about you," Tadashi flirted a playful return.
[break][break]
Once the words were stated, a flirtatious smirk crossed Tadashi's face as he glanced at Ian. The naga believed his flirtatious line was magnificent, thus, he wished to observe the blond's reaction to the comment. Harboured inside was a genuine desire to learn more about Ian, however, the game of hearts never ended after a mere few flirtatious lines and hand-holding. Considering how special the feminine blond was in mere seconds, Tadashi was determined to acquire knowledge about Lorsette High School's newest student.
Ian couldn't help but feel flustered as Tadashi stared at him, his smile was just so genuine and he was just so handsome too, he felt he was going into a trance the longer he stared back at him. Tadashi's chuckle made his cheeks flare pink as he became more embarrassed and his heart beats faster. He had caught Tadashi staring at his schedule and it couldn't help but make him feel pleased that Tadashi seemed interested in possible shared classes as much as he did. Their hands connected and he noticed Tadashi's cheeks going pink, he felt pleased, knowing he wasn't the only one feeling embarrassed over this. It also gave him encouragement of wanting to see Tadashi blush more in the near future. He felt Tadashi squeeze his hand, he returned the favor, enjoying this so much. He blushed when Tadashi gave his counter, oh how he loved the idea of having an excuse to spend time with Tadashi. "So handsome." He countered shortly after Tadashi's smirk had crossed his face. Two could play at this game and he wanted to see him blush some more. "Maybe a tour around the school isn't the only thing you could give me?" He teased him a flirting manner, seeing no harm in accepting tours elsewhere.
Feminine, beautiful and enjoyable, the first impressions between Ian and himself were manifesting a quick connection. Naturally, Tadashi would be required to learn more about his adorable prince charming before entering new levels of their relationship. There was a pause as the redhead remembered his fiance, the girl he despised wholeheartedly. Could he really start a relationship with this stunning blond? Ian held an ethereal beauty, however, Tadashi feared falling hard for the boy’s personality.
[break][break]
The chance of love festering between them meant potential heartbreak, however, the redhead was oddly determined to spend time alongside Ian. In mere moments, the blond captured his attention and Tadashi desired to increase the length of their interaction. Briefly, the naga's eyes drifted from Ian's schedule, returning to the beautiful blond's face where his heart skipped several beats. Those adorable, blond locks framed a fair face with brilliant amber eyes with a red tinge. A pinkish tint coloured the new student's cheeks, alluring and smile-inducing.
[break][break]
A compliment escaped those magnificent lips which prompted Tadashi's cheeks to redden further as he smiled at Ian. His dearest prince charming praised his appearance, suggesting an attraction existing between them. The flirtatious teasing made a coquettish expression stretch onto Tadashi's face.
[break][break]
"Perhaps something a little more romantic?" Tadashi suggested playfully.
[break][break]
Cheerfulness coated his words as the redhead's brown eyes shifted, locking on his enchanting companion. Their hands clasped together as Tadashi took the point, slowly walking to spent ample amounts of time with Ian. He felt as though he could wander these hallways for an eternity if he could hold Ian's hand the entire time.
Ian couldn't help but feel pleased that he had managed to fluster Tadashi even more, it was only fair since he had started it. "I'd love to." He answered in return, knowing there were dangerous around every corner, but he wanted to get close to Tadashi. He wanted to make connections with the other students here, he didn't heave time to fear possible consequences from his family, determined as ever to protect them all. His training with the TRS had gone smoothly and he was on his way to become even stronger as a TRS hunter. He followed Tadashi, gaining a grand tour as they walked down the halls. Thoughts crossed his mind, would it be safe to give Tadashi his phone number? He had around the same time of joining the TRS so that he would be able to communicate with his mentor.
There were dangers to anybody taking his phone and searching through his contacts but it would be a shame to part ways with Tadashi, even if just a brief second, though he knew that he wouldn't be able to stay with him forever, people had lives outside of school, outside of being with little old him. Hell, he had a job to uphold, so he would be required to step away to handle that as well. "When?" He would ask, trying to set a date for another tour that'd be more romantic. He had been all over the city becoming somewhat familiar with it thanks to his training, however, that wasn't to say he was familiar with all of the landmarks here. He never had a chance to be in any of them, somewhat curious on the popular spots around here. Plus he was able to work when ever, since there were always missions lurking around. His eyes wandered around as he memorized the school layout, thanks to the tour Tadashi was providing to him.
Offers of a more romantic scene exited Tadashi's mouth automatically, and he admittedly was already planning the ideal date for the adorable blond. Firstly, the redhead required more information for his romantic desires, specifically with Ian's familiarity with Lorsette. If Ian was completely new to the area, Tadashi felt as though he had the perfect plan to make the young blond swoon. There were many sights throughout the city, the redhead planning to have introduce Prince Ian to each location on a lengthy walk throughout the city.

Meanwhile, the walk itself was an opportunity to increase his familiarity with the attractive, feminine boy. Then as they reached their final steps together, Tadashi would escort Ian to Starlight Cliff before settling on the bench to witness the sun play across the waves. Then perhaps before they leave the breath-taking cliffside scenery, he would lean in, lips puckered before he innocently kissed the blond's lips. The plan was perfection, something with subtle romantic vibes without overdoing everything and making his flirtatious acquaintance uncomfortable.

As they moved, Tadashi pointed at a pair of classrooms before speaking, "That is the computer room on the left and the other is usually the English classroom, sometimes it changes."

The redhead explained everything with a broad, toothy grin. Giddily, he proceeded down the school corridors, Ian's hand tightly clasped in his own. A warmth was shared between their palms, pleasant, heart-fluttering and beautiful in Tadashi's opinion. There were a few girls and boys from his class that the naga flirted with, however, Ian provided special sensations by merely allowing him to hold his hand. As they continued through those hallways, Tadashi found his eyes slowly moving to fixate on the young man standing beside him.

His brown eyes fixated, analyzed and admired the blond's attractive features again. The action was irresistible since Ian possessed those stunning traits Tadashi searched for. The simple, one-word question fueled Tadashi's large smile.

"How about this weekend? I can show you around town, maybe we could watch the moonrise then take a taxi home?" Tadashi suggested.

These were the moments he wished Starlight Cliff and Lorsette was on the western side of Newfoundland. A pleasant sunset over the ocean's waters would be wonderful, however, Tadashi believed the moon could create a marvellous splendour. Alas, he needed to hope Ian's parents would allow him outside long enough.
Ian looked as Tadashi gave him a tour of the school. He would nod his head slightly as means of understanding as he chose to remain silent, enjoying every second of Tadashi's precious time spent with him. Every once in a while, his eyes would wander back towards Tadashi, having preciously looked around them as means to become familiar with the school, eye contact encouraged a blush to increase on his cheeks as he breathed faster from embarrassment. Having Tadashi's attention was a pleasant experience and he felt somewhat greedy in having to share Tadashi with others, not that he'd admit it. He'd smile at Tadashi, sure he was the one flustered, but if Tadashi thought he wouldn't play ball, he had another thing coming.
He'd find a way to fluster him in return and thankfully he had this whole tour to do so. For now, he'd remain silent because he wasn't sure what he could say as a counter. The silence was short lived when Tadashi had asked him about this weekend, offering to show him around town. "I'd love to." He whispered, squeezing Tadashi's hand as means to prove how excited he was at the idea over this. "Maybe if your good, I'll give you my phone number." He flirted, planning on giving it to him anyway, he just liked the idea of proceeding with their tour first, not in a rush for it to end anytime soon. Alright, now what else could I say to possibly fluster him? He thought to himself as he paid attention to Tadashi, refusing to miss anything that would be said to him.
