Why exactly did Tyren come outside? It didn't really occur to Vy until she listens to him talk about how pointless the academy is. Could of taken the words right out of her mouth. Sure, Ty's always been one of the friends in their group, but she never really did take the time to get to know him that well. Which brings up the question even more of why he's out here. Not once did she see him as a smoker as well, but nonetheless he slips a cigarette between his lips and a flame sparks another one alive. Okay, so he's one for a cig every now and then to. Never would of expected that, still a reasonable explanation for joining her. With the moderate role she plays in the group she figured no one would bother following. And if someone did that means something's wrong. Apparently not though...?

"Didn't think you smoked." Vy comments with little shock in her voice. It's not really a big deal though it feels slightly strange to see him smoke. Whatever floats his boat though. Should she of offered him one? Especially since he bought the first rounds of beer. Next time, after all more drinks usually equals more smoke breaks. "I feel you on the academy though." She adds in as clouds seep from his lips, following with a drag herself on her own cigarette.

If only this was a casual smoke and lighthearted conversation though, because soon after Tyren brings up Mark. For a second Vy's face shifts into her usual blank look before returning back to the casual, drinking blank look. Large different as her beer expression lacks the intimidation it often holds otherwise. Is he asking this because Mark told of their one night stand? Or simply a coincidence and he's going to give a career story? Only time will tell. Assuming the worst will do no good, lying won't do any better. Fair middle. "Yeah," she admits honestly. "Why?" After the incident with Jeran she doesn't need another story floating around.

We've loved and lost

Alex, Tyren and Adina - District Two - Eighteen

"Is that a tear in your eye, I see?" Matt jokes with Alex. Alex just shrugs a little, he's being quite serious; He genuinely cares that he isn't in the same situation that Alex could have been in, and Adina. "It's going to be fine. Don't worry about me. You made your choice. I make mine." Alex shakes his head. "They won't just let you get away with it. I'm sorry, but it's the truth." They go off to dance and Adina and Alex are alone at the table, next to each other. "Al, give me your hand." She asks him, smiling widely. "What? Oh, right?" He gives her his hand. Hers are so soft to him. His opinion of her is bias from one side of the continent to the other, but they really are. She puts his hand on her stomach.

Their daughter.

His eyes widen, because for a moment... He just witnessed the first signs of life that his daughter gave. "How long has she been doing that?" He asks in a bit of shock. "All day, I didn't think that's what it was at first." They hold hands for a moment, because it's a moment that he doesn't want to forget. He squeezes tight on her hand, and he pecks her on the cheek.

"Didn't think you smoked." Tyren nods, exhaling a flow of smoke into the air. "Yeah, me neither. Started a while ago. Don't tell the others." He started because he and Jeff acquired some. Jeff is one of his friends, mainly because he is one of Alex's friends, but Jeff was trying to convince Tyren not to; that smoking really does kill. But that's what happens when you dare Tyren to do something, and he's drunk. He'll just go for it, and probably forget about it. The only trouble was, he woke up with the cigarettes still in his pocket, so now he has a compelling nature to continue. It's innate, thanks to the chemicals. It's not a good thing at all, but it is something he doesn't care about; he enjoys them.

Tyren asks Vy about Mark. Tyren isn't stupid, he and Mark talk a lot for many reasons. "Yeah." She replies. "Why?"

"I don't know, you tell me." He chuckles. "Did you er..." A pause. "Well let me just ask whether he's telling me the truth. I didn't take you for a bottom, Vy." He bursts into laughter.

On Vacation

Adina and Alex both choose not to dance. Why. I'm not sure but it's okay. This way I get to spend this moment only with Kyanite and don't get as embarassed as I would with others around.
Together we move a little to the music and it feels quite natural. Not forced. I'm not the worlds best dancer but I do alright,I think. My girl friend seems to be pleased with it.
The conversation however becomes serious again when she asks me with a voice filled with concern.

"I'm not sure, Matthew. What if they do find out you're with me? They'll kick you out. I mean, it seems pretty serious and all. I can see you want this though. You know? You seem almost more passionate about going there then you were about the pregames. You've grown... instead of games, it's a career your after. If I'm in the way of that... I'll gladly let you persue it. I mean, I don't want you to get into any trouble."

She voices a few things that have been going through my mind as well but with the whole Jins incident and trying to recover and catch up to the other cadets I've been preoccupied.
"Thay won't kickmeout. If they wanted to kick me out they would have done it already. They have plenty of reasons. I mean I've been caught off base with Tyren, your brother managed to shoot my vest and capture all suspects alone instead of me getting mine, I'm two weeks behind. Honestly I don't even know why I'm still there. I guess they've figured out that I'm pretty good when it comes to fighting, my tactics are great and I know the darn rules and regulations inside out." I'm telling these things more to myself than her to make it plausible why I'm still part of the program rather than bragging to her.

her last words ring in my head though "If I'm in the way of that... I'll gladly let you persue it." I stop moving and place my hand on her arm wondering what she's implying.
"What do you mean?" I cock my head to the side because it sounds like she thinks I'd rather not be with her but focus on the academy.
"Are you trying to say that you think I'm still a selfish bastard?" I'm not completely serious about my words.
"I think by now you'd figured out what you mean to me. I wouldn't even have made it this far without you."
I'm not sure why I'm saying this because without Jins I'd probably be a hell of a lot better of but Jins is not Kyanite. She gives me strength in a weird way.
PartlyI'm doing this to impress her plus I just didn't want the senseless beating anymore. The academy makes sense to me.

Ky starts dancing again and wraps her arms around my neck. I stand still for another moment but then join her.
"... that doesn't mean it has to effect us right now, though. Weekends are ours. Away from the academy, does it really even matter?"
She's taking a 180 degree turn.
"Not as long as nobody knows we're together. Plus it's not like we're married." That sounds ridicuous to my ears.

"Another dance or shall we go back and finish our drinks?"
Some slow music comes on so I nod to her and let my hands slip down to her waist.
Under my finger tips I feel the curve of her hips and her gentle swaying to the music. I let my thoughts drop from ou previous subject and pull her closer to just dance with her.
"Don't worry so much. Close your eyes. Just be with me."
It's all I want right now. Every other bridge will be crossed when we get there.
I close mine for a moment as well to listen to the beat of the slow rhythm and feel her move against me. It's a sensual feeling. One that only Kyanite can give me. It gives me a sense of longing and belonging.
No matter what the academy says, "You're mine and I'm not dropping you."

They'll either want to kill you, kiss you, or be you.

I'm always thinking of everyone else but myself. I'm always trying to protect those that I love and care for. No matter if it hurts me in the process, the people around me deserve to have everything they want. They deserve to be happy and grow. Telling Matthew all of this though, about letting me go in order to persue his current path has a pinch in my heart to let him go should he choose it, but I keep giving him options. Instead of fear of being kicked out, he assures me that everything that he's been through, they've kept him despite it all. That sounds awesome and all, but I still feel like I'm holding him back. You're just over reacting, Ky. Just chill.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to say that you think I"m still a selfish bastard?"

Immediately, I'm shaking my head and I notice that we've stopped dancing. So, in responce, I move back just a little from him. "No. I don't mean anything bad by it at all. I just feel like I'm holding you back, you know? If you want to go further, I want you to be happy and try. I want you to do what you want." I explain.

"I think by now you'd figured out what you mean to me. I wouldn't even have made it this far without you." A small grin comes to my lips. Is that just trying to make me feel better about the whole situation? How can I tell with you Matthew? Is what you say true? I'm curious. Actually, I'm more than curious why he said that because I feel he'd be better off without me because of the trouble that seems to follow.

I don't say anyting after that, but just let my arms wrap around his and give him the turn around of the weekends being ours. That the academy can't effect us outside of where he's seen. Whose going to tell? Alex or Adina? What if they do say something? Tyren wouldn't, I know that, as for Alex, I don't think so. Adina? PLease ADina. Don't say anything before you leave. Don't give us away.

The next song that comes on defines the answer I ask about dancing again, or drinking. Of course, I already kinda knew which he'd pick and to show his hands slip down to my waist and holds me close to him. The slow tempo moves us even slower, allowing us to mingle together and enjoy the sudden closeness.

"Do'nt worry so much. Close your eyes. Just be with me."

"I am with you... and I am enjoying this so much." I move with the beat; each step to each quick turn of the notes even though the music is set so low and sensual. My breathing becomes soft and I feel limber in his arms. I question him with my eyes and hold that gaze for a mere moment before he tells me that he's not going to let me go. That I am all his. Every time he says something like that, it melts my heart just a little and draws my need for him even more. With a shake of my head, I lean up to him, touching his lips with my own, not caring who may be watching. This is our time. As the kiss breaks a little, I give him a coy smile.

"So, when do we get to test out that theory of you not dropping me?" I tease him and give him another kiss on the lips before heading back over to the table with Alex and Adina. I can't help the plastered look of happiness on my face and take up the drink I had before. As if thirst had taken over my need, I down the last little bit without worry. "So, Adina, have you picked out a name yet? Due date? Anything like that?"

There's one major thing that sets who Vy's willing to sleep with, they can't be the type to kiss and tell. If anyone were to really observe her they may consider her a slut despite her lack of a flirtatious personality. When it comes to topping off the night she's not very discriminative as long as they're attractive and know what they want. One things for sure though, she prefers the ones that'll keep it as a one night stand. Not the guys that go bragging afterwards. Obviously that's what Mark has done though, and Tyren doesn't even need to say another word for Vy to figure that out. Just please let her be wrong, have this as only a funny career joke or anything! But of course not...

Immediately her expression fades from that rare casual look. She doesn't want to tell Tyren how she knows his cousin, she wants this to be a hilarious coincidence. Teeth grinding together as she listens to what he has to say, her heart pounding with anticipation and concern. He's just as unsure as she is though, and takes the easy route with questioning if his cousin's lying or not. The way he puts it though, now that's something. Automatically her left fist rams into his shoulder, though not with all the power she contains. "Shut the hell up!" She demands with an angered face. How dare he call her a bottom. "We both took turns." Shit, she just admitted to sleeping with Mark. Anything to correct the idea that she's a bottom.

Another drag of her cigarette is a must, and crossed arms follow. "Why the frack did he tell you this?" Obviously he didn't stop at the fact that they slept together. Man is he going to get it if they ever run into each other again, and not in the good way. The biggest curiosity though is why Tyren's bringing this up now though. "And why the hell do you even care?" She has to address, holding back from letting her fists do anymore talking.
