It Started With a Book [Jaryn/Xandyr]

[mesmu]

Xandyr's head shakes as he yawns again, "Naw, I sleep the night away... Its more of EDS seeming than anything." He then gives a shrug of his own. "Mom is afraid I have some form of hypersomnia or something. I looked it up and I don't think it quite fits."

He then glances towards where the ball from earlier had fallen, his eyes roaming over it a moment before commenting, "So why soccer? And why mystery novels?" Its a simple curiosity, not one he would normally have, but the other had already inquired about his sleeping habits and preferred times of day. "And I'm an any time person, any time I am awake that is." Though he's quite peaceful in his sleep, or so his co-workers insist, part of the reason they conveniently "forget" to let him know his alarm is going off.

"They're what my muse picked this week."

He shrugged and chuckled.

"See.... I drift. Place to place, person to person, hobby to hobby. So far, I've never met anything that held me too long. Every so often something will catch my eye; I'll get this insatiable, uncontrollable urge to move along and try it or go there or talk to them... mystery noels are probably going to be my thing until I get a halfway decent manuscript and soccer's a close second. I love the team aspect, how everyone works off of everyone else... but of course the guy who kicks the goal is always the star.... that's the drawback of sports...."

He smiled. "So, hypersomnia, huh? Nah, I don't think so. You're just kind of a lazy cat type guy, I think...."

He laid back in the grass.

"We're both really laid-back guys, huh?"

[mesmu]

"Lazy cat type guy...?" He shrugs. Could it just be he's lazy by nature? No matter the answer he's fine with it. "Well.......... Maybe we both are." And, for the time being, he could easily relax and, yes once again, fall asleep... Even if the guy who was just hitting on him yesterday is laying... right... there...

[itsherfault]

He chuckled a little bit, looking down at the boy whose amber eyes were closed in sleep. He was so peaceful-looking - like he didn't have any kinds of troubles or cares.

Made him ant to almost take a nap himself. He closed his eyes and let himself drift off into that place between awakeness and sleep that could last for hours or for minutes - but he would know when the other boy woke up, for sure. He made sure of it.

[mesmu]

Well, the two of them lay there for hours. But, of course, eventually something does manage to come to an end. A kid, probably just learned how to ride, zips by on a their bike... And is ringing those bells that are attached to them.

The sound causes Xandyr to awaken, eyes flashing open and his back tensing up. His eyes flick around before he sighs and grumbles. He stretches out, whining in the back of his throat as he does. Maybe he shouldn't of slept in that position, it wasn't very good for his back...

Yawning again he lays back and stretches out, his eyes closing contently. When he opens them he freezes. Okay, maybe laying within and inch from the person next to you is a bit strange. Try less than half an inch.

One of Jaryn's eyes opens lazily. "Well, good morning, 'honey'; have a nice nap?"

He's smiling cheekily.

[mesmu]

A small frown appears on Xandyr's facial features before he grabs his pillow and taps the other on the face with it, "Its hardly morning, I'm not a sweet, but yes... The nap was great."

[itsherfault]

Jaryn sat up, grinning.

"Well, now, you're certainly sweet when you're sleeping. Just like a kitty-cat." He ruffled the other boy's hair before springing to his feet, laughing. "Y'know, I think I've found my first friend in this place. What do you think? Or do I need ot randomly show up at your work a few times...?"

[mesmu]

Xandyr shakes his head to unmess up his hair, then sits up, stretching once more. He shrugs, not really minding one way or another, "Weren't you planning on doing that anyways." He does not mention however that the other had proclaimed them pretty much friends either and he didn't deny it, he doesn't want to come off harsh or mean or anything... Besides... what's the harm? They surely could be friends if they put their minds to it.

[itsherfault]

"Yeah, but if we're friends, it won't be creepy. Right...?"

He grinned.

"Come on, you look like you don't have many friends yourself... you seem that kind of lonely type guy. So, y'know... I wanted to help you be not so lonely. Maybe."

He put his hands behind his head. In truth, he didn't really understand what was attracting him to this guy. It was like finding a new hobby - but better. He got this way about some people.

And those people usually left.

It never ended well. Either he was going to leave... or Jaryn would, called off by his own deranged 'muse' and the other person would either be unable or unwilling to follow...

[mesmu]

"I guess not," Xandyr nods to himself. "Its just, we barely know each other is all..." And you could be some major creep.

But to the next words he shakes his head a bit, "I've got a couple people I consider friends... I just, ya know, prefer to be alone... That way I'm less likely to fall asleep on them."

[itsherfault]

"Friends have to start somewhere, right?" he asked, putting his hands in his pockets. "Anyway, I don't mind if you fall asleep on me. And if you're worried about it, why don't we go do some stuff together so that we can get to know each other more? Then you'd be okay with being friends, right...?"

[mesmu]

He pauses before standing with a nod, "Yes. That would work." He then looks to jaryn. "Well, where ever you would like to go then."

[itsherfault]

"Well, hey, it's you that wants to go do something - you pick the venue." He grinned.

[mesmu]

he pauses again, picks up his pillow and packs it before nodding, "Alright. Ice cream, movies... mall...?" He sighs, not really sure what to do or anything, he doesn't really care, as long as the two have fun he''s down for it.
