Silence in the Night ((Quidel/Laina/Angelo))

[Angelo Nyx]

Angelo walked through dark forest just outside Jokadi. His best friend, Kalil, had thrown a party. It had been getting out of hand, and the cross breed had decided to leave for awhile, not feeling comfortable. He felt bad about it though. Not just because it was Kalil’s party, but also he had been convincing his older brothers, Shadow and Nebula, to let him go for weeks. They had known it would get out of hand, but Angelo hadn’t believed them.

The boy sighed and brushed a few dark strands of hair out of his face. His wide blue-grey eyes landed on a nearby tree that looked great for climbing. He grinned and gracefully skipped over to it. He climbed up and sat on one of the higher branches, getting a good view of Jokadi. He could even see the prince’s castle far in the distance. A smile fell on his face as he sat in the tree, completely relaxed and content with being here. Moving his feet back and forth he simply sat there, doing nothing. After awhile he had the eerie feeling that he was being watched. He glanced over his shoulder and all around, seeing nothing he bit his lip and wondered if he should change into an animal and head back into the city. He shook his head; they were so close to the border no one would come after him. Right? The boy shrugged to himself and continued watching the city.

[Quidel Midas]

Quidel stood at the doorway of some party, watching all the people as they twisted and turned around each other. He wasn't sure whose party it was though. He had gone on a walk and had seen the crowd pouring into the house he was standing in. He followed them in, feeling that the party would provide some excellent food choices.

At least, he had thought so...So far, nobody had caught the attention of his pastel eyes. Though he had caught a few other peoples' wandering gaze. He didn't care though; they weren't what he wanted.

The incubus pushed off the wall he was leaning on and moved into the throng of people. He felt the vast amounts of sexual energy floating around the air and flicked his tongue out to taste the sweet and spicy flavor of it. He felt the energy turn to liquid fire in his mouth and shivered as it shot down to lay in his belly. A nice snack, but hardly a meal.

He kept pushing through the mass of bodies and finally reached the door on the other side. He pushed it open and breathed in deeply, smiling at the cold licking his skin. It was a nice sensation after such heat. It cleared his head a bit even and the sound of music drifted through his mind.

The 'night' was especially beautiful. It seemed to hold an untold amount of secrets and stories within the endless midnight blue sky, the stars glittered brighter then ever, and the moon was a giant golden orb high within space. Suddenly, the pale young man wanted nothing more then to sketch the scene; especially since he could just imagine the music that always helped him out playing in the background. He hadn't brought his notepad though...

He sighed and sat down on the concrete steps leading out to the yard. He crossed his long legs out in front of him and folded his arms against his chest. The white-haired youth frowned as he heard his stomach rumble and he knew that it was inevitable that he had to head back in, but he wanted to observe the peace just a bit longer...

Quidel's eyes trained upon a lone tree in the lawn and blinked clear-blue eyes in confusion, wondering if he had really just seen someone climb up in there. He intently decided to watch the tree, hoping to see if his eyes had been playing trick on his or not.

(-Sorry about length. First posts always seem to come out the longest...^^''-)

[Laina Dafydd]

Laina packed up the rest of his things: putting pencils and paints into a small suitcase and folding up his home-made easil. He sighed softly; it was the time of day on Jeskara that most people were home with their families... or out partying. Business had been slow, and Laina was getting cold, so he packed up his stuff and headed home. As he walked home, he counted the number of houses that had loud music and people toppling out the doors... So far, he was at ten. He glanced around hm. eleven.... The side of the house was facing the street, Laina side glanced into the backyard and stopped. He saw a man light blonde hair and nice clothes lounging against the steps leading to the yard. He stopped and stared for bit, watching the man as he watched the trees. oh wow... he's beautiful..... if I could paint something like that... just once! he thought dreamily. His suitcase slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a clatter. Laina jumped with a yelp, his mind hadn't been all there and the sound had frightened him, he picked the suitcase up quickly and ran away. He didn't look back, the man had undoubtedly heard him, and Laina didn't need the embarressment.


((sorry it took so long to get it out... -_- *sigh*))

[Angelo Nyx]

Angelo looked around again, the feeling of being watched still not going away. And it was creepy. His eyes landed on a boy with white blonde hair, staring at ‘his; tree. The dark haired boy grinned, excited that he found the source of his uneasiness. In a split decision he jumped out of the tree, fully intent on asking what the man was doing. Only, when he was in the process of falling he heard a sound. When he looked over a boy with silver hair was running towards him… actually, right under him. When the cross breed landed, he landed on the poor boy. “Hmph,” he mumbled.

[Quidel Midas]

Quidel looked up, startled. He had heard a loud sound just a minute ago and now looked up to see two...very lovely boys on top of each other. He grinned as he stood up a strode over to the two.

"Are you both okay?" he smoothly asked as he approached. He had seen how one of the young men had fallen from the tree onto the boy with the red scarf. That had to have hurt... He held up his hand and pulled the two to their feet before flashing a grin at them.

"So who are you exactly? Besides a pair of fallen stars splayed across the ground?"

[Laina Dafydd]

Laina blushed and discreetly rubbed his back. Ow! Where'd that guy come from?....ah! It's him! wow... he's even prettier up close! he thought. He turned to the other boy, the one that had mysteriously appeared on top of him. wow! are ALL rich people pretty? "Umm... I... I'm Laina. Laina Dafydd. It's a pleasure... errr... it's nice to meet you."

[Angelo Nyx]

Angelo rubbed his neck. "I'm Angelo Nyx!" he said quietly. He glanced over at Laina and then at Quidel, though he didn't know his name yet. They gorgeous! He blushed brightly at his thoughts. "What's your name?"

[Quidel Midas]

Quidel laughed lightly before bowing. He took one of each of the two boys hands and kissed the knuckles. He looked at them and smiled.

"You're right," he said, nodding slightly at Laina. "It is a pleasure." He winked a clear blue eye at them and his smile grew.

"So why were either of you standing here...or more correctly, lying here in the cold?"

[Laina Dafydd]

Laina blushed furiously and ducked his head. "I-I was walking and... and he fell on top of me... I would rather not be lying on the ground in this frigid weather," he mumbled. He decided not to mention that he was running,.. or the fact that he had been staring at the man. "B-but you didn't answer his question, sir. If it's not too bold... what is your name?"

[Angelo Nyx]

Angelo blushed more, from the kiss and from Laina saying he fell on him. "I'm really sorry about that, Laina!" he exclaimed. "I wasn't watching where I was jumping!" he said regretfully. "I-I hope I didn't hurt you," he said quietly before glancing at Quindel. "Are you going to tell us your name? I mean that in the most respectful way, too!"

[Quidel Midas]

Quidel blinked before chuckling. "I guess I did forget. Weird..." He shook his head before continuing. "My name's Quidel. Quidel Midas, at your...service," he said as he took another bow.

[Laina Dafydd]

Laina blushed and bowed as well. His parents had always taught him to be respectful to people of a higher standing than him... which was most people, but still. "I do not wish to be rude, but my family is waiting for me at home. If I don't hurry, they're sure to worry. So, if you don't terribly mind, I'll be on my way. It's was... very nice to meet you both." And with that he picked up his things, noticing that he was going to have to repair his easil when he got home, and walked away, turning back once to smile and wave.

[Angelo Nyx]

"But...," Angelo mumbled. "You can't leave...," he whispered without realizing it or knowing why. The boy just felt like... if Laina left it was wrong. But the he was already leaving. Sighing, the dark haired boy glanced up at Quidel and sighed again.

[Quidel Midas]

Quidel heard Angelo's whisper and he had to agree. It seemed wrong that Lania was leaving...and for once, it wasn't just his stomach who was arguing. He looked over at Angelo and sighed softly. "So you feel as though you just missed something really important?" he asked.

At the smaller boy's slight nod, he frowned. "I want to go after him almost...Ask him what it is we missed. There's just...," he trailed off before he began trying to catch up with the white-haired young man who had just left them. Something within him said that he wanted...needed, maybe....Well, he had some sort of attachment to Lania, but what? And why was it the further he stepped from Angelo, the worse the needy feeling got? Was he just really hungry...or was it something more?

No matter, he was an Incubus...And his kind almost always achieved what they were after.

[Laina Dafydd]

As Laina walked, he heard the sound of shoes tapping as someone approached. The Jshiko turned around and saw Quidel running towards him. what's he doing? Is something the matter? He'd noticed as he walked away that an empty feeling was carving itself into his chest. He'd figured it was just because he'd been able to see two such beautiful people and he probably wouldn't be able to recreate them on paper... that kind of beauty is recreatable. But now, as Quidel came towards him, a part of the emptiness dissappated, he was beginning to rethink that theory. "Mr. Midas? What's the matter?"
