Aaron got off the computer, letting the incandesant light die out as he turned the monitor off. He got up and grabbed a glass of water, hands visibly shaking. Why did he have to be such a baby? Why couldn't he just take the dreams, or take the pills? He was too afraid of the dreams. Too afraid of everything.
At the moment, the boy was wearing nothing but some loose plaid pants, his pale, skinny torso looking even smaller from the elastic waistband. Not that he cared- Not that he cared you could see his ribs, that his collarbones stuck out in a way that some called beautiful, some called gross. He wasn't loosing weight, or eating less- he was just made that way. small.
Small. the word echoed through his mind as he set the half-empty glass of water on the counter of the empty dorm. Usually, James was there to comfort him. He wasn't here now- he had been gone all night, probably wouldn't be home until late tomorrow. He had to ask someone to come over, to sleep with him, to chase the nightmares away.
Was that pathetic, or what? He wondered, hoping Luna was on her way. [/sup]

Walking down the halls with a duffel bag on her side, Luna walked towards Aarons room. She was wearing basketball shorts and a baby-tee that was blue. It read: Spoiled Rotton..She had long socks on.She looked rediculous, but she didnt care. Knocking on his door, she waited.
She knew he hated the night mares.. Gladly enough, the girls werent at the dorm at the time. She left them a note just saying to call her..She looked around, just to make sure that noone saw her come here..But, like noone will tell. She had gum in her mouth. She blew a bubble and smiled. Her hair was in pink tails, why? She was bored.

The boy jumped as he heard the hollow sound of knuckles on wood- Luna was here. He rushed to the door, not even bothering to but a shirt on as he opened the door- hair messy and eyes sunked, he must have looked a mess. "uh...hey," he whispered, beckoning her in. He closed the door behind her, relizing for the first time how terrible the dorm looked. "oh, wow... sorry about the mess." he tried to clean up a bit as she stood- picking up dirty clothes, closing old boxes of pizza... he couldn't put all the blame on James, though quite a bit of it was his.
"I..." he begun, running a hand through his hair and biting his lip once more. "Uh, thanks for showing up. I... I'm sc-scared of sleeping alone. How stupid is that?" he laughed, trying to make it humourous. It was overly pathetic. [/sup]

She laughed."hey...Lets get 1 thing straight, #1, I dont care about the mess. I got a mess at my dorm..Dont feel bad. and #2, Like I said on the internet, its fine....the girls arent there anyways...."She said walking into the dorm. It was a tad messy, but, she was used to it.."You arent stupid, your just scared.."She replied again looking at him. She could blame James for this, but it would be very wrong..
"Stop cleaning...Its fine...Stop it..."She replied.Just because she was there, didnt mean he had to clean..She was just helpin a friend out. She then walked to the couch and just stood there looking around."This is better than my dorm.." SHe said quietly.Her eyes blinked and looked at him.I rather be in Australia now! I got a better life there than here. But. Oh well, next summer will be better. She thought to herself as she nodded.

Aaron felt releived, to know his friend was there. He felt as if he didn't make it up to her, though, he'd scare her away... Not stupid, just scared... Scared didn't seem that nice of an alternative at the moment. He was sixteen years old! shouldn't he be able to handle a little nightmare... He crossed his thin arms over his cold, bare stomach, wondering where Luna would sleep... There really was no where except the couch, and James' bed- The couch was too far away and would defeat the purpose of her being there, and James' bed... well, you just don't want to go there. Sleep with him? It wasn't as if they'd do anything- it was more like two girls sleeping i nthe same bed at a slumber party, if you thought about it.
"You've got nowhere to sleep..." the boy mused, scowling as he gave up on his mad efforts to tidy up, throwing the bunched up clothes in a heap near the front door. "I'm sorry..." [/sup]

She just stared at him.She knew he felt bad..She closed her eyes then opened then quickly."Its fine..Just please, Just because Im here, doesnt mean you got to clean.."She said to him..She smiled slightly and dropped her duffel bag onto the ground..She then chuckled and looked around.
"Hey, dont be sorry.."She said to him smiling..Where was she going to sleep? Ohh, she forgot, she had her daquiri in her hands. She took it up to her mouth and took a sip."Wanna taste this? Its strawberry."She asked.
*short, I know..I got to goo..Byezzz........*

I sooo thought I already replied to this!!! I am sooooooo sorry, dear. "No more cleaning." he repeated, almost in a daze. He collapsed on the couch, Head in his hands as he scowled again. She offered him some of her drink, and offer that he polietly declined. All he wanted to do was sleep... but, with a friend over now, that would probably seem rude, even if that was the only reason why she was here. I'll sleep in an hour, he told himself, pulling himself up. Hopefully, there won't be any dreams...
"Bathroom's down the hall if you need it, or just need to get changed, or something," Aaron informed her, pointing down a dark-green hall with pictures hanging. It was quite obvious that their mother had decorated the Dorm, With many black and white pictures of the two twin boys when they were much younger. It was hard to tell them apart then, blonde hair and brown eyes... Now, people hardly believed them to be related. "Don't slip on the rug, It moves," he warned rather irrelevently, yawning as he spoke.
"Thanks, Again." He said after a long moment of silence- He couldn't thank her enough for being here. "It... er... really means a lot to me. Usually I don't need to call someone, with J-" He stopped, blushing. "Usually I'm fine." Damnit! He'd totally just admitted that he slept with his brother. Not that anything went on or anything, this was no incest-fest, but it was a bit awkward. He usually only did when the dreams got really bad, or after he had woken up in the middle of the night, trembling and disoriented, not quite fully conscious. And James said He'd kill him if he told anyone- Even if the boy let him crawl into his bed at night, shivering and whimpering, falling asleep next to him, Aaron suspected he really didn't enjoy it. [/sup] (... just if you're wondering, I have spoken to the person that will be playing james (I know her... she just has to stop being lazy and finish the app) and She knows all this is going on. just letting you know, since I know some people get all mad and say that you're godmodding or something.)

(okayzz)
"Good, Its fine.."She said laughing..She blinked and took a sip of her drink..She wasnt going to tell him anything other than it is strawberry...She smiled slightly and looked around.."I wont slip, cause I will becareful."She laughed..She looked at him, then to her drink..
"Taste this, its strawberry..Very good."She said holding out her drink..It was good. She made it by herself.She was the best at this..She blinked and smiled. She rolled her eyes and looked at her chipped black nail polished fingers, she then moved her head back up at him.

Good, she hadn't even got his little slip there. That would have been embarrassing... Especially the explaining of it. "I told you, dear, I don't want any of your strawberry drink," he laughed, holding it for her nonetheless, eying it suspiciously. "and If I were interested in sampling your beverage," he started, a coy grin on his face, "What exactly would I be sampling? I already told you, I don't like alcohol. And... If I'm correct, I'm pretty sure the standard Strawberry Daiquiri has alcohol in it, Honey."
He laughed, hoping that she at least understood what he said- most people didn't, when you switched to proper english. Shame; people just don't read enough. She, in turn, surveyed her shipped nail polish, looking back at him. "No!" he exclaimed, as if she had asked again in that small moment. he scowled, putting the straw up to his lips. "Fine..." Taking a sip, he let the cold beverage slip down his throat before he responded. "Actually... that's not too bad..." he smiled innocently, taking a deeper drink. 'Who cares if this is probably mostly alchohol... Sorry, hun. This is mine now." [/size]

"I told ya it was good..I can make more.. "She smiled.."Tried somethin new.There is like 3 drops of Alchol in it.. Just a tiny..But mostly, its just strawberry juice and ice.."She replied laughing. She moved her hair out of her face and smirked. Luna always had a way with her drinks.Sometimes, that is..
"Come on now, Lemme have a drink."she said smiling. She took it from his hands and brought it to her mouth.She smiled as she handed it back to him.."You want me to make more? I knew you would like it.."She said looking at him. She had her ways with him..Basically, she always had ways with him to get to do what she wanted sometimes.

"Alchohol!?" Aaron exclaimed humourously, dropping to the ground- whilst making sure the precious strawberry drink would not spill of course- pretending to be dead. "You've killed my boyish innocence," he whispered dramatically, his hand flipping over to his forehead in a rather girlish, clichéd manner. Like he was innocent in any way, shape or form. Was he? He stole, lied, and was practically a man-whore, the way he spelt around with everyone... but that was for a reason, and he hardly every did anything with them. Not unless they insisted on it. All Aaron wanted was to sleep. Was he innocent? He's have to think on that later.
He held the drink protectively when she asked for it, shouting "Nuu!!! mine!" But eventually gave in, letting her sip at it as she asked if he wanted one. "Um, yes? He laughed, sitting up and shifting so his legs were under him. "And if there's so little alchohol in it, why even bother?" He inquired idly, not exactly as interested as you could be on the topic. and Why should he? Why did a few drops of alchohol require a great deal of thought? He stood up, hearing his knees crack from under his flannel pants as he stretched, then Shivered. he was still shirtless- Why was that a good idea? James had left the air conditioning on high again, and it was like a tundra in the little dorm. "Want me to help?" he offered childishly, pulling a black hoodie over his placid torso. [/size]

"Yes, there is a tiny bit in it..You want some in the one im going to make?"SHE asked looking at him.She headed towards the little kitchen they had and leaned against the wall.She smiled and looked around for a moment.Her blue eyes looked onto the ground, her soft pink face was still looking at him. She crossed her arms as she waited.
"I will make you one.."She said now going into the kitchen and getting the blender, ice, and strawberry juice out. She plugged the blender in and started to put the ice in.. Want me to help Went through her mind.SHe turned around and smiled."No, thanks for asking, I got it.."She said putting the strawberry juice in and put the top on.SHe pressed the button and the blender turned on.

"uh, Whatever. Put as much in as you like," He shrugged. It was nearing his promised bed-time... and he really, really wanted to go to bed. He was about to tell her to forget it, that he's jsut go to bed and he'd have one in the morning, but she made it pretty quickly, declineing his offer for help. he watched as the pink liquid and ice swirled together, mixing and grinding and melding into one thing... as it stopped, he grabbed a glass from the cupboard, pouring some into it and sipping it, leaning himself on the counter next to Luna, one hand resting on the counter as the other held the cold glass. "Cold," he whispered, speaking of the temprature, not the drink. "Freezing cold."
he finished it rather quickly, the top of his mouth hurting from the frigid ice as he rinsed the glass and set it in the sink, rapping himself in a quilt and walking down the hall and into his room- if possible, it was even messier than the common room. "Dammit... don't come in!" he exclaimed, going into housewife mode as he slipped out from under the blanket to bunch the clothes in a pile, close books and place them somewhere where it wouldn't interfere with a walking path, and shoved mundane objects under the bed. "Uh, Come in," he called out from outside, not even sure if she had foloowed him down the hall. "If you.. want." [/size]

She watched him finish it and she smiled...She turned around to see that he was in his room..Rolling her eyes, she stepped out of the kitchen and walked along the long hallway.She finally made it to his door and leaned against the wall thing.She rolled her eyes and smiled slightly..
She looked around.Messier than the main room..But she didnt care..Books were everywhere."Cold?" She asked laughing a tad.. She crossed her arms and set them on her chest. She blinked and looked around.
*sorry short..Im brain dead*

Aaron watched as she entered his room, surveying the mess with an amused expression as she asked if he was cold. well, yeah! "Yesssh!" He squeaked, diving under the five comforters he slept with every night, his blonde head poking out from underneath the mountain of mismatched blankets. "yes, I am." He smiled, but whether or not she could actually see the grin from underneath the light blue comforter pulled up to his chin was undeterminable.
"Again, Sorry about the mess." he apoogized, biting his lip. "It's... bad. But it's mostly just books and things, since I'm a nerd." He grinned in a way that suggested he really didn't think of himself as a nerd- rather, just someone who read a whole lot, which was true; and obvious. Most of the books were fictitious, mostwere lying open, pages waving. [/size] (AH! gottas go. sorry it sucked.)
