Wolfram Grace's Story

Wolfie was actually extremely pissed at the moment, you could see it by the way his face had grown red and his eyes shone darker than usual. There was a letter at his door, telling him that he was no longer allowed to wear his sword during school hours, because it was scaring some students. Once he got his hands on those students they were going to pay, no question about that.

For an Angel, Wolfram could be rather harsh. Selfish, greedy, arrogant, hot-headed, everything an angel shouldn't be. Actually, most people didn't know what he way, and certainly didn't believe him when he told them he was an angel. Why should they? He had no wings, carried around a sword, and was quite frankly, an asshole. But he did have wings, they just were visible to the human eye.

Going over to the window, he threw it open and hopped out. Normally, a four story drop should be somewhat terrifying, but he just spread his wings and landed gracefully on his feet, not faltering even a step. That is, until he walked straight into some child with a cat on his shoulders. "Excuse me!" Wolfie said, clearly annoyed as he stumbled to regain his balance. "Learn to watch where you're walking," funny, it was him in the first place that had run into the other. It was clear by now that he was likely trying to start a fight, right near the school gardens where other children sat and talked, too.

Prothero Ender

Prothero was trying to read but his sharply pointed ears could not help but hear someone whine. Blinking he looked over before standing. He pushed his himself toward the man and was in front of the freshman within a few steps and wing beats. "May I help you?" He smiled gently and cooly his wings folding neatly behind him. "I know this library like no one else..." He looked at the younger boy. He was small compared to Prothero which made the older man more happy to help...

Gray Ender

Gray was thinking when angry voice caught his attention. "What now." Gray turned and blinked. Was someone seriously trying to start a fight. Gray walked over. "What seems to be the problem here?" Gray blinked his sharp gold eyes his shirt loosely hanging off his shoulder as he stared at the two boys calmly. Silently showing that he intended to stop any fights that would spark up.

Juliet Ender

Juliet was running about the Garden happy to be going about her business. Like a young child she was chasing a butterfly, one she'd seen in a book and wanted to take a closer look to when she bumped into someone. She stumbled but did not fall. Blinking she stared up at the tall boy. He was a demon Juliet could tell and she knew he would know right away that she was a human. Juliet smiled. "Sorry for running into you! Not sure if you know me... I was the first and only human here last year I'm Juliet." Juliet smiled she was small compared to the demon boy and people would probably stared shocked at how the human girl stared wide eyed and innocent her wild long dark hair hanging down. Yet Juliet did not seem to see any of it all she saw was a taller boy who might become her friend

"Hey it's not my fault you floated right down in front of me!" Kai shouted, pissed. Kai, don't do anything rash. Valus said in a warning tone. "Valus, shut it" Kai said angrily, normally Kai would never have been this rude to Valus, but something about this guy in front of him made him feel angry. Kai reached for his swords, but stopped himself "You're not worth the effort" Kai said as put his arms by his sides and pushed past the guy in front of him "Asshole" Kai said loud enough for only the guy to hear.

So this kid gets to use his swords but Wolfram didn't? His hands were balled into fists at his sides, blonde hair shielding half his face from the rest of them. He must have looked odd, wearing an outfit back from the time of... well a very long time ago. The clothing of that time was just nicer though, in his opinion. Slowly the red faded from his face, and his eyes returned to their normal emerald green color. The asshole comment didn't go unnoticed, but he pretended to not let it bother him. Folding invisible wings behind his back made that wind blow around them, and he stared up at the other boy who had come over. "It doesn't concern you," he said flatly. "Or didn't. Nothing to worry about now." Still, he glared at the boys back a moment longer before beginning to walk away, hand flitting over the spot where his sword should be.

Gray Ender

Gray sighed heavily. "Beginning of the year is always stressful." He looked at the blonde who was now walking away. "Listen I don't know what ruffled your feathers but chill out..." Gray stretched and held out his hand. Gold soon filled his palm but it wasn't real. No just fakes Gray could make, and he only ever made them so he could enjoy tossing them into the air and catching them again. It was a challenge catching them all. Gray looked at the demon, "Sorry for interjecting..." Finally he turned around and started walking back where he came from. Gray was known to get into fights but with Prothero being watched like a hawk he'd been given strict orders to lay low. Like that would happen...

~ . ~

Prothero Ender

Prothero blinked shocked. The younger boy acted like he was ashamed of his own species! Opening his wings wide and showing off his pointed ears and teeth defiantly. "Of course I am! And proud to be!" He looked at the boy. Had he really just asked him... Prothero blinked shocked. "Well... If you'd like then... Then sure..." He smiled gently. "I don't have friends so Il do my best I suppose." He remained silently still as the boy explained what he was looking for. Smiling at the boys choice Prothero opened his wings. "That will be found in the History section." He quietly turned and led the way.

The history section was small and encompassed more general knowledge for all species. Prothero looked over the books his sharp eyes picking out the one he was looking for. Jumping and flapping he managed to carry himself up to the latter and slide it to the left. In a brisk and perfect moment he grabbed the book slid down jumping at the last few steps and gently touching down. He handed the book to the young demon. "For the record... My name is Prothero Ender... It is a pleasure to meet you, also..." Prothero admired the smaller demons horns. "I like your horns... They are colorful... That's rare and considered a sign of beauty and strength among our kind wear them with pride and ignore all who dare to insult them." Prothero was speaking with sharp and proud dignity looking at the boy as he was an equal.

~ . ~

Juliet Ender

Juliet blinked confused. "That's silly... Well there was a vampire who stalked me... But aside that no problems!" Juliet beamed. "And of course I'm ok with everyone here... My big brothers are demons and so are my adopted mom and dad." Juliet was not the kind of person to hold back information so he her small hand she grabbed Damian's hand and shook it happily. "Oh! If you need anything you can ask me!" She grinned her ruby eyes sparkling and her long dark hair being pulled and played with by the wind, she looked like the picture of happiness, and she felt like it.

Prothero Ender

Prothero was shocked when he found arms around him. Blinking he pet the boys head gently touching the colorful horns. "Fly... Well I'd have to use my larger wings for that... See at the moment there in there smaller form..." Prothero blinked. "I'm sure I could fly you around sometime your small I could easily pick you up and fly you wherever you wish... Maybe even back to France during the weekends... I might be a studious non-trouble maker but I do enjoy going into the city without anyone so as to catch a movie or meal..." Prothero spoke matter-a-factly. Not without motion no he was always passionate sounding except when angered, but still he spoke briskly and state what he felt should be said... That was all.

~ . ~

Juliet Ender

Juliet beamed without end. "Ok onward!" Juliet was heading back to the front of the school as that was the best point to start when her large always sparkling eyes caught sight of Gray. "BIG BROTHER!" Juliet lept over / through a bush and ran past a fuming golden haired boy, her long and beautiful hair trailed behind her. "BIG BROTHER!" Juliet launched herself at Gray and smiled widely as she felt her brother catch and spin her with ease... After all she was small and a human! After being spun and set down she giggled her wide eyes happy. "Big brother I'm helping a new person! Il be like you and Prothero il make the family proud and help everyone!" Juliet was smiling to hard to see the worry flight across his face. "It's the demon over there!" Juliet pointed to Damian and waved him over happy as usual.

~ . ~

Gray Ender

Gray was lost in thought when his sisters sweet happy voice filled his head. He turned in time to catch and spin the girl her long hair flying around them. He set her down and began to huff looking at her already slightly torn dress and leaves in her hair. He'd brushed it this morning twice! He picked the leaves from her hair and then smiled. He listened as she went on to talk about helping someone. Gray froze... Was it another vampire? Someone who might see his sweet sibling as a snack. But when she pointed to a demon he relaxed... A little he was still an older guy around his sweet sister but fine... Better then a vampire at least.

"I don't want this year to be like last year..." Gray blinked as she said those words. It was true that last year she was alone despite being accepted. This year she wanted to change that. Gray would not stop her or get in her way then. Things were tough enough for the girl. She had to deal with a huge hole in her childhood waking up yelling and crying when fleeting memories tormented her then being a human with demon brothers and then going to this school. Nodding Gray played with her hair.

Damien followed behind Juliet, at a slower pace, of course. He stepped through the bushes carefully, as to not tear his suit. He smiled and laughed quietly to himself as he watched her race into her brother's arms. He saw the quick look of worry on her brother's face and stiffened slightly when his gaze fell onto Damien. Damien caught Juliet's comment just as he strode up. The other boy in the group seemed to be coming down off of an anger rush of sorts, and Damien nodded to him courteously, not wanting to rile him up again. Of course, Damien didn't want to rile anyone up.

Damien looked back to Juliet's brother and sat his duffel bag down. Her brother was only a few inches shorter than Damien was, and probably weighed less, but Damien knew he'd put up one hell of a fight if he needed to. Glancing back at the other boy, he made the same judgement. But then again, any of the people at this school, save for a select few, could probably cause a lot of damage should things get violent. Especially with the manner of creatures assembled in this one building.

Damien held out his hand to Juliet's brother. "Hiya. The name's Damien. Damien Raphael Augustine. I'm new to this school, and school in general. Your little sister here agreed to showing me around the campus and help me find my way to the information's room so I can find out where my room is. I'm pleased to make your acquaintance." He flashed a smile, and the whites of his eyes seemed to swirl to black for a second, and then back again to white. Damien seemed not to have noticed. His personality was not like how he was acting currently, and he was silently cringing inside. He always tended to be hostile towards people he just met because of his family life, and always wanted to curl up away from everyone.

But this time was different. Had to be different. He couldn't rebuff anyone right away, or hide from people because he didn't trust them yet. He had to make friends. He had to show everyone that it didn't matter who you were, and that hatreds were just stupid superstitions and foundations for failure. He had already befriended this little girl, who was a human, but he felt the brother may be a bit harder to handle than she was. After all, Damien was a stranger to them both, a demon on top of that, and this was the guy's little sister they were talking about. Adopted sister, but he was sure it didn't matter. Should he harm her in any way, he knew the boy in front of him would try and have his head.

It was really nice, having a friend. He wasn't quite sure how to get used to the feeling though, it wasn't like he had had many friends in the past. Of course there was his older brother, but his brother really was a shining example of a demon. Cruel, harsh, violent, angry- all the time. And usually, he took it out on lil' bro. It was where the scars on his back and chest had come from, and the one on his cheek. But you could only see that one if you were very close, it had faded to only be a zigzag'd, red line now. Even if he touched it, it hurt. Though he tried to pretend it didn't, wasn't like big brother cared either way. Slipping back into the present, he looked up at his new friend. "Still," he started softly, stepping forward and giving the taller boy a tight hug. "I really owe you one. That was the funnest thing I've ever done." After stepping back, he offered the biggest smile he could, feeling happier than he had been in awhile. If only those stupid horns on his head would go away, this truly would be the best day ever.

---

Just keep walking. Remember to keep your face down, no one wants to see you. Being an angel doesn't change anything. They aren't going to accept you. No one is going to accept you. They will just label you as a freak and send you off to some institution. Trust no one. Your family are the only ones you can trust, and even then be careful. It isn't a nice world, that's why we have Angels. But still, the demons are strong, sometimes too strong. So just keep walking. Keep your head down. Be safe.

They told Wolfram to be careful. That the only people you could trust was your family, that everyone else would just ship him off to an institution to be tested on, or tell him he was crazy and that he wasn't an angel. But isn't that exactly what his parents did? Sent him off to some academy for freaks just like him? It wasn't fair, no, but what in life was fair? You lose your family, your humanity, your pride and dignity, what do you have left? Nothing. That's all they want you to have, so you can succumb to whatever it is they have in store for you. And you won't put up a fight.

After all, this is what this school was about, right? Teaching you how to act properly. The good and the bad. But who were they to say what was good, what was bad? Labeling. It's all they ever did. You're a demon? Well, hell, I better stay away from you, you're bad. Angels? God, talk about goody-two-shoes. Vampires? You just want my neck to suck on, the rest doesn't really matter, does it? Everyone was labeled, and nothing was going to change it. They would probably label him as a demon too, purely for his attitude. But blonde hair and green eyes? Definitely not a demon. Then you got to know him, and started to question that.

Wolfram was heading back to his room when he spotted the boy from earlier, the one that had tried to stop the fight. Beside him was some red headed boy, and he just shook his head. Apparently mister Peacekeeper was making friends with the human- it was quite obvious that this red head was human, as he gave off no distinct scent and was painfully boring. Rolling his eyes, he kept walking.

"Um, my family calls me Evie," he offered absent-mindedly, still glancing around in his paranoia. Even if Gray Ender was perfectly all right, for now at least, that didn't mean others would be the same. Maybe it was past experiences coming back to haunt him or just good old-fashioned paranoia. Whatever it was, he could still feel eyes on him, a feeling that was smothering him like a blanket on a warm, Summer's night.

When he finally did glance up, it was to the demon boy doing some bizarre little jig without any rhyme or reason. He blinked slowly, face almost blank. Well, all right then. It was at that moment that he realized Gray's type- probably a bit of a class clown, goofy and outgoing. Everything, really, that Everett was not. He'd met people like this before, people like Gray, at his old school(his nice, normal school), but it was utterly bizarre to have someone like that actually talking to him let alone trying to amuse him.

His blank mask shattered when he gave a little snort of laughter, lips finally quirking upwards. For a moment, just a moment, his nerves seemed to lessen. That was, of course, when he glanced to his right to see someone walking by. It was a boy, he was almost sure of it despite the feminine features and long, golden hair. He's an angel, Everett's mind supplied helpfully, drawing up the one time he'd actually met an angel and the books he'd read about them before he showed up at Arcbell.

Angel or no, when he rolled his eyes, obviously scornful of the pair, Everett's eyes went right back down to the floor, the smile vanishing into a thin line. Right. Well, he supposed, not everyone can be as jolly as Gray or as non-offensive as Kai. Maybe it had been a good thing, catching sight of the moody angel. It reminded him to keep his guard up right when he'd been threatening to let it down.

Prothero Ender

Prothero was once again shocked by the hug. He blushed and gently pat Romeo. He was no good at this sort of thing but he had a feeling he would soon have to adapt. "I am glad you enjoyed it... Gray always freaks out when I fly him around... Despite being my brother he has no trust in me... Juliet doesn't mind but she's not big on heights..." Prothero smiled. "You are my first willing participant... Though I do hope to one day see Gray flying about... He does love the sky he just does not trust me as his brother..." Prothero then mumbled. "Though... I don't really trust him after he ate my head in his stupid chest cavity." Prothero then smiled and gently ran his finger along one of Romeo's horns. "Now what would you like to do?"

~ . ~

Gray Ender

Gray grinned. "Evie it is then!" Gray continued to walk happy he'd managed to cheer the human boy up. But the red heads smile was soon turned away. Gray blinked and looked over to see the source of this... It was the angel... Or well Gray was pretty sure he was an angel. Blinking Gray smiled, he hated seeing anyone upset. For all the things Gray refused to be greedy for he would admit he had a need and greed for people's joy. "Hey angel!" Gray waited until the angel looked over before he gave a grin. "Turn that frown upside down blondy! Your scaring the human, and honestly frowns don't look pretty on such a nice face... Or on yours either Evie." Gray folded his arms over his chest resisting the urge to pull down his sweater and allow his chest mouth to stick it's tongue out at them for laughs... He was pretty sure such an act would disgust the angel and frighten the human... Patience was key to making friends at this school. Though Gray had little patience. Gray stopped suddenly and pointed to a room. "This is where you get any information you need... The secretary is a really old vampire so because of her long life she doesn't always care and it might take awhile but she's super nice to everyone." Gray grinned happy he'd managed to be of any help.

Romeo was definitely curious at the mention of a chest cavity, but he decided it was best not to ask about it. Anyways, it didn't seem like his friend was too thrilled to talk about his brother, so he made it his job to get his mind off of it. That was what friends were for after all, right? Smiling, he released his grip on the older boy, pulling away only slightly. When he felt Prothero run his finger along his horn he blushed, biting his lower lip and ducking his head. "Umm," so it turns out he wasn't very good at this whole "getting your mind off of" thing. "Want to help me figure out who my new roommate is?" The boy looked hopeful, pulling out the puppy eyes and everything. "My old one graduated last year, so they're assigning me a new one." His smile fell slightly, he was going to miss his old friend.

---

Hey angel! Wolfram's step faltered, and slowly he came to a stop and turned to look at the two he had just been mentally judging. The annoyance must have been clear on his face, but it seemed the demon cared little for it. Being called blondy just made his anger rise, but it vanished when the demon said he had a nice face. He was sure he was blushing. Was it really that obvious that he liked guys? It wasn't his fault! This was going to ruin his life, if anyone else found out about it everything would just be for nothing. People were supposed to be afraid of him! Why else would he carry around a sword?

After a moment, Wolfie stomped over to the two, glaring at the red head as if to warn him to stay quiet. "How did you know?" his voice was very quiet, nearly a hiss as he contained his anger. Really, he was just making a fool of himself. Neither boys knew of his secret, how could they? But he was too blinded by his embarrassment and rage at this point. "Both of you better not say a word to anyone!" Glancing accusingly at both, he took a step backwards and then spun around, quickly retreating in the direction he had come from.

Everett's face flooded red with embarrassment as Gray called the angel out, still utterly cheerful, but that wasn't the point...! It just drew unneeded attention to them and by that, Everett meant to himself specifically. He wanted to protest that he wasn't frightened, but the sight of the angel stomping over to him(why him? Why not Gray? he mentally whimpered) demanding how he knew.

Knew? Knew what? Everett was shrinking into himself even if he had a good few inches on the blond angel, eyes wide, pressing himself back against the wall. It was, in the end, a wonderful thing that Gray didn't expose his chest mouth- Everett would have, without a doubt, run away at that point, never to be seen again.

"I-I-I," He spluttered before, with a final warning that still made absolutely no sense, he spun around and began to leave, ignoring the little scene he'd caused. There was an awkward silence for a moment.

"I'll just, um, go see the secretary then," He said awkwardly, eyes looking anywhere but at Gray's face as he disappeared into the office. It didn't, in the end, actually take very long to get himself all sorted out. Within a few moments, he was all check in and, in addition to his large bag, now had a packet containing everything he'd need- schedule, room number, room key, map, and an assortment of other things. Going back to the hallway, Everett glanced around hesitantly. He wasn't actually sure if Gray had stuck around or if there would be someone even more unpleasant waiting for him.

Prothero Ender

Prothero blinked. "If I believe correctly they renovated so it was one person per room." Prothero nodded. "Too many incidents last year..." Prothero blinked his icy eyes before looking back at the shorter demon. "Though some people did end up getting a shared room either way it was random as it always is... My sister did not but I did I believe my younger brother did as well..." Prothero blinked. "I heard my roomate was a demon... If I got stuck with my brother like last year..." Prothero huffed and shook his head. "Il end up having to force him to wear his clothes in the room... Him a his stupid boxers." Prothero blinked realizing what he said out loud. He snickered before laughing lightly. "Your easy to speak with Romeo... I find it relieving... Thank you." Prothero smiled it was a small rare smile but a smile non-the less.

~.~

Gray Ender

Gray blinked at the angel confused. But before he could really respond the blonde boy turned and walked off leaving a cowering Everett. Man, this human was indeed terrified. It made Gray feel bad... But he wasn't really accustom to humans being afraid of him. His parents had kept him away from that... And Juliet... Juliet had no idea about the prejudice between species. Gray watched the human walk into the office. How was he suppose to comfort a human anyway? Gray lifted himself into a small space above the office door frame and the ceiling. The space was often use'd for plants but Gray could fit his short lean body in there if he tried. He watched for Everett's head and when he emerged Gray let himself slide and hang down his face in front of the humans. "Hi." Gray grinned until he felt himself slip but it was too late he slid right off.

He fell off of the space and landed somehow on his back looking up at the boy. Gray laughed and grinned a little. "I wasn't meaning to drop in but... Hey!" Gray grinned and sat up rubbing his now hurting head. "So did you get one of the personal rooms or did you end up getting a dorm... They renovated so half the rooms are for one person the other half are dorms... The selection is random so is the amount of person per.room... I think it can be 3... I got a shared room." Gray grinned.

Romeo had somehow got them moving towards one of the library's reading areas while they were talking, and was now sitting comfortably on one side of the couch and watching as Prothero spoke at the other. At first he had been worried, hearing him say that they changed it to only one person a room. Being alone wasn't something he liked, which is why he hadn't had one, but two roommates the previous year. Just like being in the dark wasn't very pleasant for him either. It was a good thing that he had been able to become friends with his old roommates, because he tended to have to cuddle with them in the middle of the night just because he was scared. A demon, scared? Romeo definitely was the biggest scaredy-cat anyone could ever meet. He found himself laughing when Thero spoke about his brother running around in boxers, but when wasn't Romeo laughing? Everything amused the boy, he was so innocent and joyful, on the exterior. "No need to thank me, what are friends for?" He grinned, chewing on his bottom lip a moment before hopping up and taking his friends hand. "Come on, let's go find out who our roommates are! Wait, can we do that?"

---

When Wolfie got back to his room, everything was packed up. It rather annoyed him to find that they did it all by themselves, not even asking him about anything. How was he supposed to find his things? What if they stole something? Grumbling, he took his sword first, slinging it around his shoulder before grabbing the two other bags. The note on his door instructed him towards building B, third floor, room 26. With a heavy sigh, he hauled all of his things outside- thank god he was on the first floor -and then over to the other building. At least they had elevators, even if it would have been pretty easy for him to carry his things, he was rather lazy(and spoiled). Pushing open the door to his room revealed three beds, and immediately he frowned. "I have to room with two other people?" he grumbled to himself, throwing his things onto the bed near the corner. "Great," his voice was laced with sarcasm, even if no one was around to hear him. Throwing his things to the floor, he laid back on the bed and closed his eyes.

The realization hit Everett like a ton of brick. Oh, really? Really? His eyes glanced heavenwards, wondering who exactly to blame for this. That is, before he felt arms wrap around him, raising him up in the air, feet dangling over solid ground. Apparently, he realized as he was finally set on the ground, only to be tugged away by Gray towards his, no, their dorm room, Gray was a stronger than he looked(not that Everett was really all that heavy, but still). Which, in retrospect, wasn't very surprising given the whole demon thing, but it was terrifying nevertheless.

Still, he allowed himself to be tugged along, counting his blessings. At least he knew one of his roommates and said roommate seemed to like him if the sing-songy voice and the calling Everett kind(he blushed at that because, well, he blushed at anything vaguely resembling a compliment) was any indication. It didn't take long to reach their destination, taking the stairs up, up to the third floor. With any luck, maybe their third roommate was as all right as Gray, or, with even better luck, they wasn't there at all.

When they arrived in front of room twenty-six, Everett wasn't sure to be nervous or calm about the whole thing. After all, really, what could possibly go wrong at this point? Which was, of course, when, with a determined look he fished out his room key, unlocked the door and looked in. Noooope. He promptly shut the door, same determined look on his face, more from shock than anything, and backed away. He double checked the room numbers and bit back a despairing moan. The blond angel from earlier just HAD to be his other roommates, didn't he? What had Everett done to deserve this?

Prothero Ender

Prothero blushed his cheeks lighting up to a bright pink. "I-I see..." He looked over at the boy. "Our room?" The word sounded off on his lips but he managed to sound vague about it. "Alright... I did not have time to unpack I simply set my things aside so they would not cause a problem." He thought about it. "So we should probably get to work on setting up the room in a comfortable fashion." He smiled gently but cooly at the younger boy.

~ . ~

Gray Ender

Gray was happy when they reached the room. He peeked in only to have the door shut on his face. Gray blinked and looked back at the human confused. Was there roommate a stripper? Because in a way that was HIS job. But right as Gray was about to ask the red head let out a despaired sigh. Gray arched an eye brow and opened the door his golden eyes landing on the angel from before. "Woah seriously! We get the cute angel???" Gray did a victory dance. "I scored this year! No annoying brother and two cuties! High Scoreeee~" Gray walked in and wrapped an arm around the blonde boy pulling him close. "Guess who your awesome roommates are?" He stuck his tongue out and winked at the same time. When he was sure he'd thoroughly complimented his two adorable hopefully soon to be friends he allowed himself to jump onto the bed he'd claimed earlier that day. Buried himself part way within the soft confines of his bed and peeked out grinning childishly at his two roommates.

Romeo grinned, throwing his legs over the side of the couch and back onto the floor so he could stand. Quickly he took hold of Prothero's hand, making an effort to start dragging him in the direction of their room. "Someone at the office said they would move my stuff for me, so it should already be in our room." He really was excited about this, who knew that his new friend was going to be his roommate too? It really had to be destiny, why else would it have happened?

---

Wolfram was still lounging on the bed when he heard the door open. The only thing he caught was a flash of red before the door closed again, causing him to pause. There was a boy from earlier with hair like that, the human. When the door opened again the reveal the demon, he took a sharp breath, glaring as the boy made his way closer. Having the others arm around him literally made him shudder, flinching along with every syllable uttered. Was he really calling him cute again? You would have though they'd have gotten the memo earlier- he wasn't into guys. Or, he wasn't publicly into guys.

Fixing his glare on the human now, he gave a rather disgusted sigh. "Nice to see you again, Carrot." While he watched the demon get comfortable on his bed, he carefully crossed his arms over his chest and stayed standing, not quite sure what to make of the situation. He didn't want a single room, but at the same time he didn't want to be stuck with these two. Might as well try and make the best out of a terrible situation, or he could at least try, maybe. "I'm Wolfram Grace, if either of you were wondering." The angel stated drily, eying his sword.

Everett wasn't quite sure how to react, considering the situation. One particularly appealing idea was, if he left now and kept walking at a quick enough pace, he could maybe make it to the port before the last boat for the day left the harbor, leaving him stranded for the night. Another choice was simply running away and begging for a room change. But, in the end, he simply accepted his fate with a numb sort of horror as Gray flung the room's door open exuberantly, narrating his thoughts excitedly as the pulled the angel into a big hug. Cuties? On reflex, Everett's cheeks went flaming red. Oh, now that was embarrassing and, depressingly enough, he'd now spent enough time with Gray to realize that, yes, he was always like that and, no, it wasn't just first day excitement.

The blush disappeared in an instant with the glare trained on him by the angel(and why him? What had he done?) and the sigh with disgust so obvious that Everett nearly wilted where he stood. Today was just like a ping-pong match of emotions wasn't it? Battling between the excitable and overly-complimentary Gray and the hateful angel- Wait, carrot?

"Carrot?" He repeated, practically spitting out the word, making a face. Really? This was the abuse he'd be putting up with? Carrot? And there was a sword on his bed! A sword! Now the idea of escape was even more tempting. Maybe he'd try to chew his own arm off like a coyote trapped in a trap- they'd probably send him home if he started acting like that. Eventually he gave in, shuffling into the room, arms wrapped around his bag like a shield, and laying claim to the last open bed, Gray already peeking out from beneath the covers of one and...and Wolfram(and what sort of name was Wolfram? he thought nastily) had obviously picked out his own.

"I wasn't wondering...." He muttered under his breath, back facing both of his new roommates as he began situating his armful of stuff on his bed. Then, now loud enough to be heard, "Um, Everett Harper."

Prothero Ender

Prothero allowed himself to be dragged by Romeo and smiled a little to himself as he followed his cheerful friend. It was odd... Prothero always found Gray's optimism to be annoying... And Juliet always was happy as well but Prothero was use to hers as she was his sister... In fact Prothero found most people bursting with enthusiasm to either be annoying or distracting... His siblings he was use to be aside that he'd never stranded other people much... Yet Romeo had popped out of the blue bursting with thoughts and ideas, remarks and enthusiasm and Prothero found himself enjoying it. The blue haired boy continued to follow along not even noticing that the rather bothersome girls that found Prothero attractive for his 'mystery' were observing the pair.

Ender Gray

Gray could sense the hostility coming off the blonde and he frowned. But he was soon distracted as they began the exchange of names. Gray sat up. "My name is Gray Ender! You better remember it well angel." Gray gave one of his evil winks before he promptly and without thought pulled off his shirt and lay back on the bed. His stomach 'cavity' as Prothero refereed to it was closed at the moment, so really Gray just looked like a shirtless boy with a rather toned abdomen. Of course this would not last long as his stomach gave a slight grow.. Blinking Gray sat up mumbled something about how eating was troublesome before riffling through his bag. He pulled out a container which held several oddly large cut pieces of brownie. Gray grabbed a piece and lifted the chocolate delight to his upper abdomen where his mouth opened slowly. Gray happily ate the brownie.

Really the only use for the extra mouth was eating with it and perhaps various other un-mentionable activities... Well he could also eat people as it was traditional greed demons to eat those who were too greedy but Gray did not do such things. Smiling to himself Gray picked up another brownie before he realized the effect the extra opening might have on his roommates. Looking up Gray smiled sheepishly. "Sorry... I always eat this way... I can eat from my normal mouth as well but... It's really only for talking aside that I've used it for sense I was a kid...B-Best we just get it out of the way now." Gray smiled sheepishly his cheeks lighting up for the first time sense he'd met either of the boys. It was rare to see Gray blushing... But as Juliet often claimed the sight was cute as well as funny.

Everett wasn't quite sure what was disturbing him more; his new (demon) roommate's penchant for winking and being more exuberant than was really called for or his apparent tendency to strip without asking anyone like, say, his new roommates. An involuntary flush flooded his face, a knee jerk reaction to what he considered embarrassing situations rather than him swooning over Gray's admittedly toned abdomen. Honestly, he thought, steadfastly returning to unpacking his things, how was he supposed to survive this year? He had the angel, Wolfram glaring at him like Everett had insulted his mother or something and now Gray, the apparent exhibitionist. Scratch that; apparent hungry exhibitionist given his growling stomach. If that wasn't strange enough, apparently he carried around large chunks of brownie with him. Really, he thought, things could not get any weirder. Which was, of course when they did.

There was a mouth on Gray's chest. And honest-to-goodness mouth that was eating said brownie chunks. There. Was. A. Mouth. Everett stared blankly for a moment, a notebook he'd been in the process of unpacking barely held in his hands. Rationally, he should be very surprised. Before arriving at the Academy, he'd been forced to read text upon text upon text about the races occupying the Arcbell, and he'd stumbled across demons with a second mouth on their chests often enough. Still, reading could not prepare him for this- this body horror. And he's thought puberty had been frightening. So, Everett reacted in a very normal way. He screamed.

Well, he attempting to scream, but an engrained thought about not making a scene cut off the shriek by slapping his own hand over his mouth, eyes wide in shock as he stumbled backwards, fell onto his bed, continued to move as far away as possible, before falling off the other side, taking his pillows and a blanket with him. His mind was screaming at him to run, run far away because that thing on his chest? That was not right. Not right at all. If people kept forgetting that he was a human and, therefore, wasn't used to this insanity, well, he wasn't going to make it a week let alone an entire school year.

Everett, not given a clear shot to run out of the room with the stupid angel in the way, instead pulled the blanket over his head and tried to stave off hyperventilation because he didn't want to pass out in front of the jerk and the boy with a freaking chest mouth. CHEST MOUTH. Oh Lord. He was going to need major therapy after this one.
