(Alrightie. It's all good. ^u^ Man, I took the worst fall of my life yesterday. I was riding Polaris, and he slipped on the sand, and tumbled down. I flew off and skidded like ten feet. Can't move my elbow at all. Hurt so bad doing the chores this morning. Do ya think it's broke? Will they let you keep the x-rays of a broken bone?)

"Nope." Ce-ce replied, popping the dvd in. "You like Vampires? This has Camui Gackt in it. Hottest singer ever!!!" She giggled, and flopped next to Toshiro. "I don't really understand it. He flew out of here like hell hounds were chasing him, and he went straight to his room. Locked the door, too. He never locks his door. It's all really weird. Just...don't try to escape anymore. I've never seen him that mad...Be nice and sweet, okay? But...you can totally give me a back rub if you want!" She grinned, and flipped over unto her stomach.

((Ouch. How are you doing now? You should most certainly keep it under ice for a while. 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off so on and so forth. As for telling if it is broken or not. 1. Can you move the place that is hurting at all. If you broke your elbow then you wouldn't be able to move it at all. The doctor told me that when I broke my ankle. As for keeping an X-ray of your broken bone. I do believe that you can ask for any form of your medical records at anytime)).

Toshiro gave the other a rather quizzical look. How could the other know Adrian so well. It was obvious that the two of them shared a bond that wasn't just a bond between two people. They were brother and sister after all. Toshiro nodded when he heard the female say that he shouldn't try to run away again. He wouldn't be making that mistake anytime in the future. He found his attention drawn to the movie. The content didn't matter. It was the pure freedom that he didn't have to do anything, and there wasn't very much expected of him. He was to stay here and be a nice prisoner. He turned his face away from the other as he intently stared at the screen. He could feel his cheeks turning red from embarrassment. He swallowed it down though as he turned around again. "Sure," he said as he began kneading the muscles through his rather skilled hands. He fond himself humming a little, but then stopped as he said,"What if I told you I liked Adrian. I mean-nevermind. It's not important." He stopped and moved to the edge of the bed looking at the floor.

(Darn...it's not broken then. I can move it. I don't need any ice, either. It just hurts to fully extend it at all. :( Gotta be in pain and don't even get an x-ray of it. Polaris is lame too. I feel worse for him than for me. His muzzle swelled up a bit and he's got a little cut from a rock right above his eye So I had to go out and bandage him up and soak his foot. Poor guy. He's doing alright though, chased me around for a peppermint today.)

Celeste jerked upright, staring at the boy's turned back. "Liked my brother? Like...like like?" She questioned, then shook her head. "That's not a good idea. He's never...been with a target before. As far as I know, anyway. And he's really picky when it comes to who he dates. I've never met a girlfriend. I mean, I don't think he's had any. He won't say anything, but I think he likes boys. Still...he's not even going to be doing that snuff with you, anyway. That's a dangerous thought. Keep it between us, alright?"

((awww -hugs-))

Crash and burn. That's what it felt like when he heard the other talk to him again. He figured that it would have probably ended like that, but he hadn't mentally prepared himself to hear it yet. Of course the other wouldn't like him. He was a "target" after all. Certainly nothing more and nothing less either. He knew that his feelings had been rather messed up since he got here as well. Stockholm Syndrome if he recalled right. He remembered hearing about it in his psychology class. It happened to kidnappees and their captors where the ones that were kidnapped because alright with them being in their current predicament, and even coming to love and accept their captor. That must have been what was happening to him. "You're right," replied Toshiro as he glanced at the other. "I told you it was a stupid idea." He grinned sheepishly at that to try and diffuse the tension that he had created in the room.

He had almost forgotten about the snuff film. Almost. He didn't want to it to happen, especially knowing that the other wouldn't be involved with it. Adrian was too close to him, too close to the "target." He imagined that the organization didn't want Toshiro to become more of a liability. Toshiro turned his attention back to the movie again willing it to end. He wanted to be alone right now.

Celeste seemed to sense it, or perhaps she didn't want to be alone with Toshiro at the moment. She stood, and moved to the door, waving at him. "You enjoy the movie, okay? I hope you like it." She shut the door, locking it. Adrian was in the room with the computers, which was good. Celeste still wanted to talk with him.

"So what was all that about?" She questioned her brother.

"All what?"

"The anger? You've never blown up like that!"

"He tried to escape."

"Others have tried to escape. You didn't act like that."

There was no answer, and Celeste sighed, leaning on the desk. "He said he likes you." Adrian glanced over, a quick look of surprise, before it got masked and he turned back to the computer. "And you acted weird before all this too. What's going on?"

Toshiro nodded as he turned his attention back to the movie after nodding his head to the other. He hadn't said anything, but apparently he had made it clear as day that he had wanted to be left alone. "Alright," he said as he heard the door close, and the click of the lock sliding into place. Letting out a huff he knew that he would be down here for a while.

While he was by himself he began thinking about the other male that was upstairs. Was he still angry with him? Frustrated? Hateful? He figured that Celeste, being the loving, dutiful sister, had gone to talk to him about this rather troublesome matter with him liking him and everything. There were no windows so he couldn't judge the time. After what seemed like a good portion of time though he went to lay back down in his bed as he slid his eye closed. He might as well take a nap and try to empty his mind out.

"Nothing." Came Adrian's curt reply.

"No, it's not 'nothing'." Celeste urged him to tell her. "It's obviously something! So what's going on with you!?"

"Okay!" Adrian snapped, glaring at her. "He's cute. And he smells really good, but that's just gonna complicate things, so it doesn't matter, alright?"

Ce-ce was quite for a few moments, surprised he'd actually told her. Plus, she'd thought Addy was gay, but to hear him say it was a shocker. She shrugged once she managed to get herself composed. "Well...just because it can't last doesn't mean you can't have fun now. I'm gonna cook dinner, then we are all gonna eat with Toshiro. Let's bring him up to the table tonight. I think he'd like that." She left the room, not expecting a reply. Adrian sighed, looking back to the computer, his mind filled with his sister's words.

((and he smells good. Best defense ever!))

Toshiro dreamed of happier times when he was with his family. Before, the craziness that had enveloped his whole entire family, and his life became one large scripted schedule for him to follow day in and day out. He hadn't gone to private schools with the elite, but was happy going to the local public schools where he met people that would truly be his friend. He had met someone just like Adrian. Someone that didn't see him as a stack of dollar bills, but as a genuine friend. He smiled in his sleep as he rolled over and softly called out,"Adrian." before he slipped deeper into his dreams.

((I know mindless fluff. This is going to be the last one for the night. I'll update tomorrow morning when I get up)).

(I know right! XD I loves da Addy. -squishes- Adrian glares. Sleep well.)

About an hour later, Celeste stood by the bed, shaking Toshiro gently. "Wakey wakey starshine! The Earth says Hello! Get up, and come on. You're eating dinner upstairs!"

Adrian leaned against the doorway, though he wasn't looking in the room, instead staring outwards, his arms crossed.

((Haha)).

Toshiro cracked an eye open when he heard the sound of a click again signalling that the lock had been opened. He then felt, he assumed it was the woman, shaking him awake. It was confirmed when he heard her voice telling him to get up. Yawning he managed to get into a sitting position as he smiled at the quote that the other used. He hadn't seen the movie himeself, but he had friends that raved about the newest Tim Burton movie. Moving off of the bed it didn't really hit him until he let the others words sink in. Eating upstairs with them? What had come over the kidnapping duo? Shaking his head he followed after the woman, but froze as he glanced up to see Adrian propped up against the doorway. He immediately shuffled passed him with his eyes downcast as he began climbing the stairs.

Once at the top he walked onto the landing in what appeared to be the main living area. There was a table directly in front of him, to the left there was a sitting area with a T.V, and to the right there was a rather large, ornate kitchen with an island in the middle made of granite. Taking in the view, which one could now appreciate since he wasn't fleeing for his life, he found himself approaching the nearby glass door. The door had been open, a screen in place. Standing in front of it he inhaled the scent of the see deeply, he heard the waves and the sound of seagulls. He could stay here forever. As he stood there he heard his stomach rumble a little bit, and he looked around hurriedly in embarrassment in hopes that no one had heard it.

(Haha, it's way before Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but that's awesome you knew it!)

Celeste had, and grinned happily. She moved into the kitchen, grabbing a rather large bowl and setting it down. Adrian finally glanced at Toshiro, commanding, "Sit." If he'd heard the boy's stomach, he didn't comment. The male waved at the table, before gathering up some bowls himself. They loaded the table with mashed potatos, corn, green bean casserole, sliced starfruit mixed with pomegranate pits. The main dish was a plate covered in steaks.

To be honest, Adrian didn't want to be here. It was hard, if he allowed himself to admit the attraction he felt to Toshiro, to be in the same room with him. He felt somewhat betrayed as well, after letting himself get fooled by the boy. There wasn't much he could do, however, and he couldn't tell Ce-ce no, not after she had gone fifteen miles further than she normally did at dinner. He sighed softly, and moved to the refrigerator, tugging out a pitcher of lemonade, and another of milk. They were set on the table while Celeste sat down at her place setting.

Toshiro turned at the other male and found himself nodding his head. There was no way that he was going to mess around with the other male right now. Going over to the table he sat down, and soon there were bowls of all different kinds on the plate. He could tell that the tension in the room was still high, but he tried to place a smile on his face and think of something else. He eyed the bowl of fruit. He had never seen that kind of fruit before. Sure he knew about pomegranates, but the star shaped fruits were a mystery to him. He relaxed a little bit when he saw the girl sit down, but he wanted to be polite and wait for the others to begin. "Thank you for doing this-," said Toshiro suddenly realizing that he had never actually gotten the other's name. He wanted to thank the other properly, and for that he would need a name. "Uh," began Toshiro. "I don't mean to be rude, but may I ask your name?" He already knew Adrian's from this woman, but he figured that the other male didn't need to know that she had let it slip out.

The siblings weren't quite sure who he was talking to, and Adrian frowned. Celeste smiled and opened her mouth, before a glare from Adrian made her shut it. "She's...Amy. I'm Collin." He stated. Like he'd give out his real name to a boy he'd kidnapped.

Adrian slid into his seat, then glanced to his sister. She looked rather guilty, and Adrian's eyes narrowed, looking from her to the male. "Oh, hell no!" He stated, rubbing his head. "You told him our names?"

"W-well....not mine...yours was an accident!" Celeste defended herself. Adrian sighed softly, starting to pile food unto his plate.

"Fine. Since she told you..." He snapped towards Toshiro, "You obviously already know I'm Adrian, why ask?" Obviously, he didn't expect an answer, as he continued speaking. "You can just call her Amy. And you're Toshiro. Yay, we all know each other. Can we eat now?"

Celeste rolled her eyes, before selecting some fruit and veggies for herself. "So...Toshiro...what kinda music do you like? Adrian goes crazy for dubstep..." Her eyes widened, and she blinked innocently as her brother glanced over at her. What as the female up to now?

Toshiro hurridedly glanced at something that seemed to be more interesting on the table. He could tell the atmosphere in the room had suddenly got much more colder. He shifted nervously in his seat. Maybe he shouldn't have asked that question. Maybe he had been better off not knowing. "I'm sorry," he managed to mutter out. Who was he to ask the names of his captors. He was lucky to be alive, and right now staying alive was all that mattered. He picked slowly at the food that was on his plate, when the other, "Amy" began to talk about his favorite genre of music. He knew that she was going to ask him the inevitable anytime now, and in mere moments she had. She had asked him what his favorite kind of music was? Sure he had a favorite kind of music, but it had been drilled into his mind that he liked nothing but the classics to take him to remember that he did have a free will.

"Well," he began. "I really like things with bass and such. Techno, is a favorite of mine." That was a partial truth. He didn't really have a favorite genre since he had his whole life practically mapped out for him, which also included what he was allowed to listen to. His father called it "structured entertainment time," and it was the bane of his existence.

Celeste squealed happily, and glanced towards Adrian, who masked his surprise quickly. "Ohmygod, youwouldtotallyloveddubstepIm'maplaysomerightnow, okay?"

She hopped up from her seat, darting into another room. Adrian sighed softly, glancing at Toshiro. "If you like techno, you'll probably like this...which is good because-" He faltered as screeching filled the house. He raised his voice over the music. "She's going to play it very loudly!"

After a few minutes, Celeste returned, having changed the disk and lowering the music slightly. "Hmmm....So...Adrian loves horses...he's like a natural horseman...You like horses Toshiro?" Once again, her eyes were wide and innocent, and the male glanced to her with a frown.

Was she...really trying to get him to hook up with Toshiro..? Really? "What's wrong with you, woman?" Addy snapped at her. Ce-ce ignored him, peering innocently at Toshiro.

Toshiro raised an eyebrow as he looked at the Amy. She sounded like she was going to blow a gasket at any given minute. He found himself breaking out into a smile though, which was odd for him since he had always had to be careful about his outward appearance with people. The music came flooding out of the speakers around them making the conversation that the two of them were having an awful difficult one to have. Soon the music was turned down though and changed back to what it had been originally. Horses? He loved horses ever since he was little. His father loved horses as well. He had always been a betting man, and he had often tagged along with his father when they had outings at the local race track. He didn't like going with his father to a blatant place that showed the mistreating of animals, in his mind, anyway, but he had to go anyway and smile and pretend to be a happy family with his father. He, however, did like riding horses, and that was a part of his approved free time by his mentors and scholars. "I do like horses," replied Toshiro as he took a sip from his glass. "I have an arabian named Arcadia. I love her so much." He then downcast his eyes as he wondered what was happening right now with his horse.

He looked up though when he heard the interaction between the two siblings. It was rather comical, and had he been anyone else, and not a kidnappee, it would be as if a bunch of friends were sitting at the table sharing a meal, but there was no way that that would happen.

(Ohhh, I love that name. I play an online game with horses, and someone on there has that like everywhere. I think they breed Arabs too! ^u^)

Adrian caught himself glancing over as Toshiro smiled. For a second, the attraction he'd felt earlier was back. Quickly, the male shoved it from his mind.

"Ohhh....Arabians...I'm more of a paint girl...Adrian likes walkers....Did you like the dubstep? If you did, maybe Adrian can take you up to his room after dinner and owwie!" She glared at her brother for a moment, who stared calmly back. "Oh, screw it. Adrian likes you!" She blurted, making the male frown.

He buried his face in his food, eating quickly. He didn't deny or confirm it, however, either way, it didn't really matter. Toshiro was a target. No good would come of any kind of relationship with he boy.

Toshiro found himself nodding his head as he listened to the other talk. Paints were beautiful horses, and walkers were strong and handsome just like Adrian. Where had that thought come from!? He mentally smacked himself as he continued to eat his food. He listened to the other, but looked up when he heard Amy yell out in what he assumed was pain. He had felt the table give a little jolt before that too when Amy had jumped. Adrian must have kicked her, or nudged her or something of the sort. He then turned beet red when he heard Amy blurt out that Adrian liked him. He turned his gaze on the other, but Adrian was quickly eating his foot not making any form of eye contact. However, he didn't confirm or deny it, so that meant that there must have been some truth to it as well.

Toshiro bit his lip though, deep in thought. that meant that the other male was going through internal strife right now. On the one hand he was a hit man, hired for a kidnapping. This was a job, there was no fraternizing with him, and on the other hand there stood a boy, no a man, that found him attractive. Some things just weren't fair in life. He tried to diffuse the tension by blurting out," That can't be true, Amy. I mean-," he faulted. "I am just the target after all."

Adrian just glanced over, and pointed at Toshiro with his spoon, and glancing meaningfully at his sister. "See...even he knows it's not right...and he's the kidnapped kid!"

The female sulked, before glaring at her brother. She turned back to Toshiro. "It's true. He admitted it earlier. I tell you what. Let's have a little test, sound good?"

Adrian eyed the female warily, unsure of what she was thinking.

Toshiro looked up from his food. The atmosphere had turned from one of uneasiness to downright hostility. He wanted to get out of here now. He moved back in his chair, but froze when he heard Adrian say that even he knew that it was wrong. Just because its wrong didn't mean that he didn't want it. He wanted it very much, but he didn't want Adrian to put himself in a position that was bad for the other. He glanced at Amy and raised an eyebrow. Test? What kind of test? Toshiro knew that the other was trying to get him together with Adrian, but he didn't know to what extent she would actually go.

Ce-ce smiled when she noted she had both the boy's attention. "One kiss. A nice deep kiss. If you guys don't feel anything for each other, well, then you passed the test."

"No." Adrian stated, lowering his head back to his food.

"Oh come on! Just one kiss! It's not like it will kill you, and you get to prove me wrong, for once..." The taunting had the desire effect on her sibling, and he glanced up.

"For once?"

"Yeah, you so steel hearted against Toshiro, just kiss him...And Toshiro...you know you want to too, so why not?"

Toshiro would have burst out laughing had it not been with anyone else but these two, but he kept quiet as he listened to the rules. It was one kiss. One deep kiss, albeit one kiss. "I guess," said Toshiro as he glanced up from his ice blue colored bangs. "I mean what could the harm possibly be?"

Celeste beamed, estatic. What was hotter than two guys kissing? Dinner and a show!

Adrian glanced over, somewhat suprised the boy agreed. He glanced back and forth between the two, wondering if this was set up between them. "Fine..." He finally muttered, dropping his fork unto the plate and standing up. If he was going to kiss him, though, he was going to do it right. "I'll be right back." He grunted, moving out of the room. He went to the bathroom, and began scrubbing his teeth with his toothbrush. Nothing worse than a kiss that tasted like food...and, if he was honest with himself, he was a bit nervous. His heart had picked up speed.

Ce-ce leaned forward, grinning like a Cheshire Cat. "See...it'll be easy...just seduce him!" She winked and settled back in his chair. "He really does like you..." She whispered, before glancing over to see Adrian re-enter the room. The male stood by the table awkwardly, not quite sure how to go about just randomly kissing another male, especially right in front of his sister.

Toshiro eyed the other. Were they really going to go through with this? He watched as Adrian got up and went hurridely away to some other part of the house. He figured that he would do the same thing. It was just one kiss right, but still he wanted to do it right, and that meant not doing it while he still smelled of food. When the other male got back. He eyed the other wondering what the other was going to do. Getting out of his chair he swallowed a little bit as he walked towards the basement door. Glancing over his shoulder with a grin he said," I am just going downstairs real quick."[/B] He didn't even wait for the other to answer as he was flying down the stairs. He brushed his teeth, and then washed his face as well. Standing near his bed he grinned a little bit as he said from the stairs," Well are you coming down or not?"

Adrian fidgeted as Toshiro bolted down the stairs. The male couldn't escape that was, so the male waited patiently, glaring at his sister, who just grinned happily back. The boy's voice made Addy jump a bit, and he turned towards the door. Nervous again, he moved to the stairs. A chair scraping behind him made him stop to glare at his sister. "Stay. You are so not seeing this."

The female pouted and sighed, but settled down, eating her dinner finally. Adrian felt like the steps lasted longer than normal. Adrian entered Toshiro's little room, his arms folded over his chest. He couldn't bring himself to look at the male, feeling a large lump in his throat. "O-okay...where should we do this, then?" He fought the urge to inform the boy they could simply tell Celeste, or 'Amy', that they had done it and there was no connection at all.
