looking the seventeen year old josh smiled a weird smile. "you know you dont look that trustworthy your self."

The boy tilted his head, raising his hand up to nibble on his fingers absently. "I suppose not. I am glad to see you are not a creepy old man." He poked Lawrence in the side. "Laaaww."

"Yeah, yeah, I see you..."

"now why would I be Old." josh stood up a little bit taller. "we met in school for crying out loud." ~dont like him~

~I do. Don't tell me you're jealous.~ Lawrence gave him a skeptical look.

Wyatt arched an eyebrow. "I thought you might be one of the elder students. Don't lie to me--I know there are older ones there. Or, you could have been a teacher...many possibilities."

josh got a sick look on his face. "I do not want to know why you think such thoughts. they are sick and discussing." ~I dont know I just dont like him, the whole feel of him is off.~ josh could not tell why he did not trust the boy but he didn't, and he was showing tiny hints that he did not like him that some one who knows body language could read.

"Not particularly. One must consider all possibilities." Wyatt could sense that Josh didn't like him and seemed amused by that.

Lawrence immediately got defensive. ~He's my best friend. There's nothing wrong with him.~ His tone was sharp.

“I see you have been enjoying yourselves.” Angelo said with a sigh. “and what did you guys learn when I lifted you.
That you have a bad temper and that you need to get laid. William thought a touch annoyed. Why was Angelo in their room bugging them. did he not have papers to grade?

“’I dont see him ever thinking a teacher is interested in him let alone would he take the teacher up on the offer.” Josh was mad, here he was giving his honest opinion to Lawrence and he was turning on him as if he had said that he had been raped by this guy. ~I am sorry but something just feels off to me. I don’t know what it is, but it is.~

"I agree." Tzal yawned and curled up a bit more. He really wanted to get some sleep.

Wyatt shrugged. "Teachers are people, don't forget. It is not unlikely to find a teenager and teacher who fall in love. It is not likely, however, to find a teacher-student couple that works out, due to social issues with their relationship..."

Lawrence looked upset. He just stood there, thinking this entire thing was a terrible failure and he was to blame.

“you agree with what, Tzalmon?” Angelo looked at them both before frowning. “what have you two done?”
“what does it matter to you Angelo. Its not like you need to know all our business, and speaking about business I don’t feel that comfortable standing here naked with you in my room.”

“yes teachers are people but most of the teachers I know would never even think of allowing those feeling to grow.” Tanking a deep breath josh sighed. “let’s not fight, your Lawrence’s friend and we came here to see you.”

Tzalmon tilted his head, then frowned at Angelo. "I hate to be rude and I hate to make assumptions, though I feel these are well-guessed...you do not have a significant other, currently, do you?"

"Fight?" Wyatt looked genuinely surprised. "Who's fighting? I am not fighting. I am merely making my point...I did not once raise my voice or use unkind words."

Lawrence snickered. "Wyatt...you really are oblivious."

“I do not see what business it is of a student weather I have a love life or not.” Angelo sounded a bit put off by the way Tzal had asked.
“and you don’t need to be standing in our room while we stand here naked.” Water dripped down Williams back which made it itch and he could not reach it with Tzal in his arms. Would you please get that for me it is going to drive me nuts!
“what have you two done?” this time there was a bit of fear in Angelo’s voice.

“the way our conversation was going it looked like we would be fighting. I do not like your accusations and you won’t take them back, there for I can only see this ending in a fight unless one of us says let us not.” He did not like this young man and it was not getting better.

Idly, Tzal used his power to flick the water off and relax the itching spot. "You sound...frightened? We haven't done anything..." he looked amused, "...yet. I intend to find a good match for you and bring her, or him if you'd like, here. I think it's sad that you don't have anyone. If I can find a near 100% match for you, using Cupid-like powers, will you give it a go?"

"I have not accused you of anything. I am very protective of my dearest Law and simply wanted to interrogate--er...have a chance to meet...his new beau..." Wyatt looked offended.

Lawrence said nothing. If a real fight started, he was leaving.

“something you did recently has changed you both.” His voice was low and drawn.
“We only did what every courting couple would love to do.” William sighed with relief. thank you tzal it was going to drive me nuts. I think what he is referring to is what we did in our minds, that which has made us much more close,

“His only Beau you mean.” Josh grumbled. if he is going to keep this up I am going, I don’t mind if you hang out with him but I am not going to stand here being sneered at.

~Oh, I know. It is none of his business, anyway.~ Tzal frowned, folding his arms across his small chest. "You didn't answer my question, you know."

"My goodness, are you jealous?" Wyatt looked quite amused. "Jealous of me? I'm taken, boy. Let it go."

Lawrence rolled his eyes.

“You have done something you should not have.” Angelo tried to see what they had done. Both William and Tzal would feel the magic field change as he tried to see what had happened. Moving his hand slightly William blocked the probe.
“What we have done is not your concern until it interferes with our studies. Now get out of our room!” Angelo was stunned at this change in William. Turning he walked to the door before turning.
“I hope it does not harm you two, your both quite gifted.” He walked out.
I thought he would never leave.

“I am Jealous of you?” josh sneered. “why would I, I know you have a boy, and had you not you would have already made a move on him.” crossing his arms a crossed his chest he glared at Wyatt. I am sorry but I don’t think I can take any more of him. I will go look around and you two can have some fun. turning away josh looked at what was around them.

~...Yes, he definitely needs to get laid.~ Frankly, Tzal didn't care if Angelo heard that or not. ~I missed my class already...so why don't we work on finding someone with Cupid powers? After we get dressed, of course.~

Lawrence shook his head, then rubbed his temples and walked away, disappearing into the crowd and leaving Wyatt and Josh alone in the ice cream shop.

Your only to make him madder at us. setting Tzal down on the bed he smiled. “and I thought you said you were tired. What happed to that?” he ran his fingers slowly along Tzal’s face.

Storming off into the crowd he did not realize that Lawrence had done the same thing. stupid arrogant know it all. What right does he think he has to judge me the way he is. I am only doing what I know how to do. I am being nice to Lawrence. he snorted. his “dearest Law” oh that is cute really cute.

"I am tired. And I'm aware he will be peeved. He's not exactly the type to hook up with someone so easily. Which is why I want to find him a near-perfect match. I'm tired, yes, but this matter is both amusing and important...so I would like to try and locate someone with Cupid powers."

Wyatt trailed after Josh. He seemed perfectly content, and he wasn't attempting to fight at all. "I believe we had better make amends. Law won't speak to either of us until we do."

“you take a nap I will wake you latter and I will see if I can find someone with the gift.” William kissed Tzal on the forehead before putting the covers over him. “And that is an order. I don’t need you passing out on the stairs and falling to a very painful stay in the hospital wing.”

Josh turned around as he was walking. “I tried that you know.” He was anger at this man; he had no right to be acting like this now. “I tried to be nice but you had to toss it in my face. I did not start this you know.” Turing back around he almost ran into another student. Smiling the student looked at both of them
“and who are you?” his voice was soft as he asked Wyatt.

Tzal grumbled, but nodded. "I suppose I can still stay with you via my dreams? Is it possible? I would like to be able to see what is going on, still. My body is tired, but my mind is raring to go."

Wyatt sniffed. "Wyatt Aisenyl. A graduate from the nearby boarding school." He was only seventeen...but he had graduated already. Lawrence had forgotten to mention that Wyatt had some sort of power, as well...

“You can try, I was going to go back into the bath and try a spell to see if I could find one that would be open to doing what you want.” William leaned back and ran his hand along the blanket. “I have to cut myself apart from everything but with this new bound we may still be able to be in contact.”

“Ah yes I thought you were familiar. Adam Knight, I was two classes above you.” Josh tried to get passed Adam but he put out his hand. “You’re the new student aren’t you.” His blue eyes seemed to bore into josh.

Tzal snuggled his arm slightly. "I think we will still be bound...let's go for it."

"Ah." Wyatt was not a very social person, and he didn't care much for petty chatter. So, unless it was a topic he was interested in, he rarely spoke a good amount of words...

I am up for it. William kissed Tzal’s fingers before standing up. “do not worry love, I would never leave you if I can help it.”

“Yah I am Josh.” smiling Adam looked at Wyatt, then turned back to josh. “I thought so, what to join me for some coffee or such?” Adam gave Wyatt a look of ‘get lost’.
“ah sure.” Taking any chance to get away from Wyatt he fallowed the older boy away.

Wyatt shrugged and went back to the ice cream shop. He would not go after Lawrence, even though this mall was known as a dangerous place for a young boy to travel alone--several reports of attempted rape, rape, and abductions.

Lawrence had settled himself in a less-populated area of the mall. He was sitting on the floor, his back against the wall and his head down.

Walking into the bath room again William sighed and slipped back into the water. why had Angelo been so scared of what we had done. Its not like it is something tragic. He liked it just as much as I did. thinking of what they had done he slipped into that place. It was now a place that he and Tzal would have to go to in their minds where they could see each other. ~so love what do you think? Why do you think he was afread?~ William said as a way to call Tzal into this space.

Talking josh did not notice when Wyatt turned away. He had never had one of the upper classmen talk to him in his other schools. He found it interesting that this guy who was cute was talking to him. looking him over josh wished that Lawrence would like dressing this way too. He could look so good if he just put his mind to it. He did not even have to spend that much money to get the look.

“hay did your lover run off again?” standing near Lawrence was the older boy that had help him find josh earlier. Running his hand through his black hair he smiled. “or did you run from him this time?”
