"I don't know...maybe he has a certain type of person he likes..." Lawrence informed him, thinking.

"I do not plan on hurting him. I plan on keeping Lawrence away from him as much as possible until he regains his head." Wyatt's expression was like a stone statue's.

"I guess I'd better stay with Hershey..." Seymour stood up. "Bye-bye, Wai-Wai!"

“Well then we will have to just keep you away from him as he is fallowing after Angelo.” Smiling he held out his hand to Lawrence. “But for now you really should go back to your room and wait for josh to feel better. I think he may be swapping with someone else for roommate for a bit. I don’t think it would be wise to keep forcing him to spend time with you.” He looked sad at this comment but he knew that what he said was true. He also knew that Josh would not push for a new room but it would be in their best interest if he did have a new room.

“Well I have plans on removing Josh from their room so that he does not cause to much harm to what they have.” His cold front slowly melted at the thought that this man was going to try to help Lawrence. “If you want to stay here for the time being Seymour, I can come pick you up latter. They can call me in my office when you want to come home to the school.”

"Uh...I don't want to bug the dean any more than I already have this year...I think I'd be better off going to stay with Wyatt and having his guardian drive me to school, if that's what it takes. I don't think Wyatt's going to be very happy with Josh...actually, it'd be a good idea to keep an eye on him--he can be really mean when he wants to be," Lawrence revealed.

Seymour shook his head. "No...I can't...I'd rather stay with Hershey. He gets worried and all ornery when I'm not there..."

“That would make since, but don’t you have to ask the dean for permission for that too?” Vinny sighed. “also it is good that your thinking about keeping Wyatt from Josh, from what little I remember of him he did have his temper.” Standing up he started walking down the hall expecting Lawrence to fallow. “by the way has he found his true love yet? Last time I went looking for one for him it seemed that he had one from what I could tell.”

“well then we should get you back to school and to him, where ever he is.” Angelo said slightly disgusted. He really did not want to have to deal with Seymour’s brother.

"...He doesn't have to know...as long as I'm at school when I need to be, I don't have to ask him for anything," Lawrence informed him, trailing after him. "As for Wyatt...yeah, he does have one...his guardian. His guardian, he...he just won't accept it."

Seymour frowned at his tone, and put his hands on his hips. "Aren't you charming? My brother is a good guy. A really good guy."

“Actually you have forgotten the bed checks that they do randomly. If you’re not in your bed and don’t have permission to be off campus then you will be in trouble.” Adam had once been caught by the night staff when he had snuck off for a quickie. Vinny remembered the fight that ensued from it too.

“Your brother may be a nice guy to most people but he is not that nice to me. There for I have a right to be this grumpy about him.” Angelo turned and looked at Seymour. “I do not need some young man falling for my charm, and I don’t care how old you two really are he looks young there for he is too young.”

"I'm already in trouble in the eyes of the staff because I won't wear my uniform," Lawrence reminded him. "It doesn't matter to me, really..."

"I dunno how much you know about Lichuen, but Hershey and I were born during the golden years of the lost Kingdom of Myr...so, we're pretty old!" Myr was the first Kingdom formed, the first sign of civilization, in Lichuen. Lichuen was about as old as this dimension was...

“Then it would be even better if you did not get in more trouble. Right now they are tolerating you not wearing the uniform but if they catch you not where you’re to be they may expel you and then where would you be with Josh.” Vinny thought slowly over what Lawrence had said about Wyatt. “You know if you would like I could have a look see at his guardian and if they are meant for each other I could draw up the charts and show him.”

“You two are still to young looking for me.” He held open the door to the car for Seymour. “I know about the lost kingdom and those that were there. It is just I can’t be with some one that looks so young. It just…” he shrugged. “I don’t know how to say it.”

"I don't know..." Lawrence looked tired, and annoyed...almost like he just wanted to be alone somewhere where he could relax. "I don't care...I just want to go to Wyatt's. And I don't know if that would change Aric's mind, but it's worth a shot."

"Uh...we're not twins, in case you haven't noticed. I stopped aging when I turned sixteen. But...Hershey's nineteen...he stopped aging three days before he was to turn twenty," Seymour informed him, frowning. "He's not young."

“Come how about we go to your room and you relax there for a while. I would not be surprised if Angelo is not already thinking up something to do with you two.” Vinny lead him up to their room. “And when you want to have me take a look at this Aric just tell me.”

“I had noticed that you two were not twins. But he did seem younger then that when I saw him.” starting the car Angelo slowly thought about what Seymour had said on the drive back.

Lawrence walked with him, but made no move to go into his room. He was younger than most of the students here--he was fourteen, after all. And so, he was a little more childish and emotionally unstable than most of them. He looked like he was on the verge of weary tears. "I want Wyatt..." He sounded like an upset child, yearning for the comfort of someone he truly trusted.

"That's 'cause he can be really immature when he's bored," Seymour replied confidently, amused.

“I don’t have a car nor do I have my cell phone with me.” Vinny had never had to comfort another boy before and did not know where to start so he sounded a bit out of his depth.

Sitting strait up out of a very nice dream William looked around then searched his mind for what had woke him. “Oh for crying out loud.” He said with slight agitation. ~Lawrence would you like me or Tzal come down there?~ his mental voice showed none of the agitation from being woken up, only the worry that someone was hurting Lawrence.

“So your saying your brother was bored?” Angelo had to slam on the brakes as a cop car pulled out in front of them and throw on its lights. “Well they could have given a body warning.”

Lawrence didn't answer. Instead, he just stood there and repeated himself, softly.

"He's always bored. He amuses himself by irritating people, a lot of the time, 'cause he's got nothing else to do. He and Wai-Wai used to bicker a lot for the fun of it!" Seymour informed him, not at all jolted by the sudden braking.

Nudging Tzal William sighed. “we may have a problem I think Lawrence may be having a brake down. Do we still have that key to the odd car that the science group made?”

“ummmm I don’t know how I can help you get there.” Vinny held his hands up trying to get him to calm down but anyone could tell that he was not good at dealing with problems like this.

“so he is always bored so he is always going to act immature.” Angelo waited as more emergences cars pulled out in front of them.

Tzal jerked awake, yawning. "I dunno..." Then, he paused. "...Uh...we'd better get moving quickly if we don't want him getting upset. He has an untested and uncontrolled power, remember, over natural disasters..."

Lawrence just stood there, and didn't say anything. All he wanted was to stay with Wyatt, and stay there until he felt safe again.

"If someone un-bores him, then he won't act as immature," Seymour corrected. Then, he paused. "...I feel a strange chill in the air."

“oh fudge!” William in his half sleep state had not remembered that he had that gift. Moving faster then he usually moved he was out the door and down the stairs pulling on his shirt. As he hit the first landing he sent to Lawrence. ~Tzal and I have a car we will be taking you where you want to go just go pack we will be there in moments.~ then he sent to Tzal ~don’t forget the keys for the car.~

Vinny could not think of what to say.

Looking up into space Angelo growled. “can you make the car move from here to the parking lot?”

Tzal groaned. He was much slower, but he did remember the car keys. He followed William at a leisurely walk.

Lawrence shuffled, and then headed into his and Josh's rooms to gather up some of his things. He wouldn't take everything...he would only take what he could carry.

"I can't do that, unfortunately...I need water around to do much of anything," Seymour admitted, sheepishly.

Worried about Lawrence’s sudden change Vinny started to step into the room only to be pulled back by William. “Don’t worry Vinny we have him covered just go look after josh. he will not want to look at you but if you can make sure he does not try something stupid?” he raised an eyebrow in a questioning way to make sure that Vinny knew what he meant before moving on. “Don’t worry about the dean if Angelo won’t deal with him I will. I know what josh is going through and I know what he needs. Don’t treat him with pity, he does need it nor will it help our case with him. Treat him like you usually would, but don’t force him to talk about Lawrence or Adam. If he starts talking about them go with it.” Turning Vinny around he pushed him off to the infirmary. Vinny opened his mouth but then shut it again as his feet kept moving away. No longer caring what happened to Vinny a second after he sent him off William walked into the room.
“Ok you got everything that you need? Anything you’re going to want to take as well, maybe your sheets so that you don’t feel to out of place in their house?” in fact he was thinking that he might like the smell of Josh that still seemed to linger on them, more than the feel. “Don’t worry we will have him right as rain in a bit.”

“How much water do you need to move the car and us back to the school as quickly as possible?” it had been some time since Angelo had called water from the air it’s self but he know how to make it flood in a desert if need be.

Lawrence had shoved some of his favorite, most comforting clothing, a few books, his school supplies, and his pillow and blanket into one of the trunks he'd brought to school in the beginning of the year. "I'll be fine..." Lawrence's voice was barely a whisper. Wyatt was his only close friend, and had been there since he was just a baby. If he ever needed comfort, or anything at all, he could get it from Wyatt.

Seymour frowned. "...I think you may be overreacting a little," he informed him, pointedly. "Um...shouldn't you check if they've got it covered, first? I think he's calming down..." Seymour could sense things from far away...but he rarely could do anything about them.

Smiling William looked down at Lawrence, then held out his hand. “I am sorry this happened so soon into you to being lovers. I know how it can feel.” Looking down at the trunk he sighed. “you want me to take that to the car?”

“Maybe I am maybe I am not. But I don’t want him to have a brake down. He is my student and I care for him as much as I care for the others.” Angelo’s hands tightened on the steering wheel.

Lawrence didn't take his hand. Instead, he just nodded, silently, and let go of the trunk. It was a trunk that moved on wheels, but it was quite large and hard to pull.

"Check if they've got it under control before you freak out, though," Seymour reminded him, amused. "It seems like they've got it under control. Let's just get back at a normal, law-abiding pace..."

Lifting the trunk up fully William turned and carried it out of the room. This did not feel right but there was nothing else that could be done at this moment. They had to give each other space to work it out, but William was scared that what he had said to Lawrence would turn into a lie. There was a chance that he would never want to be lover to Lawrence after what had happened. ~you at the car yet love?~

Sighing Angelo leaned back as he pulled over to the side of the road. “I know, I know. But there are times that I just can’t over react. It is just the way I am hard wired.” Looking around Angelo ran his hand down his face and to his neck. “I was not cut out to be a teacher here, at a bordering school.”

~I'm here. I'm too damned short to get it started, but it's unlocked.~ Tzal was grumbling about his small size yet again. There was nothing he could do about it, unless Angelo agreed to teach him Momo magic, which was difficult and dangerous, if messed up.

Lawrence followed him, arms wrapped around himself. He wanted to be close to Wyatt, who always provided a sense of comfort for him.

"...Well...there's not much else a mage can do in this time and day. Except, maybe try to make new spells...break into new worlds." Seymour frowned, then nodded. "There's a challenge for you. Lichuen has never been broken into before...and there's a lot there that could benefit this world. There are rumors that there's a demon in Lichuen called Charmase...and that he can raise the dead."

~did not expect you to start it just open it.~ mentally he sent a cress along Tzal’s face and body. ~we will be down there in a few moments don’t worry.~ looking back at Lawrence he sighed. ~I really hope we are able to fix this, Lawrence seems to be welting as we walk here.~

“and according to the Demon mage accords of 1986 there is no braking into Demon worlds without approval of the Demon counsel which only convenes ever fifty years or so.” Angelo said reluctantly. The cars in front of them moved and then he moved. For some reason the traffic had come to a near standstill.

Tzal waited for them, huffing about his small size, still.

Lawrence was only going to get worse and worse the more time he didn't have his best friend by his side, it seemed...

"Lichuen is different," Seymour informed him, amused. "No one has been able to break into it. The counsel would probably deem anyone able to breach its barriers a sort of hero...it's never been done, so a lot of people go at it every day."
