Auria tore the picture out of her book and scrawled a bit of wording at the bottom, leaving out her name, though she was sure he would be able to tell who it was drawn by. She laid it on his desk quietly. "See you later Daniel." she said with a smile. She left without even asking if he was going to be up for the lesson that night. She then rushed out of the room and down the hallway to her choir class. After that she decided to go back to his room to ask him about the lessons for that night. She knocked on the door and peered inside. "Daniel? Are you in here?" she asked.

((@Spirit: Oh! What was the project about?? O.O))

((@Sailor: It was to do something or make something artistic. But it can't be a drawing, painting, or sculpture. For instance: Auria sang.))

(Ok! *nods*)

Akira was silent in the back. She was going to sing, but then Auria sang and she lost all of her nerve. She didn't want to look like a copycat.....

((There was someone else who had sang. >.< ))

"Yeah. I'm here." Came his reply. He was eating a TV dinner and writing some notes for tomorrow on a sheet of paper. The classroom was completely empty, save for him and his music, which blared out 'Blood! Will! Fol-low! Blood!...Dy-ing! Time! Is Here!' "Did you want to see me about something?" He looks up from his paper at Auria and smiles. "You have a very beautiful singing voice, by the way. I'd love it if you sang for me again."

Auria smiled and walked in, bringing her lunch with her. "Oh yes, I wasn't even paying attention to my hand while the others were presenting. I think the man in the picture is getting closer.." she said softly. At the bottom of the page were the words 'Think of me', written in cursive. "I was just seeing what you thought about it." she said, blushing at his comment on her singing. "I'd like to sing for you again.." she said softly, pulling up a chair to sit down with him.

"Well", comes his guarded reply, "I think it means that whoever you like is becoming more apparent to you. Or to them, it's hard to tell which." He looks at the picture, then laughs slightly. "If I didn't know better, I'd almost think it was me." He eats a bit more, then looks at her, smiling. "So, who's the lucky guy? Come on, you can tell me, there's no one in here but us." he says, apparently not having a clue who the person in the drawing is.

Auria blushed and took a bite of her sandwich, wondering to herself if that really was him in the picture. She swallowed and laughed softly. "I honesly don't know Daniel." she said. "The only guys I really hang around with are well you... and I've met a couple of werewolves and demons that I have no interest for. Mainly because I've never liked any one other than angels." she said nonchalantly. She bit her lip, hoping he wouldn't catch on that she had a bit of a crush on him without her own consent. It just happened. "And the only angel guys that I have seen or met on campus is you, and Akira's roommate Peter." she added, eating a bit more. Now she wondered if she had said too much.

"Ah, I see." he replies, the song on the stereo switching to a much more peaceful and serene song--the display on the stereo reading 'Gorillaz - Every Planet We Reach Is Dead - Demon Days'. "Well, then, maybe the picture doesn't actually mean anything." he shrugs. "I've painted and drawn several similar things without them meaning anything." He looks out the window at the snow gently falling. "So, in case you're wondering, we're still on for tonight. Though you don't have to hang around my music lessons if you don't want to." So he says--though he already looks tired.

Auria nodded and smiled at him, hiding that she was disappointed in his answer about the drawing. "Are you sure?" she asked, looking at him. She could tell that he was tired. "If you're too tired tonight we can postpone it.." she told him, tilting her head while she looked at him. She had finished her sandwich and was drinking a soda. She was, of course, thinking only of his well-being. She wondered if the picture would change again that night if she dared to let herself not know what she was drawing.

"Yeah. I'll take a nap when classes end. I'll have a few hours to catch some shut-eye between fourth period and my music lessons." He says, drinking some orange juice from a champagne glass. [[MAN IS THIS WHAT THE PEOPLE OF BEL-AIR LIVE LIKE]] "Don't worry about me, I'm still trying to get used to this schedule and my medications." He smiles at her, looking at the drawing again. "Still, you did this subconsciously? It's really good. I can't do anything like that subconsciously, I always have to focus on it for it to turn out good. Perhaps that's why my drawings and paintings don't mean anything deeper than what they are, ha ha." He leans back and [[WHISTLES FOR A CAB AND WHEN IT COMES NEAR]] takes a drink from his glass, closing his eyes as he listens to the peaceful music.


[[I so apologize for those Fresh Prince references, I'm not thinking straight right now]]

((Haha you made my day! I love Fresh Prince!!))

Auria nodded. "Sometimes I'll be holding a pen to take notes or something and when I look down there's a picture. So if I'm actually listening to someone or something then I'll take out my sketchbook and a pencil and let my hand go free." she replied, listening to the soothing song as well. "The drawings I actually concentrate on never come out the way I want them too." she said, shrugging slightly. She took another sip and leaned back in her chair as well. She was still wearing the white dress and heels. With her luck, leaning just a little bit spelled out disaster, she ended up topping out of the chair.

Daniel nods, then laughs when Auria falls out of the chair. He sets his glass down and stands up, walking out from behind his desk and shaking his head at her on the ground. "Are you alright, Auria? A pretty girl like yourself doesn't look good like that. Up you go." He sticks his hand out for her to take, giving a soft smile. The mid-day light from outside casting a soothing glow on his face, making him look even more like an angel than he regularly did. His wings are, naturally, always held behind him close to his back, white as the fresh snow outside. However, some of the feathers have a black tinge to the tips, but nothing very noticeable.

Auria blushed deeply and pouted. "I'm a complete clutz..." she said, trying not to laugh at herself in embarassment. She reached for his good hand, pausing to look at how amazing he looked in this light. She shook her head, trying not to stare so much at him and stood up with his help. She didn't let go of his hand though, she was still looking at his face in amazement. As for herself, the only she thought that stood out on her were her eyes. There were a passionate purple, more of the color of an orchid. They glittered and danced in the sunlight.

"It's okay. You're not hurt, are you?" He says softly, looking over her body to make sure she isn't cut or bruised anywhere. After he's sure she's okay, he looks into her eyes as the light from outside cascades over them. His hand tightens around hers momentarily as he forgets himself and where they are. 'She's very cute. I want to kiss her...' he thinks briefly, blinking once or twice. He smelt vaguely of lavender, though from what, nearly impossible to tell. The music [[VERY CONVENIENTLY]] switches to a song with a piano playing softly.

[[Ugh, short post! But romantic post!]]

((Ah! So cute though! [Dang convienient music ^^]))

Auria's heart skipped a beat as his hand tightened around hers. "No I'm not hurt..." she said softly. 'Just one kiss couldn't hurt.... could it?' she thought to herself. She allowed herself to get lost in his eyes. Before she knew it she was slowly leaning up towards him, hoping he would get the hint.
((Eh, short post from me too. Sorry. >.< ))

Daniel leans down and his lips touch hers gently as his other arm snakes around her, hugging her body close to his as they kiss. And, in that moment, nothing exists in the world but him and her. Nothing else matters but them, and his heart thuds against his chest as his mind screams at him for breaking his morals. 'Idiot! What am I doing?! I shouldn't be doing this!!' it yells at itself, but despite this he doesn't stop.

[[Woohoo! Short post! YEEAAHH]]

Auria gasped softly as their lips touched. She closed her eyes and laid her hand on his shoulder, kissing him gently. 'I know this shouldn't be happening but there's no way I'm going to stop it....' she thought to herself with her lips still locked with his. She moved closer when his arm pulled her against his body, her heart pounded harder. She could feel the sun on them and she savored the taste of his lips. 'I don't want this to stop...' she thought, her other hand was still holding on to his.

((Yay!! Haha I made a semi-acceptable post!!))

After but a few moments, he pulls his lips away from hers, his face flushed slightly, his eyes opening wide. "Um..." He gasps softly as he lets go of her hand and takes his arm away from her, stepping back. He quickly turns around and walks back behind his desk, his head down. "I...shouldn't have done that. S-sorry." He says to her quietly, his voice barely audible, clearly embarrassed and giving himself a hard time for kissing her. "I m-mean, you're a student and I'm l-like, t-ten hundred years older..." He babbles meaninglessly as his brain goes into overload, scolding himself nonstop.

Auria frowned when he pulled away. She watched him go to his desk and put his head down. "Daniel....." she said softly, going over to him. "It's fine..." she told him, putting her hands on his shoulders. She sighed. "I wanted it too... and it's not like anyone saw us. It's not like I'm going to go blab to the entire school..." she whispered. "I do like you Daniel, and yes you are my teacher but that doesn't stop me. I have a feeling that in my drawings it was you. I'm almost afraid of what it will be right now..." she told him, refering to him drawing back and regretting what they did.

He sighs to himself. "I know...I had a feeling that you liked me, but..." He trails off, not sure how to respond. "...I mean, you're my student, and...." He seems unable to find the words to say anything, so he says what comes to mind. "You're still so young, you've got your entire life ahead of you and I mean, it'd be a crime to waste it on a washed up guy like me, it really would. So, uh, sorry about that. Sigh...I should probably start looking for available teaching jobs again." he says quietly, closing his eyes. "Ugh...fucked up on the second day of the trimester. That was really fast." he says dejectedly, his medication's effects temporarily obliterated by the stress.

Auria looked hurt. "I'm sorry...." she said. "But you don't have to look for a new job, I don't want you to leave." she explained. "Look, I won't tell anyone about this and you won't lose your job.." she said softly. "You didn't fuck up...." she sighed, putting her hand under his chin. The bell rang, signaling for lunch to be over and for students to head to their third class. "I'm sorry Daniel, I didn't mean for it to happen. But it did..." she said softly. "Please don't leave...." she kissed him on the cheek and gathered her things, fighting tears as she left his room to head for her third class.

((And this is where I must get off until later. We can start at his music class when I get back if you'd like? I'll see you later tonight! ^^ ))

The rest of the day passed too slowly for Daniel. He seemed a bit distraught in third period, and the students murmured amongst themselves later that he was having a small mental breakdown during their presentations. After the classes end, he stumbles back to his dorm and just collapses on the bed, his eyes closing and his mind fogging as he let the tides of sleep take him...

And he is awakened by the annoying beeping of the alarm clock. Cursing loudly, he smacks it off the end table and it crashes apart on the floor into pieces. Not bothering to clean them up, he just went and showered, took his meds, and headed back to the art classroom briskly to start his music lessons for the day. As always, he came about half an hour early to set up the classroom for his next student, wondering what he would do for the private art lessons between him and Auria afterwords.

Auria tried to focus on the rest of her classes. Though she couldn't help but look lost. She constantly thought about what had happened with her and Daniel. She was having a hard time paying attention to her studies. Not once did she pull out her sketch book, though she probably should have because she ended up needing two or three more copies of the papers they were working on in class. Every one that she got ended up being drawn on. She was mainly afraid of what she might draw on the paper if she let herself go. Auria was even having trouble focusing in gymnastics, she fell multiple times doing flips on floor, and on the balance beam. Getting frustrated with herself she left early and went to her dorm. There she pulled out a poster canvas and her paints. She put on a movie and let her focus go to the movie, rather than her hand moving across the board. The brush finally dropped when the movie was almost over. She decided to wait until later to see what the painting told her. Looking at the clock, she got ready to go to the private lesson. She was second guessing herself on if she should go or not. Her feet carried her out of her dorm and to the art room where she music class was still in session. She was limping slightly because during practice she had landed on her ankle pretty hard, twisting it before she fell. She limped into the class quietly and sat on the sat desk from the night before. She was now in a red dress that cut from her hip at an angle, showing an under skirt of a slightly darker red barely coming to her mid-thigh. She was now wearing knee-high black boots and a black jacket to match.
