(Want me to start?)

((Yesh. By the way, for the other one, what was the setting supposed to be again?))

(Kay. And gay bar. XD)

((Thought so. XD Wait, who's who? Are they both going to be dancers? They're both too young to be customers. And I can't see either of them as a customer. Maybe one of them should arrive as a new dancer?))

(Kay. That works.)

----------

Tetsuki slips to the computer as soon as his father finishes yelling at him. Just another day for him, sadly. But at least he can distract himself by talking to his online only friend, Chained_Iris. He didn't know much about the man, outside of the chat room, but he did know his gender, and personality.

Signing on, he sees that Chained_Iris is online. He quickly and eagerly opens a new message. <Hey, how're you today? Anything interesting happen?>, he types, quietly and quickly. He logs into his emails as he waits for a response from Iris.

((*pouts* Neeehhhhh. It's not fun if he knows anything about him other than his personality, gender, and screen name. It gives him less of a stalker-ish feel. And I want it to be surprising once they finally meet...considering the age difference. It'd probably be the same for Tetsuki, then--Sebby wouldn't know anything much about him, either.))

Sebastian was always online. 24/7. He lived alone, in an old apartment building in one of New York City's semi-decent blocks. To get by, he had a job at the nearest local supermarket. It was a semi-big place--there weren't a lot of big stores in this area. He stacked boxes...menial work.

The typical 'ping' of an instant message distracted him from his homework--he took online college. He glanced away from it for a moment and then, to his delight, saw that Silver Diamonds, one of his many online friends, was finally on. He'd been waiting for him all day.

<Hey. Same as always...a lot of work for a little pay, and then I come home to mounds of homework waiting for me...the usual, boring junk. How about you?>

Tetsuki perks up when he hears his chat sound. <Ew, homework. I have some too. Math. Mainly because I half told my teacher off. But she was too stupid to give the right answers. But, you can imagine how thrilled my father was about that. He hasn't stopped yelling since I got in the car. But other than that, not much happened. Oh, except for having a new concert sprung on me. It's on Tuesday. They tell me now. My school just fails, but oh well.. He sighs at having five days to create a piece to sing for his solo concert thing. He then snorts, hearing his father yelling about the math incident again.

Sebastian grinned, then frowned, then grinned again.

<Parents are like that. It's a fact of life. 'I had to go through the exact same things you had to go through when I was your age--' blah, blah, blah. Boo hoo. Turn off the faulty waterworks--you're supposed to be the adults in the family, not the children. Another concert, huh? What are you going to do for this one?>

Tetsuki grins at the parent comments. He also glances out his door before typing.

<I know. But he really needs to get how stupid my math teacher is. She has an answer book, and still screws up.And as for the concert, I have no idea. But my director says he wants me to compose something, in order to 'showcase my talents'. In other words, he wants to make my life more difficult. But oh well, I'll have something. I'll just look at my folder of half finished works.>

He chuckles at that, knowing there'll be something that would work. Finding it will be the only issue.

Sebastian was currently knee-deep in math homework.

<And this is why I love online schooling. Contact with teachers is so limited...you should pick out something you've never really dabbled with before. Something new. Something fresh.>

Tetsuki is still avoiding his math homework. He debates saving it until homeroom.

<I know. But I'd have increased contact with my father. Which would suck. But I have five days to do something new. And I'm really picky. But, maybe it would be better. I might actually keep interest this time. Unlike the many others that I've lost interest in.>

Sebastian rarely ever does his math homework. One really didn't need extended knowledge of math to be a world historian, which was what he was aiming to be.

<True. Go for it--it's never a bad idea to try something new. Unless it's calamari. Which is nasty.>

Tetsuki is just too unmotivated to care about math right then.

<I guess I will try something new. And it is gross. That's why I don't eat it.>

He chuckles at that, making a face.

Sebastian snickered, then yawned widely.

<Good. Fish are friends, not food.>

He paused, then, rolling something over in his mind.

<...Hey. You want to meet up sometime, in real life? If I sound like a stalker or something, I'm not...if you think I am, just bring a weapon or something. Where do you live, roughly?>

Tetsuki snickers at that.

<Unless they try to eat me first. Then they're a dead fish.>

He ponders the next part of his message.

<Uh, sure. And I already knew you were a stalker, duh. Kidding. ...Maybe. And uh, I live about ten minutes from Cytilla high school.>

Sebastian rolled his eyes, amused, and provided a link to a YouTube video of the Jaws theme song.

<Pfft. I'm no stalker. Do you know where Aiki's Grocery Store is? I work there...stackin' boxes and the like. Extravagant, no? You can meet me there between noon and ten at night. I work long hours.>

Tetsuki snorts. He shakes his head as he types.

<Lovely link. And I do know where it is. well, that explains why you're so weird, you dropped a box on your head. But, I should be able to get there around three-thirty, due to school getting out at three. I'll tell my prying father that I'm going to practice or something like that.>

Sebastian yawned, stretching a bit, as he responded.

<Good...I'll be there. In the junk food area. Just keep asking employees about me until you find me.>

Tetsuki raises an eyebrow.

<Junk food? Lovely. And I'll do so. But won't I seem odd if I go around asking people using your screen name?>

Sebastian wrinkled his nose.

<Eh...true. I'll make it easier on you. Look for the guy wearing a very bright pink shirt...that will be me.>

He would hate himself at work for it.

Tetsuki giggle-snorts at that.

<Oh god. That's epic. I'm gonna enjoy that. Let's just hope that my luck says good, and there aren't five bright pink shirted people there. Or it becomes pink shirt day or something.>

Tetsuki chuckles at the thought.

Sebastian yawned, then stretched out.

<That probably won't happen...I've got to get back to my work, so pardon me if my responses start becoming slow.>

Tetsuki sighs, staring at his math book.

<I should get started on my evil math homework. Have fun.>
