"Oh really? Well, still sorry about that" Davir smiled floating upside down making sure not to run into any trees luckily "Come on, no sense it being awkward right? Want a free ride?" he asked as he feet hung towards the sky and his head on the same level as Gage's. "I mean, it's not magic carpet ride, but, it is better than walking isn't it?" he asked, his voice friendly and carefree like. If they didn't talk after this or have contact, that was fine, but, Davir wasn't about to leave him alone out at night. If anything happened to Gage, Davir would probably lose it, friends were important to him, way more important than his own family.

A voice broke through Gage's manic thoughts, causing him to jump to the point that he stumbled and fell backwards. He glanced around furiously, his eyes darting everywhere in an attempt to glare right at the speaker. "Wha...you? Davir?! I thought you left!" Gage yelped. He could feel the heat gathering in his cheeks again and he felt as if his entire body might be turning red out of embarrassment and anger. He hadn't jumped this bad in years and the thought that Davir was still near had his thoughts getting even more jumbled. Gage pulled himself back to his feet and started walking again. "I can walk home just fine, thank you!" He barely avoided a tree as he walked, keeping his gaze straight ahead to avoid acknowledging Davir.

"Alright, but, I'm not leaving till I see you home safely" Davir said still upside down floating around, he had better flying skills upside down instead of being right side up. Which for a Warlock was...strange even with magic...Davir looked puzzled then his expression went into a wide grin "Ooooh Gaaaage" something about the way he said that meant that he was up to something and sometimes that wasn't a good thing. Davir was in a care-free happy moment and if he ruined his night once, he might as well ruin the rest of it. Seriously what was the point of leaving after one thing ruined it? No fun in that.

Gage stumbled away from Davir, giving him a baffled look. "Why are you saying my name creepy like that?" he asked. He had no idea why Davir sounded so happy and it was unnerving. Gage wouldn't admit it, but he knew he was walking in a dangerous way. It was impossible to concentrate when he was like this though. Because of that, he couldn't tell Davir to go away. Instead, he paused and motioned to the space next to him. "If you're going to see me home, come down here and let me hold onto your arm." He suppressed a sigh. He didn't want to stand that close to Davir right now, but he didn't want to get hurt either.

"I have a much better idea, more fun too since you don't have to see it to enjoy" Davir said thinking what he just said sounded wrong, but, he knew how he meant it to be. Davir turned upright landing on the ground "Whoopsie daisy" he picked up Gage like a child (bridal style) and flew off into the sky with him then slowed his pace so they were up so high. Davir didn't say anything as he floated there near the clouds and waited for his reaction. "I wouldn't move, we're very high up" he smiled.

Gage's brow just furrowed for a second as he regarded Davir's words. That was until he was suddenly pulled off of his feet and lifted up. An undignified squeak escaped Gage's mouth. He certainly hadn't been expecting that and he grabbed hold of Davir's shirt, not sure if they were floating just above the ground or much higher. From the change in air temp, he thought it was much higher. "I told you I didn't want a ride! Ugh, put me down, Davir!" he exclaimed, punching the other boy lightly in the arm. Gage didn't act any different in the air than he did on the ground. After all, it wouldn't matter if he moved around and got dropped...though he wouldn't be happy if he lost another pair of clothes.

"I'm not going to" Davir said with a blank expression, it actually probably seemed like he was annoyed, "I will apologize for kissing you without knowing my own reason, but, I will not put you down. Besides, flying is more fun than walking" he didn't move, as if he was enjoying being up here with Gage and away from the rest of the world "Don't you like it better on the sky rather than on the ground? This way, no one is up here with else, and getting away...well I don't know about you, but, I love to be so high up" even though he feared heights, but, admitting his fear wasn't going to do anything...actually it could...Davir had another idea "Though I don't like heights" he was being honest there. The wind caressed them as they were floating in one spot and the moon was behind them only a bit to light up things a little. "I wish you could see this with me, it would be more enjoyable that way" Davir's heart began to pick up, not only for being up so high, but, for also being so close to Gage. He closed his eyes a moment as the magic surrounded them both keeping them just a little warm instead of freezing and that's when Davir looked down at Gage.

Gage stared up at Davir, his mouth slightly open, though he wasn't aware of it. He was staring, but only because he forgot to blink. He was starting to relax though and had give up on wanting to be let down. He never thought about liking the sky more, but he knew that he did like the agile grace that his bat form had when in the sky. He felt free flying that way. He supposed it wasn't any different as a human. "Why would a person afraid of heights like to fly?" he asked. "Though I used to fear heights with edges too...until I learned the bat won't let me fall." The first time Gage misjudged where the staircase was, he had screamed so bad falling, until he realized he was flying without having put any thought into it. He could trust his bat wings. Letting out a little sigh, he turned his head toward the ground. "I wish I could see it as well. Hey, tell me what it looks like," he asked, looking back at Davir. Although such descriptions always brought a pang of pain to his heart, they were also so beautiful and alluring. Besides, it was better than thinking about the kiss.

Davir laughed a little "I don't know, I'm weird like that" he didn't even know why he didn't like heights, he didn't fear falling, or even dying. That was just the way he was and he accepted it. Davir looked down "Everything looks so small up here, though the clouds look so soft like you could touch them, like fluffy cotton candy...the moon is small yet so beautiful, you can the holes of the moon a little bit, and the stars are shining like diamonds in the sky..." Davir wished he could trade places with Gage even for a moment to show him what it looked like in human eyes and not in his bat form. His energy around them faded "Come on, I probably should get you home, don't worry I won't drop you" he said holding slightly tighter just to keep the hold.

Silently, Gage listened to Davir's words. Like the beautiful, but cryptic lines of poetry, he followed Davir's descriptions of the night. Cotton candy clouds. He could almost imagine that, even if he couldn't visualize it no matter how hard to tried. He wasn't that bothered by this though, since he was imagining something just as wonderful, based on Davir's tone. They may have perceived the world in very different ways, but beauty was still beauty. "Now I want to eat a cloud," he said with a sigh. "You make it sound wonderful though, sight that is. Wouldn't it be nice if we could show each other the way we see?" He leaned closer to Davir, not that he was scared to fall. He did feel safe though and warm. It was the rarest thing for him to feel comfortable and trusting in another person like this so he decided to soak up as much as he could of the feeling.

Davir didn't move, he had his own idea of what to do, but, he would have to learn alot in order to do it. "Eat a cloud huh? I could see that" he smiled kindly enjoying the moment and he floated up there for what seemed like an hour or so, maybe longer. No one could ever tell what time it was after being up so high "I think it's time for someone to get some sleep" Davir whispered towards Gage and to be honest he was starting to get a bit tired himself. "In a few weeks, I should have a surprise for you, if you let me, though it's going to take some time" he refused to say what or give hint to anything.

Gage lost track of time although he normally had a very strong internal clock. It just seemed like they were in the air for a very long time, much longer than it should have taken to fly to Gage's house. He didn't say anything about it though since he was comfortable and disinterested in talking now. At Davir's hint though, his brow furrowed and he sent the other boy a small glare. "No, I don't like surprises! And you always do weird things too," he complained. "Either tell me or take me home."

"I can't tell you, otherwise it wouldn't be a surprise, but, if you don't want me to do it, then I won't" Davir sighed giving in, he could only play stubborn for so long before losing interest or losing his care to keep up the attitude. Though secretly, he wasn't going to just give in, anyways, he flew Gage home within a good amount of time, and floated by his window to let the boy get inside "Here you go, Gage. Sleep well, I have to go now" he said ready to leave to go home and sleep, though he was going to study before all that, and slipped a paper in the boy's pocket before allowing him to leave without him knowing it.

There was no point in trying to make Davir tell whatever surprise he had in mind. It seemed he had no intention of telling. Oh well, at least he'd finally taken Gage home. After crawling in through his window, Gage turned back toward Davir. "How should I know if I want or don't want you to do something if I don't know what it is? Whatever. Good night," he said. Figuring that the end of their conversation, he shut his window and tossed off his shirt and shoes before crawling into bed with the rest of his clothes on. He rarely changed into pajamas and he had grown accustomed in his earlier years to wearing his bracelet and belt even when sleeping, though he didn't need to anymore. It was just a comfortable habit. "That Davir, always making me confused..." Gage mumbled to himself before he drifted off into sleep.

Davir watched as the windows along with the curtains were closed and it began to rain. Davir rolled his eyes thinking 'Great' now this wasn't going to help his mood anymore than he would wish too. Davir thought of something as he flew back home in order to get his sleep though when he got home his parents were furious. He landed as they yelled at him while he walked upstairs to his room, going down the hallway, and shutting his door locking it. He loved sound proof rooms, meaning they wouldn't be able to hear him. He could however hear them.

"I can't believe he has the nerve to go out and on a stormy night to stay out so late, it's three in the morning, Joseph" Anna Marie complained to her husband, luckily the twins were already asleep; Anna Marie was the mother of the twins, but, she was a demon. Unlike the father who was known to be a faerie prince at the time giving his throne up to his almost twin brother Arthur; Joseph complained back "This is what happens when we adopt a child who comes out of no where in the middle of the night, Anna Marie" They went back and forth about all the bad things that seem to follow Davir who was right against the door sitting with his knees close to his chest listening to the arguments.

Davir sat in silence for a long time before he realized they went to bed and pain was created in his mind. Mental and emotional abuse was almost as bad as physical just less scars people can see. Most children were like this in the world, but, no one would ever say anything about it. Whenever the twins would get in trouble, he would take the blame, the twins knew this, but, they also knew that Davir was shielding them from their own parents scolding which could hurt them in the end. Davir kept a happy face most of the time in order to make himself forget his home life. Not everything is as easy as that. He stood up magically placing a note pad with a pen on Gage's nightstand next to him then leaving him a message explaining "The note pad is magic related, the pen can be used or something else can be used, but, not everyone wants to talk on the phone. I have a matching pad, so if you write to me, I'll write back, easy as that. I'm shutting my phone off for awhile" he said adding one last thing to the message "You have the audio version that only the writer on your side, well only you, can hear. So don't worry about others hearing it, that's how magic works. My dad gave it to me before he left a couple days ago. Bye"

After leaving the message he set up his room, drawing the circle, casting it, and finishing up by thanking the gods and goddesses as well as asking for assistance. "Eko Eko Azarel, Eko Eko Shadiel, Eko Eko Hecate, Eko Eko Cernunnos" he chanted to build up the magic within the circle. He wouldn't leave this circle for as long as he could last, even if he failed, he would keep trying over and over no matter what it took.

Gage slept until nearly noon, then started to go about his usual morning routine. He was usually the last in the family to wake although he wasn't the only nocturnal creature in the house. He supposed it had to do with how late he'd been staying out with Davir. Thoughts of the other boy made him nearly drop the comb he was using. No, today he was just going to pretend that things were normal. They managed to stay normal too as he went downstairs to eat.

It was only after he came back to his room, thinking about violin practice that he felt an usual presence on his nightstand. He grabbed the pad of paper in confusion, wondering how such a useless thing could have gotten into his room. When he picked it up though, a voice seemed to speak right out of it, the voice being Davir's. Gage listened curiously to the talking item then rolled his eyes. He sat down and picked up the pen to write back a quite reply.

"You have the weirdest magic items. But I don't mind talking to you like this for a bit." Then he pulled his violin out of the case and started to tune it. The act of playing such a delicate instrument always did wonders to calm his mind.

(uh the message was on his phone, but, this works too lol dont go changing it)

Davir was too busy keeping his circle going of learning a new spell which could take him awhile. For hours he was there practicing, soon he had to stop to grab something to eat, as well as sleep; after eating he laid down on his bed unable to stand up again. Then he glanced over as if wishing Gage would reply to the note. He did. Davir didn't sit up, he just rolled over to read it "Fine with me, I have things to do, contact me when you wish. Not through the phone" he literally turned his phone off as he sent the message to Gage.

Davir didn't leave the house for a couple days nor did he care to bother since he was so close to perfecting this spell of his. He was going to give Gage the best gift anyone could ever receive...a chance for something...new. Each night he would say goodnight or ask how Gage's day had went, then he would sleep, and start his cycle all over again. One morning Davir woke up only to find his sisters and adoptive parents gone as if they didn't exist, though he didn't pay any mind to it. He was too focused on this spell of his to pay any care or attention to it. At least it was more quiet in the house that's for sure.

(lol. you weren't clear!)

Gage kept in contact with Davir via the notes. Although it was hard for him to remember to check them, he did manage. It was just small talk, something easy on his mind to do when he was playing music alone in his room. Gage hadn't been going out for a fly recently and just stuck to his music. He didn't have any reasons to go out after all. After a couple days, he wrote back late in the night. "Aren't you going to tell me what you've been doing and come hang out with me again? I'm starting to miss you." It was true. Just the notes weren't enough and Gage also wanted to be close enough to feel Davir and smell him.

(haha i forgot that)

"I'm really busy right now working on something" he sent the note thinking he probably could take a break, he was doing this for Gage after all, but, he was so close. He was getting obsessed and that was starting to become a bad thing "Alright, where do you want to meet up? Graveyard or coffee shop that hardly anyone goes to at night?" he sent another message forgetting to ask when they should hang out and went to take a shower as well as get dressed, coming back he checked the note.

Nearly pouting at the page when Davir said he was busy, Gage hurriedly wrote out a reply. At least Davir had agreed to meet with him. "Coffee shop. When?" was all he wrote out. He liked the graveyard, but at some point, his family was going to get suspicious if they figured out that's where he kept going. He did think that his clothes were starting to smell like the soil there and he'd already had Maria bring clothes there once. Maybe a coffee shop would be a nice change.

Davir wrote back "How about I come pick you up in fifteen minutes or so? We can fly or take my bike or even walk" though walking would take up alot of time and he forgot to add "Tonight is going to be cold, I think next week they're talking about snow" he added once more grabbing everything he needed including his magic pad in case people were around. "I'm bringing the pad with me though, in case people are there" not many were there late at night and most didn't care about what others would say or talk about.

"I'll be waiting. I'll leave the transportation up to your choice," Gage wrote back. He really mind how they got there as long as he got out of this room. He was glad for the note about it being cold. He'd had his window tightly closed for days and now that he touched the glass pane, he realized how chilled it way. Keeping that in mind, he threw on a warm jacket over his usual attire and stuck the pad of paper and pen into the oversized pockets. He was hoping that there would be no people around because he wanted to talk with Davir normally. Then he sat back by his window and waited.

Davir showed up fifteen minutes later in a way that he wasn't planning on using until the last moment. He was so tempted to yell out 'hi' so loud to startle the boy, but, he didn't "Gage" he said waiting for the window to open as he was standing on a carpet...a flying magic carpet of a dark red and black which is a bit old since it doesn't have camouflage mode yet. He wasn't going to go all Aladdin style on Gage, but, this way was better than flying or taking his bike out in this cold weather.

Because Davir was subtle, Gage reacted to him belatedly. He pushed the window open and shivered as the cold air rushed in. It was colder than he had expected, but he was the sort who didn't mind the cold much. He looked around, trying to ascertain what was making the strange fluttering cloth in wind sound. "Are you flying?" he asked. "While wearing....a toga?" That was the best thing he could come up with, but somehow he didn't think that's what was actually going on outside of his window.

(I keep forgetting about his eyes XD)

"It's a magic carpet, come on" he held out his hand for Gage to take though he did slip his within Gage's to help out knowing where his hand would be. Once Gage would take his hand he would wrap his arms carefully around the boy's torso instead of his waist and fly off to the coffee shop he talked about which was a bit away from where they were now. Davir didn't say anything about the last night they actually saw eachother or what he had been doing lately.
