Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kieran saw Tsuki enter the room, and he gave a wave. "Hey you! Finished your icecream?"

"Yeah... sometimes the sundae can do that to people," Kieran laughed. "Want me to get you something for your stomach?"

"Silly thing - it's good to know your limits though. I'll just pop into the kitchen and see if I can find something." Kieran assured the moon uke, heading into said area. He blinked when he saw a familiar uke, and then he grinned, "Milo? Is that you?"

The winged uke paused when he heard his name, turning to face Kieran. " Yeah its me..." He smiled weakly, fiddlign with the edge of his shirt. He'd thought everyone would have forgotten all about him by now. "How are you?" Milo asked softly.

"Oh, I'm great! What about you though? I haven't seen you in forever!"

"I'm..... okay I suppose...." he smiled lightly, shifting from foot to foot. " I traveled around and that kind of thing" the uke replied in soft tones. He turned his amber eyes towards the door when he heard it open.

While striding leasurely into the living room, Lysander paused for moment to observe the area. His wings fluttered restlessly while, by contrast, his hands rested lazily in his pockets. He hadn't returned to this place in so long, but... the house hadn't changed much, really.

However, something on the couch managed to catch his eye - enough so that he felt the need to investigate. Moving to lean over the back of it, he spyed fully the deer creature that lay there.

"Actually, the name's Lysander."

"Well, I'm glad you're doing well," Kieran said cheerfully, though he could see there was something upsetting the Venus uke. "I just came to look for some stomach medecine for Tsuki - he ate a little too much icecream."

Lysander gave a mildly confused look at first, not sure what the new-to-him shounen was trying to communicate. It all became clear by the pale deer's last statement, though, and he merely chuckled it off with a warm smile.

"So far it sounds like you're doing well. It's a pleasure to meet you, Tsuki," he finished, extending a hand outward in a traditional handshake manner.

"Oh my," Lysander said with concern. "At least it wasn't my company that turned you ill, heh." He put a hand to Tsuki's forhead in an attempt to test for a fever. "Is anyone bringing your something for that?"

The uke put what he had found into the bowel as well and turned to the other with a small smile. " I think thats enough" he smiled and tucked some loose hair behind his ear. It had been far to long since he'd been here, he did have some people who knew of him and had noticed he was missing.

"Alright then - back to Tsuki we go," Kieran replied cheerfully, scooping up the bowl and expecting Milo to follow him. He knocked open the kitchen door with his hip, proudly holding the bowl on hi, "Tsuki-chaaaaaaaan~ I've brought some medication for you! ... I didn't know which one you'd want though, so I probably brought too much."

THAT'S when the Pluto seme noticed the new seme - a winged horse, if his guess was right, and lowering the bowl to a respecable level, he grinned. "Who's this charming fellow?"

Lysander nodded to Tsuki with a warm smile, "Good. I'd hate to think they left a delicate bit like you to waste away."

His attention was pulled away from his new friend when another -- make that two, other shounen appeared in the room from the kitchen. He gave a light wave to them in acknowledgment, "Hello there - I'm called Lysander."

Tucking a bit of hair behind his ears, Kieran gave a slight twitch of his scorpian's tail as he gently set the huge bowl of medecine near Tsuki. "Kieran, over here. You'll probably get tired of seeing my face, I'm sure."

"Well, not ALL of it! Just what you think you need."

The pegasus shounen laughed lightly at the exchange before being able to respond, "It's nice to meet you both. I take it you're the one who gave him all of the ice cream?" he motioned to Kieran. "And you," he regarded over to Milo, "Have very lovely wings, if I may say so."

Kieran couldn't help but smirk at Lysander, his ruby eyes twinkling with their usual mischief. "Guilty as charged, I'm afraid, but I always clean up after my messes."

Watching Tsuki fumble through the bottles, the Pluto seme seemed to realize suddenly. "Oh jeez, I'm sorry, Tsuki - you can't possibly read what all of those say, can you?" Fishing out a botle or two, Kieran began to scan the directions. "Don't take -anything- unless I or Milo or Lysander, if I may ask for your help, has read them to you. All we need is for you to get accidentally poisoned."

"And what is so beautiful outside that we're staring at today, Tsuki-chan?" Kieran asked cheerfully, appearing from his bedroom to lean against the wall.

Raising a slim eyebrow, the Pluto seme walked over to stand by the deer Shounen. "Nothing? You're busily staring at nothing? Why, it just so happens that 'nothing' is one of my favorite things, so I think I'll join you."

Sliding next to Tsuki, Kieran asked, "Is there something wrong, Tsuki-chan? You look a bit flustered."

Kieran gave a soft smile, knowing that Tsuki couldn't see it. "Lysander is quite a charmer, I'll agree. I'm glad he wasn't around when I was single - I NEVER would have managed to get an uke! But, you're right, he's got a nice personality to go with that nice bod of his. I like him - seems good friend material."

Kieran gently slid an arm about the moon uke's shoulders, dropping the playful attitude he almost always wore to show his serious side. "Tsuki... is it because... of my relationship with Seki?"

The Pluto seme had always known that Tsuki had been attracted to Seki; he remembered, long ago, when he thought the two of them were going to end up as a mated pair. That was a dream he had shattered when he had admitted to himself that he loved the J-rock Shounen, and the resulting effects on Tsuki was something that Kieran had never forgiven himself for. Tsuki... I'm so sorry. Hopefully I can help you now instead of doing further harm.

Pulling Tsuki into a hug, Kieran provided the cliched shoulder to cry on, should the Moon uke need it. "It's not betrayal, Tsuki-chan, it's not. It's moving on. It's good. It's natural. I think I can speak of Seki, for both of us, when I say that we both want you to be happy. All of the love you have inside of you, all of the kindness... wouldn't it be a waste to hold it in, worried that you would harm someone who has already found their love? You'll never make yourself happy that way, Tsuki-chan. Never."

"Aren't you just the nanny of all trades?" Lysander jested. Mere moments later, he found his attention was tugged away by a tint of gold disappearing under the couch. "Curious."

His senses now heightened to a possible unknown intruder, he managed to notice the moon deer enter. "Hn. I'm sure Kieran can handle whatever it was anyway." The pegasus shounen turned towards Tsuki and fluffed his wings lightly. "Ah! There you are. I was just wondering where you had gotten to."

"Someone had to be; no one else seemed overly eager to help out," Kieran snorted good naturedly, rising to his feet. Seeing that Aiden was doing well, he resolved not to worry anymore. When he turned and saw Tsuki, it reminded him of something he had been meaning to do' have a talk with Lysander.

Tapping the Pegasus on the shoulder with the blunt side of his tail blade, he asked, "Lysander... can we step outside to talk about something?"

"No need for such formalities around me, Tsuki," Lysander stated with a smile, bending over the other pale shounen. "Though, I must say I'm flattered."

Feeling a slight pressure on his shoulder, he turned and saw Kieran was now standing next to him. Upon hearing his request, he replied "Sure, I suppose so." Lysander bent over back to Tsuki quickly. "If you'll excuse me for a moment?"

The golden uke walke dout of his room, seeming to have no set direction on where he would like to go. Amber eyes were not paying much attention as he walked, not bothering with such details. The bird wasn't in the mood for such things. Sighing to himself he sat down on the couch and draped his wings on the side ackwardly, the feathery wings sprained. :laying on his stomach, he close dhis eyes and let the wings rest partly on the floor.

Being unattentive at the current time, he didnt notice the snake uke slither his way over to him. HIs wings twitched slightly in pain, keeping them in their ackward position to keep some of the pain away. Milo let an arm drop to the floor, running lazy patterns on the plush carpet.

Milo's amber eyes snapped open at the sound of the others voice, looking down at the other on the floor. "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you down there" He lifted up h is arm to rest his chin on it. Locks of orange star kissed hair fell around his face as he looked down at him. " I am Milo" He introduced himself with a light smile.

"Nice to meet you as well" He replied, eyeing the others fangs for a moment. HIs glance then turned back to the other, frowning slightly at his question. A soft sigh escaped him as he looked over at his wings. " Just naturally accident prone I would have to say..." Milo spoke almost bitterly, " I fell yesterday in the kitchen and landed on them in an ackward position"

The bird giggled softly at the pillow comment, finding the very idea of himself walking around with pillows attactched to himself funny. He could almost picture himself trying to fly like that. However, at the snakes last comment, a tinge of pink ran across his cheeks. " I dont know... the helmet would probably be an improvement..."

A bright shade of red flooded his features as he listened to the others words. He had never been told such flattering things ever in his life. It was hard for the little bird to think any of this is true, he had always thought of himself as average, nothing special. " .. "wrap your tail around mine' " He quoted softly to himself, unsure on what he meant by that. Milo meekly looked over at the snake uke, his amber eyes partly cloaked by his hair. "G-georgious?.... I .. I don't think so... this time you could be wrong..." The venus uke said, attempting to get up, but it his wings protested with sharp pains. Whimpering softly, he flopped back down on his stomach in defeat.

Milo walked out from the hallway and into the livingroom with a manga in his hand. Brushing back a lock of orange hair, he spotted Damalis in the far corner. Smiling softly, he walked over to him and stopped just in front of him. " Hi.." He smiled softly.

"I'm good, what are you reading may I ask?" He smiled softly, watching the other uke glide over. Milo had noticed the glasses but didnt say anything, guessing perhaps the other didnt want to be seen in them.

The winged uke flushed slightly fromt he others comment, shifting from foot to foot with a small smile. He was about to reply when Aiden came up to the two of them. He turned his golden amber eyes on him and smiled gently at him. " HI Aiden, I'm Milo"

"Party games?" He questioned, flushed pink still on his cheeks as he spoke, looking at the other. " Board games are always fun?" Milo suggested, not knowing many games. He was never really in situations like this where there were lots of people hanging out.

Milo nodded and went to help the snake uke in his search for a board game. "Find anything?" He asked, peeking over the others shoulder meekly.

Ishida sighed as he moved to head into the front door, hoping in a way that no one would be around. He'd been avoiding the place, even resorting to sleeping in the park a few times. He knew that things had been talked over a bit with Milo, but he still felt a bit awkward, plus his customers had gotten around to bothering him a lot more lately.

Milo nodded and went to look into the other cupboard, hair falling over his eyes for a moment. When the snake uke moved away and talk to another, he turned to see who it was. The golden bird seemed to freeze when his amber eyes fell upon who was standing before him. It was the very seme who had been in his thoughts since they had parted last, Ishida. HIs lip seemed to quiver slightly as his eyes shook with an until emotion, he hadn't properly perpaired himself on how to react when he saw the seme. "I-Ishi?" He managed to say softly.

He gave a nod and a small two fingered wave to acknowledge Kieran's entrence, then replied to the j-rock shounen. "I've only met a few people, myself. I'm sure there are more hiding around," Lysander said, picking his head up and calling off some of his playfulness now that the other seme was around.

His nose twitched again, this time honing in on the strengthening scent. "... This might be an odd question, but is there Coke nearby?"

Kieran held up his own glass. "There's coke in here as well - coke floats are one of my specialities."

If the scorpian seme had been the jealousy type, he would probably be slightly twitching by now, but all in all the laid back seme was just glad to see his lover and the nice Lysander hitting it off well. He had no reason to worry about Seki's faithfulness and knew it, so he did not have any reason to be upset.

Lysander's eyes lit up in a very uncharacteristic manner and a wide grin took over his face. "Could I? I would hate to take the treat Kieran made for you." While in all truth he wanted to pounce upon it -- his ears and eyes were intent on the glass.

Kieran gave a shrug. "If Seki wants you to have some, it's no skin off my back. Or, you can have some of mine if you like. It's untouched, as of now."

Tsuki notices Kieran there too and his mind was whirling... *Maybe things are ok... Lysander is just hanging out with them... but what if he is like Seki... if he was not into boys like me.* He took a step back, almost turning away before he was seen when he suddenly decided how foolish he was being. *Kieran-sama must be right, he might be finding out if Lysander-sama is interested in me.* With that cheering though, the moon uke's mood rose slightly but a lingering doubt plagued.

"I'm sure it must be," he said, taking the glass. "...With coke in it! Glorious coke!" Unconsciously Lysander downed the rest of the float, wiping the excess ice cream off his lip with his thumb and then licking it off. A small burp afterwards reminded him of himself. "Ah... I'm sorry," he grinned sheepishly, looking into the now empty glass. "I get a little excitable around... certain things."

The scorpian seme flashed a wink to the golden snake uke that he had seen at least once before, although they had never been formally introduced. "He must've wanted to keep it a secret from me - not a very nice thing to do with your life partner, is it?"

Kneeling beside the J-rock Shounen, Kieran carefully began to cut the yarn, bit by bit, with the sharp part of his tail, trying to help him untangle himself without too much embarassment. "At least you were having fun, darling?"

Finally succeding in freeing his mate, Kieran offered his hands to help the feline back to his feet. "You should be a bit more careful, love. I'd hate to have thought of you tied up and helpless without anyone around."

Turning his sharp red eyes to the Medusa, the seme smiled. "Oh, pardon... I'm Kieran. I don't believe we've met before now, though I think I've seen wandering about."

Kieran was beginning to become concerned for Seki, who was always eager to speak with him. The deep purring that he had first assumed was a sign of affection was apparently something more, since the feline had not stopped doing it.

Reaching over for one of the J-rock Shounen's hands, the seme asked, "Seki? Is something wrong?"

Kieran sat upon one of the chouches in the main living area, flipping channels on the television. For some reason, nothing seemed to catch his interest, although he was intent in finding SOMETHING.

His tail flicked a bit from side to side as he concentrated, both of his bright red eyes focused straight ahead of him. Finally, after much debate, he left it on Food Network and watched a show about the history of ice cream.

Kieran did not seem to notice his "guest", as he peered anxiously at the making of his favorite foodstuff. There were so many interesting things to know! The differences between regular ice creams and gelatos, being introduced to sorbets and sherberts, and seeing the world's LARGEST chocolate sundae! Yes, this was certainly his kind of show.

Kieran greeted Milo with an easy smile, giving a wave, "Hey there! You look much happier!"

When he felt those two arms wrap around him, to say that he was surprised was an understandment. He nearly freaked, and the cool scales along his chest did not make the situation much better. His tail had been about to strike when he recognized the hissing tone of Damalis, but he lowered the tail and tried to slow his rapidly beating heart as he asked, "D-damalis? What on earth are you doing back there?"

The scorpian seme could not help but shudder a bit, not liking the personal invasion by Damalis at all, but he replied, trying to remain in his normal joking mood. "Likes being pounced? Whoever has been spreading you these lies! I am -much- more the type to pounce~"

"Ah. I see you're a bit confused," Kieran replied, trying to ignore the feel of the uke wrapped around him. "I am the more dominant of the two of us - Seki is the "uke", if you will."

Upon hearing some startled murmering from the other room, Lysander looked up from his fridge-dig (intent on finding a lone coke someone missed, no doubt). "Ah. I wonder who that could be." He looked back to the fridge momentarily before shutting it behind him. "I don't need more caffine, anyway. Might lose my figure."

The pegasus paused soon after entering the living room and gave an odd look at the golden snake and his 'prey'.

"Oi~ I thought you said you were -seme-? Or are you just into that kind of thing?" Lysander smirked, then gave a quick wink to Milo.

Flashing his crimson eyes to the other seme, Kieran gave a grin, as if to irgnore the uncomfortable position he found himself in. "Apparently I'm losing my touch, Lysander - first you and now Damalis! Before long, everyone will forget that I'm seme. If that happens... mind if I shack up with you for a while? Maybe I'll be able to regain what I've lost!"

And, although his manner was as light and pleasent as ever, a worm of self-doubt had begun to gnaw it's way into the scorpian's heart.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Kieran answered the snake uke, "Yes, but as I said before - Seki was not himself that day. Under normal circumstances, he would never have done so. I apologize for any confusion; not that we're not a confusing pair WITHOUT that ever happening."

"Only if what you've lost is your ability to -be- uke, Kieran," he said with a snap. Most of his pomp and circumstance melted away quickly, however.

Upon watching Damalis uncoil from Kieran, Lysander found himself a bit unnerved -- the ever wiggling hair didn't help much, either. Unconsciously, he let out a slight nicker/eep and found his feathers to be on end. Darting his eyes away, he found a more comforting sight: Tsuki.

"Ah... My name is Lysander. It's nice to meet you -- I'm very sorry, but perhaps we may talk later? I see a... friend," nodding while trying to keep his nervousness down, he pointed towards Tsuki. It's not that he wanted to be rude or anything.

"Smooth, Lysander. Smooth," he chided himself while walking over to more closely greet Tsuki.
