Surprise [Lucah, Romeo]

[Alyssa James]

Hesitation occurred. She stopped in front of his dorm door, wondering if she should knock or pass on. She had been thinking more about him the past couple of weeks and while he had been out with her, she supposed the club night counted, she couldn’t get a hold of herself. The last time she had seen him when, well, she was naked. She had been practicing transforming into her wolf form. Of course, she couldn’t keep it very long. The longest she ever kept it was when she had transformed the first time. It had taken her father and her brother to calm her down which ended up being about two hours. She knew that wasn’t bad as a beginner but she had been under a lot of emotional stress and the stress on her body was painful as well. Her joints had hurt afterwards, just like they hurt now. The pain usually stayed around a week or two, before finally subsiding. She chewed on her bottom lip and raised her hand.

“Am I really going to do this?” Lyssa was standing in the middle of the hallway. Lyssa was standing in front of her crush’s door, which was more than she could say for him. She thought of her father, if he knew that she finally was going to do something right instead of make-out with the first guy that paid attention to her. Her father’s lack of trust and among things was really bugging her that day. She put her head on the side of the wall, pressing her body into it when boys came running down the hallway. They all seemed so happy. She was still hesitating.

Lyssa finally brought her hand down on the door, knocking a little too loudly for her liking. She shifted from foot to foot wondering when this hell was going to end. She was about to turn away when the door opened.

[Romeo Buckland]

“Yo princess, can you get that?” yelled the Irish boy from behind the shower curtains, hands busy lathering his hair. While normally a knock on their door wouldn’t be heard once one’s inside the bathroom, Romeo has developed an odd habit of leaving the door open when he’s bathing. The door’s not wide open mind you, but just enough that he’d be able to hear what’s happening outside. Blame the series of pranks the boy and his group of friends have played on each other during the first few days of the term. They vary from target to target, but the common thing between all them has been that each victim has been attacked the moment he got out of the bathroom. Romeo’s the only one remaining in his group that hasn’t been hit yet, and the boy got a little paranoid. (His precaution did pay off; so far he’s thwarted three attempts.).

And while it’s been a month since the last attack, Romeo argues that one can never be too sure. Besides, they’re all guys in the room, seeing him naked wouldn’t be that big of an issue, would it?

A few minutes later and the boy still hasn’t heard the opening of a door. Groaning, the boy turned the knob and rinsed himself before quickly drying himself off then wrapping a towel around his waist. “Sorry to keep you waiting, Little Miss Romanian Princess was a little too prissy to open the door,” he huffed, rolling his eyes and leaning to the doorframe with one arm. A smirk quickly replaced the frown he had on his face when he saw who was at the door though. “Oh hello there Lady Werewolf. How can I be of service?”

Within seconds a haughty, self-absorbed wink has been sent to the poor girl, while his hand went to his hip, lowering the towel just slightly. Hooray subtlety.

[Alyssa James]

Alyssa stared at the well developed boy in front of her and couldn’t help but blush. He had very pretty eyes with curly hair on top of his head. His hair was wet so she guessed he had just come out of the shower, though it probably gave her a hint that he had a towel wrapped around his waist. She watched as he pushed it down and probably thought that she didn’t notice. She hated guys like this, but she was going to be nice either way. She wore a revealing red tight take top with skinny jeans that ended at her skater shoes.

She guessed the Romanian Princess was Lucah. This was his door and he was from Romania. Though, it wasn’t very nice of him to call Lucah that. She glared at him briefly before allowing her green eyes to roam the room behind him. It very much looked like a guy’s apartment. This boy came off as arrogant, and it didn’t help he had sent a wink in her direction. She put her hands behind her back and bent down a little, stretching out her arms.

“Who told you I turn into a wolf?!” she growled, glaring at him more. She didn’t like him already. He was a flirt, and arrogant and thought he had business knowing her power. She felt her body shake slightly, but this feeling passed quickly. “Is Lucah in?”

[Lucah Ivaskov]

Sulking had taken up most of Lucah's time lately. Writing lyrics to a song that still had yet to be titled and also had very little meaning. He just kept writing. It was like he was possessed or something, spending all day and most nights pent up in his room being his broody, angry self. Just like his father. Not that his father had the patience to write anything unless it was his signature on a business deal or 'peace treaty,' aka arranged marriage license. If that's what you could call it.

The classical music in his room was blasting, drowning out most of the noise from his roommates. Romeo in particular. He didn't want to know what they were saying about him or about anyone really because he just didn't care anymore. And he didn't want to know whatever the hell Romeo was doing ever. If they knocked on his door, he ignored them unless it was dire. Which was every five minutes when it came to Romeo's brain.

As one of the songs ended and another began he heard a door open and he could have sworn he heard Princess coming from Romeo's loud mouth. He reluctantly set his notebook down along with the pencil and turned off his music. Stepping out of his room with what actually seemed as normal clothing, he didn't pay much attention to who was at the door. Not until he heard the voice that had been haunting him daily since he'd been so horrible to her.

Lucah's eyes traveled up and he found a familiar body in the doorway, besides his half-naked roommate that was always half-naked it seemed. "Lyssa? What are you doing here?" He asked in a soft tone that held little to no emotion. It wasn't that he had no emotions when he saw her, he just had no intention of Romeo knowing those emotions.

[Alyssa James]

Alyssa pushed past Romeo, her bare skin brushing his. She gave an involuntary shudder. Creepy, his skin was like that of a lizard. She stared at Lucah, who probably stood his whole height, and she wanted to say sorry for the field. She couldn't remember much of it, just that they had kissed and she had transformed into her wolf form. She whirled back to Romeo, her green eyes slitted, "Never call me Lady Werewolf again," she growled before turning her attention from the naked boy.

"I just...uhm...," she muttered turning bright red. She looked away from him for a moment, looking around the room she stood in. There was music, classical, blasting from one of the doors when she had come. All of the door were somewhat closed, which gave her a glimpse into them. She turned even redder when she realized where she was standing.

"Well, your jacket, I didn't mean to morph when I was wearing it..." Oh God, that sounded so much worse! She heaved a sigh, wondering if she was ever going to through this without messing up. She remembered his kiss, it had been a couple of days.

His voice was like a barren waste land. She had just realized that. He had no emotion, he was devoid of it. Did he not like her anymore? Was the kiss a whole joke between these two boys, who seemed to like to prey on young girls. His voice was soft, there was no mocking in it, but still, it felt like something had just died within her. This boy had heard her sing, which was something she didn't do for just anyone. This boy kissed her like he meant it, which never happened.

"I'll uh leave now..." She felt like stuttering again, but took control over her voice box and turned to leave.

[Romeo Buckland]

Romeo couldn’t help but chuckle at how fast Alyssa’s mind changes. Not that he’s a telepath or anything, but the small blush she sported a while ago didn’t go unnoticed. (The Irish boy claims he’s seen a whole lot of those and thus can easily decipher what it means now). Fast forward a few minutes later and now she’s growling at him, apparently offended. Why exactly, that’s what he wants to find out.

“Oh you know, I have my sources. You want to know what else I know about you? Well let’s see,” he said, playfully tapping his chin as if he’s actually thinking, his smirk never leaving his face, “I know for a fact that you like singing with prissy Romanian princesses? Would you like me to continue?” Romeo would just like to clarify that he is in no way stalking the couple; he just has a whole lot of friends who aren’t at all averse to occasional gossip. It only takes days for a whole public school to know a certain gossip; the fact that they are in a boarding school could only make things go faster.

With his other free hand he combed his hair up, shaking his head side to side, sending a few droplets of water flying all over the place. He was just about to answer her when Lucah came out of his room, looking like his usual moody, brooding and clichéd self. “Nice of you to stop jerking off and finally grace us with your presence, my liege,” blurted the boy sarcastically, rolling his eyes and even bowing and saluting the boy.

Unfortunately for Lucah, a deadpan voice only meant that Romeo knew that something was afoot between the two. It’s a common mistake most people make, he says, thinking that by going all toneless and neutral that they’re off the hook. The Irish boy says it only makes it more obvious. “Oooh. Didn’t know you like them small and sour She-Wolf,” said Romeo as she mentioned about Lucah’s jacket, doing a rather inappropriate gesture with his pinky.

When she turned to leave, Romeo promptly closed the door and leaned back on it, crossing his arms and winking at the pair. “Why leave? You’ve only arrived here. Won’t you be interested in a little threesome? I’m sure it would help alleviate Lucah’s mood. After all, you can only enjoy so much with your hand, can you pretty boy?”

Roommate drama. And he’s got front row seats to it. This is the life.

[Lucah Ivaskov]

Lucah was trying not to let Romeo get to him. He still had yet to punch the nuisance that lived with him. After being a big part in the break up with Belle, Romeo had shot to the top of Lucah's bad list. Not that it was hard to get on the list, but getting near the top was difficult. Dimitri still held the top spot, Romeo was a very close second. Some of the things he blurted out in front of women made him wonder how he seemed to get any girls to like him at all. Or even some men. How could anyone be even remotely attracted to someone so vulgar and immature? Jezebel had a higher maturity level than Romeo.

"Yes, Romeo, because you assume that everyone is just like you when it comes to such disgusting things. It's lovely to see you half-naked yet again in our room. Why bother with the towel though? Especially with such a beautiful girl here? We wouldn't want to spoil your reputation and have someone actually believe you have manners and the dignity to keep yourself covered." Lucah said in a slightly annoyed tone. So clearly his emotionless tone wasn't helping, so why hide what he was really feeling for Romeo? Then again, if he planned on showing what he felt for Romeo, he'd have punched the boy already.

Luc turned to Alyssa and smiled, "Thank you for returning it, and don't worry about the morphing thing. It was fascinating actually seeing it happen." He had almost forgot Romeo was even there, well of course until the boy spoke. It was hard imagining such a peaceful thing when the boy's voice was just so damn annoying that it broke through every peaceful thought Lucah had. Which were slim to none.

Alyssa made her way to leave, but for once Romeo made himself useful and stopped her. Lucah reached out for her hand and took a hold of it, "I don't want you to go. Maybe we could talk, in my room? Away from the very obnoxious men that I share this hell hole with?" He suggested with a smile trying hard to ignore Romeo's comment yet again.

[Alyssa James]

Alyssa looked between the two boys, there was enough tension to fill a freakin room between them. Romeo still stood there half-naked and as much as he was hot, he was also arrogant and rude to her friend. Was Lucah her friend? Weren’t they more? They had kissed and she had shown him a more playful side in her wolf form. This boy, the half-naked one, was an ass! She hated him, she didn’t like him, she wished he wouldn’t have to board with Lucah so at least the Romanian boy would have somewhere to go without someone to make fun of him. She wanted to beat him up, not only for knowing she was a shifter, but he thought he had a right to flirt.

When Luc turned to talk to her, she paid attention to him. He had grabbed her hand, a tingle started towards her arm. He thought her morphing was interesting, even if he saw her naked and she ruined his jacket. She wanted to punch Romeo for stopping her, she gritting her teeth and followed him into his bedroom, thinking of a lot of rules she was breaking at the moment.

She let go of Lucah’s hand and stood in front of Romeo, he stood over her, but she was going to take care of that pretty face for him. She swung her hand back curled into a fist, aiming for his mouth.

Occ; Sorry it's late guys

[Romeo Buckland]

Romeo spared not one moment showing his apparent disinterest with what Lucah was saying, shaking his head, rolling his eyes and yawning repeatedly throughout his little tirade. “You done?” he asked, sticking his pinky through his ear as if cleaning it before flicking whatever it was that caught on away. (He insists that nothing really was in his finger, as his ear was clean; it’s just that it felt wrong not doing that after his little ear-gesture). “You know if you want to see my dick you just have to ask. Besides, don’t think that I don’t see you peeking through the door every time I’m in the bathroom or I’m changing in my room.”

Because everyone loves him. That Lucah’s hate for him is actually intense sexual desires repressed by the Romanian’s immense ego. Amazing the tenets he lives by, aren’t they?

He flashed Lucah an incredibly self-absorbed smile when he mentioned his roommates and was just about to go back and continue his interrupted bath time when Alyssa began walking towards him. “What’s up babe? Want to have a pea-WOAH THERE!” his eyes widened as he managed to catch the punch midway, the sudden sense of danger causing his body to involuntarily activate his powers. Which meant he had to lighten his grip on her hand for a bit so as not to risk breaking her fist. “Careful there Sunshine. We don’t want to break the merchandise, don’t we?” he asked, turning his white pupil-less eyes to Scarlett. He promptly released her hand and ran a silver finger across her cheek. “Please try not to stare. People say this form of mine is incredibly hypnotic. Wouldn’t want to force Lucah to use his hands to take care of that raging boner he has right now, don’t we?” With one final wink, he walked back to the bathroom and turned the shower on, happy that the little drama he found himself in is over.

For now.

ooc:
Guess this would be Romeo's exit? Heehee.^^.

[Alyssa James]

Alyssa was on the verge of tears and she was shaking. She had never had someone be so damn blunt to her. She was disgusted most of all. She couldn’t believe that he would do that. The spot where he had touched her cheek felt slimy. She was shaking even more, her body practically rippling from the disgust and the anger she felt. She wished he had let her punch him, that would’ve at least made her feel better.

“Who the hell was that?!” she growled, turning around to face Lucah, her green eyes shining. “What gives him the right to touch me? To treat you like that? I will kill him. I will tear him with my paws!”

Lyssa hadn’t realized she had spoken like that. She never spoke in what she called the Wolf Language. It was when she started acting like a wolf, when she was still in her human form, hence tearing Romeo open with her paws. Her body was still shaking, and she brought her arms around herself and bent down on one knee. Her hands clenched around said arms, leaving crescents in them. “Why?” she choked out. She didn’t know why she was behaving like that, but he was just so…slimy

[Lucah Ivaskov]

Lucah was used to Romeo's blunt asshole-ness. It was just part of being roommates. Yes, he hated it and yes he very much wanted to beat the hell out of Romeo everyday, but he had kept his cool for a while. However, when Romeo touched Alyssa...he should be glad that he walked away before Luc could do something about it. He liked that Alyssa wanted to defend herself against a prick like Romeo, and he would have loved seeing her hit him, but unfortunately she didn't get the chance. Lucah ground his teeth together and waited for Romeo to be gone before looking at Lyssa.

He sighed, "That was my lovely roommate. I'm sorry he said those things and acted like that. It's how he is with everyone and trust me, I hate him." Luc reached out to touch her cheek as a comforting gesture, but didn't. She was too angry and he didn't want her to be mad at him too. He frowned as she continued. Romeo sure did have an affect on people. Just not a good one.

"I don't know why, but he's gone and he won't be back. He's said all he wants and now he should leave us alone. I'm really sorry about that, if I'd known you were coming I would have warned you," He said apologetically looking at her with a half furious, half upset look on his face. He hated Romeo a lot more now. How dare he act like that in front of her...

[Alyssa James]

Lyssa stood up, stumbing back into the door. “I…I…Lucah, I can’t.” Her hand frantically found the door knob which slipped from her hand and she had to get a grip on it for a second time. The door opened up to the hallway and she ran down the length of it. Romeo really did something to her that she didn’t like. She growled for boys to get out of her way, recognizing the changes of her morphing. She ran out into the air, taking deep breaths. It helped her to control the rippling in her skin, but did nothing for her tears.

Oh god, why was she acting like this? She sat down on the ground, breathing deeply and trying to control her crying. She didn’t understand why Romeo had that kind of effect on people, but it seemed unlikely that he would affect people like he had affected her. She gave a small growl, and leaned again the tree she had taken protection under.

She felt sorry for Lucah. She ran out on him before they had a chance to talk and she wasn’t sure if he was going to chase her or something. Isn’t that what happened during the movies? The girl gets scared of one of his friends and he chases after her and everything is better? Well, too bad this wasn’t the movies. She gave a small sigh, her green eyes shiny from crying. She looked towards the dorm door, watching for either, Romeo or Lucah. She wanted to peer into his blue depths and have herself feel better. She wanted to run her hands through his black hair and she wanted to kiss him most of all. She wanted to kiss him, to forget Romeo's disgusting power (armor really?!) and forget where she was. Her green eyes traveled to the sky and she watched that instead of the door. The clouds were more interesting anyway.

[Lucah Ivaskov]

Lucah cussed as she ran out. He ran his fingers through his hair debating on whether he should follow her or if he should just let her go. If she was that upset, she couldn't possibly want him to comfort her. He was the farthest thing from a comforting guy. He was cold, not warm. He had no calming words or soothing gestures. Well, okay, he did, but he wasn't used to using them on anyone besides Jezebel. And this was different.

But he'd let her go once before, and he regretted it after. He wasn't about to let that happen again. It was partially his fault she'd had to deal with Romeo, and he was going to make sure she was okay. The guilt would eat at him if he didn't follow her. So what'd he do? He ran out of his room, pushed the door out of his way and went down the hallway. A few guys flipped him off as he made his way through them, trying to catch up to her before she could get too far.

He made it outside and found her sitting under a tree curled up and crying. Instantly, he slowed his pace and approached her as if she were a wounded animal. He didn't want to scare her or make her run from him again. She looked miserable and he felt responsible. Why did Romeo have to ruin everyone's life? Or was it just people he knew and liked? No, Luc was pretty sure it was everyone's life.

Lucah finally made his way to her and knelt down beside her, sitting on the grass with his knees pulled up to his chest. He looked at his hands and sighed lightly, "Look, I know you don't really need me to tell you this or do anything for you, but Romeo is a dick and he thrives on making people uncomfortable. And if it'll make you feel better, I'll go kick his ass right now."
