Tadori tsukeru kimi ga shinjiru nara (Orion)

[Orion Urswick]

Orion continued to nod along to what Lei was saying, although he couldn't really relate at this point as much. His relationship with Sophie had started out much, much different. "Sounds like a great relationship to have," he agreed with a nod. He was glad Lei was making these friendships - he was beginning to sound happier already. "Have some faith," he smiled. Things would get better.

"I'll let Estelle - er, Ms. Knight know that you might be interested in getting some help, then," he replied with a little more cheeriness than perhaps necessary. "She'll get you a job in no time."

Orion laughed at him again. "I'd like to see you try~!" he said back in a sing-songy voice. He didn't think the boy could get back at him in the same way. But it could be funny to see him try. "Yeah, I don't see why they would complain," he mused. "You might draw in customers with your beautiful music," he added, only partially teasing.

He nodded as Lei said he would need to talk to Vincent himself; he would see whether or not he really felt the want to learn the instrument again. He was happy just to hear Lei play something much more beautiful than he probably would ever be able to play. "I'm sure you will," he replied gently. "I have no doubt." At least Hammel had a piano he could play as well - but he knew it wasn't the same, either.

After messing around for a while longer, Orion checked his watch again. It was getting pretty late by then. "I think it's about time I take you back to Hammel," he told Lei, sticking his hand back in his pocket. "But I'm glad we got to spend this time together. I had a lot of fun." He smiled broadly.

[Leiken Chu]

Leiken smiled rather happily for the moment, "If i don't have hope then there can't be anything beyond this. " Scratching his head a bit.

"Estelle?" he grinned slightly. "ohh you're on a first name basis? Is she your girlfriend~~~? Do you like her~~~~?" he cooed out in a sing-song tone teasing the man right back for his earlier teasing. "I hope so. I would like that alot." he noted.

"You just wait ! " he stated with a laugh. "I will." he stated with an impish grin. Though that grin faded to a look of embarrassment. "You're flattering me, Stargazer. " he added with a huf fof a breath.

leiken didn't really want the night to end, but he knew it had to. At least he'd confirmed an escort for his trip. Someone that he trusted, someone that he could feel safe with, someone he knew wouldn't try to take advantage of their time alone or break his heart. Orion was very trusted to him so having him agree made him very happy. "I'm glad too. I had alot of fun and i'm feeling better too. Thank you for this. I mean it. It really does mean alot. " He stated before walking toward the exit.

Walking with him back out toward the car, " Do you think I could become a good person like you when i'm older?" he questioned Orion as they walked.

[Orion Urswick]

Oh, bullocks. Orion shouldn't have switched names like that. "Whoa, now, don't you go making assum- she's my coworker - we get on each others' nerves all the time - you wouldn't understand," he stammered, obviously flustered. Even HE wasn't quite sure how he felt about Estelle, and the boy's teasing didn't help matters. "Now you behave, or I'll forget to mention her helping you on your job application the next time I see her in the staff room," he told Lei with a mock glare.

"It's not flattering if it's true!" he replied cheerfully.

Orion was definitely looking forward to the trip; he just hoped it would go as smoothly as possible. "I'm happy to hear that," he grinned. It was kind of weird, having someone to spend time with again, especially someone so much younger than him. But a good kind of weird. "Anytime," he replied, smiling. "I'm just glad that I can make your days a little brighter."

He unlocked the car once more, shooting Lei a look at the question. "Oh, Lei," he chuckled. "I think you could be a wonderful person when you're older. I think you'll be a good person while you're still young."

[Leiken Chu]

Leiken grinned slightly, "oh ho! It does sound like stargazer has a crush himself. " Leiken noted with a grin. Unable to help how strongly the man's accent reached his ears when he was like that. "Ach! That's unfair ! " he stated with a laugh. Grinning up to him. Lei had a bit of an impish smile upon his ips. As if he was plotting something devious. Though it faded as the other man complimented his playing

That embarrassed sound escaped his lips again as he kicked at the ground slightly, "tch.. Thank you. I'm glad that you think so." hemurmured gently.

"A little? You made my day alot brighter you know. You seem to do that alot. It's wierd really. I'm not used to having friends or anyone i can hang out with. I had been so used to not spending time with other peple that I forgot how much fun it could be even when it is completely innocent. " he mentioend with a smile.

Lei made a small noise to those words. he drew a hand to his lips as he covered his mouth with the side of his hand for a moment. He slid into the car's seat, waiting for the other man to get in as well, giving a happy sound. "Thank you Stargazer. It really means alot to hear you say that. " he mentioned lowering his hand a bit.

Lei would lean toward the window so he could look at the stars as they drove, however, on the way back he'd dozed off in the seat. He was exhausted, both emotionally and physically. He barely even remembered the fact he was riding in car as he fell into as light sleep.
