Fresh Blood More or Less [Open]

[Mia Bell]

Mia sighed “Of course you matter.” She said gently; he might have be a pain in the ass but he still mattered. What? He didn’t think a girl could hold her own? He really did think of people as stereotypes… Well wouldn’t she prove him wrong, in so many ways. “Doll face?” Now that was something else she rather not be called. “Yes, I do. Have a problem with that?”

She didn’t care if she was irritating him, maybe something she said would get through his thick head that way. She was stronger than she looked. “And what if I don’t want to leave? Are you going to kick me out?” She would like to see him try. Truth be told, he wasn’t the only one with a dangerous power. Mia took a few steps back; returning to leaning against the doorframe. Thunder could be heard as she drew her hand into a tight fist. He was slowly starting to get on her nerves also. “And you are not the decider of my life choices, so that is why I am warning you to not tell me what is right and what is wrong. Just like that’s your choice to decide for yourself it is also mine to decide for myself.” She sighed “But you might learn a thing or two from other people if you would just give them a chance.”

Mia shook her head, he obviously didn’t it. “I believe everyone deserves a chance. Even if one person is everything I despise on the outside. I believe there is so much more to a person than what is on the outside. So yes, I believe there is more to you than the judgmental, hypocritical, bastard you are on the outside. I also believe there is a reason for you to be that way. And I’m probably one of the few people you will ever meet who is willing to look past it and get to know you better. Even if we both don’t like it.” Unless he did something that really pissed her off, like steel her notebook, read it and then call her pathetic; like a certain redhead had.

Mia pouted “Well there’s nothing fun about that..” She crossed her arms over her chest. “I love the snow.” She said softly, loving the resent weather at Hammel. The Winter was her favorite time of the year. “Orchestra, huh? We might actually have something common, who knew.” She grumbled the last part.

"Tch. " he stated in response to her telling him that he mattered. Leiken smirked slightly, "Yeah. Doll face." Leiken shrugged, "I hardly care. I just find it amusing." Though he was more so just irritated over her speaking to him the way that she had.

Leiken shrugged slightly, "Don't leave then. It's your life you're risking not mine. " He stated plainly as he took a clean shirt from within the box he'd just opened. One of his warmer shirts made of a cotton fiber and dyed an assortment of colors that resembled spray paint over the front of the shirt. he unbuttoned the shirt he wore currently. Shrugging it off and dropping it on the box as he dug for a clean set of pants. "Warning me? Tch. how cute." he stated in a dry tone. "That is impossible." he assured her.

"your beliefs do not matter to me and you are wrong. Plenty have said those exact words." he turned his gaze toward her briefly then as he pulled a pair of jeans from the box. His favorite pair in particular. Unfastening the slacks he wore currently though he paused in removing them to respond to the woman. "I have been to enough funerals to last me a life time. Just do us both a favor and stop trying to 'get me.' " he stated brushing a hand through his hair as he stood shirtless there. The other hand holding up his unfastened pants.

"The snow is alright, but i prefer the spring when the temperature is even. It makes me have to work less. " he stated plainly. "yes. I like more instrumental music. Surprising? " he stated before dropping his pants. standing for a moment in his boxers as he dug through his bag. Old scars traced areas of his body, but mostly upon his arms and legs. Though the ones on his arms were faded due to make-up covering their discolored gashes.

Mia frowned, she was sad to see the boy didn’t think he mattered; well he mattered to her and she was going to show him, no matter how hard it was. “And how do you find that amusing?” He really did need to get out more if he really wasn’t used to a girl saying one bad word and he might as well get used to her talking that way to him. She wasn’t some girl who was going to let this guy intimidate her. No, she was stronger than that.

“It is my life. That means I can do whatever the hell I want with it.” She would do almost anything for other people; she always had this dying need to help everyone she could. And not just for a self satisfaction but because she knew what it was like to feel so much pain and how it felt to be so lonely and she never wanted others to feel that way. If there was a way she could take everyone else’s pain, and sorrow she would do it even if it meant her having to take those feelings, she would do it if it meant everyone in the world would be happy.

Mia raised an eyebrow; for someone who seemed scared to let people in sure was pretty opened if he was just going to undress in front of her. Did he really not care about any of this? More thunder could be heard “Don’t you dare underestimate me. You’ll regret it.” She could hold her own, she was not scared of blood or pain or even of dying. There really was nothing he could do to her that would be worse than what she had already done to herself. She sighed “We’ll see if it really is impossible.” She wasn’t going to give up, no, she will never give up no matter what he said to her.

“There’s a difference between people saying it, and actually doing it. Which is what I meant; I will stick to my word. If you don’t believe than I can understand that. But I’ll prove you wrong; it will just take time.” He really was going to undress in front of her. She rolled her eyes; she didn’t care nor was she embarrassed by it. It wasn’t like she was twelve though she wasn’t a slut she just didn’t care. “You think you’re the only one that has been through tough times? You really are a self absorbed ass. You can say you don’t care about others as much as you want. That doesn’t change anything. I have also been to one too many funerals.” Alright so she had only been to one, but it was for three people. Three people she would give anything to have back. She even tried to take her own life just for the chance to see them again. Though she didn’t get the connection to the funeral thing and what they were talking about, it was quite weird.

“Work less?” What did he mean by that? This boy really was on the weird side. If he didn’t want anyone to know about his power he should really choose his words better. “Just a little. Do you play an instrument?” Wanting to know more about him, she just hoped none of these questions were ‘too nosy’, not that she would care anyways. Mia looked at the scars, were they self-inflicted? She didn’t think it would be the best time to ask; he did like his privacy after all. Her eyes turned softer as she looked at Lei’s face. What had he gone through?

"Perhaps I am just easily amused. " he stated to her. There was no reason for him to explain himself. At least in his mind and he wasn't about to spend so much effort trying to do so when the girl would be in and out of his life as quickly as anyone else. It was more or less routine for him at that point.

"Do what you want then as long as it doesn't involve me. I don't wish to be caught up in any petty games." he stated brushing a hand through the dark strands of his hair as often he did to move it out of his face and to relieve small amounts of stress. Yes, he enjoyed having his hair stroked, it was something that soothed him. Though without anyone to do so for him he'd developed a habit of doing such himself.

The thunder outside seemed to confuse him, the sound was awkward for the weather they'd been having, or at least he thought so. A brow raised slightly to her words however, "Tch. I would be careful with my words if i were you. You never know what they may cause." he stated. He leaned toward her somewhat, nearing her face closer, "Hah." he stated in a mocking fashion before leaning back to stand straight again. Leiken's body did not matter to him much. He'd been through enough to know how to play his cards.

Lei rolled his eyes somewhat to her words, obviously not believing them, "I've heard that a million times before." he noted "I never said i was the only one. I just don't care about anyone else." he stated as he picked up his change of pants. pulling them on as he spoke to her, "Yeah? I'm sure many people have been to funerals, but i do not give a damn about them. That may be what I am, but it's to your own best interest you stay away from me." he stated as he fastened those jeans once they were pulled up.

"If i'm such a bother to you why are you still here? Is your life that uneventful?" He questioned picking up his shirt and tugging it on. Popping his head through the fabric like a turtle coming out of it's shell. Then smoothing the fabric down with his hands. "i am not likeable in any sense of the word and yet you're determined to pester me. Why?" he questioned the girl.

"I play piano." he stated to her with a heavy sigh of defeat. What was with this girl? couldn't she take a hint? It wasn't like he was being charming or nice to her. He rolled his sleeve down his arm upon noticing her eyes staring at them. He hoped she would not ask about it but the look in his eyes said that it was not something he was proud of.

“Petty games? Who says I’m playing a game? Believe me, I’m so fed up with the games of life.” If he thought what she was doing was all a game, he was wrong. She also ran a hand through her pink hair, but out of frustration.

“I can say the same for you.” She glared at him when he moved closer “Mock me all you want. But it won’t change a thing. You don’t know me.”

“Well I guess I’m just going to have to prove you wrong.” She grinned at him and sent him a wink. She stuck around this long; shouldn’t that at least say something? Mia sighed “And that’s why you’re self-absorbed. But the point is, that someone has or is going through something similar as you. But it still seems like you think you’re alone in this world.” But he wasn’t, and she was going to prove that. “It’s my life, I can do whatever I want with it and only I can say what is for my best interest. But truth be told, it’s not me that I care about.” It was him, and everyone else that she truly cared about. Sooner or later, he will see that.

“Because even though you’re a pain in the ass, I still care about you. Besides, I have something to prove to you and I will never stop trying to prove it.” No, her life wasn’t uneventful. “No my life is very eventful. I have a part time job at the local theater, my Uncle’s music store I help him run, guitar lessons, French lessons, classes and much more. My social life is anything but uneventful.” For the past couple months her social life had been very stressful for her. But the only reason why she was still standing in his dorm room was because she truly did care about him. “I already told you why.”

Mia took off her necklace and walked over toward Lei after he finished getting dressed. “Awesome that means we might see each other in the auditorium!” Once she was near Lei she took his hand and placed the necklace in his hand, moving his fingers to curl around it. "I made this. I want you to have it." She looked at him then stood on her tippy toes to kiss his cheek; it was a friendly gesture. He would have to get used to it. “I’m not like everyone else.”

Mia backed away from Lei and slowly let go of his hand. She moved to walk toward the door; thinking this would be the best time to leave him alone. It would be extremely awkward if she lingered anymore. “See ya around!” because they will see each other again, Mia will make sure of it.

[Leiken Chu]

"Oh?" He questioned though that was the only manner in which he did so. If she didn't want to explain further he wouldn't force her and he definitely wouldn't ask her anything further on the matter of his own will. "Nor do you know me. So do not underestimate me either."


"And you do not know me. So do not pretend to." he stated as he shook his head. "Do what you want. I don't care. My opinions will not change." he stated in an as-a-matter-of-fact manner. "Whether i think that or not it's none of your business." he stated firmly to her. "Do not bullshit me about caring about me, you don't even know me, and it's childish remarks like that which make it easier for me to know I am right." he stated as he ran his fingers to the back of his own neck. Rubbing there somewhat.

Though he recoiled somewhat when the girl approached him, touching his hand to place the necklace there, he drew his hand away as quickly as he could. "Stupid..." he spat the word out at her defensively. he looked to his recoiled hand. To the necklace in it and he nearly smiled at the words written upon it. Though he suppressed the urge. "Why?" he stated though as she kissed his cheek he jolted back a bit. "STOP doing that." he stated firmly. "you're going to get yourself killed doing things like that to people." he warned her.

Though he watched her as she left with a look of confusion written upon his features, "yeah..see ya.." what was with this girl?
