You're So Intoxicating ((Private for OpheliaSage))

‘What’s wrong with me? Sure he’s attractive, and charming… But that doesn’t mean I have to act like this. Why can’t I just stay calm? This is how I always got into relationships, and how I always got into problems.’ He thought and sighed taking a drink and looking out the window over the rim. It was odd. It was so cold outside yet it still looked rather nice. He sits his cup down and grabbed his muffin. ‘Looks can be deceiving.’ He thought with a slight frown. ‘And I need to stop giving into them.’ She thought tearing a piece off and taking a bite. He blinked and looked up to Drake when he spoke again. Swallowing he shrugged. “I’ve never liked Carrot Cake much.” He said tilting his head. He did like sweets but some he just couldn’t stand. He tore a few more pieces eating the muffin slowly while thinking. He did have a lot of work to do when he got home. He also would have to start something for dinner, or maybe take out. He did like that Chinese Restaurant.

He blinked looking up in shock at Drake’s words. He froze with his next bite near his mouth and looked at Drake blinking a few times. “A…after hour tour?” he muttered. In his mind there were so many things wrong with that sentence. But Drake had been nothing but kind. And he did miss that art gallery. He hadn’t been able to see the newest attractions or anything. Also it would be fine as long as he got home with enough time to finish his studies. He shook his head and finished his bite. He glanced at the clock on the wall. “I guess we could… Though I do have a lot of class work to do…” He said trailing off.

[Sorry its so bad. My brain just died. And I didn't notice that you had posted.]]

BrokenDreams

Drake nearly laughed when he saw the realization dawn on the other male and watched as his cheeks flushed in embarrasment. He guessed that Hisoka wasn't one to worry about such things as whether someone liked him because he was cute or not. Drake withdrew his hand and folded them in front of him again with a small quirky smile in the others direction. He saw the color rise in his cheeks even more when he realized that Drake was staring at him and Drake raised and eyebrow when Hisoka looked away nervously. Before the situation could develop any more the nice waitress showed up and set their orders in front of them with a smile and promised to get them whatever they needed before giggling and running off to her friends once again.

Drake picked up his cup and took a calming drink, his electric blue orbs slid shut as calm washed over him. Something about feeling the warmth of the coffee inside of him made him feel a little more normal. He wasn't deluded into thinking that he was normal because he wasn't, too many things had made him what he was, cruel, cold, and demented. He opened his eyes again and took a small forkful of the carrot cake "this place has the best carrot cake I've ever tasted" he said grinning before laying his fork down. "You know I was thinking, you said you haven't been to a gallery in a while. Why not come to mine? I could give you an after hours tour?" he said and cocked his head to the side with a charming grin.

Hisoka jerked slightly in surprise when he noticed another hand also making tracing along the table. He watched the hand for a few moments, as Drake spoke, he blinked tilting his head. A second later he glanced up and smiled briefly at Drake. “Really? I haven’t been to an art gallery in awhile. I used to make a visit every other weekend. But then I joined the advanced classes and I just haven’t had time anymore. That’s one of my major’s…but since I’m still so uncertain I haven’t chosen yet…” He muttered as he thought about what he was going to do with his courses. He shook the thought away. He blinked looking up at Drake in confusion. His eyes widened slightly in realization. “Oh! I see…” He muttered in embarrassment. He should have realized really, he blinked cutely realizing that Drake was looking at him still. It clicked in his head causing him to blush slightly. He chuckled slightly when Drake continued looking at him, and looked away gulping. ‘Stop that. I don’t want to think that way.’ He thought glanceing down at the coffee packets.

“That’s nice I guess…” he muttered dropping his head slightly. He blinked looking up when the girl showed up with their order. Hisoka was a bit relieved that she had showed up when she had. She smiled cheerfully sitting the orders down, leaning as close as she could without drawing too much attention. “Here you guys go. A White Chocolate Mocha and chocolate muffin. And a Black hazelnut coffee and slice of carrot cake.” She said stepping back. “If there is anything else you need, please let me know.” She said blushing and giving a small bow, before giggling and running off. Hisoka blinked and turned to his coffee bringing it up, he took in the aroma and smiled happily holding it in his hands.

BrokenDreams

Drake folded his hand in front of him on the table and leveled his gaze on Hisoka sitting across from him. His eyes were intense without him even meaning them to be, that was just their effect on people. He watched as the other male was hard pressed to pick up on why the girl was so flustered that was serving them and he gave a vampish smile. He watched as the other boy shrugged and started to doodle designs on the table in front of him and he watched for a moment before reaching over and lightly tracing a bit of it. "I see you like art as well...I'm quiet a fan. In fact, I work at the art gallery in town" he said with a slight grin, it was rare that he told his targets about his real life but for some reason the male put him at ease. "Oh and the girl...she thinks that you're cute" he explained and made sure that he made eye contact with the boy, his smile was warm and he made sure that Hisoka could tell that he agreed with her.

Hisoka blinked looking up at him in confusion and shock when he had asked what he was studying. “Oh. Ummm, a little bit of everything right now. I’m not completely sure what to make my major so I’m taking all of the available classes. Advanced physics, biology, chemistry and the likes. Things to keep my mind occupied.” He said with a shrug as he watched the ground following behind Drake. It brought to mind that he really didn’t know what o do with his life. Time like this he felt like a small child still. The only thing was he didn’t have any guidance, or someone to help. He keeps thinking he’ll figure everything out the more he learned. Though even he knew he couldn’t learn everything, and eventual he would run out of things… Then his mind would wonder and… He shook his head clearing his mind. If it became too bad he just filled it with facts and numbers. He looked up when Drake stopped and noticed they were now standing before a café. He walked up at the others ushering and walked inside.

He took a deep breath once the warm air hit him, and felt his shoulders drop slightly in relief. It was something he was grateful toward after being in the cold all day. He had never noticed this place before. The scents of all the coffee and sweets also reminded him that he hadn’t eaten yet. Junk food would defiantly help him stay awake. He slid into the booth and picked up the plastic menu before him glancing it over. He frowned slightly thinking over what to get. He blinked looking up at the girl and smiled brightly. “A white Chocolate Mocha and a chocolate muffin please.” He said politely, tilting his head. He blinked in confusion at her red face. “Al-Alright. Coming right up.” She said with a swift bow and ran off to the counter to tell the girl at the counter about the handsome and cute boy’s she was serving. Hisoka blinked slowly in confusion watching her take off, but shrugged. He placed his bag down on the booth beside him and brought his hands up to draw designs on the table.

BrokenDreams

Drake nodded in approval as the dark haired male accepted his invitation and he turned starting towards the cafe he had spoken of earlier. His own mind wandered to the question of whether or not it would snow this year but he kept it to himself and instead turned his attention to the male next to him. "So Hisoka what is it that you study?" he asked and then at the others startled look he laughed "I only ask because I noticed most of those were text books" he said innocently with a soft chuckle. This laugh was nothing like his true laugh but it was necessary to lead the boy farther into his trap, if ever there was a wolf in sheeps clothing it was Drake. He payed close attention at the other spoke until they reached the cafe and he waved his hand at it "here we are" he said and ushered the male up the stairs in front of him.

Once inside it was much warmer and the inside smelled comfortably like coffee and cake. Drake led him to a corner booth and slid into the opposite side across from him, he didn't even need to see the menu. He had been to this small place so much that he knew exactly what he wanted, a polite waitress came over to them and kept sneaking glances at Drake while she took their order "A hazelnut coffee, black and a slice of carrot cake please" he said and gave her a slow sizzling smile. The girl blushed and nodded "o-ok...and for you sir?" she asked Hisoka, she felt lucky to get two such handsome boys at her tables.

[Ah, Lelouch is close enough ^^]

He took the last book back with a nod, and turned his head away ignoring the contact. He swallowed and glanced at the sky as well. "It has been really weird lately." He muttered with a small frown and looked down to the ground. He had wondered why it had suddenly gotten so cold. A classmate had called it a bad omen. Hisoka wasn't so sure he believed in those things. Hisoka blinked up at him and bit his tounge thinking it over. A coffee didn't sound so bad. And it would warm him up. Agreeing to this didn't mean anything right? He had made a decision and would stick to that decision. He glanced at him again form the coner of his eye and nodded slowly. "I supose that would be fine.." he muttered, shifting the bag back under his arm. "I'm Hisoka." He siad with a slight smile. "Nice to meet you." He said politely.

he glanced around the street and saw that everyone did seem to be heading to warmer places. And the coffee would help with his studeis. As long as he didn't drag it out too long... He smiled slightly, and followed Drake once he started leading the way. He breifly wondered if it would possibly snow this time? It had been a long time since it had snowed around here, even in teh correct season.

BrokenDreams

Drake saw the shy smile slip from the other males lips and he knew that he had him, this would be easy if he played his cards right. Drake picked up the last book and turned it over in his fingers with an interested look before holding it out to Hisoka "you're welcome" he replied and bowed his head slightly in return. He stepped forward only slightly so that he brushed the other males arm with his own and gave a cursory look at the gray sky with an exaggerated shiver. His blue orbs returned to the hazel ones of his target "it's rather cold, funny for this time of year isn't it?" he asked and smiled at the boys answer. "Maybe we could get a cup of coffee, my treat for knocking your things onto the ground. I know a really good place just up the block?" he offered and gave Hisoka a dazzling grin once again "I'm Drake by the way."

Drake could feel the spiteful gaze on his back and he turned his head only slightly to find the source. His eyes roamed into the shop and found the male that was staring at the pair of them. His eyes narrowed and warning filled them, they were blatantly the eyes of killer in that look. If the male was a past lover to the boy he didn't want him interfering with anything that Drake might deem necessary to gain the information he needed.

[The best I could find.]

He kept his head down as he walked along the cobble streets. Depression, hurt, sadness, loneliness, and pain clouded al of his senses. How could his have happened? He had been perfect hadn’t he? Caring, loving, protective, and faithful. Perhaps he was too perfect? Is that why this ended the way it did? Or was he never supposed to be happy. It seemed that every time he thought he found someone, they left or betrayed him. He sighed pulling his jacket around him tighter. The rain pounded down almost making the weight he felt grater then it had been. Perhaps he should just pay attention to his studies, like in the past. Before he had met his first boyfriend the only thing on his mid had been his books and grades. Perhaps he should go back to thinking that way. Love seemed to be nothing but a giant heartache. Perhaps, love just wasn’t something for him. His shoulders slumped slightly at the thought, but he had to face the truth. He nodded pulling his jacket closer and wrapping his arms around himself. “Please don’t.” Hisoka blinked looking up when he heard that. Frowning he turned toward the alley way he had heard the voice from. He could hear more speaking but it was muffled. Though one person sounded scared and hysterical. He started in the direction when a gunshot sounded off. His eyes widened and he dashed toward the area. He slowed down creeping closer when he got toward the entrance. His eyes widened and he froze at the sight before him. He stared at the scene before him in shock and slight fear. One man was cowering on the ground. A blood stain at the shoulder of his expensive suit. The other man stood with his gun pointing toward him. The rain was blocking out the sounds, but somehow he could hear everything being said. He stared in horror as he shot the other man in the head between his eyes. He couldn’t stop the gasp that escaped him. The man spun around and locked eyes with Hisoka. Hisoka backed away slowly, and turned running away when the men stepped forward. ‘Have to run. Have to run. As long as I can get away I’ll be fine. This was all a nightmare. That’s it I’ll wake up and start studying immediately. This never happened!’ he thought.

Hisoka sighed as he pulled his coat closer to him. How had it gotten so cold? The weather wasn’t supposed to get this bad. It was supposed to be the normal warmth; however a freak event had occurred. He smiled as he found the book he had been looking for. He had joined the advanced collage courses and they hadn’t had all the material. He smiled adding it to the pile under his arm. Walking toward the counter he paused seeing some pocky and sweets. Smiling he added them to his pile and reached the counter and reached for his wallet. He looked up and froze at the person behind the counter. “Well, well if it isn’t Soka-Chan.” He said grinning as he leered leaning over the counter. Hisoka took a breath and closed his eyes. “Renji.” He said calmly. He ignored the look keeping his head down, and ignored everything that was said. ‘I don’t want to deal with this right now.’ He thought biting his lip. He handed the money over when he heard the cash register ring, and grabbed his bag. He was topped when his wrist was grabbed. “Why in such a hurry Soka? You weren’t this happy to leave me last time I saw you, though you were just as defiant. Maybe we could see if you’ve loosened up any?” He said with a smirk. Hisoka looked up and glared at him, as he reached forward and grabbed one of the display cases and smashing it down on his other hand. When he yelped and released him, Hisoka left the store. He stood outside panting and trying to calm down, slinging the bag over his shoulder in annoyance. He closed his eyes and tried to relax when he was bumped into. His eyes widened as he felt the bag rip, and his books fall to the ground. He hurried to his knees grabbing them before they got wet. He looked up when the guy spoke and handed him the rest of his things. He blinked a few times at the smile the guy had given him. He suddenly felt shy and smiled cutely back at him. “It’s alright. I should have been paying attention as well.” He muttered lowly almost giggling before he caught himself. ‘Not again! Grow a back bone Hisoka. Don’t drool over everyone you see!’ He shouted to himself. He grabbed the bag and shoved the things back in, tying the broken strap to the ends. ‘That will hold at least.’ He thought, standing. “Thank you for the help though.” He said bowing.

[Sorry, it took so long. I couldn't find a picture.]

BrokenDreams

Bright blue eyes gazed at the group of shadowy men in amusement, so much secrecy but it wouldn’t save them if Drake decided to kill them. He spun his gun around his finger and smiled, the men shifted nervously under his light gaze it was common knowledge that Drake Terro was a loose cannon, he would as quickly kill you as look at you. “We need you to kill someone Drake” the largest man said and moved forward with his head down, Drake laughed softly “well no shit, no one calls me just to chat numb skull.” His tone was full of sarcasm and so was the smirk that lit his face, the man cleared his throat and advanced slightly to lay a photo in front of the dark haired male “this is him, we’ll give you all of the information about him and his whereabouts” he said. Another man cleared his throat and Drake flicked his gaze from him and then back to the one in front of him “need a cough drop?” he asked with an amused grin. The man scowled and shook his head “no, no” he murmured and Drake sighed and started spinning his gun once again, it was a sign of impatience “w-what he means to say is that we need something more from you” the man said. Drakes eyebrows shot up and the man was quick to continue “we need you to find out how much he saw. We need you to keep him alive long enough for that, and then you can kill him. We’re offering extra for the info” he said and sat not one but three cases down in front of Drake. A grin lit the young males face and he chuckled “you got yourself a deal gentlemen” he said and stood up leaving the cases “I get it when I’m done” he said offhandedly before leaving the room. The men all let out a sigh of relief, it wasn’t often that you got away unscathed from an encounter with that man.

Now

Drake walked along the windy sidewalks with his hands stuffed deep in the pockets of his long overcoat, it wasn’t often that it got cold here but when it did it could bite to the bone. His light blue orbs followed the stream of people walking down the sidewalks but he was really only looking for one certain person. He found him almost immediately by one of the shops and made his way casually towards the young man standing alone and obviously flustered. He held a bag over his shoulder and Drake suddenly grinned, that strap looked really thin. He made his way over and flipped out a pocket knife, it was simple to slash the strap while bumping into the young man and soon the contents of the bag were spilled across the concrete. Drake slipped the knife back into his pocket and knelt quickly grabbing a few things and holding them out to the man “I’m so very sorry, I must watch where I’m going more often” he said and gave the man a winning smile. One thing was that when he wasn’t scaring the life out of someone he was charming everyone around him, women swooned before his smile and men wanted to be his best friend. Hopefully this boy wouldn’t be any different.

((Here it is! I know it was a crappy beggining but I promise it will get better, lol.))
