Same Old Thing[CONRAD/OPEN]

[conrad]

Seriously, was she telling him to sit down? A student giving a teacher orders, he shouldn't stand for it, he should give her a weeks worth of detentions, why then did he feel compelled to just walk over to her and sit down. This wasn't right. Yet it felt right. It felt good.

Smiling slightly Con stared into the distance, how badly he just wanted to start singing the Glee mashup of 'Don't Stand So Close To Me & Young Girl'. How weird would it be if he did actually do that? He wasn't going to though, that song may fit with the current situation but he wouldn't sing it, he may recomend that she listen to it though. Or maybe not. Con actually liked this, he knew it was wrong but to him it felt right. He turned to face the girl and smiled.

Rikaeyu thought momentarily then giggled. She was telling a teacher what to do and he was listening. If she had been in costume, that would be of no surprise, but as herself, as lowly Rikaeyu Osomage... she was nothing. She was a weak girl that got teased and picked on.

She smiled at him as he smiled at her. What was she supposed to say? The Black Rose would know... but Rikku had a hard time being her other self unless she was in costume.

After a moment, she sighed. "You are... Oh, never mind. Can you turn into any animal you want? And can you change your eye and hair color?" she asked. She could, but could he, or was she alone on that.

"You are... Oh, never mind. Can you turn into any animal you want? And can you change your eye and hair color?"

Conrad raised one of his eyebrows slightly when she said 'you are'. He was what? Why was she so quick to get away from the point? And why was he staring at her with the want to just pull her in for a kiss? It was wrong. He was a teacher. Yet temptation and frustration shot through him. Shrugging it off he looked away, "I can just turn into a wolf. I still don't know the full potential of my ability yet, and I don't want to..."

Con stood up and took a few steps forward, he would've walked away but something made him turn around and start rambling again, this time there was a hint of anger in his voice, "I killed my parents the first time I changed, do you know how that feels? Why would I want to hurt more people whilst learning how much more of a freak I am? I have my daughter back, i'm not going to ruin that now... And then there's this, why the heck am I even talking to you? Why is it that I feel so compelled to protect you?!"

He dropped to his knees, his fists hitting the ground and tears pouring from his eyes. That was one of his rules broken, he swore never to cry in front of anyone, but she was different. "Why is it that we've only just met and yet I love you?" Finally he had admitted it, even though it was wrong he didn't care, he did have to consider all views though, "i'm a teacher, I shouldn't feel like this...

[Rikaeyu Osomage]

"I might not know what it is like to kill my own parents... but i did have the unrequited pleasure of having to watch two 'anti-mutant' people kill my two parents right in front of me. I was only five. Funny thing is, i do not remember anything that happened after that until i was ten or twelve. I got hit by a car while in a felines 'skin'. They wanted to kill me! I am very lucky to even be alive today." She turned her head, though she did want to look at him.

"Why is it that we've only just met and yet I love you?"

Then it hit her. Her memories come and go but one memory just hit her with full force. "I-i have met you before. I swear... i have met you. In the park. Of course, i can barely remember it... but..." her voice trailed off.

She noticed tears trailing down the teachers cheek. "Oh, please do not cry," she begged. Her greek accent had found it's way out and it was thick in her voice. She slid a little bit over to him and wrapped her arms around him. "I hate it when people cry, sir."

[conrad]

Conrad glanced at the female as she told him not to cry. Didn't she understand that she was the reason behind why he was crying? Looking back at his fists Con punched the ground, tearing his skin in the process, he didn't care right now. Nothing mattered to him. He punched the ground again, blood slowly seaping through the wounds, that stung slightly but he'd been through worse.

Looking up Con stared at the tree they had been sat under, his eyes narrowed as he did so. Slowly standing up the teacher wiped the tears from his eyes getting blood on his face in the process. He glanced at the girl, "I would've been willing to break all the rules for you..." Casually walking away Conrad clenched his fists again and slowly walked away. If she was going to say something now was the time, if not then he would just walk away.

[Rikaeyu Osomage]

Rikku bit her lip. Her heart fluttered lightly as she watched him get up to leave. She had to say something, yet words wouldn't come to her lips. She thought and thought but all she could do was stare. 'Think.'

Finally, she cleared her throat and stood up, thinking of whether or not to go after him. 'What about... she shook the thought out of her head. He was a teacher, she couldn't but yet she wanted to. Why did she want to?

Finally, Riyu strode towards him. "Please, don't go... I-" she couldn't speak. The girl lightly grabbed his arm. "I-..." this was against her goddesses and her beliefs. What was she going to do. She couldn't say that she loved him... she barely knew him... but she could say she liked him... but she couldn't speak.

She felt defeated. The girl looked down at the ground and let her arm fall again.

[conrad]

"Please, don't go... I-"

Conrad felt a hand grab his arm. Now this was being hopeful, maybe too hopeful. Why couldn't he just walk away? It was clear she didn't have the same feelings that he did. Why did he just want to stay? Why did he hope things could work? He knew that it was wrong...

"I-..."

He felt her hand let go of him. That was proof that hope was useless, maybe even proof that no one was there to answer his prayers. His beliefs shattered by one person, it was true God worked in mysterious ways and had a grand plan for everyone but did this so called God have to do this. Maybe there was no God? Maybe that was just a myth created by people with nothing better to do than make up stories about some stuff that was supposed to happen ages ago. Yet again, there had to be a God, right?

Con sighed before glancing over his shoulder at the female. "You what? He frowned slightly still thinking about things, so many new thoughts and ideas running through his mind. Thoughts and ideas that he shouldn't have. He had put all his life into believing, could it really turn out to be a lie now?
