And so it begins :Noah/open:

[Deleted]

It was a warm, and sunny afternoon in the middle of September, classes were out for the day, and most of the older students were out enjoying their last allowed hours outside. At least, that’s what Xayden was attempting to do. It had been a long day filled with classes, Quidditch practice, and some idiotic third year females who had thought that it would be cute to call him by his full name –Xayden-. Needless to say, those foolish women would not be bothering him again.

Some said that he was cruel, others said that he was misunderstood, but the truth was, he just didn't tolerate any nonsense, especially not from women. He didn't care if people hated him for it, because he wasn't going to change. He liked how he was, and if people had a problem with it, then they could just screw off for all he cared. he sighed, and ran a hand through the dark waves that rested on his head, trying his best to chase away his negative thoughts as he had just arrived at his special spot, and did not want to ruin the relaxing aura of the place with his negative thoughts. After a few quiet moments, he opened his eyes, and gazed at the place before him
with a look that could almost be described as affectionate.


It was a large tree that lay along the shore of the Black Lake. It was
far enough so that he would not need to worry about the water, but just close enough so that he still had a good, clear view of the lake should he decide that he would rather watch the scenery than read. He sat, and made himself comfortable, with his back laying straight against the trunk of the tree, before he allowed his gaze to travel down to the book for an moment quietly analyzing, and observing the cover.It was a medium sized book that had a navy blue cover. In silver letters, the word Mythology was written.


Xay allowed a small smile to pass on his face. He loved Mythology,
as it was a very fascinating subject to learn about. He found it amazing how muggles, and wizards alike were able to come up with such vivid stories in order to explain how, and why certain aspects of nature worked the way that they did. It was something that never bored him. His hand reached out, and gently stroked the cover of the book,before his hand moved the outside cover, opening the book. His eyes met the page and he allowed himself to get lost in the words of the brilliant storytellers of the ancient civilizations that lived so many years ago.

His gray eyes were locked on the man that was reading across the lake. It was very easy to recognize him,. Xayden was special, in the way that it was very difficult to mistake him for anyone else, even at a distance. He had a unique presence that was all his own, at least that was the way that it seemed to Noah. He continued to stare at the man across the lake, trying to decide weither or not he should go talk to him.

After a few minutes of playing out the possibile scenarios in his head, Noah stood, and made his way over to Xayden. Really, what was the worst that could happen?. He soon stood infront of Xayden, who was so engrossed in his book, that he did not even notice the boy approach him. Noah hesitated for a moment, before sighing.

"E....Excuse me?..."

Xayden looked up from his book with an unreadable expression on his face, making Noah even more nervous then he already was. He cleared his throat nervously, before continuing on with his question.

"M....May I please sit here? I promise I won't bother you."

Xayden sighed quietly as he heard footsteps approaching the area where he was currently located at. He had been hoping that by ignoring whoever it was that had been staring at him, they would eventually grow bored with him, and leave him alone. Unfortunately, it seemed that fate had other plans in store for him. The footsteps grew closer, and closer before stopping directly in front of him. Still Xayden's eyes remained on his book, not bothering to even look at the person.

" E....Excuse me?" The voice that spoke was quiet, and soft with an almost musical quality to it. Xayden sighed, and closed his book, taking a few seconds to work his face into it's normal cold look, before glancing up at the person, freezing when he saw just who it was. The boy had pale skin, wavy black hair that fell into his face to hide his beautiful grey eyes. Xayden's eyes ran from his boyish face, down his thin body, and back up again, a smirk crossing his lips. The boy standing infront of him was none other than the current object of his desires, Noah Weldings.

Xayden wasn't sure just what it was that made the boy so attractive to him. He was just a normal boy, average in physical looks. Come to think of it, he was pretty much average in every way except for his academics. That was the one thing he knew that Noah excelled in, which wasn't surprising. His father, and mother were both very smart people, something that he knew from the vast amounts of time that their families spent together. He was drawn from his thoughts, as the boy began to speak again.

" M.....May I please sit here? I promise that I won't bother you."

The boy's eyes sparkled with nervousness, as he looked down at Xayden for his answer, which was something that Xayden found endearing. He offered up a smile, and patted the ground next to him, motioning for him to sit down.

" Go ahead. I don't mind.."

Noah blinked in shock when the young man infront of him gave him permission to join him. Xayden wasn't exactly known for being friendly to strangers. It was said that Xayden was a cruel person, one that had a heart made of ice, and although Noah knew different, he supposed that he couldn't really blame the others who believed in the rumors. Noah had been lucky enough to see him outside of school amongst his older brothers, and father. Noah knew that Xayden had a warm side because he got to see it for himself, and although him, and the older boy weren't exactly friends ( hell, they had never even had a full conversation before now!,) Noah couldn't help but feel a bit happy. Maybe Xayden would become a good friend of his in the future. Maybe he could help Xayden open up to people, so everyone could see just how great of a guy that he could be. There were just so many possibilities for the both of them as friends, Noah just couldn't help but feel excited.

He was brought out of his thoughts when Xayden gave him a weird look, he blinked, and blushed after realizing that he had just been standing there the entire time, and hurried to take his spot next to him. Of course, fate had it out for him. He somehow managed to trip over his own feet, and tumbled onto Xayden's lap.

He laid there for a few seconds, staring up into Xayden's eyes. His body was numb from the shock of the situation. Seconds turned into minutes, and the two boys still continued
to stare at each other. After what seemed like an eternity, Noah finally regained his senses, and jumped off of Xayden's lap.

" I'm sorry!It was an accident I swear! Please don't be upset with me!"

[Deleted]

Xayden paused as he felt the boy hit his lap. Sometimes, he swore that the gods were testing his patience, or rather, his self controll. After all, what were the odds that the boy who he was currently after would end up in his lap after only a few seconds of talking? ' Apparently' Xayden mused inside his mind, as his eyes remained locked on the boy. 'Greater then I had originally thought.'



Xayden was brought out of his thoughts when Noah started speaking, however he couldn't help but let a smirk play out on his lips as he heard his words. The boy had been stuttering out an apology to Xayden, and it was quite obvious that he was very embarassed, and although Xayden enjoyed how cute he was currently acting, he decided that it was time to calm the boy before he had a heart attack.


"It's fine, Noah. I'm not angry." His voice came out as a purr, his eyes looking over the boy's form again, the smirk that had originally been on his lips, grew a bit in size. His normally cold eyes warmed up with a certain...not so innocent emotion.His finger moved underneath the boy's chin, and tilted it upwards so that the two males would be making eye contact.

" After all, I can't be mad at you over something that I enjoyed, right?."
