1x1 w/ Anna and Echo

[AnnaCat17]

Ricky kept peeking over the edge of her bed, watching her carefully with his small beady snake eyes. "Are exams really that bad that they have that effect on you?" He asked, his tongue flicking as he spoke since his mouth didn't actually move when he spoke in snake form.

Alex watched him for a moment longer before walking over to the coffee pot and pouring himself a cup. He immediately regretted not putting a shirt on and only wearing his pj pants downstairs since he assumed he would be the only person up this early. He didnt look over at Jace as he dumped sugar into his cup, knowing he must be making their situation worse.

Saige flinched when he spoke. She looked over at him, shaking her head. She slowly picked him up and brought him over to her. She sniffled, hugging him to try and comfort herself.

Jaceyeon glanced up as Alex came into the kitchen. His face flushed as he looked at him, and he dropped his gaze back to his coffee, not wanting to stare. "I'm not coming today," he murmured over to him. "I'm not feeling well." He'd catch up some other time.

June got a text from Kal that said, "I didn't mean what I said last night. Let me make it up to you. Please."

Ricky grunted as hecwss hugged tightly vut couldn't do much about his situation since he was just a glorified rope
He watched saige's face worriedly, wishing he could do something but not wanting to vocalize thst desire.

Alex looked over at him, trying to judge if he was lieing. He walked over and sat across from him before glancing at the stairs to be sure everyone was still asleep. "Can we talk?"

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"Sorry," she whispered, loosening her grip on him. "Can I use a wish to fix this?" she asked hopefully.

Jace kept his gaze on his coffee uncomfortable, not because of Alex being topless, but because of the situation. "Yeah, sure."

June got a text from Kal that said, "I didn't mean what I said last night. Let me make it up to you. Please."

Ricky tried to shrug but couldnt so was forced to speak. "No clue. Its demon magic though so there might be a catch to it and circes magic might still be stronger."

Alex shifted uncomfortably as he looked at jace. "Look i... Im not gay. I was at a party over the summer and i got drunk and that guy you saw, he and i... Well.... We did some stuff. But im not gay. I just did something really dumb and its not going to happen again. Im not some pervert or going to do anything to do. Ive had a ton of girlfriends for goodness sakes. I cant be..." He glanced nervously at the stairs again before refocusing on him. "I understand if you dont want to be near me. If you need help getting re set up at your dorm i can help you or circe would probably be happy to so you dont have to be near me. I promise im not one of those though. Im normal."

June reread the text a few times but couldnt release her attitude. "Dont bother. Im already finding someone else to play with."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Jaceyeon narrowed his eyes, frowning over at him. "And I'm not normal, then? It's okay to be gay, Alex. It's not a big deal." He downed the rest of his coffee, but didn't taste it. "I'm bi, Alex. And there's nothing wrong with that."

"Fine then. Suit yourself." Kalelr threw his phone on the car hood, growling. Why had he messed things up? He hated being alone, and he knew it. At least with June he could pretend that he wasn't.

Alex glanced back at the stairs terrified and when he spoke his words soundes rehearsed. "Thats not how things are supposed to be its... Its unnatural and a sign that something somewhere went wrong that needs to be fixed."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"Are you okay with staying here for the morning? I have class to go to, and I'll be late if I bring you to Kailor's first. She has class too, anyways." Saige rested her head back down, gazing at Ricky.

Jaceyeon looked at Alex, disgusted. "Are you kidding me? That's nonsense, and you know it. That's like saying you're something that needs to be fixed just because you're an elf. There's nothing wrong with being gay, and there's nothing wrong with you."

[AnnaCat17]

Ricky nodded and looked away from her boredly, not caring what happened to him.

Alex cast a glare at him before looking down into his untouched coffee. "You dont know what youre talking about."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"Sorry," she whispered. She got up and went into the bathroom to get ready.

Jaceyeon shot him a glare. "I've been bi my whole life. I think I know what I'm talking about," he snapped, standing up from the table.
