1x1 with cswolf.

Cyprus gave him a smile as he looked at him. He thought a moment as he weighed all the options. There were pros and cons for each different scenario but only one of the scenarios had the result and solution he wanted. He placed a hand on Elliot's and spoke gently "I want to have a relationship with you..." He murmured gently. "In the public eye we can still be the rivals they see us as, you can be your drama queen self and I can be my obnoxious Cheshire self..." He explained to him as he watched him. "But behind our closed dorm doors..." He murmured and leaned in to give him another kiss. "We would be lovers, supporting each other." He spoke as he pulled away. "We can still communicate outside the dorms." He spoke as he drew a finger down Elliot's arm. "But will not use names or any distinctive traits, just in case someone reads." He explained to him. He sat up and waited for Elliot's thoughts on what he said.

He watched Cyprus, unsure as to what he was going to say until he said it. Elliot flinched a little as Cyprus put his hand on his own hand, having to stop himself from moving his hand away, as if he was not used to or evem sure of the touch and gesture. Then, when Cyprus had finished talking, Elliot mulled it over for a moment, then nodded slightly. "I think... I think that could work. And I don't think we'd cross paths much anyway outside of the dorm, especially with classes, but I can see it working..." he could already think of hundreds of different ways as to what he could do to be dramatic and a rival against Cyprus - though this was perhaps not a surprise. He was also rather moved by the fact that Cyrpus had said that they'd be supporting each other, partly because he hadn't been supported specifically by someone else before (not that he wanted anyone to know). Then, he nodded slightly, "Yes... though it means you'll have to take off your 'fashion statement' bandages." Elliot lightly teased, in order to not appear like he had been moved and uplifted.

[cswolf.]

Cyprus nodded as he looked at him. "We'd only cross path a few times with overlapping drama-esque classes." He reminded as he looked at him. He could see the ideas going through his brain of how to be dramatic and he smiled. He soon removed his hand from Elliot's and laughed at his last statement. "Yes, my glorious fashion statement." He spoke as he took the bandages off and set it aside. He looked at him.

"I look forward to the cat fights that'll happen." Elliot laughed quietly, then glanced down towards the bed. He wasn't sure how easy this was going to be - in fact, he was quite certain that it wouldn't be easy at all - but he wanted to try and give it a go. Maybe he'd even find it within him to be more willing to open up. Elliot looked up when Cyprus removed his bandages, watching as he set them aside. "I wouldn't say 'glorious'..." he said, with a shake of his head. But at least it would mean that they could communicate now, and maybe get themselves back on the level that they had before.

[cswolf.]

Cyprus chuckled as he looked at Elliot. "You should know that any cat fights you initiate with me, I will win, as I am the son of the Cheshire cat after all..." He spoke in a playful tone as he watched him contently. He yawned before he glanced over at the book on his night-table. "I should really get back to memorizing my lines for my audition tomorrow..." He spoke as he stood and picked up the book, beginning to read his lines once more. He needed to pass this examination.

[Consulting_Angel]

"We'll see about that." Elliot said, pretty sure that he'd win at least half of them himself. Then, he pouted as Cyprus picked up a book to memorise his line. He knew that the audition was incredibly important to Cyprus, but he still wanted the attention. And since he'd already finished his own work already, and he wasn't tired either, so going to get some sleep wasn't an option for him yet. "Okay then." Elliot reluctantly said, and he slid off Cyprus's bed, then he went back over to the window to do some more stargazing, and just have a think about everything. He shrugged off his jacket, and set it to one side.

[cswolf.]

Cyprus smiled as he saw that Elliot pouted at the lack of attention. He wandered over to the window where Elliot sat and sat beside him, wrapping an arm around him as he continued reading through his lines. "Do you know what passage I am trying to memorize?" He asked him in a murmur tone. "One of Puck monologues from A Midnight Summer's Dream" He spoke with a smile. He told Elliot this because he thought he would find it funny since Cyprus was similar to Puck in some ways.

[Consulting_Angel]

He tensed up slightly, unused to the gesture happening to him, when Cyprus put an arm around him. Elliot glanced towards Cyprus when he spoke about what he was memorising, and then towards the book. "Hm. How fitting." Elliot lightly teased, evidently amused by this. He loved to read old classics, including plays, so he'd definitely read A Midsummer's Night Dream before. "How much have you memorised now?" he asked, then he paused for a moment, getting an idea, "Do you want me to help you?" He offered. Normally, he'd never offer to help anyone out, but he figured that he could make an exception for his soulmate.

[cswolf.]

Cyprus released his arm from around Elliot when he felt him tense, not wanting to make the smaller male feel uncomfortable. He smiled as he spoke about his monologue being fitting. "I thought so, that was why I chose it." He chuckled as he looked at him. "I've memorized about half of the passage." He spoke as he looked at him. "I would love if you could help me." He added. Normally, he would not accept help from anyone as that would prove that he was not perfect but he could make an exception for his soul-mate.

[Consulting_Angel]

He was unsure if he should reassure Cyprus that having his arm around him was okay, but then again, he wasn't too sure if he was comfortable with the gesture just yet. Affection was something often withheld from him.
Then, he nodded slightly, and glanced at the script, before placing a hand on it. "I could read it through as you recite it, perhaps." Elliot suggested, and he also had another idea. While he liked acting and drama, he did also like - and perhaps even preferred - directing and prompting people as well. Telling other people what to do was definitely his sort of thing - though he wouldn't be as harsh as he normally would be, for his soulmate. "...And maybe give suggestions to your acting and movements?" Elliot added, tilting his head to one side, trying to put on as innocent of a face as possible.
