56 Trouble at the Door (1/2)

His light brown hair was slightly messy, as were his clothes. He had his feet up on the coffee table while he leaned against the backrest. Arius knew he needed a haircut, but it wasn't like he could leave the house, not that he wanted to anyway.

Arius hadn't realized that Asrael was the type to wake up early. He was up before the sun, and he looked neat and well groomed. His blonde, almost white hair was combed down, while his black T-shirt and black jeans had barely any wrinkles.

”He has risen.” Arius announced, to no one since they were the only two on the main floor.

Asrael didn't say anything witty back as he plopped himself down beside Arius, and the two sat for a moment in blissful silence.

”I think I'm in love.” Arius blurted out, and the look he got from Asrael was out of this world.

”I'm not into you.” Was his response.

”I'm not talking about you.” Arius smiled a bit.

Asrael turned his gaze towards the painting of a red haired girl, and then raised his figure to point. ”Her? That's called pedophilia in this century.”

”Nope, not her. Guess again.”

Asrael put his arm down and thought for a moment before coming to a conclusion and making an 'oh' sound. Then they both reverted back to minding their own business.

Time dragged out as they did their own things on their phones. The next person to walk down the stairs was Dante, and he didn't speak a word as he very casually walked to Arius's side and sat down.

His hair wasn't messy or neat, and he was very particular about his choice of clothing. They were very dull but light, and not at all childish. He liked that they had no obvious logos or references to any programs for children.

Somehow, Zuna and Eirik came down together. Well, it wasn't much of a mystery as it wasn't hard to guess that Eirik had waited for Zuna.

That day was similar to yesterday, and everything was rather calm. Until of course Eirik left to work on catching his criminal. Zuna was very serious about watching him leave, and once he was out of sight she excitedly went over to Arius.
