Asagi shyly walked into the entrance hall of the place that he pretty much called home anyway. He couldn't remember the last time he'd seen his mum and dad - they didn't really get on that well. Asagi couldn't help but to distance himself from the slightly - he didn't want them to worry about him afterall.
He loooked around the large entrance hall heaving a slight sigh as he did. For his first time in here for a long time he was wearing his black vest top complete with arm warmers, not matching of course, coupled with the black skirt - front pannel just about missing, the black thigh strapping and the high platform boots.
His hair as ever was brushed over his face so as to cover one eye and one side of his face completely the long black locks cascading down to finish mid back ever so silky smooth, looking almost strokable. He had his red contacts in as well, they always freaked people out.

Celeste made her way into the entrance hall. It felt oddly good to be back at the school. She had been upset by the dreary and depressing mood that surrounded the house. Her dad had silently slipped backwards after a conversation her grandmother had started about her mother, and Jack had to take over the business, while her father mooped. She bit her lip lightly at the memories. Everything was far to complicated at that house! She had spent most of the summer there and was just glad to be away from it.
The driver was bringing her bags around and she was glad she didn't have to carry them, god's they were heavy. Jack had laughed at the sight of them and had asked her, if she would be coming home between now and her twenty-fifth birthday. She had just hit him lightly and then hopped into the car, but silently she wondered if he had noticed her desperation to get away from the house.
It was Spring and Celeste was wearing a yellow dress and yellow shoes. Her hair was falling naturally straight and she was wearing little amounts of makeup, only a small bit of lip-gloss.
Celeste was unfortunatly very lost in her thoughts. She wondered why had her grandmother brought up her mother knowing that it was still a weak spot for her father. Was she planning something? Or was she simply trying to help her father gain control of his weakness. She was so lost in her thoughts that she banged lightly into someone in front of her. |

Asagi had jumped slightly as someone had bumped into the back of him turning to see who it was. He noticed Celeste and gave a slight smile, he could vaguely recognise her from when he was last here. Last year.
"Hey," he said quietly he could see she was lost in thought so he didn't want to disturb her out of her thoughts too quickly. "Is anything the matter?" he added on in query.
Even though they were in different houses it was just how Asagi was. Then he suddenly thought what if this person hadn't wanted to talk to him. He blushed slightly "I mean...uh... nothing..." he muttered, looking down at his feet.
Yeh self esteem issues resurfacing again. He himself hadn't really left this place, he'd stayed here through the holidays it was easier then letting his family know how he really felt. Besides it'd meant he'd had a headstart at redecorating his new house to suit his particular likes.

A slight hey filtered into Celestes thoughts and she jumped lightly. Looking up she recognised a boy from a year above of her. She smiled apologeticly at him, realising it was him she had bumped into and a thick, embarrsed blush covered her cheeks "I didn't hurt you did I?" worry was lacing her voice and she didn't realise just how light the bump had been. As he spoke again she nodded and smiled weakly. "Ya don't worry i'm fine, just got family problems." She said lightly wondering why she was telling him that, but it had slipped out before she had realised it.
Celeste was slightly suprised, normally she would have been stumbling over her words, flushing and making a fool of herself, twice as much as she was now. But while meeting new people made her nervious and shy, she felt oddly relaxed in his company. She smiled warmly at him expressing her thanks, when he pulled back and looked at the floor. "Oh dear, I didn't mean to offend him!" She cried out in her mind wondering what to say to make things better. "It's fine really......I didn't offend you did I?.......I'm sorry" All these things rushed out of her mouth before she could even think of what to say, and when she realised what she had said, she snapped her mouth closed and looked at him worried. |

Asagi smiled slightly. "I'm fine" he said quietly raising his head, there may still be slight sign of the fact he himself had just been blushing when he realised he'd actually been speaking. His red eyes looked at her, well his one visible eye did, the other was hidden beneath his usual fringe.
Quietly he shifted his position, the creak of leather sounding as he did, he was used to that. Just like he was used to his platforms. People tried to work out how he could walk in them, but the point of the matter was that he was used to walking in them. For him it wasn't painful.
Besides better be wearing platforms then being really short and feeling even more self concious then usual. Due to the general tallness of the western males without his platforms Asagi always ended up feeling really small and it wasn't a comfortable feeling for him as that led to him feeling insignificant.

Celeste let her body relax at his next comment. She blushed lightly realising she had over reacted, to a simple gesture, but she could help it. She worried to much, even when it came to complete strangers. If someone came to her with a problem she would automaticly treat them as if they were a close friend and would worry about them and all they had to go through in their life. "I'm glad" she said looking back up at him a warm smile on her face.
The creak of leather, made her look down and take in his clothing. Some would say it was an odd style but Celeste couldn't help but think that it suited him. Her eyes rested on his platforms and then looked at her own flat soled shoes, and her smile grew. Every part of his outfit just....fit together with his hair eyes and even skin to make an overall stunning effect. The fact that it was a little out of the ordaniary made her admire him. She would never have to confidence to wear something like that.
She looked back up at him, her smile still intact. Though her nerviousness at meeting someone new for the first time settled in and she tried to fish around for something to say. Something to solve the silence. Finally picking something, she decided it was a good enough question to ask. "Are you glad to be back at school?" She questioned, not knowing he had never left the school. |

"Never leave here, been spending the holidays redecorating my new house now I've moved up a year to suit my tastes," he responded with an easy smile starting to lose some of his shyness. He could feel her eyes taking in his attire, part of him wondering her reaction.
He knew the tattoo he had that he really shouldn't have due to not being of age yet was on display but he didn't really care. He knew his parents would have disapproved but again he really didn't care. He liked it, and he'd had it done shortly after he'd come here.
It was his own way of saying he was starting to stray away from being under his parents influence. They didn't approve of this style of dress sense either but again he really didn't care. "Though I admit I do like being back in this entrance hall, it means I can lose myself in a book in the library or use the practise halls freely," he admitted with a laugh. During the holidays the practise halls were strictly off limits to any student, the whole school locked up - the shops though in the small student village stayed open though and for that Asagi was glad.

Celeste nodded, it was a good idea. "I'd love to change the colour of my house, but i end up never having the time" She said laughing lightly. The houses were always painted white/cream and she would like to paint it blue or yellow, just for a change. In her first year the white/cream had been wonderful, a new experience compared to her house but now it was becoming a little repetitive. For some reason Celeste also liked Crimson, on the walls of a large room, it made quite an amazing effect
Celeste realized she had been looking at his outfit and hadn't commented on it. Hoping he didn't take that as a bad sign, she thought carefully, and then said. "You must be a really confident person, I would never have the courage to wear an outfit like that. But it looks really good on you and the whole outfit fits together really well." She said smiling warmly though she was slightly worried that it would be taken the wrong way.
"Is it easy staying here over the summer?" She asked curious it would make things a lot easier for her if she didn't have to go home, but she didn't know how she would deal with being away from her family for so long. She would probably be horribly lonely, did any of her friends stay at the school over the summer? "Do you stay at the school for all the breaks?" She asked curious. If she knew someone who stayed on at the school, it would be a lot easier for her to stay on too. Maybe if he stayed on at Christmas, she might stay as well to see how well she could hold up and she could keep him company. |

"Its part of the reason why I always stay during the holidays, invite the family up for christmas day to exchange presents but as I say, every holiday, I never leave this place, its much nicer here anyway," he responded with a smile. "I find during term time I'm always running outta time to decorate," he added on.
Asagi smiled at that giving a slight bow as he shifted his position slightly again. "Thanks, I made some of it myself, namely the top, well it was more a combination of two tops put together as one," he said with a grin.
He couldn't help but to adjust his fringe slightly as he listened to the next question. He was kinda coming out of his usual shell slightly around Celeste. "As I said earlier yeh every break, even christmas and easter, its easier travelling wise for me and the family find it easier to come to here then for me to go to where they live now," he said with a smile. "Besides they're nearly always travelling around looking for some place away from the cities," he added on.

Celeste nodded smiling. "That's a really good way to do it. It ends up being a lot les hassle for everyone." She said smiling warmly. She silently wondered what her brother would think if she suddenly told him she was going to stay at the school over the holidays. Guilt washed over her as she thought of her brothers hurt expression, and perhaps asking her now to leave him alone in the house. She shhok her head silently as she tried to clear away those thoughts. She couldn't dwell on it, she would take a bit more time to think about it and would then propose it to Jack.
Celeste's eyes widened. You could give her any craft material and she could easily create something, but if it was to ot with fabric or needles she was terriable. "That's amazing! Do you just think up the designs yourself or do you look in magazines and the like?" She asked genuinely curious, she looked the outfit up and down again before wondering what magazine he had gotten the idea from, if it wasn't from his mind. |

"Back in Japan, there were two bands that were particularly famous... one was Dir en Grey, the other Malice Mizer, some of my inspiration for my costumes came from them," he responded with a smile. "Though I do have much of my own style in them," he added on.
His eyes took on a distant almost far away look as he thought back to those times. "I meant to go see them live at some point, but... I guess it wasn't to be. Back then i was too young to be allowed to their live concerts. Now... Malice Mizer has been disbanded, though there is Moi dix Mois and Gackt - he's a good musician - Dir en Grey have been banned from touring this country," he had to chuckle slightly at that.
"In Japan there is a lot of fan servicing among bands, and predominantly is the Visual Kei market that dirves forward the new musicians. You need your own particular style and theme to succeed. Dir en Grey are punk, anarchist, against regulation. Malice Mizer were dark, gothic, yet ever so elegant at the same time," he smiled slightly. "Those two groups, especially Kyo, Mana, and Gackt and Kami, they all have acted as inspiring forces,"

Celeste nodded happily. "I've never really heard of that many Japanese bands, unless you had an internet connection their pretty hard to come by." She said smiling warmly. Other cultures had always interested her, and when she was little her brother had been big into Manga and Anime, she had learnt alot about the japanese culture from it. Looking back over the outfit she took it all in and smiled, before looking back up at his face. "Did you make all your clothes?" She asked curious, to be honest she would like to see some more of his designs.
As he spoke about the other bands Celeste smiled and nodded. "Ummmmmm......How exactly did they get banned?" She asked curious, her head tilting lightly to the side and a warm smile on her face.Celeste nodded. "I'm guessing you lived in Japan for a long time then? When did you move over here?" She asked. |
