Once Ryan opened his door he took in the lush baby blue room with its cream walls the bed was cream with blue sheets. He kicked off his shoes, flopped on his bed, and hid his face in his arms.
"Holly shit... I think I just offended Lux and embarrassed myself in front of, God knows, how many people walked by me before Able did, " he mumbled into his arms, his face tucked into the sheets.Suddenly Ryan heard Kris' voice through the wall, she seemed upset when the door closed quickly.
Curious about the commotion, Ryan got up and walked to his door. The barefooted boy peeked from his door and saw Able standing there laughing like a maniac with a weird glint in his eyes. He was looking at Kristin's room and ran his hand over the grain of the door, "You soon will be mine... sooner than you think."

"What the..?" Ryan tilted his head to the side as he watched the creepy scene in front of him. When Able turned his head back in Ryan's direction, he hid behind the door frame and waited for Able to pass by. Ryan reached for something to hit Able upside the head if he turned on him. Luckily, he didn't, Able walked right past Ryan's room still chuckling to himself as he talked about a plan to get Kristin.
"This dude is really fucked up... I should tell Kris. No, she'll be freaked out and wouldn't believe me... OH, I know, Fade! No, he scares me... but I need to tell someone that we have a grade-A psychopath in the building." He pressed his finger to his chin and sighed, "I don't wanna, but I have to..."
He opened the door quietly and snuck out into the hallway. Slowly creeping down it, Ryan knocked on Lux' door, "Hey, I.. uh... need to tell you something. Its kinda important." He said into the door. When he knocked the wooden door must not have been closed, for it creaked open.Walking in, Ryan looked around the dim room. He almost tripped on a pair of boots as he shuffled along.
Grey eyes followed the trail of boots to a shirt that was strone into the floor, then to a body asleep in the bed. Lux had his eyes closed and his arm hanging out of the covers. Its black and purple appearance making it known that something was wrong with it. He looked like a prince who had just returned from fighting a dragon. His brown hair curling around his neck like waves of brown hair. Lux smiled as he slept, he looked totally relaxed and happy-ish. His tattoos covering his skin like a walking work of art.
"Wow he is so cute when he is... No off limits!" Ryan quickly covered his mouth as Lux stirred slightly. Lux woke up and ran a hand through his hair. As his vision cleared, he noticed Ryan standing with his hands messing with his shirt. "What is it? Did someone die?"

"No..."

"Time for dinner?"

"No..."

"Then what do you want?"

"I saw Able outside Kristin's room and... and wooh you look... um.." Ryan stopped as Lux stood up and crossed his arms. His tan skin and features made Ryan assume that Lux was of middle-eastern descent. Not only were his arms covered in ink, his chest was as well. Tribal animals and intricate designs made their way from under his rib cage to his shoulders and back down his arms. There was one that stood out the most to Ryan, a simple black band that went all the way around his forearm. It looked strangle simple compared to the intricacy of the others.
"And?"

"What?" Lux' voice snapped Ryan out of his daydream and back into the awkward reality. He stuttered for a moment before he recalled what he had seen from the backside of his door. For a moment, Lux looked like he was thinking then lost a thought before he turned his head to look out the window.
The wind had kicked up, and the rain was running for the hills as it pelted the ground below.
With his back to Ryan, Lux sighed and turned back, "Let's wait for a bit before we say anything to the others. We don't know for sure if he is going to do something to Kris or not." Lux turned back to Ryan who was sitting on the floor holding his ears. "Why are you...?" before he could finish his statement, thunder clapped outside bringing with it the applause of lightning.
Ryan took his hands off his ears and nodded, "Sorry I saw the lighting and knew what was coming, and I agree I just needed to tell someone what would also agree with me."

"And that person was me?"

"Yeah, I knew Kris would freak out. I couldn't tell Able because, ya' know, and Fade scares me a bit."

"But I don't scare you?"

"No, why would you? You haven't given me reason to be scared of ya'."

"Because I am a criminal. A cold-hearted, blood-thirsty, emotionless killer. I've done so maybe things that you should be scared of. You should be scared of me, everybody is; including me." Lux looked down at his arm then back to Ryan who was standing. Ryan walked over to Lux and before his mind told him "no", he hugged Lux. No context, just went in for a hug. He put his arms around Lux' torso and closed his eyes; the sound of Lux' heart thundered as it began to quicken it's pace. Just as Ryan pulled back Lux put an arm around his shoulders then quickly pushed Ryan back, "The hell was that for?"

"You looked like you needed it. I don't freaking know." he stuttered as he hurried out of the room, a dark blush across his cheeks. But in his hurry, Ryan didn't notice that along Lux' cheeks was a darker blush as well.
