Could Be His (Stosuh)

"Uh... hey guys..."

They all looked at him. "Oh, you made it!" Daniel smiled, pulling him into a hug. Hosuh pushed away from the him.
"Y-yeah..." He looked at Daniel's friends. "Who are th-these guys?" Daniel looks behind him.
"Oh, the girl, Her name is Annabelle, but she prefers Ann. And that.. uh, that's... he won't talk to you, don't worry." Daniel said it as if Hosuh should've been scared of him, and to put it short, he was.

He was easily taller than him, with muscles that could be seen through several layers of clothing. Hosuh couldn't see his face, but could almost feel his frown. "Pleased to meet you?" He sounded uncertain. Ann hopped from her crate and held out a hand for Hosuh to shake.
"Hey! You must be Hosuh. Dan has already introduced me." She welcomed him, with somewhat of a nervous giggle, looking back at the hooded friend that Hosuh was staring at. "Don't worry about him, he may look like he's all dark and brooding, but really, he's a big softie if you get close enough. Sadly, I'm not close enough..."
"Who is then?" Hosuh asked. He wasn't thinking when he asked that. An almost silent 'tch' came from the tallest of the four.
"What Ann is trying to say, is that you shouldn't get your hopes up on me, I'm not worth your energy and you are worth mine." He snarled. Hosuh didn't even know the guys name, and he was already being attacked?
"S-sorry... I didn't think I'd offend you.." Hosuh stuttered out. Anna let out a belly laugh and slapped the guy on the shoulder.
"Aw, come on, be nice!" He let out another 'tch' and pushed her away. "Ow!" Hosuh and Dan ran over. He knee was bleeding. "It's just a graze, but that stung, Stephen!" Stephen? Hosuh looked back at him. Right, Daniel called him that earlier....

"S-Shouldn't you apologise?" Hosuh squeaked. "She was only trying to get you to be nice..." 'Stephen' looked him dead in the eye.
"So what? You have a thing for pinky Over there?" He snapped. Suddenly, someone came barrelling down the sidewalk on their bike, heading straight for 'Stephen'. The collision sounded painful, but both the rider and 'Stephen' seemed fine.

Wait... 'Stephen' has purple hair?

Hosuh was shocked. The other two seemed to ditch the dye, but 'Stephen' wore it proudly, and so did the other guy. "Jay, you dick, you almost ripped my hoodie!" 'Stephen' yelled, getting up from the ground and dusting himself off as if it never happened. The orange-haired guy just laughed.
"You owe me a new bike, though, so we're even." 'Jay' stated, kicking his wreck of a bike infront of an oncoming car. Damn was 'Stephen' solid.

Daniel finally piped up. "Oh, Hosuh, That's Jay. I guess I should tell you that-" Hosuh cut him off.
"Stephen.... I'll call you purple though, Stephen is hard to remember." Hosuh snickered. Stephen's face went a deep purple.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT NICKNAME?" He bellowed.
"Well, your hair is purple, so, I'll call you purple." Hosuh explained. A simple explanation.
"IM NOT A FUCKING ANIME CHARACTER, YOU CANT JUST NAME ME A COLOUR!" Stephen seemed to like to yell a lot.
"Your hair says differently." Hosuh commented, earning an 'Ooh' from Jay and Ann.

It took a little while for the argument to be resolved, which included a lot of Purple yelling, unsurprisingly. After a couple of hours, the movie they had went to see finished, and Hosuh was walking back with Jay, as Daniel had walked with Purple to make sure he was okay, and no one had a clue where Ann went. "So, Hosuh, What do you think of this place so far?" Jay asked, randomly. "I mean, I know you've only just got here, but hey." Hosuh thought for a second.
"Well, it's a quiet sort of town, unlike New York, though you guys seem pretty nuts. What is with Purple anyways?" It had become a habit of his to call him Purple, but Jay didn't seem to pay much notice.
"Oh... Stephen hasn't always been like that. It's only recent... He used to be a really sweet guy, no hair dye, no muscles, just a normal guy. Well, summer break changed all of that, and no one knows how or why. Anything else you want to know?" Jay responded, sounding surprisingly normal.
"Well, id like to know why you dragged me into seventeen different alleyways." Hosuh mentioned.
"Oh, don't worry about it, it's nothing." Jay had a sort of scary feel about him, but Hosuh ignored it, Jay was a nice guy.

They approached a crowd of about three or four guys surrounding these two others, chanting 'Fight' over and over again. Jay tugged on Hosuh's sleeve. "I think I took a wrong turn, let's go back..." Hosuh didn't budge. Whatever was going on, he wanted to stop it.

Hosuh took a step forwards. "H-Hey!"
