Night of a thousand stars

Bleu held his hands up," Look, Aly, we have a perfectly good explanation," Laharl nodded quickly, almost frantic," Yeah, our parents hate me and sent Bleu to bring me back to their estate." Bleu gulped," Yeah! Yeah! But I don't want to turn Laharl in," Bleu patted his brother," So, we'll just stay here until the heat dies down," Laharl looked at Aly with a pleading puppy face, and so did Bleu. "Pleasssseeee"
 
"Why would your parents hate you? You live in an estate? Bleu, You want me to house Laharl like an escaped criminal?!?!" She looked at her digital clock, it was 6:30 AM. She would have slept in if not for them awakening her. Now she really didn't want to sleep, what with them here. She sighed "How long is this going to be?" she relented, but then she added "But don't think that if I say yes I don't need an explanation." She sat on the bed looking at them and Rocco eyed the newcomer warily.
 
Laharl sighed, a little sad," It's fine, Aly, I understand if you don't wanna do this," he laughed," I mean, we just met a few days ago, and why would you house someone you barely know?" Bleu looked at Aly," Look, you're the only person my brother seems to trust. You're his first friend, and I live so far from here, I don't know anybody." Laharl stood up," How about this? We'll live in my apartment and just come to visit when things are shaky with our parents?" He said. "Yeah, cause you just wanna be with your girlfriend!" Bleu teased, poking him on the cheek. Laharl grumbled things toward Bleu, and punches him in the stomach. "My parents don't exactly hate me," Laharl started," They just don't approve of my existance..." He mumbled, trying to make it sound not so bad," Ya see, ever since we were little, the family had five kids. I was always expected to walk in my older siblings' footsteps, as great businesspeople that made a crapload of money. Thing ways, my grades weren't the best and I was always the 'stupid' one in the family. I would climb trees while the rest of the family studied or practiced playing the violin or whatever. Soon, my parents noticed this and sent me away, saying I was a failure. They thought life out here would straighten me out, and now they want me back. But I like it out here. Especially when I get to meet someone like you," Laharl said the last part kinda quiet, half hoping she would hear that and half hoping she wouldn't.
 
Aly blushed "I never said no...you can stay, but if my stepfather finds out he'll flip". She nodded then said "I mean, I don't want you to go away. You're the only one I actually care about here..." she felt her insides squirm a bit at hearing how she was his only friend and that she was the one he liked to meet.


She breathed calmly, trying to steady the rapid thumping of her heart.
 
Laharl gasped," Oh thank you Aly! Thank you!" he said quietly, remembering Alay's stepdad outside the door, and hugged her. Bleu stood for a moment and joined in on the hug. The brothers let go and Bleu said," Thanks Aly, really. You won't regret it. You won't even know we're here." The two brothers sat on each side of Aly, Laharl on the left and Bleu on the right, and the two each gave Aly a kiss on the cheek at the same time. Bleu crept into Aly's closet, and before going in too, Laharl gave Aly a wave as they went into the closet.


(should it be supernatural? Ur tha one who made the rp, so I dunno :D )
 
((I'd really like a supernatural story, love stories alone aren't quite as fun. Although I must say it's starting to sound a bit twilight-ish xD Whatevs, what do you have in mind))


Aly was suddenly hugged by Laharl, it made her cheeks warm and she hugged him back. Then, Bleu joined in on it. They released their hug and Aly. Then they Both kissed her on the cheek and she became flustered. They dissapeared into her closet. She sat dazed for a moment before she shook it off and walked over, opening the closet. "Wait a minute! Laharl, if you want to stay here than you need to do some schoolwork at least, and then if you're good you're family won't force you to come back. Got it?". She then looked around, "I'll call you guys out in about an hour, then we can do something that doesn't involve me locking my friends in a closet." She wasn't sure it was necessary, but it wouldn't matter in a few hours when her stepfather went to work, thats for sure.
 
(oh, I havent seen twilight cuz ever since I saw the trailer I creeped me out xD so I dunno if I was doin twilight references or not. I was thinkin of makin some sort of magical door in aly's closet instead of living in a little closet :D )


Laharl gave Aly a reassuring glance," Got it," he gave her a thumbs up. Inside the closet, Blue mumbled sone things and a low gloomy light came out from the closet. Bleu stepped out with a "ta da!" stance. Bleu opened the closet and instead of a closet there was a liitle room with a bunk bed, tv, and other various teenager stuff. Laharl looked at Aly with a cheeky smile," Cool, right? You're the only person besides us can see it, feel free to visit any time, kay?" Bleu gave himself a pat on his back, obviously proud of what he created. The red haired boy nidded," And soundproof, too, to your father won't even notice!" The two Dustbringer brothers waved and stepped into the little room. It looked like they were walking through a mirror, and the space inbetween them rippled like water. Laharl grinned, looking at Aly warmly as he left. They knew the plan. In about an hour, they would talk business.
 
Aly was shocked "Wait! What? How is that possible?" She stepped inside the magic closet, figuring it was some kind of joke. But the closet had everything in it, she could've swore it was her closet that she'd been in countless times. "Laharl? How does this even work? Are you like magic or something?" She was incredibly confused at this point. She didn't know what was weirder, having two boys live in her house, or having a magical closet in which two boys lived in.


((This kinda reminds me of a reverse fruits basket. Are you familiar with the manga/anime fruits basket is? LOL))
 
(aw man, yeah I love fruits basket. KYO ISH THA BEST!)


Laharl laughed," I guess it could be called magic. Bleu's alot better at it than I am though." Laharl pointed towards his brother. Bleu nodded," It's simple, really, I just had to cut out the fabric of your closet and replace it with this," Bleu pointed towards his little artificial room," and when someone else sees the room, only the first layer of your closet comes back, creating the illusion that there is really nothing there." Bleu tried to explain the best he could, but couldn't help but say a bunch of technological nerdy stuff. When Bleu was talking, Laharl crossed his arms and nodded, agreeing with his brother.
 
She laughed "Well aren't you just a rice ball in a fruits basket" she ruffled his hair and giggled "You're just full of surprises" She still couldn't believe that this 'magic' thing was real. She released her hand from his hair and tried to stifle a blush, realizing her t-shirt was the same color as his hair, she didn't mean for it to happen shr must've picked it out subconsciously. "She hoped he wouldn't notice. "...uh...I better go, I'll be back when my stepfather leaves. She stood there for a moment before hugging him, real quick, then left.
 
Laharl blushed slightly when she hugged him. When he saw her leaving, Laharl sighed and nodded. Bleu closed the door and Aly's closet instantly became like a normal closet again, except for a little tiny summoning symbol in the corner. Laharl went over to a plump green colored bean bag and flopped down on it. Bleu gave him a raise of his eyebrow and grumbled. Bleu sat on the bottom bunk, staring at his brother," Alright Laharl, something's troubling you." Laharl looked over to Bleu and laughed faintly," Haha... am I that transparent?" Bleu had a grin," Yeah," The little red haired boy ruffled out of the soft abyss of the beanbag, and sighed, irratated," Aly... She's on my mind alot. I mean... almost all the time." Bleu looked at Laharl questioningly," And you say you're not in love?" Laharl shit Bleu a glare," I'm not in love and never will be!" Laharl snarled and threw a pillow that was lying on the ground toward his brother. Bleu swiftly dodged it gracefully and snickered," So, you're saying I can take her?" Laharl shook his head angrily," No!" Bleu chuckled and got up to make dinner," You're one confusing little man, Laharl..."


(wait, did aly hug laharl or bleu? If bleu, change it so bleu blushed. Cuz imma confuzzled xD )
 
(No, you're fine, it was Laharl)


Aly walked out into the kitchen casually, and got some breakfast. She reminded herself to ask Laharl and Bleu if they would like anything, unless they had magic breakfast, too. She poured a bowl of cereal and she saw her stepfather walk in, a bunch of papers in the crook of an arm, come in "Hey Aly, you're up early" She chewed amd nodded "Yeah" she shrugged "Couldn't sleep". He nodded and she could see the bags under his restless eyes "Well, you probably shouldn't fall in ponds then" Aly protested "It was one time! It won't happen again!" she scarfed down more spoonfuls of cereal.


Her stepfather said nothing, getting his papers together and grabbing a breakfast bar. He stayed for a little while to read the paper and drink tea, and after about a half hour he looked at his watch and decided to leave for work. Aly looked out the window to see his car leave the driveway, and with that she ran into the hallway that led to her room. She opened the closet. "Okay guys, you don't have to stay anymore if you don't want to" she grinned "In fact, why don't we go do something today?"
 
Laharl jumped out, happy and cheery,"Yaaaay!" He said, waving his arms in the air. Bleu stepped out calmly, closing the closet door with little sound. Bleu had combed his hair neatly and his clothes were ironed and non-ruffled. Bleu liked to stay clean, polite, and upright, due to being raised by a very rich family. Laharl was almost the opposite. He was indeed clean, but his hair was a messy bedhead and his clothes were a white polo and a red tie that matched his hair. (like in his pic) Laharl yawned, still kind of drowsy. They had eaten earlier, so no need to have breakfast. Both brothers liked to get up early, but for different reasons. Bleu got up because he was organized, to make breakfast and maybe study, usually for a cup of tea or coffee. Laharl liked getting up because he was a hardcore gamer. He played various online multiplayer games online. Laharl liked to cook too, but not as good as his brother. Laharl laughed," Sooo, what do you wanna do?"
 
"Wanna go somewhere?" She suddenly had an idea "Teach me how to skateboard!" she grinned "Do you have a board or something? " She was bouncing of the walls in excitement. For the first time she would have someone to hang out with for the weekend. What's more, it would be a whole lot different from her lazy weekends alone reading or drawing. It would be a lot more extreme, something she'd always yearned to do, she'd even dressed in a blue fitted t-shirt and jeans for the occasion. "Unless you have any other ideas..." She looked at him questioningly and ran a hand through his messy hair to smoothen it.
 
Laharl blushed," Y-yeah, we can go skateboarding, I-if you want to, yeah!" He said, nodding. " I always have a backup just in case one gets messed up," Laharl quickly ran into the closet-room and brought out two boards. One was a bright red like his hair, with little black swirls designed on it. The other was a perfectky good white one with silver designs that mimiced the first one. The red was tattered and worn, and the white was unscathed. Laharl handed Aly the white one and got out some pads. He smiled," Safety first!" he nodded. Bleu sighed," I'll drive you two kids to the skating rink, then call me when you're ready to get back." Laharl snickered," Bleu's not reallyy into skateboarding, don't mind him, right to go, Aly?"
 
Aly frowned at the kneepads, pushing the offer away. "No way! I don't need it. I can handle whatever happens", the whole idea of doing something like this set her ablaze and she could barely contain her excitement. Today was her day to be a rebel and she was relishing in it. She than made her way to the door, but then stopped "Wait! Bleu, you have a car?" she Wondered why her stepfather hadn't noticed an extra vehicle if that was the case She looked out the window and into the driveway.
 
Bleu waved his hand and laughed," No no, I didn't drive here. It's over at Laharl's apartment," Laharl looked and Bleu, bewildered," Whaat?! You never asked!" Bleu shrugged. Laharl then looked at Aly," Are you sure? Well, i'll bring them just in case, then," he stuffed the pads in his backpack, which also held some water bottles and other various crap. Laharl gathered his things together and slapped on a black cap with red "Evanescence" letters imprinted on it. He skipped a bit as he went out through the door. Bleu walked out calmly as he smirked back at Aly.
 
((;____; Evanescence...dat music *glomps*))


Aly shrugs and makes her way outside, she looks back at the boys "Well, c'mon guys, it's not like I know where you live, she then thought back to the beginning of this whole thing "In fact, I don't even know how you two know where I live".


Should this have bothered her? She really was too happy to have Laharl and now his brother around, they were her closest companions, even if they were creepy strange rich kid magic users, and Laharl in particular, the thought of a whole day with him made her heart flutter.
 
(heck yeah xD )


Laharl looked away with a deep blush," I-It's not like I hacked into the school's database to find your address or anything by putting in and reverting the surver code to off and crossing through the firewall in the form of a trojan minor..." He stuttered, trying the best he could, but Laharl was never good at lying under pressure. Bleu rolled his eyes and started walking down to Sparrow street, where Laharl's apartment was located. Bleu tossed up some silvery keys, two were new and shiny while one was old and looked like it didn't unlock anything. He chose one of the shiny keys and jiggled it into the side of a little dark blue car with five seats. It was fairly small, but the inside was alot larger. There were two seats in the front, one driver and one passenger, and three in the back, which were two window seats and a small "bumper." Bleu laughed nervously," So, the thing is, I have alot of stuff to get done, sooo.." At first, Laharl didn't see anything wrong, but then he saw it. Bleu had a big box lodged in the passenger and various other boxes crammed in the back. The trunk was full and there were exactly three seats. Here was the real problem. Bleu was the only one liscensed to drive, and there was barely enough room in the back, where the left window and the bumper met. Laharl sighed. He's have to sit with Aly, crammed in the back seat, for an entire 30 minutes to get to the skating rink. Bleu shrugged," Got lots of stuff to get to people," Recently, one of the deliverymen at the Dustbringer factory had gotten sick, and Bleu volunteered to do all the delivering for about a few days until the man is better. Laharl sighed again. This was gonna be a long car ride..
 
((OMG! I nearly died laughing upon reading the first part about the computer hacking))


((I think theres a lot more activity on your RP right now, since it's a group RP, so I'll just leave this one alone unless theres a lull in the RP and I getz bored n stuffz))

Aly made a face upon hearing Laharl's excuse for that. That was by far the strangest thing she had heard. Upon arriving to Bleu's car, Aly stopped suddenly, seeing the meager amount of space within the car. "Uhh...could we walk there instead?" she honestly felt as if Bleu had planned it this way on purpose, she wasn't very amused by it. She looked at Laharl, it wouldn't be so bad sitting next to him... really close to him... for a half hour while she had to control the awkward swirling vortex of emotions that she'd rather leave unchecked...okay, maybe it wasn't so great.


She took a deep breath, she really liked Laharl, it wouldn't be so bad being close to him. Wasn't that what she wanted? Why else had she wanted to hang out with him today. She took a deep breath, "Y-You first..., unless we could walk there instead, that is..."
 
Bleu shook his head. "This car goes at an amazing pace. We'll get there in thirty minutes if we drive, or two hours walking," Laharl was usually a kind of lazy-bum, so he immediately picked car. He was in shaoe, a little skinny and athletic, and never skipped the chance to laze about. Laharl looked at Aly," Whatever floats your boat," he mumbled, shrugging. He went inside the car, buckling safely. He patted the seat next to him," C'mon, Aly~!" He sang, eager to get there early.


(oh crpa short post :<)
 
Aly smiled a bit, but she decided that it would be alright, she hopped into the car beside Laharl, pressing close to him so she could shut the door beside her. His warm body against hers made her pulse quicken but she made herself comfortable, relishing the excuse she had to be really close to him. She looked out the window then asked "So are we ready?"


((Shortpost is short like longcat is long. Perhaps when more stuff happens it'll be longer))
 
Bleu nodded and started the car. It awoke with a low rumble yhat shook the ground, but it quickly calmed down and lowered to a quieter tone. Bleu drove along quietly, and Laharl saw trees going by. Within minutes, the car sped to an amazing pace, going at swiftly and fast. No one could feel the car moving, for the vibration of the car was even too rapid. Laharl closed his eyes, and his cheeks burned as he was so close to Aly. He jolted as his leg accidently touched her's, and his heart hurt. His tension didn't last long. Laharl was quick to tire, and he quickly feel asleep, not noticing his head lazily leaning on lump on the car, only inches away from Aly's face.(Mooohaha I am quite evil xD )
 
((D: xD ))


At first Aly blushed but then she smiled, she leaned her head against the window and found herself comforted by Laharl napping beside her, she sighed and hoping Laharl was too fast asleep to hear, she blushed and said "uh Bleu...d-do you think Laharl likes me?" She didn't think he would, why would he? She looked to the front seat as Bleu drove through the road.
 
Bleu drove along coolly, holding softly a dark steering wheel. He chuckled a bit," Good thing he's asleep or I'll never hear the end," he smiled," Laharl has pretty complicated emotions. Being denied by our parents years ago, he doesn't really get the term 'love.'" Bleu syarted the radio, and a calm jazzy melody came on," He says things he doesn't mean. And even denies any feelings," Bleu sighed, he was bathing in the glory of talking about his brother without being nagged," Aly, I have a hunch he has feelings for you. Though, if you and Laharl don't work out, i'm always available." He laughed at his own comment, not sure if he meant it or not. At Bleu's last sentence, Laharl mumbled something about chairs in his sleep, dreaming about things.
