Fantasy Supernatural Teenage Drama

[EtherealDarkling]

"I-I-is h-h-he yo-your.. B-baby!" He stuttered, regretting that a more amiscible response couldn't form in his mind. He gazed at the toddler, seeing his adorable face. His guard was lowered and his emotional blocker faultered slightly, letting the baby's amazement to wash over him. Setting his tray down next to him, he went straight for the poor guy. "C-can I, you know... Hold him?" He asked timidly, cheeks bright red.

 

[RyanJXavier]

Ryan raised an eyebrow at Dexter not understanding what he said, "What?" He looked at Nico, "Sure, you can hold him". Nico was so happy! Two emotion queens and he is in their presence! He would bow down if he could, but he could barely even walk! Nico clapped his hands again smiling.

Ryder groaned as his teacher screamed at him, tuning her out as he watched the seconds tick by on the clock across the hall. It wasn't his fault he was late. A kid had gotten lost, so he stopped to help him out- not that the teacher cared. After a severe scolding, she finally let him go to the cafeteria, where he quickly spotted his circle. Hastily purchasing a sub, Ryder strolled over and plopped down on the other side of Miuna. "'Sup," he greeted, wasting no time in unwrapping his meal.

Jordan let Dexter take Nico out of her arms, and she smiled at the boy, then at Dexter, "Um... To answer your question... He's not Ryan's baby..." She muttered. She then looked at Ryder and smiled in greeting at him.

 

[RyanJXavier]

Ryan's eyes widened, "..Oh you thought-". He looked at Nico then back at Dexter. Ryan laughed nervously, "No he's not my baby". Did people really think he would...do stuff and get a baby at that age? Wow, the media probably influenced their thoughts. Darn Sixteen and Pregnant! That was a show right? Well, it sounded like a show. Ryan mentally shrugged the thought away.

 

[EtherealDarkling]

Dexter gently picked up the baby, holding him up on his side while Nico hung on his shoulder. Jordan fortunately brought him back down to reality and for that he was able to snap out of his temporary daze. "I-Oh! Right. That'd be ridiculous, sorry! I don't what got into me.." He said, clearly embarrassed at how much he felt he was messing things up with how the people around him should perceive him. Nico began to climb on him and then proceeded to start biting his face. Dexter giggled inaudibly as he did so. He also noticed Ryder who had decided to join them. "Oh hey Ryder-die. You get it? Ride-or-die; that is if you actually know the meaning of that phrase." He stated in a quirky pattern of speech. Maybe it was because of the baby.

Jordan looked at Ryan feeling his emotion, and smiled reassuringly at him. Then she frowned and turned to Miuna and sat down beside her. "Your eye bugging you Miu? Has this happened before?" She asked concerned.

 

[sox]

Ryder gave Dexter a displeased glare. "Ew. That's gross. Throw that thing away." He never knew how to handle children. What do you say to them? How do you keep them happy? He just didn't know. He was only child, after all. "Want some sub?" he offered Dex, breaking it into halves and extending one towards the giggly fellow.


Miuna shook her head and looked out the window, watching the clouds. "It's been harder to tune out the spirits lately. I don't know why. Ever since I used that much power in the infirmary, it's been developing at a rapid rate. I should just rip it out." She reached up to her eye, as if to do just that, before realizing the absurdity of her thought process and letting her hand fall to her side. "I'm not gonna do that. That would hurt." Running a hand through his hair, Miu glanced back at Jordan. "Eat. Otherwise you'll starve and die." She dropped a piece of turkey onto the girl's hand, nodding in satisfaction.

 

[RyanJXavier]

Nico smiled and clapped as he hugged Dexter, "Woo!" Ryan bit his lip looking at the ground when Bella went up to them and kissed Nico on the head, "I'll see you later". "Ba!" Nico said to his sister. Bella smiled and hurried away. Ryan waved at Ryder and looked at Miu, "Hello cookie queen! How are you?" The teen glanced at Nico noticing his interest in Dexter.

 

[goldcat16471]

Jordan laughed nervously and looked down at the turkey Miuna gave to her. "Thanks, but don't worry about me Miu... Do you think that maybe you should go talk to the nurse about your eye? Or even one of your teachers. I don't think what's going on is normal, but... Maybe they have a way they can fix it? I hope so." She slowly took bites of her food, but wasn't that hungry.

 

[sox]

Miuna waved in return, sporting a cheeky grin. "Doomed for obscurity. How about you?" She tossed the phrase so casually that it almost sounded normal and not totally pessimistic. Facing Jordan again, Miu shrugged. "I don't think that will work. The counselor gave up on me seven years ago. She figured it would be better if I just went on my own way. Apparently I'm not good enough for her help." In truth, the counselor likely had a good reason for not helping Miu, but the thought still rubbed her the wrong way. "But that's okay. I'm not hurting anyone yet. I think."

 

[RyanJXavier]

"Psh doomed for obscurity. I doubt that Miu" Ryan said. Nico rubbed Dex's facial hair and laughed. It was new to him considering his original guardians never had any. Nico looked at Ryan. Ryan didn't have any either...or did he? The baby stared wide eyed at Ryan's face then looked back at Dex getting distracted by a new foreign item called............................eyeglasses.

 

[goldcat16471]

Jordan frowned and shook her head, "No way... They couldn't just give up on you..." The thought gave Jordan some resentment, and she couldn't understand why they wouldn't help the girl. "Miuna, what about yourself? Are you getting hurt...!? How are you not good enough for help!? That's not excuse! What the hell!?" Jordan felt anger rise up in her, and she looked at the others in disbelief. Then she grimaced when she remembered Nico was around, and hoped that nobody screamed at her for 'cussing' in front of a baby.

 

[sox]

Miuna's eyes widened at Jordan's outburst. "Hey," she murmured, tugging at the girl's sleeve as a resigned smile crossed her lips. "It's okay. Sit down." The fact that Jordan cared so much about her touched somewhere inside Miu. No one had ever stood up for her like that. The action almost brought tears to her eyes. "I'm not hurt. I'm fine. Don't I look fine? Sit down."

 

[EtherealDarkling]

Dexter returned the same glare with rapid succesion, accepting the sandwich with smile at the same time. "If there's anything I'll be throwing, it'll be shade boo." He mumbled as he munched into the sandwich, his gaze still on him. When Bella came by to say goodbye to Nico, he finally sated his curiosity. "Oh so she's your sis huh?" He grinned, tickling Nico on his stomach.

 

[RyanJXavier]

"Dah?" Nico looked at Jordan and smiled. "Eeee!" The baby clapped his hands. She was very awesome indeed. Ryan looked at Miu and Jordan. Jordan was obviously in a much different mood from the sound of her voice. "Juliet, I beg your pardon?" Ryan asked to lightheartedly remind her that Nico was there. Though the baby really didn't seem to mind her outburst. HE LOVED IT!


Nico laughed when he felt Dexter tickle him. "So you think he's my baby, but not her's? Okay I see how it is Dex" Ryan joked. "Just kidding! But yes, Bella's Nico's older sister" He added.

 

[goldcat16471]

Jordan took a deep breath, closed her eyes for a moment then opened them and sat by Miu. "You're right, I'm sorry." She meant that for both Miuna and Nico. Then she spoke directly to Miu. "It's just horrible that that's happening to you, and no one can help you. It's not right. Have you heard of this happening to anyone else? Could they fix it?" She looked at the girl.

 

[sox]

Miuna took the girl's hand, enveloping it in both of her own. "I'm the only person with my power who's lived past infancy. But it's not a bad thing, I think. I'm getting stronger. That's good, right?" She gave Jordan a reassuring smile, trying to lift her spirits.


Ryder scoffed and took a bite of his sub. "As if your skinny white a** could throw shade," he muttered under his breath, scowling. The sub tasted horrible and he was still hungry. Ryder sighed and stood up, tapping Dex's shoulder. "Ay, let's get some pizza."

 

[RyanJXavier]

Nico looked at Ryan, "Dah dah dah DAH DAH!" He waved his arm around at Ryan's direction. Ryan pulled out the bottle and gave it to Nico who smiled and drank his milk mixed in with special safe chemicals. To Nico, the milk had a different taste, but it was DELICIOUS! Ryan listened to Miu, "Stronger isn't good, it's great!" Nico looked at Miu and smiled, "Da buuh!" The baby gave Miu a thumbs up then resumed drinking the delicious liquid.

 

[goldcat16471]

Jordan looked at Ryan slightly amused then back at the girl sadly, but tried to put a smile on for her sake and nodded, "Yeah, That's good at least. Just... If you're ever feeling... In need of help, you can come to me, okay? I don't know if I can help you with your powers, but I'd love to lend a hand if I could." She could tell that Miu was relaxed, and that went through her too, however Jordan's own concerned emotions came through the most. She really did hope that Miuna would be okay.

 

[sox]

"As long as you're here, I'll be alright." Miuna leaned over and pecked Jordan's cheek, earning an eyeroll from Ryder and a chorus of aw's from the next table over. "Thank you." Giving Jordan's hand a squeeze, she let go and finished her sandwich, sighing in content.

 

[RyanJXavier]

Nico felt the swing in Jordan's emotions, "Weeee!" The baby's arms flung at Jordan's direction while his eyes bore excitement and glory. "Jabadah!" Nico so far has made two attempts to say Jordan's name: Doda, and Jabadah. How was he doing? He hoped to get it right next time around. Her name was really challenging for an awesome infant like him.

 

[EtherealDarkling]

Dexter gave Ryan a grin and a shrug as if to say 'whelp, that's what I thought'. Dexter smirked at Ryder, catching his slick comment. "That's cute for you sis, but your clothes don't match so..." He drawled, taking another huge bite from his sandwich. He sighed as he decided to go with Ryder, disappointed that he had to say goodbye to Nico for now. "Oh so you're trying to fatten me up huh?" He remarked, recalling his recent statement.

 

[goldcat16471]

Jordan smiled from Miu's words, and laughed softly shaking her head from the other table's aw's. Though still concerned, Miuna's words had lightened her mood, and she was glad the girl knew that she had somebody there for her. Jordan then looked at Nico, and amusement gleamed through her eyes. "Jabadah, huh?" She made an act of thinking it over then nodded, grinning, "I like it!" She laughed a little more watching the boy.

 

[sox]

"My clothes flatter my muscular build," Ryder defended himself, pointing towards his toned abs. At Dexter's second comment, he snapped his fingers comically. "Well, darn. You unraveled my secret plan. Guess I've got no choice but to kill you now...." He winked at Dexter before handing him a tray with a slice of pizza. "...with unhealthiness incarnate."
