[CLOSED] and tomorrow-

[taiken blair ballad]

Taiken looked up at the menu, her red bangs falling just above her eyes. "Hm.." She mumbled, swaying back and forth. She was always so indecisive when it came to ice cream and frozen yogurt. And clothes. She read over the list again, then looked back at the guy behind the counter.

"Uh I want a strawberry shortcake." She said with a smile, running her hands down the skirt her brother had designed. It was just like the one on his witch, all poofy and pretty. She took it from him, handing him her money before walking over to her table. She stuck her spoon in it, humming before taking a bite.

Damian, feeling hot, decided to cool himself down with ice cream. An almost fight in the alley had him pumped. He was ready to swing, but of course the guy backs out. A huff of air emmited from his lips as he opened the door to Frostbite. A smirk pulling at his lips when he read the name. Looking around, he spotted a couple of families and then a girl all alone. Cute, but young. He walked over to the counter. "Just give me a chocolate shake." His hand already pulling a five out of his wallet. "Keep the change." He shrugged, taking the shake from the man.

His eyes danced back over to the red head, before he sat down at a table that was only a few away from her. He wasn't one to go after younger girls, that was always Khole. Damian sighed. Who needs love anyway? All I want is a war He took a giant gulp from his shake, letting it freeze over his brain. It helped to calm down a bit. His mind was no longer heated for blood lust. Of course it wasn't really blood lust he went after, he just went after for a fight.

Taiken bounced in her seat a bit, putting her headphones on. She scrolled through the songs on her phone -a phone her brother had barely been able to afford, but had gotten her nonetheless- and chose one. She took another bite of her treat, her eyes catching a boy sitting a few tables away. She smiled, then looked back down at her white and red swirled yogurt. She was terrible around boys, and he looked old enough to be her brother. Which meant he was old enough to shoot her down in a heart beat. Not that she would ever get the courage to talk to him anyways.

She stared down at the text from her brother, telling her he would be working late and to go to a friend's house if she could. That worried her. Something must be wrong. She closed it out, pulling her earphones down around her neck. She opened the news app she had on her phone, and the headline scared her. 'FIVE DEAD. MURDERER ON THE LOOSE.' She turned pale, quickly closing it out.

Damian contuined to drink the shake fast, 'freezing' his brain over and over again. After the shake was gone, he was cooled down. Back to his relaxed, nothings bothering him stage. His eyes glanced over to where the girl was sitting. She seemed suddenly upset. But was it his job to step in? No. Should he do it? No. Was he going to do it anyway? Yes. Damian laughed as he mind fought back and forth between what could happen. You can't live on what if's

"Excuse me.. Are you okay?" Damian asked, standing at the edge of the table where the girl sat. He looked curious, as if he truly wanted to know what was bothering her. And he did somewhat, the other part could care less. But he had seen her glance his way, and that had intriguied him at first, her looking is dispair just gave him an inventation. Not that he thought anything would happen between the girl and himself.

She looked up as the boy walked over, and a normally talkative and bubbly Taiken retreated into her shell, leaving the awkward and quiet one to pick up the pieces.

"Uh.. Nothing. My brother just spooked me. He's not happy unless he's picking fun at me." She mumbled. Her brother and her always pretended not to get along, but they were thicker than thieves. No one could get them apart.

"I can see your tummy." She said, then immediately regretted the outburst. 'Idiot! Oh my gosh!' She thought, then pointed to the button that had come undone on his shirt, hoping he didn't think she was terribly strange. Her appearance told everyone that she didn't care what they thought, though. She wore her brother's purple and black skirt, a tight black camisole under a corset. She had on black and purple striped leggings, and boots that laced up to her knees. Her hair was in a ponytail, a few strands framing her face. All she needed was a witch's hat, and she would be her brother's sketch.

"Oh.. okay" Damian shrugged, laughing when she pointed out the button. His fingers fumbled to get it back together. "Damn buttons.." He mumbled, but button down shirts were what he normal wear, along with jeans and a pair of shoes. He made sure to look clean, but his style was not extreme. He looked to the girls outfit. It was cute, unordinary. "Do you mind if I sit?" he asked, pulling out a chair across from her. "I'm Damian, by the way."

He was more open with people when he was calm and relaxed. His mind went back to his first day arriving at an orphanage, and meeting his roommate, Khole. Khole had grown into being Damian's older brother. Khole knew how to keep Damian calm. Had learned all of Damian's tricks, and Damian didn't mind. Khole was the closest thing to family that Damian had ever known. Finally, he sat down in the chair. His elbows placed on the table, he leaned on them, looking at the girl. "I'm sorry if I'm intruding.."

"I don't mind if you sit." She said with a smile. "I'm Taiken." She took another bite of her frozen yogurt, then began to scoop the rest of it out of the bottom of the small container. She never got much, it usually made her sick. But she liked having it occasionally.

"You can only intrude if there's more than one person. And it's just me here." She got up, walking over to the trashcan. She threw her small cup way, then walked back over to her seat. She took her earphones off, setting them on the table next to her phone. Her phone vibrated again, and she glanced at the message.

'Tye dye?' She unlocked it, quickly texting him back. She guessed he was worried since she had forgotten to reply to his last text.

"So,what do you do?" She asked, rotating back and forth in her seat.

[damian cole sullivan]

Damian watched as she scooped the last bit of her yogurt and then threw it away. He inhaled deeply, and leaned back in his chair, relaxing more back in the seat. "In the mall at Areopostle.. Not very interesting." He chuckled a bit, running his hands through his bed head. This girl had to be at least four years younger then him. Which made her illegal. Damian cursed in his head. She was so cute too.

"What about you? School?" He assumed, unless she was a dropout, but she seemed to smart for that. A sigh rolled off his lips. He began to wonder what the girl thought of him. If she thought he was a creep. But if she thought that, wouldn't she have made it obvious? He rolled his shoulders, deciding he would sit there and talk as long as she wanted him to be there.

"That's cooler than my brother. He's just a librarian. How boring is that?" She smiled, putting her phone and earphones in her bag. She looked over at the boy, thinking it was a shame he was so old. He was really cute. But he probably had a girlfriend by now anyways. He was too cute not to.

"Yeah, School. It's kinda boring. We're always going over the same things. I guess kids around here aren't very bright, huh?" She stopped rocking in her seat, hoping she didn't offend him. "Not like, people like you.. People in my class.." She mumbled, then looked down, biting on her lip. 'This is why I don't talk to boys..' She thought, chewing on her lip.

"I know a pretty cool librian, when she's there." Damian laughed, thinking back to when he had first met Drew. It was the quiet little book store. Drew had thrown him out for knocking down a couple of shelves. The girl seemed put off by him. Maybe she was begining to think it was weird sitting here with him. He hoped she realized he wasn't one of the creepy guys. Even if though she was quite cute, not that it was really a sexual attraction, she just seemed like a nice person. But it didn't mater right? He wouldn't ever see her again right?

He laughed as she tried to explain what she meant. "Oh no, I've done plenty of stupid things, but I'm pretty sure everyone has done something stupid before." She had a cute personality. He scratched his head thinking, what a terrible thought. This would never happen. His eyes raised from the table to her face, and then connected with her eyes and he quickly looked away. "And uh, which school do you go to?"
