Of course he couldn't help the fact that he had been wandering around. Sven had been gone, and Riku was not the most entertaining host. Besides that, he really hadn't been very tired. So he easily snuck out of the window and back onto the school grounds. He just needed to get into that building.. He needed to know what was inside of it. He could feel it calling to him... Or at least, he thought it was.

The ashen haired teen had finally entered the building and began looking around a bit. Of course he got plenty distracted by all the books. Seeing their histories were always so fun to look through. He was unaware of how long he had been doing that when he felt the moth in his ear. A small disappointed look crossed his face before he sighed and waved the thing away from him. Fine. He'd go back to the house. But he would take his sweet ass time doing it. Finding himself very easily distracted by pretty much anything. Really, this guy really needed someone to tug on a leash to get him moving or something.

Eventually he made it back, climbing back up and into the window he had snuck out of in the first place. Sven was not doing very good, he could tell that much. He was very weakened. Perhaps that was a good thing for him. Maybe he would only have to listen to some harsh words instead of harsh treatment. Sei stood there, crossing his arms over his chest. "You.. Should take better care of yourself."

Sei was totally prepared to be choked or strangled or attacked in some way as he was yanked over into the other's lap. Not that he really minded the punishments, as he often earned them. But a bit of surprise caused the teen to blink as the other male held him. This was... Weird.. Even for him... Had Sven really been that worried about him? He couldn't really understand that thought.. The boy's head tilted a bit to the side in his confusion. It had been a long time since they had seen each other, had he worried over him during that time? Or had he thought him dead? Was that why he was so relieved now?

Sei made a small noise as he was pulled down with the other male, mentioning something about promised and rest. But why? He wasn't really all that tired, unlike the one behind him. And it wasn't like he was Sven's slave either. Still, the ashen haired male lay there in silence as the other fell asleep. He ran through all the possible way he could get out of his grasp and go back to what he was doing, but the more he pondered it, the more his chances of success dropped. A small huff left him as he gave in and closed his eyes. Still, it was there, itching in the back of his mind. This darkness. He could feel it trying to claw its way up from the hell below. How long would it be before it finally broke through? Would they even be ready to deal with it?

Morning came fast enough. Somewhere along the way, Sei had fallen asleep in the other male's arms. Still, the sun woke him, creeping through the window and across the floor, just gingerly reaching towards him until he woke. The male stretched a bit and scooted out from the arms that held him. The teen debated whether or not he should just try and find the man a kitten, or maybe a teddy bear. Sei had attempted to leave the room, but something held him back, so instead, he just moved to a corner and sat there, waiting on Sven to wake up. He looked so odd sleeping on a bed like that. He supposed he was just far too used to them both sleeping on the ground somewhere. Still, he could see it there, the darkness, clinging to the other male, shifting around him, clinging to him like some obsessive lover. He had always wondered how it worked, and why he could see it and sense it in the way that he did. But no amount of searching had ever given him answers. So here he was, still on the search, but simply awaiting for the ability to actually get up and continue what he had started...
