Of Ruffles and Roses~Dan Lee~

[URIEL ELDRICH]

"Haven't I already said? Devil is homophobic, and he can't hurt Uriel no matter how bad of masochists we all are. Because hurting Uriel would end up hurting our non-physical beings as well... So he's gotta go after the other involved party. You should have heard the din he was making when... well, you get it." Angel sighed and sat down, putting the vest on again. Angel was one to easily get cold, and thus any little bit helped. Even if it was wrinkled from being unworn and left in a heap in the sand. Angel smiled pleasantly, hearing the fact that Uriel was warming up again, metaphorically of course.
"Uriel should be ready to emerge shortly, just give him some time. He's a little shaken by the fact you've seen us, he didn't want you to know."

[DAN LEE]

Dan nods standing up shaking his head making the images in his head vanished as if they were never there. He was so tired, but he had managed to stay up for as long as he could and nothing could change that now. "Well it was nice talking to you..." He was exhausted but he wanted to see Uriel again, and he wasn't about to move at all, until he saw him, because he was the only one he was concerned about except the few parts of him that were still causing him some difficulties. "Well I can't understand what is going on inside of me right now..." he was whispering to himself looking up at the one who looked like Uriel, but did not sound like him. None of them did, and he was so scared about it, but then it faded, and he didn't have to worry about it, Uriel was the one he cared about and nothing Uriel did could change that. He wasn't even scared of the two other sides, but he really didn't like the fact that he was hated by one of them but then again so was Uriel for the most part. "Tell little devil boy, to pull the two by four out of his butt..." He turned and looked away, looking up at the sky. He laughed about saying that, because he knew that it was true, and little diablo, needed to get his head out of the ground and look at what was around him.

[URIEL ELDRICH]

"Oh my, it seems he's angry... I'll let you deal with him. Heh." Angel said, waving as he disappeared into the depths of their mind.
Uriel emerged with an exasperated sigh. He flopped down on the sand, trying to keep himself from crying. "Damn it," he whined, "I didn't want you to know... Why does he have to be such a jerk? Damn it. I'm sorry, really... I don't want them around, but... I can't seem to get rid of them after I got them...." The pressure in his head turned into a full blown headache and the ashen blonde boy gave up, moaning in sadness and pain. Still, he kept the childish tears from spilling, much too Angel's commentary's joy. Why... why was it always like this? Were Angel and Devil really that against him having friends?

[DAN LEE]

Dan moved towards Uriel leaning down picking him up. "Who cares what they say...hehe I'm your friend and more nothing can change that..." he held the boy close to him laughing at what he had said. He couldn't believe he had said that to someone who wanted to kill him, but he also wasn't about to let them get his way of being friends with Uriel. He hummed to himself, just running his hand through the kids hair letting him cry. 'He has so much going on...but I won't leave him I know that much that idiot can't make me leave...he has no strength to do that...' he looked down at Uriel smiling at him. "Cheer up I'm still here aren't I? Don't you think if they really scared me or whatever I would have left already..." he knew he didn't want him to know but it had not really bugged him, except for the things that he had said.

"Oh well ya know I am always here for you..." he sighed and closed his eyes, and he wondered why he felt so annoyed by them and then well he was a bit dizzy, and he eventually opened his eyes not caring about them for the moment the only concern he had was that he cared about Uriel and he wanted him to stop crying.

[URIEL ELDRICH]

Uriel, again so much like a child, burst out laughing. The sound rang out across the beach and the ocean above which the sun was rising with a perfect reflection mirroring its movement. A bird started calling out a clear bright song, another answered. It was impulsive, but Uriel couldn't stop himself. "Friends. You called us friends," he paused to grab Dan by the shirt collar and drag him down to the right height, "Friends aren't like this." The smaller boy pulled the other into a kiss. Uriel broke it before either of them opened their mouths, releasing the taller boy with a gasp for air. "Err... I'm sorry. I've got no idea where that came from. We can still be friends, that was just umm... friendly banter.Yeah, that's it." Uriel smiled nervously as a blush spread across his face again.

[DAN LEE]

Dan smiled and laughed himself. He knew this kid was the one thing who would make him happy, and had kept him happy. "Thank you Uriel..." He laughed again and then leaned against the rock rubbing his eyes, trying to wake up. He hadn't been completely awake when he had threatened to fight the devil side to Uriel, and so now he decided he should actually wake up. "Are you sure you are alright? They didn't do anything to you?" he was asking out of concern and care because he really cared about Uriel and he didn't want to let them hurt him.

"Thank you again..." he was thinking of something in his past and then it faded because he was so worried when that thing had happened and he knew that he had to deal with all of that. "So what to do now?" he groaned putting his hand on his side, it hurt from laughing and couldnt' believe that he had to deal with and he wanted his friends to come around, but the only friend he had managed to keep was standing in front of him and they had become more than friends over the last few hours and he was liking that more than when they had been friends, but yet he still kinda missed that friendship they had.

[URIEL ELDRICH]

"Erm... no problem, I suppose." Uriel cast his gaze back behind them, wondering vaguely if anyone had noticed them missing. If so, they'd be in for hell when they got back. He wondered how kindly the camp smiled on queers... he took a crack that the kids would be delighted to have something else to tease them about. Oops. Sorry, Dan... heh. Still, Uriel felt no regret.
"If they hurt me, they'd only be hurting themselves. Don't worry, Devil and Angel are completely harmless," the ashen blonde boy protected his other selves.

Uriel yawned, once more laying back in the sand. Shiroi came to land on his forehead, she'd conveniently disappeared in their more intimate moments, and was just now reemerging from her sword sheath. Her white feathers were puffed out against the morning chill, but still she found the will to fly over to him. Dan asked what they should do, Uriel said the first thing that popped to mind: "Sit on a potato pan, Otis." Okay, that was random... now onto a more plausible idea, "Shall we go back up? They might be missing us."

[DAN LEE]

"Who cares we really don't have to go back..."He knew it wasn't like anyone was missing him, and plus no one really seemed to like either of them and plus he had more fun being out here without anyone else, because he liked being with him and just Uriel. "But if you want to go back then we can..." He was so not wanting to go back but he knew he had to and he could do nothing about that, since it was one against the other and one had to give in, and it might as well be him to be the one who did it.

"Oh well We can go back..."he had said that already but he might as well have said it anyone, just because he wanted to and he really wanted to get them to realize that he wanted to agree with Uriel and never really care about it and well he was so unsure about it, and he cared and he wanted to be with Uriel and he wasn't about to go back and be teased. "I just really don't want to go back...because well I don't want to be teased...and what not... " he barely wanted to have to go back but he knew he had to if the other one wanted to, so he nodded as if he was okay with it.

[URIEL ELDRICH]

"I'm fine with whatever you like. As long as I'm with you." Uriel moved closer to his...friend? Could they really be called friends? Lovers maybe...? But that wasn't all they were. He moved closer to 'his mate.' Doesn't sound quite right with their personalities, perhaps 'his partner' is the best option here. But that could be taken in the lightest sense of the word so maybe that doesn't work either. Next option is two sappy; 'his beloved.' Perhaps it's best just to call them by name at this point, but this shows no level of trust... so the best term to fit here is... 'his bonded.'
Uriel moved closer to 'his bonded,' grateful for the warmth and friendliness. The ashen blonde boy stretched an arm across Dan's chest and hooked it around opposite shoulder. Uriel smiled distantly, contented in his and 'his bonded's' little world.

[DAN LEE]

"that sounds good to me..."he smiled and wrapped his arms around Uriel, he loved the warmth he was feeling. He didn't want to move away from where they stood now...He cared to much and he loved this place, and he cared for who he was with. A slight breeze came off the ocean which cause him to shiver slightly, but he barely cared because of how close he was to Uriel, and the heat the two were creating together. To him that sounded a bit wrong but yea it was really true and nothing could change it.

"So do you wanna go back or stay out here?" he knew that no one in the camp would miss them if they stayed out here, so why did he really ask that, maybe because he was tired, but maybe that wasn't it, maybe there was something else going on. He was cold, and he was shivering, but he was beginning to warm up as the breeze faded. His anger was what had kept him warm before, but he no longer needed that even if it was really hard for him to control.
