firy ember & Passion [darrien]

[Raven Darkwood]

It hadn’t been long since raven first arrived at the house of night, only two weeks ago he had arrived in a bloody mess battered and bruised, beaten to a pulp by his father. And even though the marks were gone, he had still felt that way, he had spent most of his time in his room afraid to be around others, he had managed to sneak around during daylight when everyone slept even though it bothered his eyes and skin, and that was what he was doing now at 1 pm, he was sneaking around the empty campus a little intimidated by how empty it looked, it was like a ghost town during the day and he still found the place bizarre the only comfort he had was his new kitten Simba, well it was actually the other way around here at the house of night it’s the cats that chooses their owner so Raven was basically the kitten’s pet. Simba was a menace to both cat and fledgling society he had already received a complaint from some former 4th student about Simba whacking their cat with its paw and running off with the cat’s toy mouse.

The teenage fledgling thought about it and frowned there was nothing he could do, he continued to walk until he made it to the Auditorium he turned to look behind him and found Simba there Raven had found the Cd player and went towards it where he put in a cd of Katey perry’s last Friday night the instrumental version. Raven was extremely shy, he didn’t even tell his room mate Kenny that he could sing and play some instruments, although to be fair Kenny never even asked he was too conceited to care. Raven bit his bottom lip he felt anxious even though he was alone, and exposed the room was so big he realized if someone came in then he wouldn’t be alone…Raven gulped “maybe we should go back to bed Simba” he spoke worried that he might come across another student… the fledgling thought about it and decided he would practice quickly and go back to his room and sleep and wait for Kenny to leave for class before pretending to wake. Raven bent down and pressed play and the music started playing and raven started to sing along with the music.

Darrien woke up with a start. As he rolled around, grunting with early morning clouds still clogging his mind, he looked at the clock. "1:00?! Really?! I am not supposed to be awake right now! Ugh!" Ugh, now I can't go back to sleep... Stupid internal alarm clocks... Darrien thought to himself. As he stood up in just his boxers, he reached over and pet his fat cat laying on his bed. He threw on a pair of pajama jeans, knowing he needed to look normal, but wanted to be comfortable. Throwing on a black wifebeater and headed out the door.

Imma head down to the R3ec room. Maybe somethin goods on tv... Darrien thought to himself as he ran down the hallway. As soon as he got close to the Rec Room, he heard a voice coming from the room itself. As he listened to the song coming through the door, he noticed it was a guy, singing Teenage Dream by Katy Perry.

Darrien cracked the door open and saw the guy dancing around, singin to himself. Darrien started singing along very quietly at first. As the door opened more and more, he raised his voice accordingly. Sooner than he wanted it to, he was singing at full volume, door wide open, standing there looking like an idiot. "You make me feel like I'm livin a teenage dream, the way you turn me on. I can't sleep..."

[Raven Darkwood]

Raven had finished singing and he sighed softly out of relief, he had finally got it done, what had suprised him was when he saw someone singing to teenage dream. He gulped nervously and the moment he saw Darrien Raven felt all self conscious he didn’t want anyone to see him, it was worse enough that his roommate Kenny raven looked at the stranger watching him the guy was slender and he had to be at least six feet tall, his eyes were blue and Raven felt his heart raced as he looked at the handsome guy he had no idea who he was or what to do. Although raven thought for a moment he was pretty hot and he really wanted to run his hands through his luscious hair. Raven looked stumbled back timidly.

Simba who was watching everything had seen Raven’s reaction and wondered what was up with his fledgling for a moment, noticing the red fledging Simba knew that raven was freaking out because his phobia of people, the kitten frowned for a moment and then ran to raven and ran up his body which caused the fledgling to flinch, finally perching himself on Raven’s shoulder the kitten began to puur softly in hopes of reassuring his pet fledgling. Simba had noticed Darrien’s red mark and knew he was a red fledgling the kitten frowned, he didn’t like the red fledglings much, he thought they smelled weird. That and they were kind of creepy. He watched the red fledgling just in case he was going to try anything. Raven on the other hand had taken steps back until he slowly hit the wall, he had no idea what a red fledgling was, of course that was because he hadn’t even began to attend his lessons even though he was long over due.

Raven gulped nervously “Hello” He stammered nervously feeling self conscious, raven tried to muster up the nerves for a smile, but failed. He slided down the wall to a sitting position to which Simba had tucked in his tail narrowly having his tail get crushed, the kitten let out a sigh and knew his fledgling was close to freaking out. Simba knew he had to find some way to help his pet fledgling, after all having a coward for a pet fledgling would look bad on him, and he would loose his coolness factor. The kitten puured a little harder trying to get Raven to calm down and not freak out so easily.

When this failed Simba scowled at the red fledgling curious as to what the fledgling was doing out during the day anyway. After a few seconds Simba decided he didn’t care if the red fledgling would try his mind rape tricks on his pet fledgling there would be trouble, because no one messed with his pet and gets away with it.
