JAYDEN

"Ridiculous," he growled lowly, leaning his back against the wall of the room. His feet however, were completely off the ground, and technically, he was hanging from the ceiling. Why was this? Because he was taking his shift tonight at the Zero Gravity Room. Groaning, Jay tried to make himself relax. It wasn't as if anything bad happened out here, which was nice, but a bunch of idiots were always screaming, swerving out of control and hitting walls. That was precisely why Jayden had decided to stay in his corner by the ceiling. Not many people would be flying this way, with any luck.

He closed his eyes, trying to make the pounding in his head vanish with the light of the room. Of course, he had to stay somewhat alert: if someone was going to get in trouble then he had to do his job as security and help them. A long sigh escaped his lips, and idly, he tried to focus on something else. Unfortunately for him, the thoughts that entered his mind were not pleasant ones. No, not in the least: in fact, they were memories he dreaded, from when he was younger....

"Where's Will?" he asked, unable to take the hard stares of the others any longer. It was clear from the moment he walked up to them that morning that something was wrong. Usually, they would stare at Jayden strangely, so that part wasn't unusual, but they'd stop after William came around. Unfortunately, today William wasn't there waiting for him, and so the others glared… hostilely.

"He finally speaks!" one of them hissed, his tone filled with more venom than a rattlesnake. Jay tensed visibly, suddenly not so sure he wanted to know what was going on with his best friend, Will. The one who spoke, the ringleader, took a step forward; the other two quickly imitated his action. Jayden backed up, finding himself against his own locker, and gulped as the three of them blocked any means of escape. Sure they weren't great friends, but last Jay had checked, they were friends by extension at the very least. A bead of sweat rolled down the side of Jay's face as their eyes scanned him over, as if they were contemplating how to strike him down permanently.

Finally, the ringleader came down close to Jay's ear, the deadly smirk he wore etching itself into the young Darkhart's memories like a piercing needle; something about the ringleader specifically was more unnerving than the rest, as if something behind those pale gray eyes was not human, and could shred him to bits if it wanted to.

"William's dead," he said maliciously.

"Nngh," he muttered aloud, clutching the fabric of his shirt over his chest tightly. That was where everything had gone downhill for him, how he'd turned into... whatever he was now. A growl escaped his lips as he buried the thoughts back into the deepest chambers of his mind. His job right now was not to wallow in self pity. His job was to look out for any trouble.

And it was with that new determination that he gazed out at the room with eyes devoid of emotion.

Bitter and HOT SPICE, I’ll give it only to you now, My taste that makes you dazed He was floating not really moving just floating. He liked this room him and Eifi had come here a lot since they moved here for an espeon she seemed to like floating around in the anti-gravity room. However she did tend to use her psychic to keep them both from moving around a lot more to protect him from getting hurt then anything. Athrun's bright green eyes were focused on the roof no certain spot just the roof. He smiled and closed his eyes he could almost remember it laying on his bed back on earth, his mother down stairs making dinner and his father down the hall writing his novel on the computer. That was suppose to be how it was, that was ment to be his life until he was what eighteen, nineteen or even twenty when he moved out from home. But now instead he lived in area-eleven and his parents, well they stayed on earth. They were never rich but when his parents had said your going to area-elevn he had got all excited about them starting a new life. However they never told him they wouldn't be comming until the last moment when they handed him over to a guard " MUM, DAD where are you going COME BACK, you can't leave I WONT LEAVE YOU BEHIND" he could have screamed and shouted all he liked. His last memory of them is watching them wave goodbye through a window as he clutched his mothers silver locket she had given him in the car and told him to hold onto it cause she thought she might lose it. " Eifi, I wanna look around" his sweet voice held no trace of sadness like you would think, he wouldn't let himself cry his parents wouldn't want that. He felt her powers fade and with that he he began to move himself across the room to the more open area he had discovered it was sort of like swimming so he remained floating on his back and just gave small kicks with his legs. Eifi came up and nuzzled his hand while he gave her a scratch behind the ear, they were close Eifi was sort of like his mum now. As they came into the larger part of the anti-gravity room Athrun spotted someone a young boy not much older them him. He raised his none busy hand and waved with a bright smile on his face, new people were so interesting. . words

JAYDEN

Jay's eyes slowly scanned the room. Nothing out of the ordinary yet: kids and Pokemon screaming and swerving out of control but not getting hurt enough for him to be concerned about. Another bored and irritated sigh escaped his lips as some dope faceplanted, and he turned his gaze back to the center of the room....

And that was when things got weird. It was a simple wave from another stupid kid, but that wasn't the problem for Jay. It wasn't in his personality to wave back, or even indicate that Athrun was there, but he did.... and why? Because there was something way too eerily similar about the fellow blond. Jayden mentally cursed himself; socializing was not something he did well nor did he like it.

He brought his hand down to his side after his own wave ended, and glared pointedly at Athrun's Espeon, as if to ask, "What's so damn special about you?!" Jay didn't understand why people and Pokemon stuck to each others' sides like glue. You'd think any sane person would get irritated to no end, but nope; apparently he was the crazy one for not liking his Absol enough to keep him around twenty-four-seven.

Though now, as Athrun approached, Jay almost wished he had his Absol here with him; he was nervous, terribly so... but his facade was intricate, and literally quite impossible to break. There was no way Athrun would get to him.... right? He shook his head lightly at the thought. No, it wasn't going to happen. Jay had one rule in life, and that was "Friendship, love, hatred, that's all a lie. The only person you can truly trust is yourself..."

Bitter and HOT SPICE, I’ll give it only to you now, My taste that makes you dazed The boy he had waved at, waved back which caused Athrun to smile his normal happy smile. Now Athrun was one who smiled a lot and to him he loved the very idea that so many things made him smile it ment he was alive and human. He could never understand why someone would not like to smile and be happy, I mean yes there were things that could make you sad and hurt you but you had to push forward and hope for the best or at least thats what Athrun thought. He looks like he needs someone to talk to Athrun thought has he rolled him self over in the air and kept up the same kicking pace getting closer to the other boy, Eifi was right behind him however she was not to happy about this. Once Athrun had made his way close enough to the other boy he stopped his kicking and smiled brightly at his unknown waver " Hi, I'm Athrun and this is Eifi" . he pointed at the epseon that had found her way infront of Athrun as to protect him from the unknown. His bright green eyes looked over the boy he seemed to be around the same age as he thought but the way he was sort of standing well floating, he seemed grumpy. And to him that just ment he could use a friend someone to make him and laugh and smiled and Athrun was just the person to do well in his head he was. He glanced a look at the pokemon infront of him and could tell she was going to be difficult like she always was. He scratched behind her ear again " Eifi play nice, you can't be a sour puss all the time" he giggled as the pokemon tilited her head and gave him a strange look. Athrun loved Eifi and Eifi loved him it was just that she got a little to protective around new people and seemed to like to think that everyone was a threat. He looked back at the boy a small goofey smile on his face. words

JAYDEN

Jayden started to list profanities that fit himself right in the moment as Athrun swam towards him. Idiot,dumbass,fucktard! Now he's approaching you! And as those those thoughts continued, Jay couldn't help but scowl, his teeth baring like a dog. He wasn't in the mood to chit-chat with some happy-go-lucky blond kid.

Of course, it was his luck that he would attract irritations like Athrun towards him, and so with a sigh, he let the boy introduce himself. Eyes dis-focused and uninterested, Jay stared at the boy for a few moments after his little greeting. What about him looked familiar? Well, Jayden figured it was that he'd seen Athrun around the station, but... then again... he just couldn't shake off something else.

"Wipe the grin off your face," he said lowly. "It's irritating." Quiet after that, and it was oddly a louder sound than the screaming of the other people flying around the room. Immediately, he tensed up with discomfort. What was wrong with him today? And it was when he glanced up again that it hit him. Athrun did remind him of someone....

"Will..." he grumbled, eyes closing tight. The image of where Athrun was standing turned into his long-gone friend. They were entirely different in appearance... except for the eyes. They had the same, stupid, kind, happy eyes. Jayden groaned, clutching his head as if it was aching. Stop thinking about William you idiot! he scolded in his mind. He's dead. D-E-A-D. You heard it yourself three years back!

Bitter and HOT SPICE, I’ll give it only to you now, My taste that makes you dazed He tilted his head and looked at the boy his eyes held no hurt from what he said. He just smiled more He doesn't seem to like smiles, maybe he doesn't seen many Athrun was conviced that this boy just needed a smile even if he had said to stop it. It was like his mother she had always told him to stop smileing at certain things and as along as he kept that smile soon enought they would both have a smile and a laugh. " What's your name" his sweet voice was at a whisper like it was some secret question he had just asked. He could feel Eifi still slightly presses against his chest. He had no idea why he wanted to talk to this person, there were heaps of people in the room. In fact he knew some of the other people, but this one he just seemed like he needed a friend or maybe that was just Athrun being well Athrun. He didn't like when people stood to the side and pretend that no one else was there. Everyone needed friends and someone to make them feel special on the inside he was dragged form hsi thoughts when he heared him speak again. " Oh your name is Will, thats a nice name" that same smiled on his face well at least he had a name or at least he thought that was what he was trying to tell him. Athrun spun around a little to take a look at the whole room there were a lot of people in here most of them all around his age. Was this were everyone came to hang out he would have to remember this for when he made some friends at school. He noticed that the silver locket had come out from under his shirt, drifting in front of his face he quickly pushed it back under his shirt he never wanted to lose it and the fear he would was always there. " Do you go to school, what grade are you in" he always had a question to ask. words

JAYDEN

Jayden quite literally jumped up when Athrun called him Will; oh no, no, no, no, no! Just thinking the name hurt, hearing it out loud hurt more, but to be called the name of his late best friend? That tore through him like a needle. It was the one and only thing that still could get to him. Fists clenching at his sides, Jayden had to keep himself from roaring in frustration at Athrun. With one shaky breath, he spoke, his voice laced with bitterness and disdain, "My name isn't...." he trailed off, wincing as the name nearly slipped out of his mouth. "It's Jayden. Jayden Darkhart." he concluded.

Another frustrated sigh escaped him after that, and he tried to go back about his job and ignore the blond kid. He'd go away eventually, right? Clearly though, the young man before him wasn't done asking him questions. Jayden's eyes narrowed suspiciously, Why do you want to know? I'm sixteen, and I take advanced college cours--."

A crashing cut him off though, as suddenly, a Pokemon appeared at the entrance of the Zero Gravity Room. Absol... his Absol. Eyes narrowed to slits and scythe glowing above its head, the doglike Pokemon seemed to have attacked something. Jay let out a growl, pushing Athrun out of the way with a sweet of his hands.

"Absol! Spot!" he ordered, pointing to the corner of the room where he'd just been floating. The Pokemon stared at him, eyes flaring with rage that Jay almost always seemed to reflect.

"Sol!" it growled, before complying and walking to the specified spot. Jayden followed the dark-type with his eyes, shooting daggers with the ice cold glare he gave to his "partner." Other people around the room stared at Jay in shock... and it was then that the boy saw what had had happened. Absol didn't launch an attack at random. A small looking and quite terrified child lay shaking just before another, fainted Pokemon.

"What happened?" Jay called out, his voice laced with clear annoyance. A timid answer came ringing out moments later. So, Absol had acted out of being taunted by a Sneasel. Jayden's fists clenched at his sides; he'd have to punish his Pokemon. But in the meantime, the kid was probably in quite a bit of shock, and his Sneasel needed to be looked at. "Someone take them out of here! he ordered.

"Why not you?! Aren't you a security guard? Isn't that your own Pokemon too? It shouldn't be running around if it's going to attack children!" a voice shrieked. Jayden felt his blood boil, mostly because he knew the shouting was well deserved to be directed at him. Still though, he wasn't going to let some common idiot think they could get away with scolding him.

"Excuse me, ma'am, but this kid should learn not to taunt a Pokemon known to cause disasters. Do you know a thing about Absols? They only appear when something bad will happen, but rarely are they directly involved. You cannot play with fate. This happened because it was meant to. Now then, are you going to leave this kid shaking on the ground?"

He sneered as the woman seethed and the rest of the crowd muttered amongst themselves. It didn't take long after that for the two beings in need of medical attention were taken out, followed by a mob of other scared youngsters.

"Ah, quiet," he sighed, walking over to where his Absol lay in weight. A low growl escaped him when his Pokemon met his gaze with an unamused glare of her own. "You idiot, don't you dare make a fool of me! Do I have to remind you who saved you from a certain man named Zane Darkhart?! All I asked was for you to behave yourself. That was it! You fucking idiot!

Bitter and HOT SPICE, I’ll give it only to you now, My taste that makes you dazed Athrun taped his lip, Jayden but he had just said Will maybe he ment to say someting else. He smiled brightly at him and stuck his hand out " Nice tog meet you jayden". Athrun couldn't help but want to be nice and sweet to someone he just met it gave him a chance to make a new friend, no there was no chance THEY would be friends. In Athrun's mind there was no chance because a chance could mean he would fail and he just wasn't up for that. He tilted his head when Jayden mentioned his Schooling " Oh, so I won't see you at the school....shame we could have sat together at lunch". Suddenly a loud crash caught Athrun's attention, he watched as a pokemon an Absol, he had seen a picture of it in a book once before. As Jayden pushed him back he felt Eifi use her psychic attack to hold him in place, he could see by the way she was watching the scene that she would not let Athrun get involved. He didn't understand why she never let him get to close to things like this. His bright eyes watched the scene unfold. From what he could gather Jayden's pokemon had gotten into a battle with some other kids pokemon. And right now Him and some women were fighting. Stuck floating as Eifi kept her attack on him he just pouted at her "Eifi, let me go please" Eifi just ignored him watching the scene until she noticed the lady take the boy away, one the attack was dropped Athrun rushed over to Jayden. " What happen, jayden.....is this your Pokemon" he smiled sweetly as he felt Eifi nuzzle up to his side her eyes trained onto them, she was always on her guard. Watching waiting for something to happen she was like his mother now, and he enjoyed it. words

JAYDEN

Absol seemed to have no reaction to the scolding, which only made Jay more enraged than before. How could he have such a disobedient Pokemon so suddenly? The thought that maybe, maybe that Sneasel had said something horrible to Absol didn't cross his mind; nope, he was too caught up in his own disgust to even give Absol the benefit of the doubt.

"Moron," he growled lowly. "I should beat you. But that'd just make me as low as you've been acting!" It didn't matter how much he was tempted to go through with that threat in the end after all, because the stupid blond kid followed him. Why didn't he leave like everyone else? Could he just be a bigger idiot than Jay initially thought? A scowl made its way onto his lips as he answered Athrun's question: "Yes, unfortunately. This is my stupid Pokemon."

Absol merely blinked up at Jay from the insult, and then turned her attention to the Espeon at Athrun's side, rolling her eyes at it. Of course.... a psychic type. Not like she'd want to converse with another Pokemon anyway, but an Espeon? Wondrous.
