Kodi rubbed his cheek again when he realized that Zane had shivered due to his touch. Perhaps he thought it to be disgusting? He said he was bisexual, but with certain people's touches anyoen could feel disgust. However, his worries were quickly disolved when Zane leaned against him again. He gave the blonde a rather idiotic grin, happy that he wasn't the cause of the problem. Or at least it wasn't disgust.

He noticed Coren sign something out of the corner of his eye, but ignored it. It was obviously meant for Zane, otherwise he would have translated it quickly. "What are your hobbies?" he questioned, looking to Zane then Coren, proving that he was talking to both of them. "I think mine is listening to music. Maybe singing too. I've been told that I'm a fairly good singer. It's embarassing to sing out loud though." he said.

"Heh. You do that often. It's starting to grow on me. I think it's kinda cute." he said, grinning. "So there are sibling disagreements! It was a small one, but at least it's there. That just means your relationship is functioning correctly." he said, laughing lightly.

"I wouldn't ever get a tattoo in any of those places. They just sound painful. I couldn't get a big tattoo either. What kind of tattoo were you thinking about getting Coren?" he questioned, turning to the younger girl.

"I'd really like to be able to do Sign Language. That, and Japanese. Or maybe Latin!" he said, laughing lightly. "I can help you in Spanish. I'm acing that class. Plus it'll give us just another reason to hang out if we ever actually need one." he said.

He watched Molly carefully with his eyes, smiling brightly at the dog. He loved animals, really. "That is a lot of energy. I couldn't be able to do it. I'm a horrible runner. I'd probably fall flat on my face just trying to run." he said, laughing at himself. Of course, he broke out in serious laughter when Molly ran into Zane, then proceeded to plop down on his lap. "I love this dog!" he said, laying down gently on her hind leg, making it look as if he were laying in Zane's lap.

"Yeah. No problem. Both my mom and dad are off this weekend. If you want me to come over then they can meet Mercy when they drop me off, and they can have a nice long chat without any time restrictions." he said, smiling.

"We can all be loser dancers together then. Unless Coren ends up showing us up." he said, grinning that same idiotic grin that so often adorned his face.

[zane dante darvo]

Zane smiled back at Kodi, eyes glittering. “My hobbies? Well. I like doing art… I do play the piano, reading, writing, running, obviously, swimming, listening to music as well, uhhh what else? Zane thought for a minute, pulling a blank on that part. Coren signed. ’’As for Coren, reading, drawing, writing, swimming, soccer. Zane said smiling.

What? What am I doing? It’s probably something I do unconsciously, and don’t realize I’m even doing it.. Is it me smiling? Or something else? Zane said pouting slightly. What was he doing? He didn’t know. ’’Oh yes. We do have out fair share of fights. Who doesn’t. I even have fights with Mercy. ‘cept she usually wins. Which doesn’t seem very fair. She’s using techniques like she would a lawyer would. Zane said laughing. He ran his hand over Molly’s back.

Coren watched as Kodi talked. She signed quickly ’’She said something.. Girly. Like flowers. She will probably change her mind when she gets older though. I mean. I at first I didn’t want a Phoenix. But I saw a design of it and fell in love with it. I probably wouldn’t get a tattoo at those places, but then again, pain doesn’t really faze me one bit. The back is supposedly a sensitive area to get tattoos. Mainly the spinal cord area. But it didn’t hurt that much. But I'm thinking of something Tribal. I don't know what, yet. ’’ Zane said smiling happily.

”We’ll gladly help you with sign language, and It would be a great help if you could help me with Spanish. I am failing miserably. Miserably I tell you.. It’s depressing really. I should have taken Italian, well.. If the school had Italian. Or something. Something I already know. Would make life so much easier. Japanese is something that interests me too. It looks so… strange. And interesting. I really like it. Zane said chuckling slightly. He continued to run his hand over Molly’s side. Coren coming closer as well, petting her head.

’’She is quite a character. She is so affectionate, yet, if me or a family, even a friend are threatened, she won’t even hesitate to protect us. Zane said smiling. He smiled when Kodi leaned down and rested his head against Molly’s hind leg. He continued to pet her side. Zane’s hand grazed over Kodi’s hair. Blushing ’’Your hair is soft Zane said softly. His face once again flushing, he ducked his head to the side. He glared at Coren for her silent giggle.

’Yea. That sounds good. Mercy might, keyword is might, Drill you with questions, so be prepared. Then again she might not. I don’t know. Just thought I’d warn you ahead of time. Zane said, looking sheepishly ’’It’s really annoying, but she does mean well. I guess…’’ Zane said, He watched Coren sign ’’Apparently according to Coren, She can’t dance either. He said laughing lightly.

"You play the piano?! That's so awesome. Whenever I visit your house, you'll have to play me a song! Uhm.... Fur Elise! Or maybe you made up a song? That would be even better. And soccer is so epic. I would play soccer if I had enough hand-eye cordination. Sadly I don't....." he said, before grinning like an idiot. What he was saying was true, at the very least.

"Ah. So she's lawyering you? I knew someone who was studying to be a lawyer, and when we had a fight it was quickly resolved because I realized I was wrong. Or maybe I wasn't, and they just managed to make me think that I was." he said, before similing brightly. He didn't care about things such as fights that happened during the summer. They didn't matter anymore. "Savanna wasn't being nice!" he said.

"If I was ever going to get a flower tattoo, I'd probably get a water lilly. I think they're really pretty. I wouldn't care if people thought it was girly either. Or I would choose the people who meant the most to me and find a flower that reminded me of each of them, and then get a bunch of flowers like that." he said, nodding. Kodi didn't mind if something was girly or manly. It was just who he was. It was that simple.

"Alright. I'll help you with Spanish, but I want to learn Sign Language and Italian. You know italian, right? You have an accent." he said, grinning. "And I'll also.... I dunno. I'm not sure what else I could help you with. I suppose I'll just owe you a favor, right? I need to know more things, so Sign Language and Italian will help with that. Besides, what if I go to Italy and I can't say anything?" he said, laughing lightly.

"I think I love this dog." he said, reaching back to pat her head. Of course, his hand grazed Zane's lightly as he reached back. He closed his eyes lightly when Zane said that his hair was soft. "I like when people play with my hair. You can if you want." he said, smiling brightly. Of course, as he wasn't used to being around Coren, he didn't notice her silent giggle at all.

"She can drill me with questions, and I'll answer them. I like talking anyways, and questions are simply an opening for conversation, right? I'm sure I'll like Mercy well enough. I just wonder if she'll like me too!" he said, before laughing again. "And that just means that we can all suck at dancing together. We can do things like the monkey and the shopping cart. It'll be hilarious. Raver party ahoy!" he said.

[zane dante darvo]

Zane burst out laughing. ’’Yes I play the Piano. I started learning when I was in Italy. My sister and brother have told me, well my brother before the huge blowout, that I was good enough to be a professional. I can play Fur Elise, Phantom of the Opera, some other stuff. I could play one of those if you wanted, when you come over, if you want. Coren loves soccer. She’s been playing it for.. three, maybe four years now. Right? He said looking at Coren. She nodded her head, her loose dirty blond curls bouncing against her shoulders.

He continued to listen to what Kodi said. He nodded his head ’’yep… Does it with Coren too. Zane said laughing. Again his cell phone buzzed on the ground. He reached for it. Again it was Mercy. Just sayin ok. ’’Sister’’ He put it on the ground, near Kodi. Away from Molly’s curious head. If she got her ‘paws’ on it, she’d chew it up. It wouldn’t be the first time, she chewed up a phone. Zane and Mercy have gone through a total of about six cell phones since they got her. ’’bit of advice when around Molly… Keep your cell out of her reach. She gets it, you will get a chewed up, saliva coated, broken cell phone. We’ve gone through about 6 cell phones since we’ve got her.. Zane said

Zane tilted his head. ’’I bet that would be pretty. Water Lilies are gorgeous. I might incorporate Kiki’s favorite flowers, Iris’s and Lotus flowers, into my next tat. I have an appointment in a few days to get it. I’m excited Zane said with a huge grin on his face. I too don’t give a rats ass if it’s girly or not. It’s a way to remember someone, if it has a girly touch, it does. he said continuing to grin. He tilted his head when he saw Coren signing. Zane nodded his head agreeing.

’’I… Don’t want you to feel like you… have to help me. I will defiantly help you with Sign Language and Italian though. Coren wants to help too. With the Sign language part. First off for sign language, you spell out peoples names. I’m going to start with you name. I’ll have to touch your hand. He gently reached for Kodi’s hand, ignoring the slight spark he felt. ’’For the K in your name you do Zane maneuvered Kodi’s hand so that it was doing a peace sign, then took the thumb and put it between the v the pointer and middle finger made. K. For the O. Zane made Kodi’s hand shaped like an O. All four fingers on his thumb.’’O, the D He moved Kodi’s pointer finger, it was shaped like a D now. ’’D, and I’’ Zane put Kodi’s pointer back into the O position and moved the Pinky finger, so that it was pointed up’’K.O.D.I. Zane said signing it himself. Zane said smiling. Ermmm Sorry Zane said after gently dropping Kodi’s hand “We can work with Italian later if you want. The first word to learn is Ciao. Hello.” Zane said softly You won’t owe me any favors.”

''Molly likes you too. She likes most anyone really. He blushed slightly when he heard Kodi say he could play with his hair. He hesitantly ran his hand through Kodi’s soft hair. Hopefully she won’t drill you with questions. But Questions are good I suppose. ‘’ Zane said softly, he continued to run his hand gently through Kodi’s hair, before pulling it away. He laughed when his new friend said they could do funny dance moves.

"I love Fur Elise. It's a really beautiful song. I go to sleep listening to it, but it always wakes me up when it starts to get to that.... you know. Where it gets deeper and more fretful. That, or it gives me nightmares, before it goes back to the sweeter part. It's like a spell that's broken. It's really amazing what classical music can do. I dunno. I'm the weirdo who can listen to classical music and the listen to raver music." he said, grinning.

"Alright. That's it. Coren, you're going to have to teach me how to play soccer. Try not to laugh too hard when I slip and fall trying to kick the ball though!" he said, laughing. He was honestly that bad. Sports were his worst subject, if they were a subject. That was why he didn't take any gym classes past the required one in Freshman year. He hated sports, but he liked watching them sometimes. It just gave him an excuse to jump on the couch and scream at something without looking like a total idiot. Of course, he did it in good humor. He didn't have much to be stressed over.

"Riiiight. My parents would kill me, and then I'd have to give Molly a stern talking to because I don't support animal abuse. I remember when I was at my cousins house this summer, and their dog was the same color as their tile, and I was coming off of the stairs and I tripped and slammed my head against the tile, and I ended up crying because their dog had yelpped, and I thought the dog had gotten hurt." he said, laughing at himself.

"You're getting another one? That's so cool. Maybe I'll go with you and get that sparrow on my shoulder. But I'm not sure how my parents would like that." he said, grinning. His parents would probably kill him if he said he had the ambition to get a tattoo. They were still upset with him about the nose piercing and the way he looked like he was a scene kid.

"No! I like Spanish. Well, the class is a little dull, but I like the language well enough. And I've got a good grasp on the language, and I like teaching. Besides, isn't that what friends do?" he said, grinning brightly. "I'll probably need both of your help with Sign Language. I suck at playing piano, so I'll probably be horrible at Sign Language for a long while too." he said.

Kodi let his fingers be easily manipulated until Zane was completely done. He made sure to pay close attention. He frowned lightly when Zane said sorry and dropped his hand. He didn't mind the contact between them. In fact, be believed he had a small crush on Zane. Of course, he wouldn't say that outloud, but still!

He repeated the signing a few times, his tounge sticking out in concentration, before he felt like he had an okay grasp on it. "That's so cool!" he said, making large and rather odd arm and hand motions, as if he were excited about some story that he was telling.

"Ciao? I think I like Italian more than Spanish. How much better does Ciao sound than Hola? It's like.... Sweadish v.s. German! It's like a smoother...... less hostile sounding version!" he said, grinning. His comparisons were indeed amusing at the very least.

"If she does drill me with questions, then that just proves that she really loves you and Coren, you know?" he said. He frowned lightly again when Zane once again pulled away. Was he uncomfortable with the contact? He would talk to Coren, but he wouldn't be able to understand what she was saying without Zane being there, and that would totally defeat the purpose. He sighed, biting his lip, his hand reaching up to rub his cheek. He was already in deep sh*t. He could tell.

[zane dante darvo]

“Then I shall play Fur Elise when you come over. And I totally understand what you mean. That song put me to sleep when I was younger. That song is maybe the one thing Kiki and I didn’t agree on. She didn’t like it. Said certain parts were depressing, all that stuff. I like it. I still can be put to sleep by it if I’m listening to it at home, late at night. he said with a soft smile, again running his hand through his hair.

His attention turned to Coren when she started signing, grin on her face. ’’Coren would love to teach you how to play soccer. She won’t laugh. It just takes time. I was horrible at soccer when I was younger. Zane said laughing. He watched Molly move her head, before putting it back on Zane’s knee this time. ''Which is why I don’t play it so much now. I’m probably good enough to be on the team. I just don’t really want to. I rather run. Maybe I’ll go out for Track or something. Oh. And you usually can’t tell unless you’re looking at Coren if she’s laughing. Her laughing is silent. So keep an eye on her. She could be laughing her head off silently and you wouldn’t know it.’’ he said giving Coren a look, who looked pure and innocent, giving Zane and Kodi that ‘who me?’ look. Zane burst out laughing, his hand resting on his belly.

When it first happened to me, Mercy understood. The second, third and forth time, this is my last phone. If Molly gets her paws on it this time I’m payin for it.[/b] He tilted his head, listening ’’yikes. I can’t imagine… well I kinda can actually, It was my head that shattered the window to the car in the accident. He said with a grimace on his face, shuddering at he pain he went through. It was almost like he could almost feel it again, it made him hold his head ’’you didn’t get seriously hurt did you? That’s kinda a dumb question.. You sitting, rather laying here talking.

He nodded his head happily, huge grin on his face, when Kodi asked if he was getting another tattoo. ”Yep I sure am. In a few days. My sister’s friend owns the place, I go to. I have consent, although I did get the Tattoo for Kiki with out her consent. Mercy was soooo pissed. But she understood. And said just as long as I asked, I could get a tattoo. If you want, I can take you with me. You can check the place out before you decide. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Coren signing. ’yea yea.. I’ll take you to. he said chuckling.

’’If your sure. Zane said about the Spanish. He smiled, watching Kodi practice the way to sign his name. He got it rather quickly; He thought Kodi would be a natural once he got started. ’’I would go that far and say that. You picked up the spelling part of you name rather easily. I think you’ll be a natural once you get started. I have a few books I can let you burrow if you like. Zane said with a smile, He patted Molly’s head. Italian is more fun in my opinion. Maybe it’s because I was born there and am a full-blooded Italian. I don’t know. I picked up English, Sign both very easily, although my accent has stayed put. It’s still heavy, it hasn’t lightened up a bit since I got here.'' Zane said. He failed to noticed Kodi’s confused expression when he stopped running his hand through his hair.

Zane nodded his head, agreeing with what Kodi said. It was true. It shows the She did care. Coren started signing. She could tell by the look on Kodi's face, that he was confused at Zane's actions. She could read people rather easily. She caught Zane attention by throwing a pebble at him. she signed You. tell. him. what. I'm. signing! Zane's eyes widened at her face. he nodded his head. ''I have to tell you... That according to Coren, she can read that you are confused by my...... actions, I guess you could say... I.. don't want you to feel awkward about it. I guess... When I was younger, I was told I was way too touchy feely... Thus... I don't want to you feel like... I don't know weirded out'' Zane said chewing his lip, brows furrowed, a frown on his face, he made a movement with his hands, then ran them through his hair, shrugging. Coren is good at reading people. She can read me like a bloody book'' Zane said with a slight grin. His hand moving again to run through Kodi’s hair. He smiled. He was falling hard for Kodi...

"Awesome. I can't wait to come over then. It'll be epic. One of these days we could have a sleep over and stay up all night watching Disney movies!" he said, grinning like an idiot. He was really a five year old sometimes.

"Alright then. I've got two teachers. One for Italian and Sign Language, and the other for Soccer and Sign Language. I'm going to have a lot to learn!" he said. Kodi loved learning, and being a teacher. It was fun. Of course, he didn't see being a teacher anywhere in his future, but for now it would be interesting. Perhaps he could be a phycologist? It would certainly be an interesting job!

"I'll have to remember that. No one is as innocent as they seem. But that doesn't mean we don't love them any less." he said, laughing. "I'll be watching you Coren~~!" he said in a fake creepy voice, wriggling his fingers at her as if he were some spooky disembodied voice hanging around.

"No. There was a really big red mark on my forehead, but I wasn't seriously hurt. Had a headache for a few days. And no questions are stupid or dumb. There are only dumb and stupid people. It's as simple as that. And I don't think you're one of them." he said, smiling brightly.

"Another field trip! Zane's sponcering this one. I'm doing the dance party and Coren is in charge of the soccer tournament. We'll be able to sit and watch Coren beat us to a bloody pulp in soccer while whoever isn't getting beat at the moment laughs on the sidelines." he said, grinning.

"Yeah. That's one of the first things I noticed about you. You could pull in a lot of people with an accent like that, male and female alike." he said, winking at Zane. Sometimes his personality was possibly a little flirty, though he didn't intend it to be as such. Or perhaps he did? It was like he wanted Zane to know that he did indeed like him, but he had never committed to an actual relationship. Heck, his only actual one was with a girl when he was five until he was seven!

Kodi's eyes widened as he listened to what Zane was saying, before he closed his eyes and let out a light laugh. "You had me worried that you were uncomfortable with it because I was gay!" he said, still laughing like a lonatic. "You don't have to worry about me being weirded out. Believe me. I'm pretty much touchy-feely too. Besides. I'm a pretty honest guy, so if I felt uncomfortable with what you were doing.... you would know!" he said, grinning.

"Coren.... you might find a job in that some day. Like on that show Lie to Me? You could be one of those people! I bet they make a lot of money!" he said, getting excited about the idea.

[zane dante darvo]

Zane smiled again listening to Kodi. ''Sounds like a plan'' he said laughing. ''I haven't seen may Disney movies. Well not in a long time, at least. I’m trying to think of what ones I have laying around at home. Zane said thinking, his mind coming up with a blank. He’d have to look at home. He smiled and continued to listen to Kodi. He nodded. ”Yep two teachers. I think you’ll do fine with soccer

Zane laughed. Coren pretended to look horrified, before laughing silently. ’’that’s true. It’s hard not to love her. She’s so likeable. I’m afraid I’m gonna be beatin guys off her with a stick when it comes to her dating. Zane said smiling. Coren then looked horrified and shook her head, and signed. ’’You know I would luv’’ Zane said with a serious look in his eyes.

’’ow. Just thinking about that makes my head hurt. Oh wait…my head really is hurting. Migraines suck. I’ve been getting them a couple times a month ever since the accident. I get them for no apparent reason too. Zane said rubbing his temples. He thought. I’ve have hit my head one to many times against the tree, That’s happened before.

He chuckled. “Yep. Another field trip, and we wont do that bad in the soccer. I’ve gotten better. I’m not the best player, but I can play pretty well. At least I think. Coren will probably beat us though Zane said with a sigh, look of defeat on his face, but was replaced quickly with a grin. ’’But then again… It’s two against once.

Zane blushed when Kodi spoke again, then winked, he ducked his head. out of the corner of his eye he could see Coren laughing silently, I guess I could. No. I’m not uncomfortable with you being gay. That would mean if I were I’d have to be uncomfortable with myself. And good to know. I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s touchy feely. Zane said smiling, his hand running through Kodi’s hair again. This time, he kept doing it. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Coren sign ’’She said, that sounds interesting. Maybe, When I’m older I will. Zane said laughing. For the first time in a while, he felt comfortable with someone else. He was confused, but happy.
