* * *Saturday morning. You were supposed to be able to sleep in on Saturday mornings, but one certain Ravenclaw boy never could. The moment the sun shone through the blue hangings around his bed, he was awake. Grumbling sleepily, Alixei pushed the hangings aside and brought his legs down, so that his feet touched the floor. Realizing that everyone else in the dormitory was still asleep, quite soundly, he stepped lightly and silently as he moved around getting dressed. Stowing the little container of teal eyeshadow back into the drawer of his bedside table, he looked up at himself in the mirror. A smile formed on his lips as he watched his hair go from black to blue to green. He tilted his head and it switched to vibrant pink with a streak of yellow. Eyes widening, he hurriedly changed it back to black, and then added a splash of teal across the front half, settling with that. Staring at his teal highlighted blue eyes, he considered changing them for once, but decided against it. He liked their natural color, especially the bright sky blue shade they were at the minute, in the sunlight. Chuckling silently to himself, he snatched up his bag and wandered out, thinking about the matter the entire time. Now that he had good control of it, being a Metamorphmagus really was amazing.
Alixei didn't see a single person along the way. He really was the only one, or close to the only one, up and around early Saturday. Stopping outside the Great Hall, he peered around the open doors. There was a handful of students spread across the hall, the majority at the Hufflepuff table. Thinking for a minute, he wondered if she should grab something, perhaps like toast, that he could just take along with him outside. "Nah, I don't need anything," he mumbled to himself. He wasn't really that hungry yet. He could wait until lunch time. He rarely ate in the mornings anyway. Usually only when there was something with cinnamon, the smell of it was just too enticing. There was nothing with cinnamon this morning though. He shook his head and started walking again, straight through the doors into the entrance hall and on through the next set leading outside.
The grounds were completely deserted. That brought another smile to Alixei's face. It wasn't that he didn't like the other people around the castle, in fact, he loved socializing. The thing was that they didn't seem to like him very much. He talked and hung out with the other Ravenclaws when he was in the common room, but he didn't really have anyone he could consider a true friend. He was one of those people that everyone seemed to think was too different. He dressed and acted different than the other guys. He had different views and beliefs on various matters. He had heard a few refer to him as the 'male Loony Lovegood'. They couldn't come up with anything better than that, or the expected insulting names. He actually found it all rather laughable. They could say whatever they wanted. Laughing, outloud this time, he looked out across the lake as he came to a halt right at the water's edge. Alixei yawned and stretched his arms high over his head. Looking around once more, he lowered himself down to the grass. He slipped his boots of and dipped his polished-nailed toes into the cool water, before pulling a peacock feather quill, teal ink and a notebook from his bag. Scribbling down random words for lyrics, he sang as he did so. "All we wanna know's where we goin' when we die...all this killing so, we can reach beyond the sky...set us ablaze and wander deserted...ignorance plays in, truth is averted..." There was no one else around, so he didn't have to bother with keeping his voice down. He could enjoy himself and sing as loud as he pleased, and that he did, getting so absored in his writing and singing, that he didn't notice someone else finally join him outdoors. * * *

Devin's mood hadn't improved much since returning to his sixth year of school. He had been tormented and degrated even more then the last half of his fifth year. Girl's looked at him and mocked his slightly girly voice. Guy's on the other hand would immitate his voice and make fun of his style of clothing. Most of this came from Slytherin's who he was stuck to be around all the time. He was torchered the most by his dorm mates, "Stupid dumb..." He then clenched his fists as he made his way out of the common's where girl's were whispering and pointing at him calling him a freak and a complete disgrace to what his family stood for and what the Slytherin's stood for.
As angry tears coursed from his eyes he slammed the painting to the common's shut making the painting yell at him, "Oh shut your trap!" He then stormed up the stairs. As he headed towards the front doors he shoved every student who got in his way or came anywhere near him away and into a wall or onto the ground, "Stay the hell away from me!" He then open the door and then slammed it shut making a ringing go throughout the school. Walking down the front steps he let the tears fall even harder down his face. He slowly shoved his hands into his purple pants. Looking down at the ground as his brown hair fell into his eyes.
Frowning and shaking his head in anger he continued to curse at the girls and guys who always made fun of hiim. Alone now he began to hum. As he walked down towards the lake he could hear someone singing, "That sounds beautiful..." AS he began to move forward he saw a guy who she was sure was a Ravenclaw singing, "He's...He's beautiful... and that voice..." he then hid behind a tree near him and goggled at the boy and then slowly came out of his hiding spot smiling, "Hiya gorgeous..."

* * *A strong breeze blew across the grounds. The water around his feet splashed up onto his black jeans, even though they were rolled back a few times. The corners of the pages of his journal lifted and the feather in his left hand threatened to escape his grip. Alixei curled his fingers tighter around it and spread the fingers of his other hand to cover the pages, holding them still. He waited a second, for the wind to stop, and then continued on with his writing, once he could relax again. It was perfect weather to relax; which for him was writing and singing, as he aspired to be the lead of the next famous Wizarding band when he graduated. The sun was up, but not shining directly in his face, and the temperature was great. He wondered how long it would last, before something or someone ruined it.
"All these restrictions, tied up and willing...Inbred suspicions, keep us from giving..." he sang in his strong, but slightly high voice. "Headstrong and free more...Right through my heart and..." he slowed a little, writing the words as they came out of his mouth. "Still in a new old...Fuck me up and play, yeah," his voice rose at the end, in one of his signature 'screams', but not quite as loud as it usually would have been. He wasn't looking to catch anyone's attention at the moment. However, almost exactly as he had said it, he heard the person coming up behind him. Alixei actually rolled his eyes and laughed at the other boys words. Or at least it sounded more like a boy, he didn't look up immediately. He could reasonably assume it was just someone coming to make an attempt at taunting him, with words like that. It was rather common, as was his laughing it off; that made them go away when they realized they weren't going to get a huge, entertaining reaction out of him. The person didn't go leave. Sighing, he finally looked up through his teal bangs. It was Slytherin, he was quite sure. No wonder. "Oh, you're just hilarious, you know," he said with sarcasm and a slight smirk, before looking back down at his journal. * * *

Devin's eyes went wide at the high lyrics, but god they were amazing and so so beautiful! He swooned at the voice it was something he had never heard before and it made him turn a crimson red. As the boy heard him and began to laugh rolling his eyes as he spoke Devin growled deep in his throat before speaking carefully, "I'm not joking hun...but then again when does a guy ever believe a so called Fag as the girls call me..." He looked down at the boy in front of him anger coursing through his veins.
Pushing his hair away from his eyes showing off the black eyeliner on his eyes, "God stupid dumb..." he shook with fury and then calmed himself, "i'm sorry... I shouldn't be taking my anger out on you I'm just so angry at those danged Slytherin's in my house... imitating my voice, calling me a freak, calling me a disgrace just because of my sexuality..."((i'm sorry i can't think of much at the moment...))

* * *Alixei pressed the tip of his quill to the journal page, but did not write anything more. He was stuck now, nothing else was coming to him. Clenching his jaw for a second, he silently cursed the other boy for interrupting his concentration and creative flow. He twirled the feather between his fingers as the boy spoke, probably looking like he was paying him no attention, even though he truly was listening intently. Apparently he had missed something. Things rarely got around to him. He was usually far behind in the school gossip. That was if the boy was telling the truth. Alixei wasn't sure he could believe him.
Still not looking up, he finally opened his mouth again. "Try living with a houseful of Slytherin's who call you every name in the book, including your parents, and then come complain to me again," he said, voice oddly calm for the conversation. He gave a quiet laugh and shook his head. "Look, if this truly isn't just another attempt of the jokes you Slytherin's like to try and play, then good morning," he paused for a second. "If it is, you might as well just fuck off," he chuckled softly. The boy behind him did actually sound rather sincere, but he could never instantly believe them.* * *

Devin sighed heavily and took a seat next to the boy keeping his distance slightly so as to not make him feel uncomfortable, "I'm being sincere as sincere can be... I'm sorry if I came like a bitch... I guess you've got to deal with stuff like me..." Sighs and pulls off his shoes pushing his feet into the water and sighing deeply, "I have to deal with my parents calling me a disgrace... I still haven't told them that I know i'm completely gay...because I know... because I know they will never let me come back..." He looks down his eyes tearing slightly, "I just wish people would stop being stupid! Stupid dumb idiots..."
Looking up at the boy and pushing his hair away from his eyes smiling over at the other boy, "I didn't even know there was another boy in this school who... who was well like me I mean I always thought I was the only one here in school seeing as everyone makes fun of me all the time...I'm glad though...It's nice to meet you... um... whats your name?"

* * *Alixei watched the other boy out of the corner of his eye, keeping his blue gaze locked on him as he sat down. Despite how calm he appeared to be, he was truly still wary and suspicious. It was simply natural, especially with the person a few feet away being a Slytherin. "No, no you didn't really," he muttered quietly. "Really, it's just a natural reaction, especially with Slytherins," he continued. "I'm sure you know what I mean," he added, shaking his head. Sighing, he went back to playing with the quill, thinking. "Oh, you'll learn to deal with it. Four years and you'll learn to just laugh it all off," he said firmly.
Laughing, he raised a single eyebrow. "Another boy who what?" he asked, wondering if the other boy would just say what he wanted to. Of course, he knew what he was getting around to, but it seemed rather ridiculous that he wouldn't just spit out clearly. Finally lifting his head and turning to look straight at the other boy, he brushed his teal bangs away from his eyes, a small smirk turning up one side of his mouth. "The name is Alixei. Alixei Raven. You can just call me Xei, though," he introduced himself. "And you are?"* * *

Devin could feel that the boy was wary of him and he smiled as he leaned back and lay on the ground looking up at the sun as he thought. It was interesting to be talking to a guy about his gayness without the person laughing at him or mocking him. He then looked at Alexei and laughed, "Well you are gay aren't you? i mean... I'm sorry if I'm misjudging... I'm sincere when i say though boy you are absolutely gorgeous and your voice is beautiful..." He then turns his head and blushes.
When Alexei says his name Devin turns back smiling, "My names Devin... Devin Mitchell Collins... my family are all full blooded Slytherins... but anyways you can call me Devin or Devy i don't mind... I mean thats kind of what the girl's call me because of the whole thing of me being gay, but hey thats something I actually have liked out of this whole thing..." He then looks over at Alexei, "So you like to write lyrics... my friend Kyraina loves to write lyrics as well... she's a very beautiful singer...I think you and her would get along... she's one of the only Slytherin's who is kind to me..."

* * *Still, he kept his eyes on the other boy, letting them follow him as he laid back. Alixei almost burst out laughing at the boy's question. Biting his tongue and giving a small, forced cough, he then laughed, quietly. "Oh, no, there's millions of straight guys running around the castle wearing glittery teal make-up and jewelry, didn't you know?" he said sarcastically, his usual smirk creeping up onto his face. "Of course I am," he said in a more serious tone. Alixei gave a soft laugh, looking down. "Well, I'm flattered," he smiled as the other boy turned away, knowing he must have been blushing.
"It's nice to meet you," he nodded. "And that matters, why? You are as well, aren't you?" he replied, raising an eyebrow. "Truly different than them, are you, or only since being turned on? Do you not act like your fellow Slytherins?" he asked curiously. Maybe he was prying a bit too much for only having met the boy, but he was only like him to be completely honest and bold, to ask what he wanted to know openly. He glanced down at the journal in his lap. "Yes, I do. Practice for when I finally graduate my way out of this hell," he laughed softly. He hummed thoughtfully. "Don't think I've seen her around," he shrugged. Tearing his eyes away from Devin, he looked back down to his journal.* * *

Devin laughed lightly at Alexei's sarcasm, "Ya I guess that was a stupid question..." He laughs lightly, "Na... I've always been different then those other stuck ups... I mean I used to just pretend to be some what like them, but I knew I was always different then them... I mean god they are all about being better then anyone else why can't they just be normal and just sit back and enjoy life you know..." he then laughs lightly, "Not that I really keep calm and enjoy it myself...the only time i can enjoy myself is when I can sing Ky's newest lyrics for her so I can give her my opinion on them as well... She writes some for me as well..."
He looks over at the boy and smiles pleasantly, "I really love to sing... I well I also like to dance as well something my family doesn't know as well... Really I hate people like them... think just because we have different beliefs on sexuality and who we like makes us idiots and fucked up ya know?" Laughs again and smiles up at Alexei, "I have to tell you boy...um...this is kind of weird for me to say I know, but I would soooooooo kiss you... those lips look very yummy..." he then looked away still smiling as he hummed slowly, "Different opinions...different ways...they don't see us as we are so really tell them to screw off and just be yourself... hmph... thats what Ky tells me all the time... and she's right... I shouldn't care just like you and her say about what they say... but damnit...i was one of the more respected Slytherins... I mean not because of how I acted because I really wasn't into the whole Voldemort thing or being snobby to Gryfindors or Muggleborns that wasn't me i really try and respect everyone... No it was because my family was a well known and respected family... not as respected as the Malfoy's of course, but ya pretty close... and now I'm no one to them...I'm just a dumbass fag to them..." He then laughs and begins to hum again.

* * *Alixei nodded. "A bit, yes," he chuckled. All signs of amusement faded from his face. "No need to explain the Slytherins, as said, I know them very, very well," he said. "Unfortunately," he added a second later. "Hypocritical now, are we?" he questioned but not really seriously, tilting his head. Taking a deep breath, he shrugged again. "It's not difficult to do. If I can, you can," he laughed lightly.
"Yes?" he raised an eyebrow. "Lets hear your voice then," he said, watching him. "It all goes together, doesn't it? Singing, dancing...if you intend to ever truly perform, anyhow," he said. "Then, how did you end up in Slytherin exactly? You don't seem like one," he said honestly. Alixei laughed again. He turned to the other boy with a smile. "You would, would you? What are you afraid to actually do it?" he smirked. He leaned back a little, so that he was closer. "If they're going to gossip, you might as well give them something real to gossip about," he whispered, smiling, before pulling back up to his original sitting position. He nodded. "Exactly. Well, she's correct, then." He rolled his eyes, not at Devin, but rather what he was saying. "Tell me about it."* * *

His eyes closed slowly as he thought about all the things that he had said and what Alexei had said, "I'm telling you you don't want to hear my voice...I definetely don't have the gorgeous and beautiful voice you have darling..." He then sits up and leans in close so Alexei's lips are close to touching, "Alright... why don't we?" A smirk hits his face and he presses his lips against Alexei's kissing him lightly before pulling away and whiping his lips with his finger.
"Very tassssssssssssty..." He purred quietly. He then looked up at the stars and began humming, "Everyone tells me each day I'm not going to make it! What they don't know is that I'm just one little piece of history and I'll make it through the thickest and the thinnest pieces of lifes fantasies...Doncha know doncha know just what I mean when I say...It just happens everyday..." He then starts humming as he thinks carefully trying to remember the rest, but can't.
He then carefully laughed as he looked over at Alexei and smiled, "told ya I'm not the best singer...but Kyraina... she is a hard worker and a beautiful lyrics writer...You should meet her sometime. I mean she's a slytherin, but she's beautiful and marvelous..."

* * *Alixei nodded. "And I'm telling you, I do. You have heard me sing, now it's your turn," he said sternly, blue eyes piercing into the other boy's. "Yes, well, who does?" he said with a smirk. He laughed. "I'm only joking. I'm not that arrogant, in fact... the only other people who have even really heard me clearly are my family, and they hate listening to me, so," he laughed softly, looking down. "Anyway, stop being so modest and just sing," he waited.
"Why not?" he agreed, just a moment before their lips touched. He smiled, glancing toward the castle. "Unfortunately, we're alone and it makes no difference to anyone else," he sighed and picked his quill back up, about ready to go back to writing, for about the tenth time. He stopped as the boy beside him finally started singing. He turned to look at Devin again with a smile. "You're good, you could use a bit of practice, but you've definitely got something," he nodded. "Again, one thing that would help you is some self-confidence," he smirked. "Are those her lyrics you were singing?"* * *

Devin's eyes closed slowly as he listened to Alexei talk. As he does this he feels himself blush, "Ya those are her lyrics alright... they're beautiful aren't they?" he looked up at the sky and then looked over at Alexei sitting up and leaning over to where he was in front of Alexei's beautiful lips once more and touched his face softly and then pushes his body against Alexei's and kisses him again this time trailing his tongue against the boy's lips.
As he kissed the boy he smiled so happy to feel the touch of another boy as beautiful and talented as the one he was with right now. Pulling away from Alexei for a moment he blushed and licked his lips, "You are so amazingly gorgeous and talented...I think... I think I really like you Xei..." He then planted his lips back on the boy's once more.

* * *Alixei stared out across the lake again for a minute, watching the dark water ripple lightly as the wind blew through the grounds again. He nodded in agreement. "They are lovely. What are the rest?" he said, wondering if he would sing the rest or if he would go shy again. He turned to Devin as he came closer again.
A light laugh escaped his lips as the other boy pulled away and spoke. "Do you really, or is just because I'm the first you've met? Or is it love at first sight?" he smirked and chuckled. "Nah," he said softly, pressing his lips against the boy's for a fleeting second. "I like you too, Dev," he paused for a second, teal color in his hair brightening slightly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the castle doors open and a group of students wander out. Smiling he, moved, changing position. He pulled his feet out of the water and turned onto his knees, so that they were facing. He eyed the other group of students once more, before leaning in to Devin, placing a hand to the back of his neck and the other to his shoulder, and then kissing him. This time it was longer, he kept their lips locked together, briefly brushing his tongue against Devin's. Pulling away a minute a later, he smiled. "I hope you're prepared for that gossip," he laughed, knowing the group that had come out was watching them.* * *
