Xavi was tired. Well, he was often tired due to his almost constant sexual energy lack. But now it was different. He, in fact, had plenty of sexual energy. And it was eating at him. Just feeling the energy inside him made Xavi remember...what had happened. How it had made him feel, how it had almost ripped him apart inside. It still hurt, not in body but mind. It hurt in his soul. And so, Xavi was tired. He much preferred his usual state. It also made him look tired, hence he looked less attractive. But now, thanks to the effect of the sexual energy, Xavi looked stunning. He had a glow about him, his hair looked silky and flawless and so did his skin and features. He looked like...a lust demon. And that had been noticed by people, they had looked at him. Looked at him with...those eyes.
That made the hurt even worse.
But Xavi didn't regret. He was happy, because Vexi was now able to sort herself out. His sister, who had lived her whole life selfishly using people, was now regretting her actions, developing empathy. And Xavi wanted her to become a better person. So he would suffer, for Vexi.

But his suffering at the moment greatly overweighted his happiness and Xavi has suddenly found it hard to breathe during class. So he had excused himself and ran away, looking for a place to cry, or maybe even scream. But anywhere Xavi looked there were people there. So the one and only option that had popped into his mind was the roof. There shouldn't be much or any people there, at least on the most isolated parts.
So now Xavi was climbing up countless stairs, trying to keep sobs inside. Xavi didn't consider himself a crybaby, but lately he had cried a lot.
Xavi let out a sigh of relief when he saw the door to the roof, and it transformed into a sob. Xavi picked up the pace and almost barged to the roof. For a second the open space overwhelmed Xavi, after being in the narrow staircase for so long. But soon enough the pain returned and Xavi made his way to the edge of the roof. He didn't take careful care of checking his surroundings, just listened carefully for any sounds of life on the roof. He didn't find any. So Xavi leaned on the railing at the edge of the roof and just let the violent sobs tear through him. His shoulders shook and big tears flowed down his cheeks as Xavi's body tried to rid him of the pain tearing him apart, of the stress and fatigue pressing his shoulders. But Xavi knew it wouldn't help. Nothing would help.
Xavi's sobs escalated into silent whimpering and he lowered himself down on his knees, turned around and leaned against the railing, hugging his knees. And just cried.

Morgan had witnessed a lot in his relatively short lifespan. Angry mothers, enraged fathers, rock golems the size of houses, and floating spatula incidents at lunch. However, he wasn't prepared for the loud bang of the door to the roof opening as someone darted outside. Morgan shrugged mentally, people always looked for solitude on the rooftops all of the time, he was not exception.

His eyes remained closed as he prepared to continue meditating, although once the sound of crying reached his ears, he knew standing around and doing nothing wasn't an option. Demi-god or not, his heart was tugged by the soft sobs of whoever was below him. He slowly opened his featureless white eyes.

With a soft sigh, Morgan stood up, stretched his wings, and gracefully walked to the edge of the tower roof he had been perching on. As he gazed down at the person who's face was obscured by their current position, the first thing that caught his eye was their two toned hair. Morgan tilted his head to the side in a questioning manner before he hopped off the edge of the roof.

Using his wings, he slowly descended until he was several feet away from the figure in order to not spook them.

"I-, I'd ask if you're alright..but that would be redundant.." Morgan started hesitantly. "What's wrong? Not many people come up here during class hours. If you'd rather not say, that's okay too, just tell me to leave and I'll let you be." He said in his trademark soft tone, while his wings shuffled restlessly behind him.

Xavi was, to say it lightly, in his thoughts so he didn't hear the soft rustle of wings. His sobs had subsided to taking deep, shaky breaths but Xavi's tears showed no signs of stopping. They still flowed down his cheeks and Xavi estimated he'd need at least an hour before he could return back to class.
But when Xavi heard someone talk he flinced violently and jumped up, looking like a spooked rabbit. That made the blood rush to Xavi's head and he had to grab the railing and wait a second for the dizzyness to subside. He stared at the person who had spoken to him and blinked tears away from his eyes. As usual Xavi only made the barest minimum points about their looks and instead wished they would be a nice person, hoped they wouldn't look at Xavi's face. And then came the panic.
"I-I'm so sorry, I-I didn't notice you. You don't need to leave, I will leave a-and find some other place t-to calm down."
While talking Xavi desperately tried to wipe the tears away, but they kept flowing outside his will. Xavi kept stuttering slightly as sobs still fought to escape his mouth.
"Y-you're very kind but I couldn't po-possibly inconvenience you."

Morgan gave the person across from him a soft smile and raised an eyebrow. "Nonsense. I don't own the rooftops, and if I didn't want to be inconvenienced I'd have just stayed home. You're not harming anything by being here." He said softly.

With a soft sigh, Morgan sat down across from the boy and hugged one knee to his chest. His eyes briefly flickered over the strangers face. He wasn't bad looking, one could say he was handsome, or in some cases beautiful. However with tears streaming down his face, attraction was the last thing on Morgan's mind.

He patted the ground next to him while his wings folded back. "Feel free to grab a seat if you want. I can just listen if you don't want anyone to talk. Venting will sometimes help the problem." He said as he nodded sagely.

While he was intrigued as to why the boy was on-top of a roof during class hours sobbing, he wasn't one to pry into personal affairs that had nothing to do with himself, unless one offered. Morgan tilted his head again as he patiently waited for the boy to reply.

Xavi was, in all honesty, confused, guilty and slightly suspicious. On top of his miserable mood and hurt. Why would a complete stranger volunteer to console him? Even though Xavi would do the same thing it was unusual for other people to offer it. Xavi had learned that truly good people were rare. So naturally Xavi thought the boy was entranced by his appearance and that was the reason he offered an ear, and that made Xavi feel slightly more miserable and guilty and even a tiny bit angry. Xavi's mind was just a hurricane of negative feelings. But as Xavi observed the boy, his strange white eyes and black wings, he somehow felt tired, but calmer. Xavi could see beyond and recognize genuine kindness. Or maybe Xavi was too tired to stay suspicious, because when the boy sat down and pat the spot beside him Xavi's shoulders slumped slightly and he actually went and sat next to him. Xavi sighed, tears still falling from his eyes. He tried to wipe them again, in vain, and sent a couple of careful glances at the boy.
"I-I'm Xavi. I think it'd be appropriate for you to kn-know the name of the one w-who made your day b-bit more bleak."
Xavi sent a small sad smile at the boy before hugging his knees again and burying his face in them.

Morgan let out a soft melancholic chuckle. "I'm sorry to say that this won't make my any more or less bleak. On the contrary, I'm intrigued by you." Morgan said softly, his head tilted quizzically as he gazed at the figure sitting next to him. Morgan absentmindedly picked at the aura nullification bracelet that graced his wrist as he decided upon what to say next.

Xavi, so that was his name. Morgan mulled it over momentarily before he responded. "My name's Morgan." He offered whilst inwardly cringing at the fact his name was horrifically feminine. Morgan quickly recovered and breezed past his internal cringing.

"Although this is a good place to get away and breathe. The fresh air and the view are always relaxing." He seemed to sigh as he gazed into the distance, his eyes seeming to see more than they were capable of. With a small shake of his head, Morgan returned to himself and refocused on Xavi.

"Well, rambling aside, do you want to talk about it? If not it's okay, I'll understand. Sometimes sitting and just relaxing is good too." Morgan said in his telltale soft voice. He was trying his hardest to be helpful without prying, even though the cause of Xavi's sorrow was eating at him. He had to know, he needed to know. For whatever reason, this boy intrigued Morgan, and that perplexed him greatly.

Xavi felt slightly uncomfortable as he felt the boy's gaze on him. Xavi didn't like being stared at, aside from when he was on stage acting. Because on those moments he chose to be stared at, he gave the people a good reason to stare at him, a reason that wasn't just because he was...beautiful. But now, when he had tears staining his face and yet probably looked attractive, Xavi didn't want anyone to look at him. But that would've been rude to say, so he just kept his cursed face buried and listened to the boy talk. Xavi did look at him when he said he was intrigued by him, confused and his suspicioun rising again. Just in case Xavi quickly checked if he hadn't accidentally dropped his aura nullification bracelet. No, still there.
"I-I'm sorry. I'm a...lust demon, so that's why you must be intrigued. I will cover my face, if that would help."
As always Xavi felt a tiny sting in his chest when he said he was a lust demon. Xavi didn't hate lust demons or being one, he hated what it represented to people, and what he had to do because of it.

Xavi nodded slightly when the boy introduced himself as Morgan. Xavi made no notion of the name's femininity, he just thought absently the name suited him. Xavi was personally fond of his name, Xaviosz, since his sister had given it to him at the beginning of their lives.

Xavi agreed with Morgan, the roof was a good place to come and just...breathe. Xavi was breathing a bit easier, and he also sighed a bit as Morgan did and lifted his head enough to also gaze at the sky. It felt overwhelming for a second before Xavi relaxed and enjoyed it again. Xavi so often forgot how big the world was, when he was buried under all his stress and grief.
"And a good place to try to forget."
Xavi muttered a silent answer to Morgan, and some more tears flowed as proof that Xavi hadn't forgotten. It still hurt.
When Morgan turned to look at Xavi again he tensed a bit, but lesser this time. Morgan was slowly proving he wasn't the kind of person to be kind out of mere superficial attraction, so Xavi started feeling bit more comfortable under his eyes.

Xavi chuckled wearily when Morgan claimed to be rambling. He lifted his tired eyes to the sky again, it was almost the same colour as his left eye, that was surrounded by a big burn scar.
"Sometimes rambling is done to fill silence. Or it can mean, that you have a lot to say."
Xavi turned to look Morgan straight in the eye first time during their meeting, and smiled just slightly.
"And you don't seem to dislike silence, at least to me."
Xavi went serious again and turned his eyes away, sighing a bit.
"I couldn't possibly disclose the details, but...let's just say...I had to do something that hurt me, for someone else. I regret nothing, but the fact that it hurt me...still remains."
Like that a small sob escaped Xavi and he wiped freshly fallen tears from his face. His sleeves were wet from them already.

Morgan nodded solemly at the mention of Xavi being a lust demon. He then gave the boy a small melancholic smile and shook the aura bracelet on his wrist. "Well, I guess you could say I'm a Demi-god of strife, so I do understand the complicated powers." He said with a soft chuckle.

Morgan picked up on Xavi's statement about forgetting, however he chose to let it go for now. At the mention of filling silence Morgan gave Xavi a genuine smile, which was rare as Morgan wasn't one to generally show so much emotion. "I spend most of my time in solitude or silence, so when I get the chance to talk to someone up here, I tend to go on for hours." Morgan sheepishly scratched the back of his head.

Morgan nodded as Xavi told him the details were complicated. "I understand. Pain, even when helping others is still pain. Morgan stood up to his full height and reached a hand to Xavi in order to help him up. "As much as I like the rooftops, they can get a bit melancholic at times. I think we need a change of pace, no?" Morgan said with a soft smile

"Where would you like to hang out for the next hour or so? Consider me your winged taxi." He joked as he pointed at the large black and silvered wings attached to him.

Xavi felt sympathy as Morgan pointed out his own power bracelet and admitted to sharing complicated powers. It did make Xavi feel bit better, and he answered Morgan's melancholic smile with his own. He did still keep his head down, however, and tried to hide behind his long bangs.
"Well, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I suppose. Or at least I hope so."
Xavi let out a weak chuckle and looked down briefly.

Xavi glanced at Morgan bit curiously, when Morgan offered him a genuine smile. Xavi had learned to read people well enough to recognize it as such. And as Morgan spoke Xavi offered a genuine smile of his own, which must've looked strange tears still falling from his eyes.
"Although at the moment I'm rather depressing I'm glad to offer you my company. It's the least I can do, after you offered to listen to me. I enjoy listening to blabbing."
Xavi let out a genuine small chuckle and leaned his chin on his knees.

Xavi felt relieved when Morgan didn't even try to pry into the details, because they were truly not appropriate to disclose to someone you just met. Morgan's words offered Xavi some consolation and when the boy stood up Xavi, slightly hesitantly, took his hand and let Morgan help him up. Somewhere at the back of his mind Xavi made the notion that Morgan was slightly taller than him. But that got buried under slight panic when Morgan offered to hang out with him, and even give him a ride. Xavi shook his head and even his hands, his eyes bit wider.
"I couldn't possibly. I just met you and have already caused you this much grief, and you have been so kind and patient. And..."
Xavi looked down, suddenly a bit embarrassed and he observed the tips of his sneakers.
"...you wouldn't care for the place I had in mind either..."
Xavi muttered silently. He had been thinking of going to the place he was thinking of after school, it was a place where he could calm down and relax. But Vexi laughed at the fact that he went there, and Xavi was pretty sure Morgan wouldn't care for it either.

Morgan tiled his head quizzically. "I can't dislike a place I've never been." He stated in a matter of fact tone, although not unkindly. "His featureless eyes softened slightly as he outstretched his arms to Xavi. "C'mon, it'll be fun." Morgan said with a chuckle, although in the back of his mind, he was secretly worrying about the off chance that he accidentally dropped the poor boy.

Unlikely as it was, it gnawed at Morgan until he pushed the negative thought away and refocused on trying to cheer Xavi up. "Maybe this bracelet is just making me irritable." He thought to himself, before he bashfully kicked a small pebble off the roof. "I'm, sorry if I came on too strong." He apologized, although his voice was still nothing but a lilting, hushed tone.

Morgan bit his bottom lip in concentration as he analyzed the things he had said over the course of the conversation. In an attempt to give the poor boy an out after he had put him through the Celtic Inquisition, he slowly raised his head to look at Xavi.

"Or, we could just take the stairs and find something to do if you want?" It was more of a question than a statement, but it was worth a shot in Morgan's mind.
