After the minor altercation in the courtyard, Ty was more than ready to go home. Stepping away from the scene, he could feel all the discomforts that he had chosen to ignore before. The blood on his clothes and skin was drying rapidly, making Tyberius uncomfortable with the stiffness. Besides that, it earned him quite a few nervous looks as he passed students on the way back to the dorm. Secretly, he was a little proud that he had earned the fearful glances and hushed whispers. It meant less people would approach him. Or so he hoped.

"I just ... Want to shower." Ty made a face as he lifted his arm up, rubbing at the blood that flaked off quickly. Flashing a wicked smile down at Levi, Ty rubbed at the bloody horizontal line that went across the small boy's forehead. Reaching their dorm room, Ty shuffled with the key before managing to open it, pushing his way inside. "At least most of it isn't my blood. What did he say to you, anyway?" Looking back, he probably should have waited a bit longer to see what the actual argument was about. He supposed he would feel kind of bad if the fight was originally about something stupid. Well, everyone needed to get the shit beat out of them every now and then. The other man had it coming either way.

<div align=center>They'd got funny looks and nervous glances on the way back, leaving the angel more or less completely out cold in the middle of the courtyard. Levi didn't feel bad about that, though. He was feeling bitter towards the man, though his words echoed in his head and Levi couldn't help but think that he was right, still. Letting out a displeased little grumble as Ty's hand went to his forehead, Levi frowned just a little. "Are you okay?" He asked, eyes flickering down to the man's bloodstained shirt, blood was difficult to wash out. "I hope that doesn't stain." That probably shouldn't have been what the demon was concerned about at the moment, however.

What did he say to you, anyway? Levi took a second or two to register the question, shuffling over to perch on the corner of his bed and dropping his hands into his lap. "Stuff and things." He answered absently, wondering briefly if he actually explained it to Tyberius what the response he'd get would be. "I don't think he really realized." Levi murmured, shaking his head. "I just think he picked up on the fact I didn't like what he was saying and... Played it out a little." He let out a short sigh, and pushed his hair away from his face. "God fucking dammit I'm so embarrassed."</div>

Glancing down at his stained shirt, Ty shrugged quickly. He was a little disappointed in the loss of such a good shirt, but he also wasn't interested in keeping a shirt that would be forever stained with blood of a stranger. "I'll just toss it out." No point in washing it, anyway. The blood was already beginning to set into the fabric, and once that happened, he knew there was no way out. Clearing the stains gently away from his skin, Ty settled himself on the edge of his bed, careful in trying not to get anything else stained.

As Levi settled himself on his bed, Tyberius took that time to pull his shirt off, dropping it into a heap on the floor with a distasteful expression. His chest and arms were stained red and pink, and he fetched a damp cloth to wash himself a little before an actual shower. Quietly listening to Levi speak, Ty's eyes flicked up to stare at Levi, now definitely curious in what happened out there. "What kind of stuff? I can always go ask him, I bet he wouldn't have a problem telling me everything." He would have to find a way to bring the man back into consciousness, but he figured a few good slaps and a bucket of ice water could fix that.

<div align=center>"I..." Levi made a noise and fell backwards, landing on his back and staring blankly up at the ceiling. Did he really want to tell Ty? He didn't know, but he knew pretty well that if he didn't his room mate would spend the whole evening hounding him about it. "N.. No it's okay.. Don't.. Ask him." Gabriel probably wouldn't want to come within a mile radius of Tyberius after this, good. "I don't understand how he knew my name." His voice came out a lot quieter than he had meant for it to. Drawing a breath, and letting out a short sigh, the boy shook his head just a little.

"He said it and I panicked." He muttered, "and then he made a dumb are you gonna get your daddy joke and..." He almost laughed at this point, it must have sounded pathetic to someone else. Shifting uncomfortably, Levi gradually pushed himself back up to a sitting position, staring at Ty from across the room with a sad little smile on his features that was unusual to see on him. "Apparently he was a lot better at reading people that I took him for, right? Damn. I thought he was dumb. Guess I was wrong."</div>

Tyberius tilted his head in confusion. He had thought by now that the whole campus would have known his name. He had certainly slept with enough people to pass his name around. Besides that, Ty didn't get how it would be any kind of secret. Levi had immediately introduced himself upon meeting, and so Ty didn't think that was a very good reason for crying. "Daddy joke?" Daddy issues? Did Levi have daddy issues? That would explain a lot of things, and Ty leaned in, setting his elbows on his knees to stare across the short distance to the other bed. His damp cloth was forgotten, drying and sticking to the patch of leg he had abandoned it on.

"What did you mean about your name, you always tell people your name. That's stupid if you overreact because someone found out your name." Studying Levi's face, Ty's mouth twisted into an unsatisfied expression, frowning at the sad little face Levi was making. He didn't like when Levi had an unhappy face; he wasn't used to it for one, and didn't know what to do with it. Sliding slowly off his bed, Ty shuffled his way towards Levi, hesitantly stopping before gently petting his head. "Don't make stupid faces. I ... " It made him feel bad, but he wasn't too keen on admitting that just yet.

<div align=center>Levi sighed lightly, he supposed that was confusing for Tyberius. He'd only ever introduced himself as Levi, that was all he ever introduced himself as. Though of course the name on all the registers was Daniel. No one called him that though, ever. "No, no.." Shaking his head just a little as he spoke, "Levi is only my middle name." He mumbled, softly. This wasn't really something he admitted very often, of course it wasn't, why would he? Awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck, Levi shifted to sit with his back against the wall next to his bed. "My first name is Daniel."

Blinking as Ty pushed himself up, Levi shuffled forward an inch or two and pushed his head up to meet his room mate's hand. He hadn't been called Daniel since his father had last called him it, "I just don't like the way it feels if people call me that," he laughed softly, "guess I just associate it with negative things, right?" Dark eyes flickered upwards to settle upon Tyberius' icy blue ones. "I'm sorry," he dropped his gaze away from Ty's and settled it on the carpet instead. "I don't mean to." He felt very much like he was being all too much of a bother right now.</div>

"Your real name is Daniel?" It came out before he could think about it, and he pressed his mouth together, realising that if it caused the boy to cry in the first place, he probably shouldn't be saying it so freely. "Sorry." Ty could understand associating things with negative things. Despite his otherwise mean nature, Ty decided that this was probably not a good point to use as teasing fodder. Too serious.

Levi was acting awfully unassertive, and Ty made an irritated tzzt. "Move over, you fat goat." His expression scrunched up a bit, internally scolding himself on his expert comforting skills. Sliding up onto the bed, Ty shifted a little to sit closer to Levi, wrapping his arms tight around the other boy's torso and dragging him close, squishing his roommate deep into his chest. His hand moved up, gently moving through hair and over horn, trapping him into the mildly awkward embrace. "It's not your fault. He deserved what he got, and I'd do it all over again." He was quiet for a few minutes, his hand acting almost completely on it's own, going back and forth in stroking motions. "What kind of negative things, though?" It was probably rude to ask like that, but Ty had little concept of that.

<div align=center>Levi nodded, "yeah." Though he glanced up as Ty apologized, confused for a moment, it hadn't been that which had made him cry, not really. Sure, he didn't like it. But it wasn't something that forced him to tears. It had been the realization that in fact he was more or less completely alone on this world and that yes. He was unloved. He'd been unloved his whole life and that wasn't going to stop just because he could manipulate a few humans into believing they loved him for a little while. It wasn't real. It's been in my head this whole time.

Shuffling over when asked, Levi was about to protest about being called a goat before he found himself being pulled into a hug. Finding himself clinging to the man again, Levi frowned at himself, though he wasn't sure he really minded this all that much. He thought if Tyberius did that to Gabriel again though, he might just end up killing him the next time. What kind of negative things, though? He tensed up a little as the question was asked, trying to think of how he could answer this without sounding like some whiny little emo kid. It was difficult.

"My mom died in childbirth and so I never... Really met her." He shifted a little, absently moving a little closer and tucking his head underneath Tyberius' chin. "But I was left with my dad, and it's kinda my fault she died and... I think he sort of really loved her." He shrugged, "can't blame him for blaming me. Not really. He wasn't very nice to me and I suppose I associate my name with him and... Yeah."</div>

A little more than amused that Levi put up little to no resistance, Ty continued to stroke the younger boy's hair, his hand moving from the crown of his head down to the nape of his neck. Completely hetero petting. It wasn't gay unless their clothes were off, right? Like that ... No, he shouldn't think of that now. Not when Levi was so close, and practically on top of him. He remained silent as Levi started to explain, only adjusting himself to gingerly settle his chin on top of ...Daniel? Was that what he should call the boy now? Probably not, if Levi hadn't introduced himself as that at first, he wouldn't want people calling him that.

"Oh." Ty really had nothing much to say to that. He had always assumed that nothing was ever really his fault as a child, and that he was unconditionally loved and admired, and therefore could not commiserate very well with the boy in his lap. "How was he not nice to you?" That was a very broad answer he was given, and it perhaps left more questions than it actually answered. He had always been rather bad at filling in the blanks and assuming things in stories, especially when it came to things that were completely beyond his worries or experiences.

<div align=center>Levi was silent for a little while, Ty was warm and it comforted him to be so close to another person, especially in a manner that wasn't, well, sexual. He was really quite thankful for his room mate right now, sure he was a curse sometimes, but Levi liked him. He liked him more than he liked everyone else. Not in a gay way, though. Just as a friend. Right? He only liked Ty as a friend. A good friend. He appreciated him. How was he not nice to you? "He just didn't.. Really care, I..." The boy paused, did he really want to sit here and tell Tyberius his entire life story?

"I'm sorry, I don't really talk about this very often." Or ever. In fact, he'd never told anyone any of this. He had no idea how the school knew his name. "He had a short tether, I guess. I made him angry a lot... But.. I don't really know why." There'd never really been any explanation, "if I asked what I'd done wrong he'd just hit me harder, so I sort of stopped asking." His voice muffled into Ty's chest as he spoke, making him come across even quieter than he already was. "Sort of got worse as I grew up, but..." He shook his head, why am I telling him this? He didn't really know, he wondered briefly if it was because he genuinely completely trusted Ty? The demon wasn't sure.</div>
