Getting away with murder. [Alexander!}

[Ace Anderson]

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness, I need to calculate what creates my own madness.

Ace was wandering around the garden, mezmarized by the flowers and fruits. He wanted to pluck an apple from the tree, but decided against it.

And Im addicted to your punishments.

He had his earphones in his ears again, not really looking where he was wandering. His booksack thrown across his shoulder, he was ready to conquer the world!

And youre the master.

He hummed softly, his eyes -green today- looked around, searching for some guy he could talk to.

And I am craving this disaster.

He sat down beneath a tree, pulling a book from his booksack before throwing it down at his feet. He smiled a bit, cracking the old, worn book open to the dogeared page.

[Alexander Van'Dan]

Alexander began his daily stroll through the garden with no trouble. Usually he'd come in contact with what he called "Killer Squirrels", but today there were none to be seen. The garden actually looked quite peaceful on this day. All the usual seniors were there and the fruity dog walkers. He was so caught up in walking that he almost didn't notice a boy laying down near an oak tree. He had the looks of no one Alexander had seen before around here. His eyes became glued to the boy but in his mind he could only imagine that the boy was straight. It wouldn't hurt him to try though. He just needed a way to get over there.

He managed to find a friend of his that allowed him to use her dog. He knew it was cheesy, but it was the only way. He threw the ball towards the tree a bit and the dog went off. He began to act as if he was chasing him down and the dog launched into the air and jumped on the boy sitting under the tree. Alexander came panting up behind him, "Calliope, DOWN!" he shouted at the dog. "Are you okay?" he smiled and offered a hand to the boy

[Ace Anderson]

Ace smiled up at the boy, nodding. He patted the dog, tossing the ball back up to the boy. But his eyes just couldnt leave him. Something about him was hypnotizing. He was certainly cute, Ace would give him that.

"Whats it take to get a date with a cute guy like you?" He asked, sitting up and dusting the grass off of himself. He looked back up at him, taking his hand gently in his own. Something about his statement sounded extremely corny, but he didnt care.

He didnt pull himself up, but sat there, his legs crossed and the boys hand in his. He tilted his head to the side abit, his green eyes dancing with his smile.

[Alexander Van'Dan]

Alexander looked at the boy with strange look in his eyes. He wasn't used to people being so open with their sexuality in public. Not that he minded that at all, but it was a foreign concept to him. He enjoyed the touch of the boy's hand being in his. He felt very at home with this stranger sitting in front of him. The boy's smile was contagious and extremely adorable.

"Well it depends on how bad someone wants the date." He smiled suspiciously.

[Ace Anderson]

Ace smiled, rubbing the top of the boys hand with his thumb. He usually wasnt this forward, this open with people he had just met. Besides, the boy could always be straight. And knowing his luck, he would be.

"Well this person wants it pretty bad.." He smiled, looking up innocently at him. "Is that bad enough?"

He felt like he could drown in his eyes, melt at his touch. His heart was racing and barely beating, all at the same time. He had butterflies in his stomach. This was all new to him.
