Robert looked up from his book and out the window. There were few days when the Academy was quiet enough for him to sit and enjoy a good book in the library. He looked down at his book again. The Master and Margarita lay in his lap. He placed his bookmark in his place and lay the book on the table next to him. Pulling one leg up, Robert continued to look out the window at the mountains.
'This peace can't last long,' he thought with a wry smile.

SLAM!
Nicolas placed one of his favorite books across the table next to Robert. "Sorry mate, didnt mean for it to hit that hard." Nick smiled a bit and pulled up a chair, he then sat down. "You dont mind if I read here do youse?" He asked looking at the Blonde figure.

Robert had flinched at the slam of the book. He sighed. His prediction had come true. He lifted his eye to the newcomer and smiled.
"No, you can read here. I was just spacing out for a moment is all," he replied as he reached for his own book again.

Nick looked back at his book infront of him, but couldnt stop taking glances at the man beside him. Nick finally forced himself to turn away and try to read his book comfertably. Nick looked up out one of the windows. "Are you new here too?" He asked in a soft voice.

"Yes," Robert answered after a pause. He looked up from his book at the man next to him. He seemed nice enough, maybe he could make a new friend for once. Robert held out his free hand ", my name's Robert."

"Well." Nick smiled slightly and placed his book down. "Its nice to meet you Robert, Im Nick." He accepted this newly found strangers hand.
"Can I ask what your reading there?"

"The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. It's a good read," Robert responded after a pause. He looked up from his book at the man next to him. The smile Nick was wearing was odd. Robert felt as though he was about to be challenged in some way...he felt like he could do with a good challenge at this moment.

Nick thought for a moment before replying. "The Master....and margarita? Sounds very, Interesting." Nick licked his lips and gazed back out the window. "Whats...it...about?"

Robert lifted an eyebrow at Nick's lip lick. He shrugged.
"It's about a poet in Russia, satanism, politics, comedy, good versus evil, and love," Robert thought for a moment ", speaking of maragrita's. I'm a bit thirsty."

Nick smiled at himself, thinking up something clever to say....but nothing came to mind.
"My thoughts exactly."
Nick glanced over at Robert again and then down at his book. "I know this place thats a couple miles east of here, but theres no transportation at all leaving tonight to get there though...."

Robert sighed ", well that doesn't help. What do you propose we do then?"
He glanced out the window again. The sky was almost totally dark. Robert looked back to Nick. The artist in him stuttered when he saw the last remnants of the sunset in bright green eyes.
'That's weird,' Robert thought.

"Well,"
Nick moved himself in the chair to get more comfertable, he then looked back at Robert staring straight at him. ",we could...umm....." Nick took a long pause. "Do I have something on my face?"

Robert shook his head. He had been caught staring.
"No, you don't. I'm sorry, I just saw the red from the sky in your eyes," he mumbled ", I'm an artist, see. Red and green compliment each other...it's making your eyes glow," Robert finally said. He felt awkward at having been caught staring at Nick.

To his surprise, He didnt expect anything like that. Nick smiled, a slight hint to pink swept across his cheeks.
"Is that a good thing?" Hes asked looking at the Blonde.

"Umm...if you want it to be...," he blushed. He had never acted like this before. He wasn't used to this. He looked up at Nick. The blush across Nick's cheeks was adding to the compliment in his eyes. He started to examine the rest of Nick's face. He was all angles...Robert had never seen anyone like him. He shifted and looked down to his book again.

Nick sat there, all stary-eyed, watching Robert bolt everwhere with those blue eyes.
"I may not be an artist, but I know your eyes are an interesting shade of blue...." Nick moved in his seat, making his movements carefuly. He was now facing robert, he proped his head up using his arm that rested upon the table.

Nick's angled face was turned towards Robert. He felt a stirring inside of him when he heard the comment. He had heard it before. People loved his eyes and hair. They said he was angelic. But somehow....Nick made it sound real.
"I, uh..thanks......heh," Robert let his eyes stop darting about and looked into Nick's.

"They are actually Beautiful in a way to be honest." Nick smiled one more time at this beautiful stranger, how his blue eye looked at him, it made his heart start to race.

"Where were we going to get that drink," Robert asked, trying to alleviate some of the tension in the room. It didn't work, as Nick kept looking at him with that smile. Robert's mouth was dry. He needed a drink...maybe 3 or 4 actually. Some vodka. Yes, that's what he needed; a good couple or 5 shots of vodka.
Robert shifted as his groin twitched, making him blush even deeper.

Nick looked at him, seeing his cherub like cheeks flush a deep red that looked.....
Nick cleared his throat for a moment and looked back out the window. "Well If you want to walk a few miles, in the night....in the dark." Nick positioned himself back twards the table, he rested his head on the neck of the chair and closed his eyes. "We could get lost getting there or even heading our way back."

Robert watched Nick sit back. The way his body moved was feline, very fluid and graceful. He looked out the window. It was dark out but he grew up in this region. He knew it well enough to find his way.
"I know my way around here. I'm sure we could find our way back if we went for a stroll. Besides, I've been in here for hours. My arse has fallen asleep and I think a bit of fresh air," Robert stated and stood up with his book in hand, looking down at the stretched out Nick.

",Would do you some good." Nick finished Roberts sentence, finished it in a low tone and his head lay back. He opened his eyes looking up at the ceiling but drew his eyes twards Robert.

Robert's brain skipped a bit and then he laughed.
"Shall we go then? It gets any later it'll be freezing by the time we actually get out of this huge place," he replied with a smile and held out his hand to Nick.

'His hand, for me?'
Nick directed his attention to Roberts hand before him, looking at the veins pulsate. Nick gave of a small chuckle and took his hand. "How gentelmen like of you." Nick smiled and pulled himself up onto his feet standing before Robert, looking at him.

Robert had to look up a few inches to see how tall Nick was. He had always been fairly tall and this man was taller. He caught the scent of Nick's colonge and backed up a few inches. He half turned towards the door, then turned his head back.
"Are you coming?"
