✘ Foreign Languages Room

@ken "You're a whole different species Jae ah, it's important to know about you so that I can understand you and be there, right?" He smiled brightly, glancing at the waitress and slipped into the chair beside the other, releasing his hand and immediately reading through the menu, nodding to the other's explanation, "I could try to describe it for you? It'd be fun~" He nods again, spotting what he wants before looking around for the waitress.

@✦Taehyung "You sure do ask a lot of questions, but that's okay. It means I interest you, neh Tae-ah?" Ken pulled the other along and finally arrived at the cafe. It was quiet this time of day, since most people were at work or kids were in school. Grabbing a table near the door, they were handed menus from a waitress. He waited until she walked away to answer his question. "Reapers feed off of souls. We don't consume all of the soul, but we take little parts of the souls were reap, or take it from supernatural creatures. As for how my mother feed me, she used milk. The milk has small traces of soul energy, enough for a baby to feed off of without getting sick. I wish I could eat human food."

@ken Taehyung nodded more, nibbling his lip gently with furrowed brows. That did sound strange. Glancing up at Ken he smiled, feeling their hands swinging and gripped the other's just a little more, "So, you always get to have your parents...that must be nice." Picking up his pace to match Ken's he once again had to ask another question, he was full of curiosity, "So, how do you keep your body energized if you don't eat? And when you were a baby didn't you need your mother's milk?"

@✦Taehyung "Ooohhh, okay. That's what you meant. Well reapers usually age normally until they turn thirty, then they stop aging physically. My parents have looked the same since before I was born, being the youngest and all. It's kind of weird to see my grandparents look like their siblings. When we go out in human public, it can get kind of weird for me." He swung their hands back and forth, shaking his head at being mistaken for his mother's little brother. They were nearing the cafe, so Ken picked up his pace a little. "We're almost there Tae-ah."

@ken Tae couldn't help but to burst into laughter, finding the expression on Ken's face adorable and thoughts funnier. Shaking his head, Tae still laughed, "N-no! No! I did not! I wasn't sure if you guys had a different way of doing things that's all!" He calmed a bit before explaining, "Like maybe you age slower than humans or something~" Shrugging softly he let out a sigh, "Dork."

@✦Taehyung Ken blinked at the question. Did he really expect him to be an old man? There's no way in hell he'd subject himself to more school after doing it the first time. No other reapers he know have ever done something like that before. "I'm seventeen. Did you really expect me to be old?" He gave his friend a disbelieving look. "No normal supernatural being would subject themselves to high school again."

@ken Tae nodded slowly, taking all the information in and thought about asking Ken what he'd do when he 'retired', but decided against it. He didn't want to think about then, but he was curious how old the other was, "Jae ah, how long have you been alive for?" He glanced at the other, following him to where he was leading them.

@✦Taehyung Ken had never thought about it like that. I mean he knew what happened to them after so long, but he never considered when he'd be able to do the same. "Umm, yeah they retire-ish. Some of them stop working as reapers and decide to guide lost and wandering souls to the afterlife. Others decide to work on the River Styx, transporting souls to there Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory. The ones that retire usually spend the rest of eternity going between Heaven and Hell just having fun, but most spend their time in Heaven. I hear it's nicer there. Or they go to the reaper dimension and live there forever."

@ken Sighing softly Tae let the other lead him, walking along quietly for a while before he looked over at Ken. He couldn't help but smile a little for whatever reason before looking away, "Jae ah, so if Grims don't die, what happens? Because if they have babies then there's just more and more and more. Do they retire or something?"

@✦Taehyung Ken laughed a little at his friend childlike ways. He shook his head and pulled his hand in the other direction. "You're going the wrong way, Tae-ah. Come on. I'll get you to some food." Pulling him in the opposite direction, they pass by the foreign language room again and take the stairs to the first floor to leave the school grounds.

@ken Tae immediately pouted and looked over at the other, "Food! I'm really hungry Jae ah, my tummy is so unhappy it's bubbling and gurgling and hurting. I thought we were going to the cafe'..." Stops walking as he looks down the hall, he was sure that Ken had been heading down this way, was he wrong again? His stomach grumbled loudly then and Tae's cheeks turned a subtle pink, "See...its hungry."

@✦Taehyung Ken blushed at the kiss to his nose. With his other hand rubbed it slightly and couldn't stop thinking about it for a little bit. What could that have possibly meant? Did it even have a meaning or was it just a friendly gesture? By the time he snapped out of his thoughts, he realized that they were going the wrong way. "Tae-ah, were are you taking us this time?"

@ken Nodding slightly he took a deep breath, looking the other in the eyes before he relaxed and gave a firmer nod, offering a soft smile as he spoke what was becoming a common response to Ken, "Okay." Leaning in he pecked the other's nose and smiled before he started walking, gently tugging Ken's hand to bring him along.

@✦Taehyung Taehyung was right. Ken hadn't thought about that the other growing old and dying. Just thinking about it made him said and almost wished he hadn't asked. But now that he's made aware of it, he can try to find a solution. "It's a risk I'm willing to take to be with you. We can figure out something later, okay?"

@ken Looking the other in the eyes he hesitated a moment before responding softly, "You don't die, you're going to live forever but I'll die and leave you behind~ I don't want to leave you wandering and lonely like you said..."

@✦Taehyung He was happy that the other agreed to try and keep himself out of trouble, but that didn't stop the worried feeling in him, especially when his friend frowned. Gripping his hand tighter, he lifted his face with his free hand to look him in the eyes. "What's wrong? And don't lie. I know something is wrong."

@ken Blinking a bit when Ken stopped, the boy furrowed his brows and looked at him a bit widely before nodding gently, whispering back softly, "Okay." Reaching up he takes one of Ken's hands and holds it at his side, looking down at the floor as he realizes Ken is going to live forever, but he's going to die someday, he couldn't help but frown at that thought, but he stayed quiet.

@✦Taehyung Ken stopped walking as he looked at the other. Tae becoming a ghost? He didn't know what was worse, that or him having to reap his soul. Holding the other's face in his hands, he shook his head. "Being a ghost is not something you want to be. That's no way to spend the rest of eternity. Wandering and lonely. I don't want that for you, so don't say things like that okay?"

@ken Glancing up at the other, Tae nodded slightly and rested his head on the other's shoulder, "Okay~ but I want to do everything for you too. And maybe I'd just become a ghost...do you reap people who become ghosts?" He asked in curiosity, yawning widely as they headed to wherever they were going.

@✦Taehyung Ken laughed out, his heart jumping at the other's words, and tightened his grip on their arm link. While he appreciated his words, it was too much for the human to do something like that for him. He said he'd do anything and that meant keeping his friend out of harms way, so he couldn't possibly ask him to do something like that. "I appreciate the thought, but don't do something like that, okay. I can't have you get killed for me. I don't know what I'd do if I had to reaper your soul. I wouldn't be able to handle it Tae."

@ken Tae's heart warmed from the other's words as he felt pure love swell in him, "Thankyou Jae. I'd do anything for you too." Nods a bit, "I'd even find a nice older guy to do you for you, and I'd even yell at that headmaster guy, and if someone hurt you I'd show this school how scary us humans can be." With a firm nod he linked his arms with Ken's and started down a hall.

@✦Taehyung A smile spread across his face and his laughter flowed from his throat as he watched his friend be excited. "Of course. I know I've only know you for a short time, but I'd do anything for you Tae. Now lets go get you something to eat and we'll talk more about our room."

@ken Tae nodded his head with determination as he unlatched himself from his friend. "I'll work as hard as I can to get the funds for it." He couldn't help but laugh with a grin at the other's idea, "Neh! In cool bubbly letters or something. Ah! This is so exciting! Thankyou Jae~!" He couldn't stop grinning.

@✦Taehyung Ken smiled and laughed along as he hugged back wiggled just as much. He was happy that he had a friend to room with now. "Great now we just have to get one. It's one hundred and fifty for a dorm for two people each. So we just need to get the funds to pay for it." Pulling away from the hug he smiled at his friend when he got an idea. "We can put TaeJae on the door. That'd be so cool."

@ken Taehyung nodded slightly, mulling over the other's first suggestion, "Okay, that sounds go-" blinks a bit before his wide and toothy grin finds him. Nodding frantically he flings himself on the other in a tight hug, "Yes! Please! Could we! I'd room with my Jae! I'll be your roommate!" he laughed delighted, wiggling them in the hug.

@✦Taehyung Ken thought for a moment and nodded. "We can go to the cafe. You can eat there and then we can go to the library, so you can sleep there, but I'm not sure how comfortable that will be. I'm actually thinking about getting a dorm room, but I want to have a roommate. If we room together, you can sleep without worrying about being attacked or harassed."

@ken "Somewhere I can eat and sleep without being eaten, and you could study your English." Taehyung smiled softly and tilted his head at the person he was slowly coming to adore, "Any ideas?"

@✦Taehyung Ken missed the feeling of the other's hand, but he didn't let it bother him. There will other chances to hold his hand again. "Yeah Tae-ah, where would you like to go? This campus is huge, so there's plenty to do."

@ken Taehyung nodded slightly, rubbing his eyes with his free hand before reaching up to run his fingers through his hair and shrugged, "Okay then, I'll just let that be." He nodded then let go of Ken's hand, grabbing the few teleported papers and stuffing them in his bag before going back to the other, "Jae ah, can we go somewhere else please?"

@✦Taehyung "Huh. I've never thought about it that way. Yeah I've got to get this curse off of me. I really hope it's off within the next few days if not tomorrow. I know you're not a dog. I just wanted an excuse to touch your hair to see if it was as soft as it looks." They stood in front of the door to the foreign languages room, and Ken opened the door to the still empty room. "Only the smart humans run from danger. The stupid one run into danger like in the horror movies. What did we need to come back here for?"
