Jugan staggered into the dorm room he shared with Alice and Pele, well after classes normally ended. He looked like the living dead, only with more... y'know, skin. He flopped down onto his bed, Ruyo settling on the shelf above.
"I need to find a better way to do this..." The Charmer groaned. His entire body ached, and he was exhausted. In fact, Jugan was very close to falling asleep, despite being sweaty and still in the clothes he'd worn all day.
"Hopefully... no one will..." Jugan paused for a massive yawn. "Bother me and wake me up..."

Alice kicked open the door, for no apparent reason. She didn't seem to be in a mood worse than normal, Pele wasn't nagging... Perhaps she only did this out of habit. Alice walked straight to her bed, causing only the left side of her face to be visible. "Hey, Roomie." She flopped down on the bed, then turned her head so that it was lying on the right side. "Fuck, what the hell happened to you? You look like shit."
Pele had made her way over to the chair where she always sat, and pulled out a journal, beginning to write something down in a hurried scribble. It was her memories of both when she was alive and... another time that were bothering her once again, so she was writing them down, trying to piece things together. At Alice's comment, she looked up at Jugan. "... Most likely he had a very long day, I'm sure..." She turned to Alice. "You don't look the best yourself."
Alice waved a lazy hand at Pele, propping herself up on her elbows. A huge shiner was over Alice's right eye, and it was a little bit swollen. There was a trickle of blood from a small cut below her eyebrow, and she wiped the blood out of her eye. "Yeah, well, fuck you."

Jugan woke up with a visible wince as Alice opened the door in her own special way. Too much to ask for, I guess.[/color] Jugan thought as soon as he woke up. He sat up groggily on his bed, with his feet on the door and his arms on his knees. Jugan, too tired to prop himself up, leaned forward heavily.
"I've been taking supplementary lessons using Ruyo's power. I just got done with Hydromancy, Stealth, and Intangibility. I've got my first Flight class tomorrow and... I think I'm going to die. I'm so tired it feels like my legs are made of water." The Charmer's stomach growled. Somehow forcing himself to his feet, Jugan leaned on the wall for support.
"Before I stagger into the kitchen and get to making us all some dinner, what the hell happened to you?" Jugan asked, barely managing to keep his eyes open.

Pele sighed. "Looks like we'll be joining you in that, because apparently being a phoenix for over two hundred years doesn't mean a thing and I still have to learn how to fly." She rolled her eyes, then got up. "Anyways, I'll cook tonight, I need something to do." Pele walked into the kitchen, with Alice yelling at her back.
"Don't burn anything!" Pele turned and stuck her tongue out at Alice, who returned the favor. "Anyways, Jugan, what the hell do you think happened? I got punched in the face. I swear to fucking god, I'm not going to town this late again." Alice rolled over onto her back, wiping at her eye again. "Do we have any fucking Band-Aids?"

Jugan breathed a thank you to Pele, glad he didn't have to cook tonight. The Charmer sat back down on his bed. "I'm sure Shini just wants to know that we're capable of handling ourselves. Besides, practice never hurt anyone, right?" Jugan tried to sound optimistic, failing at it. He stood back up to examine Alice. He stepped closer. "Just hold on for a minute."
The boy slipped on the gloves he used for applying his powers and examined the cut and the black eye. He muttered something under his breath and lightly dragged his thumb over the cut, the wound sealing under said thumb as it passed over. Jugan looked at the black eye next. "That's a bit more serious." The boy muttered idly as he looked at the mark. "There's a way I could fix this, but neither of us would like it and Pele would make fun of you, and to a lesser extent, me." While Jugan's best Spiritual Power at this point wasn't his elemental control, like most of his family members, he excelled in healing. But a shiner like that? It'd require something more intimate than a thumb. Something along the lines of a kiss or something, Jugan wasn't quite sure. He'd have to check with someone who knew how the healing process worked.

Alice hesitated for a moment as she heard Jugan come over, and she winced a bit as he touched the cut. Goosebumps rose all over her body, and she shivered. When Jugan spoke of Pele making fun of her, Alice coughed. "Well, first of all, she's in the kitchen, second of all, I doubt she'd make fun of me after the bullshit I had to deal with today." Alice paused for a moment. "What exactly would this involve? Because my life would me so much easier if I didn't have to walk around with everything reminding me of the fact that I... Erm... Well, it'd be nice to not have to look at this when I see myself in the mirror." Alice narrowly avoided having to explain in further detail as to why she was punched in the face, and besides, she was curious as to what Jugan was so seemingly apprehensive about.

Jugan's cheeks flushed. If he wanted to help Alice, he'd have to do it before she got a chance to kick his ass. The adrenaline running through his system from the sheer idea of what he was about to do woke Jugan up fully. He coughed and looked Alice in the eyes.
"I know what I'm doing, you have to trust me." And with that Jugan put his hands on Alice's shoulders and pulled her in, kissing her. It didn't help that to make this work, Jugan needed some of himself inside of Alice for a period of time. That meant coitus, or swapping spit. Jugan preferred this method. After realizing that he was being sorta creepy for holding it longer than he absolutely needed, Jugan broke the kiss and healed the epidermal bruise, and using then using a quick prayer to heal what was actually inside the girl.
"... You're going to hurt me now, aren't you?"

Alice, to be honest, was not a very trusting person. So being grabbed by Jugan wasn't a very good start, what with what Jugan had said. "Oh, fu-" Alice's objections were cut short once lips touched her own. And then the tongue. Alice was submissive (as per her nature), just kind of smalling herself up when this was happening. Alice felt herself be healed and all that once the kiss was broken, and then she crossed her arms.
"... You're going to hurt me now, aren't you?"
Alice looked Jugan straight in the eyes. "To be frank, yes." She gave a swift, powerful punch to Jugan in the stomach, thankfully without any added flames or the like. "Be glad that was your stomach; if it weren't for the fact that I like you and that you healed me, then it would have been a somewhat lower."

Jugan doubled over with a grunt as Alice punched him in the gut. Truth be told, he hadn't been expecting that sort of retribution. He had been expecting her to yell "Rape!" or knee him in the groin or something. "Be glad that was your stomach; if it weren't for the fact that I like you and that you healed me, then it would have been a somewhat lower." "Well, that's good to know." The boy massaged his stomach where the blow had landed. On the outside, he looked as if he was in a small amount of pain, but there was a WTF moment going on inside. Likes me? ... Nah, she means as a friend. ... Does she? Man, I don't even know what to think with this girl any more." Jugan was thoroughly freaked out by what he'd forced himself to do and by her statement. Seriously, too much in one day. He wouldn't be able to sleep tonight!

Alice paused for a moment, simmering. "You know what? Fuck. I need a shower. I've had too long a day, and I just feel fucking gross." She punched a wall as she left to the bathroom, thoughts racing in her head. I like him? I like him? As what? A friend? I don't have friends. Well, Zeke, but he's cool.... So what is this? Fuck, I think I liked that kiss. Oh, god, oh god, no.
Pele came in just as Alice slammed the door. "... You know, I really think she does like you. As far as that goes, well, I don't know, but you're probably the first male in her life to treat her decently." Pele set up the small table in the room with two plates, forks, knives, spoons, and glasses. She served everything, and sat back down in her chair. "Hopefully Alice's food won't get cold. She needs to eat."

Jugan laughed nervously at Pele's comment about Alice liking him. He occupied himself by feeding Ruyo. "The first guy to treat her decently? Who the.. I hate guys like that..." Jugan sighed as he recollected things from his stay in Keles. "I saw my brother-in-law abuse my older sister once... I couldn't do anything to stop him, and she's dead now..." Jugan sighed and sat down on the floor, resting his back against his bed.
"... Pele, if someone tries to do something to you or Alice... come find me, okay? I want to be able to help." Normally, Jugan didn't pull off the "Oh, look at me! I'm trying t be cool!" thing, but he actually gave off that kinda vibe at the moment. Not that he knew that. As far as being cool went, Jugan was a dumbass.

Pele crossed her legs and pulled out her journal once again. "I hate to break this to you, but I don't think Alice -or I- will ever take you up on that offer. It's not that she doesn't need your help, it's that Alice would be mortified if anyone saw her needing help. It's as simple as that- pride. She's built up a sort of 'tough-girl' image, and even when she can't fight anymore, she never calls for help, never stops fighting herself." Pele paused in her writing. "You know, she told me the last time she cried was when she was twelve and had to move from Keles to Aleph." Pele was silent for a moment as she continued her writing, and then she looked Jugan straight into the eyes. "I want you to promise me something. Even if Alice never calls for help, I want you to be there to support her when she needs it. She won't ask for help, but she'll need it. Simply being there and being a friend will be all you need to do."
At that very moment, Alice came in, dressed in her pj's, pulling a brush through wet hair. Once she got that last tangle out, she tossed the brush into the bathroom and sat at the table, starting to munch on her food. "So, what, I come out and you stop talking? What, were you talking about me? Fuckheads." She flicked her wet hands at Pele, who grinned and continued writing.
"Really, you think the whole world revolves around you?"

Jugan nodded at Pele's request. He somehow figured that she'd never ask for help, but still... Jugan hung his head. "I'm reliable..." He whined. No one had ever relied on Jugan for anything in his life, well, Ruyo did for food, but that didn't count. Wait, one person had, but he was back with Jugan's family. Jugan smiled nervously up at Alice as she walked in again. "We were talking about our Flight class tomorrow. We, well, I at least, know better than to talk about you behind your back." Jugan chuckled nervously. A black face, very demony in nature, leaned forward, next to Jugan's face. "Boo."Jugan shot forward, clinging to Alice. "HOLY FUCK!" Obviously scared, Jugan peaked around Alice to where the face had appeared. A black figure was sitting on his bed with a smirk on his face. "Hello again, Jugan." The figured's smirk turned to a grin, revealing several large fangs. "It's been a while."Jugan sighed in relief, forgetting to move. "Gomess, don't do that!" Jugan laughed and and introduced Gomess to Pele and Alice. "My dad helped him out a while back. He's an okay guy.""... Jugan, maybe you should stop molesting that girl."Jugan blinked and looked down. He was sitting in Alice's lap, and his hands were on her breasts. "... I'm a dead man, aren't I?"(( Gomess(click)))

"..." It took Alice a few moments to comprehend all of what happened. "You just don't get it, do you?" Alice delivered a swift punch to Jugan's face. "I don't take that bullshit." She stood up and walked over to Gomess, holding out a hand to shake. "Evening, Gomess, is it? Lame name; also, your voice sounds like it's raping me. So please, do shut up." Alice walked over to the sink and started washing her plate. Pele looked up for a moment at this new spirit, gave a small salute, then continued her writing.

Gomess winced as Alice punched Jugan in the face, watching him fly across the room. "Nice hit." The spirit gestured with his hand, a small swarm of bats cushioning Jugan from colliding with Pele. "I've been told that before. But I have been planning on changing my name. Ever since Jugan's father rescued me from that stuffy tower, and took me to Keles." Gomess used the bats to set Jugan down next to him. "But, back to the matter at hand, it is time to repay my debt to your family. I'd like to become your contract."
Jugan, voicing a short thanks before Gomess set him down. "... What?" Jugan stared in disbelief at the Bat Spirit in front of him. Gomess was... well, a little weird, but powerful in his own right. Specializing in stealth and defense, he'd compliment Ruyo pretty well. "S-sure!"
Gomess stood up and held out his hand, Jugan following suit. They gripped each other's forearms, a pale blue thread connecting their hearts. Alright, so forming a contract seemed a little cliched these days, but it probably wasn't back when it was made. "... Are you the only male in this room that doesn't look like something out of a horror story?"
"Yeah."
Gomess face palmed.
