The library, not far from the dorms, happened to be Dio's favorite place in all campus. Since you weren't allowed to make noise, that means he could study without having to deal with background noise. And he didn't go there only for studying, sometimes he'd just read some book that piqued his interest or play games on his handhelds (with headphones on, of course). Since the place was quite big, full of tall shelves forming a small maze, he could just sit on a corner and indulge in some "me time". Now was one such time as he sat on the same corner as always, mp3 player and headphones in their proper places, a small tower of books next to him, and no one around to bother him. Oh, yes sir. He was pretty confident no one would appear all of a sudden and break his current state of spirit. Eeeeyup. |

While the proper noun "Sven" and the noun "library" didn't seem like they would be possible in the same sentence, the fact was that Sven did spend at least a couple hours a week in said library. He might not have sought it out as a safe haven like many students, but reading was about the only non-physical hobby he had. One that he didn't share with others. He didn't really notice much of anyone at the moment, though. He was too busy trying to decide whether he really wanted to read yet another biography on Josef Mengele or not, reading a couple pages of one such book, and not paying enough attention to where he was walking. That was until the toe of his shoe met the sole of someone else's. Sven looked down, ready to growl out a snide remark, but the words got stuck in his head. The black and white was striking enough to jog the fact that he knew who he'd just run into, and at the same time, his memory couldn't put a name to the person. It left him unnaturally silent. |

While Dio was enjoying his heaven, Eileen was in hell. She was slumped over a table, staring listlessly at the wall. Ellie, her roommate, paid her little mind and continued taking notes from the textbook she was leafing through. "Kitten...." mumbled the sniper, looking over at the other girl. "How long is this gonna take? M'bored!" The librarian shot the Irish girl a look and Eileen had the sense to smile nervously in reply, then quiet herself to a whisper. "We've been in here for hours!" Ellie didn't even look up from her work. "It's been twenty minutes and this will take a while. Mrs. Faust always starts out tough in the year." The shorter girl sighed quietly. "You knew I'd be working so why come along? If you're that bored, go walk around or something." Eileen pouted. "But Kitten-!" The librarian shushed her and Eileen resisted the urge to flip her the bird. "But Kitten, I came t'spend some time with you~" She huffed and stood. "Ye know, though...a walk doesn't sound like a bad idea~" She started walking further into the library, humming. "See you in a while~" Ellie rolled her eyes but said nothing. After a little while of wandering, Eileen came upon the sight of Sven staring at Dio, looking puzzled. She grinned and grabbed a book from a nearby shelf, then opened it up to a random page. She didn't want to miss this~ |

"... Ow?" Dio let out after feeling something hit his foot. He pulled his headphones around his head and looked up to see Sven, Giovanni's lackey #2. Oh what a joyous day. Dio didn't really interact much with him or Giovanni's lackey #1, but he didn't care much to anyway. "What?" The young Arcobaleno arched a brow and asked after a moment of Sven just staring at him. "Am I in your way?" He promptly sat upright, crossing his legs close to his body. "Not anymore." Dio was in the process of pulling his headphones back to his ears, but realized Sven still stared at him, like he had some kind of deformity or something. "No, seriously, what?" The young man asked again, looking up at the Elite. |

"You weren't in my way," Sven replied. Great, he probably looked like he was about as thick as the book in his hand. "I was just trying to figure out where the hell I know you from." The other boy's name was just out of Sven's mental reach. He grasped at it, determined not to let himself look like a total idiot, but the more he reached, the further away it seemed to be. The situation was made only worse by the nagging feeling that he should definitely know this person. Edited by sugarapplesweet, Aug 29 2012, 07:59 PM.

"Where you know me from-are you serious..?" Dio asked, only a bit incredulous. "We saw each other just the other day!" Dio wouldn't want to admit, but Sven not knowing who he was, given the circumstances, was kind of insulting. What was he, chopped liver? Was he really that hard to notice. Dio sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose in an attempt not to lose his cool. He proceeded to stand up, looking at Sven with a calm smile. "Alright, let me give you a hint. You know that guy, tall, pale skin, big smile, widly varied color pallette you happen to work for? He's my brother." As he said the last sentence, his smile gave way to a more deadpan expression, which passed across his frustration at not being noticed. |

"Right, you're that Dio kid." Sven pointed at him as if putting a thumb tack into the cork board of his mind. It was bad enough that he'd forgotten his boss's brother, but this was the same guy who had a thing with Ellie. That alone should have made him note worthy. "No reason to get a stick up your ass," Sven continued with a shrug. "I just don't like getting work and life confused. It's nothing personal or some shit like that." |

Eileen listened with interest while keeping her eyes on her book. Quietly, she pulled out her cellphone to text her roommate. "U wont bleve it" She quickly typed, biting her bottom lip to keep a grin at bay. "Ur boyfrend + ur othr lvr r fghtng~" In another area of the library, Ellie blinked when her cell started vibrating. She flipped it open and stared at the screen. Eileen's typing was atrocious. Still, the cat girl sighed and shook her head. So much for studying. She and Eileen texted back and forth while Eileen described her location and what she had seen. "Alright," typed Ellie. "I'll be there in a few minutes. Don't do anything stupid." She stretched and stood, then began gathering her things. She only hoped the guys weren't actually going to fight. |

Dio's frowned in an annoyed manner as Sven talked. Something told him that the guy didn't like him very much, and he didn't really understand why. "First of all, I'm not 'that Dio kid'. It's just 'Dio'." He started, snapping his fingers, letting out a very small flash of light that became the image of a number one floating in midair next to him. "Second of all..." Another snap, another number. "Don't point at me, it's rude." By the third snap of fingers and a number three floating next to him, Dio looked at Sven with a small smile. "Third: I have no such thing up my ass, cool guy, thank you very much." Finally, with a fourth snap of his fingers, the floating numbers exploded into very small, fading shards of light, and promptly disappeared. Dio paid that no mind and kept looking at Sven. "Well, since you now know who I am, are we done here?" |

Sven blinked with every flash of light, but his expression remained unreadable for the most part. It wasn't being he was unimpressed, but he didn't see the point in showing off. Since he remembered Dio's name, everything else fell back into place, including what the other boy's power it was. That and he really couldn't shake the feeling that the light show reminded him a lot of Wise Man Sigma. He didn't think it was his place to mention it. "No, I don't think we're really done here," Sven corrected him. "Because you and I still have a lot to talk about... and I think you know what I'm thinking of."

Dio blinked, not quite getting what Sven meant. "Uh..." He mumbled, trying to think of what he could possibly be talking about, and then it hit him. Dio's eyes went wide as he said: "Ooooh... I get it." How could he not see this coming? "It's about Ellie, isn't it?" He took a more serious expression as he said this, not really wanting to have this conversation. He just wanted to relax and have some "me time". Was that much to ask? |

"Yeah, it's about Ellie." Sven paused, smirking down at Dio. "Don't worry, it's not like I'm picking a fight here. I was just wondering how you were handling it..." The smirk grew into something between a scowl and a grin. "The lonely nights and all." He nudged Dio's leg with his foot. |

Dio immediately blushed and took a step back, jumping slightly when his back hit the wall. "L-Lonely nights?!" He pointed a finger at Sven, and remained in that pose for a few seconds while he tried to come up with something to say. This lonely nights talk really caught him off-guard. "That's not really your concern, is it?" He finally said, bringing the pointing hand back before his mouth as he cleared his throat in an attempt to regain his composure. "If this is your idea of a joke, then I inform you that it's not funny. Besides, should you really be mocking me?" He crossed his arms in an attempt to look indiferent and intimidating. Given that Sven was taller than Dio, it was easier said than done. |

He hit a nerve. Good. "No, I probably shouldn't, but I've got to admit it's fun." Sven didn't come any closer, a sign that he really wasn't trying to start much of anything, and his tone was as conversational as it was in the beginning. "Besides, that shade of red looks damn good with the black/white thing you've got going on. Probably helps that you're pale as all hell." Even Sven wasn't quite sure when his mind switched from teasing Dio to flirting with him, clumsy as the delivery was. It wasn't that it was intention, but no one could deny that's exactly what it sounded like. |

And then Dio blushed again. He blinked, his mind trying to process what the Hell was going on. For a moment, it was just the two of them standing there, with Dio staring at Sven like he had the black plague or something. "Thank you. I think." He first said with an arched brow, treading carefully. "The punk thing fits you nicely, too. But would you kindly tell me what's the point of... well, this?" |
