The boy sat on the roof of the school dorms, as the sun began to sink. The horizon slowly taking on the brilliant colors every artist has envied and tried to reproduce at least once. He whipped up his camera and took a photo of it to add to his wall of pictures. A hobby that had plastered his entire wall with such images.

He liked it up here, peaceful and quiet, yet not too far from home compared to some of his other relaxation spots, and it occurred to him, that despite having pictures of sunsets from all over the world, this was the first one he had from Arcadia. The cooling air was nice too, but for other reasons tonight.

Isaac's hand gingerly reached up to test the sensitivity of the large and nasty bruise that had taken residence on his cheek, it's black and blue coloring making it quite noticeable. He winced, eyes dropping to the edge of the roof, deep in thought.

Mai was hurrying through the darkened grounds, a stack of library books balanced in her arms almost up to her chin. She hadn't realised she had stayed so late! It would be bad to be caught alone on school grounds at this time of night.

Her feet made light scuffing sounds on the gravel as she dashed toward the dormitories, books flapping and wobbling though somehow she managed to keep them balanced.

She spotted a fellow student up on the roof and skidded to a stop, but that was dangerous!
"I-it's best for you to c-come down!" Mai called up hesitantly, hoping she wasn't being rude or disturbing him. "I-it's really high and... and some bad people can be out at this hour..."

"Some bad people like who?"

Sven couldn't help smirking behind Mai. He could tell just watching her dart out of the library and performing her little balancing act. He usually wasn't fond of girls who were fidgety or the like, but for once, he was in a very relaxed mood. Besides, she reminded him so much of Birdie with that little stutter of hers that he couldn't find it in him to be irritated.

"And Isaac's fine. Trust me."

The boy blinked, surprised to be addressed at all from his perch, and actually looking around at first to make sure she was really talking to him. Then he spotted Sven and waved, pushing off of the roof ledge and in the blink of an eye gating in front of the two of them.

"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not~" he said playfully. He gave Mai a cheery smile. "I'm glad for the concern though, not everyone at this school is so kind." He paused for a moment before his smile grew. "Say, would you like to see something really beautiful?" he inquired, looking from one to the other, eyes almost expectant, much like a puppy, only without the gnawing on your sneakers.

"Eep!" Mai jumped, her books teetering dangerously as she struggled to rebalance them. She turned around, paling slightly as she recognised the other boy. He was one of the scary ones wasn't he...?
She had opened her mouth to apologise before she realised he wasn't paying any attention to her - to her relief, and returned her gaze to the boy on the roof. Isaac...? She thought she knew the name.

Mai managed to stifle a second squeak as the boy suddenly appeared to teleport in front of her, clutching reflectively at her books.
"...something beautiful...?" The question took her off guard, it was such an odd thing to say.
"Um, okay...?"
The fact that Sven was still standing behind her made her hair stand on end, she'd never really met him before, but she'd heard a few rumours about his powers, and hadn't he been in a fight a few times...?

"If I can get there on my own, I don't mind seeing it," Sven replied stiffly. He should've been used to Isaac gating him all kinds of places by this point, but the act itself still left him dizzy at best. "Otherwise, no."

That said, he didn't even ask Mai about her books before tugging them out of her grasp. "I'll hold onto these for you since you can't seem to keep them together on your own."

Isaac smiled softly, which was somewhat strange in itself given how he was normally known for an almost permanent grin.

"It's nicer from the roof of the school. It's why I was up there. Well, for that and the peace and quiet."

He raised one hand and the air rippled in front of him becoming a hole in space, the gates counterpart was about twenty feet in the air above them, the image seen through the gate in front of his hand was that of the beautiful sunset, and the light of it reflecting off of the ocean beyond the city in vibrant colors of red, orange and yellow.

"See? Told you it was beautiful~" he added softly.

"Huh?"

Anya blinked several times in confusion as her eyes carefully scanned the now empty roof. She was sure that she had seen Isaac musing up here only moments ago, and had decided to take the stairs to see just what he was up to this time. However by the time she had arrived... there was no one there.

Her confusion however was soon solved by the sound of multiple voices coming from below, followed by the sudden opening of a portal in front of her. It was obvious by now to whose handiwork this belonged to, and a quick peak over the edge of the roof soon confirmed her suspicions.

But there were others down there too, weren't there?

She took a seat on the ledge and watched, more than content to be an observer to what was happening below.

"O-oh you don't need to do that..." Mai was a little taken off guard when her arms were suddenly relieved of her burden. She felt a little nervous around this man, but he seemed to be genuinely trying to help her.

However she was distracted from her obvious embarrassment by the appearance of a hole in front of her, she gasped and stepped back, for a moment unsure of what she was seeing.
"Oh... wow..." She stretched out a hand and tentatively reached for the surface of the portal, wondering if she would be able to safely step through.
"I've... never been to the ocean." She mumbled.

A flash of red distinct from the sunset caught her eye, and she looked up to the roof.
"A-Mori-Sensei!" She waved, calling up to the redhead. "I-it's nice to see you."
Maybe the girl wanted to be alone? Maybe she shouldn't have called out.

The boy chuckled, having noticed that she seemed the slightest bit skittish. It wasn't that big of a surprise he supposed, as Sven was a little intimidating if you were just seeing him for the first time. His bluntness and state of dress could often be mistaken for something else if you didn't know him.

"Don't worry about Sven, he's not so bad~" He said before leaning in and whispering loudly. "He's just cranky~!"

"A-Mori-Sensei!"

Isaac perked up, and his usual mischievous grin formed, as well as a half-baked idea. Though in the case of Isaac, half-baked normally meant already out of the oven and halfway to your mouth, if we were to stick with the food imagery.

"Anya~!" he chirped, already in motion, as per standard Isaac train of thought, everything was better in groups. Before either Sven or Mai could protest, he had grabbed their hands and dragged them gently through a new array of gates leaving them standing right next to the red headed girl.

He grinned a giant grin that made the bruise on his cheek stand out and spread his arms wide.

"Now we can all watch the Sunset together~!!"

Sven's eyes narrowed a little, but it was only in slight annoyance. Unbeknownst to the rest of them, he was a little hurt by the comment when he never gave Isaac any trouble. It wasn't just because he was another one of Emily's pets either.

"I'm not fucking cranky..." he muttered half-heartedly. "It's that people-"

Before he could finish, Isaac was dragging him and the girl through the portal into the sunset. As always, he felt a twist in his stomach. He knew it wasn't an actual part of the other boy's powers, but it happened regardless.

"Hey, what have I told you about dragging me through these damn portals of yours?!"

Anya let out a sigh into the back of her hands as the rooftop suddenly became much livelier than it had been only moments ago.

She passed a small wave to Mai and a nod to Sven and Isaac before turning her gaze back to the setting fire in front of her.

Watching the sunset together... was it?

Resting her head in one hand and hiding a soft smile with the other, the noise behind her was rather melancholic in a strangely nice way. Perhaps sharing this moment with others was not too bad a thing after all.

Mai flinched a little when Isaac leaned in, but once she processed the word she nodded. "T-that's okay... he's being very nice..."
She was curious when Isaac took her hand, before the bright sunset loomed right in front of her nose. O-oh he meant to- Wait, was that safe?

With a mild squeak, she screwed her eyes shut as her surroundings changed, stumbling as her feet hit the slanted roof.
"A-ah!" She windmilled her arms, eventually gaining her balance and breathing a sigh of relief. Without realising it, she had put a hand out on Anya's shoulder for balance and pulled back as if she'd been burned.

She turned to Isaac, looking mildly annoyed.
"P-please don't do that again."

But watching the sunset sounded nice, and it had been a while since she'd seen Anya. She sat down next to the redhead and drew her knees up towards her chest.
"S-sorry about this... are we disturbing you?"

The other boy grinned sheepishly.

"Sorry about that, but it was the only way to get the two of you up here~!" He returned, rubbing the back of his head. "But can you really complain? just look at this view~!"

He spread his arms and turned in the direction of the sunset which had finally peaked with a vibrant and deep hue of red. He glanced back at the others, cheeky smile on his face.

"Besides, you guys are my friends, and friends share only the best with each other." He added softly.

"Just because it's 'pretty,' yes, I can still bitch about it."

He shifted the books into one arm while digging for his pipe with his free hand. It wasn't that he didn't appreciate the view, but it wasn't often that he went to the trouble of socializing on his own. This was... uncomfortable, really.

He fumbled around to light it, clenching the mouth piece to keep it steady while he lit it with the same hand he'd gotten the pipe out with. When that was finally done, he relaxed a little. It wasn't so bad.

"It's Legs," he said with a shrug. "Hard to tell anything with her. No offense."
