Welcome to Atlantis Academy! (Lia && Chokuro)

Saga walked into the room, sitting on the couch on the other side, knees pulling to his chest, just to flop to one side, looking over at the man. "Um. Relatively? I'm nervous. I don't know what you're going to say, so um... Yeah." he laughed, figuring honesty was the best route at the moment.
 
"You're not hyperventilating so that's an improvement..." Rylee smiled at the other a little. He collected his thoughts for a minute before speaking again. "I really like you, Saga. You're smart-smarter than you think that you are, and you're adorable, and I've really enjoyed tutoring you. But I can't do that and date you... It would take only one person to complain that I've been giving you answers to tests all along, or that I've been changing your grades..." He paused for a minute more. "I... We'll just need to take it very, very slow, yeah?"
 
Saga sighed softly, turning to look at the other and biting his bottom lip a bit. "so um... Does that mean we can start with cuddling?" He asked, smiling hopefully. "And holding hands. Even if just in private?" He would be happy with that. He did not need to go jump on him like he was some horny teenager. Okay, he totally was, but he could contain himself. For Rylee at least.
 
He smiled a little bit and reached out to take the teen's hand, tugging on it a little. Once Saga was situated with his back to Rylee's chest, the redhead spoke again. "Give it until the end of this semester," he answered. "To do much of anything in public, or to be coming down here often. The knowledge of me tutoring you will have left your classmates' heads by then... And we'll have to go talk to Incubus, follow whatever rules he imposes."
 
Saga smiled and cuddled up against his side, eyes closing as he relaxed, sighing softly. "Okay... and if I still use you for tutoring, I won't be too touchy feely." he added, not wanting the other to think he'd schedule meetings for the sole purpose of cuddling. He would like to, but he would not do it. He sighed. "And Incubus is already having sex with a student... Can he relaly comment?" he mumbled, turning and nuzzling into the man's neck. "But .. I like the end of semester. I can wait until then."
 
"No," he answered softly. "I can't tutor you, Saga... Not if we pursue a relationship. I can help you find someone else, though. And when we're in here, I can help you study. But not like we had been." Rylee pressed a kiss to the top of the other's head before resting his cheek there. "Gabriel can help you," he offered. "I've known him for a very long time, and his husband, Sergei, was his student a long time ago here... Not that Sergei's English is very good yet...but it'll still be good for you to have someone who understands, too."
 
"So you only associate with people who fall for their students?" He smiled, showing that he was teasing. He turned and curled up against the other's side, head on his shoulder. "That's okay, though. I'll only see you once a week like this ... or um... once every two weeks. divy it up and whatnot. Until the semester is over. And if you trust Gabriel and know him, then I would like to use his services." He nodded a bit and closed his eyes while sinking into the man. "Thank you... I'm very happy right now.'
 
"We'll figure it out," he promised, not wanting to set a schedule in stone. "And no," he answered with a light tap to Saga's hip. "Nikkos never slept with his students. I...don't know if Archer did, actually. He's a little...stupid, so he might have." Though he felt that "stupid" was a light term for Archer. "Rune and Calder and Tanner and Relic never did either... Of course, they all got together when they were students but still..."

Rylee smiled at the words and hugged the male closer. "Me too," he answered softly.
 
Saga smiled and nuzzled into the man's neck, sighing contently as he did so. His fingers absently trailed along the other's forearm, sighing. "I don't suppose I could spend the night? Not to have sex! Just to...be with you?" He asked, lifting his head to look at him, smiling lightly- hopefully. He wanted to spend more time with him. Maybe watch a movie, or do anything really. He just wanted more time with him. Especially right now.
 
"I think that spending the night would be a decidedly bad idea," he answered. "But you can spend some time here before you have to go back to your room," he offered. "Just... Raylin will be coming back soon...hopefully with food," he added when his stomach gave a soft little rumble. It was only fair to warn him, right?
 
Saga groaned and pressed his face into the side of his arm, nuzzling him a bit more. "And there's nothing between the two of you, right?" He asked, eyes fluttering up to look at him. "Cuz... he's gorgeous. and I feel inadequate and childish around him." He stated and bit his bottom lip some more.

"Oh! No need to." Raylin said, smoothly walking through the door with the food. "All humans are ... mm. for lack of a better word, subpar ... to gods. It's not you. You're perfect for a human, above average definitely. Quite high about to be honest." He examined the two and smiled more, handing a bag to his friend. "I will go eat in the bedroom like a sap. You two enjoy."

"Oh no no no!" Saga shook his head, smiling. "You can um... join us. Though I'm still trying to think if I'm offended or not and if you're just nuts saying you're a god.... You're not a god, right... Rylee?" he turned to the man, confusion knitting his brows together.
 
"Ehh?" he asked, looking over to the teen. "He'd better be a god or he's been lying to me for the past two centuries about why he left me in the first place," the redhead grumbled. Rylee stuck his tongue out at his friend while reaching forward to open the bags of food. "We were lovers for a short time a long, long time ago," he answered, pulling out the Chinese food containers and setting them on the table in front of the sofa. "You have nothing to feel inadequate about," he assured with a smile, kissing Saga's cheek. "You're gorgeous, too."
 
Raylin stuck his tongue out at the other and then sat down on a chair. Right leg draping it over his left and beginning to eat his food as well. "Mm. I don't lie. Would you like me to show my powers again?" He asked, looking over at the other and smiling some more. "I do not have any romantic feelings for your ... boyfriend." He smiled, resisting the urge to say 'soul mate' and just letting the two be.

Saga smiled at the two and nodded a few times. "Okay..." He laughed lightly. "I've never met a god before!"
 
The semester went quickly. At least it did for Rylee. He and Saga had managed to keep their relationship under wraps for the most part, and the redhead was thankful for that. He never really liked attention and gossip for who he was (or wasn't) dating. Breathing a sigh of relief as he collected the last batch of final exams and dismissed his last class, he sank into his chair and put his feet upon the desk, taking a deep, cleansing breath.
 
Saga quickly skipped through the halls, rushing a little bit faster than he normally would walk. He looked around a few times before slipping into Rylee's room. He quickly rushed to the other and hopped onto his lap, straddling his form with his arms around his shoulders, grinning. "It's the end of the semester!" He stated, leaning forward to press their foreheads together. He bounced a few times, just happy to be with him.

Gideon sighed lightly as he looked around the room and bit his bottom lip. He did not like this. He knew that his heart was going to break and that he would possibly hurt the others. He did not mean to, but he was feeling like an extra wheel recently and he had a job offer and so he just had to talk with his lovers.
 
"Oof!" He didn't have to open his eyes to know who was in his lap and why. The redhead's hands came up to Saga's hips before the teen had even opened his mouth, and Rylee smiled at him. "It is," he agreed with a little laugh. "But I'm going to torture you a little longer and ask that you trust me." His hand came up and brushed a strand of hair out of the other's face gently. "Til Friday?" he asked, only hoping that the other would agree. What was two more days anyway? They'd waited this long, right?

Remus chased after a few of the kids who had escaped art class, sighing in relief when he saw Gideon. "Wanna give me a hand?" he asked, tugging his lover without waiting for an answer.
 
Saga pouted, leaning back a little bit, looking up at the other with interest. He nodded and smiled warmly. "Okay. I can wait two more days." He may not be the happiest, but he would accept that. He wanted to be able to have him, but he could wait a couple more days. "Do I at least get dinner with you today?" He asked, leaning back, biting his bottom lip a little more as he looked into his eyes.

Gideon perked up and followed after the other, sighing softly as he did so. He smiled, finding the kid and scooping up one of them and then under his arm and quickly foud another one to snatch up.
 
"Of course," he answered with a smile. "We'll eat in tonight, yeah?" Raylin had gone about a week ago, and so Rylee and Saga had yet to have a night to themselves. He was looking forward to it.

Remus bent forward, resting his hands on his knees to catch his breath. "Thanks." He smiled up at his lover, leaning up to kiss him softly after he was able to breathe normally again. "They've learned out to unlock doors..." He poked at both giggling boys under Gideon's arms.
 
Saga smiled. "Yes! I love it." He agreed, kissing his cheek and hopping off his lap. "I'll see you tonight then. I'm going to go and get ready." He smiled, kissing the other's cheek before he turned to begin walking out, really wanting to get started and get dressed nicely for their date tonight.

Gideon nodded and kissed his lover's cheek. "hey um. Can we have a family meeting tonight? Well, just the four of us?" He asked, bouncing the boys up and down then walking back to where the art room was to drop the kids back off.
 
Remus raised an eyebrow. "Sure?" He studied Gideon for a minute, taking one of the kids from his arms. "Are you okay?" he asked, worried. It had been a while since they had all sat down to talk about something, and longer since one of them had asked the rest to sit and talk. They reached the art room and the brunette sent the boys back into the room with a wave to the teacher, and then turned around to Gideon for his answer.
 
Gideon perked up, looking at his love and he smiled gently. "I'm okay." He stated, pulling the other into a hug and kissing his cheek gently. "i'll be all right. I just need to talk to you guys all at once." He hugged him, purple eyes closing as he held onto him some more, swaying back and forth before sighing and letting go of the other, kissing his lips. "I'll see you and the others tonight, right?"
 
He nodded slowly, still studying his lover. "Yeah. Tonight." Remus leaned up and kissed Gideon softly. "Love you." He really wished that he could pull the other aside and spend some more time with him, but there was so much to do for the orphanage, and they needed all the help they could get.
 
Gideon nodded with a smile. "Yes." He kissed him back. "I love you too." He watched him off then went to go about the rest of his day.

At the end of the day, seeing Romulus and Pierce at the table and Remus... it just made him feel even worse. He bit his bottom lip and went to sit on the chair near the others, smiling lightly as he did so. "You know that I love you..." He sighed softly, looking from one lover to another and he bit his bottom lip. "But... I can't... do this anymore." He sighed, his heart sinking just a little more. "I know that you three have done all that you can to include me, but I still... at times... feel like an extra. Just someone there when Pierce isn't, or when Remus is off coloring with the kids. And I... I got this great opportunity to go to England and study and work with my psychology degree. To actually do what I got my doctorate in. the kids are great, I love them and I love spending time with them but ... I have the chance to make something in my field and I want to. But I don't know how long it's going to be and I don't want you guys to feel ... I don't know. I just... I think I have to leave our foursome and.... and go off on my own."
 
Remus sat there speechless. This...couldn't be happening. They'd all been together for so long. How could Gideon have not said anything to any of them? They all would have done anything to help him to not feel like an extra. How could they have not noticed that he was feeling off? Remus slid from his seat and wrapped his arms around Gideon's neck, tears slowly seeping from the corners of his eyes. "You were never just an extra to any of us," he answered softly. "We all love you, so much, and if doing something that you love for yourself means leaving us, then I know that we'll support you, even if our hearts hurt from missing you."
 
Gideon wrapped his arms around the other's hips, burying his face into the crook of his neck. He gripped him a little more, nuzzling him some more. "I love you guys... I really do but I... I just... I think maybe even just some time on my own." He whispered and then pulled his head back to look at the others. "I... I want to go try the job and be on my own for a while... I... I will not say that I'm never coming back, I cannot just do that. You guys are my lovers and we have our beautiful children and you'll never be replaced, but I just ... Time."

Pierce bit his bottom lip and looked at the two, holding onto Romulus's hand tightly. "Gideon... I will support you. You supported me when I had us move here and ... and I love you. We all love you but... but if you feel you need some time apart..."
"And we never meant to make you feel out of it!" Rom added, straightening his form and looking at the others, biting his bottom lip as he did so.
