Danny walked through the tall, towering shelves of books. He coughed every now and then, as the dust he was breathing in became too much for his lungs. The library was dark and, he assumed, empty. Though if anyone was lurking in the shadows of the shelves he had not yet passed, he doubted he would be able to hear them. The dust in the air alone seemed enough to stifle any noise.
He stopped at a shelf containing books that seemed considerably thicker than the others. Squinting, he tried to make out the titles. Satus - Obscurum Sceptrum, one read. He dragged the hefty volume off the shelf, along with two others with simlar titles. The books he had chosen were all regarding the history of Obscurum Sceptrum. He had noticed odd things about this island and desired to know more.
He carried the books to a table that was lit by a single lamp that gave off an orange-yellow glow. With a sigh he lifted the topmost book off his pile, opened it, and began to read.

The smallflickering flames of the library amused Halo. They where so small but so still so beautiful. There orange glow ending in pulses that flickered with every small gust of wind. You couldn;t blow them out though. A flame never surrendered nless you sarounded it first.. but why would you want to. He thought to himself.. if anything he wanted to think of a way to make the flame last..
He was frustrated as he sat at the table in the corner the light only went to half of the page. Biting his tounge he sneekilly made the flame move in its little glass jar so the light fixed over the whole page. He smiled and read slowly. It was an old gothic book. He smiled at the shear almost grotesque beauty of the poems.
He was dressed in black with dark red stripes on the long glove of his right hand. His hair hanging over the deformed side of his face. He had learned to dress like this... not because he didn;t beleive in hope it was mainly cause it was the ebst way to hide.. the best way to explain how he looked. Hiding in plain site. His sleave was actually ripped off just under where the glove started it made people look but ignore him. Its what he wanted anyway.. well sometimes.

Danny jumped, hearing a slight rustle behind him. He turned, blushing furiously at how easily startled he was these days. He watched the boy behind him curiously. His dark attire, the hair that hung over his face. Danny found him beautiful, but in a sad way. He stayed like that for a few minutes, just looking at the boy, until he realised he was staring.
He turned quickly and closed the book he had been reading with a soft thump. A cloud of dust rose from the book, causing him to break into a violent coughing fit. He looked back at the boy, hoping that he hadn't noticed.

Halo smiles as he scanned over the page. He read the latin on some of the pictures.. both beautiful and dark.. Halo smiled as he came to a poem wich was a conversation between a Man and Grimm...
"No man has beat the reapers dice and man has tried to live it twice But poor soul soon you'll see in the end all things belong to me"
The man smiled to mock the grimm To key to life lived in him "what if I offer what you cannot reep and one more day my life i keep?" "I will use it well to tell my love that I'll care for you from above"
"If you offer the right of wings I'll let you tell her these sweet things but ye be warned for down below there's no way out of torturers row"
"If thats the sprice to see her beauty then I buy my day befor you serve you're duty" He looked up when he finished and his eyes met another boy. Who was staring. Halo always felt like apologising when people stared. As if somehow just by being there he had done something wrong. He bit his lip as the boy turned away.
His clenched lips formed into a small laugh as the dust flew up from the book. He blushed on the left side and felt nothing on the right. He stayyed there in the shadows fear and routine keeping him from speeking.

Danny had to laugh at how ridiculous he was being. His pale cheeks were tinted with pink, and his eyes aglow with a mixture of mirth and embarrassment. He was acting like Danny, like William even, but not Frank. No, Frank wasn't this jumpy, Frank wasn't so easily embarrassed and mostly Frank was charming.
So that's what Danny would be. Or at least try to be. He didn't have to be himself, that was the brilliant thing. He didn't have to be anything, he was what ever he wanted to be and it didn't matter what people thought of that. He grinned at the thought.
He pushed the books aside, a confident smile upon his lips. On Danny that smile would have looked so out-of-place, so unusual, but he was not Danny. He stood, approached the other boy with a charming smile and glittering eyes. 'Hey.'

Halo watched the boy get up smiling. He must of seen someone behind Halo.. or maybe he was getting a book from there. He looked back and hit his cheek on the wall. Just a wall. Just in the corner in the shadows. His eyes went wide. That meant.. he was coming over to him.. That couldn't be right... could it. Maybe he was dreaming. He then remembered the pain of the wall. That was real.
Oh no oh no... what was going on. He was near panicing. His hair was over his face.. GOOD! His glove was covering his scars *check*. What was the boy smiling at what was he going to do Hey! Halo half jumped. SHIT! He was talking to him wasn't he.. he should say something back anything.. No not anything something smart.. no something kind..
He looked up embaressed. Biting his lip.. The boy looked so confident. It was almost intimidating. He scowled inside you realy wouldn;t need much confidence to talk to him would you.. His mouth opened. "..." Nothing came to mind his jaw dropped "...H-hi" Just genious Halo just Genious! He thought sarcastically.

Danny had to bite his lip to restrain from laughing at the boy's reaction. He seemed terrified, or shy. Or both.
He offered a more sympathetic smile, but it held no less charm than the one previous. 'Don't look so scared, I don't bite.' He grinned at the boy. 'I'm Frank' He held out his hand, offering to the boy.
Danny's eyes, however, wandered over the desk. His eyes widened as they fell on the open pages of the book he had been reading. A brighter, more earnest smile made its way across his features.

Don't look so scared! why wouldn't I look scared you're so so... Halo's thoughts trailed off quickly as the boys smile turned more sympathetic. He almost melted staring at it. I don't bite.. I wouldnt have trouble if you did He paniced for a second then let out a silent sigh when he realised he didnt say it out loud. He sank a little lower in his seat lightly retreating. The boy was drawing him in with his beau... he stopped himself from thinking like that because he was drawn in was the exact reason he needed to back away.
He didn;t keep his eyes off the boy's face though descreetly staring through the one good one not covered by his thick black hair. He watched the boy looking over the book this amde his heart leep. He loved the peotry intriquite designs and the carefully painted medieval pictures marked on every page. He half wanted to reach out to close the book just to see if the boy would stop him.
In the midst of all the thoughts he realised something. The boy was introducinf himself. He managed to miss the name and could only stare at the hand. His ahnd twitched. Covered in black and red fibre. Oh no.. He could just leave the hand there and smile sheepishly pretend he was embarressed but then the boy might leave or think he was rude but then again if he extended his hand would the boy feel the scars.. would the boy see the wince of pain in his eyes at even the slightest touch. "Uh.. Im..." He had to think for a second.
What has his mum named him... "Halo!" He said a little too loudly blushing on the 'good' side of his face. He raised the glove hand shakilly and extended it to him. Please god let him be blind!

'Halo? An interesting name.' Danny smirked, looking up at the boy quickly before letting his eyes settle back on the pages of the book. He shook Halo's hand, distracted.
He thought for a moment, his brow furrowed slightly. Danny liked this boy, he reminded him of himself when he was... well.... himself. 'Mind if I join you?'
Without waiting for a reply he was already halfway back to the table he had been sitting at earlier to grab the books he had been reading

Halo smiled at what he hoped was a compliment. "My mum was trying to find the word for light bringer and Lucipher didn't seem the right way to go" Halo was about to slap himself.. the one thing he managed to say without stuttering makes him sound like a total nutter.
He quickly composed himself as the boy asked to sit about to nod he saw the boy sitting and for some reason blushed. He was amazed at how easy it was for this boy. Halo felt like prodding and poking at him to discover his secrets.
He suddenly felt a need he had never had befor. He felt the need to impress this boy... how ever that was going to happen he did not know.... He thought back to when the boy was sneazing and smiled to himself. Taking a bit of power from the inocense. From the boys light blush on his perfect skin.

Danny returned at sat next to the boy. He looked Halo over with a raised eyebrow. 'Indeed, I don't think the name Lucipher would have suited you' He laughed softly 'But why light bringer?'
He put his books on the table, making sure to turn his head so he didn't get a breathful of dust again. As he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of Halo's blush. He bit on his bottom lip, the other boys reaction to him making him feel slightly giddy.
Frank was working.

Halo looked at the boy the question rang in his memory. Halo looked to the man who was his father shakilly hugging the leg of a chair.. He was so small his Dad apeared even stronger. "Irony... you're mum use to say you where going to bring good things... bring light back to our lives" He watched the old man scull some scotch. "Light bringer... Halo" He jsut smiled knowign it was the right thing to do. "Because I was going to bring good things"
He looked down his eyes wandering onto the page reading the first lines. He bit his lip. No man has beat the reapers dice and man has tried to live it twice But poor soul soon you'll see in the end all things belong to me He turned the page quickly looking back at the boy. His presents comforting him.
The spread page was half cosumed by time but it was make out two figures gothic... anglic wings. Closely imbraced and besides the slight bulging of ones chest hard to tell the between the masculine and feminine. Latin writing at the top loosely translated to the love story. Omen.....

'You were going to bring good things? Don't you anymore?' He had picked up one of the old books and was absent mindedly flicking through its pages, the old paper bristling and cracking beneath his fingers. The smell of the paper, of things old and things forgotten drifted up to his nostrils.
Things forgotten no longer. Memories' caress took his mind. This book, he had seen it once before. Even the smell was familiar. The years of training. The ancient language. He gasped and slammed the book shut. His face grew pale, paler than the already unnatural tone it was.
He looked to Halo, trying to hide the obvious, the unsettling memories stirring within. He found little comfort in the boy's face, or in the book that he was reading. It only caused a ceaseless whispering in the back of his mind.

Halo bit his lip. He looked down as if Frank's eyes where accusing him. His voice dark. I never did he thought to himself. He stroked his long black hair for a second force of habbit.. hiding his shame. He lifted his eye with a smile hoping to game some strength from the others boys expression.
Instead his expression was just as dark as Halo felt. He twisted his lips. "is... something wrong" He said looking blankly at the book the boy held. He knew the expression he knew the pale look. The absolute discomfort of the boys eyes.
He remembered the face from the window. From the relected glass of the night. The same expression he had when he had first dreamt of... A sombre expression on his face halo shakkilly reached out a ahnd and stroked some hair from the boys forhead trying to looking to his eyes.

Danny seemed to shake some of his discomfort at Halo's words, regain some of himself. He tried to smile at the boy. 'No...uh, i'm fine' His voice shook a little as he spoke, but he was glad to say not too much. He cast his eyes away so that they would not betray him as he spoke. 'I just remembered, i should be some.....' His voice faltered when Halo reached out, and he was left looking dumbstruck and feeling rather confused. Without a betraying word, he stared blankly at the other boy.

Halo desperatly wanted to say something now. Say anythingto explain why he was keeping his hand there. The boy was ofcourse a little taller. They where the same age by the looks of things but the other boy was confident and infantly more mature.
He could feel the blush returning and he cursed himself. He open his mouth a little and instantly he felt his hot breath escape his lips and enloaf his chin. He realised the tingling in his hand just by touching the boys face... the boys hair. His lower lip quivering even more unsure of what to to say.
"I.. was just cheking out... i meen just cheking your beaut... your eyes" He said biting his lip. If his hopes where ture his stutter would of broken the stream of affection he felt and if the cold hard truth of confusion shown through the boy would run know and Halo would loose the only person he ever realy had.. eveni if he had only had him for a few short moments.

Danny looked at the boy, frightened by his display. 'I really have to go' He muttered and pulled away from the boys hand. He grabbed his books and stepped away from the table and the boy.
His mind filled with confusion, thoughts tumbling over one another, not pausing to let him make sense of them. His confidence was gone and he was Danny again. What had that boy wanted? Why Did he touch him like that
He took another step backwards, almost afraid to turn around. A small shiver creeped up his spine. He was being irrational, he knew. But this was just too strange. Too creepy.

(poor Halo) Halo bit his lip and watche dthe boy stand up. He tried to hide the dissapointment in his eye. His figners limp. He wished he could jsut lay against the wall and burn alive. Ofcourse he was fire proof so it was impossible but the desire to do so was almsot to great to bear.
Maybe he could just slink back into the shadow hide his skin by the black covering of his hair and glove. Just dissapear into one of the books and never come back.
"I-im sorry" He said freightened by the byos scared expression. He jsut wished he could be... normal.

Danny paused for a moment, watching Halo with shock and curiousity, calmed a little by his display. It was enough to allow him to regain his composure, to gather the pieces of Frank and put the mask back together. If Halo was not as broken as Danny then he feared his charade would have been ruined, but he had found himself lucky.
He straightened himself, standing to his full, towering height. 'No need to apologise.... Perhaps I can stay a little longer?' Inside he was shaken, but he hid it. He bit back the uneasiness that came from talking to this boy, until he could be Frank again.

Halo felt the silence swallow him. Frankies taal shadow engulfed him. He felt though the boy was watching him. Those two angelic eyes peering onto him. He mistook the pause of composure for judgement and felt himself sink deeper into the flames of his mind.
but then.. 'No need to apologise.... Perhaps I can stay a little longer? He smiled. Most people would of found the change strange sudden and suspicous but Halo had no idea what was normal for people. He blushed realising he wasn;t answering.
He looked up and gave him a small nervous smile. "Ofcourse" 'why would you need to ask' "I dont think you've told me your name yet" Halo had to smile at how smooth it sounded.
