There was perhaps one upside to the aspect of the school's curfew, and that was while one couldn't head into town past 11pm, they were free to roam the campus to their heart's desire. Many places were spectacles within themselves, housing the kind of beautiful scenery some spend their lives searching for. It was all within the student's backyards. And occasionally, one would stumble across something undiscovered. That was the amazing thing about the place; there was always room for surprises.

Time rounded past midnight and Lucas found himself unable to sleep for more than one reason. Though it had been quite some time since the Star Girl moved out, he was still not completely accustomed to sleeping without the soft glow of her skin that came at night. He rarely got the right amount of sleep and, instead, spent most of his time wandering the campus, sticking close to the gardens. There he could at least watch the sky as he had become used to and be a safe distance from Stella, who was most likely on the roof till all hours of the morning.

In the gardens, wandering the edges of the place, Lucas found something a few nights ago, something he felt no need to share with others for the most part. But something drew him back into the Living Quarters; to the second floor. To room Fourteen. While he was aware Zxaine had a roommate, he was also aware that Zxaine had some kind of hold on the girl, and was sure no harm would come if he woke her at this hour.

So he knocked on the door and waited.

Zxaine wasn't a night owl, in fact, she was usually asleep a few hours after she left Lucas for the night. After her homework was done she had little left to do other then tidy up and she did enough of that all day. Thus she wasn't awake when Lucas was doing his late night prowling of the gardens, she assumed he was asleep as well.

Damion was curled up at the foot of the bed, the cat's ears twitching whenever he heard something. He was a light sleeper usually, moonlight filtered into the girl's room onto her bed, making her pale pink comforter seem almost white in it's glow, the girl's dark hair braided so as not to make a tangled mess as she slept.

A knock roused her and she opened one eye, lifting her head groggily. She could hear Kristy breathing deeply, the knock hadn't been her... then who?

"Damion, get up." She whispered and tossed her blankets off her, adjusting the black fleece pants she wore and the 3/4 sleeve t-shirt. Who on earth would knock on her door at this hour? "Coming." she said quietly, though she knew whoever it was would hear her, the girl's bare feet thudding audibly on the floor. Fingers reached out, grabbing the knob and twisting it open. Hazel eyes, almost chocolate brown in the lack of light, peered out into the hall only to see Lucas. A blush rushed to her cheeks at him seeing her in such a state, her hair in a simple braid and her nightclothes frumpled from sleeping in them. "Hey! You're up late." she opened the door wide so he could step in.

"Hey! You're up late."

"Sorry," Lucas began relatively quickly, realising that she wasn't a night person, "Did I wake you?" It was the obvious question to ask; one he didn't really expect an answer from. Of course he'd woken her up. He took a few steps into the room as she stepped to one side, looking over the way she blushed as he entered. "If you're tired, I understand, but I couldn't sleep. I rarely do lately." He explained, feeling no need to delve further into the statement. The reasons for his sleep deprivation should have been obvious.

"But, I wanted to show you something. I can't really explain it properly..." Lucas paused, trying to string his words together. He felt a little strange asking her to come with him, though he couldn't understand why, "It's almost like a secret section of the gardens. I want to share it with you, if you don't mind." He had stumbled on his words slightly, making the request sound a little awkward.

"Sorry, Did I wake you?"

"Oh. It's okay, don't worry about it." She had woken up fairly quickly when he'd entered, Damion had merely curled up on the floor and watched the two with an idle gaze.

"If you're tired, I understand, but I couldn't sleep. I rarely do lately."

"No, I'm okay. Just nothing much for me to do at night besides sleep." the second part of his statement made her frown slightly. "You can always wake me up if you need company, no matter what hour." She knew why he wasn't sleeping, she felt no need to state the obvious.

"But, I wanted to show you something. I can't really explain it properly..."

His sentences seemed awkward, as if he was embarrassed or something, though the girl had no idea as to why that would be. She blinked and nodded, encouraging him to continue.

"It's almost like a secret section of the gardens. I want to share it with you, if you don't mind."

Her mind was blown. He wanted to share a secret spot of the gardens with her? HER? A smile graced her expression and she nodded again.

"I'd love to, I don't mind at all." If she ignored the fact that they were just friends and that Stella was still technically his girlfriend... she could almost view this like a date of sorts. She would never voice this but it cheered her heart to know that he wanted to share something secret with her. Her hand reached towards him, inviting him to take it. "Lead the way."

"I'd love to, I don't mind at all."

From that response, Lucas would never guess that he'd just woken up. Any signs of tiredness seemed to drain from her from what he'd said. And yes, of course he knew what it seemed like. It was why the whole conversation seemed so awkward. But he was doing best to look past the seemingly obvious of it all.

"Lead the way."

"Uhh-" He didn't want to ruin her excitement, obviously. It was just... "You might want to change before hand. It can be a bit of an awkward journey." He explained quickly.

He hesitated and she blinked curiously, unsure as to why he was not leading her off already. It didn't occur to her that she wasn't exactly dressed for the rather brisk, cold, autumn night in New York. Then again, this was the girl who would wade out in water that was near freezing without a care about it.

"Uhh-"

She tipped her head to one side.

"You might want to change before hand. It can be a bit of an awkward journey."

She blinked and looked down at herself, having completely forgotten that minutes before she'd been asleep. She wiggled her bare toes then laughed at herself, how silly of her. She had no shoes on!

"Oh... Yes, shoes and a scarf might be nice.... and maybe a warmer shirt. I'll be right back!" She grinned and disappeared into the other room. If he listened he'd hear her drawers opening and closing, but he probably wouldn't be listening for something like that. Damion looked up at Lucas, standing up after a moment and stretching and wandering over to the boy. The large feline reared up and butted his head against Lucas' chest by way of greeting then sat down again and looked disinterested in him all together. A few moments later the girl reappeared, wearing a long sleeved, yet still flattering (as if she'd own anything that wasn't flattering to her form), shirt and a matching scarf hanging around her neck. She had also donned a pair of sneakers, a type of shoe she rarely, if ever, wore but they were comfy, and if a lot of walking was involved it would protect her feet better then her more normal sandals or heels. "Better?"

She was gone in an instant. For the most part, Lucas simply stood there waiting for her; of course in his head he was mildly annoyed at how he'd worded his request. It all could have sounded, well... Better. A lot better. But with the desired outcome, he supposed it was going to be alright. Then he noticed Damion. To be honest sometimes he forgot about the feline's presense, not that he would ever admit it. Nevertheless, he moved to greet Lucas in a way, his head against the boy's chest before he moved away in disinterest. At least he'd been acknowledged.

"Better?"

Lucas felt no need to respond; instead he simply turned and opened the door, standing to the side to allow her to leave first.

(Mooooving on~)
