The young Delinquent and the Stage Perfomer (Deshi/Haru) (Morning)

"Hmm I'm glad I skipped out today on Mother's homeschooling lessons today I'll the younger siblings deal with that crap" The young man said into his outdated cellphone that was starting to fall apart. The rocking of the ferry he was on, he probably the youngest one on the boat he was currently riding to the AquaSpace Museum. Despite his tiny frame and young voice this was a teenager you could tell because of his cracking voice. "Hmm yeah see ya tomorrow dude" the young man said into the cellphone then hanging up, and slips the old cellphone back into his pocket. The young man has tanned white skin he was wearing a jacket over a white button up shirt he also had a black tie and dress slacks and black shoes. The young boy look bored as he tilted his head and looked towards the sky, and sighed the ferry finally landed at the Island. This young man is a young delinquent and troublemaker, and he doesn't care who knows it. Then he got off the ferry pulled out a cheapo cigarette put on his lips and lit it up with a lighter he wasn't indoors yet so he could have a quick smoke.  

The morning schedule consisted of:
1. Being woken up way too earlier.
2. Trying to sleep in the private car when your parents would not shut up.
3. Arriving at the Endyimon’s Research and Development Building and the surrounding grounds.
4. Trying to eat breakfast while half asleep.
5. Lisa distracting said noisy parents.
6. Escaping.
7. Hiding out on the ferry and actually getting said lost sleep.
8. Arriving at the AquaSpace Museum.

...Yeah a lot of things can happen in the course of three hours. In any case, as the ferry pulled into port Haru was poked awake by one of the ferry people that had been patrolling the large boat for sleepers such as himself. Being woken up by a random person was a bit stressing, but as he looked up at the older man and saw no recognition there, he knew that his quick disguise had worked.

Thanking the heavens for contacts and hoodies, the young man would get up from the corner he was sitting in and stretch to knock out the kinks from being curled in one spot for a period of time. While the young man was still feeling the weight of not having enough sleep, at least now he was somewhat more functional than before. Relaxing his body, he would make some adjustments to his clothing to insure that he was covered up well enough before he was slipping his hands into the pockets of his jean pants. Taking on a light slouch both to blend and because he actually had little energy at the moment, Haru would make his ways to the stairs that led to the upper deck and the exit.

As the small crowd of morning goers exited the boat, Haru would follow being one of the last to exit the boat. As he hopped on land, he would move off to the side to stay out of the way of the foot traffic, he would open up his phone to check the time. It was still early, so he had time to explore and without his parents there to nag him, he could take his time for the moment. He would set a timer to go off nonetheless, so that he could be sure to have enough time to do as he wanted before submitting to the insanity once again. With things set, he would pocket the phone once more and look around the area he was in. He saw most people heading straight inside while others simply loitered around the premises.

Not too concerned about the light crowds, he wondered what he could find in this area to entertain himself. Pushing off from his spot, he would head towards the building with the intent of exploring what was there. As he did this, he would walk past some kid that seemed just as out of place as he was in the fact that he had no parents escorting him; however, what caught his eye wasn’t the obvious, but rather the minor. This one had a cigarette….and quite frankly, a cigarette sounded nice right about now. Haru would pause in his walking as his mind whirled. While he liked the occasional cigarette, outside of his parents or Lisa, he didn’t exactly wandered up to every day people to ask for one…and since he wasn’t a heavy addict or daily smoker he didn’t carry them either. He was beginning to wonder if it was even alright to wonder up to stranger and ask such questions.

…

Screw it. He wanted a smoke and that guy happened to have one. It couldn’t hurt to ask and besides this one didn’t seem like a crazy fan, so time to put the disguise to the ultimate test. Turning back to the way he came, he would drift over to the guy trying to seem as normal as possible in this situation. He wasn’t exactly the best in social situations, but he had to at least try to do things on his own….otherwise he would not be able to accomplish his goal in life.

So pushing down nerves and tension, he would stop a respectful distance from the other as he spoke out.

“Hey. Do you have anymore cigarette’s and if so may I have one?”

Well at least his voice sound calm and chilled enough as he kept his body relaxed and his head slightly bowed so that his hoodie hid most of his features. Hopefully, he could pull this punk off the street vibe well enough.

Disguise: The Ordinary Teen:

Strength/Weakness:

Max looked at the older teen and sighed, he was in a good mood today so he would give him one. "Sure but if anyone asks you didn't get it from me, cuz I usually don't hand out Freebies" Max then pulled out a carton of cheapo cigarettes pulled one out giving it to the elder male, then went back to smoking his own cigarette looking towards the sea an annoyed look on his face. Max looked at the sparkling waters he then put out his cigarette throwing the cigarette on the ground then stepping on it to make sure it wouldn't start a fire. Max started to walk towards the AquaSpace Museum now ignoring the elder teen he had some Sharks Dolphins and other fish to see, that would relax him a lot. Max looked towards the older teen and shrugged he continued into the AquaSpace Museum to look at some exhibits. Max relaxed as he walked around looking at the exhibits.

Well, the good thing was at least the kid didn’t seem to mind him asking him for a cigarette too much and actually handed him one. Seeing the offered item, Haru would move forward to take the cigarette. As he did this, the sun would shimmer lightly off the perfect coat coat of black paint on his nails.

“Thanks,” he would respond back and then pausing he would give the faintest of smirks at the other’s comment.

“Heh. No need to worry about that. We’re square, k?” he said his tone relaxed as he eyed the kid for a bit. This one seemed moody and perhaps in a rush considering shortly after the encounter, he would put out his cigarette and walk off towards the museum. Watching him go, Haru would catch the shrug from the other, but not quite understanding what it was for he would simply blink before watching as the kid followed the crowds inside.

People…were strange and for the moment not his concern as he moved over to a designated smoking area near the dock. Choosing to sit by the water rather than on the benches with people already crowded around them, he would settle in a nice spot by the ocean and place the cigarette in his mouth. After some digging around in his pockets, he would find the lighter he liked to carry with him.
Once found he would flip the elegantly designed item open and go through the actions of lighting the cigarette and then putting away the lighter.

Grasping the cigarette between the fingers of his left hand, he would let out a thin stream of smoke from his mouth as he tried to relax his body a bit more. He would take his time smoking, let the action and watching the waters before him relax him further. When he was done and had ceased the existence of the cigarette by putting it out in the ash tray near the trash cans, he would let out the last bite of smoke within him before placing his hands in his pocket and heading towards the building.

He was feeling much calmer now and so thought he could face the crowds once more. Following behind a couple, the young man would enter the large building and take a look around at all it had to offer before wandering off to view a few exhibits; however, in the end he would end up by the large aquarium are within area. Slowing his pace, he would read about the various fish there before settling before a display of tropical fish. As he watched as most of them swam away from the glass, he found himself easily amused by a particular blue one.

Unlike the rest of the fish, it was a rather small fish that one wouldn’t notice right off the bat; however, the reason it caught his eye was because unlike all the other fish that were quite certain of what they wanted to do, this one seemed to be debating if it wanted to back away or come closer to the glass. Focusing on the little fish, Haru would crouch down so he was more on level with it.

Naturally, the small fish backed up a bit, but then seeming curious it would come forward a bit watching him. Distracted for now by a trivial thing, the common on looker would probably just think he was trying to get a better look at the fish that hid in the corals lower in the tank. As long as he was unbothered, he would continue to watch the blue fish for now.

Max simply watched in somewhat boredom, he had already scene all the exhibits he was now simply sitting and watching, he sighed in relief he had finally calmed down and was relaxed nobody was here to bother him not his family it was great. Max's mind wandered he then saw the elder teen that he gave a cigarette he decided to ignore him.  Max was thinking he then stood up and started to walk towards the exit he had been thinking what should he do nothing was going on at the moment any other 14 year old would just hang out with their friends unfortunately for him he barely had any that was just how things went when you got into a lot of physical fights. Max then leaned up against the wall of the building simply looking out towards the water he was thinking about what to do after this.

Haru wasn’t sure how long he watched the fish; however, the amusement would end when the blue fish decided that it was not as brave as it thought it was and in turn it swam away to hide within the darkness of the rocks that served as its home. Smiling slightly in amusement, he would get up from his crouch and looked around the area for something else to do. As he was doing this, he noticed the cigarette kid from earlier; however, due to the fact that the kid seemed to be leaving the place, the young man made no effort to chase him down.

Sure, the guy was nice enough to give him a smoke earlier, but that did that make them auto-friends or whatever. They were still strangers and like strangers, if the guy wanted to talk to him or what not then he would have to make an effort and approach him. An effort, it appeared the other was not attempting to make any time soon, so blinking and brushing off seeing the guy, the young man would drift between the tanks of water and sea life letting himself get lost in the crowds and semi-calmness there.

Max then after a few minutes decided to walk back into the building, he hated being around a large crowd of people, because he is to awkward around big crowds. Max saw the shark tank the shark was looking at him with it's eyes. Max glared at the shark the shark seemed to cower away from Max, an then Max smiled "Well how do I deal with other people I bet you don't have to worry about that do ya?" Max said to the shark before going quiet. Max then smiled he looked at the shark the shark then swam away Max frowned. Mac needed something to do he hated being alone it sucked. Max then smirked when he saw the hooded man. "Hey hooded guy how's it going?" now Max was waiting for an reaction.

Haru would continue to move through the tall tanks of sea life pausing only to lean down slightly to view a small tank of jellyfish. He was just in the middle of reading the sign that gave a blurb about the creatures when from behind he heard someone speaking. At first he thought to ignore the voice since the naming was rather vague; however, it was the familiarity of voice that got his attention. Standing up straight again, he would turn to look over his shoulder as his eye landed on the kid from before. Heh. He didn’t take him for a social one, so it was quite interesting he had decided to approach him. Even so, the young man did not show amusement towards this one as he turned to face him fully.

“Oh, it’s you again. Hello,” he would say his voice soft, but surprisingly audioable over the chatter that surrounded them. “I suppose things are going fine. You?” he would ask as he slightly nodded his chin at the guy. After that Haru would be quiet wondering what this one actually wanted. Surely people didn’t interrupt things unless they wanted something, right?

"Hmm good is good, I guess" Max said to the elder teen before looking quietly towards the fish tanks. The world around him was silent he didn't here the other people talking the other man would have to initiate a longer conversation otherwise the talk would go no where. Max didn't know how to talk to other people well, so he will usually talk to people when they start the conversation. The young messy haired male then scratched the back of his neck. Max then yawned into his hand, since he had only just woke up a few hours ago.

“Ah. I see,” Haru would say with a light nod. Honestly, he didn’t have much else to say after that. Or even know how to say anything for that matter. Sure talking was easy when he had a script that you memorized or if he could play off a persona to say what needed to be said, but face-to-face with the world just as himself? Socializing with others was a skill he had failed to master. Back when these two had first met, it had taken Haru a full minute to actually approach the guy to ask for that cigarette and now that he was before the kid once again, he honestly didn’t know what to do with him. It wasn’t that he couldn’t hold a conversation it was just it was always an awkward affair of getting one started…especially when said person didn’t seem to be a talker anyway. Yeah leave it to Haru to try and come up with something. Surely, it wouldn't just double the awkwardness factor, right?

....

Haru shifted slightly in his spot as his hands automatically went to his pockets as he looked back at the tanks around him for a moment trying to think of something that wouldn’t sound completely out of place here. Um…let’s see here. They could talk about the fish..No that might get boring pretty fast. How about…? Nope. Oh wait. Let's try this.

Dark colored eyes would look over at the other once more in a laid back manner that didn't display the internal conflict he was having.

“Hey. What’s your name? And did you come here for the reveal or for the fun of it?” he would ask in chilled and smooth tones despite what had happened seconds before internally. Appearing to be relaxed and curious, more so than the nervous wreck he was, he would wait patiently for an answer if the other wanted to give one.

"My name is Maximillian Verde, and I'm 14 years old" Max said as he introduced himself to the older man. When the elder man asked why he came here Max quirked his brow. "Anything to get away from my Family, me and them don't see eye to eye exactly" Max said honestly. "Well it's time for me to go sorry for the inconvenience" Max said as he started to walk away. Max left  the building he had a weird feeling that he would see the strange man again.

-Max Has left the Scene-

Well on one hand he got a name, but on the other Haru was left a bit puzzled. As the other gave his name, age and his reason for being there, Haru had half expected to be questioned back; however, the other decided to abruptly say an apology and then roll out as if nothing ever occurred. “O..kay…” Haru would say the sound barely audible as he watched the other leave. Now, it was true Haru was on the awkward side when it came to conversations, but he had to wonder under normal circumstances did the conversations just suddenly end like that?

Sure, he had all the dinner parties and what not to base conversation on, but the young man hardly found those to be a good example of normal everyday conversation. Still even those fake conversations didn’t seem to just abruptly end like that... Maybe he said something wrong? Hmm…Haru would ponder the situation a bit more before shrugging it off as he pause to check his phone. Seeing as he had some time to spare, he would spend the rest of his morning exploring Aqua Space Museum.
