Bound to Happen II ( Gabriel/Devon/Open )

[Ceraphine Davis]

Another day at school. Gah! She hated this place more and more with every time she had to enter these fucking halls. Growling softly, dressed in her usual and all to familiar tank top and jeans she pushed open the entrance and made her way into the building. Her hand coming up to push back her shades to the top of her head as she brushed her tongue over her lips and sighed softly.

Honestly sometimes she just felt like leaving this place and being done with it. But she had vowed to finish school....For Mischa...and even though they were not together, she honestly felt that she still owed the girl a fulfillment on her promise.

Just then, a freshman ran right into her, causing her to growl with irritation as she shoved him back and into the wall...His head hitting rather hard as she narrowed her eyes on him. Yeah, it was not "fuck with Kev day" that was for sure.

As the kid lifted up his hands in a gesture of not wanting a piece of whatever she was threatening to give him, she rolled her eyes and then turned to make her way toward class.....Yeah...class...sure....Maybe she could just skip today and get into some trouble or maybe she could just...../

She was lost in thought just then when she ran smack dab into somebody. Making her growl once more as she felt her hands trembling and anger spiking....Yeah not entirely sure who it was, she looked at the ground, trying to gain some composure over the matter before she completely lost her mind in the middle of school.

"Excuse...you..."

Her words no more than a hushed growl as she clenched her fists and then bit upon her lower lip. Long black locks falling about her petite frame.

( OOC: Gabriel first, then Devon when he chooses to enter, then open )

[Gabriel Seran]

Like most other things it wasn't common place for Gabriel to be on school grounds, at least at a reasonable hour. The timing seemed perfect enough however to get off of work, lunch time, always a favorite for high school students to take advantage of their fleeting freedoms. Perhaps now was some good time to perhaps blend in? Maybe take advantage of what fleeting youth provided.

Gabriel Seran dressed in his finest business attire it'd seem would enter the cafeteria without much of an expression, he'd always been rather cold as a matter of fact and that inspired fear it'd seem. Reasonable but all the same perplexing. Passing up the line entirely Gabriel situated himself in the center-most table, finding it free of students was merely evident considering his loner mentality set in place. With an elongated grasp he'd set aside the briefcase he carried on him at all times these days and grab from beneath his coat something of money value.

"Bonjour... Could you do me a favor ma belle," He'd reach out to the hand of a younger girl perhaps a young sophomore at best.

"Anything..." The fluttery stare in her expression mixed with an upbeat tone giving away the fluttering in her chest.

"Would you mind getting me something ma belle, something off the entrée meal s'il vous plait?"

Gabriel would rabble of quickly in his rather Americanized French accent. It'd been a long thing coming from actually transferring between schools to now. He'd even begin picking up an Australian accent from Alexis.

Winking in a sly fashion the girl in the yellow dress would flutter away, a skip to her movements implying a happy gesture. Gabriel would disregard the thought leaning inward and down into his right hand positioned just enough to conceal his face. He doubted very much anyone would find the medal to sit by him. Perhaps it was the aura he gave off? It was always difficult to recruit and keep members whereas "Unfettered" it only seemed natural.

[Ceraphine Davis]

( OOC: Gonna keep posting for now..Cause I ish bored and I can. Hehe )

Soon enough the little altercation she had gotten herself into was ended, mostly with the person moving out of her way. Sure, Kev had become somewhat of a bully as of late but honestly she did not care....

It was just how she was and honestly who cared right?

Shaking her head she continued on, only to find herself having to cut through the lunch room, finding it the easiest way out of this fucking place and to a secluded spot where she could calm the fuck down....

But it was not really gonna happen for her. Not today at least, because the instant she entered the lunch room, a feeling hit her, one that she recognized and yet could not place.

She stopped, her brow lifting as she tried to place it. A little bite given to the lower corner of her lip as she scanned her icy hues over the lunch room....

Finally eyes fell upon a figure, one that seemed to be the source of the feeling she was now getting yet she could not really place who it was....The features too well hidden at the moment...Yet upon seeing the figure of the person, she got a sinking feeling in her stomach.....

No....It couldnt be....She was sure of that....It was soooo not him....Already her hand twitched as she found herself making her way toward said person, stopping just off to the side as she drew in a heavy breath........She knew who it was......She had known since she entered the room....She just did not want to believe it.....

"Hmm...Well look who's here."

Her tone not exactly the friendliest it had ever been nor the most inviting.....But it was there none the less.

[Devon]

Devon didn't spend much time in class, he would only wander in, find out his homework assignments and rests, and leave just as quickly. Anything beyond that was just unessential, which left him being able to do as he pleased. This lent itself to his personality, he enjoyed being able to simply move about the school as he pleased.

Of course his stomach always seemed to drag him to his bike, or the lunchroom. In this case he didn't feel like driving off, he had been feeling more grounded as of late, as he was not nearly as content as he had been. Things had gotten complicated quickly, and so he stuck closer to routine subconsciously in an attempt to regain his sense of control over the course of his life.

He also wished he had control over the cafeteria food, which he took one look at and instantly decided he would rather go without. After picking a soda out of a vending machine he walked back into the cafeteria, scanning the rows of students in hopes that he would find a moderately open space.

Of course he hadn't expected his path to converge with Kevala, as he hadn't even spotted her until she stepped in front of him, unaware of his presence, as she stepped up to the young man he was going to take a seat next to out of it's sparsely populated status.

Devon would've made note of the fact she had cut him off, likely in a way that would be petty intrusive considering the recent drama drawn on by things he still hadn't been properly explained about, but he noticed that something was wrong. The way she positioned herself told him all he needed to know: whoever she was staring at had pissed her off in a way he had experienced himself.

Luckily he had no intention of stopping her this time around, and so he merely stepped up behind her, on her right, his elbow brushing against her side as he slipped past her. He walked to the other side of the male she had locked her senses onto, and sat down with his back to the table, glancing to the left, glancing between the two.

I'm not really sure what is going on, but maybe it'll be therapeutic.

[Gabriel Seran]

It always seemed quietest before the storm as the noise of the booming cafeteria seemed to dull most evidently signalling a person of peculiar interest had made their entry in. However not being an actual student here Gabriel didn't avert his eyes to look upward towards the character only drawn by a subtle sound words all to recognizable from a time he'd left behind only to return in his own due time. Just as promised.

"Hmm...Well look who's here."

His emerald gaze teetered upwards towards the familiarity. Kevala Katashi. It'd been quite awhile since he'd last seen her. 259, the school where so much had come to pass, fire brimstone the crumbling of old empires and the beginning of new ones. Just as he'd raised her to be resilient towards those who'd put her down the woman stood here so close and yet again so very distant.

Tracing her features over with soft complexion he noted every little detail of those near and aside her. Even the male taking place at his flank. Depending on her reaction to the boy would gauge his next thoughts. "Certainly has attained some semblance of power it seems..." A court grin in return. He was caught no hiding himself any longer rather he could use this opportunity to use the power of the masks to assist him.

"Hello Kevala...long time."

Gabriel's voice all too calm facing her in a state of affliction, yes he'd gotten all to used to the force her abilities implied. Sensing her state in the air as though it mingled with everything else. His frame never changed from its state of complete assurance. Even as little miss yellow dress reappeared with something from the lunchroom, only the finest.

"Here you go...I didn't get your name." Her silky voice permeated with an airy disposition all too preppy for what he liked but then again most men were easily swayed by the obvious propositions it implied.

"Thank you... though I apologize you'll have to wait on that proposition.." Gabriel would again state simply never shifting his gaze from Kevala as the yellow dressed girl shot a glare at her in return to his statement.

Jealousy was quite a powerful emotion. Something that permeated beyond that of the skin and often bore deep perplexities in the human psyche.

[Ceraphine Davis]

Honestly, she had been hoping up until he spoke that it was not him. Of course it could not be Gabriel. Why? Because she said so! Her thoughts distracted for a moment as somebody touched her, a growl barely held back as she turned and then let her eyes settle upon Devon..

Normally she would say something but in this moment she really had a one track mind. Another point that made her all the more angry. FUCK! Why the hell did he still capture her attention after all this time?

But then that thought was too cut short as a bouncy little ray of fucking sunshine entered the picture. Aww. How cute. Kev thought it was pathetic but then she knew how much of a charmer this man could be.....Not to mention she was not focused on the girl, more so on the one she had just served.....

At least that was the plan, until she caught that glare. Heh yeah.....No...

Her first shooting out and slamming into little miss sunshine's face as she stepped forward just enough to glare in return to the little bitch....

"Think twice before you go getting all defensive sweetheart. He is taken."

With that she shot a glance toward Gabriel, her arms coming up to cross over her chest as she tilted her head lightly..

"Hmm..Surprised you remember me Gabriel. What with you just up and leaving."

She was hurt when he had left, and she was not ashamed to admit that. Hell he KNEW that would happen. Ass! Her eyes drifting toward Devon who should, if he paid any attention to her, know who now sat there in possession of her full attention.

Icy hues shifting back to Gabriel then, fully intent upon trying to keep herself from hitting him...Though already her fist was balled up tightly as she struggled to stay somewhat calm. Somewhat....Not completely.

[Devon]

Devon had been honestly surprised he distracted her at all, and feeling rather cynical he simply shrugged it off as her being pissed off, angry that she had even been touched in passing. But he handled the thought well. If you consider his sudden desire to break someones face as a constructive mindset.

Of course watching someone else smash someones face was just as therapeutic. He couldn't help grin in response. It had that classic feeling, like watching Moe turn around and pop Larry or Curry in the kisser for doing something absurdly stupid.

Minus the girlish scream of pain and potential for a concussion.

Now came the game called guess that drama. He invented it in an attempt to retain some of his sanity while learning about Kevala through the most bizarre situations, the last of which had been the most awkward by far, and this one felt much more intense.

And so he started listing off guesses, there was a few options that stood out, and he organized them on a quick checklist in his mind, all the while he sipping on a heavily caffeinated soda.

• Random Asshole
  
• Person who pissed her off
  
• Ex-Boyfriend
  
• One of the Three Stooges

Devon had to admit that one of them stood out quite clearly. He was the reincarnation of Larry.

[Gabriel Seran]

An inpatient sense struck him in an instant as her limb shot out to hit the girl. Though it took but a second for Gabriel to lash out in return. He was just as swift as her though expressing little effort his body jumping past the table itself and avoiding splattering the meal that'd been set out before him. His hand would grip around her wrist stopping the hit short of the young womans face though regardless the force of the blow would throw the girl off balance faltering from her uneasy stance onto her flank weeping almost on the floor.

At this point Gabriel's back was to Kevala his frame open profile towards the downed girl and his right hand wrapped around Kevala's wrist. Of course the girl meant little to Gabriel but regardless he'd turned over a new leaf so to speak.

"Hmm..Surprised you remember me Gabriel. What with you just up and leaving."

Gabriel however managed a grin despite breaking the "calm" essence of the place with something of defensive violence.

"Hard to forget a pretty face.." Gabriel would say still in an unmoved facade.

He'd wait a beat allowing for himself to breath once in and out and allow her the same privileged before he'd release her not provoking the scene with more force of violence however if she did react he'd judge it accordingly before once again returning to the same dance they performed years before.

[Ceraphine Davis]

GAH!!! She hated when he did that shit!

Her eyes narrowing as she looked up at him, jerking her arm back as she drew in a much needed breath.

"Cut the crap Gabriel. Charming little comments dont work like they used to."

Her arm lowering to rest at her side as she looked him over, knowing full and well that he could probably still kick her ass but really not caring...she never had.

"Why are you here?"

Another soft tilt of her head as she shifted a bit closer to Devon. No real reason other than she felt familiar with him and not so much with Gabriel....Or perhaps she did, and that was why she put more distance between them.

Either way she kept her eyes on him as she reached up and tucked her hair back behind her ear. A thoughtless movement as right now all her real thinking was consumed by his unexplained presence here.

Though in her mind she figured this was just the gods mocking her. Which would not be too far fetched an idea. Heh.

[Alexis Seran]

(OOC: Just here for the lulz..I won't intrude on what you guys have going on)

Alexis was at a cafeteria of the school. Why? Donno. She just was. She watched all the students act like idiots running around like complete dolts. Oh how she was glad to be out of school. She didn't miss it one bit.

Now all she had to do was find where Gabriel was. It was quite difficult seeing above the crowd. Yeah, Alexis may be older than the students... but she was still only 5'1". She huffed a bit of here, blowing her side bangs away from her emerald eyes as she looked for her boyfriend.

Then a chirpy girl dressed in yellow came skipping about. A small smirk crawled onto Alexis' lips as she decided to follow her. Where ever there was a girl acting like that...there was a Seran.

Follow the yellow dressed girl!!

As the trail had came to a halt...Alexis was already amused.

a Gabriel, a girl, a punch...oh my.

Alexis' gaze stopped at the girl who was standing before Gabriel. She knew all too well who she was. Instead of interrupting their little game she looked for a seat. There was a table behind Gabriel and a boy who had his back to the whole situation... though the direction of his site said other wise. Smiling Alexis made her way to that table, trying not to get in the path of the Angry Kevala. She sat herself across from the nosey boy and was now sitting in the direction of the little scenario.

Alexis grabbed her apple and took a bite.

Now let's see what will happen between the one she loved since as long as she could remember and the one who tried to steal that away from her a few years back.

Smiling she waited.

Should be fun... though block head was in her way. She would gesture with her hand for him to nudge over with a rather pissed off expression. "Can ya move, mate? Tryin' to watch..."

[Devon]

Whoever this 'Gabriel' was clearly had more skill then his attitude suggested. He hadn't known the nauseating hero type to be the most skilled, it was usually the psychotic and deranged that held the highest echelons of power. Unless Gabriel hid his derangement well under a nauseatingly charming facade there was something that just felt wrong about the situation. Frowning he shifted himself forward and stood, the tension of the situation changing his attitude.

Devon glanced up to Kevala, his expression holding a mix of curiosity and hunger. His days had grown dull as of late, and his hunger for anarchy was taking center stage. He had grown tired of being confounded by the situations he found him in, and his own stubbornness made it neigh impossible to pull himself away. If he was going to continue being pulled into such frustrating situations he intended to take advantage of them.

"So, Mr. Charming, is there any reason you decided to manipulate an impressionable young woman into a situation clearly too explosive for her to handle?" Devon's thin lips twisted upward at the corners, grinning as he pressed forward with his provocation.

"If you are as upstanding and heroic as you play yourself off to be, you would have warned her off, knowing Kev here to be volatile." There was no hesitation in speaking the way he did, Kev knew she was volatile, and even if it angered her he had no fear of her.

Devon raised his brow slightly as his grin faded into more of perturbed sneer. "Unless of course, you just wanted to know if you were capable of handling her anger before you would commit to a more direct course of action." A shot in the dark, all of it, but he wanted to escalate the situation. Kevala or no.

[Gabriel Seran]

"Cut the crap Gabriel. Charming little comments dont work like they used to."

Oh no? He certainly assumed it had. The situation had gotten violent but moments ago then his little comment somewhat deflated the scenarios where innocents would get in the way of course innocents were just objects in the way of attaining victory at times. So in conclusion he'd analyse that his efforts controlled the scenario to his own end goals just not hers.

"Why are you here?"

A court grin in return not giving any answer but rather letting his gaze wander just past her noting at the bodyguard at her side and the all to recognizable frame of Alexis. Focusing he managed to blot her out of the image, a narrow thought entered his mind that Alexis though the right person for him would cause him to not think clearly which was entirely needed in this instance.

Again he'd supervise the group now noting how the Cafeteria went utterly silent, dead silent aside from the three of them in the narrow space. Gabriel's hands would retract to his sides coming off very neutral to the scene not hinting at a purpose.

"So, Mr. Charming, is there any reason you decided to manipulate an impressionable young woman into a situation clearly too explosive for her to handle?"

The bodyguard spoke up and would be met with a cocked brow. Out of the corner of his eye he'd locate the frail little girl still managing a smile for Gabriel's sake but it was apparent she was still at odds with the exposure to the intensity.

"If you are as upstanding and heroic as you play yourself off to be, you would have warned her off, knowing Kev here to be volatile."

A volatile scenario? And Kevala no doubt? This boy had a certainly perturbed view of people. For one thing Gabriel didn't see himself as the hero sort but then again but a simple action here pinned him as such. Guilty. But it would seem as though he wasn't the only one changing if Kevala had become bitter and volatile as the boy seemed to project then perhaps he'd been away for quite awhile longer than intended.

"Unless of course, you just wanted to know if you were capable of handling her anger before you would commit to a more direct course of action."

Gabriel grinned a devious smirk quite callous to the actions that he'd been accused of but it was only natural seeing the people he'd been up against whether they be strong or week, Gabriel had a natural aversion to people.

"On the contrary I am but a man of instinctual urges..." He'd wink without hesitation.

Back to his childlike persona, that was probably best for the time being. Lest someone push him too far.

[Ceraphine Davis]

Kevala stood there, listening.......her brow raising slightly as Devon spoke up and her gaze shifting between him and Gabriel. Her mind tried to think of what to say, or do at this point, but for the life of her all she could think was to firmly plant her hand over her face......HARD!

Was she volatile? Yeah...duh.....Was she bitter and evil and down right nasty? Possibly.

Was Gabriel capable of handling her anger? Hmm....well despite her current dislike of him that she held on the surface, he was probably the best to handle such. Not that she would let him know that. Butthead!

Though her attention did shift for a moment toward that all too familiar emotional vibe coming from his little love bunny. Inwardly she twitched...forcing down her own emotions toward the other girl as she turned her attention back to the two men.

Somehow or another she had been cast into the role of the little female who could not speak for herself again.....and she was none too happy about that. A growl barely able to be heard escaping her as she once more curled her small hands into fists..MEN! What the hell was their problem?! Just because she was tiny and petite that gave them reason to dismiss her? FUCK THEM!

Her own anger increasing as she heard Gabriel speak once more. Not about to let his attention be diverted by some other male. Given she had much more reason to be noticed at this point.

"Hey!"

Both hand shooting out and shoving at his chest, knowing it might not do much but at least gain his attention back to where it rightfully belonged.

"Dont fucking ignore me like I don't exist. After all I did for you, the least you can do when you decide to show back up is acknowledge my fucking existence!"

Those icy hues cast upward to his. She hated looking into his eyes, it tugged at a part of her that she wished would hurry up and die already. But as it stood she just ignored it, pushing back those emotions and letting the anger she felt fill her more and more. At least there was familiarity and comfort in the anger she felt. Not the uncertainty and pain that came from the love she felt for him, despite the fact that said love had changed into something much more manageable over the years.

"Why are you here Gabriel?"

It was a fair question, one in which she felt she deserved an answer. Here she was putting her life somewhat back together and the one person who held the most influence to turn it all around was now back out of nowhere. GAH! Could Kev not catch a break!?

"By the way, Devon, this is Gabriel, Gabriel....Devon."

There....she had been nice enough....introducing the two so they could continue to try and ignore the small female between them....all the while her mind making a mental note of little miss sunshine for later......

[Devon]

Devon could barely keep himself from huffing in disappointment. After everything that was going through his mind, the interesting scenarios, he went ahead and decided to say the only thing that would bore him. Instead of taking an aggressive path he made himself out to be the fool, although Devon doubted that he was actually speaking honestly.

And so, with a heavy grunt, he leaned back and glanced toward Kevala, keeping the man in his peripheral vision. "You're an idiot or a liar, either way you've succeeded in boring me." Devon then watched as Kevala decided to take center stage, which he didn't particularly mind as it took the physical sense of anarchy that he generally enjoyed.

Devon stood calmly to the back of Kevala, once again given the hint that they knew each other fairly well. He frowned at this, but there was nothing to do with it. But they were introduced, and he felt a small sense of joy that she placed his name ahead of this 'Grabriel'. "Yeah, I don't like you, and I'd rather be eating in a quiet place with Kev." With that said he grunted and thought on how nice it would be to just instigate Kev into kicking his ass and heading off to a real lunch.

[Gabriel Seran]

"You're an idiot or a liar, either way you've succeeded in boring me."

Oh? Gabriel would pay the boy no noticeable mind thinking to himself that this was just another repressed young teen wanting to rebel something like a young Katsuri or even Jason Harris something of a mix of the pair perhaps struck him with that nature of instigating a pyre without taking into account the knowledgeable side of things.

"Hey!"

A rough shove to the torso resulting in only getting Gabriel's attention ripped from his fanatical frame of thought processing all the little cogs into place.

"Don't fucking ignore me like I don't exist. After all I did for you, the least you can do when you decide to show back up is acknowledge my fucking existence!"

Gabriel cocked his brow slightly, so now she was concerned about gaining his attention seemed playing his little game worked out as usual. Predictable.

"Why are you here Gabriel?"

What a curious question although if she knew Gabriel well enough if he had a reason for not bringing it up it was probably of some importance to detour around and evidently enough he'd find a way regardless of how much she pried.

"By the way, Devon, this is Gabriel, Gabriel....Devon."

Emerald hues sifted over once more to subtly address the boy with a notch of curiosity. The way they were addressed hinted at something but then again paranoia tended to run deep in his veins suppressed easily by a trained mind.

"Yeah, I don't like you, and I'd rather be eating in a quiet place with Kev."

Cute? He shrugged nonchalantly disregarding the sentiment and nodding simply, "A pleasure I'm sure..."

His attention redirected towards Kevala, "I'm here to create discord and anarchy, along with corrupting the minds of impressionable youths as always, I thought that was obvious...." Gabriel snickered in a joking manner.
