Deus sighed heavily as he threw himself down on the concrete. He was EXHAUSTED.. Worse yet the sun was already rising. Just enough time to catch a nap before he had to start classes. This whole 'double life' thing was more tiring than it was worth. All night reaping spirits, all day doing odd jobs, and then wandering around finding places to catch some z's in between.

Either way the end result was him wandering back all the way across town to campus to catch some sleep under the bleachers so that when he woke up he'd only have to get up, dressed, and go to class. This was becoming his routine but it wasn't one that he was enjoying very much. On his list of priorities finding a place to stay was rapidly becoming larger and larger. Now it even outranked avoiding people. Which was a big deal for Deus.

Huge deal.

As such he allowed himself to fall asleep for now but with EVERY INTENTION of finding a place as soon as he woke up. Besides, it wasn't like he was going to find a place under the bleachers.

Not soon after Deus disappeared under the bleachers, a lone figure entered the athletics field , giving the familiar area a quick, careful study before he proceeded to walk slowly, carefully and silently towards the bleachers, coming around to the back and carefully peeked into the gloom under it.

"Wow, so the rumors are true; there is someone sleeping under the bleachers at night." The figure said, as soon as he saw and registered the resting form of a person under the bleachers.

It was Hajime, and he was holding his compact digital camera in his hand. Without missing a beat, he raised it up to his eye and immediately took a quick, flashy shot of the resting figure.

A figure loomed over the man from behind. Silver hair, red eyes, and pale white features marked his form. His face was pulled into an even frown. However the real question was where had he come from? As the figure most certainly had not been there before. Even so he was there now, looming towards the man with his stoic glare. "I am sorry Sir but I will need to confiscate that camera.." He said in a measure tone with perfectly calm Annunciation.

There was no haste or rush in anything he did, only dignified grace. "It is terribly important for the young master to not be cast in a demeaning light.." His eyes narrowed into a glare. It was clear he wasn't playing games. He WAS the scythe, Thanatos, after all. He was more than a little dangerous, is all I'm saying.

Either way he extended a hand for the man to hand it over.

Hajime felt first before he noticed the strange shadow looming over him from behind. Slowly, he turned around, and found himself face to face with with a grim looking, pale young man who wants his camera. For a few silent seconds, Hajime stood there staring at the mysterious young man, and when he finally moved again, it was to raise the camera up and take a snap shot of him too.

"You can't be serious." Hajime protested cordially with a grin. "I'm with the Hyakuji High Herald, and the student body deserve to know the truth of this rumor, demeaning or not. If anything, there's nothing more interesting than finding out that one of our own is sleeping here for some reason." He said, clenching his fist in front of him to physically show his determination and dedication to his job.

"And besides, this is no place for anyone to sleep. What, he got no home or something?"

"Not one he wishes to return to.." The boy said with a low voice. The boy's determination to his task was admirable. As a butler Thanatos was also taught to be convicted to his task and go to any length for the well being of his master. If this rumor got out Deus would be looked down upon by his peers and his false persona of a wealthy heir would be revealed as nothing more than pomp.

Thanatos couldn't allow that. He was the only ally his master had in this world. The only one whom could protect him from this sort of predicament. He frowned a bit as he advanced towards the boy. "Give me the camera... Now." He said firmly. His eyes narrowing.

"Calm down, Thanny toes.." Deus said with a grunt as he sat up. He dusted off his shirt and rose to his feet. "He got a picture of me napping? Big deal." He said idly as he wandered out from under the bleachers. "Todays headline, global nap epidemic sweeping school grounds, really fascinating stuff reporter boy.."

The grim young man seems adamant on his request, much to Hajime’s curiosity which made him even more adamant and protective of the task and device of his trade and also twice more curioser on the whole situation: something about this was telling him that this could be a very big scoop and would be the news for the following weeks to come.

That is, assuming he can reach the bottom of the story behind these two boys.

Before he could shoot another question to try and see what answers he might yield, the other youth which he had assumed all this time was sleeping woke up and got out from under the bleachers, spouting off a few choice words that simply translates into ‘Cool story, bro’.

The nerve of him.

“Yeah well, can’t say it’s much of a story now.” Hajime replied calmly, scratching the back of his head. “Probably not as interesting when the student body starts wondering why is there someone sleeping on the school grounds in the first place and not in the dorms or something.”

“What gives anyway? I can see you’re not from around here so why not request for a dorm room?” Hajime asked as casually as possible.

Deus slowly waled around the bleachers until he reached the steps where he began to ascend them, all the while addressing the boy with a dull monotone. "Felt like living off campus so I did. Felt like taking a nap under the bleachers so I did. You sure this is front page stuff?" He said cocking an eyebrow with a thin smile, the cocky condescending tone making his disdain for this whole event obvious from a mile away.

The guy was confident but Deus wasn't easy to shake up. He was always able to pull a straight face and he easily masked any uncertainties. In truth this guy was a pain in his ass and if he started running stories it'd be a major problem. But the dispassionate look on Deus' feature didn't show these worries in the slightest. He stopped just away from Thanatos before exhaling.

In reality for now the situation seemed contained but Deus wasn't going to let his guard down and let this kid get the upper hand..

Hajime calmly nodded his head while stroking his chain as a sign that he understands what he’s saying… but not exactly believing his excuse one bit. If anything, despite the youth’s somewhat calm reaction, Hajime’s instinct was telling him that there is something behind the façade and he’s going to get to the bottom of it, one way or another.

“’Felt like it?’” Hajime repeated in a mock, condescending manner: he’d rather not fall to using it but right now, he was on a job. “Please, save yourself the trouble and go back and stay wherever you’re actually staying. Never mind me, but if words gets out that some kid is sleeping under the bleachers at night, the school is going to be in a lot of hot water no thanks to you. And don’t get me started on what your folk’s got to say about when they become the center of attention.”

Inside him, Hajime cringed at this other face he is using that he often so despised on others, like the one the youth was also wearing.
