Schedules were set in stone. While sneaking off to have a romantic interludes here and there was all well and good for Kirin, it did hellish things to his schedule. It got to the point that he had to work even more, to make up for the time spent just enjoying being in love.

The alarm began to beep at 4am, exactly 3 hours after he had fallen to sleep in his lover's arms, exactly 30 minutes before he needed to be dressed and out of the door. He sighed and tried to untangle himself from the limbs wrapped tightly around him without waking the other.

When that proved unsuccessful, he tried to wake Jamie up. "Rise and shine, wakey-wakey."

There was a perfectly good reason that he was standing outside uncovered save for a pair of pants. He was practicing. It had been a long time since he had even dared to manipulate raw sunlight, since he even considered trying. But the situation had changed.

He was no longer content in pretending that he didn't have this power to harness, he was aware of the risks, but he felt he had little choice. The man who caused so much destruction had a power like his own, it made sense to Kirin that if Kirin could control his power enough he would be able to neutralize the man enough to be stopped.

It was better than sitting on the sidelines while the others rushed into danger to stop him.

Korean War!AU

The classroom was far emptier than usual, many of his friends and even some of the teachers had stayed home due to rumors that the conflict that was destroying the rest of the country would soon reach the village. It was hard to believe, he thought the same as his family, what would any of the multiple sides of the conflict have with such a small and rural village. The population was small, mostly the elderly, farmers, and their children. There was nothing of value, no advantage to be seen occupying the land, and the people were either too young or too old to be a threat.

Besides, the weather is too beautiful outside to be cooped up at home. Kirin thought as he looked out the window of his classroom, daydreaming since with the teacher gone there was little else to do but study. His reverie was abruptly cut short, and he looked up at the unfamiliar sound of something flying overhead. Before he could even piece together a thought of what the sound could be, he was knocked backwards off of his desk as the building he was in broke apart from a nearby explosion. Even though the structure wasn't directly hit, the shockwave from the blast was enough to shatter the walls of the old building.

When Kirin stood, he was surprised to find he was outside, he couldn't remember crawling out of the debris he was standing over and could only stand in disbelief at the amount of destruction surrounding him. It was all so sudden, so fast, and the smoke from distant and nearby fires were blocking out the clear sky. A group running to the shelters spotted him and waved him over, shouting at him that it was dangerous and he should go with them. It wasn't until he got closer that he recognized them as other students from the school, the dirt and varying injuries obscured anything familiar about them.

He wasn't even sure if he was hurt or not, and slowly walked after the group in a numb state of shock. The war was tearing its way through the village, laying waste to the countryside for no apparent reason.

What's the point in running, there isn't anywhere we can go.

I'd rather be 1,900 miles away from Odessa.
It'd take me 29 hours to drive 1,900 miles...legally. Maybe 22 hours speeding. Maybe 19, speeding on my bike...Okay, I'd have to stop when the sun got too high, so 23 hours on my bike, speeding, with a stop at noon to nap somewhere.

$500 could get me 1,900 miles in 7.5 hours on a plane. If I left on a Friday, I'd have Saturday, Sunday, and maybe Monday before I'd have to fly back. I just need people to buy my $600 worth of stuff on Ebay, or a cheaper airline. -_-

FYI: Seattle and NYC are both 1,900 miles away from Odessa. The Gods like to laugh at me.

I didn't get to go to New York. I couldn't get free. I hate it here. I hate that I'm stuck here. I hate my parents. They brought me here.

In one day my life went from decent to shit. I caught a major sunburn. I got dragged into work when they found out I was going to take time off. Oh, yeah, and just because I thought about going on a roadtrip I caught major shit with my parents. I didn't even get to go outside city limits, but because I thought about it, I'm grounded. They took the keys to my bike and the spare to the sportage. They took my iPod, my cell, and my checkcard. They think I'm doing my homework, but I'm probably going to catch shit for posting this too. You know what?

I. Don't. Care. I'm 18, I'm not a little kid. Never seen my dad so angry before, it was kind of scary. But not as scary as my mom. It was almost like they were different people.

The only thing I have to look forward to now is work. I got a promotion. ~~Yay?~~ If I knew trying to quit would get me out of the mailroom, I would have done it sooner.

I don't know if I can tell my friends what really happened. Would they even believe me? Jimmy might, but I don't want to scare him off. I mean, how do I say 'Remember one time you got blinded by weird light? You're lucky I didn't kill you by accident' and not sound crazy? ...or worse.

He said if I could control it, I could make it so the light wouldn't hurt me. I can learn. I will learn.

Candice...

Don't ask.
~~That's $100, Jimmy. ♥~~

Keeping this short, I've got a killer headache. I should use my laptop less, ~~and mom's digital camera never~~ but I can't help it, I'm so bored. I'm going on a roadtrip! I can't wait. I'm packed and ready to go. Finally, an escape.

Something's wrong with me. The headaches I understand, the other things I don't get at all. I don't know what to call it, the flashes that just happen when I'm around. I've always seen them when I have a headache, little flecks of light in front of my eyes, but other people are seeing them too. And Jimmy said it was bright enough to blind him. What's going on?

So bored...
