Who: Skylar and ~~Open~~ Benji
Where: Roof
What: Well I had a dream I stood beneath an orange sky ~ AKA, Skylar's Humanity
When: Sunset
Rating: SFW

Tech had no idea how he found himself on the roof. He suppose it might have been because he was locked in his dorm all weekend working on a rather stubborn computer upgrade and it was time for a break. He guessed he just needed somewhere quiet to relax, he needed a place where nasty obstructions like buildings and telephone wires couldn't reach him. When he was on the roof, high above the world beneath him, he was allowed to separate himself from it. He could just be a passive observer as he watched students wander around the quad, singing, doing work, talking - he could look up and watch the orange bursts of light start to darken. Tech could just breathe.

The weather was still calling for that storm, so Benji really ought to have known better than to venture outside, but he'd found himself getting anxious just sitting in his room waiting for it to start. He hoped that his nerves would settle a bit if he could slip outside for a bit and have a moment or two alone. It wasn't supposed to hit for a few more hours, anyway. Figuring the 'alone' factor was more likely on the roof than somewhere at ground level, that's where he headed, letting out an almost relieved sigh as he stepped out of the stairwell.

He paused, spotting someone else on the roof and considering turning back; he didn't want to disrupt the other boy - provided he hadn't already.

	The great thing about storms is the calm right before it. Tech didn't know what it was but he really enjoyed it. He took his glasses off and closed his eyes for a moment before he heard someone behind him. "Oh, hey Benji." He greeted, he hadn't really seen the other boy around since the Del incident.

	Smiling slightly as his registered who it was, Benji offered a small wave. "Hey, Sky," he greeted in returned. For some reason, he couldn't drop the habit of using Skylar's real name - he really hoped the other teen didn't mind. Benji took a step forward before thinking better of it and actually asking, "Mind if I join you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No one called him Skylar, let alone Sky, but Tech didn't really mind today. "Yeah sure," He replied, spreading his arms out wide, "Got plenty of space." Tech had been feeling a bit strange for the last couple of days, and he couldn't pin point why. He was probably just tired or something, still, it made him a bit easier to talk to than usual.

"Thanks," he responded, approaching and then sitting down next to Skylar, not super close, but not miles away, either. Pulling his knees in toward his chest, he let his chin rest against them as he wrapped his arms loosely around his legs. Benji's opinions on the other teen had changed a lot over the course of the semester, so he didn't feel nearly as uncomfortable right now as he might've expected to.

"What brings you up here?" he asked, somewhat quietly. Benji didn't feel right disturbing the silence too much - and it wasn't like they were that far apart, anyway.

	Nodding again in agreement, Benji closed his eyes for a moment, "Me too." Outages sucked - and would no doubt make Skylar think of Del, given his roommate - former roommate's - distaste for darkness. Benji looked over at the other teen, then, raising an eyebrow, "Isn't that a little dangerous, anyway?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I meant from a window." He grinned, rolling his eyes. "And it's best to watch them in the dark" Which meant he had to turn off the backup lights anyway. They were still set to turn on whenever someone walked in a room or when there was a power outage. He probably wasn't going to change that. "Have you never watched a storm?"

	"Did something happen?" He asked, "Or is that like the earliest time you remember your fear?" It was strange of him to pry, this type of conversation usually fell in the category in which Tech cared very little about unless he could use it to his advantage, which was why he felt a little uncomfortable asking. "Sorry, you don't have to answer that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'll tell you this much, he's one of the singers in this school that I don't mind when they randomly burst out in song." Going to a school that had such a huge Warbler influence meant a lot of singing everywhere and anywhere. It could seriously get on his nerves, but Del he didn't mind. Tech pursed his lips and nodded, getting the picture. "Do you regret it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
