Library Blues [Open]

Leo was running. He tore down the halls, his head down, searching desperately for someplace quiet. He'd just been in class when a student behind him chose the wrong person to bug. He didn't blame him; he'd had many bullies in the past, and the intimidation really didn't bother him anymore. But it was just so easy to get angry these days. It had only been a few weeks since he'd started school here, and he'd been on edge since day one.

On his first day, a girl, Ayame, had been nice enough to show him to his class. Leo would have considered this an accomplishment and would have been satisfied for the day, had it not been for the scent he had caught. It filled him with dread. He knew there were others like him, though it took him a while to figure it out. He still wasn't great at the whole heightened senses thing...

But that had just set off his anxiety and made him have a short fuse. He'd been pretty good at keeping it cool until today. One stupid boy's mistake to pick on him, and Leo had to take off. Now, it was well into lunch time and he still hadn't calmed down.He could feel the sharp pricks of his canines biting down on his lip. He knew his eyes were probably an insane shade of blue right now, but it helped him locate the library at the end of the hall.

He ran into the quiet area, and hurried to the study rooms, entering the first one he saw. He leaned his head on the door, breathing heavily before freezing, hearing a voice behind him. He didn't turn around, to hide his face, while he answered. "S-sorry, man... Just need a minute..." he managed out in a gruff, unsteady voice. Leo closed his eyes, trying to slow his breathing before he did something he'd regret. Namely to the person behind him.

He bit into his lip, tasting the sharp tang of blood. While Leo knew he was intruding on the boy's time, the less rational part of him (which was being incredibly annoying and present at this time) wanting to rip out his-... NO. Leo shook his head violently, feeling a soft growl in his chest. He really needed to calm the hell down. He dug his claws into the wood of the door and took a breath.

He heard the boy talking, but didn't trust himself to talk right now. When he introduced himself, however, his name piqued Leo's interest. Wasn't Stiles the name of Ayame's friend? He really didn't need this guy finding out how messed up Leo's situation was and go scare Ayame away. Especially since she seemed to be the only one interested in befriending him. He was about to reply when Stiles spoke again. Leo frowned lightly, then tried his advice.

It took a few tries, but eventually, he felt his body cooperating. His claws retracted, and so did his canines. The only thing that seemed to stay were his eyes. He let out a sigh of relief, glad that most of his wolf traits were gone. "T-Thanks..." he managed in a relatively steady voice, leaning his shoulder on the door and keeping his eyes cast down to the ground. "I'm Leo," he murmured, running a hand through his hair, "Um... you know Ayame, right?"

Notes: It's cool  Leo's just a weirdo~

Leo rubbed his eye lightly, half-hoping that it would make a difference to it's bright blue color. Because irritating one's eye was clearly the answer in this situation. He glanced up at the door and winced lightly when he saw that there were small holes where he'd sunk his claws in. It didn't worry him too much; kids usually overlooked damaged property in schools. 

At Stiles' question, Leo couldn't help but turn to face him. He could faintly hear the other boy's heartbeat speeding up lightly. He quickly looked down again, hoping his eyes had returned to their normal coloring while he had looked at Stiles. "Oh, she was nice to me on my first day, and we kind of just... hang out sometimes. I don't really know anyone else here." He shook his head lightly at the offer of water, murmuring a polite "no, thank you" as he leaned back on the door.

Notes: It's fine, dear, happens to everyone ^-^

He wasn't really paying attention, so he missed what Stiles had mumbled, but when the other boy had reassured him about the damage, Leo frowned. That was... confusing. Did teenagers normally make random holes in doors? Was that why he was so cool about it? "Oh, um... cool..." he murmured, still trying to figure it out. He'd had a strange vibe about this place from the beginning, so maybe it was normal for him to make holes in doors. Hey, one less thing to worry about.

He started nodding when Stiles said that Aya was a great person. She really was. She was the only one who didn't expect him to be a jock. Well, at least, not after their first day. Leo froze at Stiles' next words. He knew. He knew what he was.

Leo's hand clamped around the door nob and turned it. In his haste, he ended up ripping the nob off instead of just opening the door. Fabulous. Don't flip out, don't flip out, don't flip out.... He repeated the mantra in his head, digging his nails into his palm. Running wouldn't do him any good, even if it had worked last time, but he didn't want to hurt Stiles, and he really didn't know if he would or wouldn't.

Notes: Duh duh DUUUUUUUHH or whatever xD
