“Hey brother…why are you crying?” She asked while walking up the stairs.

Jas smiled and shook his head “happy tears Maizey. Don’t worry about me.” He smiled and hugged his sister “get dressed for bed while I wash up.”

“You got it captain!” He saluted then ran off to her room.
Meanwhile Axel was sitting on his bed looking up to the ceiling. Thinking about his blue headed cutie. He had to go to bed soon. He had school tomorrow. How he hated school. Every life he got 100s and never learned new things because he already knew them. “I miss you Jas,” he cried himself to sleep that night.

Jas put Maizey to sleep and went to bed

(5 years later age 19)
“Remind me again why you got invited to a masquerade gala?” Maizey asked, adjusting Jas’s Mask over his face. He had kept his hair. Blue for now and grew it out a bit so it fell to his eyes. “Cuz it came in the mail… I do t know but it seemed fun.”

“Whatever you say. Alright, you’re all good! Have fun, but not too much fun….”
Axel’s mom fixed his tie. “Do you even know the person who is hosting this masquerade gala?” She asked, raising an eyebrow. “No, but I need to get out of the house and do something fun. So, why not?”

“Alright, stay still.” Maizey ordered as she held fake vampire teeth made for cosplay and costumes “They’re temporary but they’ll work fine for tonight. Try not to bite anyone.” She teased, handing the fake teeth over as Jas put them in place. He pulled on his cloak and hood and grinned in the mirror. “Dang you look cute.” Maizey laughed. Jas was wear skintight jeans that were purple and a white silky button down blouse. Work with the cloak and mask he looked like someone right out of a gay Dracula film

“If there anything else you want?” Axel shook his head. “Thank you mother,” he kissed her cheek before leaving the house. He stepped in the car and started to drive.
Maizey smiled. “You should get going. Be home before mom comes back. You know she doesn’t like it when your out late.”

He grinned "no promises." he kissed her head and headed out the door in a whir of fabric and entrancing beauty to the waiting car in the front driveway. All participants of the gala were ride in one. He got in and smiled out the window.
Once at the gala, Jas felt a little more self conscious about himself. he ran a hand through his electric but hair and walked into the beautiful building. Apparently, he wasn't the only one who dressed as a vampire. The gala was halloween theme for the up coming holiday and everyone was dressed in horrifyingly gorgeous get ups. Jas felt underdressed for the occasion and pulled his hood up around his face.

Axel had gotten there early. He walked around for a bit with a drink in hand. He wasn’t watching where he was going and bumped into someone and made their hood fall off. He spilled his drink all over his shirt. “S-Sorry! I’m a bit of a klutz! We’ll have to go the bathroom if you want to get that stain off,” he bit his lip.

Jas immediately caught the other and held him at an arms length so he would fall over anymore. He looked down at his shirt and shrugged "it adds to the character. I kinda like it. don't worry about it." he looked up at the other and tilted his head, sensing something very familiar about the person in front of him but not really being able to grasp it.

Axel’s heart began to beat. “Are you sure! I don’t want you to be in wet clothes. M-May I ask your name?” He asked, standing up straight. “It’s alright if you won’t tell me, I’m like a total stranger…” he hoped he wasn’t.

"yeah, it kinda looks like blood now." has chuckled and let the other go. "My name is Jas," he bowed low and offered a grin "and you are?" he took the other's hand and pressed a gentle kiss to his knuckles.

“I’m A-Axel…” he blushed and looked away. “Do you recognize me?” He asked quietly. He wanted to hear his answer, but at the same time didn’t want to hear his answer. In this one moment he was scared to death.

has straightened and tilted his head. he gently reached out and brushed his hand along his cheek. He came close, centimeters apart now. "I wish I did." he whispered before backing away a respectable distance and looking around

His heart broke into a hundred pieces. All the time they spent together, gone. “Y-You promised me…” He whimpered. Tears started to form in Axel’s eyes. “Y-You said you would never forget me!”

(Ah that broke my heart! I'm so sorry Axel!)
Jas glanced at the other gently pulled him into a hug. "your the one I've been looking for." he whispered softly. "I know who you are, from my other life." he led him outside so they could have privacy. He took a deep breath "My problem is I don't feel as if that was my life. it's alway's felt like I've been looking through someone eles eyes, you know?" he hadn't meant to upset Axel, "I didn't necessarily forget you but….i don't remeber much of my other life for some reason." he sat down on a bench "can you help me remember?"

(I felt that too!)
He hit his chest and cried. Axel’s knees felt weak and all he wanted to do was sob in his own tears. “You’re so mean! You’re mean and I hate you! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!” He yelled, trying to push Jas away from him. “I hate you…so why do I love you?!”

Jas held Axel tighter and hurried his face in Axel’s shoulders “how do you think I feel? Knowing I love someone so deeply it hurts and not being able to remember anything except vague memories of death and someone running?” He asked, pulling away to look at Axel “no one could possibly hate me any more than I could right now.”

(How would we weave that in tho? Secret investigation and like Axel goes crazy over it?)
He whipped his eyes and opened his eyes. “I made your shirt wet again,” he light laughed and sniffled. “Okay, how about we start from the beginning. Forget everything that happened.” He took a deep breath, stepped back, and held out his hand. “M-My name is Axel Blackheart and it’s a pleasure to meet you….again.”

(Uhm, sure that could work! Maybe after a few responses we could skip ahead to where they’re living as roommates or something and then add that bit in?)
Jas smiled faintly, not remembering the reference but feeling a familiar tug of longing. “I don’t want to forget everything that’s happened, at least what I remember.” He straightened on the bench and took his hand “Jas Harte, nice to meet you, all over again.” He laughed softly and gently tugged him back to Thebes bench “so, what are you dressed as?” He asked, resting his head on his hand and looking at Axel

(I was joking but if you want to okay)
“Oh, nothing special. Just a character from a video game. I pulled it out from that Halloween. Well, I already know what you’re dressed, Mr.I-don’t-want-to-clean-my-shirt.” He laughed. “That’s gonna have a long term effect, you know.”

(Oh, sorry didn’t catch that. Can we still do that idea tho?)
He chuckled softly “I guess it will. Who’s the character? I think I recognize it.” He said with a smile, his fake vampire teeth showing

“Oh in the show his name is Akira, but in the game they call him Joker. They only call him that when their stealing people’s hearts and what not.” He stood up when a slow song came on. “Can I have this dance?” Axel asked nervously.

Jas nodded “I think my little sister would know what that is.” He glanced up and smiled as he took his hand. “So Is this your version of sterling my heart?” He asked, laughing softly and slowly swaying with him. “I feel like I’ve known you forever…” he whispered, resting his head on Axel’s “I want to feel that love again. Will you help me?”
