Desiree stared in wonder at the blue sky, pure as ever. A trickle of nervous excitement shot through her spine, as the sudden realization that she was alone hit her like a wave crashing against shore. Curling into a fetal position for comfort, she wrapped her arms around herself, a physical barrier of privacy. Plugging in earphones, her head leaned against the cool glass window. Shutting her eyes, the last thing she saw was the pure blue sky as she drifted off to sleep.
“Oh, um, not really. I just, well I smoke,” Rigel turned a light shade of red, hoping his habits wouldn’t turn Xander away, “And I’ve been working on quitting, I haven’t smoked in a couple of days, but well… uh, I guess I’m just anxious about it, I dunno,” He explained, looking away again and chewing on his lip. Rigel felt like he needed to do something with his hands, which he started to clench and unclench, as they waited for the plane to take off.
"I completely understand. Breaking habits are hard for me too. I have this one habit that's too embarrassing to say but it took me a while to stop it. Felling nervous is totally normal and if you want to take your mind off of it, do something that you like or give yourself reminders of the bad things that will happen because of the habit." He stopped when he noticed that he was rambling and rubbed his neck. "Sorry, I talk to much, maybe I should work on that a bit." He said with a small chuckle.
Just…relax Luis. You'll be fine. You have your passport, all your papers are signed, you quadruple checked to make sure you packed everything. Everything is fine. Take a moment to relax for once. It was difficult for Luis to be away from his family for so long. His little brother was his best friend, as sad as that sounded. Living across the ocean from him would be hard. He decided that it would be best to keep himself calm, so he decided to look around at the other passengers on the plane. There were quite a few people that seemed about his age, which surprised him a bit.
“No, no, you have a nice voice,” Rigel blushed as red as a fire truck when he realized what he said, cringing at himself. Now he’s going to think I’m some sort of creep. Rigel hastily added in attempt to fix it, “What I mean to say is that I really like listening to you talk.” Rigel wanted to just bash his head in after he said that part. He looked back at Xander hesitantly, waiting for distaste or rejection of some kind.
Xander smiled when he heard those words and turned to see Rigel looking at him. "Thank you." He said while seeing how red Rigel was. He had never seen a shade of read that dark but didn't mind. He obviously didn't mean to say it but Xander still appreciated it.
(Ranier is Xavier and Rigel's ship name lol)
Kylie popped some gum into her mouth as the plane began to take off. As they escalated, she watched the buildings grow smaller before her with a dull wonder. She'd flown hundreds of times before.
Rigel looked away again, chewing on his lip again and hoping that the heat would leave from his face. He leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes for a second before he asked in attempt to just ignore what just happened, “So, what were you planning to do in Scotland?”
Finally, the plane began to take off. Luis felt his stomach drop as he realized that there was no turning back now. There was no way he'd be able to afford a ticket back home, and he wasn't about to ask his family to pay for his flight. He would be stuck in Italy for the next few years, and that was that.
Hawkin felt the pane shudder, and take off. He didn't like it. He wanted to get off, but he was stuck. He was panicking, but he knew that he had to calm down. Ever since he had started having anxiety about certain things, bad things seemed to happen when he got nervous or scared…
Rai looks at the panicing male. "Hey. It's okay." He says quietly. His yes glance over him. "You'll be alright."
Roxanne searches through her bag, pulling out a sweet. "Here." she says kindly to the panicking guy, she hands him a sweet.
(Where is the destination? Scotland, Spain, Italy…?)
Hawkin nods, and takes the sweet graciously. He tried to calm his nerves, and he took deep breaths in. Already, he didn't like flying, and he was stuck. He just tried to steady his breathing. He quietly muttered, "I think I'll be ok… It won't be that bad…."
Rai looks at him. "I take it, it's your first time flying isn't it?" He asks curiously. "It's okay. You'll be just fine." He flashes a smile and chuckles quietly. He returns his gaze to the book, shutting it then turning to the other male. "Rai."
(Where is the destination? Scotland, Spain, Italy…?)
(There could be multiple stops? Like the plane goes to Scotland first, then Spain, and so on.)
Hawkin said quietly, "Yeah. I should have done more research… I sure hope I'll be fine… My name is Hawkin. Nice to meet you."
Rai smiles faintly. "The first time is always the scariest but it gets better." He replies. He chuckled and folds his hands. "Nice name."
Luis slipped on a sweatshirt, already getting goosebumps from the lack of heat. He took out his laptop and began looking through the list of colleges near Italy that he had made the day before. He was really hoping that Italy had some sort of agriculture or art school, because that's what he really wanted.
Hawkin smiled. "Thanks. I know flying will get better, but for now, it's not my favorite. I want to get off of this plane. But I don't know how long this flight will be. Plus, I think this plane makes multiple stops…."
Rai nods and smiles a little. "Yep." He twiddled his thumbs. "So where are you heading?"
Hawkin thought. "Well…. I don't really know to be exact. I just found a flight that would take me as far as I could get from home. I want to see the world. Books can only do so much…."
"Im going to Italy." She says, clicking keys on her laptop as she browses her photos.
(They’re going to Spain. Decided.)
Kylie watched a conversation brew on the row across from hers. “You’ll be fine, it’s only two hours. We probably won’t get much endurance anyways,” She chimed in.
(Ha okay I'll just say that Luis got on the wrong flight later)
(It crashes but that’s not till later…that’s when they find out their powers)
