Jason lay on the bed, a pillow covered his face, his tongue hung outside of his mouth and he snored loudly. Miles had been sitting in the light of his terminal,listening and watching his hilarious sleeping mannerisms throughout the night. The light of the sun had slowly filled the room in the past few hours or so. All the information he had collected was piled up on the desk next to him. He was still typing loudly as Jason's snoring stopped with a snort like noise and then a "huh ?" as if he had scared himself awake.<br/><br/>Miles stifled a laugh and Jason turned to look at him "What?"<br/><br/>Miles kept his head turned to the terminal and sighed with a smile "Nothing," he shut down the terminal, got up from his desk and let out a quiet yawn "Morning, we've got like three hours 'till school starts, want me to drive you home so you can shower up ? "<br/><br/>Jason hopped out of bed (he had admittedly fallen asleep in Mile's bed, leaving no place but the desk or the floor for Miles to go to sleep) and scratched his head "Nah, I've got a change of clothes in my bag and I always carry a toothbrush, just a habit of mine," he walked out of the room "you get cleaned up first, gimme a sec" he added as he walked down the stairs.<br/><br/>Miles shrugged and headed into the bathroom. The package that he was contacted about was in there. It wasn't small, it was quite capable of holding an assembled chair and it was sat in the corner next to the sinks. Miles decided that whatever it was could wait for him to brush his teeth and shower. Once the whistle of water passing through the shower had ceased, Miles could hear noises downstairs. He quickly got dressed and headed down. The aroma of fruit and the intoxicating smell of a delicious cooked meal tickled Miles's nose.<br/><br/>Jason turned around to face Miles and smiled at his expression "Hungry?" he set a plate on the table and Miles followed it. Sitting down, he tore into the meal. It was very lean tasting, not bad, just different from breakfast bars and the occasional bowl of cereal. He was so preoccupied with his meal that he didn't notice that Jason had been staring at him with expectant eyes.<br/><br/>"Hmmm?" Miles asked, a mouth full of food<br/><br/>He just kept the gaze "Well?"<br/><br/>Miles gulped down the mouthful he had been working on chewing and responded awkwardly "Erm, it's uh good,"<br/><br/>Jason looked satisfied by his response and went up the stairs to get cleaned up.<br/><br/>Once Miles finished he went back up the stairs and grabbed the package before Jason had finished brushing his teeth. Jason's curiosity was almost nonexistent so early in the morning.<br/><br/>He opened the box and was greeted by the common sight of foam peanuts. After sifting through all of them he found a box with vials in it, each vial had a date on it. The first date was today's. The box read "Ingest according to date" Other items in the box were a container that held several pills, bottles of black and red dye, a rather expensive looking wrist terminal, several sets of notepads, pens, pencils, another box labeled "Books of necessity", a new cell phone, a key and at the bottom of the box, a gun. Jason's voice made Miles shut the box with urgency.<br/><br/>"What's all this stuff on the floor?" he asked<br/><br/>"Oh, uh just something from my Uncle, he forgot when my birthday was so he went all out and got me a bunch of stuff,"<br/><br/>Jason accepted it for now, he really wasn't focused. He grabbed his pack and started to get dressed. "What is that vial thing about?"<br/><br/>"Just some type of supplement," he pulled the one labeled for today out of the box.<br/><br/>"Oh, ok, cool," Jason responded monotonously.<br/><br/>He downed the fluid inside of it and was repulsed by the taste. It was bitter beyond comparison. When he had finished he allowed himself a slight shiver and arranged all the items in the room. After a while, everything seemed to feel funny, the room smelled odd, his eyes were blurring, and a buzzing began in his ears. The room began to spin and he fell to the floor. Everything went black.<br/><br/>The feeling of rushing wind brushed Mile's face. His eye's cracked but that's all he could manage because it was so bright out, he caught sight of Jason smiling in the driver's seat.<br/><br/>"You alright there, buddy?" Jason spoke above the roar of the wind<br/><br/>"I think you must've stayed up too late, you're alright," Jason patted him on the shoulder and then refocused on driving.<br/><br/>They managed to get to the school without incident and Jason dragged Miles along to his class. "Second day and we've got the same first period, C'mon". Jason almost ran them into a large officer that was next to a nerdy looking man on the way to class. They headed into the class room and took a seat. Miles couldn't see much over the light that was reflecting off his fur but he could make out the image of the strange machine from the night before, in the room. He was going to tell Jason but he was off antagonizing Angela.<br/><br/>"Angela's not in jail yet?" He piped up "probably got off with a warning, maybe even a pat on the back for protecting a human from a big bad feral," He started to write something "what can anyone expect though," he said more to himself than anyone else "Humans stick together pretty well when it benefits them," he chuckled "a human girl that would save a doped up monster must be getting something," Miles started to tap his pencil irritatedly "Is it money? He like to share his needles?  of course it could be that or it could be love," he laughed to himself at the prospect "You may call me the animal but 'love' is such a foreign concept to humans that it's almost saddening, going about spreading diseases because it feels good, I wonder how well your 'love' holds up in court," At his final statement Miles stood up and grabbed Jason by the collar of his shirt and dragged him outside of the class and slammed the door shut.<br/><br/>"What the hell is your problem?" Miles shouted at him.<br/><br/>Jason struggled to get out of Miles's grasp "My problem? What is your problem? Why are you defending her?"<br/><br/>Miles grabbed his shirt with the other hand as well "Because she's a fuckin' living, breathing life form, with emotions thoughts and problems just like you and me, the way you're talking about her is disrespectful beyond belief and you need to learn to control that shit or I'll show you how to control it. I want you to go in there and apologize, I don't give a damn what she says back you say nothing but 'I'm sorry', Understand?" He shouted it a second time "<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-size: 105%; line-height: 116%;"><span style="font-weight: bold">Understand?</span></span></span>" he had a strength in him he never had before and managed to push Jason into the wall behind him. Jason looked at him in shock and nodded in agreement.<br/><br/>Miles released his grip "We're gonna talk about this later, we've got some shit to sort out,"<br/><br/>They both walked into the classroom and Jason did as he was told "Angela, I'm sorry" he said quietly, not a single word more and returned to his seat. Miles looked at her and wordlessly returned to his seat.
