Seth was laying on a small concrete bench, his chin tipped towards the sky, the lids of his eyes hung heavily distorting his vision of the gray-blue sky. He was exhausted, but he couldn't find any sleep, or peace for that matter. He found the dungeons a place that shouldn't be fit to be called living quarters, although he was a frequent occupant in it's parts. Lately the dripping noise and the damp walls had started to irrate him. The cool climate was no better. It had never actually bothered Seth before, but lots of things had been getting to him lately. He blamed it on the lack of sleep, although he never really got much of that to start with either. Seth rubbed his eyes with his thumb and forefinger before gazing back up at the sky through dark eyes. He wasn't smoking for once or was he drinking. He had already gotten stoned once today and it had worn off some time ago. Seth really didn't feel like moving much. He felt like he was lucky that he could still take the risk of keeping his eyes open. He had a feeling that if it weren't for the cold than he would have toppled over sleeping soundly by now. The chill in the air was biting his nose and keeping him up. Drawing his long black coat closer to him, Seth shifted on the bench trying to keep warm. His dark eyes refusing to move off their set point, staring at the dark sky above.
He knew that it would be lunch time soon, but he didn't think that he'd get up to eat. Seth never ate much either. When he did eat he always ate very little because he found that he never really had the stomach to eat large quantites of food at one time. It might have been the main factor as to why he was always so skinny. Rubbing his eyes again Seth let out a yawn and shivered slightly as a short but swift breeze swept through the small garden clearing that his bench rested in. The small clearing was circular near a few hovering oak trees, substantially large for only being there for around a decade or two. There were flower-speckled plants growing the bench as well, of all sorts, shapes, and kinds. Seth really payed no attention at all to these things. He was too focused on his own affiars for it to matter.

Gemini had been in the common room most of the time sitting there writing. It was the only thing that she could do now that she was out of everything. She would steal some money from her parents and then stock up. Right now she was just too tired and lazy to go anywhere past the school grounds. It was close to lunch and she started to feel sick. The mere thought of food made her want to throw up. Instead of going with the rest of the common room upstairs to the Great Hall, she headed outside. Food had become overrated and she needed something new. It wasn’t like she didn’t eat at all, she just ate less. Once a day was good enough to last her, she wasn’t weak all the drugs she took gave her energy.
With a slightly shiver she pulled the cloak closer to herself and headed towards the garden. When no one was around she would go to the garden and sit, it just seemed somewhat peaceful. It cold outside and she had only brought the cloak. It should keep her warm since it was a winter one. Making her way to the small clearing, she was surprised to find someone spread out on the concrete bench. Getting closer she saw that it was Seth. It seemed like she hadn’t seen him in ages. Approaching the bench she stood over him. “Trying to freeze to death?” she asked her arms crossed over her chest. She was trying to keep the warmth in her body.

Seth hadn't really taken notice of Gemini's arrival, but he finally did realize her when she spoke up. He startled a little at the sound of her voice, but than put it past himself accepting her prescence. "Something like that." Seth replied to her question, his reply was a little slow. He felt a little dizzy, he was sure that it wasn't from the cold air, but it might have been from the drugs earlier today. He closed his eyes to block the feeling out, it was working sure enough. If Gemini didn't push him off the bench first he was sure that he would be able to see straight by the time he got up. He had a feeling that he would spring up to fast right now and feel ten times dizzier than before. Keeping his eyes tightly clenched he questioned her, or he decided to, having been debating on that as well. "What brings you to my deathbed?" Seth asked in a teasing manner. A small smirk played across his lips as he kept his eyes sealed against the blowing wind that sent a chill up his spine despite the heavy coat.

Gemini looked at him with a raised eyebrow. She could tell that he had been smoking something otherwise he wouldn't be out here laying like a stiff board. Ok nevermind he probably would be out here laying like a stiff board. Shaking her head she picked up a stone and transfigured it into a blanket. Sighing she threw it over him and sat down on the ground in front of the bench. "Well what else. You need your best friend by your side when your at your death bed." she pointed out and pulled out a bottle of Vodka she stole from her grandfathers cabinet. There was a whole bunch of alcoholic drinks there so he wouldn't miss any.

Seth laughed a little at Gemini's response, he would have expected as much from her. He eyed the bottle of Vodka that she had pulled from her bag before shuddering. He was shuddering because of the quick change of the climate from the cruel cold biting air to a nice warmth. It was strange until Seth realized that Gemini had spread a blanket over him. He blinked and stared at it a little interested for a few seconds before he let the topic drop. "Yeah, right." Seth remarked, his eyes still wandering over to the vodka bottle with a small grin across his lips. "Are you gunna share?" Seth asked with a rasied brow. He smirked at her as he pulled the blanket closer to him, he knew that she had porribly caught on now that he had been smoking earlier. If she hadn't he probably reeked of it by now since she was sitting close to the bench downwind of him. Seth looked at Gemini expectantly for a few seconds, just teasing her before he went back to staring wistfully into the sky. The grey clouds moved around above his head and made him feel a bit dizzy, but the heat that the blanket was now producing was soothing.

Gemini opened the bottle and took a long swing. She could feel the warm liquid flowing down her throat as she pulled back. Sighing slightly she shook her head and smirked looking at Seth. One thing she was glad that he hadn't thrown the blanket off himself yet, she didn't want him to actually freeze to death. Smirking she held the bottle out to him then snatched it back teasing him about it. "Yeah of course." she told him while she gave him the bottle. There wasn't much of it because she had nicked a small bottle, but there was enough for the two to share.

Seth had been stupid enough to attempt and reach for the bottle the first time that Gemini offered it to him. Had he been straighter in the head, he would have known not to. It was only in Gemini's character to try and pull something like that on him. He blinked for a minute when he realized that his fingertips had only skimmed the side of the bottle and he hadn't actually held it in his hand to begin with. Sighing slightly he gave Gemini a cross look before going back to staring at the sky again absently. He looked all the while temptingly at the alcohol bottle in her hand until she offered it to him again. He grinned now that she had handed him the bottle, and took two large gulps out of it right away. They were large for Seth but if any one else had seen him drinking from it, they would have considered them normal. He handed the bottle back to Gemini, not trying to pull anything on her in fear that he would drop it. He hadn't even sat up to take the two gulps that he had from the bottle. "Thanks I needed that." Seth told Gemini as he went back to slowly staring at the sky. The earth seemed to rotate irregularly underneath him. It was from the drugs this morning no doubt.

Gemini watched him take the two big gulps and said nothing. It was a bit more then he usually took but she said nothing. They both knew that they needed an escape alot of the times. She took back the bottle from him and took her own large gulp. Once she did that she looked at him then up at the sky. "Something interesting up there?" she asked before laying down on the ground next to the bench. She rested the bottle on her stomach and tried to see what it was that he was looking at. When he siad that he needed that she nodded and pushed some of her hair back. "So what's have you been up to. It seems like we havn't talked in ages." she pointed out. It was true it did seem like that. Either they missed each other or they had something to do.
