"Eh...he does that a lot. Mainly to mess with me..." Mikel chuckled lightly, fidgeting with his fingers, before finally sticking them in his jeans pockets, "He's a pain sometimes..."

"Mm I bet." Danny considered himself lucky to have a private room and not have to share anything with a roommate. They continued until they finally reached the large tree.

Mikel gasped in awe at the large tree, not having wondered over to this part of the campus yet. "Why haven't I ever seen this? Its..." He blinked a few times, examining each part of the tree. It was perfect for shade, and was the biggest tree in the area. It was truly captivating, "It's beautiful."

Danny chuckled as Mikel stared at the tree. He wanders over to a bench that was near by and sits down. "This spot and the area near the library is a popular spot for musicians and music majors hang out and play music."

"Wow, this is really cool. I should come here more often." Mikel walks over to the bench and takes a seat near Danny. He takes another sip of his frappe, noticing it was almost empty. After a moment, he looks over at the other boy, "So...do you play any instruments? Like guitar or piano? Or sing?" To be honest, Mikel realized that, after he said the words, it probably wasn't the best question to ask. It was probably really personal. "I-I mean, if you want to tell me...that is."

Danny leaned back and takes a sip of his drink. "I know how to play piano, guitar and the drums." He said not minding the question at all.

Mikel gaped in awe, "I'll have to hear you play sometime...I bet you're really good at them!" He smiled, eyes closed, "I've always wanted to play the guitar, but I never really had time for lessons when I was younger. My father insisted I do soccer instead."

Mikel then looked away, frowning, "Um...not really. I mean, it's a cool sport and all, and I'm a bit good at it. But...sports just aren't really my thing. Heh, at my high school, I was what people considered a 'jock'. But, only because my dad encouraged me to. He was the football team's leader, and a champion of the old soccer team back in his days as a student at the high school. It kind of...ran in the family, per say." Mikel leaned back and placed his arms behind his head, "I just really needed to get out of that town. So, I came here."

"I can understand why. Dad wanted you to be like him but you wanted to be something else." Danny said.

"Eheh, yeah..." Mikel chuckled, thinking about all the different times he didn't exactly do the things his dad wanted him to. Like when he came home from middle school and told his dad that he really didn't like soccer. Or when he came into the living room late one night to tell his parents about his...preferences. That didn't go too well, either. "You can say I've disappointed him a good few many times." With a sigh, he looked over at Danny, "What about you? Any interesting stories about your life before...this? This school?"

"Would you be surprised if I told you I came from a upper class family"? Danny asked. He decided to see if Mikel would care that he had money or not.

"Hm. Really?" Mikel had no idea. Danny really didn't fit the image in his mind when he thought of an upper class family child going to college. He was...different. In a good way, of course. Mikel remembered the snobby rich kids at school who would tease him and his friends about their lack of money, or what they wore. Danny, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. So, yes, it did surprise Mikel. But, that didn't change how he saw Danny. Danny wasn't that stupid, snobby freshman who stole his new sweater because it looked too "well made" for "his kind". Danny wasn't them. "Well...it does surprise me, I guess. But not in a bad way. I mean...well..." It was hard for Mikel, to even think about explaining what he meant. "Uh..."

"I can see that you are surprised. Why am I not in some Ivy league school. I chose to come to Trinity because I didn't want to go to some fancy school. Might sound cheesy but wanted to be with regular people." Danny said before drinking more of his drink before lowering it.

"N-no...I didn't mean that I think...that I think that." Mikel blushed, scratching his cheek. Oh boy... "I think that, no matter who are are or who you were raised to be, you can still choose to be what you want to be, and what you want to do. Just because you were raised in a higher up society, doesn't mean that you have to be different than us 'regular' people." Mikel then smiled over to him, "And, anyway, I like you as you are! So, I don't care about you being from an upper class. You're still...you, ya know? I wouldn't have cared, whether you were filthy rich, or dirt poor. You're my friend. And I'm happy that you chose to go here. It shows you have courage! Ivy league has nothing against Trinity!" He raised his hand, trying to be cheerful.

Danny chuckled nodding his head. "Yeah your right! Can I just say I'm glad I got the chance to meet you"? He said feeling something warm inside of his chest.

Mikel felt like he got hit by a wave. A wave of fire and ice, splashing against one another. It knocked the breath out of him, numbing him and freezing him, but made him feel warm and heavy, his face becoming slightly red at Danny's words. He opened his mouth, his words jumbled up, before he was able to stutter out something. "O-oh...I, heh, I'm glad I got to meet you too, Danny," He grinned over at the other boy, something fluttering inside his stomach and chest. It was kinda painful, but also euphoric.

Danny gazes happily at him before turning away from him. He watched some birds fly by and some students walk to and fro going to their destination. The whole scene was relaxing and he couldn't help but start humming softly.

Mikel looked away too, face still slightly red. He was watching some students pass by, talking about nothing in particular. He sighed inwardly, trying to calm his racing heart. What...what was that? He closed his eyes, listening to the sounds of the nature and everything around him. Then, he heard Danny hum. It was soft, and Mikel barely caught onto the tune, but once he heard it, he turned to the other. "You can sing?" He asked, quietly, almost in a whisper.

Okay)
Danny heard Mikel and turned to face him. "Yeah I can. Mean it's not super great but mean I can hit some notes." He usually didn't sing much unless someone asked or unless he was by himself.

Mikel was suddenly intrigued. "Can I hear? If that's okay." Mikel himself wasn't that good of a singer, but he loved listening to others sing.

Mikel thought about the song he'd heard on the radio before coming to Trinity. He really wanted to hear those lyrics sung by Danny. He was sure they'd sound wonderful. But, he didn't even know if Danny knew the song. "Hm...do you know Faded by Alan Walker...?" He asked, hesitantly, "It's a really good song." Maybe he should have requested an older song...like Fireflies or something. Faded was still recent.

"I know what you mean." Danny licked his lips and cleared his throat. He started his voice low but getting little higher as the song progressed.

Mikel listened with wide eyes. Wow...Danny was an amazing singer. And the lyrics hit a part of him, nearly bringing tears to his eyes. He smiled and looked down, listening to Danny sing. He softly hummed along, though not loud enough to distract Danny.

Danny continued the song getting into it a bit. He ended on a good note and turned to look at his friend. "So how was that?"

"That was..." He stood up, eyes wide, "AMAZING! You're singing is awesome! Really, man. You need to sing some when you start producing music. You could get famous with a voice like that!" Mikel was grinning, from ear to ear.

Danny blushed running the back of his neck. "Thanks. Never realized that my voice was that good." While he did like to sing, Danny was a little insecure about his voice. Sometimes it sounded great and other times least to him, his voice sounded awful. "Do you really think I could be famous?"

"Of course! I mean, I think you could be." Mikel said, with a smile. He could imagine hearing Danny's voice on the radio, his voice echoing through the speakers.
