Korbin lumbered into the library. He should start looking up sources for that 10 page sociology paper he had due in a few weeks . . . buuuuut, he didn't feel in the mood for staring at a screen that did not have on it zombies to shoot or ghosties to take pictures of or shiny items to find.
So one question still remained . . . what the hell was he to do to occupy his free time with? He began to survey his surroundings for anyone to talk to, might as well distract people from their school work since he wasn't going to do his own.

Douv's fingers tapped rapidly across her keyboard, her eyes on the blinking screen of the library computer. One of the students had unwittingly downloaded a virus onto the system and she had been commissioned to kill it.
Kill. It. Dead.
It was sort of like a sniper perched on the roof of a building, waiting for a clear headshot at the target seated at an outdoor cafe three blocks away. Except the gun was a code. And the virus was a anomaly in that code.
Someone spoke nearby. Asked her a question. Douv's fingers faultered and she stammered a response, keeping her eyes down. The other student replied with something nondescript and left.
Douv took a breath, rubbed the blush out of her cheeks, and continued.

Korbin spotted a girl on a library computer, a very cute girl. He'd seen her around and she always looked the same: nose shoved in a computer or a book, usually a computer and always had . . . that sad look. He watched as a different student came by and tried to talk to the girl, she ignored him and the student left. Oh, they gave up waaaay too early and too easily. Ok, he was going to break this girl of her silence and her tapping.
He speed walked straight over to the girl and pulled up a rolling seat, right next to her. He proped his chin up on his fist, leaning his elbow on the table. He gave her a glowing smile. "Hiiiiii! I'm Korbin, what's you're name?"

Douv typed a few more lines and faltered again when he heard a male voice.
Right next to her.
Douv froze and turned her head haltingly to look at him.
"Wh-what?" She felt the color rise in her cheeks. "Um... Douv? Who?"

Korbin's smile broadened. Awww, her blush was so cute. He reiterated in a calm voice, "My name is Korbin. So you're name is Dove, huh? That's an interesting name." He glanced at the computer screen then looked back at the girl. "And I asked what you were doing?"
The poor thing looked so shocked to actually have some one talk to her, it was so amusing. Korbin had to fight a chuckle by biting his lower lip.

Douv blinked. "Y-you never asked what I was... doing." She looked to the screen adn then flicked her gaze back to the male. Pretty boy.
"I'm k-kkilling a virus."
She looked at the keyboard again and typed a few more lines, then paused and looked again. Was he still there?
"What are you doing?"

Korbin's eyebrows went up. "Ah-ha! so you were listening, I couldn't tell."
He continued to watch her as she typed. "Well, I'm glad someone can understand computers. I know a bit but not enough to fix much."
At her question, he smiled, keeping his eyes on the computer screen. "I'm talking to a girl that knows her way around computers," he explained very matter of factly, "Oh! And perfecting my major in procrastination. . . Yup, that's about it."

Douv arched an eyebrow and pursed her lips slightly. Smart alec.
She turned back to the computer and went back to rapid-fire typing. Maybe if she was absorbed he would get bored and leave her alone.

After a few moments pause Korbin asked, "So . . . why are you killing viruses? Did you just stumble upon it, did someone ask you or . . . what?"
He began to drum his fingers on the table to the beat of a linkin park song stuck in his head, "waiting for the end" to be exact. Ohhh!! That put him in the mood for going crazy on the drum set in the band room . . . but he had a cute babe to cheer up at the moment.

It took a moment for Douv to register that she was being spoken to.
"Wh-what?" She turned to face the boy and accidentally made eye-contact. Oh dear. Douv's cheeks burned and she dropped her gaze to his chest. "A student accidentally downloaded a virus and I was asked to f-fix it."
She watched his hands for a moment then brought one hand to her lips, nibbling on her fingertips. Might as well.
"I'm almost d-done, if you want to give me a minute."

A slow smirk curled across Korbin's face. So, she was willing to be social! Awesome! "Take all the time you need, Babe," he said, a bit of smugness in his voice, "What would you be interested in doing? Actually, want to grab some food, I haven't eaten since breakfast."

Douv blinked at "babe," but chose to ignore it. She went back to typing.
"Food sounds nice..." Tappity tip tap tap tap.
A few more lines, and a blinking codec component signaled that the virus had been terminated. A satisfied smile curled across Douv's features, and she patted the top of the computer. "All done." She closed out of the program and set up the computer for reboot, crossing her arms while the CPU buzzed.

Korbin stood, seeing that she seemed to almost be done. He rolled his neck, trying to loosen his tense muscles. He crossed his arms, though he liked being around people. . . touching was an issue with him. He offered her a smile to counter act his defensive posture. "Cooome oooon," he said, sounding playfully impatient, "I'm starving!"

Douv's fingertips rose to her lips again, and she watched him warily. She was hungry as well, but...
She supposed he would be less than disgusted when she drank blood. Attending a school with vampires would more than likely desensitize someone to that. Hopefully.
She walked towards the door and looked back over her shoulder at him.

Korbin was out the door before she was and lead the way to the hallways. . . might as well, get to know her a bit. "So, Babe? Are you a senior or a university student? I don't see you wearing a uniform," he said, pointing to his oun attire, the human uniform. He turned to walk backwards, so he could face her, but he continued to look over his shoulder in an almost parranoid fashion, not wanting to run into anyone.

Douv watched his feet as he walked, not able to meet his eyes.
"I-I'm a senior. But I take a few college credit courses." She hooked a stray curl behind her ear. "I didn't go to classes today. I was working on the computer system and..." her voice slowly trailed off, "and I had a note for... not going."

He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. "Lucky! I wish I could get notes for not going to class," he said, "I would lock myself in the band room or my dorm and do nothing but drum and play video games and . . . "
He then noticed that she never seemed to look him in the eye. He tilted his head and bent slightly at the waist so their eyes met, offering her a soft smile. "Are you scared that you're going to fall or something? You keep looking at the ground."

A new blush heated Douv's cheeks and she blinked several times. "N-no, I'm just not so good with new people is all."
Flustered, she slipped her hands in her pockets to keep herself from thumb-fiddling. "S-so, you're a drummer?"

Korbin arched an eyebrow, he didn't see why she should have problems with talking to "new" people. But then again, he was what James liked to call a "social whore" and never had problems making conversations with people.
He straightened and decided to alternate to walking beside her instead of risking running into someone while his back was turned. He took special care to put a distance between the two of them.
"Yeah, I drum," he said with a smile, "It's one of the few things I'm good at." He shrugged and pulled his lips to one side. "I enjoy it, and it kept me from destroying stuff when I was younger, or so my mom says."

Douv giggled and quickly covered her mouth with one hand to hide it. She coughed once and crossed her arms loosely, looking around the hallway.
"I've got a brother who drums. But he's tried to learn to play just about anything, so that's not saying too much." She chewed on her lower lip thoughtfully and snuck a glance a Korbin through her hair. "D-do you have siblings?"

Ah-ha! So she did actually know how to continue conversation, good. Well, he knew she could but, if she wanted to. A smile curled across his lips. "Yeah, I have an older sister and a cousin that might as well be a little sister," he said as he shoved his hands into his pockets. "My older sister is obsessed with disney princesses and she would force me to watch them with her, under penalty of breaking my drum sticks or using them on me," he chuckled lightly, "She's a pest but that's how I know she cares, ya know?"
He shrugged. "So what about this drumming brother of yours?"

Douv couldn't fight the smile curling across her lips. This boy was amusing.
"His name's Darrekyn. He's the second youngest of the five of us. I mean, my oldest brother doesn't live with us anymore, but you get the idea."

Korbin's eyes got huge. "FIVE??! Holy crap!" he exclaimed running a hand through his allready mussed hair, "I can barely stand one older sister and you have . . ." He took a second to think, "four?!" His hand in his hair fell to rub the back of his neck. Just thinking of having one Kelsy was enough, having three more would be craaaazy! (btw: Kelsy is his older sister)
He arched his eyebrow at her and asked, "Are you the only girl in the family?"

Douv gave in and let a big smile run across her face. Okay, this kid was cute. A bit absent-minded, but cute.
"Yeah, I've got two older brothers and two younger brothers. Dad runs a programming company in Hong Kong and mom's an astronaut. We don't live with our parents because they both travel so much, but there's NASA memorabilia all over our house."

He ponders for a moment. "Well, that certainly sounds awesome, but it sucks that you don't get to see your parents that much," he said thoughtfully. "But hey, at least you have your brothers right? are they nice to you?"
He had accidentally stopped paying attention to where he was going and bumped into another student, his bare arm brushing against the student's. He winced and bit his lip as a shot of electrical pain shot through his arm.
