Travis knocked on the door and waited. The door opened and he was met with a pair of green eyes.

"Hi, you must be Dante's friend! I'm Vylad." He said, smiling.

"You must be Dante's boyfriend." Travis said. "He's told me so much about you."

Vylad let Travis in and he was immediately greeted by Dante.

"Hey, Travis! Good to finally meet you!" He said, shaking Travis' hand.

"You too, man!" He said, then looked around. "Ok, who are the other three?"

"Laurence."

"Garroth."

"Nice to meet you guys." Travis said, shaking their hands.

Then he walked up to the last guy who immediately stood out to him. He had the most beautiful bright blue eyes, and Travis could stare into them all day.

"And you?" He asked, holding out his hand.

"Zane." The guy mumbled, sticking his hands in his pockets and looking away.

Travis shook off the Zane's weird behavior and decided he would ask later. They all started eating and talking, and Travis made quick friends with everyone.

Except Zane, who wouldn't talk to anyone.

"Hey, why wouldn't he shake my hand?" Travis asked Garroth.

"Oh, I don't think I have the right to tell you that." Garroth answered. "Go ask Zane yourself."

Travis walked over to the blue-eyed man, who was standing in the corner of the room.

"Hey." He said, looking at his eyes.

"What do you want?" Zane asked in a cold tone.

"Jeez, no need to be so harsh!" Travis exclaimed. "I just wanted to ask why you weren't talking to anyone."

"I'm just not very good at making conversation." Zane said, trying to get this over with quickly.

"Oh, me neither." Travis said, rubbing his neck.

"Oh." Zane said, looking down.

"Oh, and one more question." Travis said, gaining Zane's attention. "Why didn't you shake my hand when I introduced myself?"

Zane was a little taken aback by the question, but recovered quickly.

"That, I don't wish to tell you." He said quietly.

"Oh, c'mon. You can tell me!" Travis pushed.

"I said; I don't want to tell you!" Zane said, and he looked at Travis.

Travis was shocked when he saw anger and sadness in Zane's eyes. He also saw tears threatening to spill.

"Ok, Zane I'll stop asking. I'm sorry." Travis said, and he meant it.

"I'm going home." Zane mumbled, and he walked out the door and drove off.

Garroth walked up to Travis. "Woah, dude, what happened?" He asked.

"I messed up." Travis said, his voice breaking. "I messed up real bad."

Well, look at that angst! Travis hit a touchy subject, didn't he?

Yeah, I know I'm evil. But it's progressing the story!

Anyway, that was this chapter.
