Warm water splashed over his body, sending warm chills down his spine. He sunk deeper into the bath water, letting the warmth engulf his frozen body. His eyes were closed, in case someone walked in on him. When taking a shower or bath was one of the only times Sabre would remove the thin black cloth from his eyes.

He let out a soft sigh, running his hands over his own body, feeling all the scars and marks that littered his body. He was mindless, letting himself take in every ounce of warmth.

When the water ran cold, he sat up and unplugged the tub. He stepped out, drying his body with a towel, soon dropping it to the floor. He slipped on the extra clothes that light brunette had given him. As he went into the spare bedroom, a sudden weariness and tiredness washed over his aching muscles. Sabre crawled into bed, laying down and pulling the soft blankets over his exhausted body. He took his thin black cloth and put it on, curling up underneath the blankets afterwards.

His eyes closed behind the cloth, and his vision faded to black as he drifted off to sleep.

Sabre was gently shook awake, his eyes peeling open.

"Hey sleepyhead. Come on, there's food on the counter for you." 

Sabre looked up, seeing the light brunette standing over him, a smile on his perfect lips. He gave a simple nod to the standing male, sitting up in his comfy bed. The male left the room, to let Sabre get up on his own. 

A soft sigh passed Sabre's lips as the other male left the room. He got up, his head pounding. Soon that pain passed and he shuffled out of the room. 

"Hey Shakespeare! How are you buddy?" The male with shades asked. Sabre then heard the clicking of nails on the floor and a bark: a dog. Sabre walked into the kitchen, passing by the dog and the light brunette. He sat down and began eating, the food for him that is.

He watched as an auburn haired male walked into the room, his hazel-chocolate eyes peering over at Sabre. Sabre cowered a bit, quickly avoiding eye contact with him. "Hey, who's that?" The auburn haired man asked the navy blue eyed male. 

"Oh calm down, Ryan. He's just a friend of mine. We...We met at PAX! Yeah. He needed a place to stay, so I offered to let him stay with us." 

'Ryan' rolled his eyes and went down the hallway, disappearing into a room, presumably his own. Sabre looked back over at the light brunette, who was approaching him.

"Ah, don't worry about hum, bud. He already knows by now. Oh! By the way, I never caught your name." He spoke.

"I..I'm Sabre." Sabre replied in a shaky voice, his voice cracking.

"That's a cool name! It's nice to meet you Sabre. I'm Shark."
