Michael and Jagger continued to hang out with one another, they spent all their spare time together, bonding as boys do. Swimming in the lake followed by watching the stars is a favorite.
Jagger stepped back to enjoy life a little, always immersed with responsibilities and burdens. Being as natural as it is for him he still maintained his “eye on the prize’ thoughts at the back of his mind, he wasn’t going to let Michael go without knowing his true core, his own personal quest, however in the mean time he enjoyed Michael’s company to lighten the load off his own soul.
Michael on the other hand embraced to enjoy having a big brother again in his life, with many more similarities and involvement, than he’s ever had with his own brothers. Michael's biggest comfort was knowing he was safe with Jagger and that was his biggest comfort.

Michael enjoyed having his new friend spend time with him, even when they were doing different things; they still managed to enjoy each others companionship.
Sometimes no words were spoken between them, it was knowing that the other was there in presence and company. Moments of silence were never awkward.

Michael and Jagger both love the outdoors, spent most of their time studying after class by the lake. Michael noticed in the sunlight Jagger would sparkle with a chime like ring to his presence, never prying or asking, he did start to wonder about him. His curiosity was getting the better of him, he wanted to ask him about his kind and who or what he was, yet he knew it wasn’t important, his friendship was and he refrained from bringing it up. He figured Jagger would tell him if he really wanted to.
Jagger still urged inside to know more about Michael. He sensed Michael had no idea who he was and was too polite to ask. He didn’t want to be the one to bring on the heavy talks. Jagger was a lone hunter and wanted to embrace his new friend, more than he ever thought he would. He too didn’t want to press, he was starting to enjoy being around someone who didn’t fear him or accuse him of being an animal, allowing him to be himself, something he’s never had before.

During their talks they simply enjoying their environment and exchanging general chatter about class, jokes, gossip about class mates and simple university stories. Neither of them wanted to dive into heavy conversations, yet both were burning with many questions that were lurking inside their minds.
Jagger began to embrace Michael's innocence and appreciation for the finer things that he had taken for granted in his long lifetime and Michael embraced Jagger’s wise and brave exterior, his father like manner.
Both boys found something in one another that the other lacked, yet craved themselves.

Both doing the same course allowed them to enjoy sports; they played soccer together when the weather permitted.
Michael had noticed that Jagger was very fit and extremely fast, faster than he’s ever seen the speed of any living creature. It reminded him how embarrassing his own fitness was to himself.
Jagger noticed Michael was much slower and unfit, never once made him feel clumsy or lousy about it. Simply embracing their social outings and ‘boy bonding’.

Jagger noticed Michael was quiet by nature, he could see that Michael like himself would put a lot of responsibilities on his own shoulders. He knew Michael was quiet by his softly spoken voice when he listened to him. He also knew university was a great place to learn but the social aspect is the best part of university. He took him out to social events a little more, they tried bowling and having a few drinks at the university bowl’s club.

Their events and hobbies were endless. They found nothing about each others interests that didn’t match. Two worlds apart in knowledge and experience and both were feeling the same, the enjoyment of each other and their surroundings.
Jagger knew vampires didn’t have friends, it was rare, everyone fears them, and humans hate them. For him this was very new turf that, he was experiencing and he appreciated the feelings that it gave him.
Michael with his own insecurities and demons that lurked in his own soul, for everything he had been through felt Jagger was the first person to ever give him a sense of equality, a reason for his own worth, to not doubt himself and that he is in deed a good person, Michael felt a lot more confidence in himself next to his friend.

As there is a wide array of students and courses, students would support others when there is busking or other activities involved. The boys love their music knew how to put a groove on with their guitars. They joined a band together and would rock the uni grounds; often many students enjoyed listening to their music and gave them tips.
They joined a band together, more students were hearing about them and wanting to watch their gigs. They would get a good laugh and have a great time entertaining themselves and others.

Not all times were hectic and fast paced, they even enjoyed watching some tv and discussing matters about the subjects raised in the show. Both loved the verbal challenge and were not short of expression their thoughts on a subject matter.
Jagger embraced Michael’s higher intelligence and his ability to analyze matters in a way simple cretin humans didn’t.
Michael felt normal and at home talking to someone who didn’t look at him sideways when he brought up a subject matter, only to be shut down because they didn’t understand him. He felt comforted knowing the Jag just got him, understood his every meaning.

Michael could feel his walls slowly coming down; he never had anyone to enjoy so many hobbies and similarities with. He was getting out on the campus more and deeply embracing his time with Jagger. Albeit he was enjoying himself, he still raged inside with uneven emotions, an anger was brewing, he knew he hadn’t mourned Dakota’s death properly, he didn’t know how to be any different, he continued to suppress the growing rage.
Jagger knew they were two worlds apart not only by location but in life time experiences and knowledge. He couldn’t help himself to enjoy and embrace the happy times he was experiencing with Michael, to lighten his own burdened soul, he himself knew he wouldn’t be able to have fun for much longer, he would be summoned for work. He never had a chance to really enjoy his own life as it is always filled with serious work.
Both enjoyed the freedom of worry-less problems, just having male bonding and ‘boy’ fun.
With many interests and common traits they both realized they were one another missing piece to the many pieces of their own confused and muddled puzzles.
