 "rude"

[alltheyoungpunk]

Relieved that the boy didn’t seem too annoyed that Leon had claimed the floor as his own mattress, Leon took this chance to take a good look at him. He seemed pretty chipper, and- well, absolutely soaked through to the bone. Leon had barely even noticed the rain on his trip back, which just went to emphasise the pathetic mess he was this morning. Nevertheless, the appearance of this small, rain-soaked boy was… kind of endearing. He didn’t look like the party type, Leon thought, but then maybe he wasn’t. Maybe that’s why he was currently stood up holding shopping bags like a fully functional member of society while Leon was considering whether it would be too weird for him to ask if he could lay back down.

It wasn’t hard to tell that this was genuine sympathy he was eliciting from the boy, which was a little funny considering he didn’t actually deserve it. He’d drank himself into this state and he was fully aware that he was going to have to deal with it today, but it had been fun last night and at the end of the day that was all Leon had been concerned with. He nodded in agreement that his situation sucked, turning to glare at the door handle once more for a moment. “It’s so lame!” he told him, his voice still at a volume slightly higher than what was required for indoor communication. He winced at his own noise that felt like a hammer to his skull.

Turning back to the boy, Leon raised an eyebrow at him, the corner of his mouth tugging into a slight smile. Did he just offer him orange juice? What kind of a college kid was this? He wasn’t like anyone Leon had met the night before, but it was kind of sweet.

"What, you wouldn’t mind a stranger taking a gulp of your juice straight from the carton? You don’t know where I’ve been, man!" he laughed, before straightening his face into a serious, somewhat concerned conversation and speaking in a quieter, more concerned down. "There’s nothing wrong with my mouth. I don’t have anything weird about me. I promise."

He mentally smacked himself at that. Great, he thought, we missed one weird hurdle for sleeping on the floor but we definitely just ran full force into that one.

[worseluckandlessgold]

A nervous laugh was the only response Naegi could manage. If he thought his orange juice offer had been awkward, at least he wasn’t the one swearing that he wasn’t weird. He could point out that it was weird to be sleeping outside in a hallway, but it was better not to be an ass when trying to make friends. Instead he gave an amused head tilt and rummaged through the plastic bag for the carton of juice, “Well I have two cartons if your mouth really is weird!” he laughed again, maybe that convey that he was joking about the mouth thing.  “And if you tell me your name, then you’re not so much a stranger anymore!” Super smooth, kind of like the juice, nice.  “Orange juice is good for hangovers, right? That’s what I heard” he dropped his shopping bags down and then joined them on the floor with an “ooft”.   When the stranger didn’t move, he patted the floor as invitation. “You don’t have anywhere else to be, right? I’ll wait with you”   This was probably a little bit weird, but leaving this guy out here waiting on his own just didn't sit right with him. Besides, Naegi wasn't busy and there was probably worse ways to make friends, like accidentally dropping a drink on them for example. He hoped that his company didn’t think he was crazy and just took the offer. That’d be nice.

It had been exactly ten minutes since she’d told Naegi he could come over and Touko found herself curled up, exasperated, in the designated pile for bedsheets and towels. Even though he had told her he would help - after she’d reassured him that she’d already dealt with the underwear part of the laundry - she still felt a little guilty about it, and had intended to get most of it out the way so they could dedicate more time to fun stuff like movies. But as it stood, she was tired and grouchy and felt like she was getting nowhere, not to mention she was getting backache. Maybe she could just lie here for a few, but then she might just drift off.

Just when she had gotten comfortable, of course, the door sounded. She stared for a moment, emitting a sound that was caught halfway between a noise of irritation and a kind of pathetic sounding whine. Well, she had offered to do something fun with him to take his mind off of… whatever. Finally, she hauled herself up off of the floor and trudged over to the door to let her visitor in. For a split second she had a horrible feeling like it might be one of the other girls, just because that would be typical, but she was pleased to find that it was only Naegi. “O-oh… Good, it’s you……” She murmured, more to herself than to the person in front of her.

Touko glanced nervously over her shoulder - somehow her room seemed messier than ever. “Um…. I d-did….. Well, I did t-try to get things d-done before you got here but…..” She sighed, defeated. It was hard being a girl! He could judge her all he liked but she’d like to see him try to tidy whilst cramping more or less from the waist down. Then again, this was Naegi and he was pretty soft… Maybe he’d just do the rest of it for her if she made a big enough deal about it…..

"Celes went out for the weekend…." She explained, motioning to the slightly tidier half of the shared room. "…. D-Don’t… Don’t tell her that I used her bed as organisation space though…." Touko shot the boy a sheepish sort of look. It was fine as long as she never found out about it, right…? Well… She could trust Naegi to keep a secret at least, she assured herself, collapsing back down into her rest pile. Probably.

[worseluckandlessgold]

Naegi had done his best to be as quick as possible but even so, the likelihood of his friend being asleep upon his arrival was strong. In fact, he’d expected it so much that when she did answer the door, he jumped a little in surprise.  She seemed nervous about the state of her room but he had definitely seen worse. “Eh, it’s not looking that bad” he said, somewhat unconvincingly. It /was/ kind of a lie but it was something he could handle, at least. “I told you that I’d help and look--” he gestured towards the somewhat organised piles “you’ve even got designated piles! That’s more than anyone in my flat can do, well except Ishimaru”. He was beaming in an attempt to convey that things weren’t so bad but he wasn’t sure if that was getting through, or if he just looked way too eager to do her laundry work. It was lucky that Celes was out because they had more space to work...and more space to rest, this felt like it was going to be a “try and then lie down again” mission. But Naegi was determined to keep his working spirit and picked up the first item he saw.  “...Is this a bed sheet or a duvet cover?—Oh I won’t tell her anything but seriously—“ He’d have been less throwaway with his promise of not telling if he wasn’t still struggling to find the corners of this fabric “is this a sheet?”   Apparently Touko wasn’t listening; she’d flopped down onto the bed. She must have been working hard. “You can just sort of...direct me if you need to rest for a while” he shrugged, that’s what friends were for right? “I can probably work most of this out now that you’ve removed all the underwear!”

The odds are that we will probably be alright

"i saw him this morning and he just panic-moonwalked away from me."

The image of Togami moonwalking in any fashion tickled him. But still maybe he should at least try to keep a straight face and pretend to be concerned with the “panic” part. "Oh no”  Yes that sounded really convincing and concerned. ”I can’t believe I missed it! U-uh…what happened this time?”

[gloomypages-blog]

"Right, right??! Really, though, that guy needs to get a clue. Doesn’t he know I’ll chase him down however fast and fancy he makes his escape??" She sighed, long suffering before turning to Naegi with a grin full of mischief.

"Say, Ma-kun~ Do you know where he’s hiding out right now? Maybe you wanna come help me hunt him down? Think of it as a bonding exercise~♡”

[worseluckandlessgold]

“I have no idea where he is but…” Naegi trailed off and thought for a second, there was about a 99% chance that this would turn into some kind of event. But even so, he didn’t really have anything else to do and maybe he’d actually get to see Togami moonwalking? Forgetting the hesitation he’d had for all of one second, he continued “Bonding exercise sounds nice” the grin on his face could have rivalled the one she was flashing. Everyone liked a little mischief once in a while. Besides, even if it did become an event that didn’t necessarily mean it’d be an awful one. Their adventures were always entertaining, at least. “Library seems like a good a place to start as any, right?” 

[alltheyoungpunk]

"Yeah, I have a lot of questions. Number one: how dare you?"

"Uh," he scratched his head, glancing around the room for a possible escape route from the little angry one, "that’s… not even a full sentence, right?" At least if he stalled there was a chance for Naegi to become distracted before he realised the full extent of the damage Leon had caused.

[worseluckandlessgold]

Unbelievable. Usually he had the uncanny ability to stay calm, no matter what ridiculous thing came along to test his patience. But ridiculous things seemed to be having a party lately and Naegi’s life was the dance-floor. Gritting his teeth, he was fully aware that Leon was stalling but he would take the distraction, sort of. The fumbling at least gave him a chance to zone out, he was trying to calm down before he said something he might regret. (The key word being: trying but the result being: failing.) With a sigh he dragged a hand down his face and stared at a point on the wall behind the red-head, he didn’t want to deal with any guilt when Leon started looking all hurt.  “Yeah, yeah okay. Just take your stuff and leave…please” he kept his voice level and even tacked on the last part to try and soften the blow. Today just wasn’t a good day.

"can you believe the zoo wouldn’t let me borrow their white tiger?"

"You know, I actually can believe that. I think there’s probably a policy on borrowing animals from the zoo! Especially ones that can eat people! What do you need a tiger for anyway?”

[worseluckandlessgold]

It seems less punk and more glam, doesn’t it?

[alltheyoungpunk]

"…I can’t have a lion on stage okay it’s hair will upstage mine. Tigers were the next best thing."

[worseluckandlessgold]

"I think the stage will look great with just you on it. You, alive, not eaten by big cats!"

gloomypages replied to your post:"I’m staying positive, but I'm pretty sure this is where we die."

(( THSI HURT ME. I’M BLEEDING. ))

((FORGET JUNKO, IT'S ME. I'M QUEEN OF DESPAIR.))

[worseluckandlessgold]

"I’m staying positive, but I'm pretty sure this is where we die."

“Don’t talk like that. Things like this only happen in movies, we can beat this.” Naegi couldn't say with certainty that he fully believed the things he was saying but he also couldn't let his friend just give into the misery. What hope did they have then? They were all stronger than this and he believed in that more than he believed they’d die here in a stupid school.   “You’re doing the right thing, staying positive.” he perched on the edge of the sink and tried to look as cheery as he could but Leon still looked anxious. Things were rough for all of them and after the “motivation” they’d been given today, he couldn't really expect anything else. Desperately, he tried pushed on with the pep talk anyway. “You’re alive right now! And you said yourself, you have dreams to chase.”  Before Leon could open his mouth and interrupt Naegi’s optimism rant, he added “I think you can do it. Be a rock-star, I mean”  Honestly? He had no idea if Leon had the makings of a rock god or not, but he needed to give him something to focus on to get him through the night so this would have to do.  It seemed to work because Leon’s worried expression changed immediately to one of surprised glee. “For real?” Naegi let out a soft chuckle  “Yeah! Maybe we can even drag Togami-kun along to one of your shows” “Jeez, Naegi-kun. I’m reachin’ for the stars, not the straight-impossible!”  But the redhead was grinning now, whatever was on his mind before had been forgotten or at least pushed away and replaced with something better. Naegi was relieved; if he could just keep the group rallied and happy then maybe things would be fixed sooner rather than later. “Thanks, man.” Leon gave Naegi’s foot a playful kick.  “You’re right; this whole thing is totally wack!  They can’t make us do anythin’!” Naegi couldn’t help beaming. It was a relief to see him back to normal. Hopefully it would stick, at least until tomorrow anyway. After all, what could go really wrong in a night?

[worseluckandlessgold]

"i’m pretty sure I’m having a heart attack, and i haven’t arranged for anyone to clear my browser history."

Naegi leaned against the door and sighed. It had been at least 20 minutes since she’d asked him to come over and she still had him locked out of her room. Junko had let him into the flat and basically laughed in his face when he told her he was here to save the day…somehow. “Fukawa-san, please open the door. I look silly stood out here!”  He wasn’t even sure if she’d called him over for something positive or negative. In fact now he was thinking about it, maybe she hadn’t wanted him to come over at all.  There was a strange noise coming from inside the room but it didn’t help him figure out if this was good or bad. “At least tell me what’s going on. Is it something to do with the date thing?”  She’d mentioned doing something with Togami, earlier in the week. Whether it was a real date or not Naegi had no idea but if she was in some sort of distress, he’d put money on that it being that. A small voice came from behind the door, “I-I’m pretty sure I’m having a heart attack, and I haven’t arranged for anyone to clear my browser history!” Finally an answer…that told him nothing! He smacked his hand against his face and spoke slowly,  “A heart attack from good or from bad?” Another strange noise instead of an answer came from the other side of the door. He decided to try something different and just roll with her weird browser history comment.  “I don’t want you to have a heart attack but if you let me in, we can write up a contract where I swear to delete your history and never mention it?" he put emphasis on the last part, hoping it’d help his case and get him out of the hallway. There was a click and at long last the door opened just a crack to reveal a very flustered looking Fukawa. “Y-You better mean that!” Naegi slipped through the tiny gap she was offering as entrance to her room and when the door shut again he turned and asked, exasperated “So what’s happened?”“I don’t know what to wear”All this for that? Girls were weird sometimes.
