keeps on dozing, blissfully ignorant of the back pain he will have when he wakes up. Which would be soon.

starts to balance everything and anything he can find on his head. Once he has a stapler, eraser,book, apple, and a bag of marshmallows -

- balanced.... "Shou-chan wake up!"

can usually sleep through someone's yelling, but this time he did wake up. "Huh-" And with a tilt of his head, everything piled on his head came tumbling down, either onto the floor or his lap. "Ow--"

also winces at the back shooting up his spine before noticing Byakuran and narrowing his eyes. "You shouldn't do that-" Why does he assume it's Byakuran who did that? Because he usually IS.

chuckles and ruffles his red hair. "You're bitter today Shou-chan. Why don't you sleep in a bed instead?"

winces. No hair-ruffling, please. "Because chairs are easy to fall asleep on?" He might have stayed up til ungodly hours. Again. Also, he would sleep in bed if actually ever made it there before he fell asleep.

smiles. "Go take a nap on the bed Shou-chan. You're going to get sick~"

yawns. "I don't get sick that easily." Nonetheless, he might as well take up on that piece of advice. After stretching his back a bit, of course.

stretch with you~! ^^

blinks. Well, if Byakuran wants to, he won't stop him.

stares. What stretch should they do first? ^^

stares back. Well, he's going to start with his neck before moving to his back, but hey, Byakuran can do what he wants. (Probably not a good idea, now that he thinks about it, but oh well.)

just watches him. He stretches in a much different way....

does not want to know about Byakuran's stretching, thanks.

rolls his head like shou-chan to stretch his neck then~! ;D

it will do good for your neck, too. Stiff neck's annoying to deal with, after all. A lesson he learnt after the 200th time of falling asleep on his desk.

rolls his head slowly. Oh this does feel better.

moves to stretching his back muscles next. Ouch.

touches hie toes. That should do it.

repeats the stretch a few more times as his back is rather sore.

watches him, following his movements. "You're stiff Shou-chan~ Relax a little." ^^

looks up a little. "Easier said than done, Byakuran-san." Continues.

help. He gently pushes at his spine. ;D

accept this help only this one time. 3_3

when did you get so stubborn hmph.

just likes his personal space, is that so wrong?

to invade personal space ^^

isn't surprised at all. >.>

frowns and adds pressure, pushing him down more. Hmph.

yelps a bit at that. It's not like he doesn't appreciate Byakuran's help, though, because he does. Sort of.

would like a thank you sometimes.

sighs. "Thank you." There you go.

looks pleased and removes his hands from his back. "How do you feel now, Shou-chan~?"

gets up, rolling his shoulders for a moment. "A lot better, actually." He even smiles a bit, whoa.

so what were you working on? ;D

it's just a new project he has taken up on himself. Robotics, programming, and so on.

stares at his table. "What is it for?"

slightly surprised that Byakuran's asking. "Just something to help a little with daily routines, I guess-" Like Spanner's Mini Mosca had been once upon a time.

just curious. "Will it be able to conquer the world?"

stares. "I'm afraid not."

pouts. "Make a better robot then."

sighs. "This is just a personal project, Byakuran-san. Not for you."

him a teary eyed look.

not fall for that.

nudges him. "At least make one that can carry bags of sweets~"

can do that. "I'll make sure to add that to the list of things to be done, then."

brightens up. "Thank you Shou-chan~!"

can do nice things for a friend sometimes. "You're welcome." He hopes he hasn't been manipulated into something suspicious this time.

would never. He flashes an innocent smile.

trust him for now.

won't be doing anything bad! He has nothing evil planned!

believes him, okay. Though he doesn't feel very reassured either.

why! Pout. </3

happens to know you too well.

smirks. Oh you do now~?

frowns. Alright, maybe not THAT well, but well enough to be wary.

pouts. Everyone feels worried around him...

offers an awkward pat to the shoulder. It can't be helped.

trying to be a....well behaved person now...

bad now. "I'm sorry."

he deserves gifts for not killing anyone ^^

give him a lollipop for that.

blinks. Really? Where?

stares and digs one from his pocket. Wrapped one, of course. He doesn't keep unwrapped lollipops in his pants. "I hope strawberry's fine."

doesn't mind. He opens his mouth expecting the other to unwrap it and feed him.

Byakuran is kidding.

doesn't kid. Ahh~

how he has gotten into this situation as he unwraps the lollipop and sticks it into Byakuran's mouth. Well, it could be worse.

closes his lips on the candy. "haha thanks Shou-chan~"

nods slightly. "You're welcome."

messes with his hair again. ^^

why Byakuran just can't keep his hands to himself. Please, his hair is messy enough as it is.

teasing.

he would stop doing that anyway.

pouts. Fine fine. "When you finish this robot can I play with it?"

sighs in slight relief. "As long as you won't break it." Or make it do anything strange.

what strange things would he do with a robot!

doesn't know! But everything's possible.

won't be doing pervy things with a robot! What kind of person do you think he is?!

did not think that you would, oh dear god! There are plenty of strange things that aren't like that, you know!

what else would he do?! Blaming him for something huff.

sighs. Fine, fine, he shouldn't have said that without any proof. Or at all, actually.

pets him. He's not offended don't worry~

reminds you of the concept called personal space.

forgot. ;D

like you deserve a punch in the face sometimes.

dares you to punch him. Go ahead.

wouldn't punch you. He knows better. But still, sometimes you deserve one.

even allowed you to hit him and you won't? My what a friend you are~! <3

it wouldn't end well if he were to punch you. That's all there is to it. ._.

you should work out a little more~

do so when he finds the time...

help you if you ask~

need some help in getting started, that's true... Er. "Would you mind, er, helping with that-?"

smiles happily. "I'll be happy to! Let's start with.....with.....haha how do people usually work out?" He's actually never worked out a day in his life.

just what he has gotten himself into. Maybe he should give someone else a call about this.

a special work out. One where he shouldn't teach his little Shou-chan~

going to do the stupid thing and ask what that would be.

stares at him. "What else? Sex is the best way to keep fit~"

stares back blankly. "And with whom...?" He's not the least bit queasy. Yet.

winks. "people. It's not nice to pry into things Shou-chan~"

continues staring. "I'm not prying-" Is he? Was he? He seems to have lost control of this conversation.

chuckles. "why do you want to know anyways?"

blanches. "No, I was not asking YOU that, oh god." More like talking to himself, maybe.

rolls his eyes. "don't be shy and just go find someone~"

twitches. "You just don't walk up to people and ask them to have sex with you."

waves a hand. "because you lack confidence~"

hangs his head. "I really don't think it's as easy as that." Maybe with Byakuran's brimming self-confidence (plus looks do help) but that's just Byakuran.

can teach you to be confident then!

plenty of confidence, just not about this sort of thing.

takes his hand. "let's go build your confidence~!"

lets him. "What are you planning?" He might as well go along with this and see how it ends up. Maybe it'll do something good. Maybe.

tugs at his hand. "gonna get you to ask someone out."

if he has done something to Byakuran and this is his way of getting reveng. He follows Byakuran anyway.

would never plan revenge on you. what do you think he is D:

simply wondered if he had done done something. But anyway... on with the confidence thing.

should fly him to a busy city...more people to choose from. He carries irie. "don't squirm~"

squeezes his eyes shut. Normal transportation would be just fine, too!

doesn't know normal transportation. Heck what is normal? He carries him off to the main city.

should have realized that. Buses would have been normal. Or train. Not... the wings made of flames. Too late to complain now, though.

floats above a crowd of random people. "hm see anyone you like~?"

gazes down as he tries not to get sick. What had possessed him to say yes to this idea? "I guess- I mean, yes." Sure, why not.

raises an eyebrow. "Okay go ask them! The best part about asking a stranger is it's okay to get rejected~ you'll never see them again!"

takes a deep breath in. "With my luck, I'll meet them in the next robotics competition or something." He sighs. "I'll go now, then."

drops him right behind the man. He'll cheer for you!

a bad feeling about this, but taps the said man on the shoulder anyway. Once he has his attention, he manages a sort of a smile on his face, nervous as hell, before managing to ask him out after idle chitchat.

denied.

pouts. He needs something flashy. He's way too boring.

isn't that type of guy, in case you didn't know.

finds him boring at times too. Hm... Maybe he should wear something sexier.

does not share his fashion sense. No thank you.

can't actually imagine his friend in anything sexy... ^^;

can't, either. But he has always preferred comfortable clothes over 'sexy' ones, so that might be it.

thinks he dresses like an old man.

does not dress like an old man. He dresses very reasonably in his own humble opinion.

floats by his side and gives him a sad pat on the back. "never hurts to try again."

closes his eyes and sighs. "I'd rather just pretend I never tried that and just go back to my secluded room."

frowns. "that sounds sad Shou-chan."

shrugs. "It isn't, really." It's just how it sometimes goes.

looks disappointed. "I'll bring you back home then..."

offers a tight-lipped smile. "Don't worry about it, really. It's okay." He appreciates the help, anyway, even if he had his doubts.

hook his friend up >D

you don't have to bother with such a thing.

why not? D:

doesn't want to inconvenience him.

just wants his friend to be happy ^^

that's oddly... sweet of him.

winks. You are what you eat? ;D

add ridiculous to that list of adjectives to describe Byakuran, too.

smiles. "Okay let's bring you back home then."

returns the smile. "Yeah... Thanks."

still likes air travel too bad. He throws Irie over his shoulder

kind of expected this, so he doesn't scream bloody murder, though he does groan out loud. Public transportation is still much better.

public transportation. Smells funky. He flies off, ignoring the people below him, and back to Irie's house.

what Byakuran will do during winters, then.

still flies. He gets snow in his hair but it blends in!

no idea how Byakuran hasn't died of hypothermia yet.

gets warm and cozy when he gets back home! He drops him off in front of his house.

shakes his head slightly as he gets away from Byakuran. "Thank you, I guess."

you're welcome. Have fun with that robot~

waves at him. And yes, he will have fun programming that robot.

waves back. ^^

see you later sometime. And please don't try to hook him up with anyone, okay.

try not to....maybe. evil laugh.

prepare for the worst anyway. Bye.
