Mudkips and Teacups

[Takamatsu Takeda]

**I know... damn those bread bangers... -cackles-**


"Yes snow is quite the demonic little.... demon... yea..." He shrugged as though not even understanding his words himself, but just nodded afterwords in the showing of knowing he was right. "Sisters you say?" He had become curious for a moment before his eyes seemed to lighten at a thought, though they quickly became cloudy and almost ragged as though the thought had crossed him. "Must be nice... Sometimes they can be a pain... But eventually you'll realize that they care for you... And... You'd never truly want anything bad to happen to them... Heh..." Taku fell silent for a bit, not knowing this painful topic would've ever been brought up, but somehow it had. Shaking his head to relieve himself, he stared at her. "Enigma?" He wasnt much one for words either, though beyong genius in math and anything computers. Once again he found himself wandering, damn this ADD was kicking in. "Oh a transfer student I see... Woodworking and metalworking hm?" He just gave a slight smirk at her words afterwords before he shook his head. "Im not going to laugh at you... Everyone has something their interested in... So you're a little different than other girls... So what... It's not like you were told to be this and do that... I believe everyone shuold have that ability to express themselves..."

[Jesus, lol]

"Yeah...nine of them." Gazing off into space, she let his words wash over her, biting her lip. "Ha, do I sound that bitter? I don't hate them, I love them more than anything...It's just...it's a different thing to like someone to love them, you know? It's hard living with them..."
She shook her head, breaking out of her reverie. No need to get angsty now! Must...stay...cheerful!
"Hee hee, yeah. You say all those words, but you don't really tell anything. And you're good at turning back questions on people. Damned if that doesn't have at least a little bit of mystery to it."
She winked, tounge poking out, completely playing against the surprising bit of perception she had offered.
Turning the corner, Kei hummed idly to herself, and blinked.
Wait...what?
He...he wasn't laughing at her?
She looked at him like he was crazy. Which, all things considered, he probably was.
She pressed her hand to his forehead, checking his temperature, not really caring that she might have invaded space or anything.
"Is the cold getting to you or something?" Biting her lip, she peered intently at him. "Oh my god, you're serious aren't you?"
Stare of absolute disbelief.
"You are the first person I have ever met not to disregard my ambitions as laughable or bizarre. Please understand if I go into catatonic shock, I'm trying to wrap my mind around this."

[Takamatsu Takeda]

"Yes yes... I have become quite the master of turning things around on people... Maybe that's why I was too good in debate... God I hated that class..." Shaking his thoughts again, he blinked and turned to her smiling and letting out a small chuckle of amusement to her actions. She was quite the lively one, but knew she had that serious component as well, making her a whirlwind of moods all at once that he could barely keep up with himself, and that was saying something. He just stopped and stared at her as well, his brows raising a bit in confusement before his cheeks reddened ever so slightly at her touch, unable to understand what she was doing. "Umm well I would guess I'm serious... I'm not usually one to say things that aren't truthful..." Laughing somewhat entertained, he smiled at her and gleamed a bit in the overhead moonlight. "Well hey... I mean its not like it should be that much of a shock..." He then continued on ahead of her with that same smile upon his face. "Everyone has something they do... If everyone liked the same things, this world would be a boring place... We choose what we like and that makes you the person you are... I myself don't think anyone should be given the idea to judge somebody based on what they like and who they are... It's actually one of philosophies I live by..."

[Jesus, lol]

She gaped at him for a few moments, jaw actually having dropped.
"The way you stare at people makes you look like a fish," unbidden, Mari-neesan's voice floated back into her mind, and she promptly closed her mouth.
Lowering her hand, she wordlessly watched him move on ahead, before grinning and moving after him. She quickened her pace, impish amusement dancing in her eyes.
"Saa, so if I revealed I participated in strange and bizarre sexual kinks, you would just accept it and move on? Wicked cool." Offering a fiery grin, despite the crassness of her statement, she hummed a bit, before grabbing his arm to stop his moving.
"Whoa nelly! We've reached my shîthole."
Releasing him, she fiddled with her sleeves, kicking at the snow absently. Ah, fidgeting.
"Um, do you want to come in and warm up or summat?"
She looked up at him almost hopefully.
Wait, what?

[Takamatsu Takeda]

He laughed lightheartedly at her words before it came to the part about sexual kinks. This idea intrigued him for a moment as one of his brows slowly began its ascent to glory. "That..." He twitched so said brow a few times before blinking and glancing down to her finally, unable to really come up with anything to say. "Well whatever suits you I suppose..." He cackled with a more delicate tone to it. "Though this one would think that stuff to be more private than.... Well that... Heh... But apparently its all cool... we're good..." Shrugging, he found himself yanked to a stop, stumbling just a bit as his hair swayed in the same dismantled manner. "Hm?" He glanced around to find her house, his head tilting a bit before he raised his other brow now with his first. Come in and warm up. It was one of the first kind gestures he had ever been given in his life. He was the one now in awe and shock, almost ready to break a tear, but he refused to show that 'sensitive' side. It was embarassing. So he toughened up and shrugged like he really didn't care, but in retrospect he did. "I really shouldn't... Im not one who's used to taking the hospitality of others... BUT... On account of the weather... I suppose this once wont matter much..."

[Jesus, lol]

"Hey hey, come on, it was only a hypothetical situation! Eesh, please. I'm not some scarlet woman or something."
She laughed freely, shaking her head, and sticking out her tongue.
"PFFFFT. Modesty is for boring people. And in polite company I guess. But mostly boring people."
Oh yes, Kei has little shame. She says what she thinks, because she is a bit blunt like a sledgehammer that.
Looking up at him, and frowning at the traces of surprise in his expression, before they were suddenly gone, replaced with casualness. Eh...? What was that all about? Before Kei could begin to analyze, he was speaking, and she dutifully tuned in.
She felt disappointment begin to creep into her gut, before it was suddenly dispersed. Expression brightening, she laughed and rolled her eyes, twirling away again, before sweeping up the stairs and fumbling in her pocket for a key.
"You sir," she called over her shoulder as she slammed her shoulder against the unlocked and heavy door. "have made what we call the 'right choice'."
Another strike and the heavy ass/frozen door creaked open. She was inside in minutes, holding open the door and hopping from one foot to the next.
"Hurry hurry hurry! All the cold air will come in and then I will freeze to death in the night and you will feel guilty forevar!"

[Takamatsu Takeda]

He felt instantly embarassed beyond all reason, his cheeks reddening once more in heat as he was completely distraught at the fact of having made a fool of himself in front of her. "Ehh... Yea... I suppose... Hehehe..." Shoving the feeling of shame away, he yawned somewhat and watched her bound up the steps, his eyes narrowing a bit. Oh god why did it have to be higher than the ground he stood on now. Above all the things good and sinceere of him, his fear of heights was one that dominated all others. "Are you serious!? Eh..." After having watched her easily rebound up the stone steps, he began inching his way higher and higher, until finally reaching the top after a minute. A real candy ass. Quickly hurrying inside, he tried orienting his mind and telling himself he was on the ground floor, looking around as he did this, always scanning new surroundings for information that oculd be useful to him. "Yes yes I would feel COMPLETELY guilty of you being cold... Hehe..." Immediately going up and ruffling his hair out of irritation, he yawned again, unable to stop himself. He knew it was getting late.

[Jesus, lol]

"Dead serious!" Kei chirped back, right on cue. Grinning away like a madman (which she probably was), she shuffled from foot to foot impatiently, freezing her arse off. Cooooolllld!
And he was taking FOREVAR! Not good for her health!
When he'd finally entered, she slammed the door shut, breathing a sigh of relief as warmth flooded over her. Looking over at him, she smirked confidently.
"Good! Because you would totally miss my radiant personality and pure awesomeness."
Winking, she set off down the hall Surprisingly, she actually lived on the first floor, and soon located their rooms. She blinked at a note on the door.
"Damn, another business trip." Just like always. Crumpling up the post it note and stuffing it in her pocket, she unlocked the door, traipsing inside and kicking off her boots.
"Leave your shoes wherever, I don't care. And sorry about the clutter, mum and I are lazy people. Want anything to drink, eat?"

[Takamatsu Takeda]

"Your total radiance and such hm?" He asked the question in a sort of unbelievable voice. "And I haven't seen that yet?" This time the question overwrote that of the first in the sense of unbelievingness. "I though I had already seen most of it..." He smirked as he soon became warm himself, snapping his neck once before carefully taking off his shoes by the door, picking them up and setting them off to the side gently. Watching her disappear for a few moments, he passed through that so called 'barrier' that everyone felt when they entered a new house, stepping away from the door and into the home. "Hm?" his eyes blinked blankly as he listened to her words before shrugging to himself and sighing. "No I'm fine... Don't want to be too much of a nuisance..."

[Jesus, lol]

"Harr harr, very funny," Kei returned, rolling her eyes. "I see what you did there."
Still, the corners of her lips twitched, as she moved through her apartment, busying herself. Shrugging out of her jacket, she tossed it onto the couch, and rolling up her sleeves. Digging through the fridge, she blinked and looked up sharply.
"Oi! No talking like an angst bucket in my house! Also, don't be stupid. If I wasn't willing to feed you, I wouldn't have invited you in. Durrrrr."
She smiled though, and pulled out eggs and an onion. MMM onions! Amassing various other ingredients (and sharp and pointy knives, fufufufufufu), she gazed at them on the counter. Just sitting there.
Mocking her.
But they shall be cooked and summarily devoured! MWAHAHAHAHA–
Setting on the kettle for delicious tea, she tossed her hair over her shoulder, smirking.
"Today is the day that the world shall tremble for Kei shall create...a masterpiece of DELICIOUS EGGS!"
Gasp.

[Takamatsu Takeda]

"Im glad you saw what I did... Because if you hadn't... Then you would probably need some mental therapy..." Nodding to himself, he watched her in silence as she went to the kitchen, his brow quirking at the ingredients. "Well if you're going to make something... Might as well... I'm not a picky person though..." If something were to be set in front of him, he would usually eat it, unless for some god-forsaken reason it was unedible, he wouldnt. With a sigh, he stared at her in thought, unable to really advert his eyes. So this was Kei. Quite an interesting person to be around. He could easily understand how her life would be lively. She was an independant person, that was the first thing he could instantly get from her, but he never judged so he took back his assumptions and kept them to himself before he made his way towards her as well, leaning against the wall for a bit. "Need help with anything... Might as well use me while I'm here... Heh"

[Jesus, lol]

"Any therapist who got their hands on me would make a killing," She snorted, an affable smile on her lips. What can she say, she can admit that she is a little screwy in the head. Not like that's necessarily a bad thing. Most of the time.
Glancing up, she blinked, and grinned deviously.
"I'll take that at face value and not read into it. Know how to scramble eggs?"
Kei doesn't make omlettes, because she sucks at folding the eggs over. So she just makes delicious scrambled eggs and toast. Mmm, toast!
Withdrawing a hefty knife from the drawer, she started dicing her onion, humming to herself, moving to some song that only she could hear.
Moki had rubbed off on her, she mused, and smiled sadly. Crazy Moki. Maybe she should visit–GAH PAIN.
She looked down at her finger and winced. Ow. Didn't mean to cut like an emo kid thar. At least it was just a nick. But now her knife and onion were all bloody! Groooossss.
"...you will pay for this, Mr. Knife. Oh yes, you shall pay."

[Takamatsu Takeda]

"I suppose they might... Cant really understand why though..." He spoke out of sarcasm, his eyes wandering aimlessly through the kitchen before he nodded at her own question and went to help, heading for the stove. "Yep yep..." His hands worked like that of a pro, clockwork almost, his spatula flying everywhere as he adjusted the eggs, wanting them to be perfect in a sense. After a few moments, he jumped just a bit at her hiss, his head swiveling to the side and glancing over her shoulder. "Hey now... Dont go cutting yourself missy... I dont want aids in my food... Hehehe..." He turned down the stove, and almost became like a mother as he set the spatula down. Heh spatula. Shing sparkle sparkle. "Wash it off..." It was as though he had figured out the workings of the house already and felt right at home, taking charge instantly as though he were in command here. Taku turned to the sink and turned on the faucet as he exited the kitchen. "Where're bandaid thingies at...?"

[Jesus, lol]

"Hurr hurr, because I'm so Aidstastic," Kei drawled, before arching a brow. Wow, he adapted quickly, didn't he? She was almost jealous at how easy it was for him to become comfortable. Lucky bastard.
Watching him turn on the faucet, she groaned out a 'yes mother', before chuckling and heading to the sink, wincing at the sting as she doused her bleeding finger under the cold water.
Cooooold. Not good. But warm encouraged blood flow, which would be counter productive. Damn.
"Uh, bathroom down the hall, first door on the left, in the medicine cabinet...I think. I don't know."
Kei is forgetful like this.

[Takamatsu Takeda]

Taku always had an easy time adjusting to different things. He had been moved from family to family about once every four or five months, so therefore he had a lot of practice at it and became use to the fact that he would never stay in the same place for more than a year if that. As he stumbled down the hall, he pointed at the bathroom as he stepped in, quickly popping open the medicine cabinet before finally realizing this was a basic girls house. "Eh..." He found a lot more than what he had bargained for, laughing aloud just a bit, he grabbed a bandaid, standing there thinking maybe it needed two. Just to be safe. He grabbed another and shut off the light, heading back out to her where he expertly unpacked the dumb little things and reached up to shut the water off. "Alright here here here... Dont complain missy... Wouldnt want something like that getting infected..." Carefully he took her hand in his, bringing his face up close to it. Nurse, scalple. He was gonna be bad without his medicine, he could already feel it coming on. Bandaging her up with ease, he let the other one sit out before smirking, watching his eggs simmer. "All better... Would you like me to kiss it and make it feel better?" He gave a little pouty face before cracking another grin and then turning back to the stove to continue with what he was asked to do.
