ACTION

[espersions]

[ There's hammering on Andy's bedroom door.... and then Hyoubu just teleports in. Hey, he knocked okay?

He is vibrating with barely-suppressed fury and shaking his CereVice. ]

Look at this!

[lapdogged]

Wha-!

[The indignant 'you can't barge in here!' died on his lips when he saw Hyoubu waving around his CereVice like it was some sort of bludgeoning weapon, his expression instantly darkening into a disgusted grimace]

... let me guess: Yugiri and the Muffin Man?

[espersions]

[ Hyoubu is still in his pajamas and his hair is askew, and for an instant he looks like he's about to shout again, when — ]

Eh?

You got one, too?

[lapdogged]

[Truthfully, Andy's not much better. From being startled by all the excitement, he's sporting his own wild bed hair (not that there's much difference between how it is usually), and clad only in a thin tank top and shorts]

Yeah. Unfortunately. [he wrinkled his nose] I really don't get what it's about.

[littlestbaskerville]

Someone said you might know!

[Thus is sent out the same time she sent one to Tenka...]

What's a condom?

voice;

[lapdogged]

[Why is this happening to him. The second child to ask him about condoms...!]

Er. [Stall. Stall] Before that, who's this? You sound a little... young...

voice;

[littlestbaskerville]

I'm Lily! I'm 12... well, I guess 112? Why?

[She's curious why her age matters?]

voice;

[lapdogged]

[One hundred and twelve? He must've misheard that]

Well, it's just you're too- [He paused when Hyoubu's words floated to mind; 'She's not too young to ask. You'll just make her more curious", and he stifled an annoyed noise. Damn esper. He hated it when he was right...] -nothing. It doesn't matter.

[Sigh. Let's get this over with]

Right. A condom is... it's an item adults use to- they use it for- it's when adults have...

[Sex. Just say sex. Why can't he say sex? Urgh, he felt so dirty! If this day ever came for Yugiri, he was just going to take the coward's way out and direct her towards Princess Sophie instead]

They use it to stop pregnancies and STDs!

[THERE!]

[espersions]

[ The bathroom door handle jiggles, but doesn't turn. And then with a sighing snick the lock unlocks itself, the handle turns all the way, and Hyoubu strolls in. ]

Hinomiya, I wanted to ask you something.

[lapdogged]

[Andy was ready the moment he heard the bathroom door handle jiggling. Ever since the 'Naked Photo Incident', he had taken precautions in case Hyoubu ever had a lapse of sanity and tried to attempt it again. He doubted it, since the man had seemed cowed enough when Andy had expressed his fury, but one could never be too careful when it came to Hyoubu Kyousuke.

So as Hyoubu stepped in, Andy was already glowering at him from where he was taking a bath, enough layer of bubbles to make seeing anything below the surface absolutely impossible whilst also making the room smell quite lovely - even if the bubbles were bright pink but that was purely coincidental]

... do you have any shame at all? [Andy tried to shoo him off, water and soap bubbles clinging to his arm] Ask me later when I'm not naked!

1/2

[espersions]

[ He widens his eyes in a show of apparent surprise. ]

What's the matter? Ugh, you Americans are such —

[espersions]

[ wait ]

Are you —

Are you taking a bubble bath?

[lapdogged]

[At that, Andy stopped his attempted shooing and crossed his arms, straightening up a little and giving Hyoubu the stink-eye, as if daring him to comment on his flowery smelling, bright pink bubble bath. Can't a man treat himself without sneering judgement?]

There's nothing wrong with a guy wanting a bubble bath.

[ A message pops up in your inbox from an anonymous source. How strange! If you don't delete it immediately, you'll be greeted with an audio message that's quiet, at first. In fact, it's quiet enough that just in time for you to turn it up, it starts to speak. It sounds suspiciously like Xerxes Break if you know him, but at the same time, there's a totally stupid voice being used, since it's not like Break would send this message along. Emily, though? Of course. She's such a gossip. ]

Had an x-ray done today. Guess what they found? It was you, safely tucked away in my heart! They said my heart is fine with a friend like you in it. Send this to all the people you love and care for, because if you don't, then something preeeetty bad might happen to them! Heart failure is pretty serious~! Kehehehehehe!!!

(( ooc note ; break is sending this to literally everyone in the game, so I'm sorry... Feel free to figure out he caused it, since it's not like he's trying that hard to hide it. ))

December 24th

[espersions]

[ Although the girls will have to wait until Christmas morning for their presents, for you Andy, your presents come early:


A dog collar


A leash


A bowl

Last but not least is a red envelope; enclosed inside is a gift certificate for dinner for two at the Cerealia Steakhouse ("No one beats our meat"), with reservations confirmed for this evening.

And just so Andy won't have to worry about finding a Christmas Eve date at the last minute, Hyoubu has very helpfully written his name on one of the certificates already. What a guy! ]

[lapdogged]

[When Andy finds Hyoubu in their living room after gaining these wonderful presents, his expression is caught between amusement and irritation. The dog jokes were beginning to lose their effect on him, even if they were still annoying, but if there was one thing to take the sting off of them, it was free steak. He didn't even mind having to share it with Hyoubu. The guy probably didn't want to pass up on the opportunity too ("I paid for it so I deserve it!" or something like that), and, hey, he was good company when he wasn't in an immature mood. A free dinner with Hyoubu more than made up for the dog presents!]

Hey, Hyoubu. [He waved the red envelope around lightly, gift certificate safely enclosed inside. His amused-irritated look shifted into something that look borderline mischievous] You up for steak tonight?

[espersions]

[ He has his hand stuffed in his pockets and is looking extremely pleased with himself, expecting the inevitable barks of displeasure that were the certain outcome of his presents...




But Andy seems to be taking his gag gifts with good humor, which is... well, it's pretty annoying, okay? Pfft, some people are just no fun. Besides that, he doesn't quite trust the mischievous gleam in Andy's eyes.

He'll raise that gleam with a wink. ]

A dinner date? Why Hinomiya, I didn't know you felt that way.

[lapdogged]

[Oh, so he was going to play that game, huh? Well, two could- okay, no, actually, two couldn't. Andy doubted he'd be able to keep up that line of banter without devolving into some sort of fluster (especially considering recent events), so he looked at the red envelope in his hands evasively, and made a loud, thoughtful noise]

So, that's a yes, then? Great. Apparently we have reservations at seven, and it's... [He paused then, glancing at Hyoubu almost questioningly] ... smart casual?

[He's actually never been to Cerealia Steakhouse yet (the tagline had made him leery of the place, to be honest), so knowledge on whether it was fine dining or family restaurant was non-existent. With almost everything in Cerealia being advertised in some sexual way or other, it was difficult to gauge at times]

[good_ideas]

[She took the time to wrap this in silver paper, but not in a way that there would be any doubt as to what it is.
Enjoy your new dish, Andy. Tucked inside is a shirt too.

A card has been included because she's thoughtful that way.

To Token Eyepatch Character:
Woof!

[He couldn't even get mad about this anymore]

It's 'Token Eyepatch Character'. Thanks for the thoughtful presents, I was really in need of a new water bowl.

[Sarcasm aside, it was still nice to get presents, gag-worthy as they were. He needed to return the favour... last-minute shopping here he comes!]

Seriously though, thanks, and merry xmas.

Don't know if you've been keeping up with the local gossip, but your top-secret official title has been revealed.
