LOG : Raziel + Kay
Who; Raziel and Kay.
What; Kay and Raz talk, get wet and genenally make idiots out of themselves.
Where; The dormitory halls, the campus grounds.
When; Shortly after this post.
Why; Because Shi Rong was tired of hearing Kay's insane laughter.
Warnings; They swear a lot. OH AND THERE'S SOME KISSING.
What?
Uh. Right. Get up, check. Open door, check.
What.
Kay was standing at his door and Shi Rong was walking back towards the dorm when Raz opened his door. She immediately went to run a hand through her hair and shrug like everything was cool.
"...uh. She got tired of me making so much noise then hijacked my computer and uhh... Here I am?"
"Or she was reading and got frustrated with us," he replied, thinking that it was like Shi Rong to do so.
"... uh." He cleared his throat. What now what now what now.
Well this wasn't awkward. Not at all.
"Uhh yeah. When I fell off my bed laughing, she started reading over my shoulder. Something about me being an idiot then she dragged me down here and said she'd throw out my booze if I tried to escape."
She hadn't planned on talking to him face-to-face, especially not after what had been said over the journals. Fuuuuuuck. What now?
"Gotcha." He scratched the back of his neck. He was so inexperienced at this... talking stuff. It usually went straight to the make out session. There weren't any emotions involved. Stupid stupid.
He had to laugh a little bit. "Fuck, this is so awkward."
Kay bit her bottom lip then laughed quietly, "Really? Awkward? Nooooo." She shook her head and pinched the bridge of her nose, "I think this was her way of trying to help and get some sleep at the same time. But uhh... It wasn't really all that helpful for us, you know?"
She leaned against his doorframe and gave him a crooked smile, "So... What now?"
He shoved his hands in his pockets. "I dunno. It's not like this has happened to me before."
Nice going, Shi Rong.
"Yeeeeeah..." Kay looked around, this was totally awkward. "I'm just going to uhh... Go. And uhh... Tell Shi Rong that she sucks or something..."
And yet, she wasn't moving.
"... uh." Shitfuck. "You're leaving?"
"I uhh... I don't know? I mean... Awkward?" Shit. This was why it was easier when they were just snarking at each other. Kay was a social retard. "It seemed like the... Right...thing to do?"
"... well, it's, um. Not?" Not even he was sure. But he didn't want her leaving. Kind of. Maybe. Or not. Or. Shit.
"Do you wanna take a walk around outside or something?" he blurted. Yep, Shi Rong was gonna get it.
"I'd love to!" Kay sputtered out only to immediately realize how eager she'd sounded. She cleared her throat, "I mean uhh... If you want? Yeah?"
"... haha. Nice. Just a sec," he said, and went back into his room to get his shoes and a jacket (just in case he'd need it to look chivalric or something). At least this was going well so far. He would have invited her in to talk but uhh... sleeping compass boy was already pissed at him for yelling.
He came back out a few seconds later, closing the door behind him. "Okay, uh. That way!" he declared, pointing. He was a dork, but he never wanted to admit it.
She wouldn't joke about sudden lack of cool, she'd been enough of an idiot tonight to give him plenty of ammunition should the situation arise. Instead she fell into step next to him, keeping close but not too close. It wasn't a very long walk to get on to the campus grounds, "So uhh... About what I said earlier... On the journals. That's gonna stay between you, me and Shi Rong, right?"
Not that she was trying to be a mood killer. But she did have a reputation to maintain and all. Couldn't have people thinking she'd gone soft or something.
"Yeah. That'd be good," he agreed, mood not killed in the slightest. He didn't want people knowing what he had said. Two birds with one stone, everybody's happy.
"Just can't go around pushing cute guys into the frozen lake, getting drunk, then confessing feelings of like to them without having people think it's going to become a habit."
She nudged him with her elbow and gave him a smile, "Next thing you know I'll have thirteen year olds thinking I got the hots for them because I shoved them in a locker, you know?"
Ahahaha, she called me cute. Hahaha. Haha. Ha. Oh boy.
"Oh yeah, I get where you're coming from." She thinks I'm cute. Haha. Okay. That's enough laug - ahahaha - no stop it. Sto ahahaha I can't. What the hell? Sto AHAHAHAHA.
Okay.
That was weird. Way to go, brain.
Kay gave him a look, "What the fuck are you thinking about that's making you grin like that, blondie?"
"Huh?" Oh, SHIT. "Ahaha. Nothing. Haha. Ha." FUCK STOP LAUGHING IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE. He straightened himself. "Seriously. Nothing." He still had a slight smile, though.
"Uh huh," Kay took a step away from him as she was walking and found the trees to be incredibly interesting.
"You're uhh... Really weird sometimes, you know that?"
"Only when nobody's looking," he said. Well, at least he felt comfortable enough around her to be a complete idiot. Or maybe it was nerves.
For the sake of his image, nerves. Oh yeah.
She gave him a sideways glance, "Oh, so I'm a nobody now? Thaaaaaaanks."
Hey, the retarded Raz was better than his usual dickface behavior. "Way to make a girl feel special."
"Oh, come on. That's not what I meant. It just means I feel comfortable enough around you to say or do whatever the hell I want. That's a good thing," he answered.
"Suuuuuuure. I bet you say that to all the girls." She strayed from the sidewalk and onto the grass, her bare feet thanking her and silently cursing Shi Rong for dragging her out of the dorm without letting her grab her shoes. "So... Comfortable, eh? Better than being... Uncomfortable, I guess."
Way to grasp the English language, Matthews.
He paused. "I don't," he said honestly. ... what the fuck am I getting serious for, he thought to himself.
Kay stopped walking and gave him a look, was he being serious?
"I was kidding, Raz. You don't have to get serious on me, swear."
"... right. Dunno where the fuck that came from! Haha!" Smooth cover up. God, you're STUPID.
She stared at him for a second.
"You really like me, don't you?" Kay tried not to laugh, she tried to stay composed and be polite but her daddy didn't do a very good job at raising her to be lady-like. She let out the quietest of giggles, trying to keep a straight face.
"... uhhhhh, duh. That's why I said it." He looked over at her then. "Sh-shut up," he stuttered, starting to turn red for the first time in about 5 or 6 years. "God, you're giggling now. Fuck. Stop it!"
She was laughing hard now, "I didn't think you meant it like that! I thought you meant you didn't hate me! And here I was calling myself an idiot for telling you I liked you and you'd already gone and admitted it to me!"
This was classic. God, she wished she's picked up on this earlier. It would have made things so much easier.
He literally facepalmed. "You idiot. It took me forever just to type that and you didn't even realize what I MEANT." He wanted to dig a hole and just go die right now.
"Hey! I'm not an idiot!" Her defenses immediately went up and she gave him a hard shove. "You're the one that ... And you lie all the time! And... I'm just a little slow, okay?! How was I supposed to know you meant it like that! Shit! It's fucking hard to get an honest answer out of you!"
He just stared at her. He didn't know if he was mad or hurt or what. Yeah. That hole idea sounded good. Let's go.
She stared back.
"Uhh..."
"... yeah, you're right. Sorry. I kinda said it without thinking about it. That's what I do, my mouth's always ahead of my brain, haha!"
Well then.
He felt just peachy.
She rubbed the back of her neck, feeling like a total idiot. So she had a few rage issues that needed to be worked out, she'd have to work on that. "This talking thing is hard."
"Yeah," he answered absent-mindedly, his mind still stuck on what she yelled at him for. It shouldn't have been, but she was right, and that's why it stuck.
"Uhh... Sorry... About that..." She gave him a sheepish smile, "At least I didn't try to set you on fire?"
Kay was just as bad as Raz with talking before thinking, "You can uhh... Pretend I didn't say anything... I just uh... Snapped and I shouldn't have. You're just really hard to figure out, that's all. Really. It's not that bad."
Fuck.
"Hey, forget it," he said smiling. "We all lose it." He wasn't mad at her, no. But she was right. "It never even happened," he lied perfectly, "nope, never. What are we even talking about? Nothing happened."
She pinched the bridge of her nose again, "Raz..."
"What? Did that suck? It sucked, didn't it. This MUST be why the drama department never gives me big roles and only parts with one line... or an ensemble... they never even gave me a solo... er. Tangent. Sorry. What?"
"Wh... E..." She couldn't even form a coherent reply, she just stood there giggling.
"What? What'd I do? Did I say something stupid?" He was actually confused now.
"Are you always this big of a retard in front of the girls you like? Because it would really explain why you hop girl to girl. You confuse them with nonsense."
"There's not really much talking with other girls," he said simply.
Wait for it . . . . . .
"... I'm not a retard!"
"I yelled at you and called you a liar and you babbled about theat- Wait...you did theatre?" She scrunched up her nose and gave him a lopsided grin, "That's just precious. And you are a retard. About as big a retard as I am."
"I gave it up in middle school and did choir instead," he said. "And.... yeah okay I guess I am a retard. Fine, fine. But not precious. That's just... yeeeaah. No."
"You do ch-" Kay didn't get a chance to finish that sentence. She heard a hiss and her eyes went wide when she realized what was about to happen.
It was too late to escape.
The sprinklers turned on, leaving her looking like a drowned rat.
There were no words, only laughter. The loud kind. And lots of it.
Kay just stood there, her face permanently stuck in a look of disbelief as she shook her head. There really were no words.
She sighed and did the most logical thing she could think of. She grabbed Raz's hand and dragged him into the crossfire. ...crosswater? No, that just sounded stupid.
There were no words here either. Only incoherent screams about his hair oh god the HAIR what did you do to my hair.
Kay laughed, "I've said it before, you look better wet" With any other guy, this would be the moment where she ran away but that probably wouldn't work very well against Raz. But she could try, right?
She broke out into a run, her feet occasionally losing grip on the slippery grass, and called back to him, "I guess that power isn't very useful when you don't see it coming!"
"Hey!" he called, running after her and picking up enough speed to catch her by the shirt. "Yeah, but it's useful for stuff like this!" You couldn't outrun him. Unless you tripped him.
She slowed down when she felt the tug on her shirt, no point in running from a guy who could break the sound barrier, right? "Fine fine, I lose," she laughed, catching her breath. At least she'd run in a direction where the sprinklers weren't running. "Suppose I'm gonna have to owe you something what with getting caught and all, huh?"
"Yeah, that's right," he answered, trying to get the water out of his hair but failing horribly. Yeah, he didn't get it.
Kay cleared the space between her and Raz and gave him a grin, "Your hair is fine, blondie. So... What should I owe you? Hm? Letting you copy my notes would probably hurt more than help so that's out..."
He leaned in and kissed her. Now he got it. Way to be slow.
"That," he said after he pulled away.
...
...
She stared at him for a moment (she was doing that a lot tonight), her mouth slightly open, "I... You... You stole my thunder."
"Haha. I win," he grinned.
"I don't like losing and I really..." She leaned in and kissed him, "Hate-" And again. "Being-" Again. "One-upped."
"We can call it a draw. Would that make you feel better?"
"I can settle for a draw." Kay gave him a stupid grin, "You know, we're standing in the middle of the grounds, soaking wet in the dead of night. Honestly, who thought it would be a good idea for a walk? If I catch a cold there'll be hell to pay, Caedin."
"I said walk, not 'have an unfortunate accident with sprinklers' as we obviously did," he answered. "And wah wah wah. You're not gonna get a cold."
"You never know! I could catch a cold and get the consumption and die and it would be all your fault." She gave him a look. "And then I would have to haunt your ass for killing me."
Kay took his hand and started walking back to the main campus. Sheesh, they'd really manage to wander a ways away from the dorms. "At least I'd make a hot ghost."
"Riiiiight," Raz answered, amazed at her active imagination. "You would."
"At least I'm not babbling about getting shafted during auditions after getting yelled at..." She trailed off, having just been reminded about her shitfit earlier. "Uhh... Sorry about that whole moment of rage thing. You're just uhh... A little hard to read sometimes."
"And you're not?" he asked. "You don't see me whining about how frustrating it is for - " Mouth. Brain. "Sorry. Just, uh. Sayin'."
She could tell where that sentence had been going, "Sorry about that. Me, I mean. Uhh... I'm not all that great at emoting. Blame dad. You can probably blame him for the bouts of anger too. Never really taught me how to express myself through words, you know? 'You get mad, you punch something.' 'Never let them see you cry, kid.' 'Never let your guard down.' Blah blah blah. Shit like that gets ingrained in your head when you never have a mom to counter all the dad bullshit."
She ran a hand through her hair and made a face, slightly embarrassed. "Uhh... Didn't mean to dump all that on you."
He scratched the back of his neck again. "It's okay. It's not really your fault. And um. The whole lying thing. When I said it kept you guessing... I meant that it was like playing hard-to-get, and it wasn't supposed to make you look stupid. I wanted to be figured out, I guess. Or something. I don't even know. I ran out of options so I just jumped for something. Desperate measures for desperate times. But that excuse sucks so it doesn't count."
"Apparently, it's a bad idea when both people are playing hard-to-get. I'll keep this in mind for next time." There was no reason for Kay to still be holding his hand and yet she was, she smiled a little and looked up at the dormitories building. A few lights were still on here and there but for the most part everyone was probably asleep. "So..."
"So... what?" Raz asked, starting to feel cold and realizing that his jacket was useless as it was wet. Dammit. She ruined his chivalric attempts. Yes. Chivalric.
"I dunno. That was just a lot of talking and I think I ran out of things to say that aren't 'you're pretty'." She bumped him with her shoulder, "...you're pretty."
"... is that really the right adjective?" he asked, his face twisted into something either confused or disgusted.
She stopped at the stairs, not really wanting to go in (even if she knew she would have to eventually), "Like oh my god Razzy you are totally hot. Oh my god! I wish I could just stay in bed with you all day and snuggle!"
She snorted at her own dumb joke. "At least I didn't say 'you got a purdy mouth'."
"... I guess you can say 'pretty' as long as it's not that... whatever that was... again."
He looked down at his clothes. Yup. Still wet. "Augh. Hot shower is definitely on that priority list right now. My hair is already starting to get frizzy. Yay."
She rolled her eyes, "You just can't stand looking slightly less attractive than usual, can you? I mean, whatever will Jack say if you go back to the dorm with frizzy hair? Scandalous!" Kay couldn't see the frizz, then again, she wasn't looking that hard.
"You're gonna be hot, frizzy hair or not." Man, she really needed to stop being so nice to him. She'd have to start sharpening her insults on someone new now.
"If you say so," he answered, still trying to get some of the water out of his hair anyway.
"Take a shower, go make yourself pretty for the morning. I'm sure I'll thank you for it later." She made her way up the steps and opened the door to the dormitories, "I should probably get back. God forbid I let Shi Rong have a decent night's sleep."
"Haha, right. Night," he said, giving a stupid little wave (yeah, he's a dork).
"I'll uhh... See you tomorrow. ...or something. Alright? Maybe next time I can push you into a pool. It'll be our thing. First it was the pond, then it was the sprinklers. Maybe I just like getting you wet..." She was going to pretend that didn't come out sounding dirty.
Kay gave him a wave and headed back off to her dorm. She wasn't sure whether to throw something at Shi Rong or thank her.
Raz felt the same way -- he didn't know whether to hate Shi Rong or thank her. Eh. Not to be thought about at the moment. He wasn't staying like this to get hyperthermia (and also his hair god WHY the hair, always the innocent victim).

"And you're not?" he asked. "You don't see me whining about how frustrating it is for - " Mouth. Brain. "Sorry. Just, uh. Sayin'."
She could tell where that sentence had been going, "Sorry about that. Me, I mean. Uhh... I'm not all that great at emoting. Blame dad. You can probably blame him for the bouts of anger too. Never really taught me how to express myself through words, you know? 'You get mad, you punch something.' 'Never let them see you cry, kid.' 'Never let your guard down.' Blah blah blah. Shit like that gets ingrained in your head when you never have a mom to counter all the dad bullshit."
She ran a hand through her hair and made a face, slightly embarrassed. "Uhh... Didn't mean to dump all that on you."
He scratched the back of his neck again. "It's okay. It's not really your fault. And um. The whole lying thing. When I said it kept you guessing... I meant that it was like playing hard-to-get, and it wasn't supposed to make you look stupid. I wanted to be figured out, I guess. Or something. I don't even know. I ran out of options so I just jumped for something. Desperate measures for desperate times. But that excuse sucks so it doesn't count."
"Apparently, it's a bad idea when both people are playing hard-to-get. I'll keep this in mind for next time." There was no reason for Kay to still be holding his hand and yet she was, she smiled a little and looked up at the dormitories building. A few lights were still on here and there but for the most part everyone was probably asleep. "So..."
"So... what?" Raz asked, starting to feel cold and realizing that his jacket was useless as it was wet. Dammit. She ruined his chivalric attempts. Yes. Chivalric.
"I dunno. That was just a lot of talking and I think I ran out of things to say that aren't 'you're pretty'." She bumped him with her shoulder, "...you're pretty."
"... is that really the right adjective?" he asked, his face twisted into something either confused or disgusted.
She stopped at the stairs, not really wanting to go in (even if she knew she would have to eventually), "Like oh my god Razzy you are totally hot. Oh my god! I wish I could just stay in bed with you all day and snuggle!"
She snorted at her own dumb joke. "At least I didn't say 'you got a purdy mouth'."
"... I guess you can say 'pretty' as long as it's not that... whatever that was... again."
He looked down at his clothes. Yup. Still wet. "Augh. Hot shower is definitely on that priority list right now. My hair is already starting to get frizzy. Yay."
She rolled her eyes, "You just can't stand looking slightly less attractive than usual, can you? I mean, whatever will Jack say if you go back to the dorm with frizzy hair? Scandalous!" Kay couldn't see the frizz, then again, she wasn't looking that hard.
"You're gonna be hot, frizzy hair or not." Man, she really needed to stop being so nice to him. She'd have to start sharpening her insults on someone new now.
"If you say so," he answered, still trying to get some of the water out of his hair anyway.
"Take a shower, go make yourself pretty for the morning. I'm sure I'll thank you for it later." She made her way up the steps and opened the door to the dormitories, "I should probably get back. God forbid I let Shi Rong have a decent night's sleep."
"Haha, right. Night," he said, giving a stupid little wave (yeah, he's a dork).
"I'll uhh... See you tomorrow. ...or something. Alright? Maybe next time I can push you into a pool. It'll be our thing. First it was the pond, then it was the sprinklers. Maybe I just like getting you wet..." She was going to pretend that didn't come out sounding dirty.
Kay gave him a wave and headed back off to her dorm. She wasn't sure whether to throw something at Shi Rong or thank her.
Raz felt the same way -- he didn't know whether to hate Shi Rong or thank her. Eh. Not to be thought about at the moment. He wasn't staying like this to get hyperthermia (and also his hair god WHY the hair, always the innocent victim).
