The girls chattered happily while their boyfriends sat sullenly on the couch, both their attentions tuned to the TV and the football game that was on. The younger girl glanced over and sighed heavily, her companion tracing her gaze and imitating the sound.
“Why do we even bother getting together? They aren’t going to want to talk to us. Not when the Saints have a chance to beat the Steelers.” Kagome sighed once more and Sango merely shook her head in disbelief.
“Ugh. Leave it to guys to make every gathering completely pointless.” Sango grimaced and motioned for her friend to follow her down the hallway. “I swear, Miroku doesn’t ever think about anything I want to be hearing about.”
“You mean Inuyasha thinks sometimes?” Kagome asked in mock shock. “You could’ve fooled me.”
The older girl stopped in front of a closed door at the end of the hallway. “Whatever, you know he does, it’s just nothing you care to know about I’m sure. Baseball stats are boring after all. Now, come on. I bought some clothes last week. I wanna know what you think about them.”
“Ugh. Lucky… I need to go shopping.” Kagome grumbled, motioning down at her feet. “These shoes are all wrong.”
“I’m sure they’re fine. Besides, you can’t be worse off than me.” Sango answered distractedly, staring into the depths of her closet in search of the clothing she had bought the week before, finally settling on pulling out a pair of jeans from the back. “Just look at my closet, not a thing to put on. Hm, I wonder how these jeans make me look from behind…”
Kagome giggled and Sango looked at her curiously.
“Things that never cross a man’s mind.”
Now Sango was laughing as she tossed her pair of pants on the bed, all thoughts of going through her considerable clothing collection now gone.
“Oh! I’ve got one. Let’s turn off the TV. Now can’t we just talk?” Sango grinned evilly as her friend snickered.
“Let’s lay here and cuddle ‘till we both drift off.” Kagome added quickly. “Why can’t they just want to hang around and do nothing? Why does it always have to be more than just innocently relaxing?”
Sango sighed in agreement. “Don’t they know that if we don’t make love, that’ll be just fine…?”
Kagome shrugged easily. “It’s just more things that never cross a man’s mind.”
“They just never care to think about what might be going through our minds. Have you heard some of the things they’ve said.” Sango wrinkled her nose in disgust. “That joke is too dirty.”
“Have you seen some of the things they expect us to eat?” Kagome snorted. “That steak is too thick. Ain’t no way in the world I’ll ever finish it.”
“Oh, and the way they drive!” Sango exclaimed. “This car is too fast! Not that they care.”
“Agreed. You know, Inuyasha once gave me a beer straight from the freezer one of the few times I agreed to watch a game with him. My hand froze to the can! And he said that meant it was perfect!” Kagome squealed in indignation. “He even dared to say I didn’t understand. What’s there not to understand? This beer is too cold, and you know what? Watching all this football is sure getting old.”
“Yeah well, I have to go fishing with Miroku tomorrow.” Sango shot back. “I never thought I would say this but… I wish I was working this weekend, not on the lake reelin’ my line...”
“Fuck, just more things that never cross a man’s mind.”
“And don’t even bother going to bars with them.” Sango muttered bitterly. “They’ll just stare at all the whores and ignore you. Can’t he see that her lips are too red, her skirt is too tight, her legs are too long, and her heels are too high?”
“Well, I’ll tell you what they don’t think when it comes to us.” Kagome plopped down on the bed. “Boy, she looks like the marrying kind…”
They looked at each other and rolled their eyes.
“Things that never cross a man’s mind.”
Sango sank down next to her friend. “Too bad they don’t think like us some times. Man, I would pay to see them have to deal with the random thoughts that go through our brains. Like have to worry about your period. Couldn’t you just see it? Inuyasha bending curled up on the couch not wanting to go anywhere, thinking: I feel a little bloated, think I’m fixing to start.”
Kagome couldn’t hold back her laughter. “Or taking them out to the movies and making them see what we want to see only to having them complain: That movie was good except for the violent parts.”
“You know what? I would kill my own mother to hear Miroku say something like… Brad Pitt is sexy. Why did he change his hair? I knew him and Jenny never had a prayer. You know they read the tabloids. I swear, sometimes I think they’re bigger gossips than we are.” Both girls nodded eagerly.
“It must be nice to be able to walk into a room and not think something along the lines of ‘These curtains clash with the carpet. This color scheme is a crime.’” Kagome wondered aloud.
“Must be. They seem to get along fine for the most part.” Sango shrugged. “I guess they can live without all these things that never cross a man’s mind.”
“….Lucky bastards…”
