Three words: water balloon war!]
Ryutaro was a bit busy for the past week and he couldn't get the image of the panicked man from the other night out of his mind. He still felt so guilty, sneaking up on the man, scaring the living hell out of him...not to mention almost witnessing a hit and run. The pictures he had taken of him came out underdeveloped, making Ryutaro feel so much worse since he had scared the man for no apparent reason.
A soft sigh escaped his lips as he plopped down onto his couch, flipping open his cell phone and staring at his small list of contacts. He was debating whether or not to give seek a call and see if he was doing alright. He hoped the other wasn't still shaken up about the other night. Who knows. He scrolled down until he hit the other's number and bit his lip, pressing 'Call'. He held the phone up to his ear, the loud ringing filling his ears.
A shriek filled the air as seek darted after his mother, chasing her around for fun. Well, she'd woke him up from his nap with the cold hose water randomly, which actually wasn't uncommon in his house. "I'm going to get you for that!" He laughed, sending a jet of water in her direction before he heard the phone start to ring. "I'll get it!" he cheerily called out, turning the hose off as he darted for the back porch.
He smiled, reaching into the kitchen indo for the phone and answered. "Moshi-moshi. Shiramizu residence!" he said, sounding pretty cheery. He looked back over his shoulder, noticing his mother had the hose again, perking his brows up. Must hide! He wiggled his way into the window and landed on his ass on the floor, quickly shutting the window while holding the phone to his ear as the water hit the window.
Ryutaro stiffed, sitting up as he heard the familiar voice answer the phone but it was sounding weird...as if he was really happy at the moment. Maybe...it was definitely an opposite of the tone from the other night. He rose his eyebrow as he heard movement in the background, as if seek was running around or something. What the hell was he doing?
"seek...?" He said into the phone before running his tongue over his semi-dry lips before continuing. "It's..." Shit. Did he tell the other man his real name? He tried to remember. Of course not. "It's Aki, I wanted to call to see if you were alright." He said, tugging on the sleeve of his shirt. "Uh, if you're busy, that's alright, I didn't mean to disturb you~"
"Akikun? Ah, so glad to hear from you, and no I'm not busy. I was being chased around by my mom." He started to snicker, heading for the laundry room to go change into a plain tee and swim trunks, since he knew his 'battle' was long from over. "You're not disturbing me. I'm very glad you have called though." Beaming, he start to work removing the damp clothing and tossed them into the washer. "How are you Akikun?"
Pulling the trunks on and grabbing a tee-shirt, he headed upstairs to his room after motioning to his mother he'd be a minute. No need to ruin his new piercings and he wanted his contacts in. "It's my day off actually, so I'm just relaxing and enjoying it." Laughing lightly, he plopped on his bed, going for his jewelry box.
Ryutaro rose an eyebrow as he heard the other. "Your mother is chasing you?" He asked, confused. seek was laughing about it? The last time he checked, getting chased by your mother was a bad thing. At least to Ryutaro, whenever he got chased around, it was when he did something very bad and pissed his mother off, chasing him so she could beat the living shit out of him. He shuddered at the thought before he returned to the phone. seek was glad he called?
"Ah, you sound like you're doing alright." He commented, hearing the laughter. It was definitely a relief that the other didn't hold a grudge on him. "That's good that you're getting a break." He nodded. Ryutaro sucked so much when it came to the phone, he could never find the right things to say nor what to talk about.
"She got me with the hose. It's cold. Our water is either really cold or really hot. Unfortunately the hose water is freezing." Laughing gently, he put the phone between his shoulder and ear, removing his eyebrow, bridge and nose piercings. He quickly changed his lip and labret ones, perking a brow at the other. Why, was it bad to have fun? Oh well, I supposed she could be after me with a frying pan. "My mom and I are really close, so that's kind of normal."
Smiling lightly, he got up, going over to his closet to look for some balloons. "Yes, I'm fine. Things have been easier. Oh, and they caught those punks who tried to hit me. I read it in the paper the next day, and the police called." Victory.. somehow. Tilting his head, he noticed how unsocial the man seemed, making a pout. "Would you like to come over? I could make dinner for you if you want to come hang out a while."
Ryutaro was so confused. Chasing him around with a hose? That seemed like something brother or sisters would do...to mess around with each other or so Ryutaro guessed. There was never a time when he had 'fun' with his parents and when they tried to do family things, it usually failed, ending up in heated fights. Ryutaro felt a pang of jealousy as he heard seek was really close to his mom. He wondered if he would be any different if his parents treated him as an actual son...who knows.
"Ahh, I see. I'm really glad they caught them, serves them right!" He chuckled lightly, feeling a bit better that the man received justice. He bit his lip at the offer, thinking. Well, it wouldn't hurt to go out and do something...try to get the man more and see what his problem really is. Maybe you can see what other medications he takes... He thought to himself, smirking. "Oh, I would love to, thank you~" He agreed cheerfully.
"Great! Ah, and I found balloons! We could have a water balloon fight, and maybe you can get some pictures." He remembered the other man had a camera and thought maybe that'd be a good thing as well. "Ah, but what kinds of food do you like? I can make whatever you want since you would be our guest." Taking the bag full of balloons, seek picked up and emptied a container to put them in once he got to fill them.
Wandering downstairs, he searched through the cabinets, seeing that they needed to pick up a few things and started to jot down notes on his mother's PDA of what they needed. "I can cook just about anything, so it's really up to you." He felt pretty good to be having a guest come over. It'd been a few months since one of seek's friends came over.
Ryutaro was stunned by the fact of a water balloon fight. He had never had one in his life but he had seen some on TV and in movies. The people involved looked like they were having fun and getting soaked. Hmmm. He wasn't sure if seek meant it literally or something but if his mother was chasing him with a hose, it was probably serious. Yet the fact of water and his camera cringed. He could imagine his camera sparking and exploding, all his hard work smashed into pieces. Seeing his lens getting damaged was bad enough.
"Uh, well..." He didn't want to be a hassle to the other man and he wasn't too picky. "Surprise me." He said with a smile. "Really, I'm not picky at all, so, anything would be nice." He added before standing up, stretching.
"All right then. I'll try to do something special, and make sure it's good. Are you allergic to anything though? I'd really hate to make that mistake again with a person." He laughed nervously, punching in characters to the PDA with the little 'pen' and heard his mother spray the kitchen window. "It's good you're not picky though." Picky was too hard to cook for.
seek moved over to the fridge, holding the PDA, putting in more kanji as he noted what they lacked. It was a good chance to get his mother out of the house and keep her away from the hose. Tilting his head, he walked outside, offering her the small device before she looked over it and smiled, pecking him on the cheek before going into the house. "Oh, and I'm on 101 Tanpopo. Would you like me to pick you up? Or, do you have a car?"
Ryutaro just hoped that seek would not cook anything with eyes. He hated when his food stared back at him. It would haunt him for weeks and he would have nightmares. Egh. He was such a kid sometimes, but, seriously, he wondered who would eat eyeballs. Bleh. "I don't think I'm allergic to anything, I guess we will just need to find out." He chuckled lightly yet he would hate to eat something and have his throat close up. Or have red hives appear all over his skin. That would be torture.
"101 Tanpopo? I know where that is, I have a car so it's nothing to worry about. What time did you want me to come over?" He asked, walking into his bedroom. If they were going to have the alleged 'water balloon fight', Ryutaro figured he should dress in something that wasn't part of a billion layers.
"Well, that's good. Last time the person got really sick and swelled. I don't need a repeat in history. My poor mother felt so terrible for weeks." Repeats in history were something seek tried to avoid at all possible costs, since that wouldn't have resulted good if things repeated. He didn't need to nearly over dose on the Paxil again.
"Oh, ok. You can come over when you're ready. Mom's going to go shop for some things we need, and I'm just going to fill balloons and think over what to make. It might take me a bit, since I spend so much time cooking. I'll try to resist doing something I've not attempted before, for your sake." He laughed lightly, going to sit on the porch with the bag of balloons and the container. "I'll see you soon then. Good-bye Akikun." Hanging up, he got to work on making balloons.
"Awh...well, I'm sure that I shouldn't be allergic to anything so you and your mother have nothing to worry about." Ryutaro said, wondering what the other man's mother was like...it would be nice to meet someone who loved their child very much, giving him a totally different view on parents. Yet, he didn't want jealousy to take over him. Ryutaro's eyes widened slightly as seek was pretty serious about the water balloon fight. Be prepared. He picked out a pair of black pants and a long sleeved t-shirt.
"Alright, I should be over there shortly. Thanks a lot for inviting me, see you then, seek." He said before hanging up the phone, letting out a sigh. It was time to have a bit of fun, whatever they called it. He changed his clothing, feeling much cooler than he did before. He grabbed his camera, debating whether or not to bring it yet the other was probably expecting it...He hoped for the best and put it around his neck before grabbing his car keys, making it out of the house.
seek screamed wildly as his mother grabbed the hose from him and soaked him. He flailed, making a dart for the front of the house to hide from her. 'Mom!" he whined, before listening to her giggle and return into the house. Pouting, he wandered back to the porch and started to fill the balloons, setting each of the handfuls into the plastic container. He liked having all sorts of rainbow coloured balloons, and knew he could find them easier if they were all different.
Moving to get comfortable, seek just hummed a bit as he filled things up, debating on what to make Ryutaro. I could make a pizza...Or, traditional? Hmm, would rather not. Pouting, he instead changed his mind to all the sweets he could do instead for after.
Ryutaro got into his car and started it up, pulling out of the driveway and driving towards Tanpopo. He felt bad for going over someone's house, someone he had lied to. Oh well, it was for his own good, maybe when the time came, he would tell him his real name. Then he wouldn't want to talk to you anymore. He sighed, aggravated at himself as he drove closer to Tanpopo. He wondered if it was the medication that made seek happy...knowing his luck, his mood would drastically change. Ryutaro never known what to do with someone else that was just as depressed as him.
He finally found 101 Tanpopo and pulled into the driveway. He stared at the house for several moments before turning off the car and getting out. He brushed himself off before walking up to the front door, ringing the doorbell.
seek bounced up when the other man arrived, going back into the house to go to the front door. Opening it, seek greeted the other with a big smile. "Akikun! I'm glad you're here! Come in, come in." He moved out of the way and motioned for the man to enter, hearing his mother coming downstairs to get the door. "I got it mom. It's Akikun." He watched her walk into the room ready to leave, seeing her bow.
"Hello, Aki. Nice to meet you." seek's mother was sweet, bowing to the other politely as he waited for the other to come in before closing the door. "But, you have to excuse me. I must go shopping." She moved to leave, giving seek a kiss on the cheek. "Be safe," he murmured, pecking her back before turning his eyes back to Ryutaro.
Once seek opened the door, Ryutaro's lips curved into a warm smile, happy to see the other was happy and smiled. "Ahh, thank you. It's nice to see you, seek." He said before heading inside to the comfy home, taking off his shoes. His eyes looked over to see seek's mother, his eyes lighting up. She looked so sweet and loving, Ryutaro was already jealous. He cringed on the inside as she said the fake name, feeling even worse that he was all a bunch of lies.
He returned the bow. "Ah, thank you. It's very nice to meet you too. Thank you for letting me visit." He replied politely as he moved over to seek, watching his mother leave the house. "She looks very sweet." He nodded after she left. "You're lucky~" He added with a small smile.
"She is," he whispered after she left, shutting the door. "She raised me by herself. It's not been easy for her. She's very strong though, and.. very silly. I get many traits form her." Smiling, somewhat sad in it, he looked at the other an laughed gently. "I was thinking I could make a pizza, but dough takes forever. I can't figure out much else. Anything you favour?"
Motioning for the other man to follow him to the back porch. He'd completely forgotten about the Paxil bottle on one of the kitchen counters. He rubbed his eyes, careful of the contacts in them and motioned for the man behind him to sit down on one of the porch chairs. "Hn, I guess I am lucky. My mother... well, she's very tolerable. Sometimes I wonder how she deals with me." He chuckled.
Ryutaro nodded as he listened to seek. He bet it was hard to raise a child without a father figure which is important to a child's development. I wonder how she dealt with all of his...problems. More extremely curious questions filled his mind yet it was interrupted when seek asked him a question. He bit his lip thinking. Part of him wanted to stay for dinner to get to know more detail but he was sure that the mother would be there to eat along with the two. He knew the guilt trip would come in and Ryutaro would feel even more bad for lying to him.
"Well, unfortunately, I can't stay for dinner, I have to work soon." He said with a mock frown. Lying even more, bad Ryutaro. "So, I suppose that's less of a hassle. I'm sorry, I would have told you earlier but, we can still hang out before I have to leave." He added quickly with a reassuring smile. He followed seek out to the back porch, sitting down in one of the porch chairs. "So, I remember you told me you stay here to take care of her...it doesn't seem like anything is wrong with her..." He said softly, gently probing.
He pouted but nodding in understanding. "That's alright Akikun. Work is just as important as play, so you should do your best at work." He kept a smile on his face though, knowing he'd at least get a while to hang out with the other man. Much better then just me and mom, though it's just as fun with only mom around.
"Ah, she's just worried about me. I'm afraid if she got too worried she'd get sick. We both get sick really easily though, so it's good to stay with her. Besides, there's no one else I'd rather live with." laughing gently, seek picked up a red water balloon, offering it out to Ryutaro and shivered. "The water is cold, but on such a warm day it should keep us cool. I'll go get us some towels, and you can lay your camera in the kitchen so it doesn't get wet."
"Ahh, I see. Well, I suppose that's good so the two of you wouldn't be lonely." Ryutaro replied. He couldn't imagine someone wanting to just live with their mother, by the middle of his teenage years, he was ready to get out of the house in no-time. He couldn't remember the last time his parents called, just to 'call' as if they were trying to be good parents. Finally, they just stopped the phone calls, he liked it better that way.
Ryutaro rose an eyebrow as he was handed the red water balloon, his skin developing goosebumps from the cold water. He stared down at it, not sure what to do with it. "Uhh..." But before he could say anything, seek was gone. While holding the water balloon, he walked into the kitchen and took off his camera, setting it down on the counter. He was about to turn around before his eye caught a glance at the pill bottle. Just a peek... He set the water balloon down and grabbed his camera, taking pictures of the bottle. Paxil? Yet, he flinched as the balloon rolled off of the camera and onto the floor, breaking. "Gah!"
seek perked a brow form the bathroom after he'd gotten into there room and heard the balloon burst. Laughing, he picked up a few towels and looks through the cabinets for band-aids.
"Akikun, you're supposed to break those outside!" he called out excitedly, ready for a game with the balloons.
Exiting the bathroom with a mini first aid kit, he noticed the water on the floor and immediately went to clean it. "Well, at least it's not carpeting," he said, putting everything down to get a used towel from the laundry room, not even noticing the other had the camera on.
"Ah, I'm sorry about that." He said as he bowed, quickly taking the camera off and setting it back down on the counter. His eyes widened slightly at the sight of the first-aid kit. Was this a...dangerous game? "We're not going to get hurt, are we?" Not that I mind pain or anything... He would hate to be the reason why seek fell and hurt himself really bad. Second time, nice job. He hoped not. He bit his lip hard as seek left to go get another towel, his eyes looking back at the medication.
He quickly turned to seek once he came back. "I, uh...I don't really know the rules and regulations to a...water balloon fight." He said, his cheeks turning light pink. Oh shit. Ryutaro's foundation didn't happen to be waterproof...What if it hits my face? He swallowed hard as he continued to watch seek.
"That's ok," he said, bending down to dry up the floor. "I need to mop tomorrow anyway. You might have just saved me a tiny bit of work." Optimistic view of something he had to do. seek just beamed and wiped it all up, laughing gently. "Ah, I hope not. Sometimes things can happen though. Innocent games sometimes lead to bad situations. I'm always prepared though!"
He laughed, holding the towel as he stood again, beaming at Ryutaro. "Well, we could play with rules, but the objective is to get soaked and have fun. Chase each other around if you're trying to get one. And, if we run out of balloons there's always more I can find."
Knowing Ryutaro's luck, he was going to slip and crack his head. He was a tad bit anxious of the childish game. Oh, lighten up, Ryutaro. Have some fun. Fun was a definitely different definition in his mind. Fun was developing photos of other people's stuff. Like seek's medication. Heh.
"Hm, well, I suppose playing without rules is better. Who wants to follow rules anyways?" He asked with a smirk before running his fingers through his hair. "But, I understand." He was going to look like a total freak running around with water balloons in his head. "Let the games begin?" He said, as he began to walk outside to the container full of the water balloons.
"Exactly!" seek felt beyond chirpy and highly excited as he quickly threw the towel in the laundry room, bouncing out of the house with a grin, dopey grin on his face. "Oh, I haven't done this in a while. This will feel nice. Cold, but nice." Laughing, he picked up the container after letting Ryutaro grab a few balloons and wet to set it in the yard.
Ryutaro leaned down and picked up a few of the water-filled balloons, taking much as his arms could handle without being clumsy and dropping them. "In all honesty, this is the first time I have done this..." He said as he looked down at the balloons. Was he supposed to throw them at seek now or...? He looked up with a curious and confused expression on his face, his eyes averting over to seek.
Seeing the other with an armful, seek just started to laugh at him as he put the container down and picked up two balloons. "That's too many, Akikun. You don't want to burst them all so fast, do you?" He could tell the other was a first timer, even if he hadn't of mentioned the fact. "You get a couple at a time, chuck them, then go for more."
Ryutaro blushed with embarrassment as he heard the other and looked back down helplessly at his armful of balloons. "Ah, o-okay." He said before walking over to the container and putting them back. He felt like such an amateur idiot. He grabbed two, just like the other man and returned back to his spot, looking at seek. "So uh..." Chuck it, stupid. Ryutaro took one of the balloons and bit his lip, hesitating it for a moment before throwing it, watching it pathetically land a few feet away from seek. "..."
Watching the balloon splatter, seek couldn't help but laugh even more at the other man. "You have to throw them hard." Just for emphasis, seek threw one right at the other man's belly, then didn't watch to see it splatter. He only smirked, picked up another balloon and started running.
Well, obviously. Before Ryutaro could think anymore, the balloon that seek thrown hit him against his stomach, splattering all over his clothes. "Gah!" He cried out, flinching, causing to drop the other water balloon he had in his hand, watching to splatter on his shoes. seek wasn't kidding when he said the water was cold, it was freezing. "I'll get you!" He yelled before running back to the container, grabbing a couple more and chased after seek, throwing one, aiming towards his back.
Shirking, seek felt one of the balloons smack in him the back and burst, feeling the cold water trickled down his ass. "Cold butt! Cold butt!" he yelled, flailing before stopping to chuck one at Ryutaro's legs. "You might balloon me, but you can't catch me!" He did an evil laugh and darted away after chucking the next, going back to grab more.
Ryutaro laughed hard as he watched seek's reaction. Well, okay, maybe he could get used to this fairly quickly. Ryutaro yelled out as the balloon hit his leg, soaking his pants, the water running down his leg. "Ahah! I highly doubt that!" He called out before chasing after seek before chucking the water balloon at seek's shoulder, quickly darting away to gather more.
Nearly tripping over himself, seek grabbed a few more of the balloons, darting off as quickly at he could. He tossed one near Ryutaro's hip, then went for the other man's shoulder, since he didn't want to smack him in the throat or face. He slipped though, landing hard, but quickly got up after his other balloon exploded on him. "Cold in the dark place!" He shrieked and flailed as he ran.
More goosebumps covered Ryutaro's skin as he felt the water balloons hit him. He shuddered, feeling the water seep near his crotch. "Cold!" He squeaked to himself before grabbing a few and chasing seek, wincing as he slipped. He opened his mouth to ask if he was okay but seek was up in a split second. Ryutaro laughed loudly as he threw one at the other's legs. He threw the second one, aiming for his back but instead hit him in the back of the head. "Gah! Sorry!!"
seek squawked when he was hit in the back of the head, flailed more, then fell over. "Oh no! You shot me!" he feigned death, peeking out an eye at Ryutaro, unable to hold in his giggles before rolling on to his side. "You killed the seek monster! I congratulate you with..." darting for the container, he grabbed four balloons at the other. "This! Mwahahaha!"
For a split second, Ryutaro thought he seriously hurt him. His eyes widened before he heard the other. Calm down, Ryutaro, sheesh. He smirked, rolling his eyes playfully. "Exactly, because I'm that good." He laughed before the other darted up and started to throw water balloons at him. "Ah!" He laughed, running away from the balloons. "I'm not even armed! Cheater!" He stuck out his tongue playfully, trying to dodge the balloons, yet failing.
Laughing, seek backed away after grabbing a few more, bouncing to the side out the house. for some reason he just felt like a bunny rabbit. Getting an odd look from a neighbour, he tilted his head, then went to watch Ryutaro. "I'll get you more Akikun! Do not doubt my amazingness!"
"We'll see about that, seek!" Ryutaro replied as he finally darted over to the container, grabbing a few balloons. He was distracted for a second, seeing the next-door neighbor giving the two a weird look. His cheeks only turned a deeper shade of pink, already colored from the coldness of the water. With a boyish smile on his face, he went to the other side of the house, slowly creeping around to try and sneak up on seek.
He wasn't even about to dare to try and get on the roof as warm as it had been [to drop the balloons on Ryutaro]. He didn't want his feet to burn. Peeking his head out, he saw the area was clear and wiggled his nose. Oh, sneaky. I like. Stifling a giggle, he leaned on the side of the house, pretending to keep looking. It was kind of fun, but he didn't want to spoil Ryutaro's fun. I need to invite Akikun over more.
Ryutaro peeked around the corner, seeing seek's back. Smirking to himself, he slowly began to tiptoe closer to him before chucking two of the water balloons at seek. "Ahah! Gotcha~" He laughed before running off again, sticking out his tongue. It seemed like Ryutaro's main reason of coming over was out of his mind and he was too busy having fun with the other man.
seek jumped when the other threw the balloons, quickly turning around to chuck the ones in his own hands at the other man. "Come back!" He gave chase, running up quickly behind Ryutaro while laughing. "You're a snake in the grass! Sneaky, sneaky!" He didn't know how long had passed, but his mother was already returning. He stopped, looking at the car before waddling over like a penguin.
Ryutaro jumped up as the balloons hit him, his wet clothing clinging to his body as he glanced behind his shoulder at the other. "Of course I am, didn't you know?" He said before he saw seek stopping. He slowed down, looking at the driveway, seeing the other car. Ahh, his mother. Ryutaro chuckled at the other's movements before following him to the driveway, water dripping from his clothing.
"Oh, treats!" seek jumped forward and laid across the hood of the car, making grabbing hands for the bag of candies his mother ad bought for the two. "Takuma! I'd swear you were seven instead of twenty-seven!" He put on a big cheesy grin, getting a sigh from her. "Well, I can't help it. Sugar and mommy are a good combination." Taking the bag, he gave her a big kiss on the cheek before helping her with the grocery bags, going in form the back of course. "Come on, Akikun! Snacks!"
Twenty-seven?! Ryutaro was shocked that the man was four years older than him and acted so much younger than himself. He supposed it was nice to have someone to act like a child with, since Ryutaro wasn't able to back then. Ryutaro's lips curved into an envious smile as he watched seek and his mother. His parents were always sketchy about treats, his father always telling him that the dentist would pull out all of his teeth if he ate sweets. "Thank you very much." He said to his mother before following seek into the house.
He beamed, helping his mother put things away as she nodded. "Are you enjoying your time in our home, Akisan?" She figured both of them did though, since they were both soaking and chasing each other when she pulled up. seek just grinned, leaving Ryutaro to chat while he put some things away.
You're such a bad person, Ryutaro, lying to someone's mother. Ryutaro ignored his conscience, his eyes glancing over at his camera before his eyes averted back to seek's mother. "Ahh, of course." He nodded. "Thanks a lot for having me over, I appreciate it." He replied politely with a warm smile. Such a faker.
"Yes, we're having tons of fun. I'm so glad he's over." seek smiled and watched his mother pour them both a glass of soda. It was mainly to get them out of the kitchen while they dripped.
"Go sit on the porch, both of you, and enjoy your treats."
seek couldn't object and finished what he was doing, taking the treat bags and the sodas. "Hope you don't mind caffeine. Not that I need it." Snickering, he thanked her and headed out to the porch.
Ryutaro ran his wet hands through his hair as he walked out to the porch, getting used to the wet and coldness from earlier. He chuckled lightly and took his head. "No, caffeine is good." He smiled before taking the glass of soda, taking a sip. He sat down on the porch and let out a small sigh. "Do you do those sort of things often?" He asked seek, tilting his head to the side.
"Yes, I have friends over pretty often. Well, it won't be as often as it used to, since we moved here." He sat down as well, offering Ryutaro the bag of chocolate candies before he would take on himself. "What time do you have to go to work?" he tilted his head, taking a few mouthfuls of his own drink and watched the sky. "It's a nice day, too."
Ryutaro took a few of the candies, thanking him quietly before popping them into his mouth, his mouth watering with chocolate-y goodness. "Ahh, I see. I don't have that much people over." More like none. Ryutaro could never come up creative social ideas. The guilt trip was coming back from round two as Ryutaro spoke. "Six." He lied before taking a sip of his drink, looking up at the sky.
"Sounds about what time it nearly is." Pouting, seek stood up and popped his head into the window, checking the time. "Yea, it's about twenty until six. Ah well, you can come over again so we can have more fun together, right?" Taking another sip from the soda, seek sat back down and took a candy for himself. "I hope you enjoy work, and take some candies with you, just incase your day gets sour."
"Egh, I have to go back home and change too..." He trailed off before giving seek a reassuring nod. "Of course, we'll hang out again soon." He replied with a warm smile before taking a few candies for later. "Heh, thanks. Thanks a lot for inviting me over, I had a blast." Ryutaro said before he stand up, not forgetting to take his camera.
Getting up, seek bowed to the other, smiling even more at him. "Sure, just give me a call, or stop by here or Tanpopo's. I work second shift most nights." It was nice to have Ryutaro over, and the man to him seemed pretty nice. He picked up the glasses and bag, laughing gently. "It was nice to have your company. Thank you for coming, Akikun."
Ryutaro smiled, storing the information in his mind. Second shift. "I'll make sure to remember, seek. You're very welcome~ I'll see you later for sure." He said before giving him a bow and retreating back to the house to get his camera, holding it tightly. He bid farewell to seek's mother before leaving the house and unlocking his car, getting in quickly. Although the 'normal' part of him felt bad for lying, he wanted to get to know so much more about seek, knowing there wasn't just a childish side to him.

Ryutaro was a bit busy for the past week and he couldn't get the image of the panicked man from the other night out of his mind. He still felt so guilty, sneaking up on the man, scaring the living hell out of him...not to mention almost witnessing a hit and run. The pictures he had taken of him came out underdeveloped, making Ryutaro feel so much worse since he had scared the man for no apparent reason.
A soft sigh escaped his lips as he plopped down onto his couch, flipping open his cell phone and staring at his small list of contacts. He was debating whether or not to give seek a call and see if he was doing alright. He hoped the other wasn't still shaken up about the other night. Who knows. He scrolled down until he hit the other's number and bit his lip, pressing 'Call'. He held the phone up to his ear, the loud ringing filling his ears.
A shriek filled the air as seek darted after his mother, chasing her around for fun. Well, she'd woke him up from his nap with the cold hose water randomly, which actually wasn't uncommon in his house. "I'm going to get you for that!" He laughed, sending a jet of water in her direction before he heard the phone start to ring. "I'll get it!" he cheerily called out, turning the hose off as he darted for the back porch.
He smiled, reaching into the kitchen indo for the phone and answered. "Moshi-moshi. Shiramizu residence!" he said, sounding pretty cheery. He looked back over his shoulder, noticing his mother had the hose again, perking his brows up. Must hide! He wiggled his way into the window and landed on his ass on the floor, quickly shutting the window while holding the phone to his ear as the water hit the window.
Ryutaro stiffed, sitting up as he heard the familiar voice answer the phone but it was sounding weird...as if he was really happy at the moment. Maybe...it was definitely an opposite of the tone from the other night. He rose his eyebrow as he heard movement in the background, as if seek was running around or something. What the hell was he doing?
"seek...?" He said into the phone before running his tongue over his semi-dry lips before continuing. "It's..." Shit. Did he tell the other man his real name? He tried to remember. Of course not. "It's Aki, I wanted to call to see if you were alright." He said, tugging on the sleeve of his shirt. "Uh, if you're busy, that's alright, I didn't mean to disturb you~"
"Akikun? Ah, so glad to hear from you, and no I'm not busy. I was being chased around by my mom." He started to snicker, heading for the laundry room to go change into a plain tee and swim trunks, since he knew his 'battle' was long from over. "You're not disturbing me. I'm very glad you have called though." Beaming, he start to work removing the damp clothing and tossed them into the washer. "How are you Akikun?"
Pulling the trunks on and grabbing a tee-shirt, he headed upstairs to his room after motioning to his mother he'd be a minute. No need to ruin his new piercings and he wanted his contacts in. "It's my day off actually, so I'm just relaxing and enjoying it." Laughing lightly, he plopped on his bed, going for his jewelry box.
Ryutaro rose an eyebrow as he heard the other. "Your mother is chasing you?" He asked, confused. seek was laughing about it? The last time he checked, getting chased by your mother was a bad thing. At least to Ryutaro, whenever he got chased around, it was when he did something very bad and pissed his mother off, chasing him so she could beat the living shit out of him. He shuddered at the thought before he returned to the phone. seek was glad he called?
"Ah, you sound like you're doing alright." He commented, hearing the laughter. It was definitely a relief that the other didn't hold a grudge on him. "That's good that you're getting a break." He nodded. Ryutaro sucked so much when it came to the phone, he could never find the right things to say nor what to talk about.
"She got me with the hose. It's cold. Our water is either really cold or really hot. Unfortunately the hose water is freezing." Laughing gently, he put the phone between his shoulder and ear, removing his eyebrow, bridge and nose piercings. He quickly changed his lip and labret ones, perking a brow at the other. Why, was it bad to have fun? Oh well, I supposed she could be after me with a frying pan. "My mom and I are really close, so that's kind of normal."
Smiling lightly, he got up, going over to his closet to look for some balloons. "Yes, I'm fine. Things have been easier. Oh, and they caught those punks who tried to hit me. I read it in the paper the next day, and the police called." Victory.. somehow. Tilting his head, he noticed how unsocial the man seemed, making a pout. "Would you like to come over? I could make dinner for you if you want to come hang out a while."
Ryutaro was so confused. Chasing him around with a hose? That seemed like something brother or sisters would do...to mess around with each other or so Ryutaro guessed. There was never a time when he had 'fun' with his parents and when they tried to do family things, it usually failed, ending up in heated fights. Ryutaro felt a pang of jealousy as he heard seek was really close to his mom. He wondered if he would be any different if his parents treated him as an actual son...who knows.
"Ahh, I see. I'm really glad they caught them, serves them right!" He chuckled lightly, feeling a bit better that the man received justice. He bit his lip at the offer, thinking. Well, it wouldn't hurt to go out and do something...try to get the man more and see what his problem really is. Maybe you can see what other medications he takes... He thought to himself, smirking. "Oh, I would love to, thank you~" He agreed cheerfully.
"Great! Ah, and I found balloons! We could have a water balloon fight, and maybe you can get some pictures." He remembered the other man had a camera and thought maybe that'd be a good thing as well. "Ah, but what kinds of food do you like? I can make whatever you want since you would be our guest." Taking the bag full of balloons, seek picked up and emptied a container to put them in once he got to fill them.
Wandering downstairs, he searched through the cabinets, seeing that they needed to pick up a few things and started to jot down notes on his mother's PDA of what they needed. "I can cook just about anything, so it's really up to you." He felt pretty good to be having a guest come over. It'd been a few months since one of seek's friends came over.
Ryutaro was stunned by the fact of a water balloon fight. He had never had one in his life but he had seen some on TV and in movies. The people involved looked like they were having fun and getting soaked. Hmmm. He wasn't sure if seek meant it literally or something but if his mother was chasing him with a hose, it was probably serious. Yet the fact of water and his camera cringed. He could imagine his camera sparking and exploding, all his hard work smashed into pieces. Seeing his lens getting damaged was bad enough.
"Uh, well..." He didn't want to be a hassle to the other man and he wasn't too picky. "Surprise me." He said with a smile. "Really, I'm not picky at all, so, anything would be nice." He added before standing up, stretching.
"All right then. I'll try to do something special, and make sure it's good. Are you allergic to anything though? I'd really hate to make that mistake again with a person." He laughed nervously, punching in characters to the PDA with the little 'pen' and heard his mother spray the kitchen window. "It's good you're not picky though." Picky was too hard to cook for.
seek moved over to the fridge, holding the PDA, putting in more kanji as he noted what they lacked. It was a good chance to get his mother out of the house and keep her away from the hose. Tilting his head, he walked outside, offering her the small device before she looked over it and smiled, pecking him on the cheek before going into the house. "Oh, and I'm on 101 Tanpopo. Would you like me to pick you up? Or, do you have a car?"
Ryutaro just hoped that seek would not cook anything with eyes. He hated when his food stared back at him. It would haunt him for weeks and he would have nightmares. Egh. He was such a kid sometimes, but, seriously, he wondered who would eat eyeballs. Bleh. "I don't think I'm allergic to anything, I guess we will just need to find out." He chuckled lightly yet he would hate to eat something and have his throat close up. Or have red hives appear all over his skin. That would be torture.
"101 Tanpopo? I know where that is, I have a car so it's nothing to worry about. What time did you want me to come over?" He asked, walking into his bedroom. If they were going to have the alleged 'water balloon fight', Ryutaro figured he should dress in something that wasn't part of a billion layers.
"Well, that's good. Last time the person got really sick and swelled. I don't need a repeat in history. My poor mother felt so terrible for weeks." Repeats in history were something seek tried to avoid at all possible costs, since that wouldn't have resulted good if things repeated. He didn't need to nearly over dose on the Paxil again.
"Oh, ok. You can come over when you're ready. Mom's going to go shop for some things we need, and I'm just going to fill balloons and think over what to make. It might take me a bit, since I spend so much time cooking. I'll try to resist doing something I've not attempted before, for your sake." He laughed lightly, going to sit on the porch with the bag of balloons and the container. "I'll see you soon then. Good-bye Akikun." Hanging up, he got to work on making balloons.
"Awh...well, I'm sure that I shouldn't be allergic to anything so you and your mother have nothing to worry about." Ryutaro said, wondering what the other man's mother was like...it would be nice to meet someone who loved their child very much, giving him a totally different view on parents. Yet, he didn't want jealousy to take over him. Ryutaro's eyes widened slightly as seek was pretty serious about the water balloon fight. Be prepared. He picked out a pair of black pants and a long sleeved t-shirt.
"Alright, I should be over there shortly. Thanks a lot for inviting me, see you then, seek." He said before hanging up the phone, letting out a sigh. It was time to have a bit of fun, whatever they called it. He changed his clothing, feeling much cooler than he did before. He grabbed his camera, debating whether or not to bring it yet the other was probably expecting it...He hoped for the best and put it around his neck before grabbing his car keys, making it out of the house.
seek screamed wildly as his mother grabbed the hose from him and soaked him. He flailed, making a dart for the front of the house to hide from her. 'Mom!" he whined, before listening to her giggle and return into the house. Pouting, he wandered back to the porch and started to fill the balloons, setting each of the handfuls into the plastic container. He liked having all sorts of rainbow coloured balloons, and knew he could find them easier if they were all different.
Moving to get comfortable, seek just hummed a bit as he filled things up, debating on what to make Ryutaro. I could make a pizza...Or, traditional? Hmm, would rather not. Pouting, he instead changed his mind to all the sweets he could do instead for after.
Ryutaro got into his car and started it up, pulling out of the driveway and driving towards Tanpopo. He felt bad for going over someone's house, someone he had lied to. Oh well, it was for his own good, maybe when the time came, he would tell him his real name. Then he wouldn't want to talk to you anymore. He sighed, aggravated at himself as he drove closer to Tanpopo. He wondered if it was the medication that made seek happy...knowing his luck, his mood would drastically change. Ryutaro never known what to do with someone else that was just as depressed as him.
He finally found 101 Tanpopo and pulled into the driveway. He stared at the house for several moments before turning off the car and getting out. He brushed himself off before walking up to the front door, ringing the doorbell.
seek bounced up when the other man arrived, going back into the house to go to the front door. Opening it, seek greeted the other with a big smile. "Akikun! I'm glad you're here! Come in, come in." He moved out of the way and motioned for the man to enter, hearing his mother coming downstairs to get the door. "I got it mom. It's Akikun." He watched her walk into the room ready to leave, seeing her bow.
"Hello, Aki. Nice to meet you." seek's mother was sweet, bowing to the other politely as he waited for the other to come in before closing the door. "But, you have to excuse me. I must go shopping." She moved to leave, giving seek a kiss on the cheek. "Be safe," he murmured, pecking her back before turning his eyes back to Ryutaro.
Once seek opened the door, Ryutaro's lips curved into a warm smile, happy to see the other was happy and smiled. "Ahh, thank you. It's nice to see you, seek." He said before heading inside to the comfy home, taking off his shoes. His eyes looked over to see seek's mother, his eyes lighting up. She looked so sweet and loving, Ryutaro was already jealous. He cringed on the inside as she said the fake name, feeling even worse that he was all a bunch of lies.
He returned the bow. "Ah, thank you. It's very nice to meet you too. Thank you for letting me visit." He replied politely as he moved over to seek, watching his mother leave the house. "She looks very sweet." He nodded after she left. "You're lucky~" He added with a small smile.
"She is," he whispered after she left, shutting the door. "She raised me by herself. It's not been easy for her. She's very strong though, and.. very silly. I get many traits form her." Smiling, somewhat sad in it, he looked at the other an laughed gently. "I was thinking I could make a pizza, but dough takes forever. I can't figure out much else. Anything you favour?"
Motioning for the other man to follow him to the back porch. He'd completely forgotten about the Paxil bottle on one of the kitchen counters. He rubbed his eyes, careful of the contacts in them and motioned for the man behind him to sit down on one of the porch chairs. "Hn, I guess I am lucky. My mother... well, she's very tolerable. Sometimes I wonder how she deals with me." He chuckled.
Ryutaro nodded as he listened to seek. He bet it was hard to raise a child without a father figure which is important to a child's development. I wonder how she dealt with all of his...problems. More extremely curious questions filled his mind yet it was interrupted when seek asked him a question. He bit his lip thinking. Part of him wanted to stay for dinner to get to know more detail but he was sure that the mother would be there to eat along with the two. He knew the guilt trip would come in and Ryutaro would feel even more bad for lying to him.
"Well, unfortunately, I can't stay for dinner, I have to work soon." He said with a mock frown. Lying even more, bad Ryutaro. "So, I suppose that's less of a hassle. I'm sorry, I would have told you earlier but, we can still hang out before I have to leave." He added quickly with a reassuring smile. He followed seek out to the back porch, sitting down in one of the porch chairs. "So, I remember you told me you stay here to take care of her...it doesn't seem like anything is wrong with her..." He said softly, gently probing.
He pouted but nodding in understanding. "That's alright Akikun. Work is just as important as play, so you should do your best at work." He kept a smile on his face though, knowing he'd at least get a while to hang out with the other man. Much better then just me and mom, though it's just as fun with only mom around.
"Ah, she's just worried about me. I'm afraid if she got too worried she'd get sick. We both get sick really easily though, so it's good to stay with her. Besides, there's no one else I'd rather live with." laughing gently, seek picked up a red water balloon, offering it out to Ryutaro and shivered. "The water is cold, but on such a warm day it should keep us cool. I'll go get us some towels, and you can lay your camera in the kitchen so it doesn't get wet."
"Ahh, I see. Well, I suppose that's good so the two of you wouldn't be lonely." Ryutaro replied. He couldn't imagine someone wanting to just live with their mother, by the middle of his teenage years, he was ready to get out of the house in no-time. He couldn't remember the last time his parents called, just to 'call' as if they were trying to be good parents. Finally, they just stopped the phone calls, he liked it better that way.
Ryutaro rose an eyebrow as he was handed the red water balloon, his skin developing goosebumps from the cold water. He stared down at it, not sure what to do with it. "Uhh..." But before he could say anything, seek was gone. While holding the water balloon, he walked into the kitchen and took off his camera, setting it down on the counter. He was about to turn around before his eye caught a glance at the pill bottle. Just a peek... He set the water balloon down and grabbed his camera, taking pictures of the bottle. Paxil? Yet, he flinched as the balloon rolled off of the camera and onto the floor, breaking. "Gah!"
seek perked a brow form the bathroom after he'd gotten into there room and heard the balloon burst. Laughing, he picked up a few towels and looks through the cabinets for band-aids.
"Akikun, you're supposed to break those outside!" he called out excitedly, ready for a game with the balloons.
Exiting the bathroom with a mini first aid kit, he noticed the water on the floor and immediately went to clean it. "Well, at least it's not carpeting," he said, putting everything down to get a used towel from the laundry room, not even noticing the other had the camera on.
"Ah, I'm sorry about that." He said as he bowed, quickly taking the camera off and setting it back down on the counter. His eyes widened slightly at the sight of the first-aid kit. Was this a...dangerous game? "We're not going to get hurt, are we?" Not that I mind pain or anything... He would hate to be the reason why seek fell and hurt himself really bad. Second time, nice job. He hoped not. He bit his lip hard as seek left to go get another towel, his eyes looking back at the medication.
He quickly turned to seek once he came back. "I, uh...I don't really know the rules and regulations to a...water balloon fight." He said, his cheeks turning light pink. Oh shit. Ryutaro's foundation didn't happen to be waterproof...What if it hits my face? He swallowed hard as he continued to watch seek.
"That's ok," he said, bending down to dry up the floor. "I need to mop tomorrow anyway. You might have just saved me a tiny bit of work." Optimistic view of something he had to do. seek just beamed and wiped it all up, laughing gently. "Ah, I hope not. Sometimes things can happen though. Innocent games sometimes lead to bad situations. I'm always prepared though!"
He laughed, holding the towel as he stood again, beaming at Ryutaro. "Well, we could play with rules, but the objective is to get soaked and have fun. Chase each other around if you're trying to get one. And, if we run out of balloons there's always more I can find."
Knowing Ryutaro's luck, he was going to slip and crack his head. He was a tad bit anxious of the childish game. Oh, lighten up, Ryutaro. Have some fun. Fun was a definitely different definition in his mind. Fun was developing photos of other people's stuff. Like seek's medication. Heh.
"Hm, well, I suppose playing without rules is better. Who wants to follow rules anyways?" He asked with a smirk before running his fingers through his hair. "But, I understand." He was going to look like a total freak running around with water balloons in his head. "Let the games begin?" He said, as he began to walk outside to the container full of the water balloons.
"Exactly!" seek felt beyond chirpy and highly excited as he quickly threw the towel in the laundry room, bouncing out of the house with a grin, dopey grin on his face. "Oh, I haven't done this in a while. This will feel nice. Cold, but nice." Laughing, he picked up the container after letting Ryutaro grab a few balloons and wet to set it in the yard.
Ryutaro leaned down and picked up a few of the water-filled balloons, taking much as his arms could handle without being clumsy and dropping them. "In all honesty, this is the first time I have done this..." He said as he looked down at the balloons. Was he supposed to throw them at seek now or...? He looked up with a curious and confused expression on his face, his eyes averting over to seek.
Seeing the other with an armful, seek just started to laugh at him as he put the container down and picked up two balloons. "That's too many, Akikun. You don't want to burst them all so fast, do you?" He could tell the other was a first timer, even if he hadn't of mentioned the fact. "You get a couple at a time, chuck them, then go for more."
Ryutaro blushed with embarrassment as he heard the other and looked back down helplessly at his armful of balloons. "Ah, o-okay." He said before walking over to the container and putting them back. He felt like such an amateur idiot. He grabbed two, just like the other man and returned back to his spot, looking at seek. "So uh..." Chuck it, stupid. Ryutaro took one of the balloons and bit his lip, hesitating it for a moment before throwing it, watching it pathetically land a few feet away from seek. "..."
Watching the balloon splatter, seek couldn't help but laugh even more at the other man. "You have to throw them hard." Just for emphasis, seek threw one right at the other man's belly, then didn't watch to see it splatter. He only smirked, picked up another balloon and started running.
Well, obviously. Before Ryutaro could think anymore, the balloon that seek thrown hit him against his stomach, splattering all over his clothes. "Gah!" He cried out, flinching, causing to drop the other water balloon he had in his hand, watching to splatter on his shoes. seek wasn't kidding when he said the water was cold, it was freezing. "I'll get you!" He yelled before running back to the container, grabbing a couple more and chased after seek, throwing one, aiming towards his back.
Shirking, seek felt one of the balloons smack in him the back and burst, feeling the cold water trickled down his ass. "Cold butt! Cold butt!" he yelled, flailing before stopping to chuck one at Ryutaro's legs. "You might balloon me, but you can't catch me!" He did an evil laugh and darted away after chucking the next, going back to grab more.
Ryutaro laughed hard as he watched seek's reaction. Well, okay, maybe he could get used to this fairly quickly. Ryutaro yelled out as the balloon hit his leg, soaking his pants, the water running down his leg. "Ahah! I highly doubt that!" He called out before chasing after seek before chucking the water balloon at seek's shoulder, quickly darting away to gather more.
Nearly tripping over himself, seek grabbed a few more of the balloons, darting off as quickly at he could. He tossed one near Ryutaro's hip, then went for the other man's shoulder, since he didn't want to smack him in the throat or face. He slipped though, landing hard, but quickly got up after his other balloon exploded on him. "Cold in the dark place!" He shrieked and flailed as he ran.
More goosebumps covered Ryutaro's skin as he felt the water balloons hit him. He shuddered, feeling the water seep near his crotch. "Cold!" He squeaked to himself before grabbing a few and chasing seek, wincing as he slipped. He opened his mouth to ask if he was okay but seek was up in a split second. Ryutaro laughed loudly as he threw one at the other's legs. He threw the second one, aiming for his back but instead hit him in the back of the head. "Gah! Sorry!!"
seek squawked when he was hit in the back of the head, flailed more, then fell over. "Oh no! You shot me!" he feigned death, peeking out an eye at Ryutaro, unable to hold in his giggles before rolling on to his side. "You killed the seek monster! I congratulate you with..." darting for the container, he grabbed four balloons at the other. "This! Mwahahaha!"
For a split second, Ryutaro thought he seriously hurt him. His eyes widened before he heard the other. Calm down, Ryutaro, sheesh. He smirked, rolling his eyes playfully. "Exactly, because I'm that good." He laughed before the other darted up and started to throw water balloons at him. "Ah!" He laughed, running away from the balloons. "I'm not even armed! Cheater!" He stuck out his tongue playfully, trying to dodge the balloons, yet failing.
Laughing, seek backed away after grabbing a few more, bouncing to the side out the house. for some reason he just felt like a bunny rabbit. Getting an odd look from a neighbour, he tilted his head, then went to watch Ryutaro. "I'll get you more Akikun! Do not doubt my amazingness!"
"We'll see about that, seek!" Ryutaro replied as he finally darted over to the container, grabbing a few balloons. He was distracted for a second, seeing the next-door neighbor giving the two a weird look. His cheeks only turned a deeper shade of pink, already colored from the coldness of the water. With a boyish smile on his face, he went to the other side of the house, slowly creeping around to try and sneak up on seek.
He wasn't even about to dare to try and get on the roof as warm as it had been [to drop the balloons on Ryutaro]. He didn't want his feet to burn. Peeking his head out, he saw the area was clear and wiggled his nose. Oh, sneaky. I like. Stifling a giggle, he leaned on the side of the house, pretending to keep looking. It was kind of fun, but he didn't want to spoil Ryutaro's fun. I need to invite Akikun over more.
Ryutaro peeked around the corner, seeing seek's back. Smirking to himself, he slowly began to tiptoe closer to him before chucking two of the water balloons at seek. "Ahah! Gotcha~" He laughed before running off again, sticking out his tongue. It seemed like Ryutaro's main reason of coming over was out of his mind and he was too busy having fun with the other man.
seek jumped when the other threw the balloons, quickly turning around to chuck the ones in his own hands at the other man. "Come back!" He gave chase, running up quickly behind Ryutaro while laughing. "You're a snake in the grass! Sneaky, sneaky!" He didn't know how long had passed, but his mother was already returning. He stopped, looking at the car before waddling over like a penguin.
Ryutaro jumped up as the balloons hit him, his wet clothing clinging to his body as he glanced behind his shoulder at the other. "Of course I am, didn't you know?" He said before he saw seek stopping. He slowed down, looking at the driveway, seeing the other car. Ahh, his mother. Ryutaro chuckled at the other's movements before following him to the driveway, water dripping from his clothing.
"Oh, treats!" seek jumped forward and laid across the hood of the car, making grabbing hands for the bag of candies his mother ad bought for the two. "Takuma! I'd swear you were seven instead of twenty-seven!" He put on a big cheesy grin, getting a sigh from her. "Well, I can't help it. Sugar and mommy are a good combination." Taking the bag, he gave her a big kiss on the cheek before helping her with the grocery bags, going in form the back of course. "Come on, Akikun! Snacks!"
Twenty-seven?! Ryutaro was shocked that the man was four years older than him and acted so much younger than himself. He supposed it was nice to have someone to act like a child with, since Ryutaro wasn't able to back then. Ryutaro's lips curved into an envious smile as he watched seek and his mother. His parents were always sketchy about treats, his father always telling him that the dentist would pull out all of his teeth if he ate sweets. "Thank you very much." He said to his mother before following seek into the house.
He beamed, helping his mother put things away as she nodded. "Are you enjoying your time in our home, Akisan?" She figured both of them did though, since they were both soaking and chasing each other when she pulled up. seek just grinned, leaving Ryutaro to chat while he put some things away.
You're such a bad person, Ryutaro, lying to someone's mother. Ryutaro ignored his conscience, his eyes glancing over at his camera before his eyes averted back to seek's mother. "Ahh, of course." He nodded. "Thanks a lot for having me over, I appreciate it." He replied politely with a warm smile. Such a faker.
"Yes, we're having tons of fun. I'm so glad he's over." seek smiled and watched his mother pour them both a glass of soda. It was mainly to get them out of the kitchen while they dripped.
"Go sit on the porch, both of you, and enjoy your treats."
seek couldn't object and finished what he was doing, taking the treat bags and the sodas. "Hope you don't mind caffeine. Not that I need it." Snickering, he thanked her and headed out to the porch.
Ryutaro ran his wet hands through his hair as he walked out to the porch, getting used to the wet and coldness from earlier. He chuckled lightly and took his head. "No, caffeine is good." He smiled before taking the glass of soda, taking a sip. He sat down on the porch and let out a small sigh. "Do you do those sort of things often?" He asked seek, tilting his head to the side.
"Yes, I have friends over pretty often. Well, it won't be as often as it used to, since we moved here." He sat down as well, offering Ryutaro the bag of chocolate candies before he would take on himself. "What time do you have to go to work?" he tilted his head, taking a few mouthfuls of his own drink and watched the sky. "It's a nice day, too."
Ryutaro took a few of the candies, thanking him quietly before popping them into his mouth, his mouth watering with chocolate-y goodness. "Ahh, I see. I don't have that much people over." More like none. Ryutaro could never come up creative social ideas. The guilt trip was coming back from round two as Ryutaro spoke. "Six." He lied before taking a sip of his drink, looking up at the sky.
"Sounds about what time it nearly is." Pouting, seek stood up and popped his head into the window, checking the time. "Yea, it's about twenty until six. Ah well, you can come over again so we can have more fun together, right?" Taking another sip from the soda, seek sat back down and took a candy for himself. "I hope you enjoy work, and take some candies with you, just incase your day gets sour."
"Egh, I have to go back home and change too..." He trailed off before giving seek a reassuring nod. "Of course, we'll hang out again soon." He replied with a warm smile before taking a few candies for later. "Heh, thanks. Thanks a lot for inviting me over, I had a blast." Ryutaro said before he stand up, not forgetting to take his camera.
Getting up, seek bowed to the other, smiling even more at him. "Sure, just give me a call, or stop by here or Tanpopo's. I work second shift most nights." It was nice to have Ryutaro over, and the man to him seemed pretty nice. He picked up the glasses and bag, laughing gently. "It was nice to have your company. Thank you for coming, Akikun."
Ryutaro smiled, storing the information in his mind. Second shift. "I'll make sure to remember, seek. You're very welcome~ I'll see you later for sure." He said before giving him a bow and retreating back to the house to get his camera, holding it tightly. He bid farewell to seek's mother before leaving the house and unlocking his car, getting in quickly. Although the 'normal' part of him felt bad for lying, he wanted to get to know so much more about seek, knowing there wasn't just a childish side to him.
