Room 308, Friday, Midday

[the_merriest]

Okay, so: it wasn't just prom. It was also Reno's nineteenth birthday. Which ... he kinda got weird about celebrating things like that, so she hadn't made a big fuss out of it -- although she was going to give a heads-up to the rest of the posse, just because they'd slap her silly if they didn't. She might ask them to keep it under wraps, though.

Reno was in a pretty darn good mood, today. Between dodgeball and punting fake gremlins into the trees, classes today hadn't been so bad at all.

And they'd been sane which suited him just fine.

And so he was smiling as he knocked on Rikku's door, a paper bag containing the greasiest chicken he could get on the island in one hand. It was lunchtime, after all.

[the_merriest]

"Come iiiiiiiiiiiin," she sang out. Which hopefully didn't give him the wrong impression, that she was tied up and couldn't get to the door? She was suddenly worrying that she'd done everything all wrong and should have done something vampy with lingerie instead of sitting here in her orange PJs. "I mean, it's open, zoto."

[raspberryturk]

Hey, she could have done something vampy, but knowing Reno? If she had, they would have either missed the Prom, or they would have wound up getting there late and smelling like sex.

... Which would have been fine by Reno, but still.

"Yo!" He peered into the room, waving the bag of chicken. "I come bearin' grease and salt, zoto. You havin' a good day off?"

[the_merriest]

Getting there late smelling like sex was still totally an option, in her books.

"Ooooooh, you rock," she laughed. "I'm having an awesome day off. Watching movies. Being lazy. Wishing I had a Turk to snuggle."

Subtlety wasn't her strong suit.

[raspberryturk]

"Well, ain't you in luck?" Reno chuckled, passing over the bag of chicken before kicking off his shoes and joining her on the bed.

He could totally take a hint. And if the extra pillows hadn't been one, nothing ever would be.

"There just so happens to be one in the room, yo."

[the_merriest]

"Not just any Turk," she said happily, pulling him into a snuggly sort of embrace. "My favorite. I mean, I've met some Turks in my time, but none of the rest of them cuddle this well."

He smelled good. He always smelled good. The chicken could wait a second while she just ... settled in.

[raspberryturk]

Reno attempted to picture any of the Turks that Rikku had met actually doing anything resembling cuddling.

It didn't work.

Which was a good thing.

"Yeah, well I got plenty of practise with a real pretty girl, zoto." He demonstrated by snuggling in closer. "Prom today, huh?"

[the_merriest]

"Prom today," she agreed. "I got a pretty dress, so we have to go. You'll never guess what color it is, except you will, 'cause it's orange."

Which was a huge shock. Really.

"I forgot tickets, though. Did you get any?"

[raspberryturk]

"You think I'd forget?"

Reading notes on the radio the other day totally reminded him to. And so he'd handwavily obtained some yesterday.

"I'm thinkin' I'll wear that three-piece again. That suit was swank."

[the_merriest]

"That suit was awesome," she agreed. "You look all pimped out in it. Which means you totally need to actually get a pimp suit sometime. I can't believe you don't own a pimp hat already, zoto."

[raspberryturk]

"The cowboy hat don't count?" So far as Reno was concerned, the cowboy hat should count. He was so bringing that back to Gaia with him when he graduated. That hat was hot. "I bet it goes real good with the three-piece."

[the_merriest]

"A cowboy hat isn't a pimp hat," she noted, leaning up to kiss his nose. "And you're not wearing the cowboy hat to prom. I totally wanna see it, though."

[raspberryturk]

"Maybe I'll try it on for you after the dance," Reno decided. "You want I should get the boots, too?"

He could model both- the hat and the boots- and nothing else.

[the_merriest]

"Yes," she decided. "And maybe we go out pimp-and-hoing some time. I'd make a good ho. I still have some of those clothes from when Dawn and I went clubbing."

And when Rikku thought an outfit was trashy ...

[raspberryturk]

In the past, when Reno envisioned him going out on the town with a ho in tow, he'd always actually envisioned... Oh, an actual ho, and not his girlfriend.

He laughed a little.

"You want we should do that before grad, or are we gonna terrorize Edge or somethin' like that?"

[the_merriest]

"We could," she said, playing lightly with his lapels. "Or Luca. I haven't taken you to Luca yet, have I? Doesn't have as many people as edge, though. They might not get the joke."
