Jounouchi was walking along, his hands shoved deep into his pockets. Where he was going, he didn't fully know, but that didn't stop him from walking slowly in his chosen direction. He blinked as something wet brushed past his cheek and glanced up, only to see the sky filled with snowflakes. Smiling rufully to himself, he hunched hus shoulders up

Otogi had the night off of work... The next few days at the shop would be set on holiday hours, half days or no working at all

[dice_boy_]

"You're kidding," Otogi replied, quirking an eyebrow. "Sure, there's fangirls, but... most people don't want to be my friend. I mean... just look at me." Harlequin mark. Head band. The lot. "Not many people want to hang out with someone like me. Guys hate me because so many girls like me. That's just how it is..."

Gosh, he never told anyone about this stuff, either. And because of that, he immediately felt closer to the other boy.

[puppy_kat]

Jou looked the other up and down, or as best as he could in the ever growing darkness, before smirking faintly, more to himself than the other.
"I'm looking and I don't see anything," he replied, "I mean.. sure you can be an arrogant jerk at times, but hey, I'm a loud mouthed idiot. We all got our flaws, it's just a matter of fact of letting others see what else we got to offer"
"It's like you said," he continued, "Back at the nurse's office... that there's a side that you put on for the fangirls. Maybe if you showed yourself a little more, you'd get friends"

[dice_boy_]

"It's hard though, you know? ...to trust people with who I am. It's like... if I put on some facade, I can't get hurt. Like... how I am now... no way would I act like this around anyone else. I guess... I guess you're just easy to talk to."

He smiled, and tried something to lighten the mood at little. "What? You don't see anything you don't like? Are you suggesting you find me visually pleasing, Jounouchi Katsuya?" he asked with a smirk.

[puppy_kat]

Jounouchi blushed again, much more so this time, and turned his head away slightly, just in case the other could see him.
"Uhh... well I mean...c'mon! You got looks that most people would die for, ya know? If people don't like you, it's cos they're jealous. I mean," Jou broke off, throwing a smirk back at the other, "Who else could pull off the kinda stuff you wear and still have fangirls, huh?"

[dice_boy_]

"Ooh, was that a blow at my accessories? I'm wounded, Jounouchi," he replied, smirking right back. "You're quite right, though... not everyone can wear these things and pull it off. Let's see..."

He borrowed his arm back from around Jou's shoulders for a moment, and reached up with both hands to pull off his head band. That done, he slid it over the blond's head instead, and, after taking a good look at Jou, couldn't help but laugh. "You're right. I'm afraid it just isn't you."

[puppy_kat]

Jou pouted over at the other, before reaching up to adjust the headband.
"That's only cos; One, I dont have the right colourings for it," as he spoke he removed the headband and handed it back to Otogi, still pouting, "It's suits you cos you wear a lot of red n' black and you've got black hair. And two, my hair is too," he broke off trying to think of a word to describe it, reaching up to pull gently at his bangs as he did, "Messy and random... it'd just cover most of it up"

[dice_boy_]

Otogi smirked and replaced the head band back onto his own head. "That's true enough. Still, I like your hair. It's kind of... wind-blown. Daring. Adventurous. That kind of thing." He couldn't help himself... and reached up to ruffle the other boy's hair. It was soft, and he couldn't help but like the feel of it. "Messy's a good look for you."

[puppy_kat]

"Good job then," Jou replied, snickering, "Cos it don't seem to want to go any other way"
He didn't mind the other ruffling his hair, and in fact..he wasn't sure what it was, but he kind of liked it.. in the weirdest way possible. Maybe because he hadn't seen Otogi give any sign of affection to others like this before... and well, it just made him feel...special in a way.
He glanced sideways at him again.
"Your hair must take ages to do"

[dice_boy_]

No, Otogi didn't usually show affection toward anyone... It kind of confused him why he was being so open with Jounouchi, but he just went along with it. It felt... kind of good, anyway.

"I suppose it does," Otogi explained. "Maybe... an hour each morning? It's worth it, though, right? I think it looks good. But then again, I think my hair always looks good. But the fangirls like it prettied up. Do you like my hair?" he asked, smirking.

[puppy_kat]

"Eh.. I don't dislike it," Jou began, smirking back at him, "It's... different ya know. And it kinda suits you. Don't think I could picture you with short hair..."

He backtracked suddenly, and his eyes widened as he looked over at the other.
"An hour?! A whole hour?! Geeze... I don't spend *any* time on mine"

[dice_boy_]

"No time at all? Seriously?" he asked, disbelieving. "Well... it still looks good on you. And yes, a whole hour. I can't go anywhere without looking my best. That's just the way I am, I guess. I like looking good, and I'll take all the time I need to make myself that way."

His hands were getting a little numb from the cold, so he borrowed his arm back from Jounouchi and lowered his arms to rub his hands together, hoping to stir some warmth there.

[puppy_kat]

"Nope" Jou replied, almost proudly, "I'd brush it but I don't wanna break any brushes"

He glanced sideways at Otogi, noticing the other trying to warm his hands and nudging him slightly.
"If you're cold, then get home. I'm sure your old man won't be awake now.. unless he's nocturnal or somethin'"

[dice_boy_]

Otogi blinked, and shook his head at the other boy. "No way. I said I wasn't leaving you, and that's final." Cold hands be damned, he curled his arm over the other boy's shoulder again and held him a little closer. "I've got to keep you warm, after all... You'd have been freezing if I wouldn't have come along... And I think my being here will help with that just fine. After all, everyone says that I can... set people on fire." Smirk.

[puppy_kat]

Jounouchi flushed again at this comment, but luckily not as much as he had done before hand. He reached up with one of his own hands, which until now had been resting underneath Otogi's jacket, and pressed it against against the other's briefly.
"Geeze...you *are* frozen!" he half chided him, before pulling up Otogi's jacket more so that it covered his shoulder, and now Otogi's hand.
"Look, I told you that I ain't moving until my old man's probably asleep. I don't want ya to freeze on my account"

[dice_boy_]

"Don't worry... You're keeping me warm," Otogi replied reassuringly after trying to ignore the little heart-flutter that came about when Jou touched his hand. "Besides, I think you must be part dragon, too... I'll bet you set lots of people on fire."

He edged a little closer, so they were sitting immediately next to one another, thigh against thigh. "I won't freeze," he repeated. "You'll keep me warm. I want to stay here."
