[RL with Shito, backdated to yesterday]

[tiedbydestiny]

Chika was bored. He'd actually finished his homework, he was so bored. Junpei wasn't around to hang out with or play video games, and all his solo games just seemed... boring. He couldn't even take an extra shift at the store, because the manager had grumbled that he had to let the other employees have some hours

If Junpei hadn't been away for a couple of days, Chika would have concluded that Shito had just gotten some really mind-blowing sex. And then he would have been forced to scrub his brain with bleach to erase the image. He was probably going to have to do that anyway.

But Junpei hadn't been around, so Chika didn't know what the hell was going on. "Uh... bed, I guess," he said, slowly coming into the room, even more amazed that Shito was letting him past the door. He didn't think he wanted to expose everyone in the caf to Shito in this bizarre mood. It might give them all heart attacks. Or maybe it was some weird kind of zombie virus that would end up killing them all. It was his duty to keep Shito contained until they figured out of he was contagious.

Or something.

He settled gingerly on the other side of the bed from Shito, still half convinced the other boy was about to bite his head off for daring to intrude on his personal space. He shuffled the cards, just for something to do with his hands. "You know how to play Revolution?"

Shito curled his feet around and sat cross-legged on the bed, running a hand through his hair to make sure it hadn't been disarranged when he was lying down.

"No, I've never heard of that game," he said. "You sure you don't want to play strip poker or something? I don't really know how to play that, either, but it sounds fun."

"S-strip..." Chika was starting to feel like 'stunned and bewildered' was going to become a permanent expression for him. He was forced to wonder if Shito was just teasing him, except Shito didn't know how to relax enough to tease like this. He'd gotten a little better since he'd met Junpei, but not this much better.

"Maybe that's something you should ask Junpei to teach you," he said, rubbing at the back of his head. "Let's just stick to Revolution for now, huh?"

The reminder of Junpei's existence brought a sappy grin to Shito's face. "Oh yeah," he said dreamily. "That sounds like a good idea. I'll ask him to teach me that game."

He sat up a little, giving Chika his full attention. "So how do we play Revolution?"

Chika was both unnerved by the sappy grin and relieved that Shito seemed to have abandoned the idea of strip poker. For now, at least. He was seriously starting to favour the 'zombie virus' theory.

Quickly he explained the rules of the game, shuffling the cards as he did it. He dealt out the first hand, fingers flicking over the cards with the ease of practice. How many hours had he spent, hiding out on the roof or somewhere with Shiba, playing this game? Shiba almost always beat him, because the jerk could remember every card dealt and calculate the probabilities in his head of what would come next, but Chika had still had fun trying.
