So... What's up now?

"So..."

"So?~", I say. "What's up??". I raise a brow. Kris looks at me, like I'm supposed to know what's going on. I just stare back. "Ha." "Well, ok, anyways~, when's Ren gonna get here?", he asks. "'Anyways~'??", I think, "wtf?", what's that supposed to mean, he didn't even say anything other than "So", goodness, this dude's a real card. Hugghhhh~

"I dunno", I say, "I mean, we are at your apartment, I sorta figured you'd know..." ~Who am I kidding, why would he?~ "Emmm, well, I told you to come 'round 13, so I dunno, maybe he's just late?..." I laugh a bit. "'Maybe~'"... This guy doesn't even know what's going on, oh Lord. "Hmm, well, did you even tell him?", I ask.

Kris looks over. "Ehh, maybe- I- um... I mean, I think so...", he says in a cheeky voice, that makes me feel like he's pulling my leg. I'm ready to leave. I won't, but boy, I sure as hell do feel like it. "What am I here for, again?", I ask.

He steeples his hands, and looks at me. I try to make my face look dead-serious and sarcastic all at once. I do that a lot, so I'm sure it worked, though, considering who I'm looking at, he'll just think my nose itches or something.

"We're here to devise a plan~", he narrows his brows, as he's says this. I sit back, and cross my legs. "Oh.", I say. "Ok, I get it now, he means about my new look, and the flat that's 'on the table'...", I inquire. I was about ready to go full on brain dead for a moment, I honestly had not even the slightest clue as to what he meant...

"Alright", I say. "Ye-", I interrupt him, "Well, we need Ren here if we're gonna do that..." "Meanyyyy~!!!!", he shouts, in a whiny tone. "Hehe, he's such a baby, it's cute.", I think. "You. cut. me. off~!!!", he yells. I smirk, ~haha, the disease has spread to me, I've developed chronic smirking disease...~. "Indeed I did~ "

He stares.

"Damn, I think I broke it, is there a Kris repair machine around?", I say aloud. "Where's Ren's maid, when you need her?... She's awesome, and a real babe...", I say under my breath. "Well, um... I'll just go get a snack, want anything? - Ok, well, I'll just get you something, I guess... I know you well enough, right, it's been a good three years, since we met... I think." I grab my wallet, and leave his apartment. After leaving the ten-story building, I make my way to the little store on the corner.

I walk in, grab a few sodas (enough so that if Ren shows up, we will have plenty...), ~when did I become such a nice person?? Hehe.~ and some snack type foods. After paying with the rest of my cash, ~such a charitable person~ I make my way back.

As I go around the corner, I see the guy from the cafe... "Hmm, this should be fun~", I say under my breath. I smirk, as I pass by. I hear him say something to the person he's with, then someone taps me. Slowly, as if to be more suspenseful, or something, I turn around.

I look up. "Oh." I say half surprised. It's Ren. "Hey. You headed over to Kris' too?", he asks. "Heuh, ye-", I'm interrupted by someone else tapping me. "Huh?" Once again, I turn around.

"Hey." The guy from the cafe says to me, while doing a little wave. I kind of look him over. In all honesty, he's not half bad... He's tall and skinny, with dark blue hair, and is relatively stylish. Cool. "Hi.", I say back, as I do a very brief, awkward little wave. He blushes. ~Well... This guy's very impressionnable... Cute.~

"I- Uhh, hehe. I never, um, caught your name... At the cafe*" ~Could this really be anymore awkward?...~ "He-", Ren almost says her, but he stops himself... "His name is Akayia." "Oh, hey, I'm so sorry, that was so rude of me!!! I totally interrupted your convo! Sheesh, sorry!", he apologizes. He bows. "It's ok", Ren says, "we weren't talking about anything important..." I agree. "Oh, good, still though, I'm not usually like this, I just wanted to say hi, before you disappeared... Sorry, again." Ren smiles. "So, uh...", he blushes, "humm, would you like to go get a coffee with me sometime?" I look up at Ren. "What's your name, again?", I ask. I feel a little bad, but quite frankly, I really can't remember it.

"Oh! *clears throat* It's, humm, it's Ranofuka Taiko. Sorry, for not properly introducing myself before..." He blushes again. "It's all good" Ren says. "I'm Ren Kaosuke, and this is Kirigami Akayia." I smile. ~Why am I smiling so much today?? it's abnormal... Goodness~

Ren looks -down- at me. "We should all meet at the cafe, this Saturday (in two days), 'round 10, maybe?" He grabs my hand. I glance up at him, then at Taiko. "O- Oh, yeah, that sounds good... Ok then, see ya." Ren starts walking, pulling me along with him. He smiles, "He's a pleasant fellow..." I sigh, "Yeah, I guess."

We walk past an ATM, and I stop, to get some more money, because I spent all the rest of it earlier today.

"So, did Kris invite you?...", I ask. "No, but when I went to your house, you weren't there, and since we don't have school, I didn't know of any plans, and you don't work, I figured that you were with him..." ~This just goes to show how incompetent Kris can be...~ "Well, you thought right", I say. "What's he want?", Ren asks. "To devise a plan, for my boyish looks and our restaurant deal...", I say. "Ok, makes sense.", he says.

"Do you think that guy, Taiko, thinks that were dating?...", I ask. "So what if he does?". "Yeah, I guess there wouldn't be a problem with that, I'm just being weird today... My feelings have come back to haunt me... lol.", I say, as I relise the reality of what's going on. "Oh, well, that's just what you get for surpressing them, all this time", he says. I stick my tongue out, and pull one eyelid down. "You're just as childish as Kris sometimes... You know that??", Ren says mockingly. "Oh shut up!", I punch him in the arm. "Ow~ That hurt, yanno!", he whined. "Well, that whacha get!!!" We both laugh, and start walking again.

We get back to Kris' apartment complex, and up to the eighth floor, using only stairs, since the elevator is out of order, and when I open the door, Kris is still just lying on the floor, like a big baby.

"Oh come on. Kris, were all here now, and we have snacks, that I~ paid for... Stop sulking around!", I say. He jumps up. "Did you get-" "-Candy brand name-, yes, I got the kind you like, you're welcome~", I say sarcastically. "Aww!!! Thanks!!! You're the best!!~", he praises me. I plop down on the couch, "I kno- tell me something I don't know~", I say. "Yes, enlighten the all knowing Kirigami~", Ren says in the most sarcastic voice he could make.

"Anyways, Kirigami tells me were here to talk about our deal, and to 'devise a plan', eh?~", Ren says. "Yemph, pruhffeh mumpff..." (←Yeah, pretty much), Kris says. "So then, where shall we begin?"
