Summary: Rin and Ryoga return to their apartment after the ball and Rin takes the teasing a bit too far.

Well now, wasn't that a lovely evening~? Definitely entertaining. Everything went smoothly, Rin met few quite interesting fellows, and more importantly the Echizen brother's mother, who happened to be a very nice lady. Her little innocent questions left him deadly amused, while Ryoga went and denied most… well, ok, all. All questions that were about their … relationship. Which was roommates only, really, but teasing the slightly taller mutant was too much fun to pass up. Even though, thanks to that, he did receive few quite nasty looks.

On the same note, Rin managed to get few dances out of Ryoga. Who turned out to be a decent dancer. All in all, he decided that it was a good idea to go through this hell that was getting the other to agree. At first, the blonde didn't even think about going to the ball, but then Ryoga posted that on the journal, and he just… couldn't resist <3. And it was definitely a good decision.

With these thoughts, he entered the apartment they were sharing, the other mutant trailing behind. Rin stretched, and took off the hair clip that was keeping his hair up, the blonde strands immediately spilling over his back and shoulders. Hm… it was getting longer and longer, eh? Not like he wanted to cut it, nope… long was fine, very much so.

What a tiresome and troublesome night it was -- bone-weary from dancing the social mambo and fighting off the queries of his mother who had, somehow or another, convinced herself that her eldest son was dating a nice young man who was currently letting his hair down in front of Ryoga. That same hair, so much like corn silk in color and grace, clogged the drain of the shower, and the taller mutant would often find long blonde hairs randomly on his clothing or on the sheets or... well, it was everywhere. Pretty, but everywhere. Not a welcome sight for the bleary-eyed.

One thing - and only one thing - was appealing to Ryoga at that moment, and that was going to bed. Bed was wonderful because it was an activity that did not involve Rin or people making noise and asking questions. It did not mean he would have to do a little dance - metaphorically or literally - he could just shut off for a few hours. Brushing past the other mutant, Ryoga went to do just that, removing his jacket of his sport coat as he walked. "I'm going to bed," he announced - easily the longest sentence he had willingly spoken to Rin all evening.

Mou, and wasn't that disappointing? Rin reached out, hooking two fingers on the other's belt. He still could, and wanted, to have some fun on the other's expense, "Wait~," in a voice sweet and innocent as honey, the blonde murmured with a pout, "Hey, what about the goodnight kiss~?" There always had to be a kiss, either a simple peck on the lips or a full blown making out session~<3. That, and he was curious about a reaction and whether or not Ryoga was a good kisser.

Fixing Rin with a heavy glare, Ryoga batted the hand away from his belt. Delusional as Rin was, many of their conversations were irritating - so Ryoga was not about to start an argument over something they both knew he was not interested in - he was not interested in a kiss or humoring Rin any more than he already had that night. Silently he stalked out of the room, ignoring the moping and the whined protest from his roommate. He had already given Rin more than enough slack that night.

...Which brought into sharp focus, Ryoga realized as he closed the door in his wake, that he had been playing by Rin's rules all night - not his own. The dancing, the ball, the teasing, the forced socializing - all of it was playing the game the way Rin wanted it to be played. Ryoga had never been one to sit back and let someone else tell him how to act; to tie his hands and lead him blindfolded through an evening was as good as a declaration of war.

Turning on a heel, Ryoga was back beside Rin moments later, able to surprise the other mutant enough with his presence to back the blonde against a wall. Neither gently nor politely, Ryoga stole a kiss - passion sparked somewhere in his chest, and he deepened the kiss, pulling Rin away from the wall, and against himself, instead.

No, the fact that Ryoga flipped him off was not a surprise. Apparently that was a bit too much on his side, the glare told that much, if not more. Either way, Rin had a fun, fun evening, even though it probably wouldn't ever be repeated, oh well... at least he had this one <3. He took off his jacket and that was as much as he could do, before his roommate was again by his side, surprising the hell out of the blonde, and the next moment came the most unexpected...

Rin had to be honest, if he expected Ryoga to really kiss him, he expected it'd be like this. Forcefully with anger showing through. It startled the slightly smaller mutant, and he had no idea how to react at first... the state was rather new to him, really. Rarely ever anyone had the guts or skills to surprise him. First reaction was to push the other away, but he caught himself in time, arms slipping around Ryoga's neck. He closed his eyes too, when he felt being pulled closer... another unexpected action... Rin was thinking he'd be painfully pinned to the wall, rather than held. Not like he was complaining, far from it <3.

As suddenly as it had begun, the kiss ended. Ryoga released the other mutant, removing the arms from around his neck. "Good night," he quipped, gently knocking Rin's chin with the knuckle of one curled finger. With one more chaste kiss and a knowing smirk, he once again went into the bedroom - this time with every intention of just falling asleep and sleeping off the horrors of the night - he would be better ready to face them come morning.

Rin just stood there for few long moments, completely baffled at the other's behaviour. What the hell? This fucking with his head was probably Ryoga's way of paying back for the evening. With a rather helpless smile, the blonde ran a hand through his hair. It was a pleasant way to pay back, yes, but very confusing.

...

A wicked thought ran through his mind, and the helpless smile turned into a smirk. Hmm, after the other mutant took his bath, Rin'd take his own and go to sleep <3. And tomorrow... tomorrow he'll have some fun again <3, well, at least try to.
