tenipuri_xp | [script log] Taki and Fuji, evening talk

Date: June 18th, late evening (after Shiiba dropped off her goodies)
Rating: G
Summary: Taki and Fuji binge on brownies and ~~discuss hit lists~~ ~~jokingly plot murder~~ talk.

Taki: *plops down on the couch with pan Shiiba dropped off. He's currently wearing a white, sleeveless undershirt, teal and white plaid pajama bottoms, and fuzzy brown slippers. His hair's held back by a plain elastic band.*

Fuji: *also in pajamas, had been relaxing on the couch. He scoots closer, looking over Taki's shoulder at the contents of the pan* What'd she bring us? Brownies? *reaches for one, letting his hand linger for a bit in Taki's personal space before retracting it and taking a bite*

Taki: Yeah, and they even look edible like she said. *snatches a brownie himself, biting into it delicately - not bad* Shiiba-san's gotten pretty good at these...

Fuji: *nods, his mouth full, then swallows* Shall we make any suggestions for improvements, this time?

Taki: No wasabi. *takes another bite; chews and swallows* Nuts or chocolate chips might be good though. Or peanut butter chips. That'd be good, too...

Fuji: Peanut butter. *nods* I like that. *settles back against the couch, draws his knees up in front of himself*
Fuji: Chiles are better with chocolate, anyway. *smile*

Taki: I'll take your word for it. *shifts so he's sitting crosslegged* You didn't cook anything while I was gone, did you?

Fuji: Nothing strange. *takes another bite, shrug* Just the usual lunches and dinners.

Taki: Anything left? *considers adding 'edible' but that would be too rude*

Fuji: *chuckles* There's a few boxes in the back of the fridge if you're willing to brave the murky depths.

Taki: ...nevermind. I'll just have some ramen or something.

Fuji: That ... might be safer. *finishes brownie*

Taki: Less likely to die from food poisoning. *nibbles on his*

Fuji: Now, you know I would never do such a thing...

Taki: Not intentionally anyway.
Taki: ...to me. *adds as an afterthought, grabs another brownie*

Fuji: *laughs* Hmm, did you have any suggestions? *takes another one, too*

Taki: I dunno. A pizza, maybe?

Fuji: Mm, I meant people to poison, but suggestions for dinner work, too.

Taki: You know my suggestion already but I guess we could find someone else and slip arsenic in their pizza.

Fuji: People who produce biotoxins can't usually be poisoned, anyway. What about Echizen? We don't need him, do we?

Taki: I like Echizen. He's a good kid. Kirihara on the other hand.... He's expendable.
Taki: Yuudai would be upset though... Can you think of anyone else?

Fuji: He was my second choice. *nibbles brownie*
Fuji: You know ... I really don't know, this time.

Taki: Know what? Surely there's someone we could off that we can both agree on.

Fuji: You really do like Echizen?

Taki: Yeah. He's a cute kid. You really wanna kill him that badly?

Fuji: *hides his answer behind his brownie* ... maybe.

Taki: He's not that bad. Just a little grumpy, s'all. You remember what I was like at that age, don't you?

Fuji: You weren't trying to break Yuuta's heart.

Taki: What makes you think he's trying to do that? Weren't they just wrestling or something?

Fuji: Mm. I don't think so.

Taki: What do you think, then?

Fuji: I think I don't like him. *smile*

Taki: I meant, what makes you think they're doing anything but wrestling but I guess that's a moot point.

Fuji: *sighs* Do you really think that's it?

Taki: I don't think anything about it because it's not my business. *shrugs* Yuuta's old enough to look after himself, you know, and it's not like Echizen's the big bad wolf or anything. He's just a kid, too, and even if they are doing more than rough-housing, they're at that age. Teenagers do that sort of thing.

Fuji: *sulks and eats his brownie, not having a really useful answer to that*

Taki: You did that sort of thing. With Shishido. *munches on a brownie*

Fuji: ... I know.
Fuji: I suppose I can't say that's really very different, can I?

Taki: Not unless you wanna be hypocrite. *shrugs* Which people are, myself included.

Fuji: *looks up* Oh?

Taki: What?

Fuji: Ah ... nothing. Nothing. You're right.
Fuji: But Yuuta's not like me.

Taki: No, Yuuta's like Yuuta and Yuuta has a right to be experience the same things you did if he wants, doesn't he?

Fuji: But not with Echizen.

Taki: What's wrong with Echizen? You still haven't said that other than you don't like him, you know. *nibbles*

Fuji: He's not nice.

Taki: Neither am I. Neither are you. Is that really your reason?

Fuji: Yuuta's not as rough as he'd let you believe. He needs someone who actually cares about him.
Fuji: ... I just don't like him.

Taki: And you're going to meet a lot of people you don't like in Yuuta's life. You can't let that interfere with his happiness, especially at this age. He's going to face a lot worse things on X-Prime, you know.

Fuji: Different sorts of things, though.

Taki: Things a lot harder to fix than a broken heart which you still have no proof is even going to happen here.

Fuji: Couldn't he have just picked someone else?

Taki: Would you react differently if he had?

Fuji: Of course I would have.

Taki: Are you sure?

Fuji: Yes. It all depends on who it was.

Taki: Mm. *chews*

Fuji: *quiet for a moment, trying to convince himself that yes, it really would be different*
Fuji: ... What do you want on your pizza?

Taki: Pineapple and ham.

Fuji: *grabs the phone and makes the call, then flops back on the couch*

Taki: Mm. *rolls his neck slowly and stretches his legs, knees popping*

Fuji: *eyes him* You're alright?

Taki: Yeah, why? *resettles on the couch*

Fuji: *smile* Just asking. *glances him over* Have a good day?

Taki: Pretty good. Worked all of it but didn't get bugged or recognized so yeah, it was good.

Fuji: Mm. We had more training.

Taki: Oh? What's he having you do now?

Fuji: All sorts of things. Today it was the agility course. He tested my reaction time -- how fast can I get out of a place, wait time between closing and opening the other side ... *shakes head* Nothing new.

Fuji: *wry* Sometimes I just might envy you, you know.

Taki: *becomes very still* Why's that?

Fuji: Your job seems far more interesting than running drills all day long. *shrug*

Taki: Oh. *relaxes again* Gotta admit those drills are fun though. All those fond memories... *wistful*

Fuji: *laughs* You're more than welcome to join us, still. Sensei does miss you, after all.

Taki: *draws his knees up to his chest, rests his chin on them* I'm sure he does.

Fuji: *shifts a little closer* You should come, one day.

Taki: Should I? *lop-sided smile*

Fuji: *nods* I would like to see you there.

Taki: What about Shishido?

Fuji: He'll live.

Taki: ... *slow, evil smile* The student center can do without me for a day, I think.

Fuji: *smile* Of course it can.

Taki: When?

Fuji: Hmm, want to just drop in unannounced~?

Taki: Surprise visit~? <3

Fuji: Surprise for them~

Taki: I think I can manage~ <3

Fuji: That'll be nice, I think. <3

Taki: I think so, too. <3
