He served the ham on a large plate, setting it down with a large cutting knife and a fork.
"There you are. Try not to eat it all, I'd like to have leftovers to work."
"Oooooh you're so important you can't leave work, huh?" Neo poked fun at his twin, spearing a piece of ham.
"Nice to see you too," Erro chuckled, cuddling Amun in his lap to keep him from running and licking his phone.
"It's certainly been a while since we've last spoken. How was your trip? Do you have a roommate?" Kadachi asked, after which Erro deflated a little.
"I…I have a roommate, yeah. We haven't gotten along at all since I've gotten here. I freaked a little when I first saw him and he took it the wrong way and still hates me," Erro said with a small, dejected shrug
Met sat down with a little eye roll, and even then Neo had practically shoved the entire piece of ham into his mouth.
"It's called chewing, Neo," Met said as he carefully took a piece for himself.
"Well, you'll figure it out, you always do. You're our strategist, remember?" Kadachi said, smiling warmly at Erro in a way that made the poor boy's heart flutter. He quickly held Amun to his chest, hiding his face with the dragon who had begun circling his limbs cutely.
"Yeah, I know. I think he's a mind reader too, but he got all pissed when I asked. So I don't know why he can't just…read my mind to tell that I'm trying my best," he mumbled
Neo rolled his eyes and swallowed heavily. "Yeah, whatever. Thanks for cooking and letting me come by."
Met grunted and nodded, sitting up and back. "You're welcome. Why did you want to come by, anyway? Something about a roommate?"
Neo sighed over a cup. "Yeah. A guy named Erro strutted up to my dorm and just walked the fuck in. And doesn't expect me to get upset."
"Maybe there are limitations to his abilities. Maybe he's only seen when you've been upset, or when your thoughts have been the loudest," Kadachi tried to reason softly. Erro just huffed, hiding further behind Amun.
"He's coming back today, I think. Though all my classes are in the early morning so I guess if he comes back late I can just hide."
Met sighed softly over a cup of blue shimmery wine, rolling his eyes over it. "Right. And he thought something that upset you."
"Yes! He called me a stripper," Neo complained, blowing his cheeks out. "I just enjoy having little clothes on, and it was hot! I had a reason!"
"No, don't hide. Then you'll never get along. Did you apologize for making him think something on accident?" Kadachi asked, after which Erro nodded.
"It didn't work, he just got pissed again. And the worst part is the asshole is attractive, and god knows what might happen if I out myself so soon. Not that it would really matter considering the guy was wearing more or less the shorts equivalent of underwear," Erro huffed
Met sighed softly. "You can stay until tomorrow, like you wanted, but I don't want you calling me every time the poor man thinks something about you. Just enjoy the company."
"I won't enjoy the company if he's being so rrggggh…"
Kadachi couldn't help but start busting up laughing at that, Erro making a noise of indignation. "Not funny, that's not fair! You didn't have to walk in to a face full of ass on your first day!" Erro exclaimed indignantly, which only made Kadachi laugh harder
(Face full of ass xDD)
Met chuckled and leaned back in his seat, swirling the wine in the cup delicately. It shimmered a gold color instead of the blue.
"So he upset you. And instead of confronting him, you're just going to wallow in anger?"
(lmaooo)
"I'm serious, it's not funny! And he got all pissed at me because I freaked out!" Erro exclaimed, face red with embarrassment as he hid behind Amun again.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I–A face full of ass? Are you serious? Are you ass height with him, or are you just being a dumbass?" Kadachi laughed
"We-yess, I guess," Neo mumbled, huffing over a bit of ham. "I can't just forgive someone like that. He didn't even apologize for the right thing. I gave him food and everything and he just… ugh. Didn't even thank me."
"Do you think you're overreacting? Just a little?"
"Oh my god, 'Dachi," Erro groaned, burying his face in his hands with a small whine. "Not fair, you can't just do that to me. I'm not that short. Besides, I might as well just stay away from him. Kept trying to apologize and he just blew me off. It wasn't fair," he muttered
Neo huffed across the table at Met, who looked smugly calm as he sipped at his drink.
"No! I am not overreacting. You'd be upset too if someone slammed into your home and saw you in a towel after a shower!"
(Idea: we make that happen with another character for ~two stories in one!~)
(dost thou propose a two-in-one rp? maybe we could do Met and Kadachi theoretically? unless you've got someone else in mind)
"Well, you did your best, which is about all you can do, isn't it?" Kadachi said, a soft, warm smile spreading across his face again. Erro could at least pretend the way his heart squeezed a tad wasn't related to Kadachi, but just a side effect of being teased
(Yes thou does propose a two-in-one. The lucky stalkers are lucky, lmao. And ye, I was thinking Kadachi.)
Met huffed softly into his cup, rolling his icy blue eyes. "Like that would happen. Honestly, by how you dress, I'm surprised it hasn't happened to you already."
"Hey! I like being comfortable in my own body!"
(lmao okay, I'm down, though I'm not sure how to start off the other part of the two in one)
"Yeah, you know I'm right. Things happen, okay? You just have to go with it. You remember back in highschool, I used to get so paranoid and you'd have to calm me down every five seconds? You can't let yourself get all crazy like that," Kadachi said with a small grin. Erro nodded, Amun squeaking in agreement
(We can have Kadachi go find Neo for some reason? Maybe to like, have a one-on-one, but Neo left early Sunday to go into town and just storms in as Met's taking a shower?)
Met hummed softly. "There's nothing wrong with that. But you have to remember that people don't like it."
Neo sighed and scrunched his face up. "That's really cynical. My body's amazing."
(that would work)
"Doesn't mean him yelling at me is much fun," Erro muttered. But at that, Kadachi's eyes widened.
"Does he do it a lot? Like, a lot a lot?" he asked, after which Erro nodded. Suddenly, Kadachi's lips pursed in a tight line, clearly unhappy about this
Met pursed his lips. "Yeah, right. I think you should go home and apologize tonight."
"Tonight?" Neo repeated with a huff. "I still have stuff to do!"
"No you don't. You spent all day upstairs. I heard your brain working." Met chuckled. "Once you're done, go."
(Change of plans, we're doing it Saturday night xD)
(lmao okay)
"And where did you say your roommate left to?" Kadachi asked, forcing his gentle tone to come back.
"To his twin brother's house. Amun figured it out a while ago, he ran off looking for him but ended up coming back," Erro answered
Neo wrinkled his nose. "Why are you rushing me off, Mr. I'm-a-Private-Detective? Do you have somewhere to be?"
"Yes. My shower. You didn't give me any time to do anything in preparation for your arrival. And… don't call me that."
"Awwww are you afraid someone'll hear me?"
That being about all Kadachi needed, he was relieved to hear his oven timer going off. "Cookies are done, Erro. I'll have Amun bring you a bag when they're done, but I've gotta hang up for right now, okay?" Erro nodded, and they said their goodbyes before hanging up
"Yes. Now get out. Go do Neo things that isn't in my house," Met said rather sharply once he noticed Neo had eaten three slices of ham.
Neo stood, waving his hand and his things appearing. "Fine, fine. Can't say I wasn't expecting it from you… Bye, Mr. Grump…"
Erro simply sighed, now just playing on his phone while petting Amun. Meanwhile, Kadachi was finishing setting the cookies out, deciding he would pay this…roommate of his friend's a visit when they cooled
Met rolled his eyes at his twin before starting to pack up the food he made for work on Monday. Neo had left a few mintues later, Met having heard the car pull out. He cleaned a few dishes and dried them off before making his way upstairs to strip and take a shower.
It wasn't long before Neo returned to the dorm, and it was only a little while after that that Kadachi had arrived at Met's house. He knocked on the door, but when he didn't get a response he rolled his eyes and looked around, eventually finding a spare key and unlocking the door
When the door was opened, Met was opening the door to his bedroom with a towel around his hips. He shut the door to his bedroom and took off the towel from his hips, using it for his thick, wet hair as he laid down. His back was towards the door as he got comfy on the bed, taking out his phone.
Kadachi carefully walked through the house, eventually happening upon a partially closed door. He knocked on the doorframe before entering, though quickly felt his face heat up and he averted his gaze as he stepped back. "Hi, uh, I had extra cookies and was just in the neighborhood? I'm sorry, the other guy said to just let myself in," he managed
