[Closed] Just super-powered teenagers hanging out with other super-powered teenagers.
Who: good_ideas, queenofminiskirts, belfire, moribound, theshiningone, espersions
When: early June
Where: Shiho and Kaoru's apartment
What: The joy of food, Mario Kart (played with cheaters) and people literally popping into the room uninvited.
Rating/Warning: Too much food, too much Mario Kart and espers using their powers to ram their friends off the edge of Rainbow Road.
Kaz owed Shiho a delicious home-cooked meal for two. Shiho owed Minato...well, a lot. She refused to tell anyone but Kaoru what it was, of course, but it's clear in the way her stance softened minutely around him that she believed she owed him that, at least.
So what better way for Shiho to enjoy this sudden influx of genuinely nice people than to invite them all over to her and Kaoru's apartment? The more, the merrier, right? It all starts out innocuous enough, with chips and chocolate and Mario Kart in the living room area while they all wait for food. Except Kaz was never told that the intimate dinner for two had long become a dinner party for friends, Shiho was using her psychometry to cheat while playing (because there's no way anyone can be that good), and a certain lolicon was never even formally invited.
Oh, and any game involving espers somehow always manages to devolve into all-out war. Wait. Is that someone hanging around outside the window?!

A (1/2)
Thus he notices some unusual activity going on inside, somebody in the kitchen (hopefully not Kaoru, he thinks, remembering the Christmas "dinner" she prepared). He drifts a bit closer to see who it is....
...
Kaz? That is...huh. He recalls, with some slight embarrassment, how Kaz had appeared one day in his apartment bearing bento, for reasons that might possibly have to do with a crush or perhaps that Kaz was simply worried about a certain old man (who's an old man???!!!). So Kaz cooks, Hyoubu knows this, and so it's not strange that he's cooking, but that now for some inexplicable reason, he's doing it in the girls' apartment.
What on earth? ]
no subject
GODDAMMIT.
Hyoubu is now no longer floating. That's because he's clinging to the sill with his face pressed up against the window, looking like some sort of enraged apparition. Do you feel the evil eye, Kaz? Do you? ]
no subject
Or, rather, he feels the back of his neck prickle like he's being watched, and his hand paused where it was holding an egg above the brim of the mixing bowl, peeking over his shoulder at the kitchen doorway. Hm, no intruders inbound, then what...
...
...
Slowly, Kaz looked the opposite way to the window. There, in all his gnashing furious glory, was Hyou-Kyou's face pressed up against the glass like he was in some sort of slasher film. Kaz blinked very slowly, briefly wondering if he was hallucinating before realising that, no, Hyou-Kyou was indeed creeping outside a girl's kitchen window with a rather terrifying expression. Well then.]
...Hyou-Kyou, t'hell are you doing.
no subject
[ Now that he's been seen, he teleports into the kitchen and clutches the front of Kaz's kitty apron. ]
Turncoat! TRAITOR!
[ Somebody sounds, uh, jealous. But of whom? ]
no subject
As it was, Kaz jolted, blinking rapidly at Hyou-Kyou who was now very much in his personal space and clutching at his kitty apron. Um. Okay. What the fuck? How do you react to a very obviously jealous Hyou-Kyou screaming traitor at you? Why was he even doing that?? Uh someone please help??? Just what????]
...um.
[What was he jealous of? Him cooking for Mimi? Why would he-
...
...oh.]
Hyou-Kyou. [Recovering quickly in the wake of this revelation, Kaz huffed and tried prying the esper's grasping fingers off of his adorable kitty apron] Just 'cuz I'm cooking for other people doesn't mean I'm a traitor! You're not the only person in my life, y'know!
[He cooked for other people than just Hyou-Kyou! He cooked for Minny, for William, and for Mimi now, apparently too...]
1/2
no subject
[ The bad news: Hyoubu looks even angrier, red-faced with fury. Even his ears are red...
The good news: at least he lets go and springs back away from Kaz.
And, well, all of this begs the question: what did he mean? ]
no subject
Uh huh. So, uh, why're you flying in here shrieking like some cheated on wife then?
1/3
no subject
The one thing he likes about this place is, despite the Empress's best efforts, the "lolicon" moniker hasn't stuck. No one calls him that. As annoyed as he gets at being called "tsundere" or "Major Hyou-Kyou fetish," he knows that Kaz calls him that for fun, and not because he thinks Hyoubu is actually a pervert.
But for him to actually admit that the reason he's so upset is that Kaz is apparently dating The Queen or The Empress... Well, that would confirm the lolicon thing. Except he isn't!!! He's rightfully protective, like a parent or something. A really obsessed parent.
So it's probably for the best that Kaz thinks that Hyoubu is jealous of him. Except that opens up another can of worms...
Ugh. ]
no subject
That smells good, what are you making?
[ SMOOTH REDIRECT ]
1/2
no subject
That one's curry. [Giving Hyou-Kyou one last look, he turned back to what he was doing previously: the beginnings of cake mix. Huh, the egg he had earlier was miraculously intact...] I'm also making a salmon dish, still deciding what dish exactly but... well, I'm also making stew too. Plus, another curry that's on the spicy side, also a cake - maybe two if I get the time. Ah, I also want to try this recipe too! It's for a meringue pie and I've never tried making that before, so, uhm, well, it's only if I have time after I'm finished, and if it's bad I won't serve it, but, it looks fun to make at least. Eh, hey, do you think lemon would be best with it? That's a thing, right? Lemon meringue pie?
[Ah, it seemed the more he was chatting the cheerier he got. It seemed Hyou-Kyou's redirect really was successful...]
no subject
[ The more Kaz prattles, the more Hyoubu's eye starts to...twitch? ]
Are you... trying to impress somebody?
[ The problem with this whole redirection business is that the person most in need of redirection is Hyoubu himself. Still, he manages to cloak his fury in a show of teasing cheerfulness, as he grabs a spoon and starts helping himself to a taste of the curry. ]
no subject
[He's stopped when he realised that Hyoubu was dipping into his curry! Ah, how sneaky!!]
Hey! Get out of my curry! [Kaz immediately moved to scold the esper via gentle cuffing about the ears] It's not ready yet! [Huff!!!] You can have it with everyone else at the party!
[Beat]
...you are here for the party right? I mean, I'm presuming Mimi or Koyo invited you since you were loitering about like a weirdo.
1/2
Party?
no subject
[ His shoulders come down and his expression smooths out and sighs, clearly relieved. ]
So that's what this is.
[ ....but he still downs his spoonful of precious, precious curry. ]
Mmmm. Needs more salt.
no subject
[Kaz was effectively distracted from Hyoubu's weirdness by his shameless curry thievery! How rude! He said it wasn't ready either!]
Stay away from my curry, you damn vulture! [This time Kaz was a little more aggressive with his shooing, swiping at him with unsheathed claws to make him back away from the precious curry] You wanna get banned from the kitchen?! 'Cuz I'll do it, y'know! Bam! Banned! Now go bother Mimi or Koyo while I finish!
[HMPH!!!]
no subject
[ He teleports out of striking range, and reappears an instant later, in a different spot. ]
I'm just trying to help! It's a lot to do for one person.
[ Hyoubu's a helper. That's what he is. And right now he's helping himself to a spoonful of the stew. ]
no subject
[Kaz was beginning to sound like a harassed mother with how he flustered after Hyoubu, once again trying to shoo him away by a well aimed swat at his hand with his claws, knowing at this point that he was never going to land a hit on the wily esper. Still, he could keep him away if he stayed on his toes]
If you wanna help you can start by working and not mooching! [Wow. Kaz lecturing on mooching...] So put that spoon down and get over here before I- before I burn all your hair off, nerdlinger!
no subject
[ Somehow that epithet doesn't push any of his buttons, so he simply chuckles, still clutching a spoon. ]
Speaking of working, how did you get roped into doing all this?
[ As soon as he asks the question, he thinks about three possibilities:
1. Shiho
2. Shiho
3. Shiho ]
Lose a bet?
no subject
[Kaz stuttered to a halt, suddenly looking a little sheepish. Well, he hadn't lost a bet as such, but she had discovered something he didn't really want people to know and...well. Blackmail.]
I-I just felt like it. Y'know. Test of skills. Uh, boredom? Yeah, I was bored.
no subject
I believe you.
[ Another little pause, and then: ]
So what did you need help with?
no subject
Uhm. Well, another pair of hands, I guess. [Kaz smoothed down his apron, glancing about the kitchen. It was... chaotic, with numerous projects at various states of completion] Oh, I know, you can do the salmon dish. I'll finish starting this cake, and then hopefully the curry should be done - or, was it the stew first?
[Kaz quickly consulted the mental and extremely convoluted list of what dish was put on at what time at what stage. Bel, unhelpful cretin that it was, started muttering random times and things at him. He tutted irritably]
Gah, shut up. [He lightly tapped the side of his head and turned back to the cake mix] It's the stew that's finishing first! Yup, so, um, you do salmon stuff, Hyou-Kyou.
no subject
It must be difficult.
[ — he says, finally. ]
Being trolled by your own head.
[ He has his own opinion of Bel, and where the creature should go. But Kaz has made it clear that Bel is a part of him, never to be separated, so that's that. Hyoubu doesn't have to like it, however. Hyoubu's tone is teasing, however, and superficially unsympathetic.
He punctuates the thought by rapping on Kaz's head with the spoon he's still clutching. Probably there's some stew bits still attached to it, ew. ]
How did you want the salmon prepared? Or is it up to me?
