[ CLOSED ] FOR HEERO

"Listen, Heero, go pack up Wing and start sleepin' here. It makes no sense for me to have a bedroom I'm not even using anyways.." That's how all of this had started, anyways. At least before they'd gone to collect Heero's small collection of things, and had to carry them from one place to another. Thankfully Heero wasn't as much of a pack rack as he was, and the moving hadn't taken too long but.. the whole getting used to another body in his space might take a little while, again. Thankfully he was used to having Heero around, and he was a quiet roommate, so there wasn't much to bother with when it came to getting annoyed or anything stupid like that. Mostly, he's going to have to get used to having Wing and Deathscythe in one place and one apartment, which meant a little bit of chaos when they had first started settling in. Gundams messing around with each other started out cute -

Until thermal weapons started being used. And then it was a huge risk to life and limb.

Thankfully they'd been easily separated, and their weapons hidden away, and the apartment had settled in to a quiet place once again. At leat until Duo decided that it was dinner time, and -

"Heero? Any preference for dinner?"

[ OPEN ] IN THE STREETS

There's Duo, his backpack slung on his back as usual, filled with some of the things that Heero would let him carry, a box in his arms. They're moving like teenage boys on a mission, at least, but after the whole beach episode everyone seems to be out and about so.. it calls for a few stops and "excuse mes" from time to time. Or just, you know, the occasional bump in to someone if he was too busy trying to navigate around one person for avoiding another -

- So forgive him if he gives you a little jostle, ok?

 

 

[ OPEN ] GROCERY SHOPPING

Legitimately fresh fruits and vegetables are still such a novelty to a kid that's used to freeze dried or transported foods that were just.. not quite up to snuff for most people who had never lived on a space colony before. So, after he'd done helping his war buddy unpack and leaves him to get things organized as he wants them - he's back at the grocery stores and markets that he can find along the way, picking up and examining things and probably taking more than a few taste tests until -

Oops - bumping in to someone with a little grunt of surprise, dropping the pomegranate in his hands. "Shit - my bad! You didn't drop anything, did you?"

Comments

[braidedwonder]

"I wouldn't go that far." Not that Kaneda was bad looking, just Duo was very content to be a contrary little asshole for the good of the whole planet, right then.Especially after having greasy weenies shoved in his face - he'd eaten a lot of shit in his life, but -

- oh fine. He'll pick one up just to give it a try. And thank his stars for a pretty iron solid stomach.

"I don't remember ever sayin' that we were."

[sayonaradumbass]

Kaneda can't look any more pleased at the fact Duo is listening to him. It's not like it's his cooking either? So all of this shouldn't matter. Here he is, anyway.

"But you didn't say we ain't. So there! Unspoken bro code."

[braidedwonder]

They're not.. bad.. but not necessarily so tasty that he might put down a fruit or two in order to take them home with him to show Heero. Maybe it was just the fact tat he was used to things like jerky, when it came to meat, instead of things like this, but something told him that the only difference was that the weenie wasn't dehydrated. Otherwise, it was similar enough for him.

But he was also very inexperienced in these things.

"Unspoken.. what?" Skeptical, at best, Kaneda. "Sounds like your way of gathering people you can call friends whether they approve or not."

[sayonaradumbass]

"Bro code! Or I guess weirdo space code where you're from..."

More for him, regardless. Kaneda does indeed spend some time loading his stupid hands full of the stuff, and stuffing his face. "It's all about being a leader. Charming charisma."

[braidedwonder]

"I don't know if you know a damn thing about bein' a leader. A pain in the ass, yeah, but a leader?" Maybe Duo is just a hard ass, but really, he's not seeing it so far, Kaneda. Granted, the kind of leaders Duo is used to are purely military, so he might want to cut Kaneda a big break based on that point alone.

- Well, and Quatre. But not everything can be a cute blonde with a steel will.

[sayonaradumbass]

"Yeah, the leader of the Capsules. You probably ain't had a leader as cool and keen as me, that's alright. I'll forgive ya this time."

For you know, hurting his pride and all.

[braidedwonder]

"What the fuck are the Capsules? Never heard'a that in my life." C'mon Kaneda, give him a little less to work with here. Duo's aware that he's being pretty brutal in the moment, but when it's so god damn easy to do it's a little hard to not want to give Kaneda some shit just because.

[sayonaradumbass]

"My gang, smartass. Course you ain't heard of em...you're from the future. The far off future. My legends are probably all in computers now anyhow."

Just...letting that...roll off his back like water off a ducks back...

[braidedwonder]

"Not that I've ever seen." Oh, Duo is enjoying ribbing him a little too much. But when Kaneda made it so easy to do.. was he supposed to just ignore his chance to give him some shit or something? That just wasn't any kind of fun that Duo wanted to have.

So instead he might just pluck up one more of those wienies, just because he couldn't wuss out now, and shrugs his shoulders.

"Meh. I think I'm gonna stick with my fruits still."

[sayonaradumbass]

"Get the crust outta your eyes, my man. Time to see the light...and get your head outta your ass." HE CAN TELL he's enjoying this. Kaneda juffs.

A shrug in return: "More for me."
