[ It sounds like a normal evening in the household; there’s sounds of dinner cooking, that much is made obvious from the sounds coming through the SFC. It doesn’t take too long before the SFC picks up the sound of a conversation, however … ]

Huh … you know, you’d make someone a good wife.

... I think my brother said that to me once.

Really? It’s kinda true!

[dryly] Oh ha ha.

You could be our wife! [ She pauses for a moment, before her voice comes onto the SFC again, a little louder this time. ]

HEY! SHING! I FOUND US A WIFE!

Hmm? [ There’s a shuffling sound before Shing’s voice is heard again. ] ... well, I agree he does have the cooking skills for it!

[something clatters against the oven noisily] What?! Shut up! Both of you! I’ll kick both your asses, I ain’t nobody’s wife goddamnit!

Awwww, I’d love to see you try, honey, but then dinner will burn! [ She sounds like she’s taunting him, but she’s really just playing around. ]

So mean, Rin... is this why your previous husband left you? [ Oh, boy, and now that he’s picked up on the teasing he’s joining right in on that... ]

[Heeee might be growling a bit] I should just let you two brats starve!

[ Kohaku’s laughing a little. ] We love you, Rin! Really! You’re just so easy to tease ~

We only tease because we care, Rin! Don’t be so angry? Please? [There’s more shuffling, and then the sound of footsteps.]

Hng--! Let go--! ... damnit, fine! You win! Leggo so it doesn’t burn!

[ And with that and a bit of laughing, the SFC switches off. Now would be a good time for more teasing/trolling/letting them know that they were heard! ]


( ooc: purple is Kohaku, blue is Rin and red is Shing. )

[.....Siiiiigh, this always takes so long to explain.]

Soul's my best friend, he turns into a scythe which I use in battle and we live together.

You know, partners!

[voice]

[keepsthefire]

...

[WELL now he feels like an ass. Is there a good wall to bang his head against, Shing? 'cause he's gonna need it.]

Oh. Right. Yeah. Partners.

[all the awkward.]

Er... well... I guess it's not that weird...

[voice]

[heartandsoul]

Of course not! And you shouldn't have to feel like it's weird, I think being self-sufficient is something to be admired.

[voice]

[keepsthefire]

Admired... ? You really think so... ?

[voice / action]

[spiria]

You're blushing, Rin! How cute!

[voice / action]

[keepsthefire]

Wh-- N-no I'm not!

[voice]

[heartandsoul]

[Well she was going to answer that of course she does or else she wouldn't have said it, but there appears to be some interference going on.]

Rin? Are you okay?

[voice / action]

[spiria]

Oh, he's just fine! His face is just very, very red right now.

[ Behind the audio feed, she is grinning at Rin knowingly. ]

[voice / action]

[keepsthefire]

[glaring so hard Kohaku.]

It's hot in here! That's all!

[voice]

[heartandsoul]

...Oh, well maybe you should get out of the kitchen or open a window or something. Getting overheated isn't good for your health.

[voice / action]

[spiria]

[ Oh, Rin, you are so lucky that she's not that horrible. She's not gonna call out that adorable little crush you seem to be showing for Maka right now. ]

Right, right, I'll go open a window.

[voice / action]

[keepsthefire]

[... good. Better not. :| ]

... y-yeah, thanks, Kohaku. I'll be okay...

[maybe.

possibly.

how does I feelings, Maka]

[voice]

[heartandsoul]

[...Righto, that crisis averted apparently.]

Aaaanyway, I meant what I said. I don't [usually] say things I don't mean. But sorry if I said something that embarrassed you?

[voice]

[keepsthefire]

You didn't! I mean... I guess I'm just not used to people admiring me... that's all...

[especially not people he's maybe possibly starting to like as more than a friend...

Crap.

He's totally blushing again. Thankfully Kohaku has finally gone off to open a window and leave him alone for the moment.]

[voice]

[heartandsoul]

[Well. That's okay, she's not used to it either.

Except it's not used to being admired in general by people that aren't her dad.]

I guess that's just another thing you can get used to here. It sounds like you deserve a lot more credit than you get.

[voice]

[keepsthefire]

Eh... credit would be nice, but I don't cook for praise really. A friend of mine told me once that if people enjoy it, that should be enough.

[voice]

[heartandsoul]

Not just that. Do I have to give you the friendship speech again?

[Like seriously bro, seriously?]

You're kind of like a diamond in the rough, I think.

[voice]

[keepsthefire]

[if you could see the confused look he's giving his SFC right now, Maka.]

... I'm a what in the what?

[voice]

[heartandsoul]

It means you have a lot of good traits despite your outer appearance.

I guess English isn't one of those good traits, though.

[voice]

[keepsthefire]

H-hey! My English is--... well... it's passa--...

I dropped outta middle school, okay? Gimmie a break, I try damnit...

[way to focus on one thing and one thing only, Rin. Guy can't take a compliment to save his life.]

[voice]

[heartandsoul]

It's okay, I still like you. I'm going to assume that you never tried cheating through exams by writing everything on the inside of your clothes. That puts you a step above anybody I know automatically.

[voice]

[keepsthefire]

[She still likes him? Score.

Wait--...

... back to awkward again.]

... cheatin' is stupid. Even I know that. I just... suck at studying, that's all...

Re: [voice]

[heartandsoul]

[....+1 brownie points.]

Eh...I think it's fun, personally. But I guess it's not for everyone.

[voice]

[keepsthefire]

[Maka wins all the brownie points ever.]

... you do?

[... and why don't you think he's a total dumbas?]

[voice]

[heartandsoul]

[Because Black*Star is one of her closest friends. Anyone is a genius compared to Black*Star.]

Yeah, y'know, as Soul would put it I'm a nerd.
