[ 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. )

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

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

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

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

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.]

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.

[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...

[....+1 brownie points.]

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

[Maka wins all the brownie points ever.]

... you do?

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

[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.

[Well there is that...]

Oh. ... you're a cool nerd, though. 'least I think you are.

[Theeere's that blush again.]

[Congratulations, Rin, now SHE'S blushing.]

Oh...th-thanks. Nobody's ever really--

[AHEM.] Never mind.

[... score.]

It's true though! One of the coolest nerds I've ever met, anyway.

You're pretty cool too.

[Coolest guy with a tail she's ever met at least. Maybe cooler than Soul, even.

Wow wait what.]

[Double score!]

You think so?

[Man, take that all the girls at school who thought he was a loser punk!]

Thanks, Maka!

[...So now she's starting to notice that this conversation is making her FEEL things. Things that she's not sure that she wants to burden a friend with, since he's clearly just being nice.

There's a silence before Maka says anything again.]

Um...I should go...I don't want to distract you guys from your meal. ...B-bye.

[Click!]

Eh--!

...

[Rin stares at his SFC, clearly confused.]

... did... I say something wrong...?
