AIM: There's something happenin' but don't be scared [Complete] Who: Nero (devilbringer) and Cloud (chocobo_head) What: After hanging out with Vash, Cloud meets a grumpy and frustrated Nero in the gym and they talk. And talk. And talk. Till Cloud almost collapses. Not kidding on that one, sadly. When: Yesterday? Where: Gym (or what's left of it), cafeteria, then elevator and a random room. Warnings: Language, for Nero's mouth isn't exactly the cleanest. OMFG TWO BISHONEN WHO AREN'T HUMPING EACH OTHER TO DEATH? Sorry, fangirls XP. Grumpiness and character sickness. And wibbly cuteness, I suppose.
*after commenting about how buying the chocobo egg made Cloud in a better mood, Nero refuses to take responsibility for his bad mood before:*
Nero: Not my fault you were all pissy >|
Cloud: It is! took you long enough and... whatever.
Nero: Look, I'm sorry, okay! I had something to take care of first...
Cloud: *levels his hand between him and Nero* Talk to the hand.
Nero: *rolls eyes and twacks his hand* What the hell...
Cloud: *open and closes his hand as if it was a duck* ... hey I'm joking...
Nero: *grumbles* You sure have some way of joking... *goes take his sword out of the (rest of the) wall*
Cloud: *shrugs*
Nero: *almost trips on the debris* What got you in a good mood, anyway?
Cloud: Careful... hum... I don't know what you talking about~
Nero: Yes, you do. *sits on a bench that got immune to the destruction* First you're all exploding on me saying how unfair I am, and now you come here joking? Did the talk with Vergil go that well?
Cloud: Vergil? ah.. right, no, it wasn't that. He just kept talking... I just listened.
Nero: ...sounds like him alright. So what else happened?
Cloud: ..about?
Nero: ...what, didn't you go out afterwards?
Cloud: ...sleep.
Nero: Huh. Good for you... *hasn't been able to sleep at all*
Cloud: You should get some rest, and a bath... *makes a face*
Nero: *glare* I showered before coming here.
Cloud: Obviously you haven't done that after being here all day long...
Nero: Well excuse me for just finishing now.
Cloud: I forgive you... I hope the shower does too... *waits for the hit to come*
Nero: *throws him a brick*
Cloud: *catches it and grins* Careful idiot.
Nero: Well, fine, since His Holiness keeps complaining, I'm going to take a shower. Make yourself comfortable, 'cause it's going to be a LONG ONE. *goes to the locker-room and takes his sweaty shirt off and throws it at his face when passing by him*
Cloud: EEEEEEEEEW.... Nero... ... Dante was right you do smell like a girl... *throws the the shirt away and waits for his reaction*
Nero: ...WELL DANTE SMELLS LIKE A FRIGGIN' BULL. All that leather. Che...
Cloud: You certainly know how he smells... and k-- Nero, I was joking, you definitely don't smell nice... and forget it, never as a girl, that's for sure.
Nero: Well, I don't know, you both seem so focused on reminding me that I'm girly for this or that. *muttermutters* Why do I put up with you two, I don't know. Now let me take a shower?
Cloud: *snorts* Yeah yeah, I just like teasing you from whatever Dante tells you, nothing else. *makes a shoo movement with his hand* yeah yeah, whatever.
Nero: *snorts back* Hmph, what, can't come up with your own teasers? *goes inside the locker room and starts the shower*
Cloud: ...guess not... *shrugs for himself and waits*
Nero: *comes back, rubbing a towel on his hair and wearing baggy jeans and a t-shirt* There, happy, or do I need to put on some eau de toilette or some shit?
Cloud: It'd be a good idea... .... ... don't be stupid *snort*
Nero: Good. Now c'mon. I need to fetch something to drink. I need sugar.
Cloud: *nods and follows*
Nero: So did anything happen while I was... you know. Did you help in coloring people?
Cloud: *swallows* ...in a way...
Nero: *grabs a can of soda and opens it* What...?
Cloud: *shakes his head* I didn't help many really...
Nero: But you did help...
Cloud: *shrugs* I tried.
Nero: Huh?
Cloud: Nothing..
Nero: C'mon, man, what happened?
Cloud: *sighs* I couldn't get colours from someone the way I thought it'd help... but that doesn't matter anymore, helping Asuka... it wasn't that... pleasant to tell the truth, and Sally... well that went well... *shrugs*
Nero: Seems like that kind of process has to be unpleasant at all... *shifts a little*
Cloud: it wasn't like that for everybody as far as I know.
Nero: Yeah? I took a look around and most people weren't exactly happy with the way they turned back... but I might have missed some.
Cloud: Mmm.
Nero: Hm?
Cloud: *shrugs*
Nero: With the amount of shrugging you do, it's no wonder you can carry that heavy-ass sword.
Cloud: ... ... *blinks* See? everything has a reason... ... *looks away embarrassed because of the comment*
Nero: *nudges him* I was kidding, man, lighten up.
Cloud: Huh... sure.
Nero: What. Why are you so embarrassed about, now?
Cloud: Eh?...
Nero: You looked away. You kinda do that when you get embarrassed.
Cloud: Mmm it's nothing... since its forbidden to shrug now...
Nero: I was kidding, you idiot, you can shrug all you like.
Cloud: *snorts* it's now like I was about to stop doing it...
Nero: Uh huh... now tell me. I know it's not "nothing".
Cloud: *blinks at him* ...what? Really it is.
Nero: You sure?
Cloud: Positive.
Nero: Okay, then.
Cloud: Now what about you?
Nero: ...what about me?
Cloud: I'm the grumpy one, not you.
Nero: ......yeah, and? *shifts on his chair*
Cloud: *rises an eyebrow* Why are you so... like me? *snorts*
Nero: I can't be in a bad mood, now? *pouts*
Cloud: *holds his laugh* Sorry, sorry, it's fine.
Nero: *bristles* What's so funny?
Cloud: You, obviously.
Nero: Why?
Cloud: *cant hold anymore and burts into laugh* Your face man.
Nero: *grumbles* What about my face? *glare*
Cloud: Man you are so angry at something... its so unlike you, you look funny, and bratty... that's about it.
Nero: I DON'T LOOK BRATTY.
Cloud: Want me to get you mirror?
Nero: No.
Cloud: Aright then.
Nero: *crosses arms*
Cloud: *cracks his neck relaxing a bit* Nero?
Nero: ...hm?
Cloud: Will you be ok?
Nero: ...*frowns* Why wouldn't I be?
Cloud: *was about to shrug but doesn't* Just wondering...
Nero: .....*sighs and makes the chair swing back and forth* Yeah, I'll be okay.... *not sounding very sure of that*
Cloud: ... why do you let him get you like that?
Nero: *blinks* Huh?
Cloud: It's obvious its about Dante, what else could get you so worked up like that?
Nero: .... heh. *rubs his nose and averts his eyes* So what else is new?
Cloud: ... *looks at him for a moment then sighs* Well.. by being enclosed here you missed to see me with blue hair... and ... purple and green clothes... and the bike was pink... *snorts softly*
Nero: . . . .your bike was pink? How?
Cloud: A curse obviously, or something, I don't know. If you had stepped outside today... maybe you wouldn't be that grumpy...
Nero: Well, too bad, I guess. XP Though I'd love to see you with blue hair and a pink bike.
Cloud: Did you find a room yet? *stretches*
Nero: It's not like I had time nor patience... *scratches his head*
Cloud: Humm... don't stay here again. Ok? Find a damn room...
Nero: I will... *nods*
Cloud: *suddenly feels very tired and sits next to Nero*
Nero: ..... *takes a sip from his soda and just leans against him, tired*
Cloud: *rubs his arm absently and makes a face then sighs*
Nero: *notices* You okay? *offers a bit of soda?*
Cloud: huh?.. yeah.. Just a bit tired... *takes the soda and drinks a bit* ....*blinks* ... cherry?....
Nero: Y'sure? *shifts against him to get more comfortable and...blinks* What, no, wtf, Lemon.
Nero: *grabs the can and takes a sip* .....no, man, it's... *looks at the can* Cherry-lemon? What the fuck is this?
Cloud: *snorts* What does it taste to you right now?
Nero: It tastes like lemon to me. *takes another sip* Yeah?
Cloud: ... *blinks* Let me see that.
Nero: *gives the can again*
Cloud: *drinks a bit* ...cherry man...
Nero: ...*blinkblink* You serious? I don't even like cherry.
Cloud: *shrugs lighlty* I don't know... *gives it back again*
Nero: I seriously don't. *takes another sip* Yeah, tastes like lemon to me. D'ya think this is something to do with the building here?
Cloud: I suppose...
Nero: Meh. *throws the can at the bin by the wall and doesn't miss* SCORE!
Cloud: *didn't notice because was too busy trying not to fall asleep*
Nero: ...*looks* Dude. You should go to bed.
Cloud: Huh? I'm fine.
Nero: You were about to fall asleep, man. You okay?
Cloud: Hum, yeah.
Nero: You don't look okay. *places his hand on his forehead*
Cloud: I'm fine... geez Nero you are cold *shoves his hand away gently*
Nero: ...no, I'm not, Cloud. You're the one who's practically burning.
Cloud: ... it was your soda...
Nero: No, it wasn't. Cloud, I'm not stupid. What the hell is going on?
Cloud: *too tired* Hm... you got me.
Nero: What the... you're sick, aren't you?
Cloud: *looks away* I guess that's obvious.
Nero: But... what... *frowns* how long have you been carrying yourself like this?
Cloud: Long enough.
Nero: Geez. C'mon. You shouldn't be walking like this with a fever. *tugs him up*
Cloud: I've done it, don't worry. *lets him help him*
Nero: I'm not saying that you can't, I'm saying that you shouldn't. C'mon, I'm taking you to your room.
Cloud: *leans against him and starts walking* ...I'm sorry...
Nero: *holds him by the shoulders* Sorry for what?
Cloud: For... hm... nevermind.
Nero: For what, idiot? C'mon... *tugs him to the elevator and lets him lean against the wall* Do you even know how you got sick?
Cloud: ... *lets his head fall over his collarbone and shakes his head*
Nero: Shit, you really got it bad... *hugs him* What the hell, Cloud...
Cloud: I just want to sleep...
Nero: We're getting there, alright? Just hold on...
Cloud: *mumbles something and grabs his arm*
Nero: Fuck, what am I going to do with you? *picks him up and carries him to his room*
Cloud: Put me down... it's going to break...
Nero: What is going to break? *doesn't even reach Cloud's room and decides to kick the nearest door open*
Cloud: The egg...
Nero: The egg? *settles him down on the bed and takes off his boots* What egg?
Cloud: *opens his shirt a little and takes the little chocobo egg that got ealier* At least it's going to be warm... *sad smile*
Nero: ...geez, don't look like that. *takes the egg and places it on a pillow* Just wait a second... *goes get a wet towel and folds it on his forehead* C'mon, you gotta know what's wrong with you, right? This doesn't look like it's a simple fever...
Cloud: *looks away then closes his eyes* Keep it warm.
Nero: Shit, you're more concerned about the egg than yourself? You idiot. Geez. *rubs his nose and goes get a blanket for the egg*
Cloud: Thanks...
Nero: *drapes the blanket on and around the egg and sits on the bed* Just doing my job, stupid. Now either tell me what's this mysterious disease or go to sleep and leave me to find it by myself. C'mon. *dabs the towel on his temple and forehead*
Cloud: Good luck with that...
Nero: *smirks lightly* Don't worry, I'll get it done.
Cloud: Zack...?
Nero: Huh? *frowns* No, Canary... it's Nero... *strokes his hair* Geez...
Cloud: ...huh... Nero...
Nero: *snorts weakly* No need to sound so disappointed...
