ITP: Boys with no shirts on

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

[Ri finally has all the bandages off his now-fully-healed arm, so of course the first thing he's going to do is strain it by heading to the nearest training room for a good workout. He's got his hands wrapped because right now he's busy beating the crap out of a punching bag. Do ignore the winces as he punches with his left arm; he certainly is. Though maybe someone should tell him to take a break, or drink some water, or something.]

[ Almost, almost calls out Riku, but thinks against it. After a moment or two of wincing (geez, that's gotta hurt) he walks up to him, a few paces behind the punching bag, to hold it still. ]

Uh, hey... you look pretty tired. Maybe you should take a break.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he wasn't expecting to be interrupted, but pulls his punches to the bag, wiping his brow on his wrist since he isn't wearing a shirt, and breathing a little heavily*

Nah... I'm good for awhile yet.

[boyishkeys.livejournal.com]

[ He frowns, rubbing a hand through his hair. ]

You sure? Your arm...

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he blinks and looks at his left arm; it probably doesn't look that good, even though it's fully healed*

What's wrong with my arm? I took all the bandages off today.

[boyishkeys.livejournal.com]

[ He leans in close, and waves a hand in front of his eyes. ]

Can't you see? It's not really normal. Did'ja hurt it?

because you can't meet tinyRi without meeting Ri.

[Even, in a place of physical activity? Preposterous! Barring the fact that his being there is completely illogical, the point is the 8| look on his face and the quip from the doorway as he watches Ri flinch over and over:]

Injuring yourself further is a poor choice. [he cannot resist nitpicking, even to strangers--]

oic is that your reasoning? XD

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he looks over at you with a glare, taking a quick sniff of the air to make sure of your Darkness level before he judges whether to attack or not*

Your face is a poor choice.

well, chat also told me to.

[...Mature young people. Even's favorite thing. Have a derisive half-laugh.]

You're clever. In all seriousness, you oughtn't irritate it like that. [a gesture at the arm.]

DAMN YOU CHAT *shakes fist*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Someone with your face is the reason why my arm is irritated.

they're enablers. 8c

[Yep, so, Even's opinion on these Vexen guys just steadily drops. Sigh.]

Taking it out on me wouldn't do anything for you.

[pause. if he winds up doing this every time someone says a Vexen misbehaved--] I'm sorry my doppelgangers are all, evidently, unstable.

[dawnrise]

[Surprise! You have an observer leaning against the door.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*your scent is familiar so he just keeps on punching the bag, grunting with the strain*

[dawnrise]

[It should be! She doesn't intend to interrupt him yet, but she does slowly make her way over.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*you can probably hear his breathing as he trains, his eyes flickering towards you*

You... gonna train...?

[dawnrise]

Maybe.

[She's not so sure now, with him in here. Surprise surprise, her eyes are still bright orange.]

[asilencedlife.livejournal.com]

[oh hey. you're the oldest-looking Riku he's seen so far, even if you're not a Riku. shouldn't that mean you'd know when to stop training before you hurt yourself?]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*of course not, because he's a Ri*

[asilencedlife.livejournal.com]

[he'll come over and try to get your attention then, gesturing questioningly at your arm]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he pauses in his workout and blinks at you, a bit confused*

Huh? Did you want a turn?

[asilencedlife.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head, pointing at Ri's arm again. is that a bite mark? whatever happened, it doesn't look too good]

*Sora might be watching you kind of obsessively from the corner*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he knows you're there because he knows your scent, and so tries to hide the little winces a bit better :/ he doesn't want you to worry*

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*after a moment, he comes closer, holding a couple bottles of water and a towel, smiling and looking impressed, if a little worried*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*drat, he didn't hide the winces well enough; but he gives you a smile and accepts a bottle of water*

... time for me to have a break, huh?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*smiles and puts the other things on the chair, standing on tip toes and stretching a bit -- he's dressed in his workout clothes as well, dark blue sweat pants and a white t-shirt that's a little tighter than normal -- someone's in the midst of another growth spurt*

Sure. Just stay hydrated. I was going to work out with you.

*... and keep an eye on you*
