Whatever that was made me really warm. I hope I'm not poisoned or something.

[sighs, settling down in his open room with his betta fish at his bedside, a fist rubbing at his eyes and face. yeah, he's blushing, but he doesn't know why.]

{ooc; ARROW'D. approach with caution. he's a bit of a weirdo who doesn't realize a lot of things initially.}

What's poison?

[closes his eyes to rest, sighing at the relief.]

Something that kills people.

[looks like he's acquired a new ipod since their last meeting...though he doesn't seem to be taking good care of it, swinging it around by the cord of his headphones. he's only got one earbud in and he pauses for a beat as he passes the doorway, casually glancing at the new fish.]

I wouldn't doubt it. This place is weird.

[and the way he says it, weird sounds like a good thing.]

[peers up at him from behind his fingers, then sits up a little. --there's that feeling again. the skip of his heart and the new flush of heat to his cheeks. he really hopes he doesn't look like a clown, and at the same time if it is a reaction to one of his meds, he really doesn't want to have to pull them all out in front of him.]

At least I have my fishes to stay with me.

Why would anyone wanna do that?

[for now, he doesn't seem to notice, still lingering outside the doorway.]

...So you got new ones.

Oh.. I had five others. After this one died though, I found this betta in a bowl on the kitchen table.

[points to the blue fish with the fanned fins.]

[leans against the doorframe and tilts his head. his music is loud and tinny sounding coming from the earbud not pressed in his ear.]

I had a red one once.

Really? Did you name it?

[shifts a little, bringing his knees to his chest. then he's patting the makeshift bed next to himself, motioning for him to sit.]

Oh-- and please take your shoes off before coming in.

[a polite reminder.]

[smirks a little, maybe trying to supress a laugh]

Sushi. Just for the irony.

[he moves to come in and then pauses, backing up a step to toe off his shoes before entering, reaching up to pull the bud out of his ear and turn off his ipod.]

[he might be acting like an excited puppy here, shifting around every five seconds with excitement as he smiles over at the other, hands over his kneecaps.]

Heh. That's cool. I don't know what to name mine.

[sits beside him, but not too close, legs crossed indian style with his elbows resting on his knees.]

Most people name their pets after their favorite movie or video game characters or...something like that.

[shrugs, then glances over]

You hyped up on sugar or something?

Oh, um..

[quiets a little. then he's glancing over, then to himself, waving his hands embarrassedly.]

O-oh, no! I'm just.. excited for some reason. I guess after being here nothing's really crazy anymore, but.. It just feels nice to have a friend again. If I can call you that.

[he has half the mind to ask him what he means by 'crazy anymore', but he lets it go, storing the question away for a later time. instead he just nods, smiling a little]

...Yeah, that's fine.

[he's kind of glad to have a friend here, even if he won't admit it.]

H-heh.

[though this is the part where he doesn't know what to do, nuzzling his face between his knees to hide the blush.]

[shifts his gaze back to the betta and then to Roxas again]

How are your hands, by the way?

[and his gaze falters, falling down on his hands.]

They're ... okay. They still hurt a little to do some things, but I just changed the gauze and bandages yesterday.

[he doesn't seem to hesitant and just reaches out, taking one of Roxas' wrists and pulling his hand closer, much like he did when he'd taken the glass out of his palms. he inspects the bandages to make sure they've put on properly, and then lightly pats the back of his hand before he releases his wrist]

I guess you can handle yourself, huh? When you're not dropping fish and destroying ipods, I mean.

[hello, can you say red face? I can. he must be blushing like a maniac at that gesture, and it's enough to distract his eyes back to his bag and away from the subject.]

Um.. I think I might be sick or something though. I'll be right back.

[he blinks twice and then nods.]

Yeah, okay. You do look a little hot.

[and of course, by that he means temperature-wise, but he sees no need to clarify. absently, he contemplates what the other said about being poisoned, curious and slightly concerned now.]

[p-p-pause. look a little what? arrow infected mind of course needs clarification, because now he's just rubbing at his face as if it'll calm the blush.]

S-stop that!

[moreso talking to himself.]

[without a word, he gets up and leaves the room to get Roxas a glass of water.]

[he watches him go with a partly devastated look, head bowed soon after.]

... messed up again.

[he's sort of stuck between wanting to drown himself in the koi pond and pulling his hair out. instead he just presses his face to his legs, moping.]

[returns a minute or two later with the water. the ice in it clinks quietly against the glass as he sits back down next to Roxas, and he holds the drink under his nose, ducking his own head to try and see Roxas' face]

...Drink this. Might make you feel better.

[nearly leaps out of his skin when the other returns. well that was unexpected! ... a-and sweet of him. he might stare for a little, he might ask 'why are you being so nice to me?' somewhere down the road, but for now he just nods and starts guzzling the water, mindful of the ice.]

Relax, didn't mean to scare you.

[and while Roxas does that, he's going to wander over to the koi pond for a look]

[sets the cup down with a shiver crawling up his spine. phe~w. that did calm him down quite a bit. instead of saying anything though, he'll keep the peaceful silence, smiling a little over at him.]

[crouches down near the small pond, one arm rested on his knee. he watches in silence as the koi swim around and then glances back over his shoulder]

Where did you get them?

I didn't.

[smirks, shrugging.]

They were here in this room before I came here. I just decided to make this my bedroom because it's really pretty and the ceiling is tall, too.

[smirks up at the sky light, showing bright day.]

[he shifts a little so he can sit instead of crouch, leaning his weight back on one hand. he's not envious, no. not even a little]

First room I've seen like this. I guess you got lucky.

[laughs a little, peering back into the pond.]

..So do these ones not have names either, or is it just the betta?

Mm.. if you want to stay sometime, there's a lot of room for another bed.

[nods. his bed is only made of pillows and layers of blankets in the corner of the room. he wanders over to the pond and settles next to him, pointing out.]

The (http://i37.tinypic.com/ev6of7.jpg) orange one's name is Smoothie, the yellow one's name is Sunny, the yellow-with-white's name is Banana Split, um.. the silver one's name is Riku 'cause he reminds me of the silver haired guy. The orange one with black spots is named Pepper, and the orange faced one with the white and black was Buddy. ... but yeah.

[clears his throat.]

[shakes his head at the offer, because he wasn't implying anything and he doesn't want to seem like he was, either. he listens quietly as Roxas begins naming off the fish, trying to spot each one as he mentions it, and when he gets to Buddy, he glances up at Roxas.]

Sorry I couldn't save him..

It's okay. It's my fault. I should've found a smaller tank.

[smiles a little somberly down at the fish, reaching in to place his palm flat on the water's surface and watch them swim up and nip at it.]

[not about to play the blame game or start a pity party, so he stays quiet, just watching the other.]

[and he laughs a little.]

Try it. It really tickles.

[and so he reaches out and lowers his palm onto the surface of the water, smiling a little as one or two of the fish swim over. it doesn't really tickle, but it sure does feel weird.]
