I wrote this three years ago and still feel the urge to upload it sometimes even though I think it's a little OoC, so here you go.

"Why does your brother let that radioactive fart hang around him?"

"At least you had the decency to wait until he couldn't hear you..." Ritsu groaned, probably remembering all of times he hadn't been so lucky. Although Shou was pretty sure the Kageyama brothers agreed with him. Only Dimple got offended, and that only was because he was the one who looked like a fart in the first place.

Ritsu just got annoyed, and at this point, not even Shou was sure if he kept bringing it up because he liked annoying Ritsu and the way his eyebrows knitted together when he was trying to hold back a scowl, or just thought the guy needed to loosen up a little and admit that comparing Dimple to a fart was funny. Jokes were not Ritsu's strong point either way.

"You disagree?"

"First of all," Ritsu began with a grimace, "Dimple's a powerful evil spirit. Not a... fart."

"You look like it pains you to say that," Shou replied. "Is it because you called Dimple 'powerful' or because I made you say the word 'fart'?"

"It's because I'm talking to you."

That didn't seem like a fair answer, so naturally the first thing Shou did was demand to know why. "What's so bad about talking to me?!"

"You're being a pain."

Maybe he was just trying to subtly tell Shou they weren't as close friends as he thought. But that was nonsense, because if Ritsu really wanted to make Shou leave him alone, he would've tried to use his powers to keep him away or something. Plus, he'd just handed Shou the perfect opportunity to crack another joke.

"Like a pain... in the butt?" Shou smirked at his own joke.

The corners of Ritsu's mouth twitched, but he wasn't exactly smiling. In fact, it looked like he was trying very hard to be angry.

"Hear me out! His personality completely stinks, right?"

"Yes..."

"And nobody wants to be in the same room as him," Shou added. "Plus he's green."

"Are farts normally green?" Ritsu replied dryly.

"That's beside the point," Shou replied quickly. "He's also a ghost."

He paused, giving Ritsu a chance to catch up with his genius.

"In other words – a giant, floating ball of gas."

Ritsu pursed his lips, refusing to answer that one.

"In conclusion, Dimple is a giant, radioactive fart with a face!"

Ritsu may have smirked a little bit at that one, but he turned away so quickly it was hard to tell. His shoulders were shaking just a little bit, maybe.

"What about your bedroom wall is so interesting all of a sudden?" Shou taunted, crawling. He wanted to see for himself - whether or not Ritsu was actually smiling, that was. Not the paint job on his bare walls.

"If I told you to shut up, would you listen?"

There was a hint of amusement in Ritsu's voice, which was pretty cool, because he'd never thought of the guy as being not too uptight to make fart jokes before. Plus Ritsu had never done something so informal as telling him to "shut up" before. They were becoming better friends already!

"Nope," Shou replied cheerfully. "Farts are like opinions. I don't like holding either of them in."
