E-Dating (til I come up with a better title)

Warnings: Slash, that means boyxboy lovin'. May include sexual content in the form of limes and lemons, because us slash writers and readers are very kinky people at heart; as well, mild cursing, adult content and all that other fun stuff.

Summary: So this has been sitting in my files collecting dust for over a year now. I thought I'd brush it off and attempt to complete it. Basically Rei is coerced into signing up for a dating website by a mischievous, stubborn Mao, and meets someone he doesn't expect. Alas, nothing good ever comes from meddling, but maybe something good can be salvaged. This is AU so… yeah… and also there is a high chance of OOC occurring…so please be kind and…review -rewind rhymes so much better but doesn't quite get my point across. On with the story!

The blinking cursor flashed in tune to the music playing in the background. Darkness surrounded the young man swaying his head to the faint melody he was listening to and he smiled as an msn window popped up.
crimson destruction says: Hi.
The dark haired man's eyes flashed and he responded, his fingers whipping across the keyboard excitedly.
tiger eyes says: Hi there.
crimson destruction says: So your name is Rei? I'm Kai.
tiger eyes says: Nice to meet you, Kai.
And that was how it began. The dark haired man, Rei Kon, decided through the steady persuasion of his dear childhood friend, Mao, to sign up for a dating website. The idea was quite stupid but as Mao kept saying, "You're too depressed and cynical lately, you need someone." So it was decided that he should get on a dating website already and find the love of his life.
'Ha,' he thought, 'Easier said than done.' He could still remember the first person that had contacted him, saying he was attracted by the ingenuity of his bio. Rei sighed. What does a bio really say about a person? How can you sum up everything about a person in a few short sentences? So essentially, you want to say the best things about yourself to make a good impression. Well, clearly he'd done that. After the first week, over thirty people had added him and wanted to meet him.
Rei clicked the mouse button a few times and led himself back to the thing that started all the trouble. That damned bio. He inspected it for any errors, as he was always so keen on doing.
'Hello, my name is Rei Kon. I am a twenty-five year old elementary school teacher with a degree in Visual Arts. I enjoy gymnastics, karate, travelling, fine dining, and quiet chats in trees. I am open-minded, honest, and loyal.'
Other pieces of information were added in a list beneath the introduction, revealing his birthday, sex, other interests, ideal first date and location. The last one worried him a little, as he was somewhat of a private person who wasn't quite interested in having that revealed.
He waved the mouse cursor over it and sighed. A noise startled him out of his thoughts; it was that 'crimson destruction' person again. He narrowed his eyes, this one was persistent. Usually, Rei ran out of things to talk about and whoever he was talking to would skitter off and leave him alone.
crimson destruction says: So why did you sign up for this website?
tiger eyes says: Um…pretty much the same reason anyone else does. To date.
crimson destruction says: Some people don't sign up just for that. Some are creeps. Had that not occurred to you?
tiger eyes says: Of course it had! What do you think?! Do you think I'm stupid?! Honestly… Anyways, I know how to be careful and all that.
crimson destruction says: Are you sure?
tiger eyes says: What are you, my mother?
crimson destruction says: No. Just trying to be friendly is all.
tiger eyes says: Well you suck at it.
crimson destruction says: Oh really? And you don't? You're certainly being rude towards someone who is just being concerned.
tiger eyes says: Well I can take care of myself, thank you very much. I have to go…cook something now. Bugger off!
crimson destruction says: Lol, talk to you later.
tiger eyes has logged off.
Rei shoved the black keyboard back into the desk from whence it came and angrily made his way towards the kitchen. He pulled out a pot, filled it with water and set it on the stove to boil, all the while mutter about stupid 'crimson destruction's' pissing him off.
A small teen with bright fuchsia hair peered over to her troubled friend from the television.
"What's wrong Rei-Rei?"
"It's this stupid…person on that ridiculous dating website you made me sign up for."
"Person? You don't even know if it's a guy or girl?"
"Shut up, Mao," Rei crossed his arms and glared venomously.
Mao pouted and batted her eyes childishly. With a sigh, the angry young man stomped off to his room, locking the door behind him.
Mao pressed a finger thoughtfully to her chin and bit her lip. A smirk slowly graced her lips and she strolled smugly into the office to the computer. She sat down, turned on the computer, and accessed the msn window. She rolled the mouse cursor, quickly typing in Rei's email and password, which she had discovered long ago, back when she spied on him for entertainment.
The pink haired teen scrolled down the list of contacts, trying to figure out who it was Rei was pissed off with. Suddenly an msn bubble popped up, someone named 'crimson destruction' was beckoning.
crimson destruction says: Back so soon.
Mao wasn't sure whether she should pretend she was Rei or just say she was his hacker friend (which she was of course) so she played as Rei for a little while.
tiger eyes says: Of course, I can't let a vague entity on the computer intimidate me.
crimson destruction says: Hn.
tiger eyes says: So why are you pissing me off?
crimson destruction says: I wasn't trying to do that really. I was trying to be friendly.
tiger eyes says: Well then why the hell did Rei come storming out and start boiling water??
Mao bit her lip as she realized what she'd just done. 'Oh well, guess I'll just have to deal with the consequences.'
Crimson destruction says: Who is this?
Tiger eyes says: Just a friend of Rei's. His roommate. I'm sort of the one who pushed him into doing this, signing up for this and all.
Crimson destruction says: Oh. I see. So…why are you on his msn?
Tiger eyes says: Well I was trying to find out who got him so riled up, he's usually pretty cool-headed about things, doesn't let anything get to him.
Crimson destruction says: Hn.
Mao's ears perked up when she heard a faint splashing sound. 'Oh shit! The boiling water!'
Tiger eyes says: Gotta go, bye.
And she quickly logged out and ran to the kitchen. She turned off the burner and yelled towards Rei's room, "If you're going to boil water for gods know what, then at least keep an eye on it so it doesn't boil over!"
She sighed and tore open a bag of dried noodles and dumped them in the scalding water. Rei came into the kitchen a few moments later looking sheepish, "Ah, sorry Mao. Kinda forgot."
"Well next time you 'forget' to watch the water, I'll conveniently 'forget' to drive you to work when it's raining," she threatened.
The dark haired man shuddered, he hated the rain. So he nodded and took over cooking the noodles.

a/n: so I haven't written anything on here in years…literally. My obsession with Harry Potter (and finding I didn't feel like I belonged to the guild of HP writers) prevented me from writing my own work, as well as, a myriad of other things. So here we go. I've only got a small bit more written for this story, don't know where it's headed and am completely open to ideas and anyone who wishes to co-write alongside with me.
NOTE: I am in first year university (again), I transferred from my last school and program to a new school. So I may be busy more often than not but if someone's will to commit to writing this fic along with me, please tell me and we'll keep each other on track.
