Hope you enjoyed that first introductory chapter. It gets better, I promise!

Chapter 2: Minor Miscalculations

"It's ugly. It's too grown-up looking."

T sighed, carefully setting the new suit down.

"What do you mean too grown-up looking?"

R's brows were knitted together in stubborn anger, a cowlick of hair hanging moodily over one eye.

"Only adults wear stuff like that."

"Well, I wear it and I'm twenty-three!"

"Well, YEAH, but you look like the type that can't hold a girl for more than ten minutes, na no da. I can smell stuff like that..."

A vein appeared near T's forehead as he curled his hand into a fist. Boy, was this kid difficult...

T had had to drag him kicking and screaming into the shooting room, where instead of shooting monsters like all of the other cool kids R had cried and complained loudly clinging to T's pantleg. When given the gun to hold, he had insisted that he didn't like it, dropped it, and they had all found out the hard way that the safety was, in fact, not on as Agent L was going home with a shot foot. Deciding to save shooting for another time, T then had to forcefully push R into the LRM (Lunch Reviewal Machine) and only after buckling and strapping him in, he had said he had to go to the bathroom. NOW. After a quick trip to the restroom, it was more kicking and screaming into the LRM (again) and when finally strapped in (again), R insisted that, "Kumagorou couldn't ride the ride because you had to be this tall to get on it, na no da." ... He said this AFTER T had gotten into the control booth. Grabbing the plushie from the machine, T had yelled enough was enough and like it or not it was time to start the machine. In response, R had sung Barbie Bitch at the top of his lungs, replacing Barbie with T and she/her to he/him, kicking his feet to the music. He broke the LRM. After apologizing PROFUSELY to K (who wasn't listening because R was making faces over T's shoulder), T had moved onto the gadgets room. R was suspiciously quiet throughout the tour, and when T turned around to see why it was because R was not there. Agent C had been stupid enough to taunt him and take the precious pink plushie, and had paid for it severely. When T got there to restrain a furious R, C had a broken nose and was suffering a concussion brought on by a nearby and handy desk lamp. He got the day off and went home. A little peeved that R had managed to send home two of their toughest agents in his hour and forty-five minutes of arrival, T decided it would be a good time to try on suits. And now, apparently, they were, "Too adult."

"It's mandatory. You HAVE to wear one."

"Well, let me speak to this man Datory, and give him a piece of my mind!"

"You have to wear it!"

"No."

"BUT YOU HAVE-"

"Na NO da."

T ground his teeth, wishing all of a sudden a giant anvil would crash down on his new partner like in the cartoons.

"Fine. Parade around in your khakis and cheap Gap shirt," He snapped irritably.

"I will," R's response was defiant.

T growled, storming out of the locker rooms, up the stairs, and into his small workspace. He was trying to be good, hoping that K would notice and fianlly give him that office that overlooked the city along with a promotion, but no such luck yet. Frowning, he began to work on R's personal business.

T leaned back in his chair, pulling his hat over his eyes and massaging his temples. He needed a nice big sundae right now. With extra fudge and whipped cream... the chocolate syrup oozing down the sides as it collected in a sticky puddle at the bottom of the bowl-

"T?"

"AHH!"

CRASH!

R smiled down at T.

"T, chairs are made for sitting, silly billy..."

T threw his hat from his face, eyes red with murder.

"R, DO NOT-"

He stopped mid rant. R was, grudgingly, wearing his suit. R nibbled Kumagorou's ear nervously and toed the ground.

"Does-does it look alright?"

T nodded.

"Yeah, it looks great. Now, if we could just clean you up you could look pretty handsome."

Awkward silence...

"I mean decent! Decent not hand- not handcent- uhh... I meant dehandcent- Coffee?"

"REALLY!? YOU'LL LET ME HAVE COFFEE FOR REAL?!"

T nodded, feeling faint.

God, put this kid in a suit and you fall for him...

Meanwhile...

"NO, NOT THAT ONE, THE OTHER ONE-"

EXPLODE! ((A/N Don't you love anomatopias!?))

Silence... ((A/N There it is again! Squee!))

"Oh my gosh! Y!? Y, are you okay?!"

"Agent S, step away from me before I do something unnecesary..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I thought it was the other-"

"Well, obviously it wasn't otherwise our car would not be blown to bits right now... Damn brat..."

"I'm sorry..."

Y lit up a cigarette, wiping the soot and ash from his face, trying to remain calm. S had been his assigned partner for a little over two weeks now, and the first time he had seen him he had not been afraid to voice his opinions to K. One word, just one word was all that needed to be said about the situation. "NO." K made up some lame excuse, like he always did, about budget being low and new partners being crucial to the MiB incorporation. Nevertheless, Y had complained persistently by face to face, phone, letter, e-mail, and the ever popular TEXT messaging. K deleted or discarded of all of them without a second, or first, glance.

But back to the problem in the flesh. The pink haired Chihuahua yapped nonstop, whined piteously, cried, and EVEN told Y that smoking was bad for your health. NO ONE told Y not to smoke.

NO ONE.

He had grudgingly put up with S and his antics, but Y found himself awake at night wondering just how (HOW) much more he could take. He knew he probably had it better than T who had that steak loving bitch M, who just happened to be Y's sister.

"Hn," One of Y's amused sounds. S looked up at him, eyes tearful and big.

"I really am sorry, Y! It-it won't happen again, I promise! I'll do better-"

"Shut up, you're giving me a headache."

S shut up, mentally cheering. When Y told him to shut up it meant he was forgiving him in his own Y way! ... right? Y took a long drag of his cigarette and exhaled loudly, blowing smoke out of his nose.

"Give me your phone. My Katana is out of batteries."

"Wha- Oh, right," S fumbled in his pocket, eager to please. He handed Y the ... pink RAZR ... and smiled wide. Y regarded the pink phone, and looked at S who looked at his shoes and mumbled.

"It was a present, okay..."

"Hn," Y announced as he flipped the phone open. The ONLY contacts S had on his phone were Mommyhome, Mommycell, Mommyoffice, Mommyfax, Mommyemergency, Hirohome, Hirocell, and California Pizza along with Panda Express take out numbers.

"...hn."

Luckily, Y knew T's cell by evil cold sadistic heart. Ignoring the brat's string of babble, he dialed.

Whoo, there's a long one for ya! Hope you enjoy. R&R please, as always!
