Just a Simple Word: Omake 1; Panda
January 18, 2009
It had started off as a normal day for Francis. After he had spent an hour fixing up his hair (despite what most people thought, he didn't wake up with perfect, bouncy, golden locks) he got on the bus and sat next to Gil like always.
What he did not expect was for Gilbert to utter the most interesting, hilarious, naughty gossip he had heard all semester (true the semester had just started, but good gossip knew no time).
"You know that Russian guy, Ivan?" Gilbert had exclaimed the moment Francis sat down. Francis arched a perfect eyebrow.
"The guy who got drunk at the Christmas party and started smashing the furniture with a pipe?" Francis asked.
"Yeah, that's the guy!" Gil answered. "And you know Yao?"
Yao, the Chinese boy in their year who had a passion *cough* fetish *cough* for cute things.
"Yes, I know them both. Now tell me vhat has happened!" Francis said, now very curious.
Gilbert started laughing at the very thought. It was just too funny.
"Well …" Gil began after regaining his composure (Or as much composure as he usually had, which was practically non-existent).
"Ivan was totally, completely, undeniably stalking Yao yesterday!" Gilbert said before starting to laugh again. Francis chuckled.
"And that's not even the best part!" Gil said, an obnoxious smile spread wide across his face. Francis grinned and leaned in towards the German.
"He was wearing . . ." Gil dropped his voice a little.
"A PANDA SUIT!"
There was a moment of silence.
"Surely you must ve joking!" Francis said, partly shocked, partly amused out of his mind.
"I swear, I saw it with my own eyes, kesesese!" Gilbert laughed.
"A panda?" Francis uttered, still not completely believing his friend.
"Yes!"
So they naturally burst out laughing.
"Vhy a panda suit?" Francis asked, wiping tears of laughter out of his perfect eyes.
"I dunno, maybe he thought it would appeal to Yao's Chinese heritage!" They burst into laughter once more.
"Oh, oh! There's more!" Gil said, trying desperately to stop laughing but unable to do so.
"Vhat could be better!" Francis asked, still laughing at the mental image of the unstable, cruel, downright freaky Russian wearing a panda suit as a disguise so he could stalk someone.
"Yao fangirled over Ivan thinking it was a real panda!" This took a moment to process, but when it did, Francis started cracking up again.
"And then" Gilbert continued, "Ivan pulled off his mask and Yao fainted from shock!" This was too much for Francis and both of them laughed the entire rest of the trip to school.
They were just lucky that Ivan didn't take their bus or he would have been using that pipe of his on something that wasn't furniture.
