REASONS WHY YOU SHOULDN'T LIVE WITH BOYS UNATTENDED
Some boys don't clean, don't wash dishes and don't cook. They won't even clean the toilet and you should see the kitchen. It's a wonder how they could live in it. Unless you want to be their servant, try finding another place to live in. They are messy.
They may try to hit on to your girl friends though it's not such a bad thing if your friend doesn't mind/they have mutual interest and the like. Beware of perverts/gropers!
You can't always walk around the apartment wearing clothes that you like. Unless you or they wouldn't mind. Expect wolf whistles every now and then.
Not all boys are gentlemen. Some are just as vain as girls and they stay in the shower for almost an hour.
Some minds revolve around sports 24/7.
Boys will be boys. Perverts will be perverts. Be wary of groping.
They are very noisy. Most of the time.
Always expect the unexpected e.g. seeing males half naked clad only in a towel.
And number eight was what happened to the dear, innocent eyes of poor, sweet and child-like Arisa Hachirobei. Hell, it wasn't everyday that you see boys/men in towels showing off their well-toned upper bodies unless you count the guys at the gym. She cringed. Those men were just muscle and sweat. She just saw a man half-naked in front of her in the very condo unit that she was staying in. Why didn't he warn her? No words could best describe her face.
As her grandmother always said,"If a man isn't decently clothed, he might as well take the rest of his clothes off."
The said male, wiping his dirty blonde hair, was completely unaware of her presence.
"Watari? Do we have any more of those strawberry scented shampoos?"
Gaping like a fish and unable to speak up was how he found her. And much to her dismay, let's add another half-naked man on the scene.
"Sorry Mello… I used it all up." He said as his hair was glistened, wet from his bath.
Mello took some time for his brain to function. But he was smart, really, he is! He drew a deep breath.
"OH MY FREAKING GOD! WHAT'S A GIRL DOING HERE?!"
"Ah… I…I…I mean… well…uh…" She stuttered unable to fid the words to say.
"Explain yourself girl!" Mello demanded.
"Well… you see.. My best friend lives here and uh…"
"Who?" Mello asked, prompting her to say.
"You're making her nervous and scared, Mello." The dark haired male said as he started to dress in his white shirt, uncaring if he was in front of her.
"I don't care," Mello said simply.
"My best friend is Matt.. Eh.. You do know him right?" She said feeling a bit awkward of the situation.
"Of course I know him that traitor! How could you be his best friend when I am his best friend?!" Mello bellowed. His eyes moved to tiny slits. His ears were smoking and his mouth was breathing fire.
Arisa sweat dropped.
"Oh, then you must the guy best friend while I am the girl best friend."
Mello's eyes narrowed some more. Clearly the girl didn't understand. In his vocabulary, Best friend is singular, mono, uni, and one. He was selfish, so what else is new?
"Hn" said the other guy who, by this time, was completely dressed. His hair was unruly and his shoes were undone. At that moment, Arisa noticed his insomniac eyes and his crouched figure. His stare gave a very calculating look.
An elderly man resembling a butler came in.
"Ryuuzaki" he addressed the strange guy with THE eyes.
"Watari, could you make up dinner in the dining hall. It seems that we have a guest."
"Of course and Mello?"
"Just bring up the shampoo in my room. I need to finish my bath. I'm standing here dripping,half-naked and this unit has a centralized air-conditioning system."
"And you miss?" He asked Arisa.
"Can't I just wait until Matt arrives?"
"Matt can't be expected to come home early from his….errands."
"Errands? Oh… I see…um…I'll just eat outside then. I don't want to be a bother to you. Since I already live here free of charge." Arisa kindly said.
"No, but I insist miss?" (Black haired dude with THE eyes)
"Arisa Hachirobei"
"Ah, Miss Arisa… Join us for dinner."
"Well, um… sure, I guess."
"Good" he said as he heads for the room which Arisa can't enter.
"And Mello, you might want to get inside your room now. You are dripping on the carpet."
FASTFORWARD DINNER
Dinner was a sweet success. The table was filled with chocolate pudding, chocolate shakes, chocolate parfaits, strawberry cakes, muffins, English tea, and coffee. It hardly seemed like a real meal at all. They skipped dinner and went right away to dessert. Good thing the black haired dude with THE eyes whom Arisa later discovered that his name was actually L though she wondered why he was named Ryuuzaki Hyuuga. Perhaps, L was his code name? At least he had been considerate enough to fetch some REAL dinner for her.
Arisa noticed the different "manners" of both L and Mello. L sits with his feet in the chair and he slouches so much that his chin meets his knees. Then he daintily picks up a spoon and starts eating cake. Next, Mello sits in a monkey pose…. Sorry…he slouches in his seat as he bites off from his chocolate bar. So far, Arisa is beginning to think that Matt even though he is "different" is the only one normal in their "family."
So anyway, dinner was a success and after that, Arisa went to retire in her own room. Matt and the other roommate did not return home as expected.
Maybe they'll meet tomorrow?
Maybe.
A/N: I don't mean for any boy to be offended with me slightly bashing them. Anyways, thanks for reading and reviewing this if you are indeed reading and reviewing. :D
