"Heh heh, how about this one?" Black Star asked, his voice teasing and taunting.
Everyone twitched.
They had somehow wondered far enough from Kid's apartment, away from the "decent" street he resided on, and landed themselves in front of a seedy-looking building with a sign illuminated overhead, reading 'XXX.'
"Black Star, come on," Maka scolded. "Don't be such a pervert."
"Come on, Maka," Soul nudged, flashing a toothy grin. "It could be fun."
"Don't get a nosebleed, Soul."
"I don't know about this, guys..." Tsubaki drew.
"Liz? Patti?" Maka asked, turning towards the sisters.
"Let's go! Let's go!" Patti cheered.
Liz sighed. "It's not like it's anything we haven't seen before," the older girl relented.
"Kid?" Maka asked, hoping for the shinigami to side with her.
He shrugged. "You are the guests...though I can't say I'm particularly comfortable with this sort of thing."
"THAT WAS A YES IN MY BOOK! YAHOOOO!" Black Star shouted, garnering unwanted attention from city-goers.
Crona quirked her head, staring at the gaudily hot pink light. "Uh..."
Maka's eyes brightened. Surely Crona wouldn't want to go inside this perv-fest! "Crona!" the blonde nearly shrieked.
The blue-haired god wanna-be interrupted. "Are you in or are you out Crona? Huh? Ready for some real, live entertainment?"
"Uh, uh, I-I..." Crona stared at sign, fidgeting with her fingers. "I-I don't s-see why n-not?"
"YAHOO! BLACK STAR PREVAILS AGAIN!" the boy screamed, slinging his arm around Crona's shoulder. "You're the best girl or guy a god could ask for!"
"I-I'm a-," Crona began only for Black Star to run away, throwing back the doors of the 'XXX' establishment.
Crona turned to Kid as they all headed after the meister. "D-does he really th-think I'm a b-boy?"
"Does it matter? It's Black Star," Kid joked. "But his idiocy doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me is that you'd be able to deal with a place like this."
"W-what do you mean?"
Kid shot her a curious look. "Crona...you do know what's in here, don't you?"
Crona shook her head.
"It's rated X, you know," he tried to lead.
"W-what's that mean?" Crona wondered. She had only heard of movie ratings. Were they going to a movie?
"Oh, dear..." Kid trailed off, looking rather defeated. He held the door back for Crona, stating, "I don't know if this is such a good idea..."
"W-why, what's-?"
Crona nearly passed out upon entering the building.
Saying the place was seedy was a compliment. The 'XXX' had the carpeted floors ripped from the vans of seventies porn stars, with black stages that jutted out into the audience. Booths lined the walls, with cheesy pin-up model pictures framed and signed on the walls. A bar sat along the far wall with a topless bartender mixing martini's. And the women on the stage...
"W-w-w-w-what?" Crona stammered, her eyes not knowing what too land on. Everything was either nude or flashy or gaudy.
"Hubba-hub," Ragnarok shouted, taking in an eyeful. "I like it here!"
"It reeks of guys like my Papa and desperation," Maka deadpanned.
"I-I..." Crona finally resolved to shut her eyes. We shouldn't be here! she thought. Don't people get into trouble for this sort of thing?
The demon sword felt a hand clasp her shoulder, making her leap out of her skin. Kid looked at her with a face wrought with concern. "Are you alright?"
"I-I...uh..." Her cheeks flared up, her eyes glued to her feet. Look at where we are! Surrounded by-by... naked people! It's like when I read the dictionary! Her heart nearly punched her ribcage. I completely forgot about that! The words "sexual desire" bolstered themselves across her brain. A bit louder than she meant to, she looked him in the eye and said, "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS."
"Ah," he nodded. Kid looked around at their friends, some of whom had already been sucked in by the lustful atmosphere. "Would you like to wait outside then?"
His eyes were so...kind. He seemed so unbothered by her; Crona's cheeks began to heat up for an entirely different reason.
"W-with-?"
"Crona!" Maka called, latching on to the pinkette. "I'm waiting outside. Want to go get some fresh air?"
"A-ah...s-sure," Crona nodded.
"Great," Maka quipped. "Have fun, Kid."
Kid sighed, watching the booth his friends shoved themselves into. He stood by the booth, crossing his arms and watching the woman that looked suspiciously akin to that magical cat Blair swing herself around the pole.
She has very symmetrical assets, the thought off-handedly. Even with such symmetrically, I imagine it takes a large amount of confidence to go up there. I wonder how Crona would handle it...
He mentally slapped himself. Wha...why would I even think about that? Still the words inside of his head conjured up some rather interesting images...
"Kid!" Soul's voice cut through the boy's imagination swiftly.
"Ki-i-i-id!" Patti beckoned. "Come on! We're gonna order!"
"Stop being such a loser and come sit with us!" Liz added.
"Yes, yes, settled down," he drew. "I'm coming."
Before he sat, he made sure to wick away the blood that had began to trickle out of his nose.
Tee-hee. Kid is a pervert. :3 I luff it.
I hope you guys are enjoying this biz! Reviews and feedback and stuff are appreciated, so feel free.
