-This wasn't orthodox persay but... they could work it out.
War and Peace
Blame
"You know he doesn't blame you," He tells his friend dispassionately as he scrubs blood that isn't there.
Proof
Ryouma really didn't want to look and see the evidence of what failures had gone on today.
Assistance
"Ren… you're bringing too many bags with you."
Going
The fact that he left didn't make Ren howl until later, because now it was much too late to say yes.
New Years
"Goodness Ren, this is the worst day for both of you to be angry at each other," Ryouma tells him as he stalks away from Tagiru.
Scientist
He was happy to do the dissection for the project, since Ryouma was busy convincing Airu to come back to the table and record the observation.
Silent
Ren wasn't quiet because he had nothing to say; he just knew Ryouma could say it for him and sound like much less of an ass when he did so.
Behalf
"I will not," Ryouma told him calmly, going back to the couch while Ren struggled with the idea of apologizing to anyone.
Rumor(ed)
They had both been highly amused at the prospect of dating each other circling through the school rumor mill.
Tip
"You need to find a better place to hide," Ryouma told him amusedly when Tagiru rammed him into a tree.
Idle
"Dude at least log off if you and that damn gogglehead are having a moment!" He shouted at the computer screen.
Brother
"My parents said they'd consider adopting you if you started using the door."
Beneath
It was the fact that somehow his best friend was laying fully clothed in his bed in the span of five minutes that made Ren regret not locking his bedroom door.
Redecorate
"Well… someone's taking an IKEA visit today," Ryouma commented, looking at his friend's slaughtered room and the two boys still rolling through it trying to maim each other.
Gravitation
"I really hope that's for Airu," Ren quipped at Ryouma threw the manga at him.
Ancestry
"Private school sucks," Ren muttered as he tugged at the gakuran, trying to ignore the other's amusement.
Afterthought
He probably should have noticed something was wrong with him earlier.
Unearth
Ryouma made a mental note to warn Tagiru before the two next saw each other.
Shield
They weren't sure who was the more dependable.
Blacklist
"It's just one night," he tried to persuade Ren, who was adamant about keeping him in the house away from the snow.
Misquoted
"I'm not even sure that was from the right Wikipedia," Ryouma read aloud to the other boy's chagrin.
Copying
There was no meaning in following in someone else's footsteps if you didn't break off once in a while and that was why their relationships were so different.
Argue
They didn't argue; he just screamed for a while until they got bored and went to the arcade.
Lens
"Ren please be more careful with my glasses."
Bell
Whatever their private lives held separately, they both frequently had to beat the bell on Monday mornings.
Arrest
Thankfully Ryouma never asked why when he went to pick him up from the station, just almost always smacked him in the back of the head.
Havoc
"One of these days you will pick up your floor… preferably when Tagiru isn't nearby."
Tool
"Ryouma, why do you have a Swiss Army knife?"
Blanket
"Why does IKEA have such great fabric?" Ren asked, to which he earned a shrug.
Fancy
Ren knew one of the reasons they were friends was so Ryouma didn't always have to play the stuck-up rich kid.
Dash
"I'm not even going to ask," the silver teen decided as his friend was climbed on by the group of cats.
Away
He was wondering when his friend's old smile would come back.
Syndication
Xros Heart was so fucking elite God was in their ranks yet they let their group in like it was just an after-school club.
Champagne
"Believe me," Ryouma told him with the softest hiccup, swirling the liquid in his glass. "If you don't, the five-year-olds get into the punch."
Note
"Ren put down the desk and find another way to kill your boyfriend all right?" Ryouma pleaded.
Physical
Ren took comfort in the fact that even if he couldn't hit Ryouma, it was always fair that he hit the guy next to him.
Dull
"You could stand to be a bit more expressive."
Frozen
"If your heater is still broken I'm maiming your parents and feeding them to Dracmon," Ren growled at him as they trudged through the streets.
Stumble
"You'll pick yourself up again, like always," he said halfheartedly, feeling horrendously awkward.
Hunt
As always, Ryouma got there first.
Gibberish
The fact that Ren was falling into incoherency was a sign to Ryouma to get the hell out of there.
Camp
Ren came back from camping with a newfound hatred of his parents and enough stories to make his friends laugh for hours.
Weak
"His weakness is chocolate," Ryouma whispered in Tagiru's ear before running off, leaving Ren to bolt after him with a flushed face and tangled cursing.
Bargain
"I'm glad I at least don't have to blackmail you."
Alcohol
"Your mother is going to kill you," Ryouma tells him at the sight of the broken and empty tequila bottle.
Wind
Ren howled with sheer irritation as Ryouma threw his hat into the storm.
Temptation
Ren was fully aware that Ryouma being a tease was the only reason these feelings had ever existed.
Eighteen
The fact that they graduated without killing each other by accident is sheer mystery.
Bottle
"That bastard," Ren hissed as he ran after Tagiru, leaving Ryouma laughing at the mess of soda bottles on the couch.
Rhythm
He knew the beat; Ryouma knew the notes, so somehow this always managed to work out.
