A/N: So, inspired by Wolfy, this was originally going to be something else, but turned into this. In turn, the first idea got refined, so it'll happen later.
"Get out!"
Rei's eyebrow twitched. "Excuse me?"
"You heard me." Minako crossed her arms as she sat on the bed.
"Yes, but I don't think you understand how that works."
"I understand it perfectly. I tell you to get out, then you get out."
The raven's eyes rolled. "This is my room."
"What's your point?"
"My POINT is—" She shrugged violently, muttering to herself and sat at her desk. That is, until a balled up paper bounced off the back of her head. She ignored it.
Another one struck her.
And another.
"What is it," she yelled, whipping around in time for Minako's current weapon of choice to bounce off her forehead.
"Er, you haven't, uhm, left." She saw Rei shift and attempted to flee, but was caught with a yelp that dissolved to giggling. "Stop… tickling… me!"
"Nope," Rei laughed, refusing to let go even when they tumbled to the ground.
They fought for dominance, though Minako was truly putting up little resistance, and Rei was just about to stop her assault when a fist connected with her jaw.
"Ow, dammit!" She moved into a sit a small distance away from her friend, openly glaring and rubbing her face.
The occasional giggle interrupted Minako's concern. "Sorry, are you okay?"
"Don't lie to me, you're not sorry."
"Hmm, I dunno. You do have a nice face."
"You know what? I'll just leave."
"Well," she started, grabbing Rei's leg to halt her departure, "since you're begging, you can stay under one condition."
"No, it's okay. I'll leave. Have fun."
"But you're just dying to stay in my exquisite presence and—"
"Isn't that a little large for your vocabulary?" Rei didn't bother to look down. Even being dragged across the floor while attached to Rei's leg wouldn't stop the blonde from looking indignant.
"Are you calling me stupid?"
"No, but you are kinda heavy and there's a lot of stairs to go down."
Minako slapped Rei's calf. "Now you're just calling me fat! This is not the way to win my heart, you know."
"I could do that in ten minutes. Right now, I'm just trying to win my freedom. Murder's looking pretty good at the moment."
"And now you're calling me a cheap whore. You're the worse romantic ever. Besides, prison isn't very free."
"Whore, no. Cheap, maybe. Compared to you, the prison thing is debatable. Don't you have a boyfriend for romantic crap?"
"You know I don't," came the flat reply.
Rei stopped, fighting back a sigh. She looked down and jerked her thumb. "There's chocolate over there."
"Great, so go get it."
"I don't think so."
Minako let go of Rei's leg to stretch luxuriously. "You're winning my heart, remember?"
"Hence the chocolate. You have to put in some effort, too."
"For what? I'm not winning your heart. That's your job."
"You're right."
She hummed her victory, watching Rei get the chocolate bars… And throw them out the window. "Rei!"
"Hmm?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing. Your chocolate's over there."
All she could do was stare, mouth open and all, as the raven sat at her desk again. "Unbelievable!" Minako stormed out, knowing full well it was ridiculous. It was chocolate, after all. And there was revenge to be had. Sweet, evil revenge. But when she returned to the room, all thoughts of evil plans were gone.
Rei was fidgeting.
"What is it?"
She looked to the window as if she thought about jumping out of it, but instead she thrust out a small box.
Minako accepted it, chocolate forgotten. Inside it lay a bracelet, the band decorative only in the sense of it being sleek metal coiled around another—much like her chains—and there was a singular charm. Of fire. She looked up to find a still fidgeting Rei.
She huffed. "I love you—as obnoxious as you are—but I'm not in love with you. I'd like to see if that can change."
"Rei, you are the sweetest idiot I'll ever meet."
"Yeah, well, you're just an idiot."
"Rei?"
"Yeah?"
"Shut up."
"And kiss you?"
The utter seriousness on Rei's face, complete with a raised eyebrow, made Minako laugh. "Nope."
"Well, damn. I tried." Even she couldn't totally fight off a smile.
Minako sat beside her, holding out her wrist for Rei to put the bracelet on, shaking it a little when the raven just blinked at her. "Wait, so why throw the chocolate out the window?"
"You're nosy, I couldn't have got that out without you gawking at me. Plus, I didn't have anything shiny."
"Sweetest. Idiot. Ever."
A/N: Rei is just so charming.
