"I brought the pizza," Marui said, pushing Niou's bedroom door open with his butt. "I even got the bread sticks and those chocolate cake things. Oh, and the hot chick was working tonight so she gave me a free bottle of Coke."

Niou sat up on his bed (lying down and staring at the ceiling really was boring), and rolled his eyes. "Coca-Cola can suck Mountain Dew's dick."

Marui laughed, setting the boxes down on Niou's dresser. "Your mom's bring up your poison in a minute, Master," Marui teased, tossing his book bag towards the TV.

Niou smirked and crossed his legs. No matter how many times he wore them, his sister's old, fuzzy, pink leopard PJs were so comfortable. He hummed, watching Marui close the door. "I like the way that sounds."

"What sounds?" Marui asked, walking over to the bed. He put one knee on the bed, leaned towards Niou, grabbed one of his shoulders, and kissed his forehead.

"Master," Niou said. "The poison part doesn't sound that bad either."

"I meant the Mountain Dew, stupid," Marui said, rolling his eyes. He pulled away from the bed and walked over to his discarded book bag which landed right in front of the TV. "Okay. We have The Blair Witch Project or Paranormal Activity."

Niou swung his legs off the bed, heading straight for the pizza. He moved the cakes and bread sticks aside, going straight for the olive pizza.

"Aren't those American horror movies?" Niou asked curiously, taking a slice out. "Why do we always watch American movies?"

"I don't know – I get them from my cousin," Marui said, pulling the case out of his bag as well as his PJs.

"The Ferris Wheel guy?" Marui nodded. "Hm… what exactly did we do when we got to the top of the Ferris Wheel? I forget."

Marui walked over to where Niou was standing by his dresser, a DVD case and his PJs in his hand. He looped his arms around Niou's neck, whispered, "This," and kissed him lightly on the lips. Niou smiled, kept his slice of pizza in his hand, and grinned into the kiss, licking at Marui's lower lip.

Niou used to think movies made kisses so cheesy. But when he kissed Marui, he realized it was cheesy, but it was amazing. The warmth of their body, being completely open, showing no shame… It was a cheesy thing. It was cheesy than the pizza.

When Marui pulled back, Niou put the pizza to Marui's lips. Marui took a bit, and then swallowed with a grimace. "Urgh. Olives taste worse than Coca-Cola."

"You did not just insult my taste in pizza."

"Yes, I did."

"Bitch."

"Love you, too," Marui said, rolling his eyes as he handed the Blair Witch Project DVD case to Niou. Marui kissed Niou on the cheek, and then went to the bathroom to change.

Niou looked at the case, and then the door open. He looked over at the door, saw his mom with two two-liter bottles of Mountain Dew as well as cups, and took another bite of pizza.

Close one, Niou thought. If she had come in two seconds earlier…

"Don't stay up too late," she said, setting the bottles and cups on the desk. She looked at what Niou was wearing. "You're still wearing Riko's old pajamas?"

"I'm not wearing the top," Niou said, pulling the collar of his white t-shirt. He wanted to wear the button up top, but it was too hot to. Not that he'd tell his mom that.

"You're such an odd boy," she said while shaking her head. "Just remember to offer Marui-kun the futon – it's in the closet at the end of the hall."

Niou nodded, still chewing the pizza. She sighed and closed the door behind her. Niou walked over to the door and locked it before going back to look at the DVD case.

Marui came out of the bathroom a minute later in a black t-shirt and his Rikkaidai sweatpants. He moved Niou's pizza box aside (olives, ew), and grabbed a slice of the extra-cheese.

"So are we going to watch that?" Marui asked, grabbing a cup and a bottle of Mountain Dew before making himself comfortable on Niou's bed.

Niou shrugged and put his pizza on the box. He put the DVD in, grabbed his pizza, a cup, and the bread sticks, and sat down next to Marui.

"If you get scared I'll laugh," Niou said, turning on the TV. He reached for another small clicker and turned off the lights.

"I cried through The Titanic and The Notebook; I'm a man, damnit."

Niou rolled his eyes.


A/N: I was going to write more, but I got tired and thought (this is seriously what I thought), "I could make one of them piss their pants, but those movies aren't scary." They aren't, trust me.

Also, I just realized how horribly OOC these two have become. I mean, they've been OOC from chapter one, but this is ridiculous. I think they still have some of their quirks, though.
