"Kaoru?"
"Hm?"
"Why am I seven on your speed dial?"
"Well, one is Kenji's daycare...two is Misao...three is Megumi...four is Sano...five is food...six is voicemail...seven is your personal number...eight is your work number...nine is your emergency line...zero is...I don't have a zero."
"What's five?"
"A directory of popular food places. You dial that, and than one is a coffee place, two is a bakery; three is Chinese takeout and so on."
"You put Chinese takeout before me?"
"Well...I never reprogram my speed dial! I've been adding onto it ever since I got the phone and when I met you, one through six were full!"
"Than how did Kenji's daycare become one?"
"...um...well, Kenji is important!"
"You have voicemail before me. I see how it is."
"Kenshin! Are you seriously mad about this? What's your speed dial look like, huh?"
"One is home...two is your cell...three is Kenji's daycare...four is your work number...five is Shishou, six is Aoshi, seven is Saito, eight is Sano, and nine...is work."
"...well, excuse me."
"You're excused, since you obviously don't love me anymore."

"You and Kenshin are fighting?"
"Yeah. He's mad- he's been snippy."
"What are you fighting about? Kenji, money, work...?"
"Actually...we're fighting over my speed dial."
"You're WHAT?"
"Kenshin is mad that he's seven on my speed dial when I'm one and two on his."
"Speed dial. That is pathetic- just change your speed dial!"
"No! It's my phone! He can't control me!"
"...I cannot believe you two are fighting over speed dial."
--
"Kenshin, could you get over this stupid speed dial thing already?"
"What makes you think I'm not over it?"
"You're sleeping on the couch. Alone. I hope."
"Is that why I'm seven on the speed dial?"
"Look, I changed the order. It's now Kenji, then your personal number, than home, then your work number, then your emergency number, than Misao, than Megumi, than Sano, then food...than voicemail. Are you happy now?"
"Sort of."
"Does that mean you'll stop sleeping on the couch?"
"Fine."
"Good- I thought I was going to freeze all by myself."

Been awhile since I've written. So, fluff. I'm working on another piece for the Vampire Arc, and an AU piece that keeps changing plots on me...plus I have to update Gallimaufry and start my latest long piece, Crisscross. Written in email.
