A/N: Wow, I've actually made a new friend out of the first chapter! Go check NnysGirl now! I order you! And once you've done that, I order you to come back here and read this chapter! Mwahaha!
Ooh! Look at the purdy disclaimer!: I own nothing. NOTHING! But one day, I shall rule all the pigeons! Mwahahaha, I shall be the pigeon queen! Or king! I haven't decided yet.
Warning: Merlin above knows why I'm writing this. But, fuck, some people can be so, er, stupid. Heh, I made someone cry by saying that have a fat mouth….Anyway, this contains femme-slash. I'm thinking this should be rated 'R', but I'm gonna try and avoid going into any details, and maybe, just maybe, people will be mature enough to realise that same-sex relationships are a fact of life. I, myself, am bisexual, and more than half my friends are mature enough to realise I am attracted to none of them, so maybe society can grow up to and realise there's nothing wrong with them? Hm? I love to ramble and bitch!
'So… How're you feeling now?' Tenna asked cheerily, as her legs swung back and forth in the seat she was upon. Devi groaned, and shook her head ever so slowly.
'Tenna, that's the fifth time you've said that in a seven minute period, dontcha think you should lay off it for a little bit?' Devi whined, as she lay her arm over her eyes. She was still lying on the couch, her stomach still as queasy as before. The dark green blanket Tenna had laid across her two nights ago, was tucked up around her neck, her hair sprawled out across the armrest, rather knotty being as she had slept in small naps throughout the day. It was now five in the afternoon, and although Devi still had the ill feeling in her stomach, she was no longer vomiting, and had managed to hold down her lunch of chicken soup and a glass of orange juice. Tenna had stayed over, sleeping on her bed, and taking care of her, and had only left the apartment to grab a few things from her own apartment. And Devi was immensely grateful for all the help her friend was giving her, although she was beginning to grow a little bit annoyed with Tenna's constant asking of how she was feeling.
'I know, I know. Just checking.' There was a pause, as Tenna pulled her knees up to her chin. 'I think you're sick because you need to get out more.'
Devi sat up abruptly and stared at her friend in disbelief. Her blanket fell down around her lap, her emerald eyes wide with shock. 'It was because I went out that I got sick!' she cried out, her arm keeping her up as she swung her legs around, and onto the floor. 'Gods above, I swear you must have a selective memory…' This made a small chuckle from Tenna, which only made the other girl whine in annoyance.
'Don't be so upset!' Tenna said affectionately, giving Spooky a light squeeze. 'Anyway, you know what you need?'
Devi gave Tenna a look that read 'don't-fuck-with-me-right-now'. 'Tell me, my dear, what do I need right now, other than a bodyguard to kick you out into the hallway?'
Ignoring her friends try at a threat, Tenna bounded towards her, and thrusted the skeleton doll into her face. 'A good old chat with Spooky!'
Devi glared at the doll with utter hate. If she wasn't as ill as she felt, Devi believed she would have ripped the doll from Tenna and turn it into a chew toy for an alligator. 'Alright, alright. Spooky, can you please tell Tenna to please shut up and stop giving me a headache?'
There was a squeak from Spooky, and Tenna lifted the doll to her ear. After a pause, she grinned, and lowered her arm back to her side. 'Spooky says that can't happen, but I can take you out to a noodle restaurant! There's a new one just a couple of blocks down, and you can have noodles with a side dish of vanilla ice cream for only five ninety-nine!' She grinned brightly, her teeth gleaming in the dim light. Sighing, Devi rested her back against the couch, and thought for a moment. Finally, she nodded, and rubbed her eyes slowly.
'Okay, okay… Just let me have a shower, and get myself into some new clothes… But I swear, when we get back, I get to force-feed you fish that's two weeks old, and squeak a fucking doll next to your ear.' She moaned, and pushed herself to her feet. 'And don't you dare walk in on me whilst I'm in the shower…'
Tenna nodded, and bounced down onto the couch. 'Will do… I can't speak for Spooky though!'
Devi just shuddered, and walked into the bathroom.
Wrapping a towel around her, Devi shook her head quickly, trying to make her hair dry quicker. Stopping for a moment, she adjusted her towel, she opened the bathroom door a crack, and peeked her head out.
SQUEEEEK!
'Fucking hell, Tenna, why are you standing outside the bathroom door that close?!' Devi cried out, her nose almost touching her friends. 'I could have walked out naked!'
'But you didn't…' Tenna quipped, pointing to the bottle green towel. 'Anyway, I thought you might like your hair washed!'
Devi's eyes grew wide at the image of Tenna scrubbing her hair whilst she soaked in the bathtub. Thus, a blush soon found its way upon her pale cheeks. 'Er, no… Now please, shoo, I need to grab some new clothes…'
'Okie dokie…' replied Tenna, as she cheerfully backed away from the doorway. 'I'll put your clothes in the wash!'
'No!' Devi cried, holding her left hand up in the air, her right clinging desperately onto her towel. 'No! Don't! I'll do it when I get changed. Just… leave them where they are!'
Tenna eyed Devi curiously, but slowly nodded, and stepped away from the bathroom. 'Alright then… I'll just see what's on the TV, then…' she mumbled, as if slightly hurt by her friend erratic behaviour.
'Yes, yes… Good… I'll be ready in fifteen minutes, probably. I just need to, you know, throw some clothes on, and get a few of these knots from my hair- and no, I don't need your help!' she quickly added, as Tenna opened her mouth. A look of hurt slipped across the black girls' face, but gave a firm nod.
'Yes, ma'am. Anyway, I was just going to say, if you want, we could rent some movies if you're still feeling a bit ill. I think some of that fish must have screwed your brain up good…'
Giving a hefty sigh, Devi just shrugged her shoulder apathetically, and headed to her room. 'Maybe… I dunno…'
The noodle bar was named Happy Noodle Boy, which, for some strange reason which caused a flicker in Devi's memory on a subject that she couldn't quite remember. Devi and Tenna had chosen a booth in the far right corner, their conversation light and carefree. After the strange incident in Devi's apartment, Tenna had become quite reserved, and that worried Devi quite a bit.
Sighing, she lowered her chopsticks on to the table, and turned to her friend. Resting her head upon her fist, her elbow on the table, she drew in a deep breath. 'Ten, what's wrong? I've apologised for my… er, outburst about the bathroom'
Tenna looked up from her chili noodles, and flopped back in her seat. 'I know, I know. It just hurt, okay? I mean, I looked after you for two days in a row, and I get yelled at… I guess it just hurt me more than both of us realised…' Devi pouted at this, and stirred her noodles in the bowl.
'I guess I over-reacted…' she murmured. A thought crossed her mind, and she quickly grabbed the squeaky toy which was propped up on the table, and resting against the wall. Giving it a loud squeak, she shoved it into Tenna's face. 'Talk to Spooky!'
The corners of Tenna's lips quirked into a smirk, something which looked rather odd on her face. 'I think Devi needs to stop being so aggressive when people offer her help, Spooky…'
Devi lifted the doll to her ear, and pretended to hear it talk. Nodding, she lowered him, and turned to face her friend. 'Spooky says you need to get out more.'
'Did not…'
'Did too. He also said you shouldn't eat all your noodles, and give some to me.'
'Ah, so you are getting your appetite back!'
Lunging forward, Devi snatched the noodles off of Tenna, and took a quick bite of them. 'Just taking advice from the Spook-ster!' she said through a mouthful of noodles.
'Well Doctor Spooky says you shouldn't shove so many noodles into your mouth at one time. You'll end up shitting yourself.'
'Hey, lets not get into the Shit-in-Pants guy, okay?'
Tenna chuckled, and grabbed her bowl back. 'Hey, you two could have had some wonderful kids. They'd be brown-nosers for a good reason!'
Devi scrunched her nose up in abhorrence. 'Ew, that's just disgusting. I can't believe you said that. Don't say that anymore, Tenna…'
Shaking her head, Tenna turned back to her noodles, and resumed munching on them contently. 'Just speaking the truth, Devi.'
Rolling her eyes, Devi paused in her noodle eating, her eyes seeming to glass over.
'You okay?'
'Hm? Yeah… You know what we haven't done for a while?' she suddenly questioned, popping back into reality.
'What haven't we done in a while?'
'Had a big girly night out.'
'That's because you've had agoraphobia!' Tenna cried. 'I've tried to get you go out, but you haven't wanted to!'
'I know, I know. But I'm feeling better right now. We should! It'd be fun! We can go get drunk at some random nightclub, and then find some random people and tell them out life stories so they think we're insane, and then somehow find our way back to one of our apartments, and then fall onto the floor in a big, drunken mess, and wake up the next morning with a pounding hangover!'
Tenna stared at her friend for a long moment, before grinning wildly. 'Sounds like a plan!'
A/N: You like? You must like! Anyway, Devi may be a bit out of character, but hey. I needed her to do something entirely random to make my story work. Anyway, I'm thinking of changing the rating of this story to 'R', being as I don't want to corrupt any little kiddies out there. But, anyway, the all-to-loveable Jhonen Vasquez isn't aiming these comics to five-year-olds, is he? So if you don't like this fanfiction, you can go to hell and say hi to Hitler for me.
Okay, I think I need my nummy blood juice…
Review! You know you want to… The review button turns you on so much, you just need to push it!
