"C'n we get a place to crash for a while somewhere?"
Ranma blinked. "Say what?"
"You heard me, c'n we get a place to crash for a while somewhere? Just for a while while I win this contest!"
"I mi' jus enta ii to." Rho stated calmly.
"Wha? Why?"
"I dunno, maybe I'm jus sick o ya bringin' home comics evry weekin."
"Yo, Shud Dup!"
"Why?"
Nick pulled Zuu close. "No offense, Rho, but my 'brother-in-law' here can kick your ass easily."
"You speak so heavily accented," Zuu teased. "Or as Toby would say, 'Ooh, it's soooo sexy when you talk Japanese with that oh-so-cute German- Korean-American mixed accent!' And don't you dare say you've never said that," he growled at Toby, pointing.
"You were listening?!"
"You were cooing, Tob, how could I not? I mean, I've seen you make out with this boy half-naked in our room and yet when you said that I felt it was the gayest thing you'd ever done."
"Gayest." Toby asked calmly, ".Or most homo-erotic?"
"Whichever makes you feel better, Tob, whichever makes you feel better."
Ranma cleared her throat. "I may know a place," she said quickly.
"Really?" Zuu yelped. He hugged Ranma. "Sugoi de!"
"Well." Ranma started, shoving Zunni off. "It's not mine, but you may be able to get a room if you ask the Tendo family to use their dojo."
"A room? As in only one room?"
"There's a curtain," Ranma added quickly.
"Hell, I'll sleep on the roof if you don't have a patio, but we'll take it."
"Huh?" the other three turned, quizzical.
"Yeah, Tob and Ni Kwan get the bigger half of the dojo, Rho gets the smaller side, and I take the porch or the roof."
"Why can' I geh d roof?"
"'Cause you're the responsible one, Rho, and I sure as hell don't want to hear Toby groaning like a little girl with a skinned knee an' shit."
The others, even Ranma, looked at him with an expression of disgust.
"I wouldn't do that in public, Zuu." Nick whispered quietly.
"I know, but it's the principle of the thing."
"I do not sound like a little girl."
"No, you don't," Nick smirked as he kissed Toby's forehead.
Zuu smiled. "See what I live with? A cute but gay brother, my arch- rival's twin brother who happens to be his lover, a psycho chaos worshipper, a model who's too shy to do anything, and the ruler of the universe who hates me more than anything."
Ranma nodded. "I'm going to the Cat Café," he announced, turning to go.
"Food?" Toby and Zuu begged, following him.
"It's Chinese food."
"Cool, Szechwan or Hunan?" Zunni wondered.
"Chinese food."
"Szechwan China or Hunan China? Hell, if they have Cantonese, even." Zuu argued.
"It's just Chinese food."
"I like Chinese food, but I'm partial to Korean," Toby admitted.
"Yeah, he looks pretty tasty, but I dunno, Tob, I swing towards girls over guys. He's got a really great cousin."
"My fiancé?"
"You're married."
"Yeah, but Jun Min and I agreed that a political marriage would be a safe plan. I married Nick out of love."
Zuu stared at him. "You know, it takes a lot to startle me, but that was adequate for it."
"Oh? Thank you. We outta go clubbing again tonight, the three of us."
"Hell yeah, now you're talkin' my language. Are you gonna play your little 'Pick a girl, make her think she owns you, flirt all night and make out with Nick in front of her right when she wants to suck you down' game tonight?"
"Zûnni-Len, you are such a pervert. I don't go that far with them. It's just a little innocent fun."
"Before you spill your not so innocent love life."
"You really are disgusted that I like guys, aren't you?"
Ranma winced. "I know I am."
Zuu glared. "It's his life, bitch. And Toby deserves someone who treats him like Nick does."
Ranma shivered. "Perverts."
Zuu smacked him.
Ranma blinked. "Say what?"
"You heard me, c'n we get a place to crash for a while somewhere? Just for a while while I win this contest!"
