Rating might be higher due to Akutsu's eh, colorful language. Excuse the short chapter.

Floor Three: Shinji and Akutsu

"Are you getting on? Because if you're not getting on, I'm going to close the doors, but you should be getting on because it's rude to the person who has to see the doors open just to meet someone that's not getting-"

"I'm getting on $(#$(&!" Akutsu snapped as he stomped on and literally punched in number ten. (Along with number eleven next to it and seven below it) Shinji gave him a strange look.

"Why are you so angry? You know, it's not nice to be angry. People will think you have issues, which you probably do, but-"

"Can you shut up?" Akutsu growled. Shinji gave him another strange look.

"You know, telling people to shut up isn't nice. It's not good for building friendships, but I don't think you want to be friends with me because you're that mean guy from Yamabuki who-"

Akutsu opened his mouth to tell Shinji something using his vast arsenal of vulgar language, but was !$! (vocabulary word number seven hundred and eighty-nine from said vast arsenal of vulgar language in case anyone was interested) interrupted by a violet jolt. The elevator came to an abrupt halt. Akutsu tripped and banged his head into the wall while Shinji, miraculously, seemed completely unaffected and was riled up in another of his mumbling rants again.

"The elevator isn't moving, which probably means that we're stuck together in an elevator which isn't good because I promised to help Kamio buy sanitary napkins for An, but I guess it's a good thing I'm going to be late because then maybe Kamio will just go buy them himself because I don't want to look like a- oh, the elevator's moving again which means I'll probably have to meet Kamio and go to the store with him and-"

"(!$&!)(!)($&!" Akutsu, for a lack of a better word, smashed onto Shinji, who could only blink with obliviousness as Akutsu raised his fist and was just about to punch the daylights out of the poor boy when suddenly the elevator DINGED open, revealing…

"SHINJI!" Kamio was appalled, to say the least, to find his friend being pinned down by a monster ready to kill him. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"

"Ah, it's Kamio. I was just about to get beat up I think, but then you interrupted so I think I'll be getting beat up some time later though I really don't want to get all bloody and bruised because then I'd have to miss out on tennis practice and I won't get to play and…"

Akutsu decided that he was never, ever, EVER going to use elevators again. They were unreliable and such incidents as this one could occur, and Akutsu did NOT want to wind up being stuck in an elevator with anyone ever again.

"…and then I'd have to go top the hospital and I don't like hospitals because the food is always yucky and the nurses gossip too much and-"

Akutsu resisted the urge to scream. So instead, he just punched the living daylights out of Shinji, who would be spending the next three days recovering from a concussion. Let's all pity the poor boy.
