"CAN YOU TURN THAT DOWN?" Conrad hollered from his bedroom, head half sticking out from the door. Hanna and his ever present zombie pal had shown up an hour or so ago after Hanna's computer decided to crash. It had taken Conrad a few minutes to realize Hanna's computer really was broken and he did want his wimpy vampire friend to aid him.

But that wasn't why Hanna was still there. He had grown tired of watching Conrad pick at his laptop, and son found a dust covered PS2 on some random shelf. "Friken sweet!" The red head had shouted. " I haven't seen one of these in forever!" Conrad had ignored him, continuing to work on the lifeless computer.

Well until Hanna thrust a game in his face.

"What's this?" He asked the other male, who only scowled.

"It's a game my parents got me a while back…s'called Katamari." Conrad shrugged, he had only played it once, and found it very irritating, stupid, and well….just plain old weird. Actually, he would later come to the conclusion that the game was foreshadowing how messed up his life would later be.

But that's just Conrad for you.

"Whatdoyoudoinit?" Hanna had asked quickly, clearly already brimming with curiosity and excitement.

"….you roll up stuff," He pushed the younger an away. "You can play it," The vamp answered the question that was on the tip of the others young, sending him into a fit of smiles and giggles." Just keep the volume low. And don't yell."

Hanna had not kept the volume down,

He yelled quit often.

And laughed.

And just sat in awe in front of the game.

Which is why Conrad was currently screaming at him to shut the god damn game off if he was going to be annoying about it, it was like having Veser around.

And that's when Hanna called Veser.

"Sorry," Norman muttered, leaning on Conrad's doorframe. The other scowled, however he didn't seem to be mad at the undead man.

"For?" The pale man asked, shutting Hanna's now fixed computer.

"Not being able to prevent him from being so….."

"Annoying?"

"…..loud."

"." Conrad pushed up his glasses that had slipped down his nose. "That's what I get for hireling him." A sigh. "Just make sure…he doesn't brake anything."

"So were where you before?" Hanna asked, eyes fixated on the screen. His pale hands here moving the control sticks around, jamming them down every few seconds to get a speed boost on his trusted Katamari.

"Huh?" Veser looked over at the ginger, he had been too busty watching him roll up a giant gorilla to notice he was being talked to.

"Where," He interrupted his own sentence with a shout of joy that caused Conrad to scream at them to shut up. "Were you?"

"Chillin at a coffee shop. Was bored. Nothing interesting." A shrug and and s look to the side. For some reason Veser didn't really feel like giving Hanna details. He wasn't sure why, it wasn't that he was embarrassed he had talked with the older man earlier it just….was so out of character for the two to talk about their day in a none shouting normal way.

"Uh huuuuuuuuuuh," Hanna replied, clearly indicating that Veser should continue.

"……was just talking, watching some girls be stupid, eattin a brownie……the legal kind jackass," Veser grumbled once a tiny grin appeared on his friends face at the world "brownie." He REALLY looked like he wanted to drop the subject. It was awkward and weird, like walking on sand paper or licking the side of a glass in public. People wouldn't really judge you but you still felt weird about it.

Ples, in a manner of speaking, was Veser sandpaper, and the fact that the conversation was skimming the topic of said sandpaper was enough to send Veser in a state of mind where he would rather break something in Conrad's house to distract Hanna then talk about it.

That and he just flat out loved to piss off the pale undead man.

"Veser left?" Nathan asked is partner when he reentered the living room. While Hanna had been playing Katamari like no tomorrow, Fred had been talking to Conrad about things. Conversation wasn't awfully deep, but it was a change in pace for him.

The conversation that is.

"Mmmmmmhmmmm," Was his reply, eyes squinted, tongue sticking out of his mouth. "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" He exclaimed, almost throwing the controller into the wall when he flailed his arms. "I rolled up the WOOOOOOORLD!" A grin was plastered across his face, showing that he felt like he accomplished something.

Nancy would later find out that Hanna had beaten the majority of the game in the time span they where at Conrad's indicating the young man had some hardcore gaming skills.

"………Hanna…….." The red head looked over at the hallway where Conrad stood. "………why are their forks in the ceiling?"

AN: ;A; This one is bad. DI I can't write Hanna out very well or Conrad for that matter. The wording on this is off, sorry guys. Halfway though I was like "Wait....Hanna and Veser wouldn't have a heart to heart unless somethign hardcore happened which didn't happen sooooo...."
