Jadeite walked down the hallway of the house when suddenly a very angry Zoisite stood before him, grabbed his collar and slammed him into the next wall.
"Zoisite!" gasped Jadeite.
"What does that smug grin on your face mean, Jadeite? You don't have to say a word, I can smell him all over you!"
"Hey, let go! It's not my fault! If you would see to it that Kunzite got laid he wouldn't be so hard that he jumps me almost before the door closes behind you. What is it with you? Have you been fighting again? Or did you finally get it going with Venus?"
"Don't be silly," said Zoisite and took his hands off him.
"Hey, Zoi, I'm sorry," said Jadeite. "I didn't mean to... But you know how he is."
"Yes," said Zoisite. "I know."
Jadeite looked at the sad expression on his friend's face, and sighed.
"Anything I can do to cheer you up?" he asked.
"No."
"Please, Zoi, don't be mad at me. Let me make good for it."
Zoisite smiled. "I am not mad at you, Jade."
"If you weren't mad, you'd at least kiss me," sulked Jadeite.
"If I was mad, I would have pushed you into my piano and played a Paso Doble on you till the strings had cut you in stripes."
Jadeite made a face like he had bit into a lemon. "Oh no, not the piano. Something else maybe?... I bet I know what you need now..."
Zoisite paused for a moment, and Jadeite looked at him expectantly.
"I really could use that lovely thing you do with your tongue, Jade... but no, it wouldn't be right. Let's say we save it for later. I need to be on my own now. I am really not mad at you. See you later... oh, and Jadeite, if you go shopping, could you bring me a few things? I have made a list... oh, I seem to have forgotten it on the piano..."
"Let me guess... Shampoo, conditioner, extra conditioner, and that super glossy hair spray?"
"Yes, I think that was it..."
"I'll throw in same brass polish for the piano legs, how about that?"
"You really don't have to, but thank you... and a bottle of white wine, for later, maybe?"
Jadeite grinned. "Sure."
He made a mental note to steal it out of Nephrite's impressive collection. He really had to keep an eye on his budget, because he couldn't ask Zoisite for money. Not right now.
"Oh, and pay that with Kunzite's money. He owes me, and he'll never notice anyway."
"Hai."
So much for asking him for money later.
Zoisite went off to be on his own beind his piano.
"Crap," murmured Jadeite as he strode on. "I never get them both in a row."
