The Adventures of Skull and Ri
7.2: Adopting the Kids, Part 2
"Hermione? Why are you calling? Oh you heard?" Skull heard Ri-chan speak cheerfully into the phone, "Well, I have a legal matter to handle, that's why I called Mr. Jones." The slender male paused to listen to the response and Skull arched a brow at him as he entered the room, his handheld game ignored. Ri smiled at him from his place on the bed seated in a comfortable tailor position.
"No, I don't need to be bailed from jail. That was George." Ri huffed into the phone, "I told him not to go base jumping without proper authorization, no matter how amazing it would to do so, was a bad idea. This has to deal with my kids."
Another pause.
"No, I don't need to bail them out of jail either," his voice rose in exasperation, "No, this has to deal with bullying at school." A long pause and he started humming along with whatever rant Hermione was making. The following were his aggravated responses to whatever questions she asked or comments she made, it went like this:
"I know." "It pisses me off as well." "Of course! Why do you think I'm calling you?!" "For goodness sake, 'Mione! I need to adopt my kids before I can step in! Having them simply stay with me isn't enough proof I'm their guardian!" "Yes Skull agrees! He would never agree with Enma-kun getting black eyes and broken noses! Just draw up the paperwork and send me a fax or email with it would you?! Gah!" The British born male threw up a hand, clicked off the phone, and tossed it away, ignoring it when it started ringing. Skull snickered.
"I know Mio-san is very reliable, but she is very difficult, yes?" Skull queried, "Are you sure you want her to work on the preliminary paperwork?"
Ri groaned.
"It's not even her writing out the papers," Ri grumbled, "It's her firm. I swear, shouldn't a lawyer have taken some classes on diplomacy?! Bloody woman…" the next part was mumbled but clearly uncomplimentary even though Skull missed the exact wording. Skull smiled.
"Skull-sama is glad to be adopting the Simon Family," Skull declared with a smile, remembering the shy query Ri-chan had made the previous night and his enthusiastic thanks when Skull said yes. "We couldn't have kids otherwise," he commented, tacking it on.
Ri smiled, forgetting his friend's diatribe, with a flutter of his eyelashes.
"We'd have fun practicing though," he stated huskily.
Skull grinned.
"Want to practice right now, number one fan?" Skull asked, shutting the door firmly behind him, and locking the door. Ri glanced at the clock on the nightstand and slowly slid back into the pillows piled near the headboard.
"We'll have to be quick," Ri purred, "I have a fitting for a suit in two hours."
Skull grinned.
"I'll try." He then pounced and Ri-chan's following giggles quickly turned to moans.
