Disclaimer:- I own very little! Just Nolie, part of Kit/Gene and any obscure memories used in conjunction with those who gave me ideas!
Naru's POV
Gene and I had finally managed to get rid of Madoka and her dreaded speech on sex. 'Honestly, how does shaking people's hands equate to such an intimate act? That woman has her head screwed on wrong I think!' Gene turned to me with slight worry in his eyes.
"Noll, I've been thinking." 'Oh dear, this isn't good. He's been thinking!' "It's about what the girls said about us…"
"Gene, it doesn't matter what the girls said about us, we put them straight and that's all that matters." I interrupted, trying to shut down this conversation before he got any crazy ideas.
"But what if they were right about how we treat them? I think that maybe they do deserve some kind of acknowledgement to show them how much we care about them." Gene persisted.
"And what would you have us do hmm? Take up everyone's suggestion of doing them?" I replied with irritation that he wasn't going to drop the subject. Gene blushed at the thought before shaking his head.
"No, I don't mean anything that extreme. I was thinking of us maybe taking them out on a trip or something and then maybe to dinner." Gene said by way of explanation as to the direction of his thoughts.
"I see. And when and where do you suppose we take this hypothetical trip of yours?" I asked. Gene smirked then and I knew I had played right into his trap as usual.
"I have a few ideas." He said mysteriously. "Also, no time like the present." He informed with joy.
"However, if you haven't noticed I have work to do and all the interruptions are not helping."
"Pssh, you can work tomorrow, the girls now are important." Gene said dismissively. I glared at him, but as per usual he ignored it and dragged me off the sofa.
"Uh…you're not going to go looking like that are you?" He asked, gesturing to my usual black shirt and trousers outfit. I raised an eyebrow at him as I saw nothing wrong with my attire. Besides, it's pretty much the only type of clothing I brought with me.
Gene sighed and, instead of dragging me in the direction of the kitchen where the girls could still be heard chattering and laughing with each other, dragged me in the direction of the second living room where he had stashed a holdall with some of his possessions.
He let go of me and eyed me for a second before rummaging around in his bag and pulling out a t-shirt and pair of worn looking jeans and thrusting them out towards me.
"Put these on." He commanded before going back to rummaging in his bag and muttering. "We'll have to do something about your hair too, it's way too formal."
I looked at him stunned before dropping his offering of clothes and crossing my arms in protest. 'There is no way I am going to become his personal Barbie doll for him to dress up as he pleases. I am happy with what I am wearing thank you very much!'
Gene gave me a hard threatening stare that communicated to me that if I didn't do as he says voluntarily he would accomplish it by force. 'When did he start becoming so aggressive? He's never given me that look before. He usually just backs off if I don't want to do something.' He sighed and rubbed the back of his head.
"Sorry, I'm used to going through this process with Zach, only he starts out with no clothes." He informed. "Could you maybe just do as I want without fuss please?" He asked. I sighed and retrieved the clothes from where I'd dropped them on the floor. 'I guess it won't hurt to look different for one afternoon.' I stared at him trying to get him to leave so I could redress.
"Dude, you haven't got anything I haven't seen before. Just hurry it up." He said, firmly rooting himself to the spot he was stood in. I let out an irritated growl as I proceeded to strip myself of my shirt. As I removed the cloth from my upper body and grabbed the t-shirt Gene had given me I saw him gawping at me with something akin to envy in his eyes.
"Man, how do you get so toned?" He asked with awe.
"Running after Mai to keep her out of trouble does that for me." I responded dryly, pulling the fresh t-shirt over my head. My trousers went next and I awkwardly buttoned up the jeans around my waist that felt a little too tight in certain areas.
"Don't tuck the shirt in; are you trying to look stupid?" Gene said, grabbing the shirt I'd just neatly tucked in and yanking it back out again, smoothing the fabric down around my hips over my jeans instead. "That's better, you look almost human now! Let's quickly do your hair and then we can go get the girls."
He grabbed a pot he'd earlier removed from his bag and took a large dollop of something out of it, rubbing it between his hands. I tried to resist the urge to back away screaming as he approached me and gestured for me to turn with my back to him. I felt his hands roughly moving over my head and pulled a face. He must have felt the muscles in my head move as he let out an exasperated sigh.
"It's only hair gel Noll, it washes out quite easily." A few moments later he announced he was done with me and asked if I wanted to see what he had done. I nodded and he quickly guided me to the bathroom, shoving me in front of the mirror. I stared at my reflection and Gene's efforts.
My hair wasn't as spiked as his; he'd arranged it so that it looked spiked yet shaggy at the back and had smoothed my fringe over to one side so it only covered one eye instead of both. To be honest it looked…good and with the outfit he'd made me borrow it made me look a bit more like we were actually twins. Gene made an irritated noise and dragged me out of the bathroom before I could get any deeper into admiring my wonderful self.
Before we entered the kitchen to collect the girls Gene murmured to me to keep quiet about our plan as he wanted us to surprise the two women.
Mai's POV
Since our rather weird and rude interruption by the two male twins, Nolie and I had continued to compare notes on them, but with a lot more care in case we were caught again. Madoka had also joined us, swearing blindly that she didn't know how we put up with them as they are a complete nightmare. We just patted her hands sympathetically and plied her with tea to calm her.
A while later we heard shuffling and whispering coming from behind the closed kitchen door and immediately ceased our current conversation on how Madoka should have made her lesson harsher as they really deserved it. Gene opened the door and entered followed by a rather dishy looking dark haired guy in jeans and a t-shirt…hang on, THAT'S NARU! 'Whoah, he is gorgeous dressed like that and his hair…! I am so glad he's mine! I am so not letting that go!' Gene strolled casually over to Nolie and held his hand out for her to take. She did so immediately as Naru did the same to me and, like Nolie, I didn't hesitate in taking his hand as he pulled me to my feet and away from the table.
"You two ladies are coming with us." Gene declared, gazing lovingly at Nolie before guiding her out towards where Naru's car and his own motorbike were parked. Naru followed with me silently and we came to a stop by Naru's car which he unlocked. He then opened the rear door for me as Gene did the same for Nolie before they got into their own seats in the front. Nolie glanced at me with slight panic in her eyes so I grabbed her hand and squeezed it reassuringly. The boys couldn't do anything bad to us after all, could they?
The two were jabbering away in a language that neither I nor Nolie, it seems, knew as we drove along. We turned off somewhere on the other side of a wooded road and pulled into a deserted car park. Naru looked irritated as Gene just kinda shrugged at the lack of popularity and mumbled something to Naru. Naru responded and gestured for everyone to get out.
It was a bit cold here and I wished I had a coat to put on. Miraculously Gene produced the required outerwear after convincing Naru to open the boot of his car. Naru and Gene had matching light jackets whilst Nolie and I had slightly thicker coats to put on. Gene went over to a booth and paid for our entrance into this attraction the two had taken me and Nolie to.
We soon discovered it was some kind of animal park where you were allowed to actually feed the animals. Now this sounds great until you realize that it is extremely muddy and slippery and quite a few of the animals seem to be out to get you. Both Nolie and I ended up slipping over face first in the mud trying to get away from a flock of geese, Gene laughing heartily at our misfortune and Naru smirking as per usual. We both glared at them as we tried to get up.
This incident was then followed by ravenous deer trying to eat Nolie and I alive, clothes first! Naru had to put the one trying to eat me in a headlock and Gene had to do the same to the one chomping on Nolie's top. In the end Naru and Gene decided to end this disastrous trip by guiding both me and a rather miserable Nolie back to the car.
Nolie and I were immediately driven back to the house to change our clothes whilst Naru and Gene waited impatiently for us. We were then guided back into the car and driven in the opposite direction to before. This time when we stopped it was in the car park of a rather grand looking building with a picture outside. Nolie didn't seem to think too much of this and I wondered why.
"It's called a pub Mai; it's a place for socialization in England." Naru informed me as he passed. 'Oh okay! Pub, what funny words this culture use!'
I entered the building after Naru and saw it was quite cosy inside with plenty of tables and chairs to sit on. Gene ushered me and Nolie to sit down somewhere and we chose a table next to a window with an awesome view of the hill we were working on.
The two males brought over four glasses of cola between them and claimed they had already ordered some food for us to eat. I was a little annoyed at this as I would have preferred to choose for myself what I wanted to eat, but Naru pointed out that I couldn't read English, he wasn't going to read the menu aloud to me and it was easier this way and to just accept it and not complain.
A smiley lady brought our food over when it was ready and Naru prompted me to just nod when she said something to us. Apparently Naru and Gene had decided on a chicken and bacon salad for everyone as it was fast and simple. After eating Gene announced he needed to go to the restroom and upon his return he whispered something to Naru who also suddenly declared his need for the toilet. After that the two boys kept getting up to use the loo every few minutes, going for longer stints each time until eventually they both were gone and didn't return.
Now unless they both suddenly developed a bladder problem at the same time there should be no need for this behaviour. Confused, Nolie and I decided to go investigate. We soon found the cause of their disappearance. There was apparently a second room in which was mounted a large flat screen television on the wall and upon the television was the source of Naru and Gene's desertion, English football!
The two of them were in the front row cheering and hollering at the television completely oblivious to our presence. Well, Nolie and I soon put a stop to that. We collected our drinks from the other room and, upon returning to where Naru and Gene were, upended their contents all over the pair. Fully satisfied with our accomplishment we then left arm in arm to find a bus to take us back to the house, leaving the now drenched boys to their own devices.
"See? I told you the gel washes right out." I heard Gene say to a now normally haired Naru as we departed.
