July 21/Chiaki's Sleepover Extravaganza!/PG13/OPEN

[true]

Characters: Chiaki Yuzuru and any other boy!
Time: Night.
Location: Boys's dormitory, Chiaki's room.

POSTING ORDER: Kettaro - Hikaru - Chiaki - Kenji - Mio

Like most of Chiaki’s ideas, the one to throw an enormous, boys-only slumber party in his dorm room was an impulse—but unlike most people, Chiaki generally regarded such impulses as great ideas and carried them out. He hadn’t really passed the idea through his roommate, but he sincerely doubted that Kou would care.

Since Chiaki didn’t know most of the people he was inviting, he’d left several fliers around the boys’s dorm, written out on computer paper he’d swiped from the library in his gorgeous, computer-font handwriting. For added effect, he’d drawn all sorts of cute things on it—perhaps that would make people more inclined to come? He didn’t know, he really just liked to draw cute things.

You are invited to the sleepover extravaganza in Room 20D! Bring your mattresses and blankets and stuff, although, we probably won’t be sleeping! There will be horror movies, and other stuff~

—your host, Chiaki Yuzuru

p.s. BRING FOOD! ヾ(＾∇＾)

The stuff in their dorm had all been moved off to the side to make room for the guests—if anyone came, that is. He’d borrowed a t.v. from his sister’s house, and rented the only horror movie the dingy, decrepit resident movie rental store had—“Thanks Killing”, an American movie about a killer turkey. It looked pretty bad, but it was subtitled in japanese, and it was better than nothing, he supposed.

It was about time for people to start showing up; Chiaki scurried out of his dorm, standing expectantly in front of the doorway. Before he left, though, he was sure to make sure that the door handle was unlocked and that the doorstop was safely in place. It’d be fairly hard to throw a party if they were locked out, after all.

[kei]

The hallway back to Kettaro's room never seemed so long. All he did was grab a snack from the vending machine down the hall. As he looked up with a lazy expression, he noticed a flier on the wall. It had cute doodles and a good feeling, so he checked it out. Reading out loud, Kettaro started beaming as soon as the words 'sleepover', 'food', and 'Chiaki' came out of his mouth. It was his friend's little brilliant idea!

Kettaro dashed into his room and grabbed whatever snacks he could find. He tore off his clothes for the day and threw on comfortable cute printed pajamas. He stripped his bed and took his blanket with him. He also packed his kits--which are to be surprises for the boys who were interested. The blonde finished gathering items and bolted towards room 20D with a dorky smile slapped onto his face.

Almost reaching his destination, he caught a sight of his buddy standing outside the door. The blonde showed his pearly whites as he threw a free hand in the air. "CHI-BA~BY~!"

Finally getting to Chiaki, Kettaro never feigned his cheerfulness. Not that there was any reason to. Chiaki was a close pal and they clicked right away due to their similar understandings. "Hope I'm not too early or late! And I also brought fun stuff, hehe~ ♪"

[caitlyn]

The flier Hikaru had found around the boys' dorms announced a slumber party for that night.

Slumber party, sleepover, whatever.

Horror movies, food, and not sleeping, looks like fun, Hikaru thought as he looked over the flier in his hand once more. 'Hmm, so 20D, hosted by Chiaki Yuzuru.' He said out loud to no one, color=Purple]"this is going to be interesting."

Within a matter of minutes -contrary to what his parents thought, Hikaru was able to get everything he needed. He had changed to a comfy, oversized shirt and a school sports jacket from the boarding school he had stayed in in Milan.

His mattress tied up and over his shoulder together with his blanket, Hikaru was about to make his way to the room when he remembered, snacks. Looking around his room, he salvaged some two packets of potato chips -what brand, what flavour he didn't really know- and a couple of cans from his coffee stash. Hikaru was sure he could find more coffee in town anyway. And of course, his fedora. He didn't know why, but he felt safer with it.

In front of 20D were already two guys, one blond in printed pajamas -Hikaru thought of his mom in her series of printed designer pjs- and the other dark haired whom he recognised from the longue. 'Hey,' he called over, 'is this the 20D thing?'

[true]

”CHI-BA~BY~!” Chiaki started beaming the moment he heard Kettaro’s voice from across the hall. He waved back eagerly, excited that one of his closest friends had decided to humour him. “Hope I’m not too early or late! And I also brought fun stuff, hehe~ ♪”

”Nope, Taro-kun, you’re the first one!~ ☆” Chiaki sang, happy to note that Kettaro had brought all of things he’d asked—snacks, so many snacks—as well as his various beauty kits, for those who were open to such things. And wow, were his pajamas cute.

’Hey, is this the 20D thing?’ The boy in the fedora had appeared out of nowhere, or at least, Chiaki had been too preoccupied with staring intently at the food Kettaro had brought to notice him approaching. ”Yupyup!” he answered, wondering whether the other would be surprised at the difference between his normal self and the way he’d been when they’d first met. ”Go on in!~ There aren’t any monsters inside. Yet.”

[nezumi]

Tugging the strap of his backpack tighter on his shoulder, Kenji trudged down the hallways of the boy's dorms, looking for room 20D. He'd seen the fliers for Chiaki's sleepover "extravaganza," as the other boy called it, and figured it might be a good idea to get out of hi own room and meet his classmates in a more relaxed environment.

...maybe.

Kenji heard someone shout, "CHI-BABY!" and figured he was heading in the right direction, so he sped up his pace, turning the corner and finding Chiaki embraced with a blonde boy that Kenji had never seen before.

Peeking around the boy to get a better look at Chiaki, Kenji raised his hand in a greeting. "Hey, guys," he said, his eyes moving from Chiaki to the boy Chiaki had just called "Taro-kun" and the new addition to the group - a boy wearing a Fedora and standing about as tall as Chiaki was.

"Hope it's okay that I came, too." Kenji said. "My roommate smokes in the dorm room... I needed a break from that."

Mio furrowed his brows anxiously at the paper taped to his door. A party with a bunch of other guys sounded interesting, but he was a little uneasy about attending, especially without having met anyone that would be there. However, he couldn't just isolate himself anymore. Eventually, he'd have to meet other people from the school and make an attempt to socialize with them.

Before his apprehension and shyness could get the better of him, Mio stepped into his room to change out of his uniform. Unsure of what would be considered too formal or too casual, he put on a pair of plain black sweatpants and a grey T shirt, and slipped back out the door with a folded blanket tucked under his arm. Since he didn't have food on him, he made a mental note to stop by the school store to pick up something--anything.

When he finally arrived at the already-open door of dorm 20D, a massive lump formed in his throat, but he coughed it away. He nervously tapped on the door frame with a knuckle. "Knock knock." he said flatly, forcing a smile. "I uh, didn't have any food, but I brought this," he stammered, holding out a few boxes of candy. He probably looked childish compared to the others, but it was the best he could get on such short notice.

He pulled a hand through his hair, unable to make eye contact with anyone. "S-Sorry..."

[kei]

”Nope, Taro-kun, you’re the first one!~ ☆”

"Haha, this is going to be fun~ Fun~!" Kettaro sang in a happy tone. From the corner of his eye, he spotted a male with a fedora hat. The blonde has seen him from time to time in school because of his fedora. Are we even allowed to wear hats? Well, they are sort of like hairpins, so!

Kettaro bolted into the room and laid out his blanket. He rolled around and started absorbing the feeling of company with a giant smile. Sitting up to fix his hair, he heard another voice at the door. It was a face Kettaro has never seen before, but his hair looked like it would be fun to play with.

And then there was a god with candy in a bag. He seemed... shy? Whatever the case, Kettaro stood up and announced his name. "Hello, beautiful faces of Aozora! I'm Kettaro Sawashiro! Pleased to meet you all~ ♥"

The blonde lingered towards the freshest awkward boy and went through his bag of goodies. Kettaro's eyes were sparkling and he felt even more blissful now that there was candy involved. "What's the plan for tonight, guys?" Eyes never tearing away from the bag of candy.

[caitlyn]

This is going to be interesting, Hikaru smiled as he followed the blond kid called 'Taro-kun' into the dorm, hauling his things over his shoulder.

A shyish kid with black hair had come bearing packets of candy, and another guy who had come because he seemed sick of his smoking room mate. Whatever their reason for being here, it would be great to actually try to get acquainted here.

"Hello, beautiful faces of Aozora! I'm Kettaro Sawashiro! Pleased to meet you all~ ♥" The blond boy announced as he stood up, while Hikaru unfurled his mattress. There was an air he carried with him, something bubbly, somehow reminding Hikaru of a bright flame.

"So introductions first?" Hikaru asked, stretching his arms as he eyed the other guys.

[true]

“Hope it’s okay that I came, too. My roommate smokes in the dorm room… I needed a break from that.”

”Of course it’s okay, Kenji!~” Chiaki said, happy that his new friend had showed up, too. This evening seemed more and more promising with every elapsed second.

They’d all walked inside of the room and were just starting to get situated when someone knocked on the door, presumably another guest. Chiaki glided over to answer it, pulling it open. “Knock knock,” said the tall, shy-looking boy standing outside the opening. “I uh, didn’t have any food, but I brought this.” There were a couple of bags of candy in his hand—great, they’d be awake all night if they ate it. ”Hiya! Come on in, we haven’t even started yet~” the boy said, motioning for the other to follow.

Kettaro, ever energetic, had been the first to offer an introduction. “Hello, beautiful faces of Aozora! I’m Kettaro Sawashiro! Pleased to meet you all~ ♥” Chiaki loved how Taro could out-pep him without even trying. Enthusiasm was always a welcome thing. “What’s the plan for tonight, guys?” The predatory look Kettaro was giving the candy in the dark-haired boy’s hands was priceless; he wanted it, and he wanted it bad.

”Well, I rented this movie about a killer turkey… It was all they had.” Chiaki laughed, a little curious as to what would happen once they pressed play. ”And then we have food, and Kettaro’s magic kits… I’m sure Kenji could tell us a scary story, or something!~”

”So introductions first?” asked the boy in the fedora—Hikaru was his name, right?

”Yupyup!” Chiaki replied, beaming. ”I’m Chiaki. This thing was my idea~ It’s nice to meet you!~ ☆”

{ ooc: I added a posting order to the first post, and I'll change it if new people come in. hopefully it'll be easier now x3 }

Feeling like a giant in the tiny room, Kenji took it upon himself to sit down. He plopped himself down on the bottom bunk bed, pulling his backpack off of his shoulder and sifting through it. Moments later, Kenji pulled out two large bags of potato chips and set them down next to him.

Seeing what everyone else brought made him feel a bit upset that he hadn't brought more, but he brushed the feeling away easily. He was here to have fun, not be a downer. Kenji had heard Chiaki say that he could tell a scary story, and that was more than a bit exciting for him.

He smiled at the group, introducing himself next. "I'm Kenji Takuto, and It's nice to meet you guys."

Kenji didn't know what else to say, really. He only knew Chiaki out of the group, and the blonde - who had said his name was Kettaro - seemed excited enough for everyone in the room, and, maybe even the whole dorm building. The quiet dark-haired boy looked uneasy standing there, holding the bags of candy.

"What's all this about a killer turkey and scary stories, Chiaki?" Kenji asked, looking at the only boy in the room he knew as a friend.

[kou]

Mio loosened up a bit with the help of Chiaki's hospitality and Kettaro's energy. He'd never really been around other kids his age, especially not anyone this loud or excitable. He simply stood awkwardly by the host and his blonde companion, trying his best not to stand out.

As the introductions flitted around the room, he suddenly felt small and helpless, realizing he had no reason to leave. Of course, he didn't want to leave, he just wanted to feel more comfortable around them. He swallowed hard and looked at the other boys. "I'm Mio Otsuka." he said finally, darting his eyes from this feet to the his peers. "I-It's nice to be here." he added, smiling shyly. "I've never been to a party before." Face it, Mio, you've never even had friends before.

”Well, I rented this movie about a killer turkey… It was all they had.” Chiaki said, laughing. Mio gulped and raised his eyebrows, a bit unsettled. He was never much of a horror fan, much less killer Turkeys. American films never appealed much to him, but if watching terrible movies with these other boys would make them friends, he would do it.

[kei]

The mysterious boy with the fedora hat was being so cool that it gave Kettaro goosebumps. He seemed really laid back and jazzy-- like a true artist or something. As Kettaro nodded with a smile to the boy with the fedora hat's question on introduction, he heard Chiaki beam a reply.

And then another great reply from a boy name Kenji. "I'm Kenji Takuto, and It's nice to meet you guys."
Kettaro flashed a smile towards Kenji and exclaimed, "Your name sounds great, Kenji Takuto! It just rolls off the tongue, hehe~"

"I'm Mio Otsuka.I-It's nice to be here. I've never been to a party before."
Mio's voice seemed really shy and quiet. That made Kettaro chuckle a bit. It also made him want to throw him a brotherly hug, but he'd probably pee his pants. So, instead he just gave him two thumbs up. Probably after that night, he'll be seeing a lot more of these guys around Aozora than usual.

After the blonde asked the men what was going to happen, Chiaki replied diligently, as usual. Kettaro began to feel sparkles all around him again. It felt like he was in a dream of some sort. He looked at everyone's faces and just couldn't wait to do fun slumber party stuff. However, since it was October and almost Halloween, Kettaro was beginning to feel frightened after hearing that they were going to do things that involved scary things. Not wanting to be rude, he laughed and tried to be happy about everything.
"Haha... Hahaha! Yeah! Scary stuff, woohoo~!"
