August 8/Backstabbing/PG13/Closed

[asano]

Character(s): Mairu Asano and Ren Yukio
Time: Mid morning
Location: Hallway of Boy's dorm

The sign on the double doors was very clear. "No Girls Allowed". Smirking, she moved her bangs out of her face and pushed through anyway. What was anyone going to do? Besides, she just wanted to have fun. The instant she stepped through the threshold, she overheard a fight in one of the dorms. How exciting. She smiled wide, and walked towards the door. Suddenly, the sound escalated, and a very clear "You're dead to me." came from the room.

Unfazed by the loud opening and slamming of the door, Mairu crossed her arms and leaned against the opposite wall. A very angry boy with knotted dark hair emerged, red faced and fuming. Ooooh, what's this? she wondered, pursing her lips. A break up? Getting curious, she stood straightened and approached him.

"Hey there." she said sweetly, walking towards him. Raising her eyebrows with interest, she walked a full circle around him. "Not bad." she commented. "Not bad at all." She looked up at him and winked. "You don't look so good, sweetheart. Need someone to make you feel better? I can be that person."

Completely furious, Ren walked down the hallway in such a rush because what he needed most at the moment was fresh air. But that was too much to ask for, apparently. And to his dismay, a pretty girl stopped him right in his tracks to... flirt with him? Ren gave her a weird look. He would throw in a sarcastic laugh as well, but he wasn't in the mood to smile at all. "'Sweetheart'?" Ren quoted as he pushed her against the wall. "Don't fucking fuck with me right now, bitch. I'm not in the mood. Now scram."

[asano]

"'Sweetheart'?" he asked, pinning her to the wall. Her eyes widened. "Don't fucking fuck with me right now, bitch. I'm not in the mood. Now scram."

Ah, an angry one. Those were generally the most fun; their feelings were so mixed up that they'd make stupid decisions, and when things simmered back down, they'd have the most problems to deal with later. Not the mention how good the rough make outs were.

So far, this big bad wolf routine was great, and as much as she wanted to laugh, she didn't. For now, she just wanted to see how far he could go before he'd give in.

"I see." she said calmly, her coy smile not even twitching. "But I'm not going anywhere," She put her hands on his chest and pushed him against the opposite wall. "and either are you." she added, shaking her head slowly.

[ariana]

Ren gave her another weird look as soon as she pushed him against the wall. Was this girl being serious? "You must be new here." Ren said as he slapped her hands away from him. "No one bosses me around, not even a girl like you. I'm not a fucking idiot, you got that?" He glared at her and wondered what the hell she was up to. The way she was wearing her uniform made her look like a cheap prostitute, that he was sure of. Trying his best to keep his eyes from her body in general, Ren looked down the hall and started to calm down a bit.

The thought of telling her that he had a girlfriend didn't really seem like a good idea. Well, for one, he didn't want to remember what just happened in his dorm room and second; He was still offended at the fact his own girlfriend called him a douche. Getting angry at the thought alone, Ren looked at the girl that was flirting with him just for the fun of it.

"Is there any reason you plan on wasting my time, or..?" Ren asked bluntly as he pushed her away so he had room to breathe. Her perfume was so strong, he was getting a bit dizzy.

[asano]

"You must be new here." the boy said, slapping her hands away. Well, this was new. Normally, the guy would gladly get a room with her, no questions asked, no fights. Especially guys just ending a relationship, they'd usually be all over her. "No one bosses me around, not even a girl like you. I'm not a fucking idiot, you got that?"

His anger only entertained her that much more, and her lips curled up mischievously. Maybe he could try to have self control, but she was already getting the idea from his body language alone, that he needed something to calm himself down.

Completely ignoring his assertion and questions, she laughed and held out her hand. "Sorry, that's how I introduce myself. Well, in your case anyways. I'm Mairu, by the way." His resistance was adorable, this could last a while. "Not even a girl like me, huh?" she asked, winking.

"Is there any reason you plan on wasting my time, or..?" he asked, pushing her away. Well this was annoying. He wasn't falling into her trap at all, and so she decided to speed things up.

"You sure let that little blonde haired girl push you around." she said flatly. "She's just a little girl, you know. She's a child. You're not a child. Are you? I'll just answer that for you. You're not a child, you're far from it." She crossed her arms again, and leaned against the wall beside him. "Oh, and maybe you didn't notice, but you're not wearing much." she laughed. "It's been a while since I encountered a guy who was wearing less than me."

[ariana]

Ren froze the minute this girl started talking about Ayame. Ren? A Child? Just a moment ago, Yousuke was calling him a child, wasn't he? Yousuke was looking down on him because of his immaturity, and coincidentally this girl - or, Mairu, comes around and starts saying he's "not a child", and that he's "far from it." The words coming from her mouth were the exact words he wanted to hear from someone right now. Someone like Ayame. But instead, the girl that meant the most to him called him nothing but a douche. Feeling slightly betrayed at the fact a random stranger treats him better than his girlfriend, he smiled a bit.

"Mairu, right?" Ren said as he crossed his arms just like she did - "Well I appreciate the fact you think I'm not simply a child, but that 'little blonde haired girl' is a different story." He said, sighing. He's calmed down now more than he thought. "But you're right. She pushes me around too much, doesn't she?" Ren was thinking out loud to a whore. Now that was something Ren didn't do everyday.

"It's been a while since I encountered a guy who was wearing less than me." Ren looked down and remembered that Ayame made him sleep in his boxers and nothing else. He stood there, silent, thinking that he had to be naked for the rest of the day until his two backstabbing friends left his own dorm. "Shut up, I don't want to be hearing that from you. You're a pest."

[asano]

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught what appeared to be a smile. Maybe this was going to work after all. "Mairu, right?" he asked, copying her position. "Well I appreciate the fact you think I'm not simply a child, but that 'little blonde haired girl' is a different story." Her eyes narrowed. This wasn't going quite how she wanted, but for the love of the game, she stuck it out, just barely listening to what he said. "But you're right. She pushes me around too much, doesn't she?"

Well, it was a start. Returning her arms to her sides, she turned her head to face him. He really was attractive. Of all the guys she'd seduced, he was one she'd remember, not just for his talking, but for his looks. "Exactly." she replied, smiling.

"Shut up, I don't want to be hearing that from you. You're a pest." She pouted. So he was still trying to that act up? He was the one being a pest so far; not complying, not giving in, having will power. Mairu was amazed herself for not giving up on him.

"I'm a pest?" she asked innocently. "You storm out of your dorm, clearly upset, I offer you comfort, and I'm the pest?" She wiped the sweet expression off her face and pushed him back against the wall. "I think we both know that someone else is the pest here. So what do you say we do something about that?" she whispered, gracefully running her fingers over his shoulder to the nape of his neck.

[ariana]

"Did I ask for your shitty comfort?" Ren snapped as he grabbed her hand tightly. He glared at her and roughly let go of her hand, not sure why he was just standing there with her. He could easily just walk away, and this situation would be over with - but there was something he was curious about, and he couldn't quite make it out. Something made him want to stay there to figure this girl out. "What can a girl like you do to someone like me?" Ren said as he stared at her face.

She was physically attractive, that was for sure. It made Ren wonder why he was with Ayame if he could just play around with girls for the rest of his life. Being committed wasn't something fun, now was it? It was ridiculous how much this girl made him doubt his relationship with Ayame and yet they've only spoken to each other for two minutes.

Not being bothered by the fact he was only in his boxers, Ren continued to stare at the girl infront of him, waiting for her to make the moves. "I'm waiting. Entertain me, Mairu."

[asano]

"Did I ask for your shitty comfort?" he snarled, grabbing the hand she draped over his shoulder. They stared at each other for a few seconds, and he tossed her hand away. All the while, she didn't move her eyes from his, intent on getting her way.

"And how often do people ask for comfort?" she scoffed, raising her eyebrows, and folding her arms again.

"What can a girl like you do to someone like me?" he asked, almost anxiously. So he was finally coming around? Rushing it could ruin it, but she wasn't in the mood to wait much longer. "I'm waiting. Entertain me, Mairu."

Cracking a snide smile, she let out a soft, mocking chuckle. "As you wish." she answered, uncrossing her arms. She took a step forward, and grabbed his shoulders, pinning him against the wall. Still, she knew this wouldn't hold him if he decided to back out, so she raised her knee, and pressed it to the wall between his legs. No guy was tough enough to take hits there.

"But before we really get started, tell me something." she whispered, closing in him until her mouth was just centimeters from his, the faint scent of alcohol and sweat wafting from his bare skin. "Do you love her?" she asked, hoping he'd get who she was talking about. As fun as it was to turn a couple against each other, it was twice as fun to toy with whichever party member she managed to get in her grasp. "Wouldn't it be a shame if you did, and she happened to catch you like this?"

[ariana]

"And how often do people ask for comfort?"

Ren raised his eyebrows - "Never. Comfort is for the weak and pathetic." Ren muttered as his eyes never left hers. The next thing he knew, Mairu's knee was in between his legs. Typical. Ren's been in this situation before, so it wasn't anything new - but did she really think Ren was that easy? Then she asked him the question. The question he's been afraid to answer, the question he actually doesn't know the answer to.

Does he really love Ayame?

Ren widened his eyes a bit and tried to avoid eye contact. "Is that any of your business?" Ren said in a rude tone as he realized how close their faces were. "Wouldn't it be a shame if you did, and she happened to catch you like this?" This girl acted like she knew everything about him, and that made Ren smile. "I couldn't care less." Ren said honestly as he stared at her directly, not running or pushing her away this time. "Loving her or not, what's the point? I constantly doubt everything we have, and that's not how a relationship should be now, should it?" Ren shook his head. "I'm trying my best all the time with her, and yet it's never enough." Ren whispered as he looked down, putting himself into a shittier mood.

Right now he just felt like crying... or playing piano. He just wanted to be alone to think. He wanted to go home and be with his dog, and his good old friends to cheer him up and cater to him whenever he needed something. He just wanted to forget the world around him and focus on the more important things. But he's stuck in a middle of a hallway, half naked with a girl that was about to stick her tongue down his throat.

Once, just once, Ren wanted something to go his way.

[asano]

"I couldn't care less." he said arrogantly. "Loving her or not, what's the point? I constantly doubt everything we have, and that's not how a relationship should be now, should it?" She wasn't one to know the first thing about relationships, but she nodded her agreement, and proceeded to dot soft kisses on his neck. "I'm trying my best all the time with her, and yet it's never enough."

God, all this raw emotion was enough to make her drop it right there, but she wasn't going to let it go just yet. After all, how many times would this happen again, where she'd catch the tail end of a fight, and end up in a hallway with a gift that was already unwrapped? Probably never.

She pulled away gently, and with her best fake sincerity, she lowered her knee and looked him dead in the eyes; the windows to the soul. Most of the time, when you look directly in someone's eyes, you can see their vulnerability, their weakness, their lies, but all she saw in this boys eyes was pain and confusion.

Cocking her head to the side, she put her hand on his cheek. "If that's really how you feel, you should just break it off before you hurt yourself even more." she said sharply. "Why put yourself through all this suffering if your reward is simply more suffering?"

[ariana]

Ren nodded. What she said was correct, but for some reason, he just couldn't see himself breaking up with her. "Look." Ren said as he looked up, "This is my business. You have no right to tell me what you think about my relationship." Ren said as he shrugged her off and moved so they would no longer be touching. "I think I know what to do." He snarled at her as he felt disgusted at the fact he actually let that creature touch him. "I suffer because I actually really do care for her." He shook his head, not believing the words he was saying.

"I'm not going to make the same mistake twice. That 'little blonde girl' means a lot to me, and I think you need to find someone like that on your own. A little whore that gets around like you wouldn't understand the situation I'm in." Ren smiled at her as he raised the middle finger at her. "Nice try, Mairu."

[asano]

She rolled her eyes as he went off on yet another emotional digression. It wasn't worth it. "You're no fun at all," she muttered, buttoning her shirt up. "All this caring and loving bullshit is giving me a tumor." she muttered, disregarding everything he said.

At the end of his speech, he raised his middle finger to her, as if that actually meant something. She'd gotten that gesture nearly a thousand times in her life, and from the first time, to this last time, it still had no effect on her. Sighing heavily, she gave him one last glance, not wanting to forget this guy in particular. Even though she didn't get what she wanted, there was something about her that drew her towards him. She'd definitely see him again.

"I think I was wrong about you." she said, grinning smugly. "You are a child." She fixed her hair again, and turned around. "Let me know when you grow up a little. We could have some fun together."

And with that disparaging comment, she turned around to blow him a kiss and headed back down the hall, scavenging for her next victim.

[ariana]

"Now I'm a child because I don't want to sleep with a cheap girl like you?" Ren started laughing and shaking his head, not believing this girl at all. "Unlike you, I have standards. And somehow, I can never take the words that are coming out of your mouth seriously." He shrugged, sort of proud of himself. "Although.." Ren muttered as he winked at her slyly, "I'll keep that offer in mind."

He couldn't believe it himself, but if Ayame wasn't going to talk to him, who was? Ever since he's been in a relationship, all he's been experiencing was emotional torture , and for once he really did feel alone. He needed a rebound, and it so happens that Mairu was there to help him in that area.

Ignoring the fact she called him a child, Ren watched her walk away and sighed. First Sora, now this girl? Ayame was going to kill him.

[end? i don't know :-(]
