[Uhh. After his traumatizing experience with Zelman and the heaps of kissing entries in the journal... well, if you're somewhere in-between the shortest route from the 6th floor to the kitchen right now, you may come across Neku. Sneaking. In a Neku-ish way.

And oh, if he's taking two steps backwards the moment you're in his vision range? Don't worry, it's not because of the garlic bread you ate earlier.]

[ooc: Do I have to add anything? Gogogo, you know the drill!]

[Rin shifts her weight at the counter. All is quiet and still, peaceful... it seems like he might make it... and then she takes a quiet breath. Not a normal quiet breath, oh no.

If you're the observant type you might recognize it as a prelude to a sneeze.]

[He's got his headphones on... uh-oh. Not only that, the music was turned down to minimum volume the moment he stepped into the kitchen. So he can't hear the more subtle noises right now but the bell's ringing would probably have a green pass.

Anyway, the boy is currently reaching for the handle of the fridge with a small victorious smile.]

...[And lo, Rin's sneeze comes to pass. And even though she mostly catches it, it's enough to send out a draft, moving all those charming silver bells from side to side and prompting several of them to ring softly...

Suddenly she is looking speculatively at you, Neku. B)]

[So, today's sna-- hmm? What's this sound...?

................

Oh, shi--

...And it suddenly dawns on him that the girl from earlier - Rin, was it? - is actually really, really cute. No, not just that, she's cuter than any girl he's ever seen. Neku turns around, giving you a puzzled look before slowly walking towards your table...]

[Rin herself looks up as the bells echo in her ears, gaze trailing around the kitchen until it lands on Neku. Maybe this rude boy just needs some encouragement to open up... I can't believe I just wrote that]

[Does it help that I laughed? Uh-huh, well, here he is, right before you. He leans in and gives you a soft kiss.]

[payback.livejournal.com]

[Yes. By now, Rin is catching up with this kissing curve. Their noses even only bump a little, and she kisses him back cutely!]

[He pulls back after a short while, staring at you silently before sighing.]

...Please, tell me you're not going to make me owe you something, too.

[payback.livejournal.com]

[Blink... blink.]

...Pardon me?

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

[Neku, what the hell.] It's... nothing. Sorry. Umm.

[payback.livejournal.com]

[LOL what.] Okaaaaaay...

[Pause. She rubs her face. Augh blush. But she knows this guy.]

...Neku, yeah?

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

[Just a remark about the... encounter he had before Rin. He meant to keep that in his head.] Yeah - you're... Rin?

[payback.livejournal.com]

[She laughs awkwardly. LOL Neku oh u.] That's the one. [Dramatic.] So, we meet at last!

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

Yeah. [He looks around.] Hey, shouldn't we take care of the bells first before... you know.

[payback.livejournal.com]

Yeah, good idea. [Give her a chance to recover, too. She goes to start moving some of the bells out of the danger zone. Hhh.]

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

[He turns on the music and starts locating all the bells hanging near to the ground.]

[Is just setting the decorations down outside the door, doing weird little movements in his direction when they jingle softly on occasion.]
