[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!]

[... Waits until his hand is on the handle to comment:] I'd stay wary if I were you, Neku.

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

...?

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

Open it up halfway, slowly.

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

.......... [That look says it all.]

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

[...] What? You don't trust me, partner?

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

.......... [Stop abusing that one for your own convenience.]

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

[Who, Joshua? You wound him, sir.] All right, don't say I didn't warn you!

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

What about telling me outright what's inside of it?

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

It's easier to explain with the visual, Neku. I'm not going to explain until you're willing to meet me halfway.

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

[............

Opens it. Sliiightly.]

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

[Walks forward a bit.] Stop it right there. Don't put your hand in there, just look.

[There's a bit of thin string inside, with one end attached to the door of the fridge and one attached to the back. There is a bell tied to the string in the middle. If Neku had opened the door any wider, the string would definitely have snapped, which would have made the bell fall and ring against whatever it hit.]

[...Whoa. Either someone's really bored up there, or... He turns back to look at Josh.]

...So, how come you know about this?

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

[shrug, sips his drink] Been watching people make fools of themselves all day.

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

[Your way of killing boredom. It's a mystery to him.] Just watching?

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

[raises his cup to Neku before taking a sip.] It's a good party. The same scene over and over again.

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

[Closes the fridge.] And now you're just being creepy.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

I've heard that being honest around each other is supposed to help deepen a relationship. Good going, Neku. Have a cookie.

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

[Least one of us tries. Sigh. He raises his voice] A can of Coke and fries, castle.

[mmm-paradise.livejournal.com]

Nice thinking, partner. [a little laugh] You didn't even need my help for that one. Baby steps, Neku.

[expandhorizonts.livejournal.com]

[Business all done, now to return back to the safety of his room. Chews on a few fries as he walks towards the door.]

Hmm... that's not a bad idea. Wonder if there's anything to eat in - [opens the pantry door]

[sound of a string snapping - ding!]

... [peeks inside the pantry door before shutting it.] That was entirely unexpected.
