[18+] The Deal (Rem and Ukemextreme )

[ukemextreme]

"Really?" Takashi raised his eyebrows as he asked. He smiled and eagerly put the lid on it to let it boil for awhile before leaning back to the counter. "So...what time will your class be?" he asked softly, glancing at the things he cooked.

[Remalade]

"I only have one today and it's not until later. What about you?" Hatomi inquired. He ruffled up his own hair absentmindedly, his eyes still trained on Takashi as he waited for an answer.

[ukemextreme]

"Same...a little past 3," he muttered as he tipped the lid open to check on the soup. He furrowed his eyebrows a little bit. They were roommates but he didn't know Hatomi's schedule. He thought that they really needed to catch up on things.

[Remalade]

"Oh okay, I guess we'll be home around the same time then. As long as my professor isn't an asshole today." Hatomi shrugged. He'd never considered knowing Takashi's schedule before, but now he felt like it was something he should know. When he really thought about it, he knew very little about Takashi at all. His eyes settled on his roommate's face as he wondered about all the things he didn't know.

[ukemextreme]

He nodded. After awhile, Takashi felt like he was being watched and so he muttered softly as he turned off the stove and plated the food, "Hmm? Something wrong?" He glanced at his roommate with an eyebrow raised, slowly making his way to the table and placing down the food before motioning Hatomi to sit down.

[Remalade]

Hatomi turned when he realized that he'd been caught, and shook his head. He wiggled in anticipation and went over to his seat. He calmly waited until his roommate had settled into his seat across from him before eating. "Damn, this is good." he muttered.

[ukemextreme]

Takashi sat across from Hatomi and started eating. He looked up at his roommate though and smiled widely. "Thanks," he murmured before eating again. He glanced at his roommate from time to time as he does.

[Remalade]

Hatomi ate as well, noticing his roommate's occasional glances. At one point, he looked up at him right as Takashi was looking back, and he smirked. "See something you like?" he teased, winking at the other before going back to his food.

[ukemextreme]

Takashi's face heat up at the comment but scowls to hide his embarrassment before digging into his food. When he's done, he stood up and put his plates away in the sink before going back and leaning unto the table.

[Remalade]

Hatomi grinned into his food at his roommate's reaction. When he'd finished, Takashi was already putting his dishes away in the sink, and he pushed his dish over to him, a silent request sealed with a sugary smile. When Takashi returned to the table, he looked up at him curiously. "What are you going to be up to until class?" he inquired. Hatomi already had a few people texting him and asking to hang out, but he didn't feel like responding or going out at all. For today, he would be content to laze around the apartment. Unless Takashi provided more interesting suggestions.

[ukemextreme]

Takashi silently put away his roommate's plate too before furrowing his eyebrows and shrugging. He had never thought about what he'll do now that he's aware that Hatomi's home. He's usually in his room, going through his studies even though there are no tests for the day. "Well, I haven't really...thought about doing anything at all?" He blinked and looked at Hatomi. "Well, unless you have any suggestion?"

[Remalade]

"I'm too lazy to go out.....so just watch tv with me." Hatomi shrugged, standing up from the table. "Come on, you can rot your brain with some crappy daytime television instead of shutting yourself in your room like you always." he grinned cheekily. The blonde clung onto Takashi's arm and dragged him into the living room before he could protest. He plopped his roommate onto the couch and grabbed the remote before sitting down next to him and turning on the television.

 

"Ooh look, Baggage is on. It's this dating show where each contestant has some crazy secrets, and they have to reveal them all before they can get a date." he informed.

[ukemextreme]

Takashi wasn't going to protest. In fact, he was a little relieved that he had something to do other than study. He was plopped unto the couch, much to his distaste, but quickly shifted into a comfortable position. He watched his roommate fiddle with the remote. He stared at the show and grimaced before mumbling. "So...this show...even though it's a dirty secret, they would still get a date or something?"

[Remalade]

"It depends. Sometimes their secret is so weird or dirty that they get eliminated before the dating part." Hatomi responded with a shrug. He settled back onto the couch and relaxed, unintentionally sitting so close to Takashi that their shoulders brushed when he moved. The blonde watched in interest as the host revealed that one of the contestants had been arrested for stalking their ex, while another used to star in gay porn.

[ukemextreme]

Takashi didn't notice how close their were as he sat, focusing on the tv. The contestants were weird, weirder than he is. Some of them were criminals and his nose scrunched up at the mere thought of it. He wondered what would happen if he were in the game show. What would he say? That he's a virgin and that he'd never officially dated? He blinked and glanced at his roommate. Is this thing between them considered as a relationship even if it was just a deal? He pursed his lips and shook his head before focusing back on the tv.

[Remalade]

Hatomi relaxed and eventually found himself leaning on Takashi a bit. He laughed as the contestants spilled their secrets for the entire world to see. He couldn't imagine himself being on one of these trashy television shows. But he could picture one of his crazy exes dragging him onto one and demanding retribution for their break up or something of the sort. After a while, his thoughts drifted away from what they were watching, as per usual when he was sitting still for too long. He absentmindedly poked at Takashi's arm, and he was struck again with the thought that he didn't know much about his roommate.

 

"Where are you from, Takashi?" he asked suddenly, his voice surprisingly quiet.

[ukemextreme]

Takashi was so engrossed in the show that he jumped slightly when he was poked. He glanced at Hatomi then blinked. "Well...I'm from Nagoya," he mumbled softly, wondering why his roommate suddenly asked him such. "What about you?"

[Remalade]

"Nagoya? I think I've been there once. I'm from Hokkaido. My parents met there at a festival, then they moved back once they got married." Hatomi answered lightly. He realized how random the question had sounded. "Sorry, I just started thinking about how I don't really know anything about you. We've been living together in the same apartment for almost a whole year and I don't know much more than your last name..." he muttered.

[ukemextreme]

Takashi listened and blinked. Hatomi seemed to have a good family. And then he blinked some more in thought. Has it been really a year? He has not noticed. Maybe because Hatomi wasn't home most of the time. "Really...? I haven't...noticed...but yeah, to be honest, the things I know about you are your last name and some of the people you have the dumped that came knocking on our doorstep," he muttered jokingly, hoping to lighten things up. "Well, as for me, I've lived in Nagoya my whole life but I had to leave because of uni."

[Remalade]

Hatomi laughed lightly and nodded in agreement. Did he really bring that many people home? He hadn't really thought of it until now."Your whole life? What was it like there? Did you like the school you went to?" he asked, suddenly overflowing with curious questions. It was interesting to hear Takashi talk about something personal pertaining to himself.

[ukemextreme]

Takashi shifted a little, unconsciously throwing his arms around the other's soldier. His eyes furrowed and his lips pursed as he thought. "Well...it was...boring? Well, like me. I've had friends but we rarely hang out....or maybe I was a little distant. I don't know." He sighed then chuckled a little bitterly.

[Remalade]

Hatomi frowned, feeling the sudden need to defend him just a bit. "You're not that boring....you're just...studious." he smiled in reassurance. He found himself leaning into Takashi's embrace with a sigh. "There's nothing wrong with that, I guess. Maybe you just like being on your own." he shrugged.

[ukemextreme]

Takashi chuckled, a little grateful at what his roommate was doing. "Well...that makes me sound like an antisocial." He glanced at the other then smiled. "Well...enough about me...your turn."

[Remalade]

"Umm let's see, my parents worked in the city until late into the evening, so I was a latchkey kid and I spent a lot of time at my friends' houses. I kind of sucked when it came to academics, but I liked school because I could have fun with people I knew and there were lots of after school activities. And since my parents weren't home much, I got to throw lots of parties. I kind of became known for it by my last year." he smiled at the memories. Although he sometimes wished that his parents cared more about him, he couldn't deny that his younger years had been fun ones.

[ukemextreme]

"Sounds like a fun life you got," Takashi commented, nodding a little. He envied Hatomi a little for having such a talent to talk to alot of people and have fun. He pat the other's shoulder and sighed softly, staring blankly at the tv. "I wonder...wonder if someone would like me because...I'm not that fun....like you."
