I Want My Dollar Back (Open)

"Don't worry. I'm.... I'm gonna get a job soon, and I'll be able to afford a million danishes," Phen replied optimistically. He just... Had to find someplace that was hiring that would actually hire some dumb recovering druggie like him, figure out how the fuck resumes worked, and not freak out during a job interview. Yeah.... Easy enough.

He was still unconsciously pouting at Nao's reaction to seeing his gorgeous lover, but as soon as he saw the boy's face fall, he felt bad. Shit.... He hadn't meant to sound mean. He hoped Nao wasn't too upset. Judging by the way he wasn't speaking, Phen wasn't sure. Dammit, he was still a jerk sometimes....

However, Phoenix's eyes widened and he gaped at Oriel as he began talking; he hadn't wanted him to say all this stuff in front of Naozumi. The kid was totally gonna freak and think Phen was gonna keep him locked up in a closet or something. "Babe, be nice," he hissed under his breath. Even if Nao was sort of vacant, it wasn't nice to say so. "Yeah yeah, got it," he mumbled, scowling lightly and swiping at the pointed finger. "I... I can cook just fine!" Lies. Oooh such a big lie. He couldn't cook to save his life, he'd probably poison the poor little kid. And Oriel knew that, why was Phen even bothering?

"Nao... You can leave whenever you'd like, Oriel's a bit, um..." He brought his finger up to the side of his head and wiggled it in a sort of 'crazy' gesture. "In fact, I better go give him his meds, so, uh, if you'll excuse us..." Embarrassed, he nudged Oriel back into their room, careful not to bump his leg too much. Between getting jealous and feeling like a creep for wanting to keep an adorable little human being around, Phen's head was in a weird place. "It was nice t'meet you! Uh, good luck with your homework."

Oriel glowered. "You? A job? How!?" It wasn't intentionally mean…ok, it was, but Oriel still wanted to know. While Oriel loved and supported his lover, he was also well aware of how completely helpless the pixie was on his own. It would take a lot of work for him to get a job.

Oh well, whatever.

Nao, on the other hand, would soon forget his disappointment at the taste of his danish. He paid no mind to the words of the tall hottie. The older boy could have probably said anything and Nao wouldn't have minded. Men that good-looking could get away with a lot in his opinion.

The offer to leave came as a bit of a surprise, however. Nao wasn't sure if the boy known as Oriel was really crazy, but it was true that Nao should probably let these two be alone for a while. Nao started off towards the door but then stopped and looked back suddenly. He was so preoccupied with danishing and ogling that he actually did forget to speak and say what was most important after someone offered you food and you consumed it. "Thank you."

And he continued back downstairs.
