You Don't Impress Me Much (Eugene)

[Deleted]

“Thanks, I know,” Kodi shot back with a toothy grin. He’d been called much worse things before, mostly from Oriel. He didn’t mind. The dentokinetic chuckled at the unamused response, resisting the urge to give the scrawny boy a hair ruffle. “Don’t worry, if you spend enough time around me I’m sure the gay will rub off on ya,” he quipped smugly. “Just another reason t’keep me around, right?” Oh he was so funny.

Kodi’s opinion of women weren’t all that different from Gene’s, at least the negative aspects. He wasn’t at all attracted to them but he did find them annoying and dumb (probably because he’d never taken the time to get to know any more intelligent ones). Well, his mom was pretty smart and intimidating, and his sister was adorable, but they were the ONLY exceptions.

Boys were cute. And hot. Well, Kodi wouldn’t necessarily call Gene hot – he was a little too skinny and wimpy for that – but he was definitely pretty. “Aw. Well, I guess you’re cute enough in your other clothes. Or naked,” he replied.

Kodi was glad he had the sense to stay right in front of Gene, otherwise… He didn’t want to think about how broken and bruised and dead the other boy would likely be. “Sure you are,” he replied with a roll of his eyes. “Only because I caught you.” He didn’t realize how distracted he was by the food until he accidentally sat the younger boy down harder than he meant to. “Sorry. Too busy starin’ at this feast,” he apologized, only half-paying attention to Gene now that he had something else to chew on.

He quickly sat down himself and began loading up a plate, even before Gene gave him the go-ahead. “Mmf,” was all he managed to get out around a mouthful of meat and vegetables. “Ohmygod this is delicious. I have t’compliment the chef.” All earlier comments he’d made about the maid were no longer true, the old woman could do anything she liked as long as he got food like this. His eyes lifted after several minutes of self-indulgence to see the younger boy picking at an only partially-full plate. His brow furrowed. “Looks like I better take all of this stuff home if I don’t want it t’go to waste,” he complained. “No wonder you’re so scrawny. Eat some protein.” Kodi nudged the plate of meat towards Gene before diving back into his own meal. Before long, he’d finished one plate and nearly finished another before he finally sat back with a satisfied sigh. “I’m stuffed,” he mumbled happily.

Gene groaned. “I’d rather it didn’t,” he said. Gene enjoyed being his straight, antisocial self. The last thing he needed was to become one of those loud, annoying gays that this guy was only two steps away from being, in Gene’s opinion.

“That isn’t exactly flattering,” Gene countered to what he supposed was a compliment. ‘Cute’ was hardly what Gene wanted to be either. Though what he did want to be….he didn’t think he could pull off ‘manly’ either….not that he cared….yeah, Gene just didn’t care. He didn’t liked being labeled, in short.

Gene wouldn’t admit it, but yes he was also thankful that Kodi had the sense to stay in front of Gene so he could catch him in case of a tumble. He almost thought that Kodi ought to have just forced his help on the younger boy by carrying Gene in the first place, despite Gene’s protests. Yes….Kodi should have known better. If Gene hurt himself, it was definitely Kodi’s fault. His gratitude, of course, came in the form of the same throaty growl he’d been giving Kodi all night. Followed by an angry growl when Kodi put him down too fast and hurt his sensitive bum. “Sure…that makes it okay, doesn’t it?” Jerk. There would never be a time when Gene did not think Kodi was a jerk.

He was at least thankful that Kodi was eating the rest of the food. Gene was a picky eater, but he also didn’t like wasting food, hence why he only served himself what he thought he would eat. And only served it to himself in a manner that wasn’t disgusting, so he would eat it. “Mmhmm….she’s alright, I guess.” Gene had been eating Aggie’s cooking for years already, so his palette had probably become desensitized to whatever ‘deliciousness’ it had. “You do that,” Gene said, waving his hand over the spread. “Dogs make pretty good garbage disposals, after all.” He made a face of utter disgust at the plate of meat that Kodi nudged toward him. It was pork. Gene didn’t like pork. “I have meat,” he said, pointing at the few scraps of white meat chicken on corner of his plate. He was still nibbling away when Kodi announced the completion of his meal. “Good for you,” he said boredly, pushing a stray pea back into it’s respective pile.

It didn’t matter what Gene wanted to be, because in Kodi’s eyes, all he could see was ‘cute’ and ‘pretty’. The younger boy would be better off to accept that fact sooner rather than later. “We should go shoppin’ together sometime, then I can really get you some clothes that look hot,” he replied with a wink.

It would surprise Kodi to know that Gene was thinking that he should have just forcefully picked the younger boy up in the first place; he would likely tease the brat to no end if he found that out. It wasn’t up to him if Gene was too stubborn to ask for help when he obviously needed it. Had denied needing help, even. “Nice kitty~” he cooed, petting the younger boy’s hair at his growls. “Yes. Because food is more important than anythin’ but sex and books,” he declared. Especially good food that he likely wouldn’t ever get again unless he came and mooched some more another day.

Which was seeming more and more likely as the night went on…

Because this food really was amazing. Seriously, how could the brat be so picky when everything tasted good?? Even the vegetables seemed to have more flavor than usual. “Alright, right,” he snorted with a roll of his eyes. Even his mom didn’t cook this well, and she was a pretty good chef (even if her cuisine was a little more Chinese than Kodi preferred). “You can call me whatever the hell you like if I can bag this shit up as leftovers,” he gleed. In fact, as soon as he finished eating, Kodi would start doing just that, putting everything onto one or two plates and rummaging around until he found aluminum to cover them with. “Right… that’s, like, enough t’feed the world’s tiniest carnivore,” he sniffed. “Anyway, if you’re done with this stuff, I think I’m gonna take it back t’my place and write murderous threats on them t’make sure my roommates don’t eat it,” he announced. Kodi glanced towards the door, then back at Gene. “Unless you’re gonna get lonely without me,” he added with a smirk.

Shopping? For....clothes?? Gene made a disgusted face at the thought. Shopping meant he had to go out there, where the people were. It wasn't that he was anxious about being around people, like a particular person he knew. It was simply that he had to be around the stupid. People were stupid and not worth his time, save for a very few select people. And Kodi was definitely not one of them, no matter how pretty he thought Gene was or how much he grinded his ass. "You'll have to drag me out on leash before you'll convince me to go anywhere with you willingly." Kodi would probably enjoy that, though.

If Kodi wanted Gene to do anything, he was going to have to force the grumpy kitty to do it, even if it was something as simple as helping him when he couldn't walk. Stubborn Gene was stubborn.

"Food is an annoying necessity," he argued. If he could afford to only have the things he liked, then he would. Many of the things he had served himself weren't things he particularly liked, just things he could tolerate. It was fortunate that Kodi was there and had the appetite he did, otherwise a lot of the food Aggie had made would end up getting thrown away. "Be my guest," he said dully, poking at his food and finally nibbling on something that didn't look like it sucked too much. He growled up at the offensive punk. "As if I would be so stupid," he growled as Kodi continued to pack up the leftovers. "I don't need your company even in the slightest." Humph. He had his video games to keep him from being lonely, Gene didn't need anything else.

Kodi could relate in thinking that people were stupid, at least. Considering he was smarter than a lot of people his age (even though he never really took advantage of it), he had low tolerance for dumbness. But how else was a person supposed to get things unless one went shopping? Unless you were a rich brat that probably had your nanny do it. “I can do that,” he smirked. “I think I have one in my room somewhere.” That might be fun, hehehe.

“You’re crazy. Food is great,” Kodi grunted. He hadn’t known anyone before Gene that was so incredibly picky about eating. How could someone live like that? Whatever, he would just take advantage of all this good food that was going to go to waste otherwise. “I will.” It didn’t take him long to get it all wrapped up and ready to go, and it was obvious his presence was no longer welcome. “Sure you don’t. Well, I guess I’ll see ya around, then,” he smirked with a wave as he headed towards the door. “Oh, and you might want to cover those up tomorrow,” he added, motioning to his own neck in reference to the bruises now staining Gene’s. Kodi snickered and soon was out the door and gone. Mmm, leftovers~
