Third Floor Common Room, Friday Morning

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Kaoru woke up the next morning having forgotten all his stress from the night before-of course it was still early. Friday's were now do-nothing days so he hadn't pushed to wake up all that early.
Still, it's never too late in the day for coffee.
//Hikaru.... you want coffee...?// Kaoru rolled over in his place and shook Hikaru lightly, only getting a groan in response.
//Right... I'll do that..// He got up to grab the cup so he could fill it with water when he noticed that...the cord for the machine had strangely gotten chewed through. Ugh.
//I'm gonna go make some in the common room...// He yawned, stretched and heard another groan emit from Hikaru along with a spasmic wave.

That's where he was now, in the common room with some high quality coffee beans. He set to the task of grinding them and measuring the amount he'd need to make a pot for the two of them.

The rythmic drip drip of the coffee maker sure could be mesmerizing.

((open but also expecting someone. free coffee if you ask~ +slow))

That large lump in the chair suddenly moved, a grunt emerging at the smell of coffee being brewed.

Chad shook his head. He didn't remember falling asleep in the common room last night, but he guessed he did. Stretching and letting out a great big bear yawn, he turned toward the source of the smell.

Kaoru heard the noise and turned, not having noticed Chad when he had walked in. Probably because he was still blurry from sleep. "Hey...have you been there all night?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad rubbed his eyes with his hand, grumbling and grunting indistinguishably.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh.." He shrugged and continued to watch the coffee drip into the pot.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Eventually, the grumblings and gruntings turned into something resembling real words.

"I smell coffee."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Kaoru laughed softly. "Your nose tells you correctly. Want some?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Coffee good," Chad grunted, sitting up, his heavy shoulders drooping forward, arms hanging between his legs, knuckles almost brushing the floor.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Did I just witness the transformation into caveman?" Kaoru snickered and pulled out another cup.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad gave him a questioning grunt as he turned his head.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Kaoru waved his hand at him and started pouring coffee.

Matilda was carrying a note as she padded down the hallway, she COULD do this. She had to give it to Kaoru. Later. Right now.... she should get some breakfast and procrastinate put off wait on the letter. Then she noticed Kaoru in the kitchen. Uh-oh.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Unfortunatly, he wasn't facing the hall and in his sleepiness was just staring at the coffee dripping into the pot. It smelled so goood....

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Kaoru..." She says not too loudly, but certainly not too softly either.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Hmm..?" He blinked and turned his head, everything from the other day rushing back at once. "Good Morning." Act natural, that's all he kept telling himself; act NATURAL.

She lets the note drop from her grasp. And manages not to let her words snag too much. "Hey... I'd... like to go with you."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Scratch that.
"Really?! I mean..." Kaoru felt strangely uncomposed, it didn't help that he was in his pajamas and had his hair in disarray. "Okay." His cheeks tinted with a light pink

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

She smiles at him, blushing a bit herself. "So... you're making coffee? Need any help?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Sure." He ran his fingers through his hair. "Our coffee maker broke."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

She walks over and TKs two coffee cups over the the counter next to the coffee machine. "For you and Hikaru."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Kaoru's smile faded a bit at the mention of Hikaru. "Yea. Me and Hikaru." He wiped up the fallen coffee grounds and rinsed out the grinder.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

She notices, he probably is starting to hate how observant she is. "... Are you okay...?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

He shrugs. "I feel like a lier."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Do you mean... to Hikaru...?" She looks instantly very sorry. "We don't have to go... honest..."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"No, no. I want to go with you." Stop getting warm cheeks! STOP "It's just... I need to tell Hikaru. He doesn't know about our notes or this, I don't think he's even expecting this!" The coffee was almost finished dripping.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"He'll be... fine with it right...?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

He decided to leave the truth aside until the conversation with Hikaru had actually happened. "Uh, probably..."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

She breathes a sigh of relief, "Good... I don't want to get between you two..."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

The words 'you already have' did not leave his mouth. "Yea, don't worry about it." He smiles and pours the coffee into the cups.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"If you say so..."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Really." He nods and picks up the cups to carry back.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Kaoru... Have a good day."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

He nods, "You too."
