Outside the Dorms; Late Saturday Night.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad had returned to his late night, probably more than just a little bit creepy stalking around the town, and lingered a little around the outside of the dormitory upon returning.

No, he won't tell you what he was doing. No matter how much you asked.

Especially since it was all mostly just thinking, and nothing particularly bad ass or devlish at all. Although what he was thinking about made him feel pretty bad ass, anyway.

Pulling his jacket around himself a little tighter, Chad took a moment to lean on a tree, one foot propping up against it, and looking up toward the cloudy sky. A little chilly tonight, but he didn't mind. It was nice. He closed his eyes a moment, enjoyed the quiet of the night. Homecoming had been pretty damn good to him...

Chad was mid-nod in response to Ranma when Mizu barked. He didn't speak Canine, no, but he understood that well enough, and, feeling that perhaps Ranma was a little more comfortable with sticking around, Chad crouched down and started scritching behind Mizu's ears. "Don't worry, boy, I didn't forget about you..."

Mizu looks now contented, he'd purr if he was a cat, but since he's not he only pants with his little tounge lolling out. Ranma was slowly working up his courage to say something... He tried a few times but the words wouldn't come out. He stands still, taking a deep breath and going for another try. //Uh... Chad... Did... you mean it...? I mean... yesterday...?//

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad looked up and over at Ranma with a tilt of his head, petting uninterupted. //"Hm? Mean what?"//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//All that... stuff...// She can't say it! Why's he making him try!?

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

//"All the stuff I said last night?"//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

He nods a bit. Ugh, now he's blushing as he remembers it...

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

//"Of course,"// Chad said simply, turning back to Mizu. //"Why would I say it if I didn't?"//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//... W-Why'd ya say that... are ya... jus' tryin' to play a joke on me...?//

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad frowned; what, did Ranma think he was the type of person to lie and do things like that? It bothered him a great deal to think that he did.

//"No,"// he said, a bit tersely, trying to focus on Mizu more. //"I said it because it's what I was thinking."//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

More like he had noooo self esteem in the matter... it had nothing to do with Chad's character at all. He fell silent again. He doesn't know what to say, or how to say it...

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad grunted; Ranma's silence only seemed to aggitate the little kernal of anger that had dropped inside of him. Poor Mizu; Chad's usual scritches were definately not as gentle as usual today.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//'m jus'... not used ta it...Seems like... no one would say it unless they were kiddin'...//

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Another grunt. What kind of fucked up logic was this guy following?

//"I don't talk much, Ranma. Why would I use the few times I do to say something I didn't mean?"//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

He had this problem with a temper, and it didn't matter what mood he was in, it could plague him at any moment. //Well how'm I supposed ta know?! Why'd ya pick me anyways?! I ain't good at any of this!//

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

//"Pick you?"// Chad turned his head and looked at Ranma for a moment, but turning his gaze away again with a shake. His hands left Mizu's head and went to his knees, to help him pull himself up.

Once straightened, he run a hand through his hair, angled himself slightly toward Ranma. //"Ranma, look; I'm sorry if what I said, what I did last night bothered you. I guess I wasn't really thinking when I did it. If I'd've known it'd bug you so much, I'd have just kept it to myself."//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//It ain't like that! ... Well not really... cuz I.. it was... really nice... I just... wasn't sure why you'd be sayin' it ta me...// Even in the poor light he could probably see how red Ranma was. And not just his hair, mind you.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Hand through hair, big heavy sigh, and a very direct look at Ranma. //"Do you need me to say it again for you to get it? Because I will...."//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

Flail flail. He usually doesn't flail but... hoo... //N-n-no! S-s'okay! Ya don't gotta do that...//

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Well, shit, now the idea of it just had Chad romanced, and it was clear that Ranma seriously needed to be assured that he had meant it. Ranma's flailing is contained by two large hands, one of each shoulder, and Chad leans in to look Ranma straight in the eyes. //"I meant it, okay?"//

Ideally, in his head, he would have kissed Ranma again. But he was already pushing things enough.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

Ranma manaaged out the tinyest squeek. So close... he's not going to... kiss me again right?! I'm not ready for this! I'm not... Agg I feel so light... My head hurts... He might feel Ranma going limp in in his grasp, if he's not holding him pretty tightly he'd flop to the ground in a heap.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad blinked. "Uh...Ranma?" Light shake.

Yup. Ranma had totally just swooned. And Chad hadn't even kissed him. That certainly made Chad feel a little better about himself, but he still have a very limp Ranma in his hands that needed to be dealt with.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

He's seeing little chibi Chad's tangoing around in his mess of a brain.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Hup." Chad worked Mizu's leash from Ranma's hand and then swept Ranma up in his arms. He turned to the puppy. "Come on, do your business, so we can get him inside before he comes around and punches me in the face."

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

Mizu, as if he's trying to play matchmaker, sniffs at different places for a bit, not finding a spot yet. Ranma starts to wake up with a soft, and unfortunately girly, moan.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Dios, Mizu, it's not like you gotta build a home there, or something.

Chad turned toward Ranma when he started to stir in his arms, thinking of putting him down quickly, but deciding, what the hell? He'll make up, Chad'll deal with the consequences. S'not like things could get any more convultuted than they already were...
