In front of the dorms, Sunday afternoon

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Mellow completely restored after his very successful trip to Toronto, Jude had spent most of Friday and Saturday, to no great surprise, sleeping.

Now, he was engaged in his other favourite pasttime. Or he would, if he could figure out what had happened to his axel after that fountain dive from the second floor of the mall over the dude in the panda suit.

He sat on the steps with his board across his lap, deep in concentration.

"I feel bad it's always your room," she said nervously. "But, uh, I can't imagine ... asking Hermione, yeah?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Jude considered. "That . . . totally wouldn't work."

[the_merriest]

Rikku shivered. "I know. Yeah. Uh. So ... lemme split the pizza costs, yeah? It's only fair."

"I'm a totally modern-type dude," Jude said mellowly. "That's okay by me." He squeezed her slightly.

[the_merriest]

Rikku giggled. "Besides, I'm the one with the pimp hat. Okay, not really. I need to get one. I think I would rock the heck out of a pimp hat."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude chuckled. "Okay, I totally know what I'm getting you for our next anniversary."

[the_merriest]

"Does that make you my ho?" Rikku grinned. "And you will? You mean it? Something really tacky and bright with a feather on it, oh man, that would rule."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Have I mentioned lately how awesome you are?" Jude pondered mellowly.

[the_merriest]

Rikku blushed, and leaned over for a quick kiss. "'Cause I want a pimp hat, or 'cause I called you my ho?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Both," he said after another long moment of consideration.

[the_merriest]

Rikku giggled. "I don't know what a good 'ho' gift is. I mean, if you get me the pimp-hat, what should I get you?"

She blushed again, nuzzling his nose. "I don't think I want you being a ho, though. 'Cause that means other people could borrow you, and I'd have to follow you around beating the crap out of them."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"But then you'd get, like, no business," Jude pointed out, grinning. "So you'd be a really bad pimp."

[the_merriest]

Rikku leaned in for a lingering kiss. "Maybe I retire from pimping. Do I get to keep the hat? Please say I keep the hat."

"I think that's in the benefits package," he chuckled against her lips before kissing her again.

[the_merriest]

She giggled. "What's in your benefits package, then? If you're retiring and all, too. I mean, I hope you are. You're not gonna find yourself another pimp, are you?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Nuh uh," Jude assured her. "I got, like, company loyalty."

[the_merriest]

"I do take excellent care of my hos," Rikku said with a nod. "Medical, dental, and, uh, that thing I still owe you for curbjam."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"You think we got time for that thing now?" he asked, trying to sound casual.

[the_merriest]

Rikku giggled and nipped the tip of his nose. "Hmmmmm. Tea's not for another few hours. I definitely think I could pencil you in."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Then I totally got a question for you."

[the_merriest]

"Yeah?" Rikku said softly. "If it's 'do you love me more than just about anything in the history of ever?' then you're gonna like the answer."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"I like your question better. I was gonna why we weren't at my room already."

[the_merriest]

"Oh! I know that one." Rikku leaned up to nudge his nose. "It's 'cause your room's over there and we're over here. We need to actually go there in order to get there. Basic spatial dimensions 101. Isn't that neat?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"You are so totally smarter than me," Jude chuckled, tugging her towards the dorms.

[the_merriest]

"That's why I'm the pimp," she said, bouncing along as best she could with one arm wrapped around him. "That and you look cuter in a miniskirt."
