Fifth Floor Common Room, Tuesday Evening

The fifth-floor common room had been transformed into a riot of color and sound by the two intrepid decorators. When you had Rikku and Dōjima doing the artistic design, and they were basing it off of Romeo's collection of loud shirts, it was bound to be, ah, creative.

There were balloons and streamers everywhere, and the party even had some piñatas full of candy for people to swing at. Simply because everyone (Rikku) liked candy, and Dōjima was a fan of party games that made other people look like idiots.

[OOC: Up way-early for SP/timezone goodness, and open to all!]

"Stronger than just yelling and shouting and shoving?"

Ino resisted the urge to facepalm. Barely.

"Not that kind of strong." You dork. And that was said fondly.

"What...other kind of strong would there be?"

Of course, Cal did have an idea. But his idea being applied by Ino was something that didn't quite compute logically in his brain.

Possibly because he couldn't imagine her using that on him in any recent memory at all, which was pretty disheartening if he thought about it too much.

Ino put her hands on her hips.

"You can't seriously be that thick," she said, mostly amused. "I'm not above using my feminine wiles to get what I want."

"You've never used your feminine wiles against me," Cal argued, brows frowning as he tried to understand exactly what he thought of that. "I only get yelled at and pouts!"

He was now remembering that last radio he did, too, and he clicked his tongue slightly in petulant annoyance. Girls were way too selective in their wiles.

"You had a girlfriend," she reminded him. "And I might not have the whole... not-cheating thing down to a science, but I'm not that thick. And before that..."

That got a bit of a shrug. "Wasn't sure what you'd think."

Cal felt himself go a little red in the face; Ino probably did have a good point there, although, really, he always felt she'd totally overreacted with his whole thing about hugs at first, and, well, now she knew why he was like that.

Kind of.

Part of it.

"Don't have one now," he pointed out, quietly, but, almost before that even got out, he tacked on an addendum in a much stronger, bolder voice, "but now I know your evil plot and will be immune so don't even think of trying it!"

Poor Cal didn't even know if that was sincere or the worst attempt at reverse psychology in the world.

"No, you don't, but..." she said, tilting her head at him. Well, really, she didn't even know what was going on with Ichigo and if anything would count as cheating.

A beat.

"And you wouldn't know when, or where, I'd strike so I'm sure I could totally catch you off guard."

"That suggests," Cal reminded her, "that I ever let my guard off in things like that. You know I don't."

Only after they'd gotten well past that point and even then...He'd even always made Amber turn out the lights.

"That too," she sighed, rolling her eyes. "Even though a good make-out session is totally an easy way to get some people to do things for me."

Read: Getting Ichigo to do things for her.

Cal cleared his throat a little. "You go with that tact often, Ino?" he asked, with no judgment in his voice at all. Really. None.

Okay, maybe some; the little look he gave her probably didn't help, either, but, really, who used make out sessions for leverage?

Thought the boy who slept with his best friend's brother to get back at her for liking another guy.

She tossed her head. "Mostly with Kabuto, when he was here," Ino said, steadily staring at him. "And since we were dating, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. And done it a few times to Ichigo since."

"Make-out sessions and getting flashed," Cal muttered. "I don't think I know this Ichigo guy, but," he kind of hated him at that moment, "he's a lucky son of a bitch."

"It's fun to make him spaz," she said, by way of explanation. "And he's not that lucky, or he'd have a saner dad."

"If I had to pick a sane dad or boobs," Cal remarked, "I'd pick boobs."

Of course, his father had been sane and was dead and therefor no longer a threat; he even had the Greek Orthodox tradition supporting him in knowing that, since he stood guard at the door during the funeral, Milton would not come back to haunt him, beyond the ever-there imprint of messed up genes.

Ino laughed. "Yeah, well, so would he. But he'd also rather his dad didn't go 'round asking if I'd made a 'man' out of him yet. And being generally creepy."

"...His dad did that?"

"Didn't even ask my name first!" Ino made a face. "Mental."

"Well," Cal said, pausing dramatically before he asked, "have you?"

He prepared to be smacked for that one.

She kicked at him and tried to smack him.

"Cal!"

"Ah-how!" Oh, the mixture of pain and wanting to laugh was a bitter brew. He gingerly rubbed at least one injured spot as he defended himself with a, "You're the one talking about it."

"And it's none of your business asking if I have or not," she informed him. "Though I do rather you over Ichigo's dad."

By quite a margin, really.

"Hey, I'm sorry, but if you're going to sit there and talk about making out with the guy to get him to do your bidding or whatever, I didn't think a simple question would be out of line."

"Asking if I'd had sex with him to get him to do what I wanted?" She glanced at him, frowning. "I've got more principles than that. And, not that it ought to matter, but I haven't slept with him."

"I never suggested you did that to get what you wanted," Cal said loftily. Even if she had, he'd be in no place to really judge. "Just if you had, and mostly as a joke anyway."
