case 10 | action, dorms (closed to Aang and Hope)

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[Damian can tolerate a lot when it comes to his best friend. He can tolerate Aang's strange euphemisms (seriously, monkey feathers isn't impolite!), he can tolerate Aang's too-cheerful attitude, and most importantly, he can tolerate Aang's "no killing. EVER" policy towards just about everything they encountered in the Training Center.

But what he can't tolerate? Is an incredibly mopey Aang that hasn't bothered to leave his bedroom. Even the Instructors' houseplants had more energy than this! With a sigh, Damian throws a pillow in Aang's general direction and waves a finger accusingly:]

For the last time, stop moping around! The only thing you're going to lose in here is your sanity... and quite possibly mine too.

[SIGH.] You zift! Seize the slagging day already!

[Although he doesn't suspect it, Damian feels like he's talking to a brick wall.]

[The mention of ice cream makes him stop, allowing Damian to hold his hands still.] You're right. That isn't horrible at all.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Now come on. We've gotta go to the cafeteria to get some.

[Huh. Maybe he didn't have to make that death threat to Zuko after all...]

[monkingaround.livejournal.com]

Right. It'll be my treat. [Aang does feel kind of bad for moping around Damian's room for the past week or so. As he climbs off the bed, he keeps one hand latched onto Damian's to show his appreciation. It's only a little bit sappy.]

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[Had it been anyone else, Damian would've immediately let go of Aang's hand. But as it was... eh, he could tolerate it for now.] You sure? I don't mind paying.

[monkingaround.livejournal.com]

It's only fair. I have been camping out in your room for the past week.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

And stole my covers every night. What'm I supposed to do with you? [Mock grumbling as he lightly pokes Aang's forehead. He's totally teasing Aang in his own way.]

[monkingaround.livejournal.com]

Well, it is summer. It's not like you're using them. [He smiles a little at the teasing. The tickling put him in a much better mood.]

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[Just. Gives Aang a look. Even if it doesn't last for very long because he can't be too mad.] Sooo? Doesn't mean I don't want 'em.

[monkingaround.livejournal.com]

I'll bring my own next time I decide to use your bed.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[Okay, totally snorting now] I can live with that. Or I'll buy an extra-large comforter next time we're in town.

[monkingaround.livejournal.com]

I might just hog all of it.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Even one that's like, twice our size?

[monkingaround.livejournal.com]

Well...probably not.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Thought so. [Aaand they're at the cafeteria already. Damian's going to make a beeline for the ice cream.] What flavor do you normally get?

[monkingaround.livejournal.com]

[Aang grins, following him.] Green tea is my favorite.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Green tea's schway, but I like coffee better. [He looks for his favorite flavor, notices it's not there... and then grabs a rainbow popsicle instead] How 'bout red bean?

[monkingaround.livejournal.com]

Red bean is good, too. But I've never had coffee. [He finds the green tea ice cream and hands over enough money to the appropriate cafeteria worker to pay for his and Damian's.]

..... i thought i responded to this

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Really? Maybe you should try it sometime. [He feels like he should object to Aang paying for them, but he doesn't. Not this time.]

... Have you had like, coffee-coffee, though?

[monkingaround.livejournal.com]

Coffee-coffee? What's that? [Aang gives him a look.]

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Coffee. I mean, have you had the beverage?

[monkingaround.livejournal.com]

Uh, I don't think so. What does it look like?

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

It's like tea, but darker... and tastes worse, if you ask me. But the ice cream's schway.

[monkingaround.livejournal.com]

I'll stick with the tea. [He looks kind of put off.] But maybe I'll try the ice cream one day.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

You might like it. [grins] I think coffee's slagged, but put it in ice cream and it's schway.

[monkingaround.livejournal.com]

We can get it together the next time they have some.
