~Reunited~

[zash]

Zuri just raised an eye brow and looked at him like he was insane. "Whatever. Food hog."

Zuri really didn't care at this point. He knew Ku would try to get a lot of food, so he made what He thought was needed and then left plenty of batter left. He finished his waffle and went ahead and grabbed his 4th one. That left one left, and if need be he would go make more for Ku and his piggly ness. Which, he isn't one to say much anyways. He put what he needed on his waffle and began to eat it.

"You know, I left some more batter over there too if you need to make more. Or just put it in your pockets for later." Zuri said as he gave Ku another weird look, kind of half expecting Ku to just do it to be an idiot.

[narkataraworshderg]

"Eh, too much work on my part," Ku replied with a half shrug while eating. "And I may just take you up on that offer...later." You would think he was being sarcastic, but he really didn't sound like it - just as monotone as ever.

He got done with about half of his waffle before he snagged the last one left. He clearly wasn't done eating the first one, and obviously just wanted to get to it before Zuri did. It was like Zuri said, after all - if Zuri wanted more, he could make it. Ku on the other hand wasn't going to get his lazy ass up to do that. He planned on eating both waffles anyway, and would probably have them both gone in a matter of minutes.

[zash]

Zuri took the last bite of his waffle. He was full and happy. He drank the last of his milk and leaned back. "Boy, that was good, and hit the spot. I'm gonna go join Ashton in the family room and watch some tv now. Feel free to eat away." Zuri said. He almost said feel free to do whatever but he knew that was a very bad idea. He just shut up at that point.

Zuri got up from the table and went into the family room. He sat down on the sofa on the opposite side of Ashton. He looked at the TV. Ashton was watching Saturday morning cartoons. He didn't really care. Least it was something half way decent and funny.

[narkataraworshderg]

Ku only nodded. It seemed that after Zuri had left the room, Ku's eating slowed, almost as if he didn't feel the need to guard his food anymore. He still finished all of his waffles, and after he was finished placed his plate in the sink.

Ku seemed to follow Zuri into the family room, but stopped and stood in the frame of the door for a few minutes. The cartoons didn't really interest him, and neither did sitting on the sofa with a couple of goons and 'bonding' over senseless television. Sure he could get into tv, but only if there were sex or violence involved.

After a few minutes the walked passed the pair, opened a door that led to a porch, and from there made his way out side. All he did was stand, it didn't take long before a pure black crokabek with demonic red eyes landed and perched on his shoulder.

"Hello Kohlar," Ku stated as he reached into his pocket. He withdrew the half of a waffle from earlier and handed it to the greedy bird, who devoured every last crumb. Yes, Ku had a strange relationship with his bird; you could say that his bird was his only friend, and the only thing he really cared about.

With his bird still perched on his shoulder, he went back inside, having become chilled from being half naked. There wasn't much left to do now, there was join Ashton and Zuri and that was about it; that, or he could sleep. Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to sit, on the floor not on the couch. It seemed no matter what he did, he was always trying to separate himself from everyone.

Although he stared at the tv, he wasn't really watching it. It was something to occupy his time at least, and he would probably leave before too long anyway.

[zash]

Zuri just kinda did the same there. He wasn't really watching TV. His mind wondered.

"What am I gonna do with Ku? He could stay here for a day or two. He probably wouldn't either way. He may stay for a day but that's about it. I really should wash his cloths, or he should. Haha, riight. Ah, it doesn't matter to me. They'd get dirty in probably a day. I just hope he hasn't done anything stupid recently. I didn't really ask him about what he's been up to for the passed few days. Ah, none of my bussiness. Plus Ashton is here. Like he needs more of a bad influence." Zuri's mind wondered off as he kept thinking about what to do with Ku and what to do for the rest of the day.

Ashton usually hogged the TV most of the day. Zuri did have one in his room, but with Ku here, he figured he try to keep an eye on him.

[narkataraworshderg]

Ku sighed, he could literally feel his mind numbing; he hated watching cartoon like this. Normally it'd feel good to just let go and relax, let your mind wander and not think about anything, but when he let his mind wander bad things tended to happen. He couldn't wander off too far or he could quite literally loose control of himself. It was like he had to force himself to consentrate, but there was nothing to concentrate on. He just keep thinking about how he hoped Zuri wouldn't try to do the laundray, and about how he would have to stop him if he did. He would probably end up splitting before that happened anyway, but just to be safe he'd guard his clothes like a rotwiler.

With anothe sigh he leaned back slightly, turned his attention to Zuri, and just began watching him think. It was kind of like one of those situations where you feel if you stare at someone long enough you believe you might actually be able to start reading their mind...but it never happened. Just made for an awkward moment.

[zash]

Zuri continued to wonder. At first he really didnt' notice Ku staring at him. He just kinda stared into the TV as everything went black around it. He was getting relatively tired at the moment. He was just happy he got done with his shopping. Then he noticed Ku staring at him. He just glanced out the corner of his eye as Ku had an intent stare locked on him. He just kinda wondered, "Why is he staring at me. Oi, he seriously has some issues."

"Why are you staring at me Ku?" Zuri asked as he turned his attention over to Ku.

Ashton just kept staring into the TV like a 15 year old idiot, mesmerized by the flashing lights and sounds.

[narkataraworshderg]

Ku's head jerked and he began trying to think of something clever to say. "I was just so attracted to you I couldn't help but to stare," he replied in a completely dead tone. Half the time it was impossible to tell if he were being serious or not. "Actually I was just thinking about heading out, thanks for the food and everything, but I need some sleep and...yeah." Holding still was just too awkward for him; he didn't like to do it, didn't much know how to do it for that matter. Zuri seemed like a nice fellow and all, but the guy really bothered Ku, and he wasn't sure why.

[zash]

Zuri just kinda stared at Ku like he was insane after the first comment. He just rolled his eyes and just shook his head. He looked over at Ashton who actually broke out of his trance and looked at Ku like he was a freak. Then after Ku said he was thinking about leaving Zuri spoke up. "Well you don't have to. I have a guest bedroom that you could stay in if you really wanted. But I understand, you'd rather get out of here and live life and get away from this bore."

Zuri would have to admit, after Ashton moved in he kinda settled down. A lot of things have happened in the passed few years. After his adventure with Abby and Strips things just kinda died out for him. The Underground stopped hunting him, the number of assassins hired to kill him slowed down and eventually stopped. Sure, he'd go out to places everyonce in a while, but it was always a hassle to have Ashton around, specially since he is afraid of flying. Zuri did leave him here from time to time but, that always ended up bad.

But Zuri just waited for a response for now.

[narkataraworshderg]

Ku tilted his head down, ears briefly folding back as thought. "I suppose..." he started, looking back up at Zuri, "...I suppose I'll stick around long enough to wash my clothes, maybe spend a night here, and then head out." He could honestly use one night in a warm bed; it had been three years since he had been warm and comfortable while he slept. There were a few instances where he had stayed with some 'friends', and by that I mean one night stands, but even then he never really slept.

Before Zuri could say anything more, Ku stood up and headed out of the room. He wanted to get to his clothes before Zuri offered to wash them for him. He wasn't completely incompetent; he knew how to turn on a washing machine. Granted after recollecting his clothing it took him a few rooms of searching before he found the washer and dryer, but oh well.

He hadn't forgotten about the pills hidden in his pants - that's why he didn't want Zuri messing with them and possibly finding them. Of course, with his pants getting ready to go into the wash, he would have to find another location for those pills.... his stomach was just as good of a place as any. There had to have been at least thirty pills in his pocket that he downed all at once. He placed the bars of cereal on a shelf in the laundry room, and then started on his clothes.

After finishing he walked back into the family room; he knew it wouldn't be too much longer he would start feeling loopy, but at the same time he thought he could play through it

[zash]

And that was when Ashton just happened to get the idea to smoke. "I'll be right back. I'm gonna go grab a smoke. I really could use some weed right now. Thanks for suggesting it."

Zuri pearked up. He agreed with Ashton, now would be a good time to smoke. He could use a slight high and weed was the best thing for it. "Oh hell yes. I'm coming too man. Why don't you go down to the smoke room and get some joints ready, I'll be right there."

"Alright, I'll be waiting. Don't waste to much time, I'll smoke it before you get down there." Ashton said back to Zuri.

"So, Ku. You up for a smoke of weed man? I think we could use a relaxing smoke." Zuri said as he watched Ashton head for Zuri's room. "Yeah, and all weed needs some good beer to right? I got some in the frigde. So you up for it?"

[narkataraworshderg]

That was certainly an interesting conversation to walk back in to; Ku was almost in shock. At first he wasn't sure if Zuri was being serious when he asked; both him and Ashton were underage, but at the same time it was obvious Zuri was being dead serious. "Er...um.....Hell fucking yes! I wanna get in on some of that shit." It would take ten to twenty minutes for the Tylenol to kick in, and if he planned on smoking and drinking at the same time.....God save his soul; this was going to be one hell of a wild ride. This was such a bad idea, but he really wanted to see how it turned out.

[zash]

"Ok. Uh, must follow me. And don't tell Ashton your not 21. I don't let him drink, but knowing you, you do and it really doesn't matter." Zuri said as he went to the fridge and grabbed a case of beer. He really didn't care if Ku drank, he figured he did it all the time anyways. Ashton probably does, just not Zuri's, and Zuri makes sure he doesn't drink. Plus it was just beer, weed and beer are different things and Ashton was to young for beer, weed on the other hand, well that was just to late and really didn't matter now.

"So yeah, just follow me then. We smoke in the panic room or smoke room so that the house doesn't stink of it. The smoke room is in my room so yeah." Zuri just lead Ku to his room and kicked the floor. A small hook bounced up and Zuri grabbed it and pulled up. The lach let loose and the hatch popped up. "Just down here." Zuri said as he went down the steps into the smoky room that lingered in the sent of weed.

[narkataraworshderg]

Ku smirked; something in Zuri's statement amused him. He wouldn't tell Ashton he was underage, not because he wanted to respect Zuri's wishes, but more so that he had no intentions of even speaking to Ashton in the first place. But that wasn't what amused the half-breed - what amused him was the thought of Zuri trying to keep him from drinking, if Zuri had wanted to try. Since Zuri didn't care they had no problems, but if he had, it wouldn't have faired well in Zuri's favor.

Ku followed right behind Zuri, almost uncomfortably close; he was incredibly eager, and didn't even try to hide it. On a side note, Zuri had a trap door in his room, this intrigued Ku. He figured it was unlikely they kept anything valuable inside, since they used the room to smoke in, but he still found it interesting.

[zash]

As Zuri entered the room after walking down the steps and down the hall. He found that Ashton had a few joints rolled out and ready. "Hey, about time you guys got down here. Oi, you even brought beer, and I of course can't drink any." Ashton said as he noticed the two coming into the room.

"Yup, you got that right. Ah, plus this isn't the great stuff anyways. This is just plain old beer." Which saying this made Zuri think, why was he drinking it, it takes like crap, but its still beer and he wanted a good buzz from the beer to go with the weed. "So yeah, get one of those things lit already."

"yeah, yeah, I'm going. Gotta get em just right you know."

"Yeah. Well Ku, have a seat here and we'll begin." Zuri said as he sat down on the couch in front of the table. Ashton was sitting in a recliner on the other side of the room near the table. Since Zuri hasn't really needed to use this room for its original purpose anymore its become more modernized, in a sense. There was a small boombox that had a wire running outside for radio purposes and it also could be used to play CD's of sorts. Next to it was a stand with a few movies, a decent collection of about 15 games, and CD's on it. Yet of course across from the sofa on the other side of the table there was a 16" TV sitting on a stand. It had a dvd player on it and a PS2 hooked up to it. This way the boys could play video games, watch movies, watch tv or just chill and listen to the radio. "Yeah man, just sit back and chill." Zuri said as he laid against one side of the sofa.
