Locked to Grimsley
[ Welcome home, Grimsley! Welcome to your room filled with balloons. All different colors and sizes. Some of then even have hearts and winky faces drawn on them in marker. Have fun de-ballooning your room!

On his bed, once Grimsley manages to get that far, is a black-backed Joker card. On the front, it says "Gotcha!" accompanied by a ;* face.

And if he feels like investigating, he might notice Niou lounging against a fence across the street. ]





Locked to Firo
[ He's spent the better part of his day waiting for the right moment to do this.

He walks by Firo, shaking his umbrella in frustration. ]

Dammit. [ Casting a worried glance at the sky. Which... happens to be nice and blue, but whatever.

He pauses and looks at Firo critically. ] Hey you. Wanna do me a favor?





Locked to Kyouko
[ Upon waking up, Kyouko will find her entire room filled with cups. Bunches of them. There's hardly any room between each one, and they're covering her entire floor. Each cup is filled most of the way up with water.

On her bedside table is a black-backed Joker card that has "Gotcha!" scrawled across the front in black marker, along with a ;* face!

Once she gets out of her room, she might notice Niou lurking across the street. ]

[[ooc: if you decided you wanted to handwave Kyouko's and Heather's, then just ignore this! ^^; ]]





Locked to Heather
[ This one is a personal favorite of his.

When Heather opens her locker, she'll see herself! There's a very simple mirror hanging there. And tucked behind a corner of it is a black-backed Joker card. It has "Gotcha!" scrawled across the front, accompanied by a ;* face.

Niou is lurking just a ways down the hall, waiting to see how this'll play out. ]





Locked to Belphegor
[ Now it's Niou's turn to come through the window!

This kid is doing a barrel roll through Bel's room at six o'clock in the morning. Probably making a fair bit of noise, too.

Also probably not the best thing to do, considering Bel's an assassin and all. Either Niou doesn't value his life at all, or he has a pretty large amount of trust in Bel not to kill him! ]

Comments

[princecreepshow]

[ Not surprising at all that Bel wakes up when Niou comes in the room. He's already got a handful of knives in his hand before noticing who's coming in. Niou sure is lucky that he noticed so fast or he would have been a pin-cushion by now.

He lowers the knives. ] Morning~

[mathisradical]

[ A grin, even when he notices the knives. Probably got super lucky, and he's seriously counting his blessings. ]

Morning! [ Quite chipper, for it being so early in the morning. ] You should come with me.

[princecreepshow]

[ Yeah it is quite early. Not that he's got a problem with getting up early, but when he's not on a mission he likes to sleep in. Not that he's been on one since he got here. ]

I should? [ He puts the knives away and gets out of the bed. ] Gonna tell me where?

[mathisradical]

You should. [ Grin grin grin. ] My place. But that's all I'm sayin'.

[ Can you tell this Trickster as a trick up his sleeve? ]

[princecreepshow]

[ He laughs. ] That's plenty. Do I get to change first or do you want me like this? [ Because walking around town in a pajamas is no problem.

Oh no, not at all. ]

[mathisradical]

[ He thinks about saying 'I just want you, period,' but he's afraid it might be awkward.

But then he decides to say it anyway. ]

I just want you, period. Now c'mon, let's go.

[princecreepshow]

[ Just a little bit awkward, but Bel's going to act as if it isn't. They've been flirting before after all. Before realization hit and all that. ]

How romantic~

[ He won't even care about getting shoes on then. ]

[mathisradical]

Ain't I just? [ Grinning and hopping out the window.

See, thinks seem almost kind of normal between them again. Except for the whole crush thing. ]

[princecreepshow]

Very. [ He jumps out the window and lands next to Niou.

Well if they're not going to do anything about it, they'll have to work around it if they're not going to be all awkward around each other. ]

[mathisradical]

[ Niou's certainly not going to do anything about it right now.

Maybe later. Waaaaaay later.

Also, Niou totally isn't taking the street back to his house. He's going through peoples' backyards. ]

[princecreepshow]

[ Don't count on Bel being any quicker to deal with it.

That way's more fun anyway, so Bel will just follow. Who cares about private property and all that. ]

[mathisradical]

[ Looks like they'll be dancing their way around these feelings for a while.

And they're at Niou's house within a few minutes! Sure beats taking all those streets and getting there in twenty.

He's just going to barrel roll through his open window without worrying about waking up his entire house. ]

[princecreepshow]

[ They'll get to it. Some day. Maybe.

Bel jumps up on the windowsill and giggles as he watches Niou's rolling. ] You're so graceful, Bianco Natale~

[mathisradical]

Damn straight.

[ He proceeds to do stupid ballet jumps across the room to his closet. ]

[princecreepshow]

[ That makes Bel giggle even more. Lots of 'shishi's coming out of him.

He hops down on the floor. ] Such a pretty ballerina~

[mathisradical]

[ Niou does one last spin before bowing deeply. Then he throws open his closet and starts searching through boxes of highly questionable things he has in there. ]

[princecreepshow]

[ Bel gives him a round of applauds as he bows, grinning.

He sits down on the bed, leaning back on his arms to wait and see whatever Niou's looking for among those things. ]

[mathisradical]

[ Niou spends a couple of minutes digging through boxes. Eventually he emerges with a triumphant "ha!"

In his hands is a red collar with a cute silver bell on it. ]

What do you think? [ A vague question, but oh well. ]

[princecreepshow]

[ Bel tilts his head to the side. Blinks a bit behind his bangs. ]

Cute, I guess? [ Why is he asking though? ]

[mathisradical]

Cute enough to wear?

[ How much time is the appropriate amount of time to wait in a relationship friendship before asking someone to wear a collar for you? ]

[princecreepshow]

[ Wait is this going where he thinks it's going.

Can you tell he's a bit suspicious now? ] ....It depends?

[mathisradical]

[ Treading on thin ice here. ]

Depends on...?

[princecreepshow]

[ A bit yes, but not as thin as if it had been anyone else. ]

Like who you want to wear it. And where. And in front of who. [ He needs to confirm, right? ]

[mathisradical]

You. Here. And me. [ For now, at least. They'd discuss the technicalities later. ]

[princecreepshow]

[ OK, he was right. He's not completely against it. Just ignore the near-invisible blush on Bel's cheeks and you'll be one step closer, Niou. ] .....If it's just you it's okay I guess. [ So not sure what the hell he's agreeing to here. ]
