Shouki purrs a bit as he nuzzles Asher. Just being there makes him very happy for some reason. He had to ask the question. He doesn't want to strike out twice in a row on bringing sweets for Asher to try/make up sweets. He failed horribly with chocolate. He doesn't want to fail with peanut butter too. He would just cry then. When he sees Asher frown, the chibi eyes become chibier if that's possible. "I'm sor-" And that's when Asher laughs....and he just blinks confused a bit. "Okay! So then you should hopefully like the fudge. It's really good...the person that I ask to make it....makes some good stuff. And she always has some."

Asher continued to laugh a bit, but it slowly began to die away as Shouki began to realize why he had been laughing. He wasn't really laughing at Shouki, but he emotional reaction to his dislike or like of peanut butter. He didn't really blame or think it as a bad attempt by Shouki with the chocolate. It was the thought of it that mattered to Asher. Since he didn't really have anyone that cared that much for him. Well, there was his mother, but she cared a bit...too much. "I'm sure I will." Asher said to Shouki with a smile. If Shouki liked it as much as Asher thought he would then he knew that it must be something good. Asher laughed and leaned against Shouki resting his head against Shouki's. "I can't wait to try it."

Shouki sees it as a bad attempt since it was meant to be something for Asher that he'd like...which failed horribly as everyone knows. So it was a failure for Shouki. And Shouki thinks Asher's mother is a little bit creepy clingy. Kids do need some room to fly and grow up...though maybe not as much as Shouki did though. "Good deal. It should be good." He just smiles, his tail wagging as he leans a bit to kiss Asher. "And I'll bring some taffy too. I haven't had that in a long time." Actually he doesn't remember when."

Asher smiled at Shouki though he still didn't think that there was any need for him to bring him candy. Asher didn't mind it and he knew that Shouki might have to go out of his way. He just wished in some way he could do something like this for Shouki, but he knew that wouldn't happen. He didn't have a way out of his home. "Okay, but you don't have to buy too much." He said fidgeting a bit with his hands. He looks up at Shouki then up towards the sky which was getting darker. "I don't want to go back..." He said softly. He didn't want to go back to his house.

[Sorry that I've been gone forever. It's getting towards the end of the school semester and I have so much going on with graduation coming around the corner.]

"I'm not doing this because I have to." Shouki randomly puffs his cheeks. "I'm doing it because I want to. Can't force me to do things I don't want too." When Asher looks up, Shouki joins him in looking at the sky. "I'm sorry, but you've got to go back. Your mother will worry." He still doesn't like that woman, but Asher does so he'll try to deal with it. "Though I don't know when you have to go back." He stretches a bit. "If your mother didn't hate me I'd say I'd come in and stay for a bit or something....but I don't think that would go too well do you?"

(I graduate next semester....and I still need to take my gen ed and major field exam.)

"I know, but..." Asher mumbled softly. He knew that it was something he couldn't get Shouki to not do. It wasn't like Asher thought he could really do anything to stop him anyway. "She'd worry no matter what..." He said puffing his cheeks a little. He didn't like that about her, but he was so used to it. It was just normal behavior for her and he expected it now. Asher rolled over to lay his cheek against Shouki's side as he looked up at him. "It wouldn't go well at all...I wish it could happen though." Asher would have liked if Shouki could have came into his home. "Will you be back tomorrow?" He asked knowing he didn't have much time left.

[I'm finally back!!!]

Shouki pokes him a bit. "Not buts! I'm doing it anyway." He kind of giggles before poking Asher's puffed cheeks. He can't stop himself at this point. "At least she worries about you." And hasn't abandoned you like Shouki was. But oh well, that's the past. He wraps an arm around Asher. "Yeah, I know." But he does not like that woman. Of course he'll try to be civil and all if they do actually come into contact with each other, but he can guarantee no more. "Course I'm coming back tomorrow. Gotta bring you candy!" He just smiles at him. "So no worries. I'll be back."

(YAY!)

"Hey!" Asher squirms a bit at Shouki's poking and covers his cheeks before sticking his tongue out at him. "She worries because she cares. At least that's what she tells me." Asher said frowning a bit. "She could at least try to trust me...I'm not a bad kid." Asher didn't do anything that would signify him as a bad child and he just wanted to have a friend. He didn't understand how that was such a bad thing. Asher smiled at Shouki when he said he would be. "Of course!" He said happily as he crawled up to give Shouki a hug. "I should go then." He didn't get up or break the hug though. He stayed there holding on to Shouki not wanting to let go.

Shouki kind of giggles a bit at Asher's reaction before sticking out his tongue at Asher. "Well, if she didn't care, why would she worry? There's no reason to do that if she didn't care. And it doesn't matter. You're her only child right? I guess....when you have only one you become protective of the one." He shrugs a bit. "I think she's too protective, but I can understand it." He just hugs back and nuzzles into him a bit. "Good. You'll be here right?" He feels the need to ask. And he isn't letting go either. He's getting as much of Asher as he can get.

Asher knew she cared about him and just wanted to protect him, but he want his space. He wasn't going to be little forever and she had to know that. "I know.." He said softly. Asher smiled up at Shouki and nodded. "I'll be here waiting for you." he wasn't planning on missing anytime with Shouki because it was precious to him. "Bye.." He said softly as he reluctantly pulled himself away from Shouki and stood up. He waved down at him before he turned on his heels and walked back towards his house. His mother was up, but wasn't waiting for him. She was on the phone with someone or at least that's what Asher thought he heard. He did his routine and got himself ready for bed and curled up his his bed.

Shouki can understand both sides...though he is more on Asher's side. He needs to be free someday. He just nuzzles into Asher a bit before kissing him. "Good, cause I'll be here." Except not all creepily all day stalkerish. "Bye bye." He's halfway doing some chibi eyes without meaning to. He doesn't want him to go, but knows he has to. He just waves back at Asher. Once he's gone, he just makes his way home after awhile.

The next day, after working, he's at Asher's again, with some taffy and this fudge this nice lady made for him.

When Asher woke up the next day he wandered around the house trying to find his mother,but she had left the house. Asher didn't know where she could have gone off to or why she hadn't at least told him. Asher took the chance to go into the kitchen to make something for himself and Shouki. At least then he would have something to give to Shouki in return. Asher baked some cookies for them because that was the only thing he really knew how to make. When he was finished he took them outside with him as he went out to find Shouki.

Shouki almost tackles Asher when he sees him, but he refrains and just hugs him and nuzzles him a bit. "I'm here if you couldn't tell!" He chuckles a bit. He just stares at the cookies, his eyes going wide. "Cookie?" Oh God help Asher. "What kind of cookie?" Not that he wouldn't like any cookie, but he likes some more then others. "Brought you some taffy...and this fudge this lady makes."

Asher smiles as he sees Shouki and he laughs at his greeting. "I knew I see." He chuckles. He gilts his head and gives a lurked frown at the reaction to the cookies. "Do you not like cookies?" He asked softly. He knew that he didn't like certain thugs so it would only make sense if Shouki didn't either. He only wishes he would have thought about that. "Sugar cookies, I only had ingredients for them." He looked down at the cookies and then up at Shouki and gave him a smile when he said he had brought the tardy and fudge. "Thanks!" He said.

"Good." Shouki nuzzles him a bit. He kind of pokes Asher at the frowning. "I just wanted to know what type they were before they disappeared in my mouth. And almost all cookies are good...except any with coconut." He makes this face at the coconut thing...a face that says he obviously hates coconut. "It has a weird texture." He just smiles a bit. "Trade off!" Suddenly Asher has the taffy and fudge packs in his hands and Shouki has the cookies.

Asher looks up slowly at Shouki as he explains what he meant to him. He was relieved to hear that it wasn't that he didn't like cookies it was that he just didn't like a certain type. He smiled at him as he went on and even chuckled at the face he made about the coconut. "I've never had coconut, is it really that bad?" He asked curious about it. Asher jumped a little bit at the trade and he looked down at the taffy and fudge in his hands. "Wh- I can't eat all of this alone." He said as he looked down at it all. It looked good, but he knew that it was a little much for him. He looks up at Shouki and tilts his head a bit. "You'll help me eat them, won't you?" He asks.

Shouki kisses him on the cheek when Asher laughs a bit. "Some people like it, but I hate the texture." He shrugs a bit. "The taste doesn't bother him, but the texture ruins everything for him. "Who said we had to eat it all today? I brought that much so you could have some to last for a couple of days at least....but I do want to eat some of them. I've never had her fudge before. Should be some peanut butter and chocolate fudge in there." He just smiles a bit before he starts munching on a cookie.

Asher smiles at Shouki when he gives him a kiss on the cheek. He would have hugged him, but his hands where a little full at the moment. "I'll remember to to buy you coconut or anything with it in it." He said as he plopped down on to the ground and set the things his arms down of the ground. "I'll have to hide them from my mother." He said as he looked down at them. She wouldn't like him bringing them into the house when she didn't know where they came from. If he said they were from Shouki he would be in even more trouble. "You can have as much as you like!" he said laughing a bit. Asher reaches out and grabs a piece of taffy and unwraps it and sticks it in his mouth. "Mmm!" He says at the sweet taste.

"I can't help it. I just hate the texture. Dunno why really." Shouki shrugs a bit before joining him on the ground. "I wish you didn't have to. It's just a bit of sweets...not like you're going to get these everyday for the rest of your life or anything, but oh well." He can't change that now. He just smiles at Asher. "But I want to make sure you get to try some first." He just smiles more as Asher enjoy the sweet, his tail wagging a bit. "So I got the right kind?" He knows there's more than one kind so he just picked one. If it was wrong, buy another next time.

Asher nodded up at Shouki as he nibbled on his piece of taffy. He didn't know what coconut tasted like or it's texture, but it didn't sound too good. If Shouki didn't like it then he didn't think he would either. "It's okay, I'll try to hide them from her." He said shrugging a bit. She hadn't been to harsh lately, but she had been distracted by everything that had been happening lately. Asher's tail swayed happily when Shouki sat down next to him and leaned into Shouki resting his head on his shoulder as he sucked on the taffy. "There's plenty here I'm sure I'll get to try them." He said laughing a bit. "Yeah, it's really tasty!" He said happily.

Asher can eat coconut for all he cares, long as he doesn't try to get Shouki to eat it. Especially if it has shredded coconut. It never tasted good to him. "Okay....I hope you get to eat it all though....if she wouldn't take it away....I'd say offer her some..." But she will, won't she? And Shouki doesn't want that. He kind of purrs as Asher leans into him, wrapping an arm on him. Shouki's tail is just wagging a lot now. Shouki just smiles and nuzzles Asher a bit. "I hope you like the fudge too then. I think it's pretty awesome."

Asher felt comfortable around Shouki he didn't feel like he had to do something to please him. It wasnt like when he was at hime with his mother. "I would if she wouldn't get upset with me. I'm already doing doing something she wouldn't like." He wasn't suppose to be around Shouki, but he was. That probably would have been one of the major reasons she would get upset with him. Asher smiled at Shouki's tail wagging. He looked down at the fudge and nodded. "I'm sure I'll like it and I'll like the peanut butter one even more. " Asher really liked peanut butter and he was looking forward to eating it. He nudged Shouki lightly and smiled over at him. "Do you like the cookies?"

Shouki is just pleased by having Asher around. That's enough for him. He just makes a weird noise at his words. "I'm sorry." He might not like the woman, but she's still Asher's mother. He can't just expect him to abandon her or anything for him. If his mother had never left him, he doesn't know if he'd abandon her for someone else. "Well, I hope you do. The nice lady really does care about people liking her fudge." She's changed it due to people not liking it-trying to get them too. "I like almost all cookies. Except ones with coconut." He just munches on another cookie. If left alone, he might eat them all.

Asher kind of shrugs a bit chewing on the rest of his tardy. He didn't like it, but he had been living with it for a majority of his life. It was just normal now and there wasn't anything he could do to change it. "It's okay, dont worry about it." He said as he finished his piece of taffy.Asher looked down at the fudge then up at Shouki. "I wouldn't want her to do that." He said shaking his head. He picked up a piece of fudge and put it into his mouth. "Mmm!!" He said as his eyes widened. He didn't think it needed any changing to it. It tasted amazing to him the way it was. His tail began to wag faster as he munched on it happily.

(Merry Christmas ^.^ just invase I'm not able to be on tomorrow. & I. Was wondering if you might like to do another rp with me? I've been craving a DemigodxGod rp and no one seems to want to reply to my request form)

"It still doesn't mean I have to like it though. Just saying." Shouki just can't like it or Asher's mother. She's way too overprotective though he can understand it to some extent, but she's got to let go sometime. It's a law of nature, children must get out of the nest sometime. Shouki hug attacks Asher when he sees the reaction and nuzzles him. "Glad you like it. I normally don't take her offers of fudge....so when I did...I think she was trying to give me enough for all the times I said no thanks too." He giggles a bit.

(Merry Christmas to you too :3 Which two of those would you like to rp (character)?)
