[video] [week 24, day 2]
[Johan is lying on his back on a sofa in Juudai's house, with Ruby Carbuncle padding jauntily all over him like a cat. He doesn't seem to mind it, though. His deck is laid on the table near the edge, in plain view of the camera, as well. After a moment, he grins at the Hitomi, totally not ruffled at all by the whole ordeal he just went through --

You're not normally ten years old when you duel?
Coulda fooled me. [ Griiin. ]

I meant physically, you know!

Really mature behavior there - [ he manages to squeeze out. ]

Hey, if it were you, there'd be cheek-pulling and face-making involved. That's gotta be ten times as mature, right?
Hehe, at least I was creative and went for the ears.
[Feel free to break the bad news to him.]

You're not gonna like hearing this, but I think Manjoume's been pulling my ears for longer than we've known each other. [ To be fair, Manjoume could murder both of them five times over in a "who can be the least mature" contest. ]

[Johan drapes himself further over the sofa back -- awkward a position though it may be, he's completely forgotten about the video by now, putting his hands across Juudai's shoulders from above.
Ruby, disliking the angle that this is going in, hops down and pads in front of Juudai. Expectantly. I'm sure you know what she wants.]
Well, point is, you're not one to talk about acting like a ten year old, yanno.
[Mock-bragging, dramatically enough to tell he's teasing, and at this point he's far enough over the couch to be whispering in Juudai's ear:] Hehe, at least I held my own against Hell Kaiser despite being ten at the time. Can you claim to have done that?
Reply
I've never had the opportunity, so of course I can't claim to have done that. [ He reaches out and rubs Ruby behind the ears. ] We don't all have the privilege of magically transforming into children overnight, you know.
[ He glances over. Johan's face is barely inches from his own, albeit upside-down. Juudai smirks, in the manner of someone who has just gotten a terribly hilarious idea. Reaches a single finger up and strokes it down Johan's exposed neck, and applies some pressure - just enough - to the end of Johan's chin, enough to tip his center of gravity towards the floor and not the couch. ]

[Johan flails a little as his balance is pushed barely enough to cause him to start to lose it. Realizing he's about to go tumbling over the edge, he yelps and puts his hands out instinctively as Ruby flees to safer ground. When next he opens his eyes, he's actually managed to land in front of Juudai, in a very awkward position -- notably, lying on his back and embarrassingly ass-over-head, looking like he's in the middle of practicing yoga.]
...You ass!
[He scrambles into a less mortifying position quickly, then starts coming at Juudai on his hands and knees, with a wicked grin on his face.]
My pride demands I punish you for that, Juudai!!
Reply
When Johan's manly pride kicks in, Juudai manages to smother his giggles long enough to respond: ]
Well then, bring it, Jo... [ A beat. ] Han...
[ A longer beat, followed by one final punctuating syllable, like a heart written where a period should go: ]
Chan~.
[ oh no he didn't. ]
Reply
And my masculinity demands I punish you twice over for that! Take it back, you little--!!
[Heated though his words may be, they're also colored with audible humor; he's having fun with it, as much of a jab to his male pride that may have been.]
Reply
Oh, right, I guess ten is too old for that. Is Johan-kun~ better? [ Inflected with the tilde and all. Juudai woke up on the troll side of the bed today, it seems. ]
Reply
[Though he's going after Juudai doggedly with the cushion, Johan can't stop grinning that amused grin all the while. After a couple more full-force attacks with it which may or may not connect properly, he tries to pin Juudai to the floor for easier pillow-smacking.]
You're damn lucky this thing doesn't have a metal zipper on it, or you'd have a couple welts on your face by now!
Reply
You know, we should probably avoid ruining the only cushion that doesn't have water damage?
[ Which is Juudai's last-ditch resort, a roundabout version of "okay, I give, let's not hit me in the face with that again, zipper or no." ]
Reply
[Johan's not going to give up that easily. He holds the pillow up as though to bring his arm down again, grinning like mad and speaking as though he's implying something ridiculous.]
Hey, I'll stop if you say you're sorry.
Reply
Looks at Johan...
Back to the pillow...
A decision seems to have been made? ]
But... What if I'm not sorry?
[ Grin. The choice was made. Trolling was chosen. Juudai regrets nothing. ]
Reply
[The evilest of evil smirks before he brings his hand down. Repeatedly. EAT PILLOW, JUUDAI.]
