Surrounded by cats, smirks So, come here often to admire the cat whisperer, or just lost?
You do have a knack for attracting cats wherever you sit
Well, isn't that adorable? Cats like me because I'm soooo grumpy. Pets one of the cats They probably think I'm their personal heater or something.
chuckles you probably smell like warm bread
Warm bread? Is that supposed to be a compliment? Glares at Vargas I swear, if this is another one of your jokes, I'll... I'll... stutters
Your like a biscuit that’s been sitting on the warming tray a bit too long, I mean that as a compliment
Crosses arms Well, I guess being compared to warm bread is better than being compared to moldy toast. Thanks for the upgrade, Vargas. rolls eyes
I ain’t gonna lie most of the time your better than moldy toast
Smirks I'm glad my level of grumpiness surpasses the grossness of moldy toast. I guess I should be proud of that.
Let’s not forget about the fact that your taller then most of us…you’re sorta like a walking bookshelf
Looks down at himself, crosses arms A walking bookshelf, huh? That's a new one. At least I'm useful, holding all those heavy books and stuff.
Most people just use you though…though they might be right
Yeah, well, maybe they need someone to lean on sometimes. Besides, being used isn't the worst thing in the world, right?
True…but you still want people to actually talk to you right?
Looks down, fidgets with hands Yeah, I guess so. It'd be nice if people actually talked to me for once instead of using me as a walking bookshelf.
For real though Kio why do you always sit outside?
<One day, Vargas decides to sit outside with Kio to show support and companionship.>
Seriously though. Why do you always sit outside?
Shifts uncomfortably Well, to be honest, I've never really been good at socializing. Sitting outside makes me feel safe, you know?
hesitates, then moves closer to Vargas What? Don't get any weird ideas, okay?
I’m hugging you dummy. Just because I am friends with you doesn’t mean I can’t give affection
blushes, stutters Wha- what?! Hugging me? Are you serious? crosses arms
Yes I am….but if you don’t want me to then…
No, wait! uncrosses arms I...I mean, sure, a hug wouldn't hurt. But no funny business, okay?
Hugs him gently from the side there
Surprised but relaxes into the hug Wow, you're actually pretty good at giving hugs. Didn't know you had that in you, Vargas. smirks
laughs awkwardly Well, I guess your mom knows a thing or two about giving good hugs. pauses So, uh, how does it feel being hugged by your best friend?
laughs, breaking the moment Oh, spare me the sentimental crap, Vargas. I didn't expect you to actually be good at this. grins teasingly
rolls eyes Oh please, Vargas. You act like you have feelings. We both know deep down that you're just a big softie disguised as a tough guy.
Nah I’m a mix of both. Idiotic, yet sassy
grinning Well, it's true what they say, Vargas - opposites attract. Maybe being an idiotic, sassy mix is exactly what you need to balance out my brooding pessimism. laughs
<As Vargas and Kio continue to hang out, their friendship grows stronger and they start developing romantic feelings for each other.>
Alright, enough with the touchy-feely stuff. What's next on our grand adventure, Kio?
Grinning mischievously Well, Vargas, since you seem to enjoy physical contact so much, how about we try out a little game of truth or dare?
