["More annoyed than usual" could mean a lot of things tbh?? Kashuu has very subtle differences but a wide range of annoyed expressions, and Yamato knows pretty much all of them. Thankfully, Kashuu usually starts complaining before he has to guess at the cause, and this time is no different.

He's stretched out on the couch today, mindlessly scrolling through his phone like a true millennial. Sometimes he acts his age... but he'll glance up at that, nodding.]

Yeah. Did you get one too? [He did, because of course he did. THEY'RE STUCK IN THIS TOGETHER and that includes bingo apparently.]

Of course I did, and it's stupid.

[GRIPE GRIPE, COMPLAIN COMPLAIN, just another day ending in y in their modest little home. Kashuu scoots on over and claims a couch edge, holding his phone up at Yamato's face to show off his bingo card.]

Is yours like this?

[Despite himself, Yamato laughs a little--he really shouldn't, but unless this situation quickly turns gruesome, then this is at least a fairly harmless thing from this stupid company. Kashuu's irritation is amusing, okay.]

Huh, you have a lot that tell you to work with strangers. [Pulling up his in turn, he flashes it at Kashuu.] At least you have some cute ones, mine are pretty dumb too.

[This is why Yamato's gotta go.]

I know! It's such a pain. Like, I'm already friends with all the people I wanna be friends with, why add strangers in? [What kind of logic... Anyway, glancing at his card, too.]

Ugh. I dunno if I want to help you with any of these.

Really? I'm surprised to hear that from you. [Seeing as Kashuu likes attention so much, why wouldn't he want more friends?? Then again, being forced to speak to someone just because of a bingo card is a pretty lame way to make friends, so that's fair.]

Hm... well, I could steal one of the things you got from them... [Does it count if he says he's gonna do it beforehand?] Oh, or I could help you paint your nails! [NO]

[LOOK... He started becoming wary of meeting new people once he realized he was part of a select group that looks literally insane to everyone else. He's tried not to be vocal about the withdrawing he's been doing lately, and looks a little discomforted for a fraction of a second before waving a hand.]

I've been really busy lately! I don't have time to meet strangers just off the street or whatever. [ELITE WITH FRIENDSHIP.]

Anyway, I'm not letting you near my things including my nails.

[Kashuu, it's adorable how you think Yamato doesn't notice that sort of thing... he tilts his head slightly, questioning, but Kashuu's skating right on past it as usual, so he lets it go for the moment.]

I wouldn't make them look that bad... [PROBABLY... look it's nothing acetone can't fix, right? (yams no)]

I don't want to go shopping for Jim. [Even if they buy him a shitty joke "present", he doesn't want to spend money on that asshole!! Though speaking of Jim--] I could probably write a poem to Janet about how much we hate him, though.

[THAT'S NOT EVEN WHAT THE SQUARE SAYS]

[Let him live, okay, he thinks he's very crafty.]

One? Yes, you would. [Trust no Yams with nail polish, even if remover is on hand...] Two, as much as I'd love to do that, it's not gonna grey a square out. It has to be a nice ode, and trashing her trashy fiance or whatever probably isn't gonna pass. ...But I guess it's not like they specify whose standards "nice" has to fit.

[HOW DARE YOU yams would do his best, gosh.]

You never know... [It'd pass his own standards!! But no, Kashuu's probably right... he sighs.] I'd rather do that than, I don't know, slap a stranger or something, though. I don't trust her, but at least she's not obnoxious.

[YAMS IS THE BEST/WORST EVER let Kashuu live.]

Eh... Whatever, fine. It's not like we have to be gushing compliments or anything.

[He can be... cordial... which is basically the same as being nice!]

[Normally, Yamato would chide him for that, but no... cordial is about as good as he's going to get in this case too.]

Odes are like poems or something, right? So we just have to figure out some rhymes and we'll be done. [Time to bust out the thesaurus that these two millennial bozos definitely own-- not.]

[Ah, when their shitheaded natures line up in perfect harmony.]

Yeah, basically. Rhymes that you can sing, but it's not like it actually said to sing it, so maybe we can just do haikus or something?

[They're gonna nail this.]

We could do that. Maybe we can put a bunch of them together and call it an ode.

[POETRY.

He frowns after a second, though, tapping his lip.]

It says we have to share it with someone though, don't we? Does it count if we write it together, or do we have to write our own and show each other?

They didn't say it has to be a long one so I think maybe just one haiku from each of us would be fine.

[Perfect... But oh god SHARING IT.]

Uh— I guess we'll probably have to write 'em separate. Shouldn't be too hard, though.

Kiyomitsu, I don't think it'll count as an "ode" if it's just a single haiku.

[LOOK... look... he may not give a shit about his own college degree but that doesn't mean he's bad at school, okay. DO IT PROPERLY SHOECASH.]

Mm, we can probably do it now, don't you think? How about... [A glance at the time--] Why don't I get lunch started, and we can just write them and be finished when it's ready.

[MULTITASKING, or something.]

Sure it is! You just sing it and maybe drag it out a little, whatever.

[Waving a hand, it's whatever Yams!! He's doing it his way!!]

I guess that's fine, though. What're we having for lunch?

[#spoiled]

Alright, if you say so. [Said with the tone of "guess it'll just be me getting that bingo, NERD".

HELLA SPOILED THOUGH, GOD. It's a good thing Yamato likes cooking or they'd both be suffering big time.]

Curry, I got this new spice mix I want to try. It shouldn't take too long. [And he can write his stupid poem song thing while the rice is cooking because that's about the level of effort he wants to put into this. SO UP HE GETS, probably bumping into Kashuu as he heads for the kitchen, oops. Sorry not sorry.] No snacking until it's done!

[LOOK HE COULD STEP UP IF HE HAD TO!! Probably...]

Watch where you're walking. [BATTING AT HIS ARM AS HE PASSES who's the real menace here, Kashuu or catshuu.

He also trails after Yamato as he heads into the kitchen because of course he does...]

I'm not gonna snack.

[WELL YA MIGHT HAVE TO HIJIKATA

And they're equally bad!! Because guess who wants to join the kitchen party, it's catshuu, who is still here. Why is it still here. Why is Yamato so weak. THE ETERNALLY UNANSWERED QUESTION.]

Watch where you're hitting! [YOU WANNA GO SHOECASH yams will slappy hands duel you in any universe, bring it on. Except right now he's moving to switch on the kettle, since he's assuming Kashuu is gonna write his non-ode in here and he might as well get some tea going in the meantime.]

Don't be a baby, I know you can take a hit.

[PUNK...

Catshuu also jumps up onto the counter without pause because he does what he wants, and he starts immediately climbing up Kashuu's arm like a tree when he reaches over to pluck him off. Writing an ode like this is going to be hard...]

[ROLLING HIS EYES... luckily Yamato left most of the things he needed out on the counter last night, so all he really needs to do is get the chicken out of the fridge. He does, and whacks Kashuu's arm with it as he's walking by... IT'S WRAPPED, BUT STILL COLD AND SLIMY, HA.]

Don't dish what you can't take.

Ew—! Don't be gross, jerk!

[HIS ARM HAS BEEN CHICKEN SLIMED, THIS IS THE WORST... Now he has cold slimy chicken bag residue on one arm and a cat on the other, who is he.]

[And of course Yamato just laughs merrily, because a jerk is EXACTLY WHAT HE IS.]

Aren't you supposed to be writing? Come on, we don't have all day! [Conveniently forgetting that he is ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE WRITING THIS STUPID ODE yams focus]

[It's fine, he'll be the one to point that out...]

You're supposed to be writing, too! Don't think you're getting out of it.

[Writing AND cooking lunch, Yamato has a hard life.]

[He really does, someone remind him why he puts up with this??]

I'm already done! [LIES... or is it. He can be pretty good at bullshitting when he wants to be...] But I'm not going to share until you're done too.
