- give me one of my characters (old or new!) and one of yours, & I'll tell you how they end up together.
previous version of this meme here!
Laura and Victor
Karolina and Nuriko
Xavin and Dean
Charlie and Akira
Charlie and Naoto
CHARLIE AND NAOTO the longest ever (1/2)
"He lives with that bikini model chick though," Charlie points out over lunch, seated on top of the picnic table to get a good view of any passerby's. "They wouldn't assign dudes with chicks in this place."
"Maybe they swapped roommates like you did," Knox offers helpfully.
"This is insane," Neil bursts mid stabbing at his potato salad. "Why do you care anyway?" Charlie takes a moment away from his lookout to send his friend a predatory grin over his shoulder. Neil immediately turns a gray shade that says he regrets the question immeasurably.
"Does it really make a difference?" Todd mumbles into his soda bottle. "I mean.. Doesn't Charlie like both- um."
"Shut up!" he swats back at the group's withering (yet surprisingly astute) member.
Information gathering behind him, Charlie falls into step with the detective prince on the way to school. He doesn't go to school anyway, but he made the special effort to wake up early (with the twinge of a hangover as well) and coincidentally run into him.
"Hello Mister Dalton," he nods at the poet's approach.
"You heard of me?" Charlie feigns flattery, except it's only half pretending.
Naoto shrugs. "In a closed environment of this size keeping track of certain reoccurring offenders is easy enough."
"So you're checking up on me!" Charlie smirks, and dives in the detective's path. "You know a lot about me?" He presses, leaning down to accommodate their height difference. Naoto stops abruptly, unimpressed under the brim of his or her cap.
"Not exactly," he says at least, stepping to walk around Charlie and through the school gates. Charlie keeps his hands in his pockets and rocks back on his heels, debating if that was a decent enough first meeting. So distracted, he's taken completely off guard when an approaching Akito (in the girl's uniform no less) hops onto his back.
"Yeah, he hangs out at the precinct, junior detective or some shit." Akira yawns. "It's a dude."
"Maybe." Lingering on the school's roof, Charlie's hand has started to ache like rain is approaching (impossible). "Ask Parkman to find out," he suggests, leaning on an elbow.
Akira kicks out at one of the air conditioning units so hard it leaves a Nike intent in the metal.
"Or.. I could just find out," Charlie shrugs, settling back to stare at the equally impossible sky. Soon thereafter they clamor down the fire escape as Hibari and Azula attempt to punish the trespassers.
( "Ooh, an admirer~" Yosuke leers at Naoto- although shooting Kanji constant, cautionary looks throughout his teasing.
"You can do better," Rise assures her, flipping a ponytail over one shoulder.
"Where is he?" Chie whispers- or says aloud, in a normal speaking voice because subtly is never her forte. "I don't see him." Yukiko discreetly points out Charlie's location behind a hand.
"Does anybody else think this is weird??" Kanji announces, a grip on the nearest folding chair reaching dangerous intensity. The only one seemingly unaffected is Naoto, who continues eating her bento box unperturbed.
"It's nothing," she privately confides in Souji later, with a shy sense of pride. "In recent years I have experienced a surprising bout of popularity. So actually I'm quite accustomed to the attention, however unwanted."
"Kanji doesn't like him," their leader warns. "He said Charlie Dalton's got kind of a bad reputation."
"So does Kanji," Naoto primly points out, passing the glue for their latest model set. )
