"I told him straight up. Straight up Tae." Prodigy was tapping Taehyung lightly on the stomach on their way to the boy's bathroom.

Taehyung's hands were in his blazer pockets. He looked sort of aloof that way.

It was lunchtime.

"Aye you listening?"

"Yeah I am." Taehyung smiled at him.

"You don't look like you even care." Prod sucked his teeth and looked around in frustration. "Taehyung why you gotta do that sometimes? Sometimes you da happiest and excitedest and times like now you just . . . you just that cool dude standing in the corner. Man be bubbly while I tell ma story."

Taehyung was laughing.

"Ah that's more I like it. Acting all, all cool and not fun. What a guy gotta do to feel like he being heard around here?" Prodigy shook his head slowly right as they stood before the door. "Anyway so I said straight up . . ."

Taehyung opened up his eyes while nodding and trying to show more enthusiasm. He was going overboard as a joke.

"Aye! Now you making fun o' me!" Prodigy jump kicked him in the knee.

Taehyung laughed. It didn't actually hurt.

Prodigy was play fighting him and they were both laughing. "You gotta laugh! I'm funny! No fake laugh no fake nods man! Come on!"

Taehyung let him hit him playfully until they got to the urinals. "It's pretty empty in here."

Prodigy stood before the urinal two spots down from Tae. "Guess erbody too busy having lunch. Or they using they own private bathrooms in their rooms. The people whose rooms be close I mean. My room way too far to pull off that shit. What am I looking for? Exercise? Nah man I don't wanna be walking all the way there to come back. Time would fly by on me too."

"You talk so much."

"I-" Prodigy realized what he said and turned to him. "You got a problem with it?" His eyes drifted down.

"Why are you looking?" Taehyung faced him.

Prodigy looked up while blushing.

Taehyung laughed. "It's okay. We're close enough by now."

Prodigy rolled his eyes. "Man you jus' . . . anyway I do not talk that much. I'm just . . . expressive."

"Right. That's what I meant to say."

"That's what you better have meant to say." Prodigy said with an attitude. He looked forward at the wall. "Insulting people's personalities . . . rude much?"

Taehyung was snickering.

The two of them were finishing up when one of the stalls opened loudly and someone they did not expect to see came forward.

Both boys were stuck. "Uhhh . . ." They stammered while exchanging glances.

Jesy was holding a sparkly book in hand with a pink sparkly pen to match. "Hi boys." She sounded as suave and sexy as usual. "Mind if I interrupt?"

"Uhhh . . ." This was awkward . . .

Jesy looked at their parts. "You're about done so you should put those away."

The guys both tinted to pink as they hurriedly packed up their business.

They scurried to the sinks to wash their hands and then moved to stand in front of her like bumbling idiots. They even bumped into each other for a moment before getting their act together.
