"You're generous, but it's cheap and clean, which is good enough for me." Jack turned to his closet, getting out his robe, a long white terry affair stolen from and embroidered with the crest of Spa Malibu. "Here, why don't you put this on? Don't want you catching cold, and I can toss your clothes in the wash and dry for you."
He looked at the scar, tilting his head. "Is there an adventurous story behind that?"

He couldn't help but smirk all the more at Rease's comment, "Yes, it would appear that I am, indeed the beholder." He leaned in and whispered rakishly, "But I'm a man with an eye for beauty." He withdrew swiftly and laughed, "And yes... I suppose it IS my fault... Such dreadful girls that they are..." "By the way, where did you hide my cigarettes?" He was really in dire need of one...

"Ha. I wish. It happened when I was a teenager. Ick, now I feel old." Akira laughed and shook his head. "Oh, thanks for the robe." He said and walked over to the bathroom, undressed all the way and left his clothes hanging in the bathroom over the bathtub, for a lack of a better place to put them.
Tying the robe securely around his waist, he brushed his hair out of his face. "See, what happened was, I was coming back from a swim meet, and as I crossed the alley to get to my house, I was suddenly attacked by a bunch of gangsters. Not. Ha, that'd been exciting. Actually, I just crashed my bike on the way back from a swim meet. Well, I kind of crashed into a car, okay a car crashed into me, so I guess that is a little exciting." Akira once again started his random rambles.
He loved to talk really, ever since he was a kid. Because he was always alone, and didn't have many friends, whenever he did get a chance to talk someone, he always talked to them as much as he could. Always with that little boy smile too. There was rarely a time where Akira spoked without smiling. He was a rather happy person.

Jack listened as he stepped into the bathroom and gathered the wet things. He opened the door into the rest of the basement, leaving it open to talk through as he put Akira's clothes in the washing machine. "Well it sounds kinda more painful than exciting. Swim meet? So you're an athlete?"
He made his way back into the apartment, closing the door when the furnace kicked in with a roaring and clanking cacophane. He was fond of talking himself, and listening, and he was still eagerly making up for weeks of lingual isolation.

The orange haired male nodded. "Yeah, I guess you can call it an athlete. I just swim on my free time. When I was younger I was on the swim team of the school I lived by. I was home schooled though." Akira leaned back into the chair more getting comfortable. Pushing his glasses up, he opened his bag and sorted through all the papers. He pulled out a few and counted them before putting them back in with a satisfied nodd.
"Did you do any sports as a child? I'm sure sports is a pretty big thing there in America..." he said. He had visited there before, several different states, but he never stayed in a single place for long. Especially in America, he was only there for a month or two and stayed in the house most of those months.

Jack nodded. "California's a lot like Texas in how fanatic we get about sports, it's just that we're not just into football, baseball, and basketball. Where I grew up we were more into extreme sports. I did everything from roller hockey and skateboarding to hang gliding and street luge. But mostly I surf. Competitively, that is. I'd love to go full time pro, but that takes more money than I have."
He sat down on the futon, having a drink of cocoa. "I was homeschooled, too. Well, through the state public school system. Was kind of a secret, that you could get all your stuff paid for by the state and still be homeschooled."

"That sounds interesting. My dad worked in the military so we moved a lot. So, instead of switching from school to school, I just had my own personal tutor. Actually, it was more like a baby sitter. Most of the time I taught myself the things I needed. Luckily, I was able to choose what was relevant and what wasn't." Akira shrugged and stretched out, his back popping loudly. It still hurt from when he fell in the park earlier.
"I've been to California once. Visited Sacramento and Hollywood. Either weren't very exciting. I was only there for a few hours anyways. We were moving up north to Canda from Mexico. So yes, I did a lot of moving." He sighed thinking about his memories.
"Surfing is fun." he said pulling himself back to reality. "Well it seems it. I've never tried it myself, but it looks fun." Akira yawned widely.
"You don't mind if I take a quick nap do you? I've been up for the past two nights working...so I'm really...exhausted." His last few words were slightly paused by a yawn he failed to stifle.
However, before Jack could even answer, Akira had fallen asleep. [[ and I gotta go. cya ]]

((No problem, I have to get going soon myself.))
Jack smiled. "No problem at all, man," he told the dozing guest. He stood up and got the afghan off the futon, tucking it around Akira's shoulders.
He dug out his copy of Catch-22 from his backpack and sat the horrid kitchen table to read so he wouldn't disturb Akira's napping.

Reace giggled and shook his head brushing back some of his now wet black locks. "mmm, their at home. You can live for a couple more minutes I'm sure. And I promise to make this up to you...but it can't have anything to do with girls" Smiling he then got his copy of the photo's and started lead Jun out. Looking around he whistled for a cab before pulling Jun into it and gave the address of their home. "I had them in my room"
Once the cab pulled over he paid the driver before getting out and walking with Jun up to their appartment though he interlocked their arms so to make sure Jun walked quickly. Once in he got into the elevator and smiled as they headed up to the apartment. "Sorry just incase some of those girls snuck back" Though now, Reace wondered if he should of told Jun that the cig's were in his room. He never had anyone in his room sense he moved in. And worried what they would say about all the plants he had.

Jun found himself being dragged, but he went willingly. "HAH, to live. Blah, who needs to live." He joked, "Besides, how on earth are you going to make it up to me, if it doesn't involve girls?" Jun ruined the seriousness by wiggling his brows in a comical manner. "GAH!." He managed to say before he was pulled into the cab, "In a hurry?" he muttered. Jun almost tripped over himself at the rate Rease was walking, "My God man, hold your horses." As Rease and himself stood in the elevator, "In case some girls snuck in? Good thinking..." He chuckled at Rease a bit, "You're a little damp." He noted his hair and laughed, "I'm a little damp." Did it rain? He couldn't quite remember it.

Reace laughed and shook his head "Yes it rained, and I was in a hurry for as you can see this outfit can't carry an umbrella. That and I can't have these photo's ruined. And why are you complaining about me walking fast, at least your wearing sneakers. I'm in heals and don't have a problem" Brushing a hand through several strands he sighed and calmed himself down "I'm going to have to brush it again or it will become poofy"
A light blush came over him to the question of how he could make it up to Jun and he smiled very lightly "I'm sure you can think of something" A soft yet seductive wink was given to Jun before Reace walked off the elevator and to their appartment. There he slipped his heel's off and handed Jun his photo's in their folder before heading to his room. "Pick one you like...and only One"

Jun smirked at his heels, "Haha, that was the clicking sound I kept hearing." He eyed Rease's long hair, "Hmm, why don't you cut it??" He was only jesting, but he looked at Rease, "Wait, what do you mean 'I could think of something'?" He eyed him a little, "Have you gone daft? What if it's something... Not as tastful, can you honestly trust me to make it decent?" he laughed at the thought as he walked into their condo.

Reace stopped walking when hearing about him cutting his hair..he never thought of cutting such beautifull hair. That and everyone he knew were mostly short cuts. Glancing back to Jun he smiled simply "I'll get a trim..and as for you making anything decent, so far we've only known your paintings to be." He teased Jun and smirked "Now stop thinking bad things about my hair and being tasteful or I won't give you your cigarettes back" Unlocking the door to his room he walked in and started to look around for those cigarettes as he placed his shoes into his closet.

Jun pouted as he made a slight whimper. Then he thought about his painting... Then he looked at Rease, "PERFECT!" a smile graced his lips and his eyes shimmered with glee. He walked into Reases room but he left his sneakers outside his door. "I have a brilliant idea, sheer brilliance."

Reace jumped hearing Jun offally close as he turned and saw him in his room. Though he couldn't help but smile at how the older man looked. Taking out the cigarette's from the jeans he wore earlier and grabbing a brush he sat down on his bed crossing one leg over the other. Softly he started to brush his hair as he looked to Jun "And what is this idea of yours Jun?" Reace asked smiling to him before using his free hand and tossing one cigarette to Jun as he held the pack still.
