Mot knew what he needed to do when he was well enough to move about again. And that thing was tell his best buddy about the latest happenings. Very unexpected happenings. Mostly he wanted to be 100% sure Roch didn't make any moves on Hel.
Why?
Because Hel was now taken.
The reaper skipped down the hall to Roch's room, still quite light headed from the reality that he now had a ... a .... g-ghoulfriend!
*////A/////*;;;;
Mot stopped at Roch's door, and knocked on the door several times more than he needed to. "Roooooooooooooch!"

The door opened slowly, a tiny pixie peeking up at him before breaking into a smile and fluttering forward to hug his neck. She made little chirping noises, showing she was happy to see him, then flew to his hand, tugging on his finger, trying to get him to go to the closed door of the karaoke booth.
Roch had been locked up in his booth for the entire day.

He had not expected a fairy.
Mot blinked at the little thing, smiling fondly as the precious mini hugged his neck. "Hello there, little lady~" Very little. He looked down curiously a she tugged him toward a strange booth. Was this the thing Roch had told him about? He must be inside!
Mot let himself be led toward it, knocking on the door a few times. "Roooch?"

Riff looked at him, then landed on the heavy metal knob, stomping one foot to show him exactly what had to be done. It wasn't locked, she just wasn't strong enough to turn it on her own. Besides, since Roch couldn't be heard from inside, he couldn't hear someone that was outside, either.

"Oh, thank you, little sprite~." Mot said softly, patting the mini on the head lightly with a finger. Well, if it wasn't locked then there was no harm in coming on inside.
Mot turned the knob and let himself inside. "Roch?"

The music blasted out, loud and wild, with Roch singing just as loudly. It seemed like Roch had thrown himself a party. There was no one else in the booth, and no one had been invited, either. He looked up as he finished the song, staring at Mot blankly. "Um... hey," he said. "Sup?" As if he hadn't just been shouting at the top of his voice about heartache.

The bouncy music hit Mot as he opened the door, nearly giving the reaper a heart attack. How did this box manage to hide all that noise?!
And of course there was Roch, on his own personal stage. So this was the place. It was so... cool!
Mot made an impressed noise when the music ended, clapping for Roch with a grin. "Bravo, partner." He laughed and let himself inside, closing the door behind him. "I have news! Big news!" News that maybe Roch wouldn't want to hear, considering all his heartbreak...

"Yeah? You ask Lizzy out and she say yes or somethin?" Roch asked, heading for a bucket full of ice and grabbing a bottle of water from it. He uncapped it, drinking deeply and wiping his mouth with the back of his arm. He was covered in a thin sheen of sweat, and his hair wasn't quite as high as it usually was. But he didn't seem to care that Mot was seeing him like that.

Mot couldn't help but wonder just how hot that spotlight had to be, or how long Roch had been in there practicing to get in that state. Still, it was probably just that fun to have your own personal karaoke booth!
"Not exactly." Mot said with a bashful smile, stuffing his hands into his pockets. "Things happened, and I realized that I don't like Lizzy the way I used to, or thought I did." He still cared for her a lot, but that initial infatuation had faded.
"I realized there is someone I care for more deeply. And I told her how I felt."

Roch went still. Then a little smile pulled at his lips, a wry smile. "So you aren't as big an idiot as I thought," he teased. "So what did Hel say?" he asked. As if he didn't know. "Unless suddenly you think you're in love with Xiu, too," he drawled.

Mot looked disappointed all of the sudden, like he'd been shot in the foot by a close friend. "Bu-- how did you know it was Hel???"

Roch stared at him blankly. Then he let out a laugh. "Oh man, you ARE dense!" he teased him. "Jack, Bandit, what do you think it meant when she lost her temper every time you stared at Lizzy?" he asked.
"She was jealous, boil, jealous! She made those leather straps for TOY GUNS for you and me before she even knew me well. You don't do that sort of crap for someone you ain't interested in--er, except me, that is," he admitted. "I do stupid s**t for people all the time."

Mot turned red as a tomato, almsot flabbergasted at the thought. "THAT'S why she got mad?!" Mot cried back, his face exuding a look of total shock and ignorance. "B-But she told me it was because I wasn't focused on the mission!" He insisted, furrowing his brows. Did.. did she lie?!
Roch's points hit home, the puzzle pieces coming together. "O....oh..."

"Seriously man, why do you think I made you call HER over our bet?" he asked, only now realizing just how clueless the other boil had been. He shook his head, laughing slightly. "But hell, you finally figured it out! I'm proud of you! Don't worry about me tryin' to steal your ghoul or anything, you two are great together."
And he would very casually step back and let them do the whole boilfriend/ghoulfriend thing, which, seriously, he still felt a little weird about. Facing a dating couple? AWKWARD.
He headed for the mic again, picking it up. "You wanna try a song?" he offered. The little will o the wisp launched herself at him finally, having been fluttering around the room searching for any possible ghoul he had snuck in without her knowing. Roch laughed as she tried to strangle him with a hug. "Jack, Riff, it ain't like I was GONE gone!"

Mot rubbed his neck, feeling like an absolute fool now. Had he really been so dense? Or perhaps so caught up in his little crush on Lizzy that he hadn't noticed. It seemed Roch was much more intuitive than himself. And here Mot always pictured him as a goofy guy. Oh how wrong he was! Roch just knew things!
He lifted his head from the stance of shame as Roch offered the mic. For a moment he shy'd away from the thought, but then seemed to like the idea. "Sure!" The reaper stepped up and took the mic, looking over the song collection. "Who made this for you again? It's amazing."
What song to choose~?
