Momoko
It was just after lights out when Momoko had finally climbed up onto the top bunk he had claimed in the small room. A smile lighting his face when he spotted the small plush that sat just where he had left it against the pillow, a rarity round these parts with the dreaded Marrow roaming around. Though that was probably because he had been hanging around the room for most of the day reading his cowboy books and hadn't giving the little demon a chance to be alone. Not that it mattered, but still. Flopping back into the few pillows he'd managed to hoard, the small Kumiho sighed heavily as he was surrounded by softness. If he was completely honest the bunks weren't the most comfortable, but after a long day it was complete heaven~ Wiggling under the covers with another content sigh, Momo closed his eyes for sleeeeeeep.

Marrow
That damn brat. What kind of nerd stays inside the dorm all day reading? There were so many better things to do with your time, like stuck gum in girl's hair and push other boys off the jungle gym. When Marrow was brought back to the room- Yes, he was brought by a caregiver after having cut this sweet girl's pigtail off- he crawled up into his bed. "Hey, you still reading? No wonder you don't have any friends," he laughed under his breath before standing up and shoving his shoulder up against the bottom of the upper bunk, shifting around the boards and shaking the mattress. Little did he know that Momo had been trying to sleep early that night.

Momoko
It was so quiet. So peaceful, and for the first time in awhile Momoko was off to have a great night sleep. Snoring lightly when the little devil was forced back to the room, the young Kumiho remained blissfully unaware in his beautiful slumber of riding on the backs of great beasts through the wild-wild west while rescuing his pretend friends. At least he was unaware until the mattress was roughly shoved and he jolted up into a sitting position, his eyes wide with surprise. What the hell? It only took a second of feeling the bed shift around to realize just what, or who was responsible. "Marrow.." Shifting onto his knees, Momo grabbed one of his pillows and blindly swung it down over to tide of the bed to hopefully smack the other. "Stop that! I'm trying to sleep!"

Marrow
Marrow was relentlessly jostling the mattress around as much as the Freshling could manage when all the sudden he took a pillow to the face from out of nowhere. "Oomph!" he grunted as he stumbled back and hit the wall inside his little bunk cave. "Ugh," the boy began to grow with growing rage as he realized what just happened. "You're going to regret that!" He shouted as he quickly stumbled out of his bunk from the raging speed he was putting himself at and climbed the ladder. "I was being nice! I could have climbed up here right away and pushed you off but I didn't. Now this is what you're going to get! You have nobody else but yourself to blame," he huffed before reaching out once he was on the bed and gripped Momo by his silver locks of hair.

Momoko
As soon as the pillow found it's target, Momo's eyes went wide and he quickly dropped it to the ground and quickly got to his feet. Well that.. that was a bad idea. He quickly decided when the hybrid below him clearly began to rage. "That's not being nice!" He shouted over the other boys words but Marrow was already rage climbing the ladder and seemed to be having none of it. Through this all, all Momoko could remember is the last time this happened where Marrow bit him and that wasn't something Momo wanted to repeat. So when he made it to the top and the war flashbacks ended, Momoko tried to make a super cool escape by ducking under the arm and scrambling for the ladder. "Leave me alone!"

Marrow
As Marrow got off the ladder, trying to gain his footing on the lumpy mattress of the upper bunk the little Kumiho brat dipped under his arm and began to scale down the ladder. How was he so fast? Must have been the fact that he was a little squirt. "Ugh, Momoko!" he shouted with a booming yet oddly whiny voice as he was tricked. However, he had one move to make. One very impulsive move. He lifted his leg up quickly and kicked it out, right in Momo's face. Sure, he didn't think about his actions before hand, but one day when he'd look back on this he would laugh his butt off at the thought.

Momoko
"Aagh!" He shouted when Marrow's foot suddenly came out of no where and struck him right in his cheek. An action that threw the young Kumi off balance and had him rolling off to his side until his left shoulder struck the wall and he stared up at him in disbelief. He kicked him! "Y-you kicked me!" He shouted completely dumb struck, though this wasn't really something that should be unexpected at this point. Marrow was a little s**t after all. (He'd heard the caretakers mumble that outside of Marrow's hearing multiple times, and it made so much sense!) Holding his reddening cheek with his hand he felt tears gather in his eyes and struggled to keep them from spilling as his ears pressed back into his hair. "Get off my bed, Marrow!" He quickly demanded, trying to be strong but under the weight of wanting to cry his tone wavered more than once before ending with a sniffle.

Marrow
Oh crap. Wait- did the kid die? Surely the caregivers would tell his parents if he killed somebody and then he would get his butt beaten for it. "Momo?" he shouted in fear, not for the other's safety but for his own. He huddled over the edge of the bunk bed, peering down at the boy who seemed to be still breathing. "Oh thank the nine." he sighed before furrowing his brows. "You really shouldn't be so fragile, you know that?!" When the smaller by demand that he get off that stubborn streak reared it's ugly head. "Oh yeah? You want me off the bed? Why don't you make me?!"

Momoko
Momoko groaned in obvious discomfort when he pushed off his shoulder to sit up. The tears of both his temporary pain and very obvious frustration spilling forth as he looked up at the stupid face looking down at him. "You're not going to get off??" Wiping at his cheeks, he grabbed hold of one of the bed supports and pulled himself to his feet. If he was a strong as Vincent 'Trigger-finger' Conner he'd just lift the bed and throw Marrow to the ground! But no. No he was just a child.. Crossing his arms in a huff he glowered up at the hybrid. "Well... well.. If you don't get off my bed I'm.." Weight his options he frowned. "I'm going to tell the caregivers what you did!" It was so perfect that he had to stand there and mentally give him a pat on the back. Marrow had to listen to them! Realizing he'd only get one shot and had already wasted enough time, Momo quickly ran for the door. Maybe this would get him expelled!

Marrow
Marrow dropped his jaw, starting to wonder if he should call this bluff. What if it wasn't a bluff though? What if Momoko tattled on him and got him in deep s**t!? There was a genuine moment of pure fear riddling the young boy's face as he wondered what he should do. Realizing what a weakness that might come off as though he knitted his brows back together and gritted his teeth. He didn't budge. He wouldn't give into the other's stupid lie- but then he started to run towards the door. "M-momoko!" he shouted softly and in a fit of pure panic he tried rushing down the ladder. It was the moment he lost his footstep he realized he had ******** up. With a slip of this shoe, he slid down the ladder, hitting his jaw hard on the upper step. He whimpered as he stumbled back and fell on his a**, starting to tear up as the pain swelled in his chin and his rear. It was then that Marrow threw his head back and began to wail like a newborn.

Momoko
At first Momoko ignored the heavy thud behind him. Feeling almost certain that Marrow had decided to throw something at him in a fit (which he expertly ducked under, mind you.) but the moment the other kid began sobbing almost hysterically. Momoko paused. His hand on the door knob. "Marrow?" He questioned, his voice cautious and unsure as he slooooowly turned around to first look up at his bunk before his gaze trailed over to the wailing kid by the ladder. "Are you okay?" Torn between letting go of the door and checking on his 'friend', Momoko finally relented to the latter. Letting his hand fall from the knob he cautiously approached. "What happened?"

Marrow
Marrow was a tough son of a gun, no doubt about that, but he didn't handle surprises well. The boy certainly hadn't accounted for the change that he might lose his footing and crack his chin on a step. "M-mah ... mah ch-chiiiin!" he began to speak but the words began to wail. "I-it's- I s-slipped on- I slipped!" he began to whimper, holding his jaw he looked up at Momoko, unable to register what to do. How he would typically lash out was completely erased. He never knew pain- this was his first real experience with it. He had never come across anybody who was similar to himself.

Momoko
Momoko really didn't know how to handle the situation. He'd seem Marrow in hysterics after throwing a fit about something or other, but because of something like this? Never! Inching closer, he rubbed at the back of his neck. "It-it's okay." The idea of comforting his little devil twisted his stomach but for the first time he looked like another child and not some looming terror. Dropping his hand he quickly approached and reached out to pat his head, his hand pausing and pulling back as he thought twice but eventually he gave the boy three pats on the head. "You.. you just hit your chin, it'll stop hurting. Are you bleeding?" Parroting things his mother might have said to him when he'd hurt himself, Momo crouched down partially to try and see under his hand. "Should I get someone to kiss it?" Those always worked in the stories he'd read.
