Room 501, Monday morning-ish

[raspberryturk]

Reno did not want to wake up. Reno was wide awake, laying there in his bed, his face shoved as far into his pillow as he could manage without asphyxiating himself, but this did not yet mean that he had actually woken up.

Between stealing his own wallet, making large areas spontaneously combust in a psychopathic rage, and having casual conversation with a lion over the course of the weekend, he figured that it was well within his rights to not have to wake up just yet.

Also, his hair had been huge. And he'd drank all his own tequila. And waking up meant that he'd have to start on his overdue report to Tseng. And any such report, after this particular sort of weekend, was going to have to begin with, "No, really, boss. I'm not drunk, but..."

Reno hated this place all over again.

Tamaki didn't have class until third period, so he'd allowed himself to sleep in a little bit. In actuality, he was very exhausted - he'd slept very fitfully over the weekend for fear of a strangely drunk and bewigged roomie. Because, in his mind, that was totally Reno, he just was really, really wigged out. Or drunk. Or bitten by a gremlin, like John had suggested. Right?

Once he awoke, he carefully sat up and ventured to peer at Reno's bed. He nearly shouted in surprise to see that Reno was actually lying in it! The real Reno! Not the weird one!

He was so relieved and excited to see his roomie that he forgot himself. "RENO!!!" He whooped with happiness and launched himself out of his bed at Reno in an attempted 'omgI'msohappytoseeyouagainyay!' type of tackle hug.

Unfortunately for Tamaki, he hadn't considered the possible consequences of his actions. Normally he wouldn't dare try, but the weekend had been so weird! He was just really grateful that Reno looked like Reno again, and that, at a glance, Reno did not appear to be sick. Hopefully he was also not feeling murderous.

Of course, because Tamaki was, well, Tamaki... none of this was going through his mind as he flew across the room. Poor Tamaki.

Reno. Was. Not. Going. To. KILL. Tamaki.

Really.

He. Was. Just. Going. To. GRIT. His. Teeth.

And. Not. Kill. His. Roomie.

"You can get offa me anytime now, yoto."

Tamaki squished him just one more time. "You're all better! My roomie is normal again!"

His eyes glistened with totally shoujoey tears of joy. Because he's totally from an anime series, so he's allowed!

[raspberryturk]

"Yeah. I'm about as thrilled as you are," Reno stated, narrowing his eyes. "Now, really. Get off."

It was difficult to pummel Tamaki into the floor when he was locked in a deathgrip.

Tamaki finally released his roomie, standing up and striding happily over to the dresser to fetch his school uniform. Once he was able to wipe the happystupid grin off of his face, he turned a pensive gaze towards Reno.

"I'm glad... I was really worried."

[raspberryturk]

Oh, yeah. Over the weekend, he had forgotten that his roomie's brain was made of bubbles and chocobo fluff and sweet sticky pink things.

"Nothin' to worry about now, yo. Got no idea what happened over the weekend, but I'm me again, anyhow."

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

He blinked, pausing in pulling a shirt out of the drawer.

"You don't remember anything?"

[raspberryturk]

That earned a snort.

"I remember all of it, yo. Just don't got any idea how it started in the first place."

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

Tamaki frowned. "So... you weren't bitten by a gremlin?"

[raspberryturk]

"Not that I'm aware of?"

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

"...And you weren't really drunk, or really sick?"

[raspberryturk]

"Nope." Reno paused, trying to get his head around the whole ordeal. "I was just someone else entirely, zoto."

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

Tamaki didn't get it. However, the idea did have merit. After all, he'd learned that anything could happen at Fandom. He decided that any further attempts to explain it would break his brain.

"That would explain the hair," he said simply, getting out his dress pants.

[raspberryturk]

Reno stared at Tamaki for a good, solid minute.

...

"Yeah," he finally said with a smile. "Yeah. It would explain the hair, yo."

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

"Next time," Tamaki grinned back, "Try to be someone more stylish."

[raspberryturk]

Reno had to laugh at that.

"What makes you think it won't be you next time?"

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

Tamaki tossed his head, sending his golden blonde hair bouncing about in a gesture of vanity. "But, Reno, if it was me, I would still transform into a creature of the utmost beauty. There is no other way."

[raspberryturk]

Reno was going to laugh some more.

"Oh come on, Tamaki, pal. Don't you think you've gone and tainted the world enough with your sparkles and roses? Give the poor planet a break, yoto."

This was said entirely in good spirits. Wild.

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

He paused, completely nonplussed. "...sparkles... and roses?"

[raspberryturk]

"Don't tell me you're from a place that doesn't have flowers," Reno said, raising an eyebrow. "I grew up under a chunk of metal, and even I know what roses are, yo."

It was official. Tamaki was weird.

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

No, really, Tamaki wasn't aware that he made sparkles and roses appear all over the place. That was normal where he came from!

"Uh... well, there are a lot of flowers where I came from..." He stood there, wondering why his roommate was so darn strange.

[raspberryturk]

"Whatever." Reno shrugged dismissively. "Just so long as it isn't glitter, it's all good."

Crazy-ass roomie.
