Behind cigars and smoke [Remi]

Jerking his head up at the sudden scream comming towards them, Reno could only blink at first when saw his rommate suddenly pop out of nowhere and wrapp himself aroudn Remi in a tight embrace, looking all to delitghed and hyper beacuse of what he assumed was ice cream. He watched the two have their moment and hug each other for a moment, for some reason being reminded of a child and her puppy.
"Wazzup, rommie," he then casually greeted, when he felt like making his presence known.

Tadashi just had the time to open his mouth and stare in disbelief at Remi as she scolded him for leaving her again before Reno revealed his presence, making him tense up immediately. "oh! H-hi...Hey Reno..." he smiled sheepishly, slowly breaking the hug with Remi, even if staying pretty close to her, and looking quite embarrassed. He was well aware how childish he could be and usually he didn't mind, but... he didn't really want to share that with his 'though, manly' roommates...
Still, he couldn't just leave the conversation with Remi hang like that "I did come to your room but your roommate told me you went already on your own." he replied unable to hide a childish pout

Remi rolls her eyes. "It’s all right," She nudges Tadashi before slipping her arm around his waist. Remi then squints when Reno calls Tadashi "roomie." "Wait," She looks from Tadashi to Reno and back. Judging from Tadashi's suddenly shy disposition, it’s true. "You two...are roommates?" That would make Reno one of the "manly" guys which Remi can’t help scoff at. "Reno!" Remi scolds. "Are you being mean to him?! And don’t say that you aren't when you are because I seriously can’t stand people who lie for small things. But if you are I’m going to be seriously cross with you because I don’t find it hard to believe that you’d intimidate him." She accuses before looking to Tadashi. "Are you shy from this guy?! He’s so..." Remi looks to Reno, trying to find an adjective. "Him. I don’t know. But you need to loosen up, look at you. You barely said a word!" Remi hates scolding Tadashi because Tadashi hates it, but she can’t help it. Remi then sighs and leans into her friend. "Yeah..tough crowd." She mentions her roommates.

This guy, Reno thought, smiling in a less cocky manner and more friendly instead as he gave Tadashi a small wave. He practically radiates innocence. Before he had time to respond to either of the two, Remi shut him up but suddenly scolding him for whatever reason. As she went off on another ramble off hers, the redhead's confused expression turned into a questioning one, and glanced up over at Tadashi. Wait, had he done something bad to the guy? He couldn't recall either him or Flynn doing something frighten him... right? So far, the geek hadn't given Reno any reason to be mean to him. He had even lent him a pc to borrow!
Glancing back at the blonde, the returned her look with an unamused one. He couldn't really argument about not being intimidating he supposed, but not all the time. "I've no idea what I did to scare ya, but, sorry...?" He didn't really sound like he was apologizing, more like just asking a question and hoping for someone to fill him in on what he's missed. He just sighed after a few seconds however, not really caring much in the end. Being balmed for something, wether he did it or not, was an usual thing.

He didn't mind at all the fact that Remi slipped an arm around his waist, not even in front of Reno, and he couldn't help but smile toward Remi... at least before she understood the connection between them and started scolding the other guy. Suddenly Tadashi's face got so red a bright, ripe tomato would have looked pale in comparison! "Remiiiii!!!!!!!!" He complained with a whiney voice, hugging her again and hiding his face next to her neck, and since he wasn't much more taller than her it came quite easy. Well.. he did tell her that his roommied were quite intimidating to him... but he didn't expect her to do that! How could he go back to his room now? Well, it was Remi's fault so he could sleep on her couch... yup, that sounded like a plan. "you didn't do anything..." he lowly mumbled in reply to Reno, still hiding his face and quite just wishing to disappear: it wasn't his fault if he was so socially awkward! He was childish and immature and puppy-like... but he couldn't help! Uff... that was why he got along better with girls: a good part of them tended if not to understand at least to be protective toward him...

"What?" Remi demands when Tadashi whines. Then it occurs to her that aye she had embrassed him and isn’t exactly improving the situation. "Oh Tadashi," She starts to laugh a little bit when he lays his head in her neck. "I’m sorry!" She apologizes innocently, stroking her hand over his hair. "Well, I guess I don’t have to tell you any more about the guy I mentioned...earlier, do you remember?" Remi says to Tadashi in a fashion that isn’t exactly quiet and that isn't exactly open for everyone there to chime in on. She’s sure that Reno probably heard her which makes her flush slightly. "Anyway," Remi began hastily. "Reno and I have a sort of...bet that we’re currently working out in case you’re wondering." She wanted to talk to Tadashi about Reno but she wasn’t sure what she'd say and she didn’t know why. Remi keeps stroking Tadashi's hair to comfort him. He really is adorable.

"Riiiight," Reno crawls out, giving Tadashi a look between amusement and suspicion. Ok seriously, the way these two huddled up to eachother... Had it been anyone else clinging onto Remi like that, it would easily be thought as intimate. But this? The geek was like a puppy, craving the attention from his master, and thus Reno could once again only see a girl petting her pet. A weird, yet kinda cute sight actually.
His blue eyes focused back on Remi, smirking in delight as he took notice of the flush on her face. "So, apparently you've both talked about me. And obviously, I've made quite an impression," he snickerd while glancing down at his watch. Guess he betetr head back now anyway. "Yeah, Remi will be my acting maid for this week," Reno cheerfully said, messing up the blonde's hair a bit. "And roomie, just relax around me and Rider, make it easier for yourself, ok?" he chuckled, before reaching for Remi's hand and returing her bags to her. "If there's nothing else you wanna lecture me about, I'll be taking my leave now."

Tadashi kept his face hidden the whole time Remi spoke to him, pouting, even if none of them could see him since he was hiding his face. He replied only with an affirmative 'mhm' at her question. Only when she mentioned the bet he finally rose his head, his cheeks still slightly red, looking interrogative at both Remi and Reno "uh? What bet?" he asked actually curious, still holding Remi.
At Reno's remark toward him he blushed a bit once again and mumbled something that wasn't really clear before he hid once again his face on Remi's neck "I wanna sleep with you tonight!" he said in a whiny tone lowly, but probably not lowly enough not to be heard by Reno... and he meant on her couch, and he knew Remi would get that, but maybe Reno wouldn't get the same meaning from his phrase...

Remi feels disappointment at Reno saying that he would be leaving but then looks to Tadashi as she realize he still needs her. "Oh, nothing," She chuckles nervously. "Tell you about it later." Which she would since she'll have time since he’s declared he wants to sleep with her tonight. "Oh, okay! Though you can stay in my bed with me. Our couch is comfortable and all but it’s kind of small, you won’t fit. I mean, at least probably. Anyway, my bed is more than big enough some I barely take up any of it!" Remi and Tadashi slept in the same bed a lot much to her parent's dismay. So she typically stayed at his house when they had sleepovers.

Reno could do nothing but blink again at the two, obviously havign heard what Tadashi had whined to Remi, and what she had replied back with. Um... Somehow he still knew there wasn't anything more than friendship between them. A very close, intimate firendship apparently. Funny thing is, he could still only imagne a puppy curling up to it's master. However, unlike before, Reno couldn't hep but feel a bit... jealous of his rommate.
"Somehow, I feel like I'm intruding on something here," he casually spoke up, his easy going and relaxed smile gone, and replaced by a somewhat unsure expression. "See ya both around then."

He obviously had no problems in sleeping in the same bed with Remi, thing that made his parents laugh quite a lot, but luckily they had always been ok with it and never complained. But he wasn't sure her new roommates would be ok if he slept in the same room with them... "Are you sure? Would your roommies agree?" he asked lowly, unable to hide both the surprise and the hope in his voice but then, as Reno spoke up again, this time in a less relaxed way, he rose his head a bit, just enough to allow him to look at him. Intruding... on what? He just didn't want to have to face him now for the evening... He looked at Remi, then Reno, then Remi again: there was something going on between them that he couldn't quite catch... maybe it was the bet. "If you want to go to him go, I don't mind..." he said lowly to Remi, adding then with a smile "I have icecream to keep me company"

Remi waved a dismissive hand at the mention of her roommates. Sure they got along just fine but it was really difficult for her to relate to them being that they're millions of light years smarter than she is. "They'll be fine. You guys can geek it up and talk about whatever. One of my roommates is into like military technology. They'll love you." Remi insisted before looking at Reno as he spoke. He looked different. He was smiling or smirking and his cocky expression was gone. She's gotten so accustomed to seeing him that way she almost didn’t like it. Intruding? Remi glanced at Tadashi. Then when Reno declare his departure again Tadashi spoke again and Remi blushes a bright red. "No! It’s fine! I want some too!" She knew that wasn't true since she doesn’t eat ice cream so then she just huffed. "Let's get going before it started melting, okay?" Remi started pushing Tadashi, removing his head from her neck finally and looked back at Reno. "See you around." She gave him an innocent smile and a small wave before hooking her arm with Tadashi's and yanking him away from the scene.

Reno chuckled a bit at them both, rolling his eyes when they only looked confused at his words. As Tadashi turned his attention on him for a moment, Reno merley returned the questiiong (and still shy) look with a blank expression of his own. Am I really that scar looking? he mentally asked himself. Feeling his hand begiging to twitch again for a need after a smoke again, he shoved his hands inside his pockets. He turned his back on them and left in the opposite direction right after Remi hurridely yanked Tadashi after her.
"Yeah, yeah," he mumbled, his content mood now completley thrown out the window.
