Remember When [Nolan]

"This coming from the guy who beats their asses? Especially since they always come whining to me about you." he scoffed a bit, rubbing the back of his neck a bit before leaning back against the couch. "They'll see their hospital bills piling up...it'll make them stop," he muttered in a bemused tone, rolling his eyes a bit. The brunette sighed softly, glancing down over a the melting ice cream, not really feeling like eating any more of it. He then proceeded to hop off the couch, picked up the bowl and headed into his small kitchen to get rid of the melting ice cream. Well at least Kim had generous thoughts. "And nagging," he grumbled to himself, putting the now empty bowl in the sink before glancing behind his shoulder over at the red head. "Don't be afraid to ask the sadistic red head for help? I'll keep that in mind," he chuckled to himself, shaking his head a bit. He didn't won't to rely on the red head all the time though. It didn't feel right at all.

"Eh, that's just how we show our love for each other," Reno brushed it off nonchalantly, taking the chance to lay down on the couch as Nolan got up from it. A smile tugged at his lips as he heard the other mutter about the gangs upcoming bills, and figuried they'd had suffered enough, for now. He wasn't their damn caretaker afterall, let them deal with the consequences for not being able to hande 'no' for a good enough answer.
He rolled his eyes at the other's words, but was smiling a bit nontheless at hearing his friend chuckle, glad to feel that the mood had lightend up. It's not that he was aksing for nOlan to realy on him 24/7, in that aspect Reno understod only wantign to be able to relay on oneself, he's the same. But, should it ever come to that... then Nolan needed to understand, he wasn't alone. "I'm not always an asshole," he whined childishly, trialing off a bit as he seemed to rethink his words. "Uh yeah, nevermind..." he chuckled, pushing himself off the couch as well. He walked over to where Nolan was, stopping barely a feet away from him. "So, are we... ok?" he asked, leaning forward until his forehead was resting against the brunette's shoulder. "Or will I have to drag you back to my place? I'm missing my Teddy Bear," he added with a soft chuckle.

"Yeah right," Nolan scoffed in amusement, not believing those words for a second. That was complete utter bullshit as well. "Ya sure about that?" the brunette teased him, smirking a bit over his shoulder at the red head before returning his attention to the bowl in the sink. "You're an asshole I can deal with...if you weren't then I wouldn't be friends with you." he added with a light smile, glancing up as he heard the male get up off the couch and his foot steps approaching behind him. The brunette stayed silent for a moment before nodding his head a bit. "Yes, we're okay...Ginger." he responded to the male's question, blinking in surprise as the male rested his forehead on the back of Nolan's shoulder. "Having trouble sleeping?" he teased the male, rolling his eyes at the nickname. "For the last time...I'm not your teddy bear."

Even if nothing on the redhead showed it, he felt a big wave of relifef wash over when Nolan nodded and assured him thet yes, they're ok now. They could leave this little mess behind them and just move forward. "You know I do," Reno chuckled slightly, leaning his body more firmly agaisnt the other without really thinking much about it, wrapping his arms slowly around the male's waist. He had always been sort of clingy, especailly when in one of his 'cuddling moods'. But now after their recent little incident, there was still that awkwardness hanging in the air between them. But Reno didn't want things to suddenly feel weird or change between them, so he acted like he normally would without putitng to much thought into it. "Insomnia is just one of my many beloved little quirks," he snorted sarcastically, not needing to admit out loud that he's had a bit more troudble sleeping than usual without Nolan there. The guy is one giant Teddy Bear, weather he liked it or not.

Nolan scoffed a bit before pausing for a moment as the red head leaned his body more firmly against him and wrapped his arms around the brunette's waist. This wasn't really different from the other times that the male had been cuddly with Nolan. But after that incident in the bar restroom, it stirred something else inside of the brunette. A warm, fuzzy feeling really. But that didn't give him any reason to pull out of the ginger's grasp. "I feel like a body pillow most of the time,' Nolan huffed in amusement before staying silent for a long moment until letting out a deep sigh. "Answer this one question. Why'd ya fuck me?" Sure, friends got pissed off and mad at their friends most of the time. But usually they just distance from each other and ignored each other after arguing. That's what him and the ginger did....but having slight rough sex in the bar's restroom? Now that was just odd.

Another amused grinned tugged at the redhead's lips, and had to press his mouth against Nolan's shoulder more to muffle his laughter. Why was it so easy to picture Nolan as body pillow as well? Ha, because he pretty much turn into one whenever Reno demands some cuddling. That was a nice thought. Both a Teddy and a body pillow, his friend sure was handy.
And then came the question, making the small moment of comfort fall right back to being awkward and hesitating. And what the it worse, Reno wasn't so sure he had an asnwear to that himself. Ok that was kind of a lie... He's always been possesive, and jealous too, despite his usual demanor of not giving a single fuck about anything or anyone.
So with a sigh, he pulled back from the warm embrace, letting his arms fall back to his sides. "Well, aside from being mad as hell, I was also jealous," he bluntly stated. "Anger and jealousy don't mix well, especially with me as you've noticed by now, so I wasn't thinking straight, if even at all. Don't ask me why it made jump you like that beacuse.... Honestly I'm not sure myself." And he was being nothing but honest right then, unable to give a better answear than this.

Nolan rolled his eyes a bit as the male had to muffle his laughter against the brunette's shoulder. After asking that question though, the red head had became silent. Had that been a bit too soon to ask? Must have been when the ginger had pulled back from the warm embrace causing Nolan to glance behind his shoulder before turning around to face Reno. "Jealous?" He tilted his head, furrowing his eyebrows at the male before him. Why would he be jealous? They were friends only. There were no sexual benefits between them whatsoever. Neither of them had never made a move on each other that is until the bar incident. "I better had not been the only one who felt good," he muttered to himself, knowing that he had liked the sex, even if the ginger was shitty at the forced entry.

Reno frowned a bit, glancing away with a pout. "Yes, jealous," he repeated with a childish whine, crossing his arms over his chest. hearing Nolan say it somehow just made it sound more silly for the redhead. They were just friends after all.. Though Reno hadn't missed the sexual tension between them now and then either, he couldn't have been the only one between the two to have noticed right?
He looked back at the brunette with a funny look however when he caught on to what he had mutterd to himself, taking a step back towards him. Wordlessly and with a flat expression, Reno raised both of his hands and grabbed hold of Nolan's cheeks, pinching them. "Aren't you the smarter one here?" he snorted, letting go and flicking the brunette on the head instead. "If I didn't enjoy that, then I might as well be asexual," he snickerd, smirking in that cheecky and wicked way of his.

Nolan couldn't help but snicker at the male's childish remark. Now that was just cute of the red head, that the brunette couldn't ignore.
Brown eyes glanced to see the red head step back toward him and brought his hands up towards the brunette. He tensed up before his cheeks wwre soon pinched by the ginger. He couldnt help but roll his eyes at the males cheeky remark and shaking his head to rid of the male's hands. "Just wanting to make sure...and don't insult my intelligence," he grumbled, eyeing his friend as well as staring at him. He then quickly averted his eyes and stayed silent as he thought about something. "Ya know...if ya want to do that benefit thing like on that movie. It's up to you, just a suggestion though." He mumbled quickly with slightly pink cheeks.

As Nolan went silent again and averted his eyes, Reno was about to retort with something to gain back the male's attention again, only to have his own words caught in his own throat the next moment. He blinked, tilting his head a bit as he stared silently at the other for a couple of seconds. Well, he sure hadn't been expecting Nolan to suggest... that. Not that he was complaining though, or against it for that matter. In fact, the more he thought about it, the mire appealing the idea became. And damn his Teddy was even blushing a bit! How the hell would anyone be able to turn that offer down?
"God damn it, don't do that!" The redhead groan out, wrapping his arms tightly around the other and pulling him into a hug, nuzzling his cheek against the top of Nolan's head. "You're to fucking adorable, jesus christ," he snickerd, ruffling up the brunette's hair before pulling back enough to look at the other's face, but with his arms still wrapped around him. "Sure, the idea sounds tempting enough," he winked, before poiting at his lips with a suggestive smirk. "Should we seal the deal with a kiss~?"

Nolan could feel the male just staring at him after what he had just suggested about them being friends with benefits. He didn't know why he suggested such a thing. Yet it would be so awkward between the two if they felt attracted to each other and weren't doing shit about it. It definitely couldn't be a relationship because..well Nolan had never really been in once and was bit afraid of it. Though the biggest reason was that the brunette had never really wanted to be tied down by strings, although the idea of doing it with someone that he cared for and liked sounded nice. Like the red head before him. Good god, his mind was seriously jumbled and fucked up, wasn't it?
"Don't do what" the brunette asked out in a confused tone as he glanced back up to the male, widening his eyes as the ginger suddenly wrapped his arms around him and pulled Nolan into a tight hug. While nuzzling his cheek against the top of the brunette's head, just causing him to blush even more at the male's antics. "I ain't adorable ginger! And stop doing that! I'm not a puppy!" he whined out childishly, rolling his eyes at how his tone sounded as well. Oh great, the red head's antics were rubbing off on him finally. Knew this was going to happen sooner or later.
At the mention of sealing the deal with a kiss, Nolan just quirked an eyebrow at the red head like he had gone mad before shrugging his shoulders. "Like that's going to seal it," he huffed under his breath before leaning up and kissing the male on the lips with a sly smirk.

"Don't act so god damn cute," Reno just laughed at his friend's reaction, so tempted to point out how childish he was acting, for not to mention how like the ginger it was. Guess all that time spending with him finally rubbed some of his personality off on him, unsurprisingly. The redhead snorted, giving the brunette a found look and giving a small shrug himself. It was quite obvious to anyone that Reno wasn't the type for relationships. Oh he has his fair experience with them, but whenever they ended Reno never cried over it or cared much. He realized quite early that one night stands and the sort were much more preferable., and way easier to deal with. And having a friend's with benefits was more than ok with him too, especially with someone he genuinely cared for like Nolan. However... if it were to turn out into something serious (which, Reno honestly couldn't see happening...) the redhead couldn't say he'd mind that.
"Just learn to play along, it's fun," Reno chuckled, leaning down himself as Nolan kissed him, returning it without hesitation.

"I'm not cute either," he growled a bit into the kiss, nipping a bit at the male's bottom lip harshly before leaning out of the kiss quickly. He stuck his tongue out playfully at the male, giving him a look. "And that's for a bit of the stress you've caused me," Nolan huffed a bit, giving the male a playful smirk as he leaned against the counter of the sink. Ever since that day with the red head, Nolan hadn't had sex at all. So yes, it was definitely pent up and it was all the ginger's fault. "The deal is sealed as well." The brunette added in a humorous tone, tilting his head at the male with a playful gaze.

Reno just smirked against the other's lips, mumblng out a soft 'ouch' as Nolan bit his lip harshly, although it didn't sound like ir hurt him, or that he minded it. "The stress I caused you?" he snorted, quirking an eyebrow at the other in amusment. Chuckling under his breathe, he leaned in after Nolan, placing one arm on eahc of his side and trapping him agaisnt the counter. What about the all that dman stress you casued me then? he thought while trailing his lips down Nolan's neck teasingly. "Well, we can't have that now, can we..." he whisperd sensually against the skin of Nolan's neck, moving his head up until their lips were brushing agaisnt each others. "How can I ever make it up to you~?"

"Yes, the stress you caused me," he murmured in an exact tone, watching as the male trapped him against the counter.He knew what the male was thinking, but Nolan wasnt going to aknowledge it. As soon as the males lips trailed down his neck, Nolan gasped softly as he arched his neck a bit to give the ginger more access. "What do you think?" The brunette murmured a bit against the male's lips before kising the red head once again and pressing his body up against the male.

Reno hummed softly into the kiss, moving one of his hands up to tangled his fingers in the brunette's hair, while the other moved to wrap itself around the male's waist. "Well, I think..." Reno began, barely pulling away from the kiss. "That the bed would be much more comfortable for me to make it up to you~" he winked, without warning slipped his hands under Nolan's thighs and lifting him up, effortlessly carrying him off towards the bed.

"And for me as well," Nolan chuckled softly in the kiss, referring to the last time they had sex that he had done Nolan over a sink. This time it had better be on a damn bed this time. The brunette quickly cursed as the red head slipped his hands under his thighs and quickly lift him up to carry him towards the male's bed. "Give me a warning, Ginger." Nolan quickly murmured as he wrapped his arms around the male's neck quickly. He kind of wondered how they were going to let Kim know about this...she'd probably already find out before being told.

"I'm not on a killing spree this time, I'll be gentle," Reno chuckled, nipping at brunette's neck as he walked them both towards the bed, not needing to look where he was going or placing his feet. He knew this little hole of a home like the back of his hand. "Or well, I'll try to be, I mean~" he added after a second pause, dropping Nolan on the bed once he reached it, again without a warning. Grinnign wickedly down at the other, Reno lowerd himself above the othe before Nolan could sit up, and caputerd the male's lips once again in a deeper kiss than their last one.

Nolan couldnt help but roll his eyes at the fentle remark, shaking his head a bit. "You'll try?" He snickered in amusement before cursing as he was suddenly dropped down onto the bed, shooting a glare up at the male. Before he could even try to sit up, the red head was so generous in lowering himself down onto the brunette, capturing his lips in another deep kiss. The brunette complied to the kiss, leaning up to deepen the kiss as his hand reached up and threaded through the red hair

"Yes," Reno smirked, giving the male a playful wink and purred. "For you~" Though Reno had already gotten enough hints that Nolan liked things rough, another thing they shared in common. This little benefit thing would sure come in handy, benefiting them both.
Leaning into the kiss, a small content sigh escaped his lips as he felt the other's fingers throguh his hair, lowering himself down fully until their bodies layded spralwed out agaisnt the matress. He moved one hand to run through Nolan's hair too, before craddling his face gently instead, his other hand trailing up beeneth Nolan's shirt, teasingly running over the skin on his stomach.

[Timeskip again woohoo!]

"This is kind of disappointing," the twelve year old mumbles to himself, eyeing the door infront of him with an unimpressed look. OK sure, guess he shouldn't have expected for the redhead to live in some overly high prized and fancy mansion. The apartment seemed nice enough though, small but with the cozy feeling to it. But, it was still in the slums. With a shrug, Hiro easily lock picked the door open and invites himself inside the apartment,a nd just as he had suspected, it didn't turn out to be much. Guess the ginger was more than fine with the simple things in life. Heh, how nice. Speaking of his reluctant saviour, the guy is probably out on some gangster job or whatever it ws he does... So Hiro could surely crash here for a while. Deciding that yes, yes he could do that, Hiro tossed his backpack on the couch as he passed it, and immediately went over to the kitchen to look through the fridge, and put his ice cream in the freezer before it melted. He was deligthed to see there already was soem cie cream there though, grinning widley and decided to serve himself a portion of the chocolate mint faloverd treat.

Hearing the sound of the door to the apartment shutting closed, the brunette sleeping in the red head's bed had awoken to the sound immediately. He glanced over at the alarm clock tiredly, furrowing his eyebrows at the time. It wasn't time yet for his night shift nor was it time for the red head to get home. Just yet. Maybe the ginger got home early? If so, it was a bit strange that he hadn't came into the bedroom and just hugged the brunette crazily like he usually did when the red head got home. Maybe it was a bad day, Nolan thought to himself as he hopped out of the bed and headed out of the bedroom. Brown eyes quickly flitted over at the backpack on the couch before over at the kitchen, widening at the sight of a young boy treating himself...to his ice cream!
"Hey, hey! That's my ice cream, you little shit!" Nolan quickly shouted out, immediately waking up completely at the sight of the midget. "How the hell did you get in?!"

Hiro jumped at the sudden shock of someone else in the apartment yelling out at him, almsot hitting his head agasitnt he freezer as he twirled around on his feet as stare wide eyed at whoever the other person was. His surprsied expression quickly faded however, replaced by a rather calm expression as merely quirked an eyebrow at the brunette across the room. "Oh, didn't think he was the type to have roommates," he mumbled, noming on the ice cream anyways with a small pout. Well this cmlicated his little plan... No matter, he could work around this too for sure. "The door was left pickable," was his simple resonpe to Nolan's question, casually shutting the freezer behind him and strolled over to the couch, slumping down beside his beloved backpack.

The young kid had quickly turned around, almost hitting their head against the freezer while doing so, their eyes wide at the sight of him. At first, Nolan thought the brat was going to run but alas that didn't happen. The male's surprised expression was quickly replaced by a calm expression and what came out of his mouth wasn't something that he had expected. Was he talking about the red head. "Are you talking about the ginger?..." Oh gods, did that damn ginger befriend some brat? "That doesn't mean shit with you sneaking in." he scoffed in annoyance, watching as the the boy went over to the couch and slumped down on the couch. "what the hell are ya doing here?"

"Well duh, this apartment is his after all," was Hiro's snarky reply, contently munching down on his ice cream while putting on the TV. Leaning back in the couch, he first appeared to out right be ignoring the older male in the room, until he asked him what the hell he was doing there. "Hanging out," was Hiro's simple reply, again acting as if everything was fine and dandy and nothing out of the ordinary. "Who are you by the way?" he asked without turning his eyes away from the television, not really sounding that interessted in knowing. "It didn't say anywhere that Reno had a roommate."
