There were strange sounds in the house.

'scrub, scrub, scrub'
'swish, swish, swish'
"Ptooie!"

The same sounds came simultaneously from two separate bathrooms of the small vacation cabin.

'scrub, scrub, scrub'
'swish, swish, swish'
"Ptooie!"

Omi and Ken sat on a small, worn sofa in the downstairs living room of the little, cozy cabin.

"Oi, how long have they been at this, Kenkun?" Omi asked, shaking his head in dismay.

Ken checked his watch, leaning back into the sofa. "Half an hour." He sighed. What the hell was wrong with those two?

Those two. Aya and Yohji.

After a long car ride of so much quiet that Ken could have sworn he heard crickets chirping, they'd finally arrived at their vacation spot. Everyone in the car had sat completely still, not moving a muscle, until Aya had snapped, "Get out!"

They nearly killed themselves opening the car doors.

Yohji had nearly fallen over himself searching through his things, grabbing something fast, running to the house, and immediately locking himself in the tiny downstairs bathroom of the place.

Aya had calmy and quietly picked up his bag and walked into the house purposefully, going up the stairs and locking the door behind him as he entered the larger upstairs bathroom.

Ken and Omi stood outside the car and almost collapsed, laughing themselves blue in the face.

It was half an hour later, and those two were STILL in those bathrooms!

Ken had walked up to Yohji's bathroom door ten minutes ago and knocked. "Hey, Yohji, did you fall in or what?"

No response. Only...

'scrub, scrub, scrub'
'swish, swish, swish'
"Ptooie!"

Ken rolled his eyes and looked over at Omi, next to him on the sofa.

"How long are they going to keep this up?" the youngest Weiss member asked.

Ken shook his head. "Until they brush the enamel off their teeth."

"There's not going to be any toothpaste left for the rest of us!" Omi whined. Slightly agitated, Omi pounded up the stairs and knocked on the door of the bathroom that Aya was in.

"Ayakun! Come out! Kenkun and I have to use the bathroom too!"

No answer.

'scrub, scrub, scrub'
'swish, swish, swish'
"Ptooie!"

"Kenkun!" Omi called in a singsong voice. "I think we're going to have to MAKE them come out!"

"Come on you guys!" Ken yelled from the living room. "Come out or we'll break the doorknobs off!"

Inside the downstairs bathroom, Yohji was frantically brushing his teeth.

//Girls. Think of girls.// Yohji proceeded to list off the names of all the girls he'd had dates with in the past month.
//Reina... Keiko... Junka... Meia... Sakura... Ashura... AYA! NO!//

'scrub, scrub, scrub'
'swish, swish, swish'
"Ptooie!"

//Aya, you hentai!//

Inside the upstairs bathroom, Aya was systematically wearing his gums off with his toothbrush.

//Katana, Aya-Chan, Taketori. Katana, Aya-Chan, Taketori. Katana, Aya-Chan, YOHJI! NO!//

'scrub, scrub, scrub'
'swish, swish, swish'
"Ptooie!"

//Yohji, you bigmouthed asshole!//

Ken fumed in the middle of the living room.

"Alright Omi, this is it. We're breaking off the doorknobs!"

Suddenly, both doors burst open. Yohji stalked out of the bathroom, the smell of mint toothpaste almost chokingly heavy in the air, almost leaving a trail behind.

Omi stifled a laugh and Ken almost choked on the mint in the air.

Aya came down the stairs, a similar mint smell wafting around him, like some dark cloud. Both Aya and Yohji walked into the living room, and plopped onto opposite couches. Throwing glares at each other, they sat silently.

Ken sighed. This was going to be a *long* trip.

"Ayakun, Yohjikun, what is wrong with you two?" Omi piped in.

Yohji glared at Aya.

"This HENTAI violated my personal space. And I like WOMEN kissing me. NOT men."

Ken almost couldn't hold in his laugh at Yohji calling AYA a hentai. Omi couldn't hold it in. He giggled out loud, immediately silenced by a glare from Aya.

Aya's brow shot up. "Hn. It shut your mouth, didn't it, Yohji? And it got you to brush your teeth. I hate the taste of cigarettes."

"Can't we just forget about it?" Ken pleaded.

"No." Aya and Yohji said, simultaneously, then glared at each other and looked away.

"Guys..." Omi started. "Yohjikun, just because Ayakun kissed you..."

"Oi!" Yohji exclaimed. "Don't remind me!"

Yohji got up and tromped up the stairs, into the room he was supposed to share with Omi, closing the door loudly behind him. A moment later Aya followed suit, loudly shutting the door of the room he was supposed to share with Ken.

Ken and Omi shared a *look*.

"Kenkun..." Omi began. Ken simply nodded.

"We're sleeping on the couches tonight, Omi."
