Spoiled

[Riley]

"Aw... after I just cleaned all of them," Riley muttered sadly. He knelt down and placed a hand on Tera's shoulder lightly. "Are your okay? I wasn't watching where I was going, sorry," he said softly.

"Don't worry about me being dirty, I just took a bath," he added hastily.

[Teragon]

He flinched away from the hand and glared at him. "Makes no difference." he snapped, standing up and brushing himself off, frowning at his apple as it lay on the floor.

The entire time, he had kept his gaze everywhere except the thief and thouroughly refused to look at him. "You made a mess." came the fact.

[Riley]

"Yeah, but you helped," the brunetted retorted. He began picking up the coins. "I cleaned them all, ya know. Just for you so you could keep them cause I felt bad about taking them when they were yours," he said softly. "They were germ free, but now I suppose they are dirty again, right?"

[Teragon]

He blinked and looked at him. "What?"

[Riley]

"I said I cleaned your money," Riley repeated. "Because... well, I guess I wanted them to be clean for you," he admitted softly.

[Teragon]

He blinked again. He felt touched. Honestly touched. No one had ever done something so simple for him. Usually when something had gotten dirty, or old, he'd just toss it and someone would buy him a new one. It had gotten to the point that the servents would simply toss anything of his older than a year or so and replace it on their own.

But this...theif had gone through the trouble of washing money for him. Something he had plenty of and didn't even think twice about normally, and actually wanted to return it. Even though he obviously had plenty of money, and the theif did not. He could have just run off with it, but...

"Thank you..." he mumbled, looking at te floor, cheeks flushing.

[Riley]

Riley couldn't help smiling a little. So Tera could be polite once in awhile. Surprise, surprise. He glanced over at the mint haired boy, smiling even more when he saw his blush. It looked absolutely adorable when he was embarrassed, not angry.

When he finished picking up all the coins, he tied the washcloth around them tightly- so they wouldn't spill as easily this time. "Now," he said softly, taking Tera's hands and placing the washcloth in them carefully. He held the other's hands a moment longer than he had meant to, before taking them away slowly. For some reason, it felt really nice holding his hands in his. "Now," he repeated, "don't drop them. 'Else you can clean them up yourself this time."

[Teragon]

He shook his head and handed them back. "You keep them. Like you said before, I don't need them. I'm spoiled enough already."

[Riley]

"You sure?" Riley asked hesitantly. "That's very generous of ya, Tera," he smiled. He wrapped his hands around the washcloth. "How does it feel being nice?" he asked.

[Teragon]

He frowned. "Don't get cocky." he snapped, face still red. "Just because I'm giving you money doesn't mean anything. I just don't need it. Think of it as charity. Now that my good deed of the day is done, clean up this hallway since you made a mess of it!" With a huff, he brushed passed him and stormed off down the hallway.

[Riley]

"I already cleaned up the hallway!" Riley yelled. "You can clean up your own apple, you was the one eatin' it!" He stuffed the washcloth filled with money in his pocket. It bulled out so his pocket looked weird, but that was okay. "It's not very polite ta keep running off on your guests, ya know. Even I, the poor one, knows that."

[Teragon]

"You're not my guest!" he retorted, glaring over his shoulder.

[Riley]

"Ya I am!" he retorted. "I'm a guest in this house, ain't I? And you live in this house, don'cha? So I'm your guest."

[Teragon]

He spun around fully, glaring daggers. "If it were up to me, you'd still be out there! Starving to death no less! I don't care about you, and I don't like you! The only reason you're here is because Gio dragged you ehre and Jeve`'s taking pity on you! You're dirty and disgusting, and I shouldn't even bother wasting my breath on speaking to you!"

[Riley]

The brunette crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow. He couldn't think up a good come back to that, so he remained quiet a moment. Tera was such a pretty boy, it was disappointing that he was so rude. That's what came of being so rich, he supposed. "Well... you sure do a lot of whining," he muttered, not being able to think of something else.
