my heart beats so fast it feels like its lastThe blonde watched carefully as the other boy flexed his hand and tested out the bandages. Ezra had tried to wrap it loosely but in a way where it wouldn’t just fall off either, and it looked like he had managed at least that. He had been slightly concerned mostly because he wasn’t a nurse no matter how much he wanted to act like one, and he hadn’t been sure if they would actually stay on or not. He smirked slightly at Toby’s words, though. “It’s not cockiness if it comes from real skill.” He stated, gathering up the dirty alcohol swabs and other pieces of trash. He’d make his way over to the trashcan thereafter and throw them away. He’d need to take the trash out in the morning, he couldn’t stand having trash in his trashcan… even though that was what it was for.
He gathered up the first aid kit as well, and placed it neatly back where he had gotten it from. He grinned slightly when his offer was turned down. “Well, I wouldn’t expect the shirt back or anything.” He told the other, waving his hand slightly as if it didn’t matter. And it really didn’t. Ezra’s parents were filthy rich, one shirt was literally nothing to him. He could go out tomorrow and buy thirty more just like it if he wanted. Not that he was going to tell Toby that. No, that sounded way too snobby. “Sides, I know you’d want to keep it anyway.” He smirked mischievously, flicking the other boy on his arm with his tail as he passed by him to flop back down in his computer chair.
“I mean, you gotta have some proof that you were up here, right?” He raised his eyebrows, though rather quickly he would throw his head back and laugh. Really, Ezra didn’t mean anything by his teasing even though it was rather flirty. Well, Toby was pretty cute. But that was beside the point. Ezra dated a lot of people, but he wasn’t really much of a flirt… or maybe he was and he didn’t even realize it.

HIS REBUTTAL MADE HIM SMIRK. it sounded like something he'd say, so of course he could only give the senior that one. "fair enough." he responded with a shrug. he supposed he could give praise where praise was due, but that was about as good as it would get right now. especially since he didn't want ezra thinking he'd be more tolerable to the offer next time (as he knew very well there would be a next time). again, he really appreciated someone caring about him, but he didn't want it to become a regular thing. he wasn't exactly surprised when ezra tried to convince him to change his mind and was once again unsure if he were meant to feel insulted or not when ezra assured him he hadn't expected getting the shirt back. he crossed his arms, giving a small pout at the ideas formulating in his head, though his expression quickly changed when he went on, that mischievous smirk of his not helping. he went to swat the tail away, smiling in amusement at the arrogant words. "oh really?" he questioned with a quirk of his brow, "what makes you think that?" maybe he didn't like his fashion sense! after all, nice as the older student came across, he also seemed rather... stuffy? he wasn't sure how to describe it really, but compared to his own lax style, ezra didn't seem to fit, so he couldn't imagine he'd have liked what he had to offer anyway. of course, he was clearly missing the point of his jest. till he continued, anyway. tobias blushed again as he caught on to what he was implying, averting his gaze in a weak attempt to hide the embarrassment. "oh my god..." he groaned, his voice practically drowned out by the blonde's laughter. "how did i end up here again?" he questioned to no one in particular. it wasn't that ezra was bad. in fact, he might be what the girls considered insanely attractive, but toby was far too sensitive to this sort of stuff and he was certain if he stuck around much longer his face would end up looking like a firetruck. regardless of how he felt about being the victim to playful flirting, ezra had made a point. somewhere in there, though perhaps not the one implied. he really could use a change of shirt anyway, make his little fighting business less noticeable in case he ran into a teacher before he could retire to his room. "just get me a shirt already." he finally gave in, finding that an awful habit beginning to form with this guy. of course, he had no intention of dressing in front of the other guy, as silly as it might have seemed, so he scanned the room for a good place. "you guy's have a bathroom too, right?" he questioned. surely the layout was roughly the same as lexington's. if so, he could stand to stretch out his tail anyway as it was starting to get sore. | Straight from your mouth and right through my backbone |

my heart beats so fast it feels like its lastHe couldn’t keep from smirking when Toby posed that question. Aww, he was rather innocent for someone without ears, wasn’t he? Or maybe he just wasn’t expecting to be flirted with by a senior of the same sex as him. Well, it wasn’t like Ezra was flirting with him in hopes of dating him or something. As far as he was concerned it was harmless. Either way, he didn’t have to wait too very long for the other male to catch on. He snickered a bit at the reaction. “I think I remember you saying something like, ‘Hey, Ezra, please take me up to your dorm’.” He teased, his pink eyes rather bright as he did so. “And being the kind person I am, I obliged.” That mischievous smirk worked its way back onto his features.
However, he hadn’t exactly been expecting Toby to give in and take his offer. He could tell that the other was a proud person just from their brief meeting – why else was he so eager to turn down help when it was offered? It was why Ezra had just started teasing him rather than trying to legitimately convince him. But maybe teasing actually worked better? He wasn’t sure. In this case it certainly had. “Alright, hang on.” He stood up from his chair once again and made his way over to his dresser, opening a drawer full of neatly folded shirts. He grabbed one on the top, pretty simple. Just a white sweater with a couple buttons on the top, it was something he would have worn as an undershirt, but he wasn’t trying to give Toby a full outfit. He was quite a bit taller than the younger man, and he probably had at least twenty pounds on him too. Trying to dress him entirely in his clothes would have been comical, really.
He walked over, handing Toby the shirt and then flicking his ears in the direction of the bathroom. “Yep, we do.” His eyes glittered a bit as he considered teasing the younger student some more, but then he decided against it. Ezra himself wouldn’t really want to change in front of someone he had just met, after all. He stepped to the side to give the kid a clear path to the bathroom, leaning his shoulder against the wall as he did so.

TOBY WANTED TO BE ANGRY, honest. however, ezra was a bit of a jerk teasing him like that, but not enough to deserve the dark-haired teen's wrath. so instead, he rolled his eyes, muttering something beneath his breath akin to pervert. he couldn't be angry, but he'd definitely give him hell later on when he had the energy to be truly obnoxious. "whatever helps you sleep at night." he sighed, unable to hide a small smirk. a jerk, but someone he could see himself being friends with so long as he didn't go much further than flirting. it was annoying, but he could at least tolerate that much. tobias waited as patiently as he could, watching ezra rummage through a dresser to find him a shirt. convinced that he did in fact have a lame sense of style, he had to see for himself and tried to catch a glimpse as he remained seated. he was nosy for sure, but he didn't want to be called out on it. of course, from this angle it was impossible to get a good look, so he had to settle his judgement on the shirt he'd retrieved. there wasn't really much to judge since it was a plain white sweater, though toby still managed to look unimpressed. he kept his opinions to himself, however, half pleased that he was cooperating without teasing him. once given the shirt, his eyes followed the direction he'd gesture to, relieved that there was in fact a place he could have some privacy. "cool. i'll try not to rummage through your shit." he offered with a chuckle before standing up and making his way to the bathroom. after closing the door behind him, he'd began stripping off his shirt and jacket, letting his crooked tail free and letting it sway behind him as he tried to figure out the sweater. fortunately, he didn't have too much damage he found, aside from the bruises and scars here and there. one particular bruise was on his lower stomach, already turning black from the sucker punch he'd received to the gut. he touched it tenderly before deciding to finally get dressed. he didn't want ezra getting suspicious about him being in the bathroom so long. not long after examing himself did he curl his tail around himself and pulled on the sweater. "holy shit, man!" he exclaimed as he looked at himself in the mirror. he was small compared to the senior but he didn't think he was that small that it'd be noticeable. he could drown in this thing and his hands barely made it out of the sleeves. well, it was loose at least and admittedly comfortable, but he thought he looked a bit ridiculous. regardless of how he felt about it though, he eventually emerged, his jacket and old shirt tossed over his shoulder. "you need to stop being tall if you want to hand out souvenirs." he advised as he tried to push up the sleeves, only for them to fall again shortly after. | Straight from your mouth and right through my backbone |

my heart beats so fast it feels like its lastHe smirked at the younger boy’s quip about going through his things. Ezra didn’t really have anything incriminating in the bathroom that he could think of – he had to share the bathroom with his roommate after all. Maybe he had an embarrassing amount of shampoo and soap for a man, but Toby would have to look in the shower to see that. “It’s only natural to be curious.” He stated with a grin, watching as the other boy disappeared into the bathroom. He forced his fingers through his medium-length blonde hair thereafter, the tabby ears on his head twitching this way and that. The room seemed abnormally quiet for a moment while Toby got dressed. He sighed softly and finally removed his shoes, placing them neatly under his desk with several other pairs before he crawled onto bed and curled his legs in Indian style.
He felt slightly worried about the younger student. He was sure those busted knuckles weren’t the only thing that was ailing him, but he’d given his word and it would be shitty to go back on it now. Besides, maybe the other wounds were in places the kid didn’t exactly feel comfortable with showing. Ezra could tease him easily, but he didn’t truly want to make him uncomfortable. No, that wouldn’t be okay at all. Either way, he worried. Ezra always worried. That was just how he was.
His ears twitched at that exclamation, and his pink eyes widened just slightly. What in the world…? Thankfully Toby exited the bathroom before he got up off the bed, and he couldn’t stop the laugh that worked its way out of his mouth upon seeing him. He had expected the sweater to be big, yes, but not that big. Toby looked like a little kid in it – adorable. Ezra kept that to himself, though, even if it might have showed on his face just a bit. “Maybe the people I’m handing souvenirs out to need to grow a couple inches and gain a couple pounds.” He teased back, his tail curling comfortably around him, the tip twitching just slightly. “Bet it feels better than that dirty thing, though.” He looked at the shirt that was thrown over Toby’s shoulder. Personally, Ezra would have walked around naked before he ever wore something that dirty.

WHY WAS HE EVEN SURPRISED to find the senior hardly even trying to hold back laughter? he crossed his arms over his chest, brows furrowed when he noticed that goofy expression on his face. he didn't know what exactly that look was supposed to mean, but he knew he didn't like it. unsurprisingly, ezra decided to retort, the smaller male sticking his tongue out childishly, unable to come up with a comeback of his own. he was only like barely a head taller than him and that was because he was freakishly tall. (not him being short at all!) and... well.. yeah he could probably stand to gain a couple pounds, evidenced by how baggy the sweater looked and felt on his thin frame so he supposed he couldn't argue that one anyway. he was pretty content though, or perhaps more so indifferent about it. he could still kick ass at any rate! "i'm beautiful!" he finally protested playfully, putting his hands on his hips which shrunk further than the sweater would have you believe. of course, ezra tried to bring some positivity to the table, bringing up a good point that it felt better. he could agree, but he didn't for the simple fact he wanted to be a little ass since he'd been made a fool of the entire time. "hey now." he began, trying to look as serious as he could muster in an over-sized sweater. "this dirty thing is my favorite shirt." he explained. it wasn't though. really, the teen couldn't afford to have a favorite since he ruined most of his clothes within a couple days of buying them. it was why he had to get himself a part-time job since his mother was having a hard time keeping up with his 'roughhousing'. he'd likely end up tossing it if he couldn't get the bloodstains out, but ezra didn't have to know that. sadly, unable to commit to an act for long, toby soon shed the seriousness and cracked a cheesy smile. "it kind of feels good though, for a sweater." he offered as he fiddled with his sleeves a bit, not normally a fan of the look. but he could probably tolerate this one once he got over the too-long sleeves. it was probably a good thing ezra didn't expect to get it back because it was starting to grow on him a bit. "i guess this is the part i say thanks, huh?" he questioned, never having gotten to this point really. he didn't rely on people much thus he never really had to thank anyone before. he was a bit rusty it seemed, but at least he was trying. "even though you pretty much gave me no choice." he added, affirming his whole dislike for the whole deal as if it wasn't already obvious. but he could at least say he did feel better than he had before. | Straight from your mouth and right through my backbone |

my heart beats so fast it feels like its lastSo that tongue definitely wasn’t helping matters in terms of Toby looking like an adorable child in the moment. Ezra smiled a bit wider, but he kept himself from commenting on it yet again. He really didn’t want to fluster the other too badly. He rather liked Toby so far, and he didn’t want to tease him away or something. Nah, that wouldn’t be good. He stretched his legs out in front of himself and wiggled his toes a bit as his tail curled around one of them.
Of course, when Toby made that comment about being beautiful he simply couldn’t help himself anymore. The smirk on his face made it clear what the nature of his next comment would be. “Can’t argue with that one~” He winked, though he would snicker shortly thereafter, making it seem as though his agreement could have been a joke. The darker haired teen could take it however he wanted, of course, but he’d set himself up for it, really. Ezra had been trying really hard to be good, after all.
His eyes settled on the shirt as Toby told him it was his favorite. Ezra didn’t know him well enough to know that wasn’t true, so a bit of a frown appeared on his features. The shirt looked pretty ruined to him. “I can try and get the stains out of it for you?” He offered, raising his eyebrows a bit. Despite the fact that he had never had to do laundry, he’d been doing his own laundry since he was ten. He simply didn’t trust anyone else to get it clean enough. In short, if anyone could remove the stains he could. Of course, some things were just permanently stained.
The smirk worked its way back onto his features when the comment about his sweater was made. Well, really, he supposed it was actually Toby’s sweater now. “It looks good on you.” He stated, sticking his tongue out a bit. It did look kind of nice on him, despite being too big. Maybe he was just biased because it was his sweater, though. “Nah, no need to thank me. If you ever see me walking around with busted knuckles I just expect you to take care of me.” He grinned warmly thereafter.

HE DID ASK FOR IT... that didn't change the fact that his response caught him off guard though. he hadn't actually expected him to agree! of course, not wanting to allow himself to get too flustered (that was probably what ezra wanted anyway!), he managed to play it cool, smirking back and giving an assured nod. "damn right!" he agreed, far too cocky for his own good. that was what made toby toby though. if you couldn't handle him at his worst, you didn't deserve him at his best. his face still felt hot though, no matter how confident he appeared. teasing the other didn't seem to go as well though and toby almost felt awful for him taking it seriously. of course, this guilt was overshadowed by the exasperation he felt because of his offer. this guy was far too nice. he wouldn't have been surprised if people took advantage of that. not that he could say much though. of course, not wanting him to go too far worrying about offending him, toby shook his head, raising hidden hands up in defense to stop him. "i'm joking, i'm joking." he chuckled. "though i'll keep that in mind if i don't feel like doing laundry one day." he teased. an empty threat, but he probably didn't know that. toby snicked however when ezra reasoned that he expected him to return the favor down the road. he hadn't meant to make fun of the idea, in fact he could only agree that it was fair that he'd help out, but he had a feeling the senior wouldn't be impressed if he tried to clean up his wounds. his form of treatment wasn't exactly on par with the blonde's. "better yet, just point me towards the direction of whoever fucked you up and i'll take care of them." he explained, not entirely joking about that either. of course, if he ever could help the older male, he certainly would. he owed him that much. | Straight from your mouth and right through my backbone |

my heart beats so fast it feels like its lastHe caught the little blush on the other male’s features, but he didn’t seem quite as flustered as Ezra had been expecting. That was good, though. Maybe it meant Toby was just getting used to him, since he did happen to like to tease people just a little bit. Not too much. That was one area where he could keep himself from taking it too far, since he could watch them get visibly flustered and stuff, he knew where to draw the line.
Joking. He was joking. It was Ezra’s turn to get a bit flustered as he felt his cheeks heat up just slightly. Of course with his pale features and pink eyes, any blush that graced his face was bound to be noticed. Rather than react in any other way, though, he simply laughed and shook his head. “Hey now, I’m no one’s maid.” He stated, sticking his tongue out as the brief blush melted off of his features. The truth of the matter was, though, that if Toby were to bring a basket of dirty clothes they would have been washed. He couldn’t allow anything to stay dirty around him for too very long, after all. Even if he insisted he wasn’t a maid.
He raised his eyebrows a bit at that snicker, though a chuckle would easily pass from his lips when the offer was made. Ezra rarely got into fights, and when he did he was much more likely to hide in his room and lick his wounds than seek out help, but it was a nice offer. “Just as long as you don’t get busted up yourself.” He grinned and raked his fingers through his hair, pushing it back off of his face.

THERE WAS A SMALL SENSE OF VICTORY to find redness on the other student's face for a change, toby happy he wasn't the only one susceptible to blushing, making the teasing even more worth it. of course, he rolled with it quite well unlike him, simply laughing along and continuing the conversation like his being embarrassed wasn't even a big deal. that kind of killed the victory a little bit, but success was still success so he'd take whatever he could get. "you aren't a nurse either but you seemed to wrap my knuckles up pretty good." he reminded, showing off the wrapped hand again as if the older teen could have possibly forgotten. of course, his confidence would waver just slightly when ezra posed up the condition that he didn't get hurt in the process. "ehhh..." he dropped eye contact, smiling. "yeah no promises there." he wasn't that big of an idiot. he knew his chances of getting out of a fight unscathed were slim, if not totally impossible. "i can promise i'll try not to." he offered with a laugh. well, it was starting to seem he might have gotten a friend out of this after all. he was already gearing to fight for him if things went sour. of course, he'd do that for everybody but promising he'd try not to get hurt was a whole other matter. things got quiet just enough for the teen to register his phone was vibrating in his jacket's pocket. after fishing it out, his eyes widened as he turned on the screen to find the alarm was going off. "when the hell did it get this late?" he muttered to himself himself, honestly quite surprised. time seemed to have flown by, the dark haired male having lost track talking to the senior. it was his alarm for the curfew, the boy having gotten in enough trouble being late too much before it would seem and he certainly didn't want to get in trouble for something so stupid. of course, that meant it was time to cut the chat short, even though it hadn't been really. "i guess i better go before anybody get's the wrong idea." he smirked, a faint red returning to his cheeks for even playing along with the earlier tease. "try not to miss me too much!" he signed off with a salute, not even giving a chance for any goodbyes as he, in a flash, made his way out the door, hoping to reach his room before anybody caught him. | Straight from your mouth and right through my backbone |
