By some strange accumulation of events, Kaji had found himself overcome with the need to see a certain redheaded Irishman. It hadn't even occurred to her to contact Jamie at all until he was practically at the his door. He had half a mind to just turn around and go home, but he just couldn't bring himself to leave. Before he could convince himself otherwise, Kaji rapped his knuckles on the other Ookami's apartment door.

Well that startled the redhead upright. Jamie's sleep patterns varied wildly, and as per always, the sun made him sleep lightly. The real question was who was knocking on his door so early in his day? Yeah, granted it was something like three in the afternoon but he worked almost exactly the opposite times of the day...
Maybe it was the mailman?
"'M comin'!" he called out, yawning and stretching before making his way to the door. He'd collapsed on the couch... at least he hadn't still been fully dressed, the wrinkles would have been hell to get out of clothes. Bare torso'd, Jamie opened up the door, yawning. "H'llo?" He greeted, eyes shut tight with the yawn.

As per usual, Kaji found himself scrambling for an intelligent response. Planning out conversations beforehand was really something he needed to start considering. "Er, um... hey," he managed to reply. His voice was low and somewhat quiet.

Jamie's eyes snapped comically wide open as he jerked fully awake, slamming the door fully open as he did on reflex. His arm stretched out! The door had just been in the way! "Kaji!" He cheered loudly, pulling the other redhead into a big, albeit quick, hug. He knew the other ookami's dislike of touch, but he couldn't quite help himself. "No standin' out there now," he admonished, moving to usher the younger man inside. "C'mon in! Sorry it's a mess, but, ah... It kind of always is..."

Kaji shrugged as Jamie herded him into the apartment. "It's not like my place is any better." He did manage to disguise the mess a bit by piling all the undone laundry in various corners, but he was by no means a neat person.

"Yeah, well," Jamie said, shutting the door with his foot so he could keep his eyes on Kaji. "You hide it better. And you're a college kid so no one expects much in the way of house cleanliness. I am an adult proper, it's expected." And he failed that expectation every time. No one was surprised.
Still! Kaji was here today! He had no idea why he'd come but he was so very happy to see him there. "What brings you?" He asked, clearing some papers off of the couch to give the younger Ookami a place to sit.

"Um..." Kaji's brain fumbled for an excuse. Just tell him you you wanted to see him! Is that so hard? "I just... sort of felt like it, I guess." Well... it was close.

Jamie blinked for a second. "Wh..." It was another second before the response seemed to process fully. "Really?" He sounded a little dumbfounded. It wasn't because he didn't think Kaji would do something like that if he liked someone, it was just... well...
Jamie was well aware that he was annoying and grated on nerves and talked way too much and way too loudly. It was half the reason most of his relationships that weren't flings got ruined. He hadn't really expected to be sought out for no reason.

"Yes, really," Kaji scoffed. "Don't let it go to your head or anything." He glanced over at the Irishman, only to immediately retract his gaze. For some reason he was finding being sincerely sassy to be rather difficult. There was this strange feeling deep in the core of his gut, that was telling him to say something specific... he just didn't know what it was.

Jamie blinked a bit more before smiling. "Right! A'Course!" He cheered, flopping down onto the couch with his legs dangling over the arm of it to make sure that Kaji actually had some room while he sat. He'd love to have his head in the other Ookami's lap and just go right back to sleep, but he'd promised himself that he wouldn't do a damn thing until Kaji gave the OK for it.
He didn't want to scare the other redhead off, after all. "Sit." He tapped the cushion just above where his head was lying.

Kaji fell onto the empty spot on the couch. He glanced around the apartment for a moment before noticing a very familiar ball of fur. "Ah, there you are Ellie. I was wondering where you were hiding." The cat looked over at the two redheads before returning to whatever is was she had been doing before. Kaji had to admit, he was a little offended at being snubbed by a cat. Had the gluttonous little furball already forgotten who had secretly fed her for over a month? "Well. I see how it is." The Ookami crossed his arms with a scowl.

Jamie just chuckled and yawned. "Don't mind her," he drawled out. "She's used to bein' the Queen of the apartment while I'm out." Thankfully Ellie was still a sweetie as long as she was fed, and Jamie was doubly thankful that he had enough money to feed her. He would hate to have an angry cat, or worse, a starved one. He was taking care of her for Kaji, after all. "She uses the place more'n me some days," he laughed out.

Kaji chuckled softly. "Sounds like you're spoiling her a little." He watched Elliot march off with a small smirk. After a minute it faded, and the Ookami once again was forced to realize how terrible he was at moving forward a conversation. He paused to think for a moment, only to give up entirely. "Sorry. I still suck at small talk."

"And I'm still not worried about it," Jamie replied smoothly, moving to rest his head up on Kaji's lap. "Just tell me to move if you're uncomfortable, you look comfy and I'm a little tired." He kept his head facing out to the room rather than towards his companion's crotch... He'd rather it the other way around really, if they could do it he could at least do that much to keep Kaji from figuring it was a waste of time. He was good at that.

"Okay." Kaji grew quiet. At this point it wasn't that he was out of things to say, but rather that he had too much on his mind and too few words to express them with. "Oh, um... I'm sorry I didn't actually invite you to the art show. I guess..." He paused mid-excuse and shifted his train of thought. "Anyway, I'm glad you were there. It helped keep my mind of things." It was something Jamie had a habit of doing in general, Kaji had noticed. Maybe the Irishman got under his skin, but it kept him from thinking about more serious things that had a tendency to do the same.
