Unannounced Roommates

“Stop touching.”

“but…”

“No ‘buts’, put it back.”

“Blaaake…”

“Put.”

“It’s just so, so shiny,”

“It.”

“And round,”

“Down.”

“And it’s all colourful and shiny!”

“You’re not listening are you?”

“Did I already say shiny? I think I did, but that’s ok
because I mean look at it; it’s really shiny.”

“Logan…”

“Do you think he’ll let me keep some of these shinys?”

“Logan!”

“Although, he seems to be fond of them. Look at them all.
And they’re all in their own boxes to! Hmm well if he won’t let me have any of
his then maybe he can tell me where he found these…they’re just so shiny and
round and…”

“LOGAN!”

“Hmm, Blake did you say something?”

“Yes I think he’s coming around.”

“OH! Why didn’t you say so sooner?”

Benjamin could hear voices; maybe he’d left the TV on?
Whoever was on the TV seemed to be shouting about logging. Why would he be
watching a program about logging? Although clearly he’d fallen asleep in front
of the TV again so maybe it had come on after what he’d been watching
originally. Then again who was he to complain? Sweaty muscular lumberjacks…yes
please.

“I did tell you sooner but you where mesmerized by those
mirror discs.”

“Yeah but,” Logan proceeded to put the disc in Blake’s face
“shiny!”

Benjamin could hear skin smacking against skin and what
seemed to be the sound of a CD falling to the wooden floor. A small whine soon
followed.

“You’re so mean Blake.”

“Stop pouting and get your arse over there. Now.”

The brunette scrunched up his nose at the feel of something
tickling his face. He cracked open an eye to see a mass of green hovering above
him, “what the?”

“Rise and shine sleepy head!”

Groaning Benjamin realised that the circus had in fact come
to town and that he hadn’t been dreaming. “What do you mean ‘sleepy head’? It’s
your fault I was unconscious to begin with, sprouting a tail like a fucking
gecko.”

Blinking Logan replied, “I do not know of these Gehkoh. Are
they attractive? If they are like me then they must be. Maybe you can introduce
me to one so we can copulate? I tire of the five finger hand shake.”

The brunette smirked at the thought of the tailed man trying
to chat up a gecko, “hey, if you want to hump a gecko knock yourself out, but
don’t come crying to when you’re arrested for animal cruelty.”

“These Gehkoh are animals! And you dare compare me to one!
Blake the human just compared me to an animal, how can you sit there quietly
and not be offended?”

The blond pulled an irritated expression at the pink-eyed
mans complaining, “because I don’t care.”

While the serpent-man was lecturing the blond (who the
brunette assumed was Blake) about how great and non-animal like he was and how
he should be offended for him, Benjamin pondered how strange it was that he
wasn’t completely freaking out over the fact he had a man who had a tail
sitting in his house. “Maybe I’m still in shock.”

“Human…”

“My name is Benjamin, not human.” The Brunette supplied
Logan as he was roused from his thoughts.

“Right right, sorry. Ben, can I have this?”

Logan, having obviously gotten over being compared to an
animal was now holding a CD toward Benjamin.

“Oh, you like this band?”

The green haired man brought the disc closer to his face for
a more thorough inspection, “Band?” he asked, quite clearly puzzled, “the hole
is to small to be worn as a bracelet and the disc to wide to be a ring…”

Sighing Ben realised that the man had no idea what the CD
was, “No not that type of band. What I meant was a musical band. That disc is a
CD and when put into a CD player it, well it plays music.”

Noticing that Logan looked rather sad he asked “what’s the
matter now?”

“I though that these objects where some form of treasure,
and I was hoping you would give me one but if they hold another use then you’re
not likely to part with it.”

“And if it was treasure you think I’d just give you some?”

Logan, looking slightly put out started to circle a mug ring
with his index finger on the coffee table in front of him, “well I though maybe
I could trade with you…or… or something.”

Seeing that Logan had become quite attached to the CD, Ben
got up and walked over to his computer desk. He rifled through the draw until he
came across one of the blank discs that hadn’t worked. Slipping his middle
finger into the hole in the centre he walked back over to the disheartened man.
“Here you can have this one instead; it’s faulty so I have no use for it.”

The smile that lit up Logan’s face was child like in its
shear joy, “Really I can have it? Ben you are the best human I’ve ever met.”

The blond snorted beside them, “He’s the only human you’ve
ever met.”

Benjamin was thoroughly confused, “I thought you were a
human to? Your not a… um…urm Logan what exactly are you?”

Logan who had been busy watching the light reflecting off
the disc and onto the wall looked up, “I’m a Naga but Blake isn’t.”

“Well if he’s not human and he’s not a naga, what is he?”

“..fuh.”

Ben looked over toward Blake when me mumbled something,
“Pardon what did you say?”

“I’m an Elf.”

The brunette gave both of them a wide eyed look, “Well fuck
me sideways, I have a Naga and an Elf in my home. The circus didn’t just come
to town, it would seem they set up base in my sitting room.”
