1x1 Grumpy Begginings

[rubyrocketboots13]

Haru contentedly snuggled into Clair, kissing the top of her head. " I can't help but be cuddly around you, babydoll. You are just too adorable for this world~" He teased playfully, pressing an impish kiss to her bottom lip.

" Yeah! You can see it if you want," Tak said cheerily, giving her a sunny smile. He rolled up one of his pants legs a bit to reveal a long, jagged scar running from his ankle all the way up to his mid thigh. The scar almost looked like a lightning strike in the way that it branched out and wrapped around half of his leg. It had obviously been a painful wound, but thanks to Clair it didn't hurt anymore.

(( XD Iol Idk If I'd be any good at carnival games. I have zero aim! ))
" Ooh! Thank you, Lovey" Kira said excitedly, holding onto the rings he gave her. Carefully, she tried her best to toss each of the rings onto the bottles, though she only managed to get three of them on there.

" Fine... I'll let you in on what I know. That Collins guy, he is going to pay me a nice sized bonus for getting you specifically to pull this scam. I'm not sure why, but it seems like he wants to get on your goodside." Julian explained, talking more freely as Robin shoved her gun against his side roughly. " Easy with that, babe!" He protested, getting a dirty look from Robin. " Anyway, like I was saying, Collins wants you for some reason. Word on the street is that Collins is looking to strike some kind of deal with you. "

Robin frowned a bit as Julian spoke, still thinking over the deal unil Matt mentioned that he would help out. " I suppose you're right. It would give you a chance to show what you've got. And it'll be fun to pull a good scam again." Robin said thoughtfully, lowering her guard a bit and leaning into Matt's hold. " Alright, I'm in. Explain your big plan, Jules."

Clair did melt a little but was curious of his behavior yet let it go from his words. "You always say that" she said gently and smiled from the kiss, returning it gently and sweetly. Rating lovingly as well. "If I don't belong in this world, then you will have to come with me to my world. I think you'd like it. But there are many conditions to such a thing. First being death" she sighed softly.

Honey looked at it curiously and smiled. She moved and knelt down after making sure he was seated to get a better look at the scar. She traced it slowly before an idea came from her and even though she couldn't really paint she grabbed a brush, took some paint and dipped the brush in it and trailed the paint along his skin, along the scar and did little flowers.

((They are honestly really hard XD))
"Hey that's not too bad! That's better than nothing. Doesn't quite get you the panda but it gets you a bead necklace" he pointed out slowly and with a lopsided smile.

Matt listened and was wary feeling of this Collins guy but bit his tongue on that part and instead looked over Julian as he spoke. Holding Robin firmly and comfortably against him, a little warning huff of course from him calling her babe was all that was heard during his conversation. It was after that Matt looked at Robin and placed a quick peck to her lips. "Thanks flower" he hummed quietly and turned his focus on the man with the plan. Heh. Poetic.

[rubyrocketboots13]

" I know, but it's true~" Haru chuckled warmly, his dark green eyes still sparkling like mad," You're more beautiful than any other girl I've ever met." With a soft smile, he kissed her on the lips sweetly before meeting her lovely blue-eyed gaze. " Darling, I promise I'd go anywhere with you."

Tak couldn't help but smile as Honey began painting flowers along the scar on his leg. It tickled a good bit, but he did his best to sit still for her. " Hey! That's looking pretty good!" Tak complimented her honestly.

Kira obviously wanted the stuffed bear, but she didn't seem too upset about not getting it. " Yeah! The necklace is nice too! I could always add to my collection" She giggled, unable to resist kissing the corner of Jay's mouth as he grinned at her crookedly," Hmm.. I think a lavender one would be pretty." Kira declared happily, picking one out.

Robin couldn't help but be momentarily distracted as Matt leaned down and kissed her. With a warm smile, she kissed him back before noticing how her scarlet colored lipstick had gotten all over Matt's lips and face. " Lover... I think you have something there" Robin said amusedly, holstering her gun and very gently wiping at the lipstick stain on Matt's cheek.

Julian almost looked as if he were just a bit jealous of how Robin treated Matt so sweetly and caringly. Though, he was doing his best not to show it. " Yes, my plan is simple." He said, straightening his tie," Robin, remember that scam we pulled Las Vegas in the summer of '62? The rich widow scam?" He hummed, flashing a cheeky smile at Robin, " I was thinking we could do something similar."

[SpotSong]

"I sadly don't believe what you say but thank you Haru" she said, returning the soft smile with one of her own. Her eyes looking over him ever so slightly before returning his kiss and ending up staring at him afterwards. "I know you would, but I don't want you dying yet...I don't want you leaving this world for a while. It would be rather selfish of me to want something like that." Clair told him seriously.

Honey was focused enough to stick her tongue out the whole time in concentration. "Really? You think so? Its a bit messy but you keep moving!" she hummed in pure amusement as she finished up the little messy painting but beamed up at him. "Don't worry! I wont quit my day job" Honey told him with a smile and a tilt of her head.

Jay did notice how much she wanted the bear and hesitated. He didn't want to show off or whatver so soon into the night but he was contemplating it until she kissed the side of his lips, his cheeks going to a light pink. "That would be rather pretty. I think I have to try" he said and put the necklace around her neck after getting handed it by the guy who owned the stand. He handed him more money and then began to move into a position that was a bit awkward for his size but it was effective as he began to throw the rings.

Matt seemed clueless at the lipstick until she pointed it out and his cheeks went red, not just from her wiping off the red toned lipstick. "Ah of course I do" he whispered and kept an eye on Julian the whole time in a trust questioning way. "Your plan. blah blah if only you could spit it out" he sighed lightly. "And what scam in las vegas? '62? ah?" he paused in a bit of confusion and looked from Julian to Robin but closed his mouth from asking more questions.

[rubyrocketboots13]

Very gently, Haru cupped his hand to Clair's cheek and softly ran his thumb across her cheekbone. " To be honest... it's pretty tempting to leave this world for yours. Besides, the kids need us. Who else is gonna make sure Tak has clean underwear? An who else is gonna remind Kira to put on shoes before she leaves the house? Who's gonna feed Jay now that he has an appetite? And now that we are going to have a baby, who's gonna change diapers and warm bottles at 3 am?" Haru said playfully, a merry sparkle lighting up his eyes.

Tak couldn't help but smile as he watched how Honey painted on his leg. It was just so cute to watch her concentrating so hard. "Yeah! It looks really great!" He chuckled warmly, trying not to squirm, " I'm sorry I can't sit still, but it tickles!"

Kira bounced on her toes excitedly as she watched Jay begin to toss his rings onto the bottles. " Ooh! Lovey, you're doing so good!" She said, happily cheering him on.

Julian wrinkled his nose at Matt in distaste, looking quite jealous at how Robin treated the handsome young man. " I don't have to explain my plan to you, houseboy" He said with a dismissive wave, " In fact, you shouldn't even be here. You're only going to get yourself or someone else killed."

Robin's eye twitched angrily and her expression darkened to a scowl as Julian spoke so rudely to Matt. In two steps she crossed the living room, grabbing the blonde-haired man by the collar. " Don't you dare speak to Matt like that again.", Robin hissed, her voice cold enough to freeze steel as she yanked Julian down so that their faces were just an inch apart. " Houseboy, my a**. Matt works for me you bloody idiot. Honestly, your stupidity is going to get you killed before sundown!" Julian paled as he realized that he had crossed a line with Robin by disrespecting Matt. Fearfully, the young man shook as Robin cursed at him rather rudely before releasing him from her grasp. " Now, I've had just about enough of your stupidity and sass. Tell us your plan or sit down and shut up." Robin huffed, rubbing her eye to try to stop it from twitching.

Clair had her eyelashes flutter from his gentle touch and leaned into it as he spoke. "You are very right" she said softly and smiled fondly to him. "I hope everything is alright for you Haru. I really do. This life. This baby. I hope all goes well for you, you deserve this life and then some" she murmured.

Her hand moved away when she was finished and she looked to him with bright eyes. "It's good enough" she said and moved up and pained two stripes on his cheeks gently and fondly.

Jay cracked a warm smile at Akira. "Only for you" he said and kissed her head and tossed the last two rings and won. Looking to the guy who sighed heavily and waited for Akiras request of stuffed animal.

Matt blinked at the words sprouting from Julian and he stayed still and quiet. Well until Robin went after Julian and he sighed. "Robin calm down. He's not wrong. Though I don't quite get what houseboy is supposed to mean but I could very well get someone killed or myself. He isn't wrong. Let him alone, he's merely jealous and it's okay." he told her calmly and moved over to her and gently caressed her back.

[rubyrocketboots13]

" Babydoll, all I want in this life is for you to be safe and happy here with me." Haru murmured, kissing her forehead, " I know I'll be happy so long as I have you by my side. Just waking up to see your beautiful smile is all I'll ever need." Very gently, Haru brushed a lock of long blonde hair behind Clair's ear before kissing her on the lips sweetly.

Tak smiled at Honey with his familiar sunny grin, letting her paint his cheeks. " Hey, I kinda look like a warrior now, eh?" He joked, flexing his almost nonexistent muscles. Like his sister, Tak was quite thin and didn't have a lot of muscle- he obviously didn't have a buff warrior's build.

Kira watched excitedly as Jay tossed the last ring and she practically squealed as he made it. " Lovey!! That. Was. Amazing!!!" She giggled, wrapping her arms around him, then kissing him right on the lips. "You're the best, Lovey!" She declared happily before pointing out the stuffed koala bear she wanted, " Ooh~! Can we get that one, please?"

Robin fell quiet as Matt spoke calmly, her firey gaze beginning to soften a bit. The young woman sighed softly, leaning into Matt as he gently caressed her back. " I suppose you're right.. I shouldn't have lashed out like that. I'm sorry, Lover, I don't know what's gotten into me. " She said quietly, squeezing her eyes shut and pinching the bridge of her nose as if she had a headache.

Julian remained quiet, still looking shaken up from his second near death experience. "My apologies, Matt. " He said before clearing his throat. " As for my plan, I suggest that we pull a very simple scam to get the money from the foreign agent. From the information I've gathered, the agent likes to gamble occasionally, so that makes it easy for us. We get him good and drunk, then Robin can challenge him to a game of cards or something. She can 'alter the odds' a little and will win big bucks easily. If everything goes smoothly, we'll be rolling in cash before tomorrow night." He said thoughtfully, " And if it doesn't go smoothly, then we try the backup plan. Robin drugs the agent's drink, then when he's out cold, we kidnap him. He gives us the money or his people give us ransom money for his release. Just like that job we pulled in Monte Carlo back in '79 when we kidnapped that prince." Julian shrugged, sitting back on the couch.

Clair melted as she listened to his words and bit her lip lightly. "Flirt" she murmured lightly but smiled, her cheeks a ripe red from his simple gesture of brushing hair from her face. Returning the kiss sweetly and loving. Slowly pulling her lips away from his for a moment "You should finish getting ready so we can go and not be late" she whispered.

Honey raised a brow and laughed at his gesture. "Mhm. An Aztec warrior" she giggled and put the paintbrush down and put her hands to his cheeks to look at him. Not touching the wet paint but she pecked his lips lightly and pulled away to smile at him.

His cheeks flamed from her kissing his lips for some reason. It was the surprise kisses like that that melted his heart. Wrapped his arm around her snuggly and the guy gave her the koala and just nodded a bit.

Matt looked over Robin carefully and dipped his head sort of respectfully towards Julian. A look of sympathy on his face as he wasn't sure the relationship of all such beings with Robin. He really was nothing in this world other than handy with a gun. "Sounds like you've done a lot Robin." he said slowly and with a little glint in his eye as if to suggest a deeper meaning to his statement. But added nothing and felt more like a concubine in a reverse harem since Julian's comment. It was weird but in his head, especially when he was called lover. He was hesitant.

[rubyrocketboots13]

“ I thought you loved my flirting, Clair-bear~?” Haru teased playfully, stealing one last gentle kiss before pulling away just a bit. “ Okay, pumpkin~ I’ll finish up my scruff” He said, smiling at her with a deep fondness in his eyes. Clair was just so overwhelmingly beautiful to him that he found himself smiling at her with a dorky little lovesick grin. For being a “ bad a** biker dude”, he always seemed to melt whenever he was around his precious Clair.

“ I’m a fierce and mighty Aztec warrior!” Tak declared in his best deep, heroic voice as he flexed his muscles- before falling into a fit of laughter. His bright green eyes sparkling like mad, the freckle-faced teen couldn’t help but smile into the little kiss. Tak pulled away from the gentle kiss, his cheeks flushing just a tiny bit pink. “ Want me to do you now?” He asked, beaming over at Honey, “ I can paint whatever you want!”

Kira looked more excited than a child on Christmas morning as she was handed the koala bear. “ Aww~ Look how cute he is!!” She cooed happily, beaming up at Jay with a delighted sparkle in her eyes, “ Lovey. you were amazing!” With a bubbly giggle, Kira stood on her toes to kiss Jay sweetly on the lips again.

Robin tensed slightly as Matt spoke slowly, her gaze darting away from him. “ I suppose I have done a lot” She said, her tone strangely just a bit apathetic. Robin had, without a doubt, lived a very exciting (and pretty dangerous) life. She had been around for a long time and had spent the majority of her life pulling elaborate heists, running from the law and building her underground empire. But, recently the young woman had been having a few doubts about her line of work. Was it really that ‘bad’ to pull scams and such? Robin certainly wasn’t evil, yet she wasn’t exactly a perfect angel either. She was relentless and wouldn’t hesitate to kill to protect the people she cared about, though she was strangely soft and empathetic as well. It was all so confusing that Robin silently wished she could talk to Clair about it all. Instead, her thoughts were interrupted by Julian saying something about leaving soon.

“ So, if we want to pull off this job, we’d better hurry. The agent is supposed to be having dinner at the Bernardin at around six, so you probably want to get changed. Maybe we could catch him there?” Julian said, looking both Robin and Matt over. His gaze lingered a bit on Robin’s feminine curves for a moment, though he knew better than to stare too long though. Julian knew he was already treading on thin ice with Robin and he didn’t want to anger her anymore.

[SpotSong]

"Oh I love it. Trust me I love it a lot. You should know that" she said with a wink before nodding happily. "Thank you lovey. Maybe we can stop in and I can get an ultrasound at the clinic" she offered kindly and with a bright smile to him as she went back to leaning against the door post. "See how little baby is doing"

Honey laughed warmly and in pure delight at him. "My Aztec warrior" she murmured happily and tilted her head slightly. "I'd love if you painted on me. You can do whatever yiu want wherever you want Tak. I've seen some cool art on Pinterest that people do on their legs, arms, stomachs and even backs! It's so cool" she hummed.

Jay looked at her excited frame and smiled like Tak and Haru would with their loves. So in love. "I'm glad you got what you wanted cupcake" he cooed and returned the kiss with a deep blush.

Matt nodded and just frowned slightly before moving his arm away to just get some space. "Yes let's get this one going then" he said slowly and looked at Robin for a long moment. "I am coming right?" he asked her specifically instead of bothering with Julian, he didn't have the energy for the dork at the moment.
