new generation

Jaylen couldn’t help but over here the boy and his frustrations. Watching the scene a bit, and noticing how much work it looked to even carry said boxes, he knew he would regret his decision to approach the boy and ask, “Boy with an actual function brain here. How much are you paying them an hour? Usually if it’s a pretty high price, they could just simply be taking their time getting things together. Y’know, wanting to take up as many hours as possible for a higher pay. At least that’s just what I’ve noticed in people. Do you need any help?”

“Boy with an actual, functioning brain, you are welcome here.” Kyo wasted no time in throwing a nod of acknowledgement before once more turning his attention to the movers. “Yes, I’m paying by the hour, but there’s a time limit they need to be done by.” With a glance at his watch, Kyo grunted in disdain and shook his head, anger beginning to seep through. “However, it seems to me that they’re planning on taking up the maximum amount of time. Hell, it’ll be a miracle if they finish in the given time frame and I have places I need to be, people to see.” Kyo stomped his foot, an action resembling that of a twelve year old’s. “Honestly, help would be appreciated but I’m not sure what else can be done other than to just wait.”

“Oh, that would make everything better and more simple, wouldn’t it? But unfortunately, time is about the last thing I have on my hands, and the smallest amount of it, at that.” Kyo wasn’t going to explain his actions completely, for he knew what he was doing. A majority of the time, at least. ”I’m moving in and need it done as fast as possible. Or there’ll be other consequences threatening my well-being.” Late to his grandmother’s dinner party equated instant death and he wasn’t about to let that happen. “What’s it to you anyways?”

The entire situation was completely amusing to the brunette, despite the fact that if she were him, Mina would have reacted in the same manner. Perhaps plastered a polite smile on her face instead but the thoughts would be more or less the same. Resting her right hand on her hip, she gave a small smile to the male. “While I do have a functioning brain, I highly doubt it is gonna help much in this situation because you’re still stuck with these… well, imbeciles would probably be the right word for it.” Okay, maybe not so much of the facade today? It was an off day to say the least. “I suppose you pay them by hour? Cut the price. Their handy work costs more time than necessary, their fault. They’re supposed to be the experts but apparently they don’t know how to use the right sizes for boxes.”

Kyo cocked in eyebrow in surprise, slightly impressed with the fact that at least someone was agreeing with him. It was quite difficult to find a person who related to his mindset, a refreshing experience considering the fact that had his grandmother witnessed his actions, she would have probably bitten off his head. “Ah, but another functioning brain could bring ideas to the table, just as you did. So I guess the situation has finally received some help. Thanks.” Brushing his hair back, Kyo couldn’t contain the laughter that managed to escape through his lips. “Though I’m not sure if I want to push it that far. I have a heart, I swear.” His grandmother would beg to differ. Kyo glanced around, ensuring that the screeching, elderly lady was not in sight, before sticking out his hand. “Name’s Kyo, by the way. New to the neighborhood, obviously.”

When Isa noticed the giant moving truck, she slowed down as she passed the house it was parked at. It was never her intention to be nosy, but she couldn’t help but overhear the complaints of the young man outside. His comments took her by surprise, not expecting the intense level of sass. “Yikes,” she said as she neared the male. “Can you maybe chill? They— oh my god. You…” her eyes widened and she put her dog’s leash behind her back. “You’re that dude…” she stated, not knowing if he remembered her face.

“Unwanted suggestion, but I guess I’ll take it.” The words slipped out of Kyo’s mouth instantaneously without filter, not truly caring about any impact his words could possibly have. “That and the fact that it’s actually quite windy out, I’m absolutely taking a pass,” he couldn’t help obnoxiously adding the last statement. Finally peeling his eyes away from the movers that weren’t exactly hard at work, Kyo faced the girl that had recently arrived on the scene. “...That dude? Great way to greet someone, really.” As he continued to stare, his expression began slowly changing, an eye twitch making its way onto his face. “Holy hell.”

 “Kang Raekyo. Calm down. It’s not the end of the world. You’ll figure this out, okay? I’d help you, but I don’t have an actual functioning brain. You’re a piece of poop, I don’t know how I deal with you. The first thing you do when you come back is complain? You don’t even call telling me that you’re here? Rude. I see how it is.”

Upon hearing the endearing, familiar voice, a smile managed to find its way across Kyo’s face. Not many people were able to accomplish such a feat, making Kyo grin, but Lily was and had definitely been on that list for quite a while. “In my defense, I wasn’t even aware of the fact I was coming back until, like, five days ago? Plus, you have an actual functioning brain, so shut up about that,” he stated with a smirk. “Piece of poop? Wow, I’m hurt. What a way to great your best friend.”
