And Now It's "LET'S MAKE FUN OF LIMEY" Time!

Who: Surge, Nester
What: Goose's boyfriend meets Goose's best friend
When: Oct. 29, afternoon
Where: BE-40 AKA Nester's dorm
Rating: PG-13 for swearing

Surge had a good feeling about this Nester kid. Sure he came off as kind of arrogant and full of himself, but the lieutenant was fairly sure he was a bit egocentric at that age too. Though maybe the kid went a bit overboard on the whole bragging thing, Surge couldn't really tell. All he knew so far was that the kid liked playing video games and piloting.

Oh, and the whole make-up thing. Now THAT was hilarious. It seemed like the student respected Surge's creativity with the whole yukata thing as well. There was nothing that quite brought guys together like marveling over their own pranks. Even if it was at the expense of a particular boyfriend/best friend.

To be honest, Surge was a bit surprised Goose hadn't offered to come with him. But he supposed the pilot was busy doing whatever it was he normally did. Hopefully things would go much smoother without him. Not that he'd admit it to the other man, but sometimes Surge just needed a break from the pilot. Especially when he was acting stupid. Or ridiculously sensitive. Or--... Well, the list could go on. He loved Goose, but the lieutenant could only take so much of him.

It made him wonder why he suggested the living together thing. Oh wait. Because it made Goose happy. And when Goose was happy, Surge was happy. He may have been an overly emotional idiot, but he was Surge's overly emotional idiot.

And it was because of him that Surge now stood in front of BE-40. Nodding to himself, he quickly knocked on the door.

All Nester was doing before Surge had shown up was laying there on his bed, savoring the peace of his roommate not being around... as he blew his hair spikes up and down. He had no clue why, but he always had that damn HABIT of doing that whenever he laid down... Up and down, up and down...

Meanwhile, his mind was running on all kinds of things. What game was he gonna play ooooh no maybe he'd play some racing games yeah that sounded great he could totally play some stuff before Surge visited and--

WAIT WHAT SURGE? OH SHIT HE FORGOT. Nester FLEW out of the bed and looked down at himself. Pajamas.

... Heh, who cares?! He shrugged. Hey, it wasn't like he was leaving the house any time soon unless the two decided to hang out, well... OUTSIDE. But he honestly doubted it. He had it all right here! Plenty of games to play and have fun with! His birdman wings, parachute, hang glider, OH GOD PARACHUTE WHAT IF SURGE LIKED SKYDIVING?!

... nah, that would be too short noticed, wouldn't it? He'd bail on me! He frowned, crossing his arms over his chest and continuing to blow his hair spikes in thought... until he heard the knock on the door. Blinking, he headed over and flung it open, blinking at the sight of... this HUGE ASS LIEUTENANT IN CAMO standing there with OH GOD WAIT HIS HAIR LOOKED SO MUCH LIKE GOOSE'S LOL.

"... hey and holy crap your hair looks just like his but cut a few feet down." He sputtered out, tilting his head, still in awe at how freaking GIANT THIS MAN WAS.

... How ironic. "You know, the first thing Goose ever said to me was pretty much the same thing." Looking the boy up and down, he raised an eye at the pj's. Nice to know he got dressed up for company.

Entering the dorm, he looked around the room. It looked like the roommate was no where to be seen. At least that would give them a little bit of privacy if they started talking about more serious stuff. He doubted they would, but just in case. The room itself was somewhat messy, an average male teen's dorm.

Surge raised an eyebrow at the massive amounts of games and gaming systems on one side of the room. He knew the kid was into video games, but he didn't know he meant this much.

"So..." Oh goody, more awkward conversation. Just what the lieutenant liked to do best. "How do you like SBG so far?"

Really, now? This... half-wowed him and half didn't. I BET HE WAS DRUNK FOR IT--... well, naw, it's COCKATIEL. It'd go either way! He shrugged carelessly, shoving the thought away. "Doesn't surprise me!" His thoughts and quick reply made him not really notice Surge's expression over his pajamas.

As Surge made his way into the room, Nester plopped onto his bed, laying back a bit on it like he did earlier. Waiting for him to say something... waiiiiiiiiting...

Then when he finally heard the lieutenant's voice raise up, he lifted his head up and waved his hand. "Pfff, I like it, as always! I've been here before 2 years ago!" Boy, were those... err, SOMEWHAT fond memories. "I was here as a freshman back in the day! At least I'll say things are a BUNCH more exciting than they were back then..." Except for having Hedgetrimmer as a roommate.

"Oh really?" Surge sat down on the bed next to the kid. Might as well make himself somewhat at home. "Goose hadn't mentioned that."

The lieutenant probably would have known if he had bothered to read Nester's first few entries. He wasn't one for really paying attention to the random entries every student made. Hell, he even passed over some of the teachers' who he didn't know. But oh well, he knew now.

"So, why'd you come back?" The question he really wanted to ask was 'why did you leave?' but he didn't feel quite that comfortable with the kid just yet.

If Nester showed any sign of a smile, it had faded with this next question. There was really nothing wrong with coming BACK, but it was WHY he came back that made him a bit... eh.

"Pfff, you know Cockatiel! He whines and whines until he gets what he wants anyway!" He pouted for a moment... before blinking and softening his expression a little. "Well, uh, or... I failed sophomore class back in Holiday, so I needed a really top-notch school to get me on track again. That, and being around my best pal again feels like old times!" He shrugged. "And he kept trying to convince me anyways... so why not?"

A sly smirk then came back onto his face. "Besides, I can mess with him like I did when he visited! Like, uh... the make-up thing he told you about. But uh, better."

Ah, so Goose was the cause. Surge figured as much. The nagging part definitely sounded like the pilot. He really wasn't all that surprised to hear the student say so.

Smirking, he replied, "Yeah, I remember him mentioning that. But don't worry, he wasn't gettin' away scott free while you've been gone. I've been makin' sure about that."

"Actually, about that..." the lieutenant slyly took out some photos from his pocket. They were various pictures of when Goose and Surge went on that drunken shopping spree. ~~He had to hack a few cameras for those, but they were so worth it.~~ "You might enjoy some of these... artistic pieces."

Nester temporarily snickered for a minute, knowing that with a guy as big and rad as THIS? There was no way his BFF DIDN'T go through some kind of silly suffering. If only he could hear of more of the things Surge had done to him...

... and then he revealed some photos from his pocket. And immediately, the boy snatched them out of his hand with a, "HELL YEAH!" and looked at them...

And stared.

And stared.

And staaaaaared.

... and BUSTED OUT LAUGHING. "HOLY-- SO THIS IS WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON WHILE I'VE BEEN GONE?!" This was almost frightening to him... BFF-dumping level frightening, but it was just too good for him to laugh at him heartily than be disgusted by it. "YOU DID THIS TO HIM?! THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER."

That was just the reaction he was hoping for. The feeling was almost contagious. He grinned, "What a shame you don't have any photos too."

Reclining on the bed a little, Surge asked, "So, which one is your favorite? I'm a fan of the frilly pink one, personally." That was also because that outfit put the lieutenant in a particular mood, but that would've been a bit TMI for the kid.

"So, any other funny stories you have about Goose?"

"If I had them, I would've shown them to you for kicks!" Nester still couldn't resist a grin, even after he calmed down from all of the laughter.

"Gotta be the tight black one. BUT ALL OF THEM ARE JUST AS HILARIOUS," Oh man, the kid couldn't resist snarking over this. And Goose looked like he was enjoying it, too, but he was pretty damn sure he must have been drunk to start liking THAT.

"Uhh..." Nester tapped his chin and blinked, not really having any particularly INCREDIBLE ones. "I dunno! If I do, I can't remember them! Though any time he gets shitfaced is always fun." The memories he recalled were... simply astounding, so to speak.

... this made him remember one more thing that he had been meaning to ask... "Uh, so what, are you like Cockatiel's new best friend or something here?" He smirked to hint that he meant no ill-will towards that kind of thing, exactly... especially since this guy was HILARIOUSLY fun. "What, he's replacing me now? Pfft!"

"Aw, what a shame," the lieutenant smirked. He supposed he could tell the kid some other stories, but those were a bit personal. Nester may have been Goose's best friend, but surely they didn't tell each other everything.

Wait... what? Best friend? Surge just stared at Nester in disbelief. And stared. And stared some more. "... What? You mean... you don't know?"

Certainly Goose would have told the kid at least that much... right?

"Uh, wha-?" Nester tilted his head, pretty damn sure that Surge wasn't talking about best friend-y goodness. Then what COULD he have meant? "Don't know what? I know you've gotta be good friends, 'cause he talked about his 'super close friend' a whole lot, and I guess he was talking about you."

... Goose didn't tell him. They told the whole fucking school but the pilot didn't bother to tell the person who was supposedly his best friend? ... Oh yes, that reassured the lieutenant immensely.

"I'm his boyfriend."

... Damn, that still sounded weird to say.

...

And all Nester could do was stare at him with a face that pretty much said ".O.;".

Well, honestly, Nester thought that Goose might have gotten ~~laid~~ some kind of relationship of some sort while he was around... hell, he'd NEVER seen him so happy in ages that one day he called him before, and he kept on rambling about how 'someone made him very happy'.

... but a BOYFRIEND? Sure, he wasn't exactly homophobic, but he never would've imagined Goose being... being... into this.

"... uh..."

"Wow."

The kid was taking this pretty well. And by 'pretty well', Surge meant 'at least he's not screaming and kicking out of utter disgust.' That was a plus.

"I can understand if you're a bit overwhelmed. But I mean, c'mon..." he smirked, trying to lighten the mood. "Can you really say you're surprised about Goose bein' into dudes?"

The kid had seen Goose drunk before. That pretty much spoke for itself.

... oh, that did indeed. After a moment or two of thought, the young pilot shook his head.

"Now that I think about it, nah..." Or at least not REALLY... for Nester was still in a liiiiittle bit of shock over this. His best friend was dating a guy and this guy was a BIG BIG BIG MILITARY GUY who PROBABLY FORCED HIM TO CROSSDRES--

... no, actually, this wasn't so bad. "... 'Least he chose someone clever and with radical brains for a boyfriend!" He commented with a snicker, trying to shove the awkward feeling over the whole thing behind.

It was nice to know that Goose's best friend approved of them together. Surge could only imagine how hard it would've been for the pilot if Nester disapproved. Besides, he could get used to hanging out with the kid. Especially if it meant more teasing in Goose's direction.

"Ha ha, thanks," he chuckled. "You know... I think I'll let you in on a little secret."

Leaning over for dramatic affect, he continued in a hushed voice. "When I first met Goose, he was flat out drunk. I didn't even know the guy, but I knew an easy target when I saw it. So I did the little yukata trick. Worked like a charm." As he sat back, his voice returned to normal. "I had no idea it would lead to this. Is that crazy or what?"

Wow, how would THAT have ended up in... a relationship of ANY kind? Or even being friends? WHAT? It honestly confused the boy, but he thought asking how it even lead to that would sound like too much of a nagging personal question even for him... and Nester could be quite the experienced nagger at times. ~~He learned from the best.~~

... doesn't mean that didn't amuse him, though. "You didn't even KNOW him and you did that?!" The boy's eyes began to twinkle in an... odd 'fascination' of sorts. "I've gotta learn how to do stuff like that! That's the greatest thing!"

... especially when it was done to GOOSE of all people, but he didn't add that. Rather, he tacked on, "I have NO clue how he liked you after it, though. Wouldn't he have gotten, uh, really really mad?"

"Oh trust me, he did," Surge laughed. "Oh man, he was so pissed the next day! You should've seen his face!"

Still chuckling, he replied. "It's not really surprising that he warmed up to me, though. I offered him a few drinks, maybe promised to lay off the pranks, I can't really remember that part. But you know how he is with his booze. You buy some for him, and he's your best friend for the day."

His laughter died down a bit. He shrugged, "I guess we just hit it off after that. But even if he denies it, I'm pretty sure he finds some amusement in my tricks. Gotta learn how to laugh at yourself and all that."

Nester merely threw his hands behind his head and reclined a little more, just listening on as Surge told him his little tale. Oh, boy, did he know how Goose was with booze. Just give him one and he'd bend over backwards for--

...

Well, no wonder they hit it off so fast...

No, no, that was just a bunch of silly thoughts running through the kid's head. He was pretty sure Goose wasn't THAT crazy to the point that he'd run off with a guy just because he gave him booze. If that were the case, what, they would've hit it off within a few days, maybe?! What a laugh! Relationships that quickly started would never last, at least not in Nester's world!

Shoving the thought away, he responded with, "He never really learns to laugh at himself mostly! Heck, I remember one time..." Oooh, now he remembered some silly tales. "... at like... Halloween, I think! I remember I bought a bunch of fake blood that night and squirted it all over the place while he was on a mission! He freaked out like crazy when he came back and saw it! And then freaked out more when he realized it was all fake, and made me clean it up," He grinned at recalling the silly happening. "Those were good times! The look on his face was priceless!"

"Oh really?" Surge grinned. That did sound an awful lot like Goose. Overly sensitive and a worrywart? ... Yup, that pretty much summed up the pilot in a nutshell. "I can see 'im reactin' like that. He gets so worked up over nothing."

But speaking of Halloween... "Did you see the picture he posted a while ago of his costume for this year? It's so ridiculous!" It didn't help that they then joked about matching outfits. Like that would ever happen. Even if Surge hadn't been his non-festive self, it would be a cold day in hell if he ever wore something like what Goose suggested. He'd save that sort of thing for the pilot to wear. In private. Where it was just the two of them. Alone.

"Yea- wait, huh?" Nester blinked for a moment and tilted his head, his hair spikes drooping a little. His Halloween costume?... Hm... he knew last year, Goose conjured up a lousy ghost outfit ~~which pretty much was a sheet with sunglasses, a ton of hair, and a rocket belt underneath~~. What would he be doing NOW?

"Uhh, gimme a minute." The youth snatched his laptop from the other side of his bed and fired it up. Upon it loading up, he opened up his browser and tacked in the journal site, scrolling around and finding Goose's, and scanned through his entries...

... and thus, he came across... it.

... and the look on his face showed pure and utter ":|". "... that's... so..." He crinkled his nose up. "... messed up."

Surge scoffed, "Lame, I know. I tried tellin' him that, but he's so stoked about wearin' it. Heh, I just didn't have the heart to tell him he looked like an idiot. ... Well, even more of an idiot than normally."

Stretching his arms above his head, he figured he might as well make some small talk. Maybe try to get on the student's good side. Hah, like he wasn't already. "You dressin' up as anything, kid?" Considering how young Nester was, he wouldn't really be all that surprised.

Nester almost commented with 'dunno how it'd be possible for him to get worse than usual though', but Goose was definitely much more intelligent than a lot of people HE knew in his life. Sure, he made some very silly blunders at times, but that was because he was just an overall wonky guy... it didn't really come out of stupidity for the most part. With that, he just shook his head and muttered, "I guess, heh!"

Oh, man, his costume. Of course the kid was gonna bounce up to his feet on the bed over that ... actually, he quite literally did so. "You bet I am! I'm dressing up as CAPTAIN N this year!" He pumped his fist up in ... very overly dramatic determination. "I bet I'll have one of the best costumes out there! But I beeeet I can't beat cockatiel, noooope." He sarcastically tacked on. "But it'll be great!"

Despite Nester's seemingly contagious excitement, Surge just stared blankly as the kid answered. Captain N? Who the hell is that? The lieutenant racked his brain, trying to remember if he knew any Captain N. He could only assume from the type of kid Nester was, that it was some type of super hero, maybe? He couldn't even be sure about that.

"Oh, I see," he feigned understanding. "I'm sure it'll be an awesome costume." Grinning, he replied, "Ha ha, I don't think anyone can beat Goose about that."

He supposed he should have given Goose a bit more credit. No matter how lame it looked, the pilot's costume was a bit creative. Didn't he say it was from a TV show or something? Eh, it didn't really matter. All Surge knew was that it looked like a somewhat complex design. He had no idea how Goose got it in the first place. However he did, it must've taken some ingenuity.

"Neither do I! Heck, I should show you what I'd look like, now that I think about it!" Nester grinned widely before tacking in 'google.com' in the address bar. Clicking on the image search and typing in 'Captain N', he hit the enter button. Then... he zoomed in on one of the pictures.

"Okaaaaay, lessee..." He then copy/pasted it into Paint, and scribbled just a little...

... oh good lord.

... Oh yes, Surge was quite impressed by Nester's artistic skills. Or rather he planned to lie and say he was.

"... That's a pretty awesome costume. I'm sure you'll look kickass in it." The kid would buy that, right?

"So..." Time for Plan B: subtly changing the topic. "You stayed with Goose before you got a dorm, right? What'd you think about Hettie?" Surge was still concerned about Knuckle Joe's reaction with the spiderbird, but if this student liked the pet, then his worries would be somewhat smoothed out.

"Of course~" Nester replied slyly, knowing very well how... amazing his costume was. Oh, it would be the absolute best one in all of FDC.

The student certainly didn't expect the change in subject, but it was quite the topic he wasn't very fond of. Oh, how he hated that goddamn mutant bird thing. It was slightly cute, but he wasn't really for cutesy pets. Why wouldn't people like pets such as snakes or lizards?!

"... the mutant pigeon hated me," He crinkled his stub nose as he recalled the little bits of... cap thievery. "He... she... it kept stealing my hat! I think it liked it... a bit too much!"

Stealing articles of clothing? That didn't really sound like Hettie. "Maybe she was just being affectionate?" Unless she really did have a thing for hats. Huh, he'd have to look into that.

Surge was quickly losing things to talk about. He supposed he could mention classes or friends or something, but that might've been a bit awkward. After all, he had just physically met the kid a little while ago.

As he stood up, he shrugged. "Well, I'm outta things to say. Unless you have any questions for me, I think I may just head out. Got papers to grade and all that." Turning to Nester, he held out his hand, "It was good to finally meet you."

"I dunno, but I sure didn't like her..." Nester grumbled under his breath, not really pleased with that mutant baby he had to deal with. The cap theft... the biting... FDGFGHG.

But as Surge stood up and announced that he had to leave, he had to admit that part of him groaned inside. He was still bored and needed something more to do! But eh, he supposed teachers had important stuff to do... just as he did.

... Duke Nukem: Zero Hour.

Right there, right now.

HELLS YEAH.

With that, the boy bounced up and shook his head. "Cool meeting you then! Good luck with Cockatiel, and make sure he doesn't get himself TOO pretty!" He snickered before opening the door for him. "See you later, I guess!"
