Because of you(RN only rated M for yaoi content!)

Ryota burst out laughing at the question, not even wanting to know the answer. Tobi, having sex, was not something his brain could wrap around. He was too immature, for one, as well as unappealing in every way, in his opinion at least. "No way. No way in hell. Tobi acts like he's seven. There's no way he's had sex unless he's been raped" he said, still laughing. That was one thing he didn't ever want to see, but he couldn't help but laugh at the strangeness of it.

"I don't think anyone would even want to rape him," Sora said. "No one can see what he looks like, and he does act seven. He acts younger than his shoe size." Act your age, not your shoe size if what everyone said, but Tobi acted younger than whatever his shoe size was. Ryota could act like his shoe size and his age, at least he had that going for him. He had thought Ryota to be annoying like Tobi, but now he didn't even find him annoying.

Ryota nodded, thinking about it. "Good point" he agreed, grinning. "At least I can act my age somtimes. . . only sometimes though" he laughed, having no problem admitting that. He knew it was true. He had fun annoying the other members, and he had liked to piss off Sora, but not anymore. "Maybe he got raped and that's why he's like that, acting like he's too young and covering his face so nobody can see what he looks like" he suggested, snickering.

"His whole body's covered. He's got the Akatsuki robe on, but under that he's got these really heavy black clothes and a scarf sometimes, and then he's got the really long pants and the shoes and junk. You can't see any of his skin. Oh, but his hair, the hair if visible," Sora said, listing off the few things he could tell form Tobi's appearance. He was odd, and Sora wondered how in the heck he didn't overheat in that. That would be difficult just to be so energetic if the outfit made him hot at all.

Ryota snickered and nodded. "He's obviously had a traumatic past, if he hides his identity like that, and then acts like he's seven" he said, grinning. Really, if he ever saw Tobi do something that was even slightly mature, like swear, or kiss someone, or flirt, or have sex or SOMETHING, he would be confused, laugh, and probably be scarred for life. Confused is the biggest one there though.

"Hmm, PTSD or something similar, maybe?" he suggested, trying to think of other things. "A phobia of some sort, even?" The list wasn't long, but it could be twice as long as the list Sora had right now. He was trying to think of more things it could be, even if they were just messing around with what had happened to Tobi in the past. "I doubt it would be something like OCD, with germs or outsider's touch, but you never know."

Ryota stared blankly at Sora when he spoke. "Umm. . . P-STD?" he asked, messing up the letters unintentionally, not knowing what it meant anyways. OCD he understodd, and he doubted it as well, but it was a possibility. Not a very high one, but one all the same. You never know though. He could have some foreign disease. Or amnesia or something.

"PSTD, Post Traumatic Disorder Syndrome," Sora explained for him. "Occurs after an event of trauma, obviously, and basically the affected person can't get over what happened, they constantly think it'll happen again." Sora thought about it, thinking if there was anything more to add. "Actually, maybe that sounds a little unlike his behavior now, if that's what had happened. Something more like...I dunno, just a regular old phobia."

"Oooooh" Ryota said, dragging out the word. "I get it now" he grinned, feeling smart, even though he had to have it told to him. "That makes sense. Like I said, he's been raped, so now he covers himself completely so nobody knows if he's good looking, which I doubt anyways, and then he acts like he's seven to show how immature he is so nobody even conciders him appealing" he laughed. It made sense, sort of. "Phobia works too, but phobia of what?" he asked, tilting his head to the side slightly.

"Phobia of being exposed, phobia of sex? Molestation? Who knows, it's Tobi and anything that doesn't scare us would scare him, and same thing around," he said, shrugging. Tobi was Tobi and no one could figure him out, end of story basically. Or rather, what story? Tobi didn't have a story as far as they knew, so there hadn't been a story to start with. Just some made up junk of theories and all.

"Ugh, phobia of sex would SUCK!" Ryota exclaimed, wrinkling his nose. He wouldn't be able to live with that. "It would make sense, but I would die if I had that" he said, laughing slightly. "That's probably why he's always telling me that I'm too young to have sex. . . he's scared of it!" he laughed harder now, not knowing how they had gotten on the topic, but it was funny.

"Could be," Sora agreed, nodding. Could also just be him watching out for his Sempai's kid. But that was annoying. Touching, yes, kind of. But it was so much more annoying and bothersome than it was touching, therefore it ruled touching out of the picture before the chance to really feel it could happen.

"Stupid Tobi. . . how'd we start talking about this anyways?" Ryota asked, raising an eyebrow. He had slowed his laughter to a stop, and he was now bored of talking about Tobi. There was hardly anything to talk about except theories of why he was so stupid, which wasn't much. He stretched in his chair and let out a yawn, awake now surprisingly.

"Who knows, but we can get in some of the stupidest conversations and link something else just as stupid and go on about that," Sora said, since it was really true. "I think we started off this whole thing with not wanting to do chores, what would happen if we didn't, Tobi following us along, stopping us from doing stuff, then about Tobi and his fears, and Tobi's issues with sex. Wow."

Ryota laughed at this, nodding. "Good point. That's deffinitly an. . . interesting conversation" he said, recalling what they had just talked about. Their conversations were normally pretty random, especially when they had nothing to talk about. "I wonder what Tobi would think if he heard us" he snickered a few times, grinning.

"Tobi might not know what to think if he'd heard this," Sora replied, since if it were him he wouldn't know what to think. But he wasn't Tobi, so he didn't think people would talk about him with these sorts of conversations. He didn't know how they'd talk about him, and he kind of hoped he wouldn't figure out.

"You're right, he probably wouldn't" Ryota grinned, running a hand through his messy hair. "I know what people say about me, for the most part, and I don't really care, but for him, who knows" he shrugged, laughing lightly. Tobi really was a fool in his opinion. Really, how could he be like that at his age? He didn't even know how old the idiot was, but he knew it was old.

((Waah! I feel so guilty! We were gonna get our tests back in Geometry and she said a lot of us didn't do so well, and I just know she was talking to me, so when the bell rang I ran out instead of grabbing it! I'm terrified XO))

"You just wave it away, or just like what they say, if you're loud or an idiot or something," Sora said, since it was something he used to do before they'd come to be lovers. It would always agitate him to no end when Ryota would just smile and laugh when insulted because he was used to it, it didn't bother him, and he thought it was funny anyway. That had gotten him frustrated that hardly anything could penetrate his shield to get him mad. Only comments about his art and junk.

((>.< poor buddy. blame friday the 13th! even if u didnt write the test then! im sure u didnt do too bad anyways. . . possibly >.>))

"Pretty much. There's nothing else to do except throw a fit and get all offended, which is stupid, unless you're under eight years old" Ryota said, laughing. The only things that really affected him were comments about his art, or him looking like a girl. Nothing else really offended him anymore. It took alot to piss him off with just words. Although he would probably get mad if he heard anyone insulting Sora.

((Nah, nah, I really could have bombed it again! Waaaaaaah))

"Yeah, I guess really if you're insulted then you fight back. Instead of crying over it and complaining, you show them you're not and that you could probably kick them around twice as much as they think they can kick you around," Sora said, since it had only happened a couple times in his travels that he'd had to show people he could mop the floor with them when they had believed way otherwise. "It's always fun to see the look on their face when they're wrong."

((>.< poor buddy))

Ryota nodded in agreement, evn though he'd never really been able to prove people were wrong, because they normally weren't except for the things that pissed him off. He proved they were wrong about his art, but about him looking like girl, he wasn't going to flash them or something. "I don't evn bother with that most of the time. . . seeing as I can't" he said with a laugh, though he could imagine it easily.

"I guess," Sora said, shrugging. "Ah, but don't worry about it. Most of the time the insults are already known and true so you'd accept it anyway." He knew a couple things he wouldn't accept and would fight back at, which had been the things he picked at most when they hadn't hooked up, so he knew from experience what to use and not to use.

Ryota grinned, running a hand thorugh his messy hair. "I don't worry about that. There's not much that I worry about anymore" he said with a laugh. The only thing he worried about anymore was Sora, even knowing that his lover could deffinitly take care of himself. "It's sad that Hidan still calls me an idiot and expects me to be offended. I take it as a compliment" he grinned wider.

"Loads of people call you an idiot and wish you'd be offended, but they've yet to accept that it doesn't bother you," Sora said, rather proud that his Ryota didn't care and could take just about anything when it came to this. Sora might snap at someone or challenge them to prove them wrong, but Ryota just accepted it and ignored them. They were opposites in some ways and similar in others. It was funny sometimes, he thought.

Ryota nodded in agreement, stretching his back slightly. "Yup. It really doesn't bother me to be an idiot. It's fun" he said, grinning, which pretty much just proved his point even more. He was an idiot, and everyone knew it, and he didn't give a damn. Sora cared more than he did if he was insulted.
