"Neku, where are the bed sheets for the second mattress?"

"In the... wait." Neku stopped to think about the exact meaning of the words. "Why?" He poked his head back into his bedroom from his hallway as paused, seeing the ash-blonde in an accidental 'come here often?' pose on the spare bed, now in the middle of his floor.

"I am not painting you like one of my French girls if that's what you're asking." The teen has been described many times as a 'sassmaster' by Shiki and co. ,and it's probably a good way to describe it - he can be the sassiest of the sassy if he tries. "When did you even get here, anyway?"

"I am staying over." He states simply, as if he should have learnt this when he was three. Joshua smiles slightly, 'innocent'. Neku considers throwing him out the window right then and there. It's a fourth-floor apartment.

"...Go get them yourself." He sighs, not wanting to wage a Tin-Pin war with the Composer. Where the hell did he even get those ridiculously overpowered pins anyway? Oh yeah, he probably made them. "First door on the left, in the cupboard."

Joshua was gone for about 10 more minutes than he really should have been and it was with that he thought something must have been up. When he saw the ash-blonde standing in his laundry, the 'something up' was actually... childish. A big, really big, incredibly nasty looking and hairy spider just sat protectively on the bed sheets Josh had wanted.

"Don't tell me that's why-"

"I do not like creatures such as this one, Neku." The ginger was stunned for a minute, certainly supposed to be more frightened of the thing considering there may be more in his house, until he started cackling with laughter at Joshua's pouty seriousness.

"You're the freakin' Composer, can't you just Erase it?" Neku's a bit more scared of it now, all the spider's... eight eyes looking directly at him, slowly coming his way.

"Nope." The ash-blonde throws his hands up, shuffling backwards with seemingly unaffected and casual movements. "Not in the RG, dear." He actually could, though, and it was a game again really. A game to see if Neku would freak at a spider.

"...You wanted the sheets. Get rid of it?" He tilts the words into a question, smiling sheepishly, hoping he wouldn't have to touch it. He'd fought powerful Noise and everything but goddamn this spider for looking like the mafia leader of bugs.

"No," Joshua drags out the 'o'. "you. I insist." There's a smirk spread on his face. This was going to lead to a Knowledge that Only Joshua Knows Trivia battle if he didn't do something quick.

It took a few minutes before Neku found a big enough broom to poke it with and be at least 2 meters away from it at all times. He was going to simply conk it on the head but it was when the spider started speeding up the broom pole towards them that the two boys just dropped it, screaming, and that was what Joshua didn't expect. Neku wished he could still float off the floor via pins, because spider-Godfather seemingly wanted him dead, again.

"GET OUT." Joshua ordered to the bug after a few moments of panic, voice filled more poisonous substance than it could ever hope to match. To the ginger's absolute disbelief the spider seemed to understand and realize that crap, he's practically God, crawling out the open window as fast as students being told about free food at the canteen.

"You could do that the entire time?" Neku's expression is purely shock.

Joshua simply shrugged and pulled out the sheets, retreating back to the teen's room, leaving behind a pissed 15-year-old with a broken broom.


A/N: Now this is just silly. Sorry, I'll try to never write at 5 in the morning again. OTL
