Luke's Diner; Sunday [ 12/16 ]

Yes, there was still yellow on A.J.'s cheek. It had nothing to do with the stubbornness of paint, though; mostly, it was because he had simply slept in a little too late today and didn't have the time to try to get a good deal of it off properly before he had to leave for work. He'd gotten most of it; just not all.

Maybe no one will notice.

Rainbows over Everything.

Luke's is open!

Because that's what he's there for.

Because you can!

It's too damn early for people singing songs about clemintines.

Yes, i realize it's past noon. It's always too early for people singing songs about fruit.

Late afternoon, Johnny came in wanting a burger and fries. Quirking a brow at A.J., he said, "Paint. On your cheek dude."

"Yeah, I know," A.J. said, the slightest hint of a wry grin on his face. "It's my new tattoo; what do you think?"

Johnny gave him a look. "Yellow?"

"What? Don't think it suits me?"

A.J. grinned a little. "Ino did it; last night. Got in a paint fight and I haven't been able to get it all off. But, if this is any indication, she's got herself a new hairstyle, so I can't complain over just this."

"Makes me think of mustard," Johnny grinned. "But then I am in a diner."

He laughed at A.J.'s explanation. "Been a while since I've been in any kind of paint fight. She's a feisty little thing; can't see her appreciating it. What'd you do?"

"Only what she should have one-hundred percent absolutely no-question-about-it seen coming," A.J. stated, straightening his shoulders confidently. "Blue paint, all over her face. And then I guess that wasn't enough for her, because that's when the yellow got on mine so I figured, hey. Ino has nice blue eyes. She should have blue hair to bring them out. And viola."

There was a slight pause, his grin turning a little apprehensive as his hands went into his pockets. "Yeah, I think I might try to avoid her for, oh, about an eternity or two after that."

Yeah, he was still laughing. "What I wouldn't give to see her now. Better just prepare yourself for her ranting and raving and stomping on in here sometime today. Paybacks can sure be a bitch."

Blue hair. Oh man.

"But paint fights? Totally awesome!"

"Couldn't possibly be worse than the tiff we got into the other night," A.J. said, biting his lip with a slightly wide-eyed expression, "but as long as it is just ranting and raving and stomping on, I'll be okay. Because Ino could probably kick my ass in two seconds straight. I still stand by the fact that she deserved it, though. And she knew it was coming, so she can't really be mad."

"She tried to kick my ass once," Johnny said proudly. "Couldn't quite match the fire if you know what I'm saying. And you two had a tiff? Ino's got a mouth on her, what'd you do to her?" Because Johnny just assumed it was usually always the guys fault.

"Annoyed her?" A.J. offered, with an air of annoyed uncertainty. "I don't know; it's complicated. She's mad at me about something that doesn't even involve her, but you know how girls can be sometimes...."

He really, really hoped Johnny did know, because, ugh, he really didn't want to get into this whole thing again.

"Yeah, I know how they can be so I get it," he said with a small twist of his lips. "So damn nosey sometimes it's freaking crazy."

"Exactly!" A.J. exhaled, relief flooding his voice as his hand went up, almost in exaltation. "Thank you! It's like they got to know about and be involved in every little thing and it's just...URG. Mind your own damn business, seriously."

"Sue counts. Totally. She's my sister and dude, it's like every freaking thing I do, say, or whatever, she has to know. Pisses me off." Johnny still had to call her today and wasn't looking forward to it. "Did you tell Ino it wasn't her business and to just leave you alone about it?"

"Uh-huh." A.J. nodded, pouting slightly now as he recalled up the process of the argument. "And that only pissed her off more."

Johnny gave A.J. a look and leaned his forearms on the counter. "Must've been a pretty bad argument."

"Man," A.J. shook his head, "you have no idea. I'm surprised my voice wasn't all hoarse the following day for how much we were yelling."

"You don't strike me as the yelling type," he said. "But then I haven't been paying attention to radio if anything was mentioned either. Things going okay with you?"

A.J.'s head bobbed in a nod, and he ran a hand up through his hair, dropping it again with a sigh. "Yeah, I will. We worked it out at the end, it's just frustrating that it even happened. And I'm usually not the yelling type, but, with some things, I just can't...help it, y'know? I'm an artist. I get too paaaaassionate about some things and then I just explode."

He raised his brows. It was totally obvious how bothered A.J. was and despite their previous out and out about the whole issue with Dick, Johnny wasn't liking seeing A.J. so upset. "What the hell did she do?"

Again, A.J.'s hands went into his pockets as he sighed, deflating slightly. "Just like we said: getting involved into things she shouldn't. I don't know; I guess I shouldn't let it bug me so much, but, dude, you've had to deal with me getting all pissy about that sort of thing before, too, so you know, it's just one of those things that irks me."

All right. Johnny wasn't the type to really involve himself unless it directly involved him. Dick was an exception being his fake bro and all that. He wasn't sure what Ino could have done unless... "Hey, you two dating or something?"

A.J. stared at Johnny for a second, as if making sure he heard that right before blinking and giving the other guy a look suggestion that he was a little crazy. "Me and Ino? You serious?"
