I will start off by setting the scene and stuff, because you are an unorigional idiot. :D

 Raimundo was sitting solemnly, outside of the Temple. He stared quietly at the scenery, thinking about things he didn't have time to during the day. The faint hint of the sun could barely be seen as it set against the mountains in the distance.

 Raimundo lifted his head when he spotted Clay oming toward him. He flashed a glance to acknowlege (sp?) his pressence before sitting up and leaning back against the ground. 

 Raimundo nonchalantly folded his arms under his head and closed his eyes.

 "Nah, just chillin out here. Getting some alone time...yaknow." he said in a bored tone.

 Raimundo opened his eyes and glanced towards Clay.

 "Uh..you don't have to leave if you don't want to," he said simply before closing his eyes again. A little company never hurt anyone.

 There was a short haitus before Raimundo finally broke the awkward silence.

 "So uh...what are you doing out here, anyway?" He said, trying his best to spark up a conversation.

 "Well no wonder, there's absolutly nothing to do around here. Chores n' training and stuff take up a lot of the day, but a Shen Gong Wu hasn't activated in what seems like forever," Raimundo replied. "I seriously wish somthing interesting would happen!"

 Another awkward silence fell. Raimundo flashed a glance at Clay before sighing and closing his eyes again.

 "Aren't you talkative tonight..." he mumbled.

Raimundo tried to go back to his thoughts, but as hard as he tried, he couldn't seem to concentrate with Clay just sitting there. Somehow, his pressence just made him feel...awkward. Raimundo sat up.

 "It's...uh...getting dark. Maybe we should head inside," he said.

 Raimundo rose an eyebrow at the cowboy before standing up and dusting himself off.

"Uh..sooooo....I guess I'ma go....insiiide...."

It was strange, Raimundo had never acted this awkward around Clay before, the thought was very strange. He shrugged it off before turning to the direction of the temple.

(rosie says, "STOP BEING SO FREAKING LAZY AND MAKING ME DO ALL THE WORK!" to buffi)

 

Raimundo turned to head into the Temple with Clay, but instead of heading for his room, decided on visiting the kitchen to search for somthing to fill his stomache(sp?). He had begun feeling a little weird in his gut, and of course he figured food would aid his upset tummy.

(rosie loves the word tummy because it reminds her of kittens xD)

(Sleep Matt thingy? I think you mean fouton....xD)

Raimundo was in the middle of looking through the cabnets for a source of food. So far, he had found nothing that looked even close to being edible (aside from some fruit, but hey, who wakes up in the middle of the night and gets fruit for a snack?).

Clay's sudden voice caused Raimundo to jump slightly, making his head bang on the roof of the cabnet he had currently been rummaging through. He turned, rubbing his head.

"Uh...no, just doing some rearranging." he said sarcastically. He slowly got up, still rubbing his throbbing head.

"Not really." Rai gave a half-smile, the pain in his head subsiding.

"There's nothing to eat in this joint." he muttered.

Raimundo took a step towards Clay before pausing when he glanced at his his face. He averted his eyes quickly; for some odd reason his face started to heat up.

"It's uh...hot in here. I'm gonna open a window."

Although he had said he was going to open he window, Raimundo stopped after aking another step forward. Clay was only a foot or two away from him, and for some reason, he felt as if he couldn't bring himself to move to open the window.

Raimundo felt his eyes trace up to meet Clay's. He felt his backbone shiver.

He didn't know what on earth had caused him to take that first step, but he did. Subconciously, Raimundo had leaned forward and instinctivly kissed the taller boy.

After a beat, Raimundo pulled back. It took a moment to sink in what he had just done, but when it hit him, his eyes widened in shock. He opened his mouth to say somthing, but it seemed his throat had gone completely dry.

Raimundo made a motion to run after him, but stopped himself. Standing in the silence, he slapped him forhead and mumbled under his breath.

"...sh*t."

Raimundo hadn't slept a wink. He had gotten out of bed and dressed unusually early; he found himself restless and in need of moving around. He was hesitant about going to breakfast, and if it wasn't for the empty pit in his stomache, he wouldn't have gone at all.

Raimundo had finished eating quickly, trying his best to cut in the convrstaion long enough to excuse himself. Which was odd, considering he'd usually just walk off without saying anything. He tried his hardest to avoid Clay's eyes as he walked out of the room.

The problem was, even though he had gotten through training and meals and chores without coming in contact with the cowboy, Raimundo still had the rest of the day to get through. He decided there was only one place he could think of where he would be able to sit alone by himself....the roof.

Raimundo exhaled deeply and shot a glance in the direction of the water Dragon. Great. Like all he needed was a yellow globular head shaped asian kid bothering him with questions he didn't want to answer and butchered versions of commonly used phrases.

"Uh...nothing. Nothing's wrong, I'm just sitting away from everyone. By myself. All Alone-like and such." He muttered, knowing no matter how many hints he would drop it wasn't likely Omi would leave it at that.

Raimundo didn't bother trying to figure out what that one meant. He signed and rested his head on his palm.

"Just...been doin' some thinking recently." He was tempted to make acrack about how Omi couldn't possibly understand this sort of trouble due to his young age, but he decided against it.

"Reeeeeeally?" Omi inquired, then said with maddening superiority, "That is a change from the usual."  Looking genuinely curious, he persisted, "About what?"
