Sunday, 9/3, morning (Week six beginning)

[Ayumu isn't usually up this early, except for Mondays. But for once he hadn't slept well, and he's feeling tired and rash enough to sneak out before everyone else in his room awakens.

When he spots Mahiro in the halls, he follows him to the baths, eyes narrows and steps light. He waits until Mahiro enters the bath before following him in, still dressed.

There's a sharp look in his eyes Mahiro hasn't seen before.]

We need to talk.

[Man to man. Dude to Dude. Time to lay everything bare.]

Comments

[irrationalities]

[On one hand, he could keep prying about it. On the other, if Ayumu doesn't want to expose a vulnerability (since honestly, he's not even sure why some people even still trust each other) he can't deny that would be a logical reason to want to deflect.

So Mahiro just lets out a bit of an exasperated huff.]

If you don't wanna talk about it, just say so. Does Yuizaki know about this at least?

[godinsolitude]

Do you honestly think there's anything going on with me she doesn't know?

[Deadpan. Of course she knows, but he isn't going to tell Mahiro what's wrong. He's right on his money with the thinking-- It's too much of a risk to admit to having had these spells before.]

She probably knows the contents of my underwear drawer back home, I don't think I can hide anything from her.

[He's... deadly serious about that, actually. Be very glad she hasn't nosed around you more Mahiro, be very glad.]

[irrationalities]

You're the one who insisted you weren't going out with her.

[Which was blatantly lies because first name basis!!!]

She's that into you though, huh? I guess you're lucky to have her around.

[is he going to get into this again already--]

[godinsolitude]

I'm not. Did you miss the 'stalker' bit?

[They're awfully chummy for her being his stalker though???? What the hell Ayumu, are you that desperate--]

She's stubborn is what she is.... but I guess her reliability is a plus.

[Ayumu's an asshole, Hiyono's nosy, they're a match made in hell basically. He leans against the wall for a moment before shifting his head lightly. Still felt uncomfortable, but the dizziness was definitely lessening.]

I think the dizziness is subsiding now.

[irrationalities]

No. And I didn't miss the bit where you guys were suddenly on first-name basis too.

[Yes, what a time to bring that up when Ayumu is feeling dazed and Mahiro is standing there half-naked?? With that said he will walk closer to just check up on how Ayumu looks after that last bit. Hello, no personal space?!]

[godinsolitude]

[This is the most awkward possible setting for digging like this, you know that Mahiro? Ayumu glances up at him with mild irritation, taking a deep breath. He does look slightly less out of it, at least.]

It was overdue, that's all. Wouldn't you feel the need to right something like that considering last week?

[Which, you know, indicates plenty all on it's own, but hey.] Stalker or not, I owe her a lot. The least I can do is call her by name.
