Yo. Everyone.

[It was midday that he addressed the village as a whole, without any lead-in or hint of apology in his tone for being so goddamn casual.]

I'm lookin' for a friend of mine. He's got long hair and has a pet pig-- lemme know if you see him.

[Action]

[It was training, Souji had been insisting for the last few weeks when he set an enraged, squealing Saizou upon him without any warning. Speed training for a little game between the two of them that they both had a stake in. And, finally-- after many days of running from the grumpy little pig-- the game was on.

Cliff had 24 hours to catch Souji. Truth be told, he had no idea what the little prankster was up to.

He'll be anywhere and everywhere around town that day, searching every corner and under every table for any hint of that teasing smile...all the while remaining on high alert for anything that would attempt to dive-bomb him.]

It's a modern thing. When you're rooming with someone, you hang a sock or something outside the door to let your roommate know you're.. uh, busy with someone, so they don't come in. [He leans back on the couch, crossing his arms behind his head.]

I might have given him a pair of socks after that one mission you guys went on together.
ahappylie: (Oops)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2014-02-27 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
...Why would you ever advertise such a thing? Or are people in the future just...more open about it? [Or just louder? Because seriously, you could do that and be quiet. At least, he thought people could. It wasn't like he ever heard anything going on at the compound and he knew people had to be doing something with so many men packed together. At the very least in his time people left to do it elsewhere if they were loud.

AND WOW, FAYT.
]

And wow...that is long before anything even happened. Just how long have you been teasing him about this?

Well when you're sharing a dorm with someone there isn't usually a lot of room, so it can get a little awkward. At least that's what I've heard. [A shrug. Not like he'd ever needed to do anything like that, himself. It had mostly been a joke.] But you could say people are a bit more open about things, yeah.

As for how long, you guys were dancing around something for a while, you know? Cliff takes bricks to get the picture though, so I made a few jokes. Not that any of them worked.
ahappylie: (Giggle fit)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2014-02-27 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
I would think the one with the partner would leave for awhile. At least, that's what the men used to do. Yamanami-san spent a lot of time away from the compound since he had Akesato-san. [Souji is so confused by this turnaround in culture, Fayt. What what what.] I suppose it's good that I lived so long ago.

[He laughed at Fayt's description of Cliff, setting the scissors down so he didn't accidentally stab himself in the process.] That is one way to describe him, yes. And he's the sort to only see and notice what he needs to, I think. I didn't mind.
etherealblast: (Scan)

[personal profile] etherealblast 2014-02-27 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Times change. I don't really think it's a bad or good thing, just... different. [People just got a lot more casual about things as time went by and values changed.]

Exactly my point. Rei and I wanted to see if you guys could figure it out with some help, but it looks like you didn't exactly need it in the end.
ahappylie: (With a fan)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2014-02-27 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh so that is why the two of you were spying on us. [Souji folded the hair clippings up into a paper ball and considered throwing them away, but instead saved them and set them on the table for now. He leaned back against the couch, taking up a second piece of paper, and started to fold it into shapes.]

Such conspiracies all around me and I wasn't even aware. [He sounded more amused than anything else and kept creasing lines into the paper using his leg as a table.] You two aren't going to sneak in and spy on us again, are you? If you do, I'd like a little warning.
etherealblast: (Default)

[personal profile] etherealblast 2014-02-27 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Another small grin alights on his face.] Nah, our spying is over, promise. You guys are on your own now.

[He watches Souji fold paper lazily, still feeling a bit tired. Maybe he could beg some dinner off Aleos....]
ahappylie: (Or so I heard~)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2014-02-27 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Good, because it's a little weird to think my not-really-real son was spying on his not-really-his-real parents.
etherealblast: (pic#7420099)

[personal profile] etherealblast 2014-02-28 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Souji just gets a snort at that.] No way. No reason to go spying now anyway.
ahappylie: (Ceiling Souji)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2014-02-28 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiles, amused and pokes Fayt lightly in the side.]

And why is that? Is there another not-yet couple who needs your intervention?
etherealblast: (pic#5757183)

[personal profile] etherealblast 2014-02-28 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[That draws another laugh and a squirm from Fayt as he tries to wiggle away from the poking finger.] No, no more matchmaking. That's really not my kind of thing, usually.
ahappylie: (With a fan)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2014-03-03 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
So you say and yet you took a keen interest in Cliff-san for some reason. Is it just because I teased him so often or was it something else?
etherealblast: (pic#7420099)

[personal profile] etherealblast 2014-03-03 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
You two were a special, one time case. Gotta look out for my friends, you know? Besides, seeing you guys dance around each other was downright painful sometimes.
ahappylie: (Giggle fit)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2014-03-04 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Painful, was it? I didn't realize it was so obvious or pain-inducing. [Except for him, of course, but that's in the past now.]
etherealblast: (pic#5757183)

[personal profile] etherealblast 2014-03-04 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Really obvious. Trust me on this.
ahappylie: (With a fan)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2014-03-04 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
I guess I'll have to work more on my air of mystery~ or else I won't be much good at stealth anymore.
etherealblast: (Stone Rain)

[personal profile] etherealblast 2014-03-04 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Does that really have anything to do with stealth?
ahappylie: (Or so I heard~)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2014-03-04 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
If you could guess what we were thinking? Yes. I prefer not to be such an open book.
etherealblast: (Default)

[personal profile] etherealblast 2014-03-04 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[Guess it made sense...]

At least it worked out in the end, didn't it?
ahappylie: (Wistful)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2014-03-04 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Souji smiled at Fayt for a moment and then leaned back, going back to his paper folding.]

We'll see.

For now I just need to wait another hour or so and I win.
etherealblast: or take without permission of the colorist ok (pic#5693093)

[personal profile] etherealblast 2014-03-04 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
An hour huh? [He ponders a moment, contemplating, before nodding to himself and making to stand.] I should probably get ready to go then. No matter how this turns out, this should be something you guys should discuss yourselves.
ahappylie: (This should be fun)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2014-03-04 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Souji rose from the sofa as well, smiling.]

I'm sure it won't take us long to discuss if we do end up discussing it. I have at least some idea of what is going on - and he's a straightforward man. Plus he has to do whatever I say, so he really doesn't have a choice.
etherealblast: (pic#5245280)

[personal profile] etherealblast 2014-03-04 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
I might stay over at Aleos' regardless. [A shrug. Aleos still worried Fayt a little, really.] But leave me a message if you guys finish up early though, alright? And if you have more questions you wanna run by me, after.
ahappylie: (Frank and open)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2014-03-13 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Aleos is a name Souji has heard, but he doesn't know the boy well - someone to investigate later then.]

I'll be sure to come by and tap on the door to let you know when I leave, how about that? Where will you be?
etherealblast: (Default)

[personal profile] etherealblast 2014-03-13 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
That works, too. [Fayt stretches a little, glancing towards his room. He should probably grab a few things... His journal at least.] Aleos' apartment is the first room on the first floor, so I'll be just downstairs.
