Sousuke-kun

[muscle_maniac]

[Yeah.... Ever since that date auction, Gou has decided to avoid Sousuke for a while. So whenever she came home from work, she immediately headed towards her room. If nothing else, she could always hide in her bathroom and take a bath. He wouldn't come in there of all places, right? Okay. She just needed to head to her bathroom....]

[overexertion]

[Sousuke had been bad at catching Gou after the auction. A part of him actually wanted to let her be, but he also wanted to talk with Gou about what went on. Nagisa's words were still stuck in his head after all.

So, this time he'll just stop her from even entering her room, since he actually has that chance, seeing as he had a day off and she didn't.]

... welcome home.

[That's the thing you say after blocking her escape route?]

[muscle_maniac]

[Crap. He wasn't supposed to catch her this early...]

Oh uhm... T-thanks.... [Looking for a way out of this!!]

[overexertion]

Gou... please. Let's talk.

[Please don't run away from him. He just wants to chat.]

[muscle_maniac]

[But it's awkward....

But she'll just sigh. She's been caught. May as well face the music here...]

Fine.

Sousuke

[strawberrypenguin]

[Nagisa sighed slightly, he knew it was coming. Ever since that whole auction, he knew he was going to get a telling off from someone. Either Rin, which he figured was the most likely one, or Sousuke.

Either way he had chosen to simply wait for the inevitable and sat by the pool quietly, a bag of candy in his hands as he had taken one out and placed it in his mouth.]

[overexertion]

[Well, at least one of them is easy to catch.

Sousuke's still annoyed over the whole auction thing and ending up in there in the first place. That's why he really needs to have a word with Nagisa. Even if it almost feels like he's being a strict parent.

Without actually asking, Sousuke sits down next to Nagisa by the pool.]

So. Is there anything you want to say or should I do the talking?

[strawberrypenguin]

[Nagisa had placed another sweet in his mouth, chewing on it quietly. He knew what he should say, but he didn't feel bad or sorry for his actions. He did it for good reason, at least in his own mind.]

I assume you want me to apologize.

[overexertion]

Not really.

[Sousuke figures Nagisa did it with a good reason and didn't feel like he did anything bad. He just wished the boy would sometimes talk about his ideas before going through with them.]

I just wanted to know why I was in the auction the first place and why you rallied the prize. The girls were spending too much already...

[strawberrypenguin]

I though it would be nice, that's all. Also so that you would speak to more people.

[Was that the actual truth... Who knows really. He did do a lot without saying anything about it. Like he was still doing things without telling people.]

Gou

[overexertion]

[Sousuke's urge to swim had grown stronger. The more he spent time by the pools in Sametobi, the more he felt the need to just go all out in the water. Sometimes it was too much to actually resist and the pain got worse. The amount he's had to skip work had increased with it and there really weren't many options left for Sousuke to choose from.

It was time to talk to his employer first. He knows Gou must have been worried because of his continued absences anyway so it was better to tell her what was going on.

And Rin.. he would have to tell Rin as well. After he would tell Gou.

Sousuke knocked on Gou's door and waited. He looked more serious than usual today.]

[muscle_maniac]

[Gou had been worried about him, but she couldn't exactly bring herself to ask him why he had been skipping. She managed to do what she needed to to cover, but she wasn't sure how long she could last like this. Hearing him knock, she went over to open the door.]

Oh, Sousuke-kun. Did you need something? [Like to tell her important information perhaps?]

[overexertion]

There's something we need to talk about. Can I come in?

[While the others in the house knew about him already, Sousuke didn't want Rin to accidentally overhear him say something he wanted to say. sorry ssk he will anyway]

[muscle_maniac]

Yeah, sure. [Moving out of the way to let him in her room.]

[overexertion]

[Sousuke walks in and waits until Gou closes the door and is ready to listen.]

It's about work. You've probably noticed I've been absent a lot.

Anyone | Late Feburary

[strawberrypenguin]

[Nagisa had started to keep to himself, even around the house. There had been a reason for such thing and a good enough reason for him at least. So whenever it wasn't time to eat, Nagisa found himself sitting by the pool, Ai-chan; his Labrador puppy sitting happily by his side, wagging her tail happily as Nagisa simply smiled a small smile at her and held her lightly.]

[overexertion]

[Sousuke placed a hand on Nagisa's shoulder.]

Hey. There's dinner.

[strawberrypenguin]

[He turned his head slightly as Ai was happily now at the others feet asking for a pat on the head.]

I'll be there in a minute.

[overexertion]

[The hand that was on Nagisa's shoulder moves to pet the dog.]

I don't want to sound pushy, but if you need someone to talk to, you know where I am.

[strawberrypenguin]

[Ai wagged her tail slightly as Nagisa was looking at the floor for a brief moment. He knew he should at least be more open, his friends always found out things after all.]

I know, I just don't know how to right now.

Rin

[overexertion]

(ooc: on the same day as this)

[After talking with Gou, Sousuke had attempted to find Rin, but hadn't been successful. So he returned to his room with a fresh ice pack and decided to give a treatment for his shoulder.

He'd need to find a new job now that he wasn't a coach anymore. Funny, he'd just complained to Rin about him needing a job and now he needed to find one. Then again, Sousuke already had an idea for it.]

Re: Rin

[caringcaptain]

[Rin didn't know what time it was nor how long has it been since he left their house. His legs felt numb and heartbeats were so fast it almost hurt. But Rin couldn't care less. He wasn't meant to hear the conversation between his sister and Sousuke but now when he had heard it, he was sad, angry and disappointed, all of those at the same time. Sousuke had lied to him after all.]

Damn it..

[Rin kicked empty soda can in front of his leg. The weather had started to get colder, causing Rin to shiver. Because he had left so fast, he didn't took his jacket with him and even though he still had his hoodie on, it wasn't warm enough. So as much as Rin wanted to stay outside for a while longer, he had to admit that he might catch a cold if he wouldn't return inside. Plus, since Rin was still new in Genessia, he wasn't familiar with the area they were living. It would be a big problem to get lost in the woods or some other place he didn't know that well.

Rin opened the front door. It was relieving to know that he was alone at the moment. Because he was still sweating and thirsty from his long running, Rin took a full bottle of water out of the fridge before heading to his and Sousuke's room. The redhead realized how fast his heart had started to beat, trying to think what he could say if Sousuke was waiting for him. What if the other boy would lie to him even more? Even thinking about that possibility hurt more than Rin could describe.]

[overexertion]

[Sousuke could hear the door open and with an automatic reaction, he threw the ice pack into the trashcan. Well, it had almost melted anyway, so it wasn't going to last much longer anyway, but... he still didn't meant to throw it like he'd be hiding the fact he was taking care of his shoulder.

Especially when his shoulder was still bare and red. He hadn't put his jacket back on and he didn't when Rin walked in.]

Welcome back. Did you go out for a walk? [At least attempt a normal conversation first.]

[caringcaptain]

[As soon as Rin realized that the room wasn't empty, he froze but still tried to stay as calm as possible. His friend's words didn't reach the redhead's ears because he was staring at the wounded shoulder. Seeing the red skin made Rin to let out a quiet sigh as he moved his gaze to his feet.]

How long were you going to continue lying to me?

[Even though Rin tried to keep his voice steady, it was still shaking a little bit. He couldn't watch his friend into the eyes either. Was it really because Sousuke didn't trust him? What else could be the reason?]

Rin and Sousuke's room

[caringcaptain]

(Couple of days after Rin has arrived.)

[Rin was lying on his bed, arms under his head. Red eyes were closed and quiet, peaceful music coming from the headphones was making Rin more and more tired. He was still trying to get used to this new place, new people as well as some other things so the amount of new information felt too big to handle. Rin knew he still had a lot to learn about Genessia but at least he didn't have to rush.]
