T22- Moving In? [Accidental Voice Entry]
[The first sound to be heard as the recording turns on is the light creaking of bedsprings.]
Studying again?
[A second voice makes an almost inaudible sound, and a book can be heard closing nearby.]
Sort of... Just skimming through it.
I wish I'd had your study skills when I was in school.
[He laughs and the springs creak again.]
If you've got a minute, though, I kinda wanted to talk to you about something.
I've got time. What's up?
Well... I was just thinking about some of the stuff that's happened recently, you know, all the chaos and... chaos-related things... I-It's getting more dangerous now, so I was thinking, maybe- if you were alright with it... ...Move in with me?
[There's an odd silence, before...]
...H-huh?
[The bed creaks a third time, and Naoki's voice sounds rushed and nervous.]
S-sorry! That was a stupid question, wasn't it? Forget I asked!
[A shout, a thump, and rapid footsteps.]
Naoki! ...Y-you okay?
F-fine... just hurt my pride, that's all.
[Lyle laughs.]
Well, hopefully that's easily healed... And... About...what you asked... I...
Y-you don't have to! I mean, I know you probably wouldn't, but... It's been really quiet around here, and... it'd be nice to see you more often...
[The end of his sentence dissolves into mumbles.]
Hey, calm down, Kashima. I...didn't say 'no', did I? You just took me by surprise, that's all...
I know, sorry. Just... think about it, maybe? It's alright if you choose not to, really. I'd understand.
Hey, don't give me that look... I... well...
[He trails off quietly.]
You...?
I... wouldn't mind... I would like to. Okay...? I'd like to... move in... ...with you. I just...
Like to, but can't, right?
...Like to... but... I'm going to need a lot of free area for books and stuff~ You sure you've got the space~?
[A pause, then Naoki starts laughing.]
Yes, yes, even if we've got to tell any other roommates to sleep outside! Take all the space you need.
Well then, I don't think we'll be having any problems~. When do I move in, Naoki Kashima?
Consider this your two weeks notice: you moved in, as of two weeks ago.
[Lyle laughs with him.]
Had this planned, did you...? Then we should seal the deal somehow.
Actually, I just sort of winged it, but let's make it official anyway.
[Shuffling near the PDA can be heard shortly before the recording times out.]
