Who: Yagyuu and Niou
What: G
When: Uuuh...day after Marui and Yagyuu's log?
Why: Yagyuu needs to have a chat with Niou. :|
It was easy to find Niou's room at the directory. As luck would have it, he actually happened to be in the room directly underneath their own. Yagyuu took a deep breath before rapping his knuckles sharply against the door, preferring that Niou would be alone. And if he wasn't, he'd just have to make it that way. His own room was out -- Marui being his roommate, Yagyuu had a feeling the other already had suspicions. Far be it from him to allow that path of thinking to worsen by seeing the two of them alone together.
Niou glanced up from where he was reading his science book (novel idea, go figure) and he slid off his reading glasses to slide them into the drawer beside his bed before he stood to head over to the door. He pulled it open a crack and peered out before he grinned and drew it open wide. "Yagyuu! What a pleasant surprise. Come on in." He wanted for Yagyuu to step inside before he closed the door behind him. "What's up?"
"Hm." Yagyuu came in politely, thanking the other under his breath before he walked inside, glancing over at Niou curiously. "Niou-san. It's a pleasure, I'm sure." He stayed standing, sliding his glasses right back up his nose, deciding to lean against the door. "How's the studying coming along?" He couldn't help but crack a smile -- it was a rare occurrence to see his partner study. Perhaps that was his own observation, however.
"Niou-san? When'd you get all formal on me?" Niou headed back over to his bed and flopped back down onto it, absently shoving the book off to the side. "Eh? It's going alright, I guess. None of the stuff they have here is really too hard. Guess they gotta kinda dumb it down a bit, since we've got people over a span of three grades. What're you doin' standin' way over there, though?"
Yagyuu paused a moment before deciding to stay where he was at, giving a light shrug of his shoulders. "It's easy work. Still, it'd be terrible to get back to school and find out that we're behind." His lips pursed into a frown. "I gave Marui some of my concealer to hide the mark on his neck. It's rather expensive. Please refrain from making him use it all."
A laugh left Niou and he rubbed the back of his neck a bit before he snapped his fingers. "You're not supposed to tell him how to cover it up, y'know. Ruins all the fun if people can't see it." He grinned wide and leaned back against the headboard, his hands behind his head as he watched Yagyuu. There was something else he wanted to talk about; Niou could tell. "So what else is up?"
"It embarrasses him." Yagyuu shrugged idly. He'd've done the same for anyone else. Finally taking a seat at the foot of Niou's bed, Yagyuu glanced towards him, frowning. "He asked me something also. Something rather...surprising." A pause. "You know. It's very...awkward to explain to someone that you are actively pursuing... that we never were together in that sort of manner. Why on earth would you tell him that we'd...experimented?"
"Oh. That." Niou rubbed the back of his head again before he finally lifted and dropped his shoulders in a shrug. "Well, he had assumed that I was into you, y'know? And I told him I'm not, but I didn't wanna go and lie about our history either. I figure anyone I'm pursuing like this deserves to know what I've done. Fuck it if I'm gonna let it come back and bite me in the ass later down the road."
"Not that it would have mattered." Yagyuu answered curtly, folding his arms behind his head to make himself comfortable. "It would've been much smarter on your part to lie about it. He's..." He frowned. "I have a feeling it makes him uncomfortable now." It certainly didn't help the mood in their shared room any.
Niou let out a breath and tipped his head as he gazed at Yagyuu silently. He knew his doubles partner better than Yagyuu thought. "'m sorry. Didn't mean to go and tell someone that about us. I just..." Niou scratched his head lightly and let out a sigh. "I don't know. I felt like I had to explain to him. Like...I'd feel like an asshole if I didn't."
He could understand it. Really, he could. It just seemed like a step backwards, to have Marui think they had done something other than childish experimentation. Particularly when they'd never gotten past being curious. Yagyuu exhaled smoothly, letting his head lean against the wall. "It's fine." He answered after a pause. "Really. I just...didn't particularly expect to be confronted about that sort of thing."
"You know, I really didn't think he'd go asking you about it, ei---" Niou cut himself off sharply and paused to think. Why would Marui talk to Yagyuu about it? Unless he hadn't believed Niou. Or he was worried about something. His eyes slowly went wide and he almost started to laugh. "Oh my sweet god he's jealous."
"It took you this long to figure it out." Yagyuu tsked. "Now you understand my predicament?" He couldn't help but give a tad bit of a smile, slipping his glasses up his nose. "You've given me the gift of having my roommate look at me every ten seconds like I'm going to swoop down and steal you away."
"Hey, I've been a little focused on getting him to let me be close without kicking me." Niou let out a low whistle and shook his head, his eyes going toward the ceiling briefly. Marui was damn jealous of the fact that he and Yagyuu had fooled around in the past. This was fantastic news! "If the idiot would just fess up to the fact that he likes it when I touch him, this would all go much smoother."
"Perhaps you're too direct." Yagyuu advised, amused. "Subtlety never hurt anyone." Niou probably had never even heard of the word, judging from what Marui had said.
Niou laughed and shook his head. "Actually, I've decided to pull back now. Let him come to me the next time, y'know? At least then he'd have to acknowledge I have some sort of effect on him."
Yagyuu's lip twitched. "Aa." Poor Marui. The other young man had enough trouble dealing with the fact that he wanted Niou in the first place. Though, if Yagyuu were to wager, it wouldn't be long before he wanted Niou enough to pursue him instead of the other way around. "You'll have to let me know how that works out."
"You'll be the first to find out, for sure." Niou grinned and dropped his arms down beside him on the bed. His eyes alighted on his computer and he started to snicker quietly. "Hey. You ready for this? Sanada gets off to the mental image of Yanagi getting off." Really, that was probably one of his most favorite pieces of information from that reel.
Thank goodness for something that didn't involve the mating habits of one Niou Masaharu. Yagyuu took in this new tidbit of information, wrinkling his face in somewhat disgust, but mostly amusement. "I've recently come to learn that Sanada is a very...strange person." He laughed softly. "I'm somehow not surprised."
"He had a whole conversation about it up on the roof with Yanagi. It was, uh...interesting to say the least. I always figured that Sanada was such an uptight ass because he hadn't even figured out the whole masturbation thing yet. Go figure." Niou snickered again and shook his head. "I'd show you the footage, but I deleted it at Yanagi's request. Figure if there's someone whose side it'd be smart to stay on, it'd be his."
"You'd think so." Yagyuu shifted and finally made himself more comfortable. "Such a shame, but really, I'm sure you're right..." The gentleman of Rikkai leaned forward a bit, curiously. "Anything else interesting happen so far on the cameras?"
Niou shook his head. "Not really. People've been pretty boring so far. I mean, the most drama is coming out of our little corner of the camp so far, and even that's starting to get old fast. Shame I can't get any cameras in the showers or bath or anything. Steam fogs up the lens pretty bad." And he had tried, too.
"No shower scenes?" Yagyuu fixed his glasses on his nose again, smiling. "You must be so disappointed." He was, too. A little. Though the cameras were too expensive for him to want to think about ruining them.
"You have no idea." Niou grinned wide and laughed, his head thrown back. "If I had more money, I'd have sprung for the cameras that can hold up under those conditions, but damn, I'm no Hyoutei student. I don't have that kind of cash. More's the pity." He reached out with his foot and nudged at Yagyuu. "You don't have a secret bank account somewhere, do you?"
He shrugged. "It's all in the stock exchange." Well, it was. Yagyuu had to build his investments early, after all. His own net worth was well enough to cover the expenses needed...but, he had to get into a good college somehow. Tokyo University certainly didn't come without money.
"Damn. Stingy." Niou laughed and snapped his fingers. "Oh, that's right." He shifted a little to swing down and poke under the bed, and he rifled through something before he sat back up, wallet in hand. Eventually he pulled out a few more bills and handed them over. "The rest of your loan. It took me a little longer to pay you back than I wanted, but there you are, paid in full."
"Sorry." Yagyuu gave him a smile, the sorry a bit insincere. As interesting as shower scenes were, it wasn't worth spending the extra cash to see them. Pornography websites showed co-ed showers for much, much less than even one of those cameras. Taking the bills, Yagyuu meticulously folded them all the right way, facing, folding them once over before tucking them in his own wallet. "You're officially debt free, then."
"Fantastic!" With a grin, Niou rested his hands behind his head and promptly laid back on the bed, his eyes on the ceiling. Eventually he glanced toward Yagyuu and promptly shoved at him with his foot. "So, since you've interrupted my studying and I don't very much feel like getting back into it, it's now nap time. You can stay or go."
Yagyuu shoved back at the foot, standing from his position on Niou's bed. "As much as I'd love to stare at you while you sleep," he said, playfully, crossing his arms over his chest. "Study later. If you need my notes, you know where to find me." He paused for a moment, something on the tip of his tongue. After a single second, he bit it down and turned to leave. "Have a nice nap, then."
Niou yawned and promptly rolled onto his side, his back to Yagyuu. He lifted his arm and waved to his friend as he left. "I'll study when I study. You should take a nap, too. It's good for the soul."
