Chinen: -knocks loudly on his door-
Ohtori: *finishing gathering some of the socks, can't believe he is doing this* ...Just a moment! *opens the door and offers a small smile* Hello-
Chinen: Are you ready? -holds up a match book and a small container of fluid-
Ohtori: I suppose I am...*adjusts his grip on his bag of socks and steps into the hallway, eyeing the lighter fluid* We won't get in trouble for this, will we?
Chinen: It's a camp, just grab a bag of marshmallows or something for cover. When somebody comes just throw a flaming one at them. -chuckles-
Ohtori: ...I uh..alright. *sheepish smile* I suppose that makes sense.
Chinen: I think I'm beginning to like you. -smirks- Now come on, while it's still dark out.
Ohtori: Okay- *follows after him, convinced he is likely losing his mind doing this* Chinen-senpai? Can I ask why you want to burn socks in the first place?
Chinen: -shrugs, doesn't have much of a reason other than boredom- Cotton catches fire nicely.
Ohtori: ...alright then. *shrugs a bit* The woods? *nods his head toward the trees*
Chinen: -nods- Planning to start a forest fire? Didn't know you had it in you. -joking-
Ohtori: *eyes widen* Oh no no, nothing like that! I just don't want us getting in trouble is all--
Chinen: Relax, it's called a joke. Lighten up. -rolls his eyes and heads toward the woods-
Ohtori: *head down* sorry- I have been trying to. *sheepish smile*
Chinen: Is that earring an attempt to?
Ohtori: *blushes* Something like that. *tugs the small wing on his ear gently*
Chinen: It's a start. -suddenly interested in helping him lightening up more, since he enjoys corrupting the youth-
Ohtori: Had to start someplace...
Chinen: Is that why you agreed to burn things with me?
Ohtori: Maybe a little-
Chinen: Are you sure you're not too afraid to go of into the woods with me?
Ohtori: *little chuckle* I am pretty sure you are not the boogie man-
Chinen: -laughs- That's not the reaction I get from most people.
Ohtori: Though I suppose I could be mistaken.
Chinen: Only one way to find out. -motions toward the trees when they reach them- Kouhai first.
Ohtori: ...Hai.*swallows and steps ahead of him and into the trees*
Chinen: -creepy chuckle- There's a clearing ahead that should work.
Ohtori: *remembers the fight he was in and that he won and calms himself* Looks good. I'll make a wall of rocks...
Chinen: -nods- I'll grab some sticks.
Ohtori: *builds a small ring of rocks and opens the bag of socks*
Chinen: -arranges sticks in a small square pyre- You might want to back up. -pours some of the fluid on the sticks-
Ohtori: *backs up slightly, raising a brow* that is a lot, isn't it?
Chinen: It's enough. -lights a match and tosses it on, smiles as the whole thing lights up-
Ohtori: *smiles a bit more at the flames* I'll say...so uhm.....socks? *offers the bag*
Chinen: -grabs a handfull- I'll let you do the honors of the first one, they are yours after all.
Ohtori: Thanks? *carefully tosses one on, watching how quickly it lights up* ...cool.
Chinen: -tosses another on- I told you it was fun.
Ohtori: Fair enough-
Chinen: -grins as he tosses more in-
Ohtori: *tosses a few more on, grinning a bit as well*
Chinen: -looks over at Ohtori and chuckles-
Ohtori: *glances over at him* ...what?
Chinen: You look absolutely evil in that light.
Ohtori: *blinks* ...me? *has never heard that before*
Chinen: No, the man standing next to you.
Ohtori: You? *teasing smile*
Chinen: Rin always did say I lit up around fires. -laughs and tosses in another sock-
Ohtori: *small smile* I suppose you do look pretty happy burning a practical stranger's laundry.
Chinen: When you put it that way, it almost sounds creepy.
Ohtori: *tosses a few more balled up socks on the blaze* Perhaps a little.
Chinen: And yet you're still here with me.
Ohtori: *faint smile* You are not half as creepy as Inui-senpai and I hang out with him a lot.
Chinen: -puts a hand to his chest- I'm deeply offended.
Ohtori: ...you would want to be creepier than them?
Chinen: -shakes his head- Joking.
Ohtori: Aah.
Chinen: Though it is a blow to my reputation. -grabs more socks from the bag-
Ohtori: *tosses a few more socks in* Well here is the good news, I don't know your reputation. And this is a good place to change it if you don't like it.
Chinen: I've grown fond of it over the years but the sentiment is appreciated.
Ohtori: If it works for you, stick with it. *hands him a ball of socks*
Chinen: -serves it in with his hand- That was my intention. Does yours work for you?
Ohtori: *small smile* Like I have told my friends here, there is a Hyoutei reputation that tends to overshadow any real one.
Chinen: So you're not just some stuck up prissy bastard? -fake gasp-
Ohtori: *beams* maybe I am. Maybe I'm not.
Chinen: I'm guessing you verge on the "not" side.
Ohtori: That is hard to say~
Chinen: I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Ohtori: *small nod, handing over the last pair of socks* I guess so.
Chinen: -eagerly tosses it in and watches it burn-
Ohtori: *settles on a rock and stretches lazily* the fire feels nice.
Chinen: -nods- You wouldn't have happened to pack any sort of food in that bag, would you?
Ohtori: Afraid not. Sorry.
Chinen: Shame. -sits down and grabs a stick, occupies himself with peeling the bark off- I told you you wouldn't get in trouble.
Ohtori: *small smile, eyes the fire* The night is young.
Chinen: Do you /want/ to get in trouble?
Ohtori: *blinks* Not particularly.
Chinen: -nods- Mm.
Ohtori: Though to be perfectly honest, I am surprised I haven't gotten into any trouble even though I have been careless. *laughs lightly* Saying something like that though, I might just jinx myself!
Chinen: Yes, you're definitely going to get in trouble now. -chuckles- Shouldn't have opened your mouth.
Ohtori: *little laugh* No one would believe it anyway.
Chinen: I guess you're right. -pokes his stick into the fire-
Ohtori: *considers* Are you hungry? We could go get something. My treat.
Chinen: -stomach growls- Sounds like a plan to me. -kicks some dirt on the fire-
Ohtori: *knocks a rock over on the fire to help smother it* What sounds good?
Chinen: Can you get good takoyaki around here?
Ohtori: Hmm. I don't know. Probably.
Chinen: I haven't had any since leaving Okinawa.
Ohtori: I can't promise it will be as good but so far the food here hasn't been disappointing. Come on, it is a pretty short walk if you take the woods.
Chinen: -kicks one last bit of dirt into the remains of the fire before following him there-
Ohtori: *finds a pretty good looking spot that has a decent selection of Japanese dishes* It smells good!
Chinen: -grins- Reminds me of home. Only with less goya.
Ohtori: *leads him in and gets them settled in* It's...different.
Chinen: -relaxes- I take it you don't dine adventurously much?
Ohtori: Lately it has been a lot of Italian, American, and French. Working for Atobe-senpai has been interesting.
Chinen: Ah, him. I can only imagine.
Ohtori: *small smile* He is really a good person when you get to know him.
Chinen: I'll take your word for it.
Ohtori: Alright. Well, get whatever you want. *considers what he will have*
Chinen: Shouldn't I be the one treating you? -looks over the menu-
Ohtori: *shrugs* I offered.
Chinen: -puts menu down- I'll just have an order of takoyaki.
Ohtori: ...nothing else?
Chinen: -shakes his head- That's all.
Ohtori: ...alright. *goes ahead and orders the same for himself as well*
Chinen: -waits in silence for the food-
Ohtori: *waits as well, fidgets a bit*
Chinen: Something wrong?
Ohtori: No-
Chinen: Hm.
Ohtori: Hm?
Chinen: Nothing.
Ohtori: Alright. So- uhm...what's your major?
Chinen: Chemistry.
Ohtori: Another scientist. *amused sound*
Chinen: Another?
Ohtori: Inui-senpai is doing physical therapy sorts of sciences. Koharu-senpai has one of his majors in science. I seem to collect them as of late.
Chinen: -laughs- Maybe we secretly all want to study you.
Ohtori: *bright red, swallows his water a bit too quickly and coughs*
Chinen: I'll take that as an affirmative.
Ohtori: ...something like that. *so happy when the food arrives as it serves as a distraction*
Chinen: -also happy when the food arrives because he's hungry, omnomnom-
Ohtori: *pokes at it a bit before trying some* Not bad. ^_^
Chinen: They're better where I come from but these are still good
Ohtori: Next time I get a chance to go to Okinawa I will have to try the real ones.
Chinen: -nods- Good idea.
Ohtori: *eats quietly*
Chinen: -also eats in silence, very content-
Ohtori: *finds he doesn't mind the other man's company at all, eats quietly though*
Chinen: -also enjoys his company, glad to find someone quiet for a change-
Ohtori: *makes a slight face when his phone rings* ...excuse me a moment? *quickly reads a text and replies to it before closing the phone again and putting it on vibrate* Work...it never seems to emd
Chinen: It's alright. -feeling friendly for a change- Do you mind if I ask what it is you do?
Ohtori: I'm Atobe-senpai's assistant. I schedule his meeting and obligations...and try to get him a little breathing room on occasion... *shrugs like it is nothing, though he practically moves mountains daily*
