Rating: G
Summary: The four of them meet up on the dormatory rooftop to watch the stars~ only, they get split up in their respective pairs >_>. Fuji and Yuuta get cozy and talk about Fuji's new business, while Inui and Taki talk. Hanamura's in there too so read this!



*Darkness has settled in the sky, with stars as pin pricks of light in the nearly clear night sky. The full moon's light is strong, glowing down on the Ryuhana dorm as if drawn to it.*

Inui: *on the rooftop next to a telescope, typing into his PDA as he looks through the telescope from time to time*

Taki: *steps onto the rooftop - wearing a coat and a sweater as advised, peeking around cautiously to see who's around before spotting Inui and heading on over* Hey.

Inui: *straightens from his position at the telescope and turns, smiling faintly* Ah, there you are. I hope it's not too cold for you. *wearing a coat as well, but he's probably not as bundled as he should be*

Taki: Nah, not at all. I'm good. *notices, smiles back* Been up here long?

Inui: Hn. *glances down at the time on his PDA* Ah, about two hours, it seems. I was looking for any constellations that might be visible. Would you like to see?

Taki: Certainly. *moves closer to the telescope and bends down to take a look~* So what am I looking at?

Inui: *still punching at his PDA as Taki looks* You are currently examining the constellation named Vela. It supposedly represents the sails of the ship, Argo Navis, which was Jason and the Argonaut's. I've only found that part of the ship so far; I still need the keel, the stern, and the compass. *pauses, glancing over at Taki* I'm sorry; I hope I'm not boring you.

Taki: *glances over, smile warms a fraction* No, no... Not at all. I like science, just don't know much about it outside my field. *shrugs a bit, resumes looking through the telescope* Neat story.

Fuji: *opens the door to the roof, Yuuta in tow* I hope we're not late~?

Inui: *pauses again, then smiles slightly* The wonders of Google. *hears the door open and he turns to see two others. He has to take a moment to place names to their faces* Ah, Fuji-kun. *nods to the both of them* I'm glad you two have come.

Yuuta: *a bit frowny since he's been dragged here. He’s only wearing a light jacket, as he has a built-in furnace, so to speak.* Why're we here again?

Taki: *continues looking through the telescope a few more seconds before stopping to look at the newcomers but doesn't say anything just yet*

Fuji: Extra credit. <3 *heads to the telescope* Anything interesting, ah ... Taki-san?

Taki: Stars. Lots of them. *smiles but it seems a tad forced* Vela - and yes, that would be me though I do not believe we've had the pleasure of meeting in the flesh yet.

Fuji: *bows politely, introducing himself* Fuji Shuusuke. And my brother, Yuuta. *motions towards him* *smilesmile*

Yuuta: *blinks as Fuji moves away, and he slowly follows. He stops behind him, bowing to both Inui and Taki*

Taki: *nods to them both* Nice to meet you.

Fuji: Likewise, of course. ^_^

Inui: Fuji Yuuta-kun is in my class, while his brother is a visitor. *glances at Yuuta* Are you not cold?

Taki: *does the same, head tilting a little* It is a bit chilly out, isn't it?

Yuuta: *blinks, not exactly comfortable with the two of them focused on him* Er, it sorta has something to do with my power, I guess. I'm not cold at all.

Fuji: Yuuta's never cold~ <3

Inui: *brow raises as he starts a new entry in his PDA* Never cold? I see... *types something in, but he pauses* Ah, but you're here to see the moon.

Fuij: *nods* It doesn't look as though there's anything unusual tonight ... although I hear there was an eclipse last night?

Inui: *nods, switching back to his previous entry* Yes, there was a total eclipse, though you wouldn't be able to see it from here for some reason. I have yet to find an answer.

Fuji: *totally kidding* Aliens?

Taki: *content to listen and observe~*

Yuuta: The only alien around here is you. *mumbles to Fuji, still pouty for being dragged out here*

Inui: *smirks a bit* That would explain the meatloaf from the other day.

Taki: Aye, it would, wouldn't it? <3 ... *smirk* Perhaps the meatloaf is at fault for the phenomenon.

Inui: Hn, and I ate it. Perhaps I'm feeling a little faint...

Fuji: *notices that they seem to have a shared joke* Alien meatloaf?

Yuuta: *stares at the two of them*

Taki: Oh, dear.. how dreadful. Perhaps we should get you to the infirmary, Inui-san. *chuckles, turns to the Fuji brothers* I would advise you to steer clear of the cafeteria. Unknown life forms are being served.

Fuji: Still? Hmm. Something else to look into, then ...

Yuuta: *brow raises but he's not surprised. He's glad that Marui makes him lunches these days*

Inui: Unknown and dying ones. It's sad, really. *smiles a bit, moving to the side* Would you two like to look through the telescope? It's currently pointed at Vela, a constellation.

Fuji: I would. *moves towards it and takes a look*

Fuji: Yuuta, come here, take a look~

Inui: As I've mentioned to Taki-san, it's part of a constellation set-- Jason and the Argonaut's ship, the Argo Navis. There are three others, but I have yet to search for them.

Yuuta: ... *feels like he's in class* *He sidles up next to Fuji* How's it look? *glances into the telescope*

Inui: *glances over at Taki* Shall we observe the moon?

Taki: *standing a bit on the outskirts of things, feeling a bit like a student himself at the moment.. it's not a comfortable feeling; nods to Inui* Yes, please.

Inui: *nods, bringing him over near the edge of the roof* The moon last night, from the faculty apartments, was a deep orange color. *Brings up a picture he took on the PDA and shows it to Taki.*

Yuuta: *looks up at Fuji* I don't see how you can tell these are constellations. They kinda just look like they're all over the place to me.

Fuji: *whispers to Yuuta* I can't.
Fuji: But it's always good to make new friends, ne~?

Yuuta: ... *nudges Fuji* *whispers back* Yeah, but, he's a teacher.

Fuji: Don't you want extra credit? *chuckles*

Yuuta: Last I heard, Astronomy was completely different from Biology. *pokes at Fuji* Let's look at something else.

Fuji: I could look at you. <3

Yuuta: Looking at the back of my head everyday isn't enough?

Fuji: You're cuter from the front. <3 *turns to the teachers, stepping close* Finding anything?

Taki: *jumps a little from where he'd been staring at the picture* ... *thinks this is so much easier when he's wearing the suit or when there's less people around*

Fuji: (Curious.) Taki-san?
Fuji: (He's not at all like he was online...)

Inui: *pauses for a second as he wonders about Taki. He then glances to Fuji, smiling politely* Ah, I took some pictures of the eclipse last night. I was just showing Taki-san here.

Taki: I'm fine. *musters a smile* But if you would excuse me, I must be going. *nods and bows to all three* Have a good evening, Fuji-san, Fuji-san... Inui-san. *takes off in a fastwalk*

Fuji: ... ? *decides to let it go, though it bears further investigation*

Inui: *blinks, having not expected that from Taki at all. He looks to Fuji, nodding.* I'm sorry, if you would excuse me. You and your brother may do what you wish with the telescope. *nods again, then follows after Taki quickly*

Taki: *sitting on the stairs, leading down from the roof, breathing in and out with his head in his hands*

Inui: *stops just before Taki, puzzled.* Taki-san? *asks in a calm, perhaps concerned voice*

Taki: *slowly calming down, looks up at Inui, manages a genuinely calm smile* It's alright. I'll be fine in just a moment.

Inui: *pauses, hesitating for the first time. He then goes to sit next to the other* May I ask if something is the matter?

Taki: You may. *debates not answering for a moment but decides against it - Inui seems trustworthy enough and it's not exactly top secret knowledge* Tonight might not have been the best night for me to try to socialize.

Inui: *watches Taki from behind his glasses, curious* Why is that, if you don't mind me asking.

Taki: I received some shocking news shortly after my arrival here concerning the death of an old friend of mine and I'm afraid that I'm still reeling from the blow, just a bit. *wan smile, wonders if this isn't TMI; he just met the guy, after all*

Inui: *remains quiet for a moment, wondering how to handle a situation like this* I'm sorry for your loss.

Taki: *feels a bit better just saying it to someone* Thank you.

Inui: You didn't have to come.

Taki: But I wanted to. *soft chuckle, wonders if he should say the whole truth, that he didn't really expect anyone else to be here, but holds back* So thanks for the invitation.

Inui: *nods* Nevertheless, I'm glad you came. Though, if what I say is uninteresting, please inform me. I now I can... get carried away at times with things only a pundit would find interesting.

Taki: Maybe I'm a pundit, then. *shrug, half-grin* I think science is cool.

Inui: *smiles back* Even if I go on about formulae you've never heard about?

Taki: Even if you go on about laws I didn't even know existed on this planet. All I ask is for an explanation - that's all.

Inui: *pauses, silent for a moment then chuckles, his comment in a light tone* I think I may be in love. As I've said, it's been a while since I've had intelligent conversations with others.

Taki: They're nice. *looks down a moment, feeling more like a high school student than ever* I'd like to have more.

Inui: *glances at Taki, curious about that expression* We could have more. *pauses, hesitant again, then awkwardly pats Taki's shoulder* Perhaps we should retire.

Taki: Perhaps so. *smiles* It is late. Think the kids will be okay with the telescope?

Inui: They seem trustworthy enough. *stands, holding out a hand to Taki*

Taki: *takes it and stands gracefully* As long as they don't break it.

Inui: *smirks* If they do, I know who they are.

Taki: ... *smirks* And where they sleep?

Inui: I could find out. *adjusts his glasses, and they glint slightly*

Taki: *thoughtful* I wonder if their addresses are on file. I could take a look.

Inui: However, that takes all the fun out of the investigation.

Taki: ...you have a point.

Inui: *smirks slightly* Well, we'll see in the morning.

Taki: *chuckles* I suppose we will.

Inui: *nods, leading them down the stairs, but he suddenly pauses* Are you still off-campus?

Taki: For the time being, yes.

Inui: And you came all the way here on such short notice?

Taki: Actually, I've been staying with a friend on-campus while finalizing moving arrangements. *small smile*

Inui: *brow perks, but he smiles in return* Then that means I don't have to walk you as far.

Taki: *chuckles* Indeed, you are well-mannered. You don't have to walk me all the way though... *wonders how Aoikins would react*

Inui: I insist. *leads him to the door, opening it for him*

Taki: *nods gratefully and moves ahead* Very well, then. I appreciate it.

Inui: *follows him out, letting the door close behind them* You'll have to lead the way.

Taki: *nods and moves ahead a few paces* It's not far, just the office building. I'm staying in one of the apartments there.

Inui: Ah, I see. It would be convenient to live there as well, since you work there. The faculty apartments would be rather far...

Taki: It helps that I'm close to everything I need, too, just in case like the medlab and Hanamura-sensei... and honestly? I'd like to be closer to the kids, if I'm going to be working with them a lot.

Inui: *nods, agreeing* Forming bonds with them would be important as well. Perhaps you should build a tent in the middle of campus. *slight smile*

Taki: *laughs* Perhaps I might and charge admission. *sly look*

Inui: An entrepreneur at heart. I believe it could work.

Taki: Oh? And what services do you propose I sell? *amused*

Inui: *chuckles* Perhaps I should do some research before answering.

Taki: What an intriguing prospect. <3

Inui: ... Is that an invitation?

Taki: Perhaps. I don't mind being studied.

Inui: *seems mildly surprised* You're the first. *smiles, as they approach the building*

Taki: Really? *raises an eyebrow, hurrying on ahead to open the door*

Inui: Yes, not many like being scrutinized. *knows that as a fact* Though perhaps it's the method that matters the most.

Taki: True, true... Some people prefer a more hands on approach. *opens the door for Inui, steps aside~*

Inui: *pauses, but then gives Taki a nod in thanks as he steps inside* Thank you. Hands on? Only with consent. And spying only works when they don't know. *pauses again* I'm just hypothesizing, of course. *smiles* I apologize for my ramblings.

Taki: There's no need to apologize. *smiles back* Consent is a given with research, of course, as for spying... sometimes it's more fun when they do know.

Inui: *...slowly smiles* Perhaps.

Taki: And controlling what they do know is half the fun. *wink*

Inui: I'll have to keep that in mind. *chuckles*

Taki: Please do. It's sound advice. *heads toward the stairs*

Inui: Very much so. *glances at the stairs* No elevator? *heads up with Taki to his floor*

Taki: Apparently not. Wonder how much it'd cost to put one in... *heads up the stairs* It'd be a lot more convenient, for sure.

Inui: I suppose it helps to keep one's figure. Which floor?

Taki: I suppose you're right. *looks up, points at the door up top* It's just up there.

Inui: *heads up the rest of the stairs, standing by the door*

Taki: *catches up, opens the door... and blinks* Hey.

Hanamura: Hello. *steps aside* Come in, both of you.

Inui: *glances inside, then blinks as well, straightening* Hanamura-sensei. *bows slightly, glancing at Taki*

Taki: *does as instructed, knows better than to argue*

Inui: *follows inside, wondering what this is about* Is something the matter?

Hanamura: Inui-kun, I wasn't expecting you. Haginosuke didn't mention that he was going on a date. <3
Hanamura: Can I get either of you boys something to drink?

Inui: *blinks, assessing the situation for a moment* Ah... I'm fine, thank you.

Taki: *gives Aoi a look* (It wasn't a date. It was.. stargazing.) Soda, please?

Hanamura: (Was it?) *goes to the refrigerator to retrieve a can for him and a can of something else for her* Have a seat. *gestures to her sofa*

Inui: If I am intruding on something, I may leave, if you wish.

Hanamura: *smiles* Of course not. Please, stay. <3

Inui: *can't back now* As you wish. *sits on the sofa, waiting patiently*

Hanamura: *takes a seat in a nearby chair* How are the stars tonight, Inui-kun?

Inui: *smiles faintly* They're where they should be, if that's what you're asking. The moon seems fine as well, despite yesterday's occurrence.

Hanamura: *sips from her drink* Were you able to find out why that happened?

Inui: Echizen-kun and I did some light investigation, but no, we have not found the cause yet.

Hanamura: Curious, isn't it?

Inui: Certainly. My hypothesis is that the cause is somewhere near or inside the dormatory, as there was a visible eclipse elsewhere on campus.

Hanamura: That does sound plausible. *smiles*

Inui: *studies her for a moment* And you know the cause of the occurrence?

Taki: *settled on the sofa with his soda, listening and observing for the moment*

Hanamura: *nods* Of course. But mysteries are so delightful! I wish you luck with yours.

Inui: *face neutral as he nods* Thank you.

Hanamura: Haginosuke, what do you think?

Taki: It's worth investigating. One of the students is likely to know something.

Inui: *glances at Hanamura, then to Taki, and back again* So then we have a sufficient lead?

Taki: Perhaps. The dorms are as good of a start as any...

Inui: *nods, turning his gaze to Hanamura, face neutral* And we have your approval?

Hanamura: Of course.

Inui: I see. Thank you. *pauses* Perhaps I should retire.

Taki: It is a bit late...

Hanamura: Are you sure you don't care to stay longer?

Inui: *begins to stand* Classes begin early tomorrow; it wouldn't do to fall asleep in my own classroom. *faint smile* Excuse me and good night, both of you.

Hanamura: Perhaps we'll see more of you, soon. <3 *stands to walk him to the door*

Taki: *rises as well* Goodnight, Inui-san. Thank you again for walking me home.

Inui: *blandly* Ah, perhaps. *glances over to Taki, nodding* Good night. *steps out, leaving the room*

---


Taki: *stretches out on the couch, sinking into the cushions, and sighs, letting his eyes close*

Hanamura: *seats herself on the edge of the couch, and presses a hand to his forehead, smoothing hair out of the way to do so -- he doesn't feel too warm, thankfully* *quietly* How are you feeling?

Taki: Tired. Weird. Off. That should sum it up.

Hanamura: *slight frown, moves her hand to his cheek* Any ideas towards the cause?

Taki: *moves his hand to cover Aoi's* It started when I talked to that Echizen kid on the journals. I don't know any more than that yet.

Hanamura: *files that away as useful* And you were fine before that...
Hanamura: He isn't replacing you, you know that.

Taki: I didn't think he was. *smiles faintly* Maybe I'm just working too hard.

Hanamura: *softly* Maybe. You've been busy, lately. Taking on much more than I asked of you.

Taki: Maybe.

Hanamura: *touches his forehead with her other hand* May I look?

Taki: *nods*

Hanamura: *removes her glasses again, and curls the hand at his cheek around his hand, holding tightly -- she focuses, and enters his mind*
Hanamura: *finds that there are some tangles, which she leaves alone; it's not her place to undo them when she's just looking -- strands of personality latticed together in a framework around his core, which she can see from here, gleaming white and orderly*
Hanamura: *it doesn't take a telepath to know that he's worn himself down, but the shining energy of his power is spread too thin over the layer it occupies -- this, she pulls back together, to give him greater depth and stronger focus; this problem is not new to him.*

Taki: *shows no resistance, even in the least; perhaps Aoi will see something he can't. as it stands, he doesn't even know where to begin fixing what's wrong on his own*

Hanamura: *has seen all she needs to for the moment, and pulls back out, but doesn't let go of his hand* That should help, at least temporarily. Until you overwork yourself again.
Hanamura: *sighs* Tend to your perimeter. You're overgrown.
Hanamura: Unless you'd like help cleaning it out? I can... *squeezes his hand*

Taki: I could use the refresher, maybe walk me through it. Got sloppy at college, I'm afraid. *squeezes back*

Hanamura: Alright. *smiles gently and enters his mind again, not as deeply, but brighter, so he can sense her more easily* (Right around here, there's tangles -- you've been picking up on other people again and the imprints don't know where to go, so they form strands. You need to pull those out -- here: ) *tugs at an easier one, and lets it go*

Taki: *listens and observes, picturing the tangles and strands Aoi's referring to after a bit of hesitation, grabs the end of one that doesn't look too knotted and starts to pull slowly*

Hanamura: (You're doing well.) *keeps helping, loosening some of the fiercer knots*
Hanamura: (...?) *senses a break in the forest of knots, one that's not meant to be there* (Haginosuke, wait.)
Hanamura: *something isn't right; it's as though the strands were clotting around this fissure -- without them, there's a space in his shield that leaves him unprotected. That must be how the strands got in...*

Taki: *waits* (What is it?)

Hanamura: (I'm going to repair this myself.) *and does so, crafting a psionic patch that should hold until he can mend the shield himself, without others' imprints infecting the hole like so much bacteria -- it takes a bit more work than just weeding, but it's certainly not too difficult*
Hanamura: *satisfied, withdraws again, and meets his eyes* How do you feel?

Taki: Better. A little flimsy, but better.

Hanamura: It should hold until it grafts into your own shield. *frowns* I don't know how that happened.

Taki: But you saw what I was talking about, right? About it being punched through? *settles back on the sofa, looking a bit tired*

Hanamura: I did. And you say that happened when we re-shielded Ryoma?

Taki: Before, when I talked to him on the journals the first time. I picked up imprints all day after. Thought he did it, that the collar glitched somehow but you said he'd synch the whole campus if it was him.

Hanamura: *nods* He would. I ... I can't think of anyone recently added to our roster that would be able to do that. We have no other telepaths on campus. Except ...
Hanamura: What have you been able to find out about Inui-kun?

Taki: Very little, other than he likes science. He's not very forthcoming with information, concrete facts, anyway. His mind seems very disciplined, no stray thoughts anywhere, but there is undeniably something hidden about him.
Taki: I haven't tried to read him yet nor have I discovered anything pertinent regarding his mutation. However, I may be able to get a demonstration of what he can do.

Hanamura: I can't read him. *wry smile* I haven't been able to determine why.
Hanamura: If you do find that it's something related to his mutation, keep me informed. He was ... well, as you say, not very forthcoming.
Hanamura: I think that keeping him here may be better than not, in the long run. Keep close, as you have been, but ... be careful. *smooths a hand over his forehead again*

Taki: *nods* I will see what I can do. Are there any other people of note on campus?

Hanamura: None that I think could do this to you, if that's what you're asking. The rest of the students and faculty, you'll meet soon enough. I'll let you form your own opinions before giving you mine.

Taki: *nods slowly* Haven't seen enough to be swayed one way or another about most of them but there's one person in particular that bugs me.

Hanamura: Oh?

Taki: Fuji Shuusuke. I don't trust him.

Hanamura: Fuji-kun does talk a lot, but he lacks the drive to accomplish anything of note. I had reason to believe that his powers hadn't reached their full potential, and may never, if he continues as he has.
Hanamura: I haven't had the opportunity to take a good look at his mind recently, but perhaps I'll drop in on a class to see if there's any real cause for alarm.

Taki: Perhaps. *eyes open a fraction and unfocus* I'd be wary of that one, if I were you, Aoi. Much about him seems hidden, especially from himself. *eyes close again*

Hanamura: I'll keep an eye on him. Perhaps you should, too; he may be more likely to try to talk with you than with me.

Taki: *nods* I intend to. He's too dangerous to leave unchecked.

Hanamura: Thank you, Haginosuke. *gentle smile, change of subject* Will you be alright out here tonight?

Taki: *nods again* I should be. Bring me a blanket, love? *smiles back*

Hanamura: *such a flatterer...* *retrieves a blanket from her bed and covers him with it* *close to his ear* You know if you need to, I'm just through that door.

Taki: *soft smile, turns to brush a kiss against her cheek* I know. I'll come to you if I need anything.

Hanamura: *kisses his cheek in return* Goodnight, Haginosuke.

Taki: Goodnight, Aoikins. Sleep well.

Hanamura: *retires to her bedroom*

Taki: *curls up under the blanket and goes to sleep*


*meanwhile, back on the roof*

Yuuta: *hears the door opening and closing a few times* *glances up from the telescope* ...Where'd they go?

Fuji: Who knows ... but now we're all alone, Yuuta. <3

Yuuta: ... Going to reveal that you're an alien now? *smirks just a bit*

Fuji: You won't know until you do an examination. *smiles*

Yuuta: I'm no scientist so I'll leave it to the real deal. *turns to Fuji* So were you
always my brother, or did you do some sort of body snatching thing?

Fuji: ... I wonder. ^_^

Yuuta: *raises a brow* Or maybe you're a zombie.

Fuji: Here to eat your brains?

Yuuta: Something like that. Is that why you lured me up here?

Fuji: Mm, I wanted to look at the stars. *sits on the floor and looks out over campus, scanning for Taki and Inui*

Yuuta: *watches him for a moment before heading over, sitting next to Fuji* Never really did this before, but it's nice out.

Fuji: *laughs* Maybe for you. *leans against him* You're warm.

Yuuta: *glances at him, then looks back out to the sky* Not my fault you didn't dress warmly enough; you'd be a popsicle if it weren't for me. *says so lightly*

Fuji: Are you saying I can't count on you to keep me warm?

Yuuta: *frowns* I didn't say that.

Fuji: *snuggles closer* Good.

Yuuta: *frowns again, somewhat embarrassed by the closeness* Oi, don't fall asleep on me.

Fuji: If I do, you can wake me.

Yuuta: And drag your butt home? I'm not that strong...

Fuji: You wouldn't carry me? I bet you could. ^^

Yuuta: Hey, you're the older one. Shouldn't you be the one carrying me?

Fuji: *nuzzles his shoulder* But you're stronger.

Yuuta: Funny how that turned out, huh?

Fuji: I don't mind.

Yuuta: *glances over at Fuji* Guess not.
Yuuta: *pokes him* So why'd you wanna look at the stars? Looking for your planet?

Fuji: Maybe. It's been a while since I've seen them.
Fuji: What do you think of Inui-sensei and Taki-san?

Yuuta: Yeah, you kinda forget they're there sometimes.
Yuuta: *blinks at the question* What do I think about them? ...Well, I dunno anything about Taki-san. Inui-sensei's okay... a little boring sometimes in class though.

Fuji: Mmm. *goes quiet*

Yuuta: Why do you ask?

Fuji: *thinks of how to put this for at least a full minute* ...

Yuuta: *brow raises, and he pokes Fuji again*

Fuji: *laughs* I'm starting a business.

Yuuta: *blinks* A business? *pause* ...You?

Fuji: *nods* Mmhmm.

Yuuta: ...What sort of business?

Fuji: Hmm ... an outreach program.
Fuji: Non-profit, I think. I'm still looking into the specifics.

Yuuta: *pauses* Kinda weird to think about you starting a business... *frowns as he realizes they're growing up*

Fuji: I was hoping to find out if they would want to help me. I can't do it alone, after all.
Fuji: But you will, right?

Yuuta: Me? Not sure if I can really do anything.

Fuji: Hm, you can help spread the word, right? Rin's going to be designing some brochures for us ...

Yuuta: Huh... wow, you're getting all the teachers involved with this?

Fuji: I might. It depends on what they say.

Yuuta: *nods slightly* Well, I guess I could help like that. Well, what sort of ideas do you have for this business?

Fuji: Hm ... organizing events, maybe afterschool programs ... help kids, help the community. That sort of thing.

Yuuta: *smiles a bit* That sounds really cool.

Fuji: I'm hoping so.

Yuuta: *nods* Well, if there's anything you'd like me to help with, I'm game.

Fuji: Thank you. *snuggles* Hm. Maybe we should get home.

Yuuta: Yeah, sorta getting late. And I can't keep ya warm all night.

Fuji: But you will, won't you?

Yuuta: *pauses, thinking* I'd try.

Fuji: Good enough. ^_^

Yuuta: *smiles a bit* Okay, get your lazy butt up.

Fuji: *gets to his feet*

Yuuta: *stands as well* Let's go?

Fuji: Let's. ^_^

*They head for home.*
