Summary: Fuji comes by Yuuta's room and they have a little talk. They have their innocent speshul time together, Yuuta declares that he'll protect Fuji, thread snappage is revealed, and Brotherhood snooping will happen.



Fuji: *debates for a moment simply teleporting into Yuuta's room, but decides that he'll be nice today and get there conventionally -- the last time he'd visited that way had not gone well. He makes his way across campus and up to the dorms, and doesn't bother knocking before entering his brother's room.*

Yuuta: *still at his computer surfing the web while expecting a knock on the door soon-- but then again, it's his brother he's waiting for. He hears the door open and close, prompting him to roll his eyes as he spins around in his chair, giving the elder Fuji a pointed glare.* You could've at least knocked.

Fuji: I didn't want to. *smiles and sits on the bed* I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

Yuuta: *doesn't glance back at his computer* No, not really. Since you've set up an appointment, it's all 'you and me' time now. *rolls himself and the chair over toward his bed*

Fuji: *grins* I'm glad to hear that. A whole block of time, just for us ... whatever will we do?

Yuuta: *smirks just a bit, sitting back in his chair* Well, for one thing, you're gonna tell me what you really think about sensei's little pep talk.

Fuji: *chuckles* I think that all depends on what he intended to do with it. It's possible he's just an idiot, but given his previous strategies ... which is to say that any have existed at all ... and that the school's still standing ... Well, it's more likely that he's brilliant.
Fuji: But I don't like it. *shakes his head* I don't like what it means.

Yuuta: *smirk fades, replaced by a slight frown* Well, he made it sound like a friggin' disaster. I don't think anyone likes what it could mean.

Fuji: If he's telling the truth.

Yuuta: *pauses, staring at Fuji for a moment-- the thought hadn't occurred to him at all* Why would sensei lie? *pauses again, then his face slowly contorts into a scowl when it dawns on him that maybe sensei's been lying to him to him as well about X-Prime* Wait, scratch that. Why would sensei lie about something like that?

Fuji: *sighs, and shifts on the bed* I don't know. I just can't discount the possibility ... he didn't say how he knew, or where he got this information, just that it was absolutely going to happen unless we did something about it. I ... don't much like people speaking in certainties like that.

Yuuta: Yeah, seriously. And they keep telling us to cite our info on our papers, too. Hypocrites. *frowns despite making light of the situation* But I dunno. It's sorta freaking some people out though.

Fuji: Exactly. I wonder if maybe that wasn't his intention.
Fuji: Stir things up among the students, freak everyone out ... what would that accomplish?

Yuuta: *ponders, sighing a bit. Tomiyama can be unreasonable (with Yuuta) at times, but that doesn't mean Yuuta wants to think so negatively of him-- he's his instructor, after all. Aren't they supposed to be role models? He scratches his head, frustrated* I don't know... to unite us? But going to the same school sorta already makes us united.

Fuji: It does. So I ... well, I really don't know, and I wish I did. *sighs, smiles a little* Is it silly of me to think that he's the one we ought to be investigating?

Yuuta: *frowns further at the thought* No, not silly. It'd just be kinda weird, I guess... I mean, he's our headmaster and he took us in, you know? He's been pretty good about taking care of us.

Fuji: All the more reason I'm concerned. *and, oddly enough, lets it show*
Fuji: *blinks back his expression, though* I'm sorry. I shouldn't ... I shouldn't make you worry as much as I've been.

Yuuta: ... *was noticeably staring* N-Nah... I guess I didn't realize this could be worse than it really is. Er, in lots of ways. *frowns and picks himself off the chair, sitting next to Fuji. He gives him a little nudge with his shoulder.* It's really bothering you.

Fuji: I don't mean for it to. *rests his head on Yuuta's shoulder* I suppose I can't help it, though ...

Yuuta: *lets him-- it's the least he could do* Well... *glances down* It might sound kinda stupid but, whatever happens, I'll protect you.

Fuji: *smiles again, warmer and genuine, and takes one of Yuuta's hands in both of his* Would you?

Yuuta: *smiles a bit, perhaps a little shy. He squeezes his brother's hands slightly* I would. Not that you really need protecting... you're in X-Prime. *still a little bitter about it*

Fuji: That doesn't have anything to do with this. I still need protecting. So do you. It makes sense we should take care of each other, ne?

Yuuta: *is about to say otherwise but he doesn't feel like being argumentative now* Yeah, it makes the most sense, actually. Brothers should look out for each other. *smiles, but he pauses again, glancing down* Hey, have you talked to neesan lately?

Fuji: *headtilt~?* Not in the past week, no. Why? Did she say something about this?

Yuuta: *having second thoughts* No, not really... nevermind. It's nothing.

Fuji: *concerned and genuinely curious* Tell me?

Yuuta: *frowns. crap, no backing out now* Neesan called the other day. I guess she had another one of her premonitions or whatever. It was about me. ...She was kinda worried, I guess.

Fuji: About you? *squeezes Yuuta's hand, worried himself now* What did she say?

Yuuta: *shrugs slightly, feeling awkward* You know how she is sometimes. Stuff about carpets and tapestries and threads. *frowns, hesitating. should he just say it?* ...It might not really mean anything... you know how weird this stuff could be. I mean, nothing's set in stone, right? And sometimes if you think it's one thing, it really means another. *hedging*

Fuji: I know ... but maybe we can work out what it is?

Yuuta: *nods slightly* Well... don't freak out or anything but, she said something about my thread snapping... whatever the hell that means. *though he does know... maybe*

Fuji: *pales* ... snapping?

Yuuta: Yeah. But... I'm sure it could mean lots of things. *trying to make it not sound as bad as it does*

Fuji: Yuuta ... *takes a breath* What else did she say?

Yuuta: *glances at his brother, frowning-- he already regrets saying so much* Hey... I told you not to freak out. *flicks his forehead*

Fuji: *rubs the spot* I'm not freaking out. *liar*

Yuuta: *frowns, not convinced* Yeah right.

Fuji: *soft smile* ... tell me?

Yuuta: *still frowning, and his gaze wanders downward* She said that something's pulling at mine. It's not going where it's supposed to, and it's gonna... well, snap.

Fuji: ... Do you feel like something's pulling at you?

Yuuta: ...No? I don't think so. *small smile* Maybe neesan's just worried about nothing.

Fuji: You know how things have been ...

Yuuta: Yeah, I know. Which only means nothing's predictable. *he pokes Fuji's cheek*

Fuji: *soft laugh, smiles at him* I'm sure you'll be fine. <3

Yuuta: *grins* I could've told you that.

Fuji: *snuggles closer*

Yuuta: *blah, mushiness. But it couldn't hurt, right? He hugs his brother tightly for just a bit.* I don't think I'm going anywhere. *smiles* Now if only I could get onto that goddamn team.

Fuji: We'll get you there. Don't worry.

Yuuta: I'm not. He's going to cave sometime. There's only so many excuses in the world.

Fuji: I wonder if we could dig up any dirt on him ...

Yuuta: What? And blackmail him? *thoughtful* I dunno... that's not really my sort of style.

Fuji: *chuckles* No, I know. But don't worry. Really. <3

Yuuta: ...*pokes Fuji's side* Uh huh... seriously. No. *pause* Buuuut, investigations work. *nod* We could try and figure out what the hell he was getting at at the assembly.

Fuji: *brightens* That's a good idea. If you could figure out what that was, that'd prove to him ...

Yuuta: That I'm nosy as hell. *grins* We'll see.

Fuji: Or that you're willing to help?

Yuuta: ...That, too. *pause* Even he didn't know what we're up against. Any idea where we could start?

Fuji: I don't know ... he was so vague. *frown*

Yuuta: Yeah, seriously... well, I guess there's always the default answer. We could check out the Brotherhood for starters.

Fuji: *blinks* That is a good place to start...

Yuuta: *grins a bit* I could use a good fight.

Fuji: Together~?

Yuuta: Tag team battle!

Fuji: *laughs genuinely* It's a great idea.

Yuuta: Only 'cause it was mine. *smiles, glad that his brother isn't so worried anymore* Let's hit them up tomorrow.

Fuji: *nods* Alright. *snuggles close again*
