[Phone Log] Oishi & Eiji
Rating: G
When: After the giant mess
Where: Oishi's house, Eiji's house
Summary: Oishi finally calls Eiji to clear up this golden drama.
Eiji: -flops into his bed, cellphone in hand and uses his other hand to rub at his eyes- Oishi...-lays on his stomach and stares at his phone, waiting almost desperately for it to ring-
Oishi: -leans back into his desk chair and stares at the address book number for a few long seconds before hitting 'call'- Hm…
Eiji: -panics as the phone actually rings and fumbles, eyes wide before he manages to scoop it back up and then hesitates before actually answering- Oishi...-pause- I’m so sorry that I said all of those things to you and I didn’t actually mean them I just felt really bad when I read that article and I saw things happen at the fanmeet that hurt and then you didn’t tell me anything and then I saw your journal entry and I thought you didn’t want to see me anymore and it made me really sad and I know I should have called you and everyone’s been yelling at me. -finally stops to breathe-
Oishi: -blinks and tries to replay all those words slowly in his mind, his line of the phone silent for some time- E-Eiji. I... wha...? -sighs softly- Are you sick...? Your voice is hoarse. … Can I explain everything from the beginning?
Eiji: I'm not sick...-voice very quiet and sniffles a little- Okay...from the beginning. -curls up on the bed and pulls his blanket tightly around his body-
Oishi: -groans quietly and tries not to glower at the gossip column up on his computer screen- Mn, well... that first fan I met asked me out. I really wasn’t expecting it but... I thought it would be nice if I was her idol to take her to the second year formal. I guess I didn’t think it was that big a deal so I didn’t tell you about it. All that stuff in the article about me having a girlfriend isn’t true though. … You were worried it would take time away from us, right?
Eiji: I... -hesitates a little and sighs quietly- I was worried I would get in your way ... When someone has a girlfriend they want to spend time with them ... Right? -sniffs a little and tries to make his voice sound not so trembly-
Oishi: Eiji... -exhales a little laugh of disbelief- You should have asked me about it if you were worried. Mn, I know you talked to me but... I’m kind of hard-headed so you should go easy on me and just tell me outright. -chuckles softly- And I don’t have a girlfriend, promise.
Eiji: -sniffs again and whimpers a little- But what if I told you outright and then I made you feel horrible because you had to choose between me and her? She sounds so happy and she even supported me when I was angry and said I wanted to play singles... -sniffs again, voice breaking a little as he said the last sentence-
Oishi: I know you wouldn’t do that. -sighs again and squirms a little in his chair listening to all the sniffling- And... at least in that scenario I’d have a choice. You decided before I’d even talked to you that I would rather have some girl than you. Hm... do I really seem like I value our friendship that little? -pauses a moment- You’re not going to play singles though, right?
Eiji: You know... In anime when friends get angry at each other and they stop talking... I didn't want you to get angry at me. -goes quiet for a moment- are you angry at me...? -continues on before Oishi can answer almost as if he's scared of the answer- Tezuka said he would put me into singles but I think he'd be happier if we played together..
Oishi: … Hm, well. In that case I’m sorry for not talking to you sooner. I thought if I gave you some space we’d stop fighting. And I’m not angry with you. Not at all. … You’re not angry with me are you? For ignoring you. -smile evident in his voice- I’d be happier to keep playing with you too.
Eiji: Not angry...sad...-pause for a moment and shuffles further under the blanket- Do you like her, Oishi...?
Oishi: -stands up to pace about his room- Sad...? -quietly thinks about the question for some time- She’s nice enough but... I don’t know. -sighs and sounds increasingly frustrated with himself- I don’t know... I’ve never really had that kind of feeling for a girl. … That’s odd, right?
Eiji: It's really lonely when I think about what it's like without you...-shuffling sounds heard over the phone as he rolls over and sniffs- She was nice to me when everyone else was yelling at me...-ignores the ache in his chest when talking nice things about the girl Oishi is about to date- I've never really liked a girl before.
Oishi: Don’t think about things like that. I wouldn’t just leave you no matter what happens. -worried hum at realizing Eiji’s probably been crying- I... I saw that post of yours. She seemed nice to you. … Can I tell you something, Eiji?
Eiji: No matter what...? At all...? -takes a deep breath and rubs at his eyes- She said nice things and stood up for me when some other people kept telling me how stupid I was being...-trails off a little and sniffs again, thinking about the comments again- Oishi can tell me anything...
Oishi: No matter what. You know, I don’t think anyone else was trying to be mean, they all seem worried about you. Mn, and...it, it’s just that... -sits down on the side of his bed and stares absently at the floor- I wonder if maybe I agreed to go out with that girl for the wrong reasons. Like I was trying to force myself to like her. You’ve never liked a girl either, doesn’t that worry you...? I haven’t thought about it lately but... I see boyfriends and girlfriends all over campus and I just...
Eiji: It doesn't really worry me...-pauses to think about it for a moment- well...I've never really thought about it because of everything I'm doing...tennis and music and ... Games. -sits up in bed now and pushes the blanket off to hug his knees tightly- Are you...-silence as he hesitates- are you lonely...? If you want a girlfriend...then maybe...you should...-can't finish off the sentence for some reason...-
Oishi: -listens quietly for a while and rubs the back of his neck anxiously- It doesn’t bother you... Yeah. I guess we’re too busy for that kind of thing, especially lately. And it’s not that, I have lots of people to keep me company and I’ve never really worried about it before but... that fan event just made me think about it. … I’m happy, with what I have now.
Eiji: -sounds a little bit sad- but you still said yes to a date right...? So you're looking for something...? -thinks for a moment- does it feel like something is missing...? You think about what it's like to kiss someo.. -stops abruptly and quickly fixes himself- a girl?
Oishi: I said yes but I don’t think it’s anything like that... I told you I’m happy with the way things are. -groans and falls back on his bed, completely unsure of what he’s trying to say- Girls... it’s like, I think of them like my little sister. -tries to cover up that he didn’t answer that last question-
Eiji: Hm...I guess you wouldn't think about kissing your little sister...-pauses for a little while and lays back down on the bed, more relaxed now and stares at the ceiling- Are you going to kiss that girl on your date...? -asks a more direct question now because Oishi didn't answer the last one-
Oishi: I-I, well that... -rolls over on his side and stares at his alarm clock, chewing his lip- E-Eiji you’re making me even more nervous... -sighs again and weighs his options- I hadn’t thought about that. Is it rude if I don’t or... would it be cruel to do it when I don’t mean it? I don’t want my first kiss to be with just anyone either. -laughs nervously- Sounds silly but... it’s important to me.
Eiji: -sighs a little, sounding really sad because he it sounds like Oishi is nervous because he wants to make a good impression on her despite everything he's said so far- I've never been out with a girl before...I don't know what kind of rules you're supposed to follow. *makes a little thoughtful sound- what kind of person do you want to kiss...?
Oishi: What sort of person...? W-well you know... someone I really care about. I don’t think I have a ‘type’ or anything like that. … Do you have a type? Have you thought about it?
Eiji: Hm... It would have to be someone fun. Someone who would go to the amusement park with me and makes me feel comfy. -a little smile now shows in his voice- someone who won't laugh at my toothpaste obsession maybe...
Oishi: -listens with a soft chuckle- Definitely sounds like Eiji... -lets out a quiet grunt as he sits up and crosses the room to shut his computer off- Maybe you’ll find a girl who collects mouthwash or something, heh. -thinks over his partner’s words for a few silent seconds- Someone fun... would be nice, I think. Someone who could take my mind off committee and homework...
Eiji: -laughs at the idea of having a toothpaste collection next to a mouthwash collection- Yeah...I think so too. If Oishi didn’t have someone fun to do that, you would like have a meltdown before you finish high school. -voice sounds a little more soft as he continues talking- You do too many things...
Oishi: A meltdown... -laughs hard and relaxes back into his bed, quieting after a moment and sounding somewhat concerned again- … you really think it’s that bad...? Hm, I have been taking a lot of anxiety medication lately... -sighs- You were worried I wouldn’t spend as much time with you because of a girl... but... do I spend enough time with you now?
Eiji: Oishi! You shouldn't need to take that...-pout can be heard in his voice- you do too much ... -pauses at suddenly being asked that question and stays quiet for a little while- we play tennis together... And our days off sometimes ... And soon we'll be living in the same building ... -doesn't know how to answer the actual question, how much time are friends supposed to spend together?-
Oishi: I know, I know. You’ve told me before... -tugs at the hem of his shirt during the silence on the other end- I-I guess you’re right. Sometimes it just feels like I take it for granted... that you’re always around.
Eiji: Nya...? -wonders if Oishi has been thinking about that a lot- Do you want me around more...? You're always so busy so...
Oishi: I-it’s not that. But while you weren’t talking to me I had a lot of time to think about it. You were concerned about me leaving and taking time away from you so... maybe I don’t say it enough, but I... I really like having you as a friend.
Eiji: You're one of my best friends... -laughs a little- you and Fuji... I'm sorry, Oishi. Gakuto kept yelling at me to talk to you... And Ryou...-sounds a little sad as he said that-
Oishi: Because they were worried about you, ne? Your attitude changed so drastically in that post... But, no matter what happened, we’re talking now right? -smiles and runs a hand back through his hair- I should have talked to you earlier too, about this silly misunderstanding. In the future though... don’t believe anything in that gossip column.
Eiji: -goes quiet for a while- but it wasn't completely wrong, right? You had a date with her so... did you always want to take a girl to a dance? -sits back up again and fidgets- It is our last year in that school..
Oishi: It wasn’t completely wrong. -laughs softly- And what are you asking all of a sudden? You make it sound like I’m girl crazy or something. You know me, I’ve never talked about wanting to do anything like that. Mn, besides... I don’t really need something that formal, if I really liked someone it wouldn’t matter where we went. You know?
Eiji: Well you're surrounded by girls, right? Like that time I was outside your house so I wonder maybe you think about it because of that. -pauses a little and voice goes softer- do you like anyone, Oishi?
Oishi: I-involuntarily surrounded. -groans tiredly and turns to face the wall adjacent to his sister’s room- … Eiji, why are you asking me that?
Eiji: I'm your best friend, right? -goes quiet for a moment- aren't I allowed to ask these questions?
Oishi: Yeah but, you’ve never asked me anything like that before... I don’t really like any girls right now. How about you? There’s that girl that always comes out to practice to watch you.
Eiji: The topic never really came up before...-thinks about it for a moment- well I don't think I like anyone right now but I've never really thought about it. That girl...you think I should ask her out? We could doubledate. -laughs-
Oishi: -joins him in a long laugh- That’s the Golden Pair, right? Together even on dates. … You want to keep an eye on me? -hums, sounding intrigued-
Eiji: Make sure you don't start studying in the middle of the date. -chuckles at the idea- See how the girls react when they find out what you're really like behind your singing and tennis playing. -nestles down all the way under the blanket again, a little cheeky smile on his face- The serious side of Oishi.
Oishi: -chuckles uncomfortably- Y-you make it sound really disappointing to date me. That’s really cruel, Eiji. But anyway, I think I’ll do fine on my own... you don’t have to worry about me.
Eiji: -makes a little sad whine- You want to be alone with your girlfriend huh, Oishi? I suppo~se. Should leave you alone in that case. -starts to sound sad again-
Oishi: … What were you going to do otherwise? Follow us? A-and I told you, she’s not my girlfriend... -lets out an exasperated groan- Do you really not want me to go...?
Eiji: -goes a little quiet for a while- no...you should go. I don't want to stop you from doing things. -sighs a little- You should go and have a really fun time while you're at it. You don't go out enough.
Oishi: … When I get back, want to go to the arcade? They have that new machine you wanted to play, right? -tries to sound a little more encouraging after listening to all those sighs- I’ll treat you.
Eiji: -sniffs, feeling a little hurt still because of the date- Won't you be late because you'll need to take her home and ... Everything? We won't get in trouble for leaving the apartments at night? -not that he really cared about being in trouble-
Oishi: Ah, that’s right... -so used to their routine he’d forgotten- And it won’t take long to bring her home. If you think we’ll get in trouble we can just stay in...
Eiji: I don't mind sneaking out... But..-pauses a moment- you're not like me -short laugh- I'm a bad influence, right? I want to... Spend more time with you.
Oishi: … That’s why I asked earlier, Eiji... -laughs and rolls over onto his back with a creak from the bed- If I was spending enough time with you... as long as we get back before it’s too late it’ll be all right. You... -clears throat- I saw you already worked on your song so...
Eiji: I... I finished it already. Do you... Want to hear it? -hesitates a little, nervous about the song he wrote- I can ... Send you my demo..? -fidgets on the bed-
Oishi: Ah, you’re already finished, that’s a relief. -smiles wide- Y-yeah, send it to me. You finished before I did this time, so I definitely have to treat you to something. I still have to record mine... I liked the lyrics you posted though...
Eiji: parfait...? -grins- I... I was inspired to write this song so it came together really quickly -nervous laugh- I'm glad you don't think it's corny...
Oishi: Parfait, hah. All right. And I actually... really like it. -sounds a little flustered- T-the lyrics are kind of what... made me call you tonight.
Eiji: -goes quiet for a while when in actuality he is bright red- my lyrics...? Oishi ... You think that way..? I was really sad when I wrote them ... -shufflings sounds as Eiji gets up and attaches a song to an email and sends it- I'll show you what the song sounds like. -clicks send all without realizing, crawls back into bed-
Oishi: Mn well... I don’t know if you intended it but... when I read them I thought... ‘We really do have that kind of friendship, huh? So it would be sad if it ended over an argument like this.’ -pauses a moment and makes thoughtful, increasingly nervous sounds in the silence- I’ll listen to it~
Eiji: -laughs a little- Yeah...it feels like I’ve known you forever, Oishi. It would have been lonely if we never talked again. -nestles back down under the blanket and stretches a little with a groan- I hope you don’t think it sounds really corny. I used a lot of piano this time...
Oishi: I won’t, I won’t. Ah, but since it’s getting late, can I give my review in the morning? I don’t want to cause you to oversleep. … You’re happy now, right? No more talk about playing singles?
Eiji: -yawns a little bit and mumbles an agreeing kind of sound into the phone- Yeah...I want to play tennis with Oishi...-settles down into the bed and tries to get comfortable- happy nya~.
Oishi: -laughs softly at the sleepiness in his friend’s voice- Good. Goodnight, Eiji. -waits for a response before realizing he’d already fallen asleep, and hangs up-
When: After the giant mess
Where: Oishi's house, Eiji's house
Summary: Oishi finally calls Eiji to clear up this golden drama.

Oishi: -blinks and tries to replay all those words slowly in his mind, his line of the phone silent for some time- E-Eiji. I... wha...? -sighs softly- Are you sick...? Your voice is hoarse. … Can I explain everything from the beginning?
Eiji: I'm not sick...-voice very quiet and sniffles a little- Okay...from the beginning. -curls up on the bed and pulls his blanket tightly around his body-

Oishi: … That’s why I asked earlier, Eiji... -laughs and rolls over onto his back with a creak from the bed- If I was spending enough time with you... as long as we get back before it’s too late it’ll be all right. You... -clears throat- I saw you already worked on your song so...
Eiji: I... I finished it already. Do you... Want to hear it? -hesitates a little, nervous about the song he wrote- I can ... Send you my demo..? -fidgets on the bed-
Oishi: Ah, you’re already finished, that’s a relief. -smiles wide- Y-yeah, send it to me. You finished before I did this time, so I definitely have to treat you to something. I still have to record mine... I liked the lyrics you posted though...
Eiji: parfait...? -grins- I... I was inspired to write this song so it came together really quickly -nervous laugh- I'm glad you don't think it's corny...
Oishi: Parfait, hah. All right. And I actually... really like it. -sounds a little flustered- T-the lyrics are kind of what... made me call you tonight.
Eiji: -goes quiet for a while when in actuality he is bright red- my lyrics...? Oishi ... You think that way..? I was really sad when I wrote them ... -shufflings sounds as Eiji gets up and attaches a song to an email and sends it- I'll show you what the song sounds like. -clicks send all without realizing, crawls back into bed-
Oishi: Mn well... I don’t know if you intended it but... when I read them I thought... ‘We really do have that kind of friendship, huh? So it would be sad if it ended over an argument like this.’ -pauses a moment and makes thoughtful, increasingly nervous sounds in the silence- I’ll listen to it~
Eiji: -laughs a little- Yeah...it feels like I’ve known you forever, Oishi. It would have been lonely if we never talked again. -nestles back down under the blanket and stretches a little with a groan- I hope you don’t think it sounds really corny. I used a lot of piano this time...
Oishi: I won’t, I won’t. Ah, but since it’s getting late, can I give my review in the morning? I don’t want to cause you to oversleep. … You’re happy now, right? No more talk about playing singles?
Eiji: -yawns a little bit and mumbles an agreeing kind of sound into the phone- Yeah...I want to play tennis with Oishi...-settles down into the bed and tries to get comfortable- happy nya~.
Oishi: -laughs softly at the sleepiness in his friend’s voice- Good. Goodnight, Eiji. -waits for a response before realizing he’d already fallen asleep, and hangs up-
