Tenth Punch

[conflictedrebel]

[recorded xx amount of time after the Souji/Yosuke fight and after he and Yosuke had a deep and meaningful conversation about life. Kanji gently picks up and cuddles his newly evolved Piplup. The Piplup looks up sadly at her trainer and coo's softly.]Damn, I'm sorry that was one of the first things you had to see. Though-- I guess it's a good thing

Action

[tiercelet]

[looking up from the doll he's trying to fix. hey, he has to distract himself somehow, right?]

Decided to wait? [He flinches when he accidentally pricks himself with the needle in his inattention, but tilts his head curiously at Kanji all the same.] For what?

Action

[conflictedrebel]

For-- things. [best answer ever, sob.]

[tiercelet]

[Such eloquence, Kanji. How do you even handle yourself.]

...things. [He grins.] That cleared things up nicely.

[conflictedrebel]

[he deals with himself just fine.]

Yeah-- it's... probably not what you're thinking. [he looks around making sure no ones around.] Okay, this can't leave the room. Promise me you won't tell anybody. Not senpai, not Yosuke-- not even your pokémon.

[tiercelet]

[Gee, when you put it that way...how could he even say no.]

Hmmm I don't know, Kanji. What do you think I'm thinking? [He drops the innocent look, but the grin stays right where it is.] All right, I promise.

[conflictedrebel]

[(evil_grin)]

I dunno, I've stopped from asking and wanting to know what my friends are thinking. I get enough of that from Rise. [but-- ahem... don't tell her he said that--anyways!! He looks to the side.] Me 'n Naoto are dating.

[tiercelet]

[(unsure)]

You are, are you? [Huuuuuge grin.] I thought something was going on. [Well, that and...Rise had tipped him off looooong ago, but that's beside the point!] When did this happen?

[conflictedrebel]

[(evil_grin) (evil_grin) (evil_grin)]

[he clears his throat some-- jeez. when did it get so hard to talk?] Uhh-- y-yeah. It happened sometime around September?

[[ooc | that's... what we're assuming at least!!!]]

[tiercelet]

[(unsure) (unsure) (unsure)]

But that was...a month ago! [Wow, Kanji's sneakier than he looks! He hadn't even noticed anything had changed...but he'd been preoccupied with his own problems lately, too.] You haven't talked to anyone since?

[conflictedrebel]

Nah, we kinda... wanted to keep it quiet for a while? We were gonna announce it soon, but... well this shit happened.

[tiercelet]

I don't blame you. [Merlin sets the doll aside, crossing his legs under him.]

Doesn't mean you can't...spend time with her while keeping quiet about it. Right?

[conflictedrebel]

[he nods.] Yeah, we were gonna try to go on a few dates, but every time we got the chance one of us but we had conflicting schedules.

[tiercelet]

That's rough. [To him, that's just a shame. There's no stopping him from helping them at this point.]

You know, if you want to spend time with her, you could always swap chores around the Centre with me. I don't mind.

[conflictedrebel]

[he perks up at that.] Really? You'd do that for me? Thanks Merlin.
