[ Fuu-chan ] - Episode 2 - Concerns
Sasuke goes from confused and oblivious to... well, even more confused and oblivious. Sometimes, voicing your thoughts out really doesn't help.
It's early in the morning, and Sasuke has gone to the baths, keen on having a bath while no one's around getting a headstart on the day. He's taken Fuu-chan with him to enjoy the moment. Fuu-chan has her own little wooden basin filled with water, a few rocks and greenery... ...
Sasuke: *sighs in appreciation as he slips into the baths, eyes half-closed* Ahhh... The water's really nice... Isn't it, Fuu-chan? *he glances over at the small basin on the side of the baths, peering at the frog that's swimming around*
Fuu-chan: ... *swim*
Sasuke: ... That's what I thought. *he sinks lower into the bath, leaning against the ledge and gazing up at the ceiling in thought. His brows are furrowed, and he seems troubled.*
Fuu-chan: *as if on cue...* ... Rib?
Sasuke: *small shake of the head* Hm, it's nothing that's worth listening to...
Sasuke: ...
Sasuke: ... Why do people keep looking away from me?
Fuu-chan: *swimming~*
Sasuke: Maybe I look weird... I mean, I don't care how I look... But it's still a little troubling... *frowns*
Sasuke: ... And it's mostly the girls that keep looking away from me. Futch, Eugene and Kidd seem perfectly fine with things... And the other guys...
Fuu-chan: *croak*
Sasuke: ... No! *eyes widen*
Fuu-chan: *croooak?*
Sasuke: ... They don't think I'm... gay... right!? *he's blushing a little now... or maybe that's just the hot water?*
Fuu-chan: *ribbit*
Sasuke: That... Maybe that's why the girls keep looking away from me! They don't want to imagine it... or something!
Sasuke: ... And, and the other males are... *trails off*
Sasuke: ... ... No. I'm being irrational.
Sasuke: ... It'd be the other way around. Females wouldn't mind looking at me since I wouldn't take their gaze to mean something else, and the males would be avoiding at me. That's right... Right, Fuu-chan?
Fuu-chan: *ribrib*
Sasuke: ... *sigh of relief* That's lucky... I wouldn't want to be like that pirate.
Sasuke: ... And Kasumi... she...
Sasuke: ... *mumbling*
Fuu-chan: *hops onto the rocks*
Sasuke: ... and... geh. *he slowly looks down, lazily splashing his face with the water* ... eh... I could go for a massage right now...
Sasuke: I wonder if frogs can get massages... *absently brushes a few strands of wet hair away from his eyes*
Sasuke: Do you think we should try, Fuu-chan?
Fuu-chan: *rib*
Sasuke: Hn... That's right, I wouldn't want to risk getting you injured. It's probably a bad idea. *shakes his head a little in a half-hearted attempt at getting water out, and finally looks at Fuu-chan* What can frogs ge--
Fuu-chan: *... jump!*
Sasuke: --eeyaaaAAAAH!! NO! FUU-CHA-- *he quickly lunges forward in an attempt to catch Fuu-chan as she flies through the air, towards the hot steamy water of the baths. In his clumsy move, he ends up face-first in the water* -- aa-glub-argaan...
Fuu-chan: *lands on the back of Sasuke's head!*
Sasuke: *gurgle blub incoherency here*
Fuu-chan: *ribbit* ^^*
Sasuke: ... *blluuuub!!*
Fuu-chan: *we all know frogs go la-dee-da-dee-da*
Sasuke: ... *gurgles a little more... and finally picks Fuu-chan off his head with care, surfacing with an agitated, yet worried looking expression* Th... That was dangerous! *he holds Fuu-chan out in front of his face, nose almost touching Fuu-chan's whilst he kneels* I can't believe you did that!
Fuu-chan: ... *ribbit!*
Sasuke: ... *frowns and finally moves back to sit comfortably* ... And I can't stay angry at you long, either. *he sighs, rising out of the baths and depositing Fuu-chan back on the top of his head*
Fuu-chan: *ribbit?*
Sasuke: No, we're not staying here any longer... Not when you're so excitable today... *sigh* Let's go, Fuu-chan...
