Comments: OMG Gakuto's first finished log! And it's with Sanada! Comments are very welcome! >.>
Of course the stupid cafeteria was crowded. Gakuto glared out over it while balancing his tray stuffed with an assortment of sweets, a couple of semi-nutritious pizza slices and a small can of mango juice thrown in, and pondered where he ought to sit. He spotted an almost empty table and made his way towards it, before he realized Kikumaru was sitting there. And what was worse, his egghead of a partner was obviously on his way there, looking brain dead as usual. and Gakuto decided that no, that wasn't the place he wanted to sit. He would have to chew Kikumaru out some other time. All though he couldn't help but purposely bump into the Egghead on his way towards the other end of the cafeteria. There was another almost empty table there, where someone was sitting. Rikkai, right? If only he could remember the dope's name... Well, maybe it wasn't important. He slammed his tray down and crashed down onto his chair, immediately starting to unwrap a chocolate bar. "Man, that looks gross," he said, pointing at the Rikkai person's food. Ew.
Sanada had gotten to the cafeteria before it had completely filled up and managed not only to get an empty table to himself, but manage to keep it mostly empty. Or at least, empty enough that the seats around him weren't taken. He had a sneaking suspicion it was his 'why are you approaching this table?' look that he gave people as they neared him. So, as some redheaded player - Sanada was automatically reminded of Marui upon spotting the amount of sugar loaded food on the tray, and randomly wondered how many red headed doubles players liked sugar - sat at his table, he automatically looked up and glowered at them. The random comment about the remaining food on his plate didn't help. "... It's nutritious." he said, gritting his teeth. "Better than what you're eating." That was why the other one was a shrimp. That was all.
"Don't diss it if you haven't tried it," Gakuto huffed, completely ignoring the fact that he had dissed the Rikkai's food just seconds ago. "Man, you look like the Grump God forgot. Who crawled up your ass anyway?" And with that he stuffed his mouth full with half of the chocolate bar.
"Your food's disgusting and unhealthy. I wouldn't try it." He frowned at the comment though. Sanada did not understand that at all. Well, he understood the tone it had been said with, but... The Grump God? He made a mental note to ask Renji about it later, since he would obviously know all about it. "... No one." Sanada drank a bit of chlorophyll juice, trying to keep his mind on that, rather than the half a chocolate bar rolling around the inside of... the red-head's mouth. Yuck.
"Your loss," Gakuto managed between chews. He downed a mouthful of mango juice and then frowned. "Listen. I hate talking with no-names. So. What is your name? You're uh... Yanagi, right? Or something like that? The stiff from Rikkai?"
Well... at least he'd managed to name someone from Rikkai. That sort of counted for something. And given that Sanada didn't know the person's name either, except for the fact that they played doubles, they went to Hyotei and, in the few moments that they'd been sitting at the same table, that they were very annoying as well. "... Sanada Genichirou." He frowned. "I only know Atobe from Hyotei."
"Everyone knows Atobe," Gakuto huffed. "That's not a great achievement. Mukahi Gakuto." He started on something that could probably pass of as a mochi... But it was oddly shaped after being squished underneath the mango juice can. "Oh! You're that Furinkazan guy, right?"
"He's very noticeable." Sanada said, poking around in his plate of food with his chopsticks. He nodded though, as Gakuto introduced himself, feeling slightly better at no longer having to refer to him as the-hyotei-player-who-is-like-Marui in his mind. Sanada blinked at the exclamation and nodded. "Yes." Well that was... good. "You're the acrobatic doubles player." Ah, he located a piece of meat. This was... an awkward conversation to say the least.
Well, yeah." Gakuto divided the mochi with his chopsticks and plucked up one of the pieces. "Been doing more acrobatics than tennis lately. And you? You okay with rotting away here?"
Sanada 'hn'-ed as Gakuto spoke, nodding his head as though yes, he was actually really interested in this conversation. Though, the question made him stop for a moment. Rotting away? "I'm not rotting away here." he said, his eyebrows drawing together slightly. "Training is training." Right? No matter where he was, as long as he kept up his training schedule everything was fine. "Atobe's being a lazy former captain."
"Well, don't you think everyone rotting away here? Some of you guys could go pro, and you don't. You still play school tennis. And you're stuck in a boarding school in the middle of no where. If that's not rotting, I don't know what is."
"I'm not going pro until I finish school." Backup plans were always a good idea, he wasn't an idiot. Besides, it wasn't like there wasn't a challenge or anything amongst the other players at the camp. And if the group of them went pro, they'd just end up playing each other anyway. It made sense in his mind. "We're playing tennis. That's what's important."
“Riiiiiiight." Gakuto shrugged and started on his next piece of junk food. "So... Taki said there isn't much tennis here anyway. So what do people do around here? Screw around?"
Ah. Taki was Niou's previous roommate. "There's tennis if you talk to certain people." Like Yukimura, for example. He had a feeling that Gakuto's question was referring to the... slang use of screw. "... Some people do." Sanada was not going to name names or anything. That would be rude.
Obviously enough. And some even brought their drama to the online world, if Echizen's latest entry was anything to go by. Well, it was entertaining at least. "Huh. Do you?"
Sanada's eyes narrowed at the question. "No I don't." Did he look like someone who "screwed around"? Assuming that he had the right definition of the term in the first place, of course. But... was that something you generally asked a complete stranger? "Why?" Well, Sanada could only assume that they had a good reason for asking something like that.
"Just curious." Gakuto smirked and toyed with his can of apple juice. "You taken?"
That was not a good reason, and that was not a good question to ask. Sanada stared at Gakuto, almost like he couldn't believe he was asking that. Which he couldn't, really. "Yes, I am." he answered eventually, drinking some more chlorophyll juice after speaking.
"Bummer." The former Hyoutei player grinned at the stare, apparently Grumpypants here was easy to rattle. Well, that was good to know, should he ever get bored. "Bet you're really hot in bed too." He laughed loudly, not caring if the entire cafeteria turned around to stare at him. "But really..." He stopped laughing and instead weighed haphazardly on his chair. "Lemme guess. Yukimura?"
... He could not believe Gakuto had just said that to his face. Sanada just frowned at him, not really sure how to reply. How did one reply to a comment like that? Aside from splutter and look like a fish - something he was not planning on doing. He was rather thankful when Gakuto continued talking... and then not so thankful when he proceeded to attempt to guess who he was in a relationship with. "No."
"Really? No?" Gakuto smirked and weighed the chair even further back. "I thought you'd be all over his little buchou ass by now."
Where on earth had this person gotten that crazy idea from? "Yukimura is my friend." Sanada said, feeling rather against eating now. The awkward conversation was beginning to really get to him.
"Oh?" Gakuto sucked thoughtfully on his teeth for a moment, then grinned. "Not a fuck buddy then?" He allowed his chair to get back on its four feet and popped in another mochi in his mouth. "That's a bummer. But I guess you're too boring to work with the alternative stuff, aren't you, Rikkai-san?"
Sanada was deeply against that term. 'Fuck buddy'. He did not at all enjoy the memories that came along with it. Gakuto's words after that confused him though. "Alternative stuff?" He tried to ignore what he'd been called.
"Well, you know?" Gakuto grinned. "Things not vanilla?" This was fun, but he couldn't help but wonder when he would end up getting a sock to the head, really.
He didn't really like where he thought this conversation was headed. Thing not vanilla... Sanada frowned over the phrase a bit. "Things that aren't traditional?" he tried. ... Wait. "Why was what a 'bummer'?" Sanada did not like Gakuto's way of speaking.
"Because you'd be more fun if you branched out more, of course." Gakuto grinned and resisted the urge to reach out and ruffle Sanada's hair. That would just be rude.
Sanada was silent at the reason Gakuto gave. And silent for a bit after that as well. "I don't know what you're talking about." he said, pushing his plate away from him.
"You're not getting all grumpy on me now, are you?" Gakuto smirked. "You know, you're damn easy to read, Sanada-kuuun~"
"No I'm not." Which was sort of the truth. He wasn't exactly grumpy about the entire conversation. It was just getting on his nerves a bit. He didn't really have anything to say to the second sentence though. "I was being honest."
"Honest?" Gakuto blinked. "What... There are still people like that around?" He laughed. "I don't believe it!"
And the laughter just managed to confuse him even more. "Yes there are honest people here." Sanada took the surprise and laughter to meant to Gakuto wasn't honest. "Why it is hard to believe?"
"Because people scam and cheat and mess up all over the place," the plumhaired player managed when he had calmed down, his expression sobering down quite a bit.
Sanada's eyes narrowed slightly as Gakuto finally calmed down enough to answer. "... You should try being honest." he mumbled, finishing his glass of chlorophyll juice. "It's not hard."
"Why should I?" Gakuto frowned. "Rarely others are."
"It's polite." he said. Then he paused, getting a sudden thought. "You're not polite often either." that was a statement, not a question.
"Nah." Gakuto shrugged. "I get more than enough of that when I'm at home. I hate it."
Well he didn't really know what to say at that point. He hn-ed and fell silent, rather wishing that he hadn't finished his glass of juice so quickly. Sanada considered getting a refill but... well, no. "Being polite is important." he finally said. "Are you going to keep eating?"
"Nah." Gakuto shrugged. "You're starting to bore the hell outta me." He pouted and got to his feet, nabbing a small slice of food off Sanada's plate. "And this is just gross! I knew it!" He waved dismissively with his hand. "I'll see you around, big guy~!"
And he wasn't at all bothered by the fact that he'd managed to be so boring, he turned someone off eating. Sanada nodded though, not looking at all pleased when Gakuto nabbed a bit of food from his abandoned plate and declared it gross. He mumbled a goodbye and looked down at his plate, pushing it further away from him, managing to nudge away Gakuto's unhealthy plate as well. ... He wasn't going to continue eating after that.
