He could still feel the fat old man's fingers on him. Fat, clammy, wiener like fingers, and they were just disgusting and then even more disgusting and... Ugh. He didn't want to think about it, not if he could help it. The old man creeped him out and then some, and he hated losing control over himself like that. It just wouldn't do. Fuji sighed, slowly opening the door to his room. "I'm home," he called out, just in case his roommate would be there.
Akutsu grumbled something from where he was lying on his bed as the door opened. He looked up at from his pillow to glance over at Fuji. He could tell that something was bothering the tensai, but he really shouldn't care. He was Akutsu. He didn't about what happened to anyone else. Whatever the other did was his own business.
"What's with you?" He let the question slip before he could stop it.
"Nothing much," Fuji replied easily, throwing his backpack onto his bed as he walked up to the desk, placing the notebook he was carrying onto it. "And you? Don't you have homework?"
"Yeah so?" He sat up not quite remembering which direction he'd tossed backpack when he'd gotten back to the room. "What do you care? It's not your homework."
"Wouldn't be good for you if you fell behind at the start of the semester," the golden haired boy pointed out calmly, studying his own notes. "Oh, do you want to give me my back pack?"
Akutsu grumbled something a long the lines of "get it yourself," but stood up anyway. He walked over and grabbed the other's backpack and handed it to him. "Here." he said, before heading back to his bed. As he walked back, he noticed his own backpack under it. He picked it up and grabbed a book from it.
He actually hadn't expected Akutsu to get it for him, maybe the other boy felt bad about hitting him all those weeks ago, but he appreciated the gesture none the less. "Thank you~ What's your homework?"
"Whatever..." Akutsu flipped through the pages of the book. What was it exactly that he had to do again? Damn. He'd found class so boring he fell asleep somewhere in the middle of class. The teacher must have assigned the homework after he'd gone to sleep. "Don't know." he answered after a moment of flipping pages.
"Don't know?" Fuji raised an eyebrow at that, then shrugged. "I can't help you though... We're not exactly in the same class. What's the number of your class anyway?"
"I fell asleep." Akutsu closed the book and tossed it aside. "Seven...And I didn't ask you for your help."
"I could have offered it." Fuji shrugged again, then started to take down notes for his own homework. "I'm in class One," he offered after a little while.
"Che... I don't understand this place at all. I'm older than everyone in that class." He leaned back against the wall. "Even if I cared, how do they expect anyone here to actually learn anything?"
"I wish I knew." Fuji put his marker pen down, glancing over at his gray-haired roommate. "We weren't supposed to go to school here at all, you know? Just a camp. I... Really don't understand what's going on here, if I'm to be honest."
"I didn't wanna come here in the first place. I wouldn't even be here if I hadn't been nagged at." Akutsu picked up his book again and made another attempted to figure out just what the hell he was supposed to be doing.
Fuji chuckled, returning his attention to his book. "I'm surprised you stayed."
"That makes two of us." He flipped though the pages of the book.
"Why did you?"
Akutsu shrugged. "I don't even know now that I'm actually thinking about it."
Fuji grinned, then turned his attention back to his homework, and after twenty minutes had passed, he had finished with his literature assignment and tackled his math. "Akutsu... Been to the shrine again?"
Akutsu looked up from the book he was still trying to figure out. "Not since I've been back. Why?
"Just curious." Fuji grinned. "I think that place's haunted. For real."
Akutsu rolled his eyes. "I doubt it. Someone's probably just trying to scare us. Not really working on me though. I'll believe all of that stuff when I actually see a ghost."
"What if I told you I think I've heard the ghost?" Fuji's smile widened. "I say it's real."
"Like I said, I'll believe it when I actually see it." Akutsu repeated himself.
"Then why don't we go and have a look?"
"You're suggesting we go now."
Fuji's grin widened. "Why not?" He nodded at the books. "You have anything better to do?"
Akutsu set the book in his hands down.. "Nope. Not at all." He grinned.
Fuji closed his own book and got to his feet. "So... Shall we?"
Akutsu stood up. "Fine let's get going then."
The shorter boy nodded, and walked over to grab his jacket and his cell phone, shoving the latter into his pocket. He wondered if he should bring his camera this time as well, but thought better of it - if something untoward were to happen, he really didn't want to risk breaking his precious camera. "Ready?"
Akutsu put on his shoes and slipped on his jacket before grabbing his own cell phone. He put the phone in his back pocket. "I'm all set."
"Good." Fuji smiled at him, making his way over to the door, holding it up for the other boy. "After you~"
"Whatever..." Akutsu rolled his eyes and headed out the door. "I still don't think there's a ghost. You people are seeing and hearing things." He began to head down the hallway.
"But even if we are, isn't it great that we have that kind of imagination?" Fuji grinned good naturedly, quickening his steps to keep up with the tall boy.
Akutsu stared at him for a moment then continued to walk. "Hearing thing and seeing things is what I'd like to call...You're losing your mind. I swear this place is making everyone crazy."
"Maybe it's a good kind of crazy," Fuji suggested lightly. "And who are we to say what's crazy and what's not, anyway?"
"I'll say whatever I want." The tall male said as they finally exited the dorms "This place is crazy. Right down to those two camp directors who started this whole thing."
Fuji really couldn't argue with him on that one. "I'm with you there. They're a bit strange, aren't they?"
Akutsu crossed his arms as he walked. "More than a bit. From what I've been hearing the first one was just creepy...I can't say too much though. I haven't met or talked to him."
"He hasn't commented in your journal, then?"
"Not that I know of..." He thought for a moment. "But then again I just got back and he left not too soon after that..."
"Yeah..." Fuji was quiet for a moment, thinking back on the last time they really talked to each other - even though how much of a real talk it had been was up to each and everyone to decide for themselves, he figured - and how that particular day had ended. Bruises, swellings and concussion. "So... How was your time away?"
Akutsu thought about the few weeks he was away. It hadn't been too great. It had mostly been the same as always. "I got into a couple of fights." He said after a moment. "Those guys'll think twice before picking another fight with me again." A grin formed over his face as he remembered the fights.
Fuji quirked an eyebrow at that, realizing he was heading into an area he better ought to say out of, but the temptation was too big. "Still as violent as ever then, nee?"
"Yeah and...?" Akutsu looked at Fuji with a small glare.
"I still don't approve of violence, you know." Fuji quirked an eyebrow. "So I don't know why you feel proud over something like that."
"I don't care what you approve of or don't." Akutsu frowned. "I'll feel however I want about what I want."
"I still don't think it's very good to feel good about causing other people pain," Fuji said calmly, making sure to walk out of Akutsu's reach, just in case the other guy would blow his top.
The frown didn't leave the taller male's face. "Do I look like I give a damn about what you think?" He clenched a fist.
"Obviously not, no," Fuji replied, tucking some hair behind his ear. "I'm just voicing my opinion anyway."
"This is stupid." Why was he doing this again? "I'm going back to the room. You can go see the ghost or whatever it is by yourself." He turned to walk back, not wanting to listen to the other anymore.
"Turning tail just because I'm trying to start up a discussion, are you?" Fuji quirked an eyebrow. "I'm not even attacking you, you know."
"I ain't running away." He turned back. "I'm just tired of hearing you talk."
"Really now?"
"Yeah and now I'm leaving to get some peace and quiet." Akutsu turned to leave again.
Fuji waved, wondering in the back of his mind if he had managed to make the situation in his dorm room even worse now, but then shrugged it off. He could deal with Akutsu. If the guy proved to be a bother, he could just talk until the other guy was fed up after all. "See you then~ ♥"
Akutsu shook his head, grumbled something and kept walking.
