Rating: G
Comments: Sure thing. Also. Gottis can't keep track of her logs. DERP
Fuji: *there's a shared fridge in one of the cabins, and Fuji's poking through it, resting on a crutch, while humming to himself*
Niou: *feels rather exhausted, but also rather hungry, so is headed for the shared fridge... just to find someone already there* Hi, Fuji.
Fuji: *looks up and smiles* Hi Ni-- *the smile dies on his lips* ... Niou!
Niou: What? Not that pleased to see me? *walks over to look what's in the fridge*
Fuji: ... You look horrible. What happened to you?
Niou: Oh, this? Training.
Fuji: ... Your training leaves you with a black jaw?
Niou: Yeah, sometimes. It's really intense...
Fuji: *takes a moment* Niou... Are you all right? *means, obviously, not the physical part*
Niou: I'm fine.
Fuji: ... Come. Sit down with me. It's too much of a bother to stand anyway. *grabs a protein bar from the fridge*
Niou: Sure... *take a drinkable yoghurt and sits down at the table* What happened to you anyway?
Fuji: *blushes* Uh, well... Akazawa and I were talking on the ski lift, right? And we didn't notice we were at the top, and... Uh...
Niou: Ah... that sort of an accident.
Fuji: Yes. Completely stupid and unnecessary, but...
Niou: Well, someone had to do it, right?
Fuji: Yeah, laughing stock of the entire school. *smiles good-naturedly*
Niou: Heh... *drinks the yoghurt he got for himself*
Fuji: *chuckles softly*
Niou: .... you know.
Fuji: ... Hm?
Niou: I'm not training for tennis.
Fuji: *blink* ... N-no?
Niou: Yeah.
Fuji: ... Wha--what then...?
Niou: I'm part of the yakuza.
Fuji: *freezes, eyes widening* ... And you think you should tell me this?
Niou: Why not? It's not like it will kill you. Or me.
Fuji: ... I hope not. *weak smile*
Niou: As long as you don't go around telling everyone.
Fuji: ... I do hope I'm not that stupid.
Niou: I wouldn't have told you if I thought otherwise
Fuji: *smiles warmly* Well, thank you for having that much confidence in me, Niou. *reaches out a hand to touch Niou's*
Niou: *a small smile* No problem.
Niou: If I disappear suddenly, it's because I'm called back for something. So don't wonder if I do.
Fuji: ... Is it... dangerous?
Niou: A little. I haven't been told to kill yet though.
Fuji: Kill? *looks rather faint*
Niou: Well, yeah. Sometimes it gets that rough *sighs* Especially in the situation I am in.
Fuji: And what kind of situation is that? ... Also, you sure you don't need painkillers or something?
Niou: ... promise not to tell a soul? *would feel a lot better if he could just get it off his chest* And yeah, I've felt worse... I think.
Fuji: I promise. *digs into his pocket and pulls out a cart of pills, pressing two out into his hand and handing them to Niou*
Niou: ... thanks. *takes them* And uh... how do you think like is when you work from two families at the same time?
Fuji: Are you... a double agent or something? *frowns*
Niou: Suits the trickster, doesn't it?
Fuji: You know what they say about burning both ends though, Niou.
Niou: Mm....
Niou: I don't expect to live long anyway.
Fuji: ...
Niou: What?
Fuji: ... That's quite... A statement, Niou. *looks at him seriously*
Niou: I know, right. But it's true. All I do is pretend... I don't think someone like that will live long. One day I'll make a mistake and it's all over.
Fuji: ... That's quite sad. You don't think you do anything but pretend? What is this you're doing right here and now then?
Niou: ... heh. I guess I have some good moments in me. But you must admit that's most I ever do. *he shifted his position and winced at his ribs* ...
Fuji: So, if that's true... Who are you pretending for when it all comes down to it, Niou? The Family? Yourself?
Niou: I don't know. I'm confused... not sure what to believe anymore.
Fuji: Did something specific happen? I mean, excuse me if I'm asking too much, but...
Niou: .... I was given orders from the other family. To hurt the one I'm serving in the other. I tried... but I can't anymore. It hurts me more than him. And I wasn't supposed to feel.
Fuji: ... That... That's not going to end good for you, Niou. Not that I need to tell you that, I'm sure you realize that yourself. But... What are you going to do?
Niou: ... Disobey and take the punishment. They won't kill me. they need me too much.
Fuji: Are you... certain?
Niou: No.
Fuji: *nodding slowly, face quite pale* May I dare a guess?
Niou: You may.
Fuji: ... Sanada?
Niou: ... Mmh. He's the one I'm supposed to be hurting, as you might guess.
Fuji: *nod* ... What did you do?
Niou: .... Oh dear. You're probably going to hate me too.
Fuji: ... Try me.
Niou: I threatened to drop Echizen out of the terrace...
Niou: And later slapped him... That's why Sanada beat me up,
Fuji: *sits silent for a long, long time, retracting his hand, doesn't get up to leave, however* ... So that's why Echizen's so upset. *voice calm*
Niou: Yeah...
Fuji: Will you hurt him again?
Niou: No... I won't touch him again.
Fuji: Why not?
Niou: ... why should I?
Fuji: So your hostility towards him is only because hurting him would hurt Sanada, is that correct?
Niou: ... ... no.
Fuji: *silent, watching him*
Niou: I was also jealous... of all the attention he got from Sanada *looks away, wondering why he's still talking*
Fuji: *doesn't interrupt him, merely listening*
Niou: So I found an excuse to mess with him. Vent my frustration on him. Even though I only pretended to like Sanada I.... really... got jealous.
Fuji: So. I'm guessing they'll continue to be close. What makes you certain it won't be a repeat offense? And maybe even escalating?
Niou: *sighing Niou got up* Because Sanada ordered me not to do anything again. If I do, I'll get expelled from the family... and that usually means...
Fuji: ... I'm sorry, Niou. Really, I am. I... Guess I'm mad at you, but... You're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place right now, so... You have your reasons. Echizen might not understand them, but they're there, and I know that at least. Thanks for telling me. Does that... Help you? At all?
Niou: .... it does. It took some pressure of my chest. Thanks.
Fuji: Anytime. And, hey... Since I know now. You can... come and talk to me. Always.
Niou: ... thanks. Thought it's probably safer if you forgot about it.
Fuji: No can do. My memory's evil like that. I got so wasted I couldn't think, but I still remembered coming onto Mizuki, like a stupid perverted drunkard. I'll remember this too. *soft chuckle*
Niou: Ah ha... Well, if you ever need a drink, remember I'm always up to it.
Fuji: It was one of the bottles you fixed for me. *blush*
Niou: Haha. *ruffles Fuji's hair a bit* .... You're a good mate you know that, right?
Fuji: *blushes more* ... Eh... I'm just me. But... *smiles shyly* Tha--thank you.
Niou: Cute.... puri.
Fuji: ... *blush!* Do--don't do that!
Niou: Do what?
Fuji: I... I don't... I don't know! *stutter*
Niou: ... I'm sorry.
Fuji: Ahahahah, no don't be sorry, I'm just... really, really horrible at receiving compliments... I'm utterly derpy like that.
Niou: *chuckles* Well, I'm very bad at giving them, so we're even
Fuji: ... *awkward laugh and he rubs the back of his head while he blushes, feeling red as a tomato* Ju--just remember, Niou... Echizen's my friend. But... So... Are you. I'd like to believe.
Niou: ... I know. And I feel like we're friends... too. I hope it can remain that way.
Fuji: *is silent for a moment, then limps over to him, putting his hand on his shoulder, hoping that he isn't bruised there* I hope so too. But... Don't do anything reckless, because then... I don't want to be there at your funeral, Ni-- Masaharu-kun.
Niou: .... I can't promise anything, but I'll try... Syuusuke.
Fuji: *smiles sadly* Thank you.
Niou: *small smile* I think I'll get some rest.
Fuji: Sounds good, you do that. You know... I'd hug you, but I'm not very good with hugs and... You're hurt.
Niou: Maybe some other time, eh? I think I'll heal sooner or later.
Fuji: You'd better.
Niou: *grins* Yeah. Well, see you later *waves and walks away*
Fuji: *waves, and then makes his way back to the table, starting to snack on his bar* Well, if this isn't quite the mess...
