Dated: Tonight before Ohtori runs into Kamio.
Summary: Saeki expresses concern for Yuushi, Ohtori caves and gives him some information.
Saeki: Ohtori. We need to talk.
Ohtori: *glances up from his reading on electricity* About what, Kitty-cat?
Saeki: *raises an eyebrow at the name* Our guest.
Ohtori: Ah- that...
Saeki: That? What are you doing with him?
Ohtori: Nothing. Last I heard, we'll be letting him go- they just asked him some stuff... why? *genuinely curious, closes his book*
Saeki: Nothing. Just wanted to know why. *carefree shrug, small smile* When're we letting him go?
Ohtori: I dunno, that's just what I over heard...of course, if Arai and Akutsu-san have their way-
Saeki: What do you mean?
Ohtori: *frowns thoughtfully and scratches his head* You know how those two are about the ones thought of as weak...
Saeki: If he had his powers back they'd be the ones whimpering.
Ohtori: *shrugs a bit* But he doesn't- you act like you don't remember them. You used to agree with it... *looking very worried*
Saeki: *sighs* Stop looking so worried, kid. *would ruffle Ohtori's hair, but doesn't want static shock or any so rt of shock where Ohtori is concerned* Now say that again in a way I understand.
Ohtori: What I'm saying is- I'm sure you are you and all, but you just...seem different somehow. Like softer or something- I dunno.
Saeki: *stares a moment, then begins to chuckle*
Saeki: *shakes his head, the laughter fading* Welcome to my world, Bolt. Everything I know is same and yet different.
Ohtori: It's just confusing. *frowns a bit* I'm still working on that information you wanted. Just- why are you so worried about that rich bastard?
Saeki: *wonders how to explain this* It's a long story, kid. Er ... *not sure* You remember Kamio?
Ohtori: Yeah, I remember him. The coward.
Saeki: *tries his best not to bristle* What do you mean, coward?
Ohtori: *shakes his head* He ran away.
Saeki: From what?
Ohtori: ....*suspicious look* You were here...weren't you?
Saeki: Yeah, and remember, Bolt, I died. Red was still here then.
Ohtori: *shakes his head and worries that he's been overdoing it in training again, it tends to make him a bit fuzzy*
Saeki: So, from what?
Ohtori: Us. He just left. *rubs his eyes with the balls of his hands*
Saeki: *narrows his eyes* People come and go, kid. Now what's wrong with your eyes?
Ohtori: Nothing.
Saeki: *shakes his head* You wouldn't be rubbing so insistently if it was just nothing.
Ohtori: Think I'm losing my goddamn mind.
Saeki: Wanna talk about it? *will sit down if Ohtori does*
Ohtori: *shrugs* You know I get a bit fuzzy sometimes. It's fine. I just have a lot on my mind.
Saeki: *doesn't let on that this is the first he's heard of it* Friends can still be concerned.
Ohtori: *smiles a bit more* Just frying my brains I guess.
Saeki: *can't help but chuckle* Ohtori, you do realize coming from you that's VERY disturbing.
Ohtori: *rolls his eyes, still smiling* Not literally, fried brain is hard to get out of clothes...and the smell, yeuch...
Saeki: *makes a face* Alright, alright, I've lost all desire for dinner.
Ohtori: My mistake. *grins teasingly* And I was just going to see if you wanted to try that seafood place downtown-
Saeki: *pained face* Er, I'll pass.
Ohtori: Alright-
Ohtori: I think I might take an evening walk then, clear things up. See ya later?
Saeki: You haven't told me about Arai and Akutsu's plan. What are they going to do?
Ohtori: Nothing. They're under strict order not to. But they want to- *taking a huuuuuuge risk on this* Look, I don't want to know why you care about what happens to him, and I don't want to know anything at all about what you're up to- but he's in the room next to mine for now so you can keep an eye on them while I'm sleeping or whatever.
Saeki: Thanks, Ohtori. You're going to take a nap now?
Ohtori: A walk first. Clear some static, you know?
Saeki: *chuckles* Yeah.
Ohtori: ...oh and the code to get in the room is on my desk under the mousepad. See you later- *hopes his concerns are all just due to static buildup*
Saeki: *will memorize it* Thanks, Ohtori. Don't roast yourself, okay?
Ohtori: Trying- *waves him off and heads out for his walk*
