[At first Hayato didn't notice the change in scenery. Usually he was a light sleeper and pretty crisp in the morning, but after being ill the previous week he was uncharacteristically sluggish. He dragged his feet out of his room with only his pajama pants and a pair of slippers on, and a toothbrush sticking out of his mouth... and a couple stick

The sight of that half-naked person is disturbing though. If having seen the stars had not put him into a more-or-less good mood, Gokudera's face would probably have met a fan now.
But since he understand the fascination with the stars, the make-up-wearing boy only makes a comment]
The stars are truly distracting, aren't they? [Distracting from getting dressed, he means. His fan is opened and hiding the lower half of his face]

I'm Ryuutaro Fukami by the way.
[Which carries a silent 'and who are you?' with it. Even though he was not a social person, Ryuutaro liked to know the names of those he was stuck in the manor with.]

[Hayato smiles a bit]
So, you know a lot about space?

[Fan is opened again, dramatically]
Astrology is suiting my intrests better. To me the stars have a special kind of magic.
[Which is true. In his world that even makes sense. In every star-sign lies a bey and so every blader had to feel some kind of connection with the sky. And on top of that Ryuutaro was intrested in every way of fortune-telling.]

[His face lights up, this sort of supernatural stuff was RIGHT UP HIS ALLY!]
W-what kind of magic?! What can they do!
[If ONLY he had a notepad on him! His respect for this guy just went up EXPONENTIALLY!]

The other's enthusiams seemed pretty amusing to Ryuutaro. He points his fan at the other]
They don't actively do anything, but their positions and ways influence the fate of humans. Most horoscopes though are not very good, because the creators lack the ability to actually see fate.

Horoscopes huh? And you know a lot about it then?!
Reply
I know the basics.
[Ryuutaro smirks]
It's not my prefered way of fortune-telling though.
Reply
[ He leans forward all kinds of interested]
So there are different types of fortune telling? C-could you elaborate?
Reply
But Ryuutaro still smiles sweetly]
Of course. In almost every culture there have been special persons who foresaw every important event. Naturally they all had their own methods. Some of them are rather... rough, involving dead animals and the likes.
Others are more elegant. Reading the cards for example.
Or - like I prefer to- you can get to know the future by observing how petals fall into the water.
But naturally there is a special talent needed. [His own way of saying: I have it. That makes me special]
Reply
S-seriously?! C-could you... like... um... well... could you read my future?
[Hayato didn't want to seem over eager... but well THIS GUY COULD READ FUCKING FORTUNES! Not only did Hayato want to to know his fortune, but getting a chance to observe the process as well! too much to resist!]
Reply
Sure, I could. But might I suggest you get dressed first?
Reply
Ah-ha... yeah.. right sorry! I'll be RIGHT BACK THOUGH! Don't go anywhere!
[and he GUNS IT back to his room! He doesn't want to make his fortune teller wait! So after getting dressed in his usual attire, and adorned with his countless accessories, he's running back... but more cooly. Can't go flailing through the halls now that he's dressed and convinced he looks badass.]

[Ryuutaro shook his head as he sees the other boy run off. My, my, so impatient. But that's what customers were like. So amazed by so little things.
Thank Goodness he usually was carrying his fortune-telling accessory with him.
Ryuutaro took out the small red bowl and filled it with water from a little bottle. The cherry blossoms he had were already losing their beauty, but they had to do. On a spaceship he could hardly find replacements. Carefully he placed them inside his sleeves, so that they could ‚appear seemingly out of nowhere‘ later.
As that was done, he sat down in front of the bowl, staring at the stars until Gokudera returns]

[Hayato walks back casually, a bit surprised to see the other boy already set up shop. AWESOME. Hayato takes a seat on the other side of the bowl, being uncharacteristically calm. Though it's probably not hard to notice the eagerness just RADIATING off of him]
I-is... is it all ready?
Reply
[That conceited smile. It says: "Because I'm a pro". Clearly.]
[Aaaaaaand.... here comes the show. Ryuutaro jumps into a standing position spectaculary, taking the petals out of his sleeve to throw them in the air. Asian looking boy in cherry blossom rain. Well, if that isn't a pretty sight.
Then Ryuutaro starts making some undefinable movements. Close to dancing, but too decent to actually be it. During it he hums some melodyless, but somehow very mystical, tunes.
Then his fan comes into play being raised and moved up and down a few times.
And he jumps again.
And then he's sitting, both arms widely spread.
In one hand is his fan. In the other is... a kind of rod with bells on it. Doubtlessly a traditional Japanese item. Where he got it from that fast remains a mystery.
However, the bells make a soft "chling-chling"-sound now as Ryuutaro starts speaking.]
An unpleasant surprise awaits you a few sunrises away.
[Chling-chling]
But there is an arriving softness. Arms that reach out for you hesitantly.
[Chling-chling. He ( ... )
