DAY 37: MEN'S SHOWERS (4th Shift)

[mazoku_king]

There had been an awkward air left between him and Tyki after their conversation. Yuuri knew he wasn't the best at explaining much of anything, and for the tenth time he wondered why Murata wasn't here to answer the difficult questions for him. Everyone had been herded out of the cafeteria after that, and Yuuri had simply followed along in

Comments

Hanatarou couldn't help but feel slightly more cheerful after his conversation with Demyx. After all, it wasn't often that someone told him that they liked him. Clearly the other was just being nice about some of the stuff he'd said, but that was okay. Besides, he was going to be in a band now.

...well, if he could get Hitsugaya-taichou's permission. Or if they confined band-ly activities to the day hours, when it didn't really seem to matter how he spent his time. That would probably be okay, and wouldn't potentially invoke the wrath of the grouchy captain. Or at least his glare, which was bad enough.

His good mood faded just a little, though, when he realized the meaning of the mention of "showers." He froze in place, staring wide-eyed in something approaching horror at the shower room until finally forced to undress and enter. It had already been proven to him earlier today that his bully magnet was still fully operational, and something like this was just asking for trouble

Wolfram was actually grateful for the shower, despite the distaste in the idea of so many others being around that could possibly see. But then he spotted a familiar dark head of hair, and his anxieties over his lunch meeting were gone instantly. He had something more important to worry about.

Like make sure that Yuuri wasn't looking at anyone besides him while they were in the shower.

Footsteps almost silent, he made his way closer, until his breath was almost in Yuuri's ear. "Did you miss me?"

[mazoku_king]

Yuuri had tried to keep his attention on trying to find Wolfram, but the feel of the warm water washing over him soon distracted him. How long had it been since he'd last had a shower? Sure they weren't nearly as good as a bath, but it still felt good to have the water running all over.

The young Maou; however, was thoroughly distracted by his shower to notice the blonde in question sneaking up behind him. Feeling the brush of air against his ear, Yuuri's eyes widened impossibly large as he flailed his arms in surprise and spun around.

"Wolfram?!" Yuuri spluttered.

[ooc: Wolfram's so funny.... but... Ack! Gott'a run off to work! I'll reply when I get home though \o/]

[arrogantflame]

"You should be careful," Wolfram continued with the slightly seductive edge in his voice, "or someone might want to take advantage of seeing you like this."

Although really, it was more important that Wolfram be careful himself. Otherwise it might be more than apparent to anyone that might glance over as to what his feelings were. But he'd taken several baths with Yuuri before, and for the most part he could control himself well enough.

He took a step back towards the shower head next to Yuuri's, letting the water soak his hair and clear his mind of such thoughts for now. "Sorry if I made you worry. I overslept. Nothing happened this morning, did it?"

[mazoku_king]

"Eh? Eh? Seeing me like what?" Yuuri asked in confusion as he glanced down and around his body - twisting and turning in each way. He had taken so many baths with Murata, Conrad and all the others that being seen by other males in such a state didn't bother the young Maou at all. It just felt natural to him.

Calming down after nothing more came from the statement, Yuuri went back to happily washing himself as Wolfram apologised. He had worried over Wolfram's state of health, but seeing the blonde Mazoku now pushed away all of his fears.

Still, that didn't mean that he'd let Wolfram off the hook that easily.

Turning to face Wolfram, Yuuri playfully glared at the other. "You've been oversleeping a lot lately. You're not getting sick, are you?" He asked before shaking his head. "Nope, nothing happened."

[Danny? (and maybe Hikaru? <3)]

Showers. Kaoru looked at himself. Skinny and....well, healing, at least. Bite marks all down his arm and sides. Still, he wasn't going to let it get him down. If he looked confident, he'd feel confident and if he was exuding all this confidence....maybe nobody would notice the things he was worried about? Except Hikaru but...he had his own injuries.

Kaoru put on a happy face and strode into the showers, hoping to either find a quiet spot or somebody to bug.

Haha, oh man. There was Wolfram. Looking pretty....well...those eyes....that boy. Was that Yuuri, or was Wolfy just really into the plan to make this so-called demon King jealous?

[totallytheseme]

"So is that the lucky husband-to-be or is your roommate a player?" Hikaru asked jovially, nodding at the place where Wolfram and another boy seemed to be sharing a private moment. He had mixed feelings about showers, really. It was such a great place to find new and unsuspecting targets, but it was also the only place where the twins were truly different. They were both wounded, both had scars from their weeks here, but they weren't identical. The marks on their bodies were in different places. Anyone could tell them apart now.

He sighed, leaning into the spray from Kaoru's showerhead to wet his hair. "There's a little girl asking about sex on the bulletin board. It's pretty hilarious."

[hangenki]

"I dunno," he sighed. "I told him to play the field but...he looks happy, doesn't he? He's totally obsessed with this Yuuri guy but...he looks kinda plain for a king, right? Not BAD but...he hardly screams 'I am the demon monarch'."

Kaoru leaned back against his brother. "Hey...wash my hai- What?!" Kaoru spun round and stared at his brother. "And we're here?!"

((OOC: FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL. DX))

Danny wasn't very keen on taking showers publicly. As Tucker once said about him: "when he washes, he washes alone." But it wasn't as though he had much of a choice in the matter. So he drifted towards the first person he recognized--Hikaru. Or Andrew, he still wasn't entirely sure what his actual name was. He insisted on Hikaru, though, so he would use that for now.

"Hey, Hika--whoa. Uh. Hi?" He gave the other, identical-looking boy a quick, shocked glance, not expecting a clone lookalike. "Um, who are you?" he asked bluntly, pointing a confused finger at Hikaru by accident. It wasn't like he could tell who was who anyway.

[For Haku]

Artemis' nurse was glad that she didn't have to fight with Artemis to get him into the shower today. No clinging, no snide remarks, nothing. The boy calmly undressed and, sans towel, moved to the closest showerhead and turned on the water.

He stood there, letting the water wash over him, trying to meditate. Despite everything that Haku and Badou and Schuldig had said to him, nothing would still his grief. But at least he wasn't blaming himself anymore. No, this was probably normal, healthy grief for one who had lost a friend.

[faithful_frost]

Haku spotted his friend right away and, taking his towel from his nurse, quietly took the stall beside him. He was careful not to draw too much attention to himself incase Artemis wanted to be left alone, but he wanted to be nearby incase he was needed.

[byname_bynature]

Artemis didn't know what it was, but suddenly it was as if he could always sense when Haku was near him. He was silent for a moment.

"I think we should tell Zabuza-san."

[faithful_frost]

Haku bowed his head under the spray and smiled. "If you feel you're ready for that," he agreed softly once he had pulled back from the cool water.

Lunch had been spent moping.

Why did Kid have to post another notice? Probably because Shinichi was here now, but goddammit. What the hell. The one thing he could finally push to the side was now center stage again--and no doubt Shinichi would grill him for details on people's behavior, possible suspects, things that had been stolen, et cetera. At least he'd kept the note in the notebook safe. He'd intended to dust it for prints, but everything else just seemed to make him want to put it off.

He sat on one of the stools and, having lowered the showerhead some, let the spray drive into his skull--as if that would help him stop thinking about it.

[The Canadian and The Liar~ Sounds like a kids book. :<]

[flashyaudacity]

After Kaito had posted Kid's note to Kudou before lunch, he'd spent his meal quietly observing. Neither Kudou nor Hattori had raised any sort of fuss over the note, and he had been rather pleased to see that they hadn't gravitated towards either other to discuss him as a case. They would talk about Kid sooner or later, he was sure, but the longer they took, the safer he'd feel

[osakapwnzu]

[How touching~ ♥]

Heiji looked up when his water was suddenly interrupted. Well, there was a familiar sight. But... clothed. Yeah.

His face broke into a grin, shoving away everything that had been causing that gray cloud around him to grow. "Yeah! How've y'been, man? I haven't heard from you in like... f'ever!"

What was he supposed to say? 'No, Kudou's here and Kid's back and now I'm going to have to face things I don't want to look at'? No way.

[flashyaudacity]

"Forever?" Kaito asked, laughing. "You really did miss me, Hattori. We just saw each other yesterday."

He grinned. "I'm touched. Really."

Kaito pulled back, and with its obstacle removed, the spray of water to Hattori resumed. The detective was grinning now, which was definitely a good sign in Kaito's mind. Hattori had been so gloomy lately that it was nice to see him smiling again.

"Oh, hey, I saw Kudou today, before lunch. He said you thought he was me this morning?"
