Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy--! From exploring hidden passageways with Orihime, Toph and Hinata to militarily scouring every inch of the grounds, Misao was on a roll. She'd even managed to get Aoshi to divulge some of his personal favorite retreats via email, though she still had to locate all of them. Since there were classes later in the day and homework and social things at night, Misao had started waking up early, all the better to go exploring

Shino did not sigh, but he allowed himself a slightly more annoyed exhalation the moment he heard the footsteps steadily growing louder in the stairwell behind him. With any luck, whatever this person wanted with the roof wouldn't be important enough to outweigh the discomfort of Shino's blank stares, which he planned on doling out liberally in order to reclaim his quiet morning.

When the inevitable BANG rang out sharply through the crisp morning air, Shino swung his legs back onto the roof ledge and slowly turned to regard the intruder impassively. He did not recognize her, and decided upon closer inspection that she must be a first-year.

Misao's first thought was Oh god, I cheated on Aoshi.

There was a naked boy sitting in front of her in only his boxers. Okay, maybe not naked naked, but--Misao felt her skin go from excitement-flushed to fire engine red in under five seconds. She was about to turn away lest her virgin eyes be sullied when her second thought struck her.

She wasn't really in a relationship with Aoshi, and if she wanted to stare at naked boys who was he to stop her? Firming her jaw, Misao resolutely stared at the boy sitting in front of her.

He was shirtless. Okay, she could deal with it. She'd seen it before.
He was wearing only his boxers. Less firm ground, but boxers weren't that different than swim trunks at the public pool.
He was... covered in the coolest looking green tattoos! Misao forget her mortification in an instant and fluttered forward. She was maybe five feet away when she stopped, peering curiously at the strange green markings on the boy's chest, trying to make out what had to be the weirdest geometric design she'd ever seen. He must

Shino had analyzed several different reactions to his morning solar charge, but this was a new one. He couldn't say he minded the change (screaming was so hard on the ears), but this one was still a rung below the student who had fallen back down the stairs.

Shino watched as the girl underwent a brief internal crisis and then moved forward to stare quite determinedly at him.

"..."

He raised a hand in one of his constrained waves.
