I guess so. As much as you can call "an annoyin' guy who cares way too much about my well bein' for his own good and I just put up with it" bein' friends.

[No, she likes it, really. It's kind of nice having someone actually care about her, even if she doesn't acknowledge it.]

I mean he's not so bad, just really weird. Normal and borin' as fuckin' hell, the kind of guy you'd totally think would piss himself meeting a member of our clan, but he's totally fine with talkin' to me and shit. Fuck, he even tries reprimandin' me when I get into fights with that Sato bitch. Can you believe that? Ballsy as fuck.

[IT'S WEIRD. She watches him take his slice of cake, finishing hers off and going for another small piece. If she had a fork and a plate you'd better believe she'd be going at it like him. But she has Dignity, thank you!!]

What exactly is makin' your life easier, huh?

[Look. No one's around to see. He doesn't give a shit if Natsumi judges him. As long as he doesn't get cake all over his clothes, he'll be fine.]

I mean...

[He decides to swallow the bite of cake he has in his mouth before finishing that statement. He can at least takes pride in his table manners (or "table" manners, in this case).]

If you guys both know, it'll be easier to rant to you guys and shit since we kinda got no one else to go to. Less running around. Saves us time.

[Of course he's telling her Hinata is Mystery Person Number Two in the most nonchalant way possible. To Fuyuhiko, Hinata is little more than some guy who happens to go to school with him.

...Well. Okay. If he's friends with Peko and Natsumi, then that changes shit. But he doesn't want to linger on that thought too much right now. Yukizome already bothers him enough about making friends in the first place; knowing he'll have to learn how to get along with this guy now is filling him with a very similar sort of anxiety.]

What?!

[She almost drops her slice of cake, the offense she's taking to this very obvious in her voice.]

You're tellin' me that bland, borin', harmless looking loser is the guy she told before tellin' me?! What the fuck!

[Holy shit. If it was someone talented, someone from their class or just...literally anyone from the Main Course at all, that'd be one thing. But no. No. It's a talentless Reserve Course trash loser like Hajime Hinata. Ow??????? Wow Peko, what the hell!]

I'm going to be the fuckin' shit out of him!

[And yet it's poor Hajime who takes the fall for this...]

Calm down! She had a damn good reason for it, okay?!

[At least let him explain before you start randomly attacking Peko! God, Natsumi.]

We woulda told you first if she hadn't already been keeping him updated in the first place. Apparently the two of them are... friends or something.

[He emphasizes "friends" almost as if it's a question. That what they seem to function as, but he's not quite sure if that's how Peko views their relationship.]

She was runnin' by your classroom so often to check up on you that she just wound up bumpin' into him all the time. And, well, neither of them really have a lot going on in the friend department, so I guess it just sorta... worked out that way.

[And this is the part of the story where his expression turns a bit sour, his eyes narrowing slightly at his oversized slice of cake.]

So apparently she starts tellin' him all about this childhood friend of hers that she's got this big fucking thing for, right? Like... could it have killed her to be a little more careful? But. Whatever.

[He's absentmindedly picking at his cake with one chopstick now, slowing turning a small section of the slice into a chocolately mush.]

She didn't really mean to tell him it was me. But after all she'd let him in on... after she told him we finally got over ourselves and got together, I guess he spotted us walking together once or twice and... the guy's smarter than he looks, okay?

[...He's got some good deduction skills. Could make a pretty decent detective or something.]

[She listens to the explanation, eyes narrowing further as he talks.]

...tch, whatever.

[She can't argue that he's smarter than he looks. She definitely knows that first hand. But she also still can't help the sullen and pouty look as she goes back to her cake. And Hajime is still probably going to get his ass kicked later, honestly, just maybe not as badly as she made it sound at first.]

At least they're friends I guess. They definitely both need it. I think Peko-chan deserves better but hey, at least he's more trustworthy than I am.

[She's going to be sore about this for a while...]
nineheadeddragon: (...okay)

[personal profile] nineheadeddragon 2017-09-08 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hey.

[He fixes her with a serious look. He's not stupid; he knows that she's still upset, and it's supposed to be his job to fix that.]

If it were my choice you would have known first.

[But life is a bitch and Peko spilled way more information than she should have. They're lucky Hinata's as easy to threaten and desperate to make friends as he is, otherwise they could be in a lot of trouble. ...Well, and he's just a decent guy. There's that, too. But that's all circumstance. It shouldn't be something that Natsumi has to beat herself up over.]

That's why I'm telling you now. This is the first real chance I got.

[He couldn't do it while they were at school; not when there were people everywhere, the reverse course dorms had thin walls, and Natsumi wasn't permitted on the main course's campus (no matter how much Fuyuhiko tried to reason with the Head of Security). So he had to wait until they were on break. But talking about it in the house was even riskier, with their parents close by and so many clan members wandering about. This is the only place he's felt safe enough to broach the subject with her.]
