[ and then he shrugs, rubbing at the back of his neck. ]
Dunno. Hadn't thought that far yet. [ which is the truth. ] I still think the more people sticking together makes us a bigger target.
[ from what, he doesn't know, but he starts walking back in the direction rin came from, sliding his hands into the pockets of his pants. he stops a few steps away and turns back to rin, though, obviously ready to go. ]
[And Rin still thinks safety lies in numbers, and if there's anything to be learned from watching Free! is that Rin Matsuoka always gets his way with things, as evidenced by the fact Sousuke is willing to follow him back to the study hall. Just as keikaku.]
Heh, fine. [He covers the distance with a chuckle, and takes the lead half a step ahead. When he turns to Sousuke, he's flashing him that disarming(?) smile, the one that's rivaled only by the sun, dazzling and staving off any darkness that might prowl along their path.] Guess that means if anything tries to target you, I'll just have to swoop in for the rescue.
[Because, clearly, it's just that simple, and everything will definitely be all right.]
[ it's true, sousuke is entirely powerless to rin's wants and needs. even if rin doesn't know he wants or needs them.
but in the end, it doesn't really matter, does it? not when rin can still look up at him and smile like that. even if sousuke has to put up that eye-rolling kind of front. yeah, okay rin. whatever. ]

You'll be the first one I call, I promise.
