[Rin wants to coral everyone together because 1. it's safer and 2. he wants all his nakama to be nakama with each other. Sousuke, seriously, have you not learned the first thing about Rin yet?]
Someone might, but the lockers are too small to fit the mats, and it's not like I can carry them all around the school all the time. Unless we could find somewhere else to hide them...
[ oh no, he definitely knows rin. but he's been fighting against that part of rin since they were babies. don't think he'll concede so easily. ]
Are you trying to get us to sleep in the study hall? Or just stay in the gym? [ not that it really matters either way. sousuke sighs. ] If we could find another room to hide them in it'd be easier to keep them for ourselves.
[But he already gave in to magic relays, joining the big nakama party is just the natural next step...]
I guess we'll have to wait and see what everyone else decides, but if we all crash at the gym, then we'll definitely have to find somewhere else to hide the mats. [Or would hiding in plain sight work here? He's not sure.]
What's a room that only few people would use, anyway? Music room...?
[ nitori and momo grew on him. iwatobi hasn't. yet. ]
If Makoto [ that's still weird, but they agreed on it at the school festival, didn't they? ] is organizing this, let him decide. We can just bring the mats in there after.
[ as long as no one has stolen them. ]
Music room. Maybe the teachers office? [ a pause, where he basically shudders at remembering when he first got here. ] Unless they use it.
Er, I'm not sure that might be the best idea... [Because having a bunch of teachers who look the same is creepy af. But then again--] On the other hand, if they do use it, I'm guessing it's only during school hours, and not a lot of people would go there, so it might work.
he shrugs, despite knowing rin wouldn't see it, and is about to mention how they might disappear like everyone else does when the last bell rings when rin goes ahead and gets there himself. ]
We'll have to see if it's locked. [ and actually find it. ]
[WOW SOUSUKE don't be a baby!! And don't screw yourself over just to spite Rin, that's the least heroic way to go...]
I'm not making you wait on purpose, I really am checking out rooms on my way there! [And maybe there's... a tiny hint of a giggle there... barely perceptible...] But they're all normal classrooms, there's no good place to hide anything in them...
[ he's not a baby! he just doesn't want to sit around and be useless. also, wow rin why do you think him getting lost equates with him dying. it's only like, the second day??? first???
he still huffs a little bit, though he's kind of smiling on his side of the phone, more so because it's kind of just ridiculous. ]
I can just come meet you. [ rin's giving him a hard time and he knows it. oh the woes of your best friend knowing you well enough to tease you like that. ] I don't think the classrooms would be a good idea anyway. Not unless you want to chance those faceless student people coming in.
[He's not useless, he's just. Directionally challenged. Which is why Rin must come find him. Also, who knows!! They've been kidnapped, what if the bad guys try to cut off a piece of him to send as proof of life and ask for ransom???]
Err, I think I'd rather avoid those creeps, if I can help it... [What... are they supposed to be, anyway? Robots? Clones?] Anyway, we can figure this out later, I'm almost there--
[ wow why don't you hold back on that foreshadowing a little bit, huh???? ]
I agree. [ not that it comes as a surprise to anyone. he and rin have always been on the same wavelength, and if he can just...avoid those creepy students for as long as possible, that would be ideal.
sousuke drops the call a moment later, noticing said red dot and moving towards it. when he's close enough that rin will see him too, he waves. ] Took you long enough.
[Rin might be concerned, if he didn't know that fake-out was just for show, too. But he does roll his eyes at Sousuke's comment, without any real malice or annoyance to the gesture.]
C'mon, Sousuke, you can't be planning to spend the night all by yourself. We don't know what we're here for, but it's best if we all stick together, right?
[ 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. ]

And did you get lost?
audio; huff!! (nottalking)
Date: 2015-06-19 07:44 pm (UTC)[A pause, and Sousuke can practically hear the smirk in Rin's voice.]
Why? Scared already? [Do you need him to hold your hand, you big baby...?]
audio; wow rude
Date: 2015-06-20 09:46 pm (UTC)[ oh god. sousuke's eyes are rolling. ]
You're making me wait, aren't you? If I wanted to stand around bored I can do it somewhere else.
[ is he threatening to start walking again? maybe... ]
audio; you started it!!

action; I might!!!
Date: 2015-06-27 01:07 am (UTC)I didn't take that long! [His protest is just for show, and the usual little kick that connects to Sousuke's leg is not meant to hurt.]
'Sides, should you really be saying anything? If I hadn't come to pick you up, you wouldn't show up at the study hall before morning...
action; :c
Date: 2015-06-29 07:23 pm (UTC)but then it's gone, leaving room for him to shrug a bit nonchalantly with his good shoulder. ]
That's assuming I was headed towards the study hall at all.
