ninth breath ✧ voice/images

[musubi]

[There's the sound of someone fumbling with their journal before it hits the floor with a loud thud. It falls open, and one might get a view of Isamu's leg hanging off the edge of the bed before he mutters a curse and retrieves it with a shaking hand.

He doesn't seem to realize it's picking anything up as he sets it down across from him. The teen himself is sitting upright in his bed, eyes occasionally darting to either side. He's still dressed in his gi from training this morning, and he's turning his ring around in one hand - the one with the demon design. He seems particularly jumpy.]

Nothing to worry about...

[Damn you, child. That sounds deliberately less respectful]

Eh. Better.

[Smirking.]

Hey, you and Naoki had that little trip, right? How'd that go?

[voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[aaaaaaand visibly brightening]

Was fine. We'll have to do it again sometime.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Manly bonding moments, huh?

[voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

More like taking a shitty vacation from this circus show.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Not a bad plan, I guess.

...Why Naoki?

[voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

We're friends.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah... And I know he's been here for a while, but...

You have other friends, right?

[voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[eyes him briefly]

Yeah, but I wanted to spend time with him.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

So are you two... [He raises an eyebrow.] particularly close?

[voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[......................................]

What kind of "particularly close" are we talking here?

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

What kind do you think?

[voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

WHY THE HELL DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Well. He is my friend, and all.

[voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[what is this Sanji can't even--]

No.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Hey, I can't help what I see, man. [He shrugs, looking amused.]

[voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Start investing in glasses then.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Isamu laughs.] There's worse people to be with than Naoki, right?

[voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

That's not the point! [groans]

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Aw. You're so cute when you're protesting.

[voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't even dignify that one with a response, as his options have dwindled down to "Kick his ass" (which would upset Naoki) or "Keep arguing about his sexuality" (which he really, really does not want to do).]

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

You know I'm just teasing, right?

...So did you share a tent?

[voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[lol seeing as the thread isn't done and the mun doesn't actually know for sure....]

We had different sleeping bags. No different than sharing a room.

[voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay. I'll leave it alone. I'm sure you both enjoyed yourselves.

[voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Damn straight. [said pointedly]

He needed the vacation anyway.
