THIS POST IS GAY.


[It's a warm summer night, and Kid is studying. He's checked out a few books of a... fanciful nature from the library, and is pouring over them, occasionally taking a pen or whiteout to a fix a printing error. The going is slow as he's trying to absorb alien concepts like "88 Ways to Confess Your Love" and "Dating 101 for Teen Boys" (he had ignored "14 Tips for a Perfect Romance" because of the number). Of course, some of the texts are bringing embarrassing mental images to mind, so he's both very focused and slightly flushed with the anticipation of humiliation. Either way, he's not paying much attention to anything else.]

[His hearing is good, but he's completely absorbed at the moment, so he doesn't notice Minato until he speaks up. At which point, with a sudden burst of embarrassment, Kid jumps and hastily tries to cover his reading material... while still keeping the layout of books on the table symmetrical.]

Ah! U-up late again, are we?

You never do, do you?

[Calming down a little now, but his face is still unusually red.]

Can I ask you something?

[identity profile] alittleneurotic.livejournal.com 2010-07-06 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Do you like it here?

[It's a simple question, but it means a lot. Kid won't go through with any of the other questions on his mind probably regardless of the answer, but this one will determine how much he even considers them. Besides, it's been a couple of months now, and, well, he figures it'd be good to check up on that anyway.]

That's good. I was a little worried that you'd be bored, or something.

[Smiles, relieved. Well, at least his friend isn't wanting to leave at the moment. Still, there's nervousness in the pit of his stomach, and he idly turns the page of the book in front of him to the big bold chapter page: "CHAPTER 11: ONE NIGHT STANDS" without really looking at the contents.]

Huh? No, it is hard to get bored here.

Good to hear. [Yes. And he notices the page he's on and turns it quickly again. RLY, this is not things he needs to know, and especially not things he wants to look at in front of Minato.]

So what are you doing up this late?

[identity profile] alittleneurotic.livejournal.com 2010-07-06 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm just doing a little research. I couldn't sleep either. Too much on my mind, I guess.

Do you want to talk about it?

[identity profile] alittleneurotic.livejournal.com 2010-07-08 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
N-No! No, it's fine... it isn't anything to worry about. [Closing that book in front of him now, and positioning it in the exact center of the table.]

[identity profile] alittleneurotic.livejournal.com 2010-07-10 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... [A long pause. YES HE'S AWKWARD, but he doesn't exactly know how to breach the subject.]
