Birds of a Feather

[evocalize]

See you later, Ryoji-san. [Ryoji had already been told that he could stay longer as long as he went home at night, and they'd capitalized on that to talk about everything underneath the sun: Girls, school and so on were the main topics although they'd also shared a joke here and there. Minato was supposed to see him off, but it was his turn to shower and he'd left to take a quick bath-

Only to return in his bedclothes with his hair a little damp and feeling sleepy, stifling a yawn as he opens the door and blinking in surprise when he sees Ryoji lying on his bed. He walks over to the railing to place his towel before kneeling down to look at his friend and shake him gently.] ...are you alright?

Maybe. I’m glad it’s happening though, for whatever reason. I wanted to see you more often, so I’m happy I’m getting a chance to.

[evocalize]

Let's hope that we'll see each other more then. I'm sure we will...anyhow, it looks like everyone else is getting up soon. Would you still like to stay?

[notsogrimreaper]

I… well, it would be awkward for the others, wouldn’t it? So I should probably go.

[He hates that he has to, but he doesn’t want to cause Minato trouble.]

[evocalize]

Alright. Give me a call if you'd like to hang out afterwards. See you later. [He waves a hand, though he won't close the door until Ryoji's far away.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Wait! I don’t think I have your number! I can’t believe I never asked for it…

[He runs back up the stairs, secretly relieved to have an excuse to stay.]

[evocalize]

Ah! You're right, we never did give it to each other...hang on. [He takes out his phone, ready to give his as soon as he has Ryoji's number too.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji holds out his phone and recites his number with a sheepish grin.]

Silly that we never remembered to get them before, huh?

[evocalize]

Maybe, but we didn't have a reason to do so before. [Too busy with girls, the both of them...anyway, he gives his number shortly after that.] Alright, see you later then. I think Aigis is up...

[notsogrimreaper]

Ahaha, then I better leave before she sees me… thanks a lot. You’re an amazing person, Minato.

[And before he can see Minato’s reaction to that, Ryoji turns and runs off.]

[evocalize]

Eh? What do you- oh, it's too bad that track team's out of slots. [Aigis appears not long after that followed by a series of questions about whether Ryoji was here, and then Minato possibly had fun hanging out with him after that assuming he isn't grounded.

Ha.]
