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?

[Ryoji doesn't answer, and it's pretty obvious why. His breath is slow and even, and his eyes have drifted closed with the only sound of the shower left to lull him into sleep. His jacket is half on, and it looks like he did try to leave, but after a few days of poor sleep, Ryoji had gotten to the point that he needed to sleep, no matter where he was or what he was doing.

He mumbles softly when Minato shakes him, but other than that, he remains still. He's completely dead to the world, which is strange, considering his eager energy when they chatted just moments before.]
