outside

[and he is, for once wearing shorts and not some kind of swimwear. uuuooaahhhh]

[still rocking those flippy flops tho]

[covenantal]

Yessir, captain vice captain.

[ When Rin arrives, Yu will text him an affirmative and head downstairs to collect his friend. For what it's worth, he, like, seems fine, you know? Nothing really amiss. He'll even wave and smile a little, though once he sees Rin, he'll pause, cupping his chin in his hand and giving Rin a look over. ]

Hm. Something seems strange. Like something critical is missing...

[ even when he's asking rin a favor he won't pass up a chance to give his friend shit ]

[gnasher]

[and the happy, perked look (that Rin embarrassingly gets whenever he sees a friend) becomes a toothy tsundere scowl]

Is it the look of disappointment at the sloppy form of your dives? I'll tape your thighs together next practice.

[covenantal]

[ Just, honestly, beams at him. ]

So cold, captain.

[ His smile cools into something more normal for him as he turns, beckoning Rin to follow. ]

Do you happen to know anything about costume making, by the way?

[gnasher]

[arches an eyebrow, falling easily into step with his friend]

[and recites, surprisingly informatively:]

-- The costume should say something about the character wearing it, and being something unique and memorable, capitalizing on "charm points."

[less like a dictionary of weeb shit:]

Chiyo goes on and on about stuff like that a lot. -- Why?

[covenantal]

[ Kind of ... stares at him ...

Then pulls out his phone and furiously types out some notes. ]

No, no, that's perfect, is there anything else?

[gnasher]

[feels............ judged...................]

...It should be easily recognisable if it's a recreation? Like, if you're dressing up as Santa, make sure you've got a pillow stuffed under your shirt, a beard, and a red hat, you know?

[covenantal]

[ nod nod nod, keeps typing notes. at least they're heading up to the apartment now. no strangers need know your shame, rin. ]

What if it's an original piece? Is there anything special to keep in mind? I've never made a costume before, and I want to make the best effort that I can.

[gnasher]

What are you making a costume for?

[up they go. what a cool and normal day, not about to emblazon itself in Rin's memory as a traumatic incident at all]

You want to stay away from it looking like some b-movie monster, right? So, no visible zippers, or goofy attributes. If you're making something original, it should be something you're really passionate about. That'll probably come out best.

[that's how art works, right? Rin has no fucking idea.]

[covenantal]

Something I'm really passionate about...

[ nods, nods. yeah, yeah, that makes sense, he can do that

(it's. literally what he was told to do by the bingo square) ]

I don't think it's going to be that goofy. The look I'd like to go for would be ... "cute," I think?

[gnasher]

That's just like you...

[snorts, stupidly fondly; what kind of guy admitted he liked cute stuff so easily? this one, apparently -- and it's refreshing (since he frequently feels guilty about his weakness for strays and romcom cute-meets). no, he wouldn't change a thing about Yu for the world]

[(for now)]

Is this for bingo, or a personal project?

[covenantal]

[ The snort gets Yu to glance at Rin out of the corner of his eye, and something about his smile is, for a moment, both crooked and deeply shy.

It's ... strange. It's still so strange. To think others could want to spend time with him, to be his friend...

As they reach the apartment he'll smile for real and let them in. ]

You got me. It's for bingo, though I can't say I hate the idea of it. Take a seat, I'll bring out what I've got so far.

[ Yu will wave in the general direction of the couch. There's cats on it - at least three - all of which scatter at the sight of a stranger. ]

[gnasher]

[heading to the couch as bidden, Rin looks -- briefly, privately heartbroken, that the cats flee from him. god damn he loves them, but he doesn't have the magnetism about him that the twins seem to have -- in fact, dogs seem to like him better, despite his own preferences. maybe two tsunderes just don't attract]

I don't mind helping you out with that. You probably guessed I'm going all out for it.

[he takes his phone out of his pocket, double-checking his own score -- wondering, competitively, if he's beating his teammate already]

[just gonna wiggle around on this couch, trying to spy Very Casually where the cats went]
