Day Nine
~

A week passed, where Touya and Keigo had just been hanging round the bar. Touya had said while he was snooping, he had found a PC in Shimura's room, so maybe they could find out some info on their families from it. Spinner had a laptop, but when it was Shimura's turn on the PlayStation, he was on it almost all the time - not to mention his room was a mess. Touya didn't feel like going in there.

Shimura's room, however, was pretty tidy. It even had a comfy spinning chair, so they had decided his monitor would have to do. It was an old Dell PC, with one of those chunky old computer block things in the side, and a square monitor.

“Windows 7,” Touya snorted as it powered up. He pulled the chair back and sat down, while Keigo stood beside him with his arms folded. “What can they possibly get done with this worthless thing?”

“Well, I still remember your iPhone 5C with its cracked screen and faulty battery,” Keigo said, matter of factly. Touya frowned.

“That was back in the day, Kei. I'm above that now.”

They both waited until it showed the desktop with a few folders here and there, with intriguing titles. If he had to name a few: ‘Heist dates - past week,’ ‘Members Info’ and ‘Family’ were the ones Touya was sure would have some really interesting information on Shimura, especially a document called ‘Father's recovery progress’, but that was not what he was here for. There were also other folders with less-clever titles, such as: ‘Top ten PlayStation games (show Iguchi)’ and ‘SKIN TREATMENTS’.

“Go onto history,” Keigo said randomly.

“Why…?”

“I don't know, I just want to see what Shimura's been looking at.”

Just as Touya opened chrome, Keigo reached for the mouse, his hand resting on Touya's for a brief moment. They locked eyes for a few seconds, and Touya felt his stomach do a flip, so he pulled his hand back sharply. The awkward moment passed, now Keigo was scrolling through Tenko's recent history. He paused suddenly.

“Hold on…do you think…” He furrowed his eyebrows as he thought. “Do you think Shimura's watched porn?” Touya shrugged nochalantly.

“I dunno. He doesn't really seem like that type of guy.”

“Touya.”

“Yes?”

“Have you watched porn?”

“We all have at some point. Now shut up about it.”

“Er…just a question-”

“What?”

“Favourite genre?”

“…Hardcore,” Touya said, going pink. He turned back towards the computer, stopped, turned back, and looked Keigo in the eye.

“Wait, how do you know there's-?”

“Oh look, Shimura's been shopping at eBay!” Keigo interrupted, pointing at the screen. Touya peered at it and there it was, ‘4 pack Cherry Chapstick’. Keigo frowned at it - he hadn't thought Shimura was a cherry kinda guy. Maybe a coconut, or-

“Okay, this is going nowhere. We should just find what we need to know and get on with it before the others come back.”

Touya nodded and opened a new incognito tab, typing in the link to a Japanese news site. They were hoping to read the reports on the last few days and see if there was anything about them, or possibly Touya's father.

Once the website loaded, he clicked on the search bar and typed in Yokohama.

“Are you sure about this?” Keigo asked.
