Okumura Rin's Descent

Stones and Illness

Rin yawned, having awoken an hour before the predetermined time-a decision made mostly by Dan, who wanted to be able to see his reflection while getting ready. Dan yawned, echoing Rin, and stretched his arms out above his head.

"Last night was...interesting." Dan said simply, still drowsy as he was not a natural early riser. Rin hummed in agreement, beginning to brush his teeth. Kamiki walked in, the room the two had been in being a public room, and paid Dan no mind, simply assuming him to be an occupant of the dorm building, not thinking that he wasn't a student.

"Good morning." She began, earning back only a hum as Rin finished his activity, spitting into the sink before filling his cup with water to rinse his mouth.
"Don't tell anyone, you know, that I cried last night." She said awkwardly. Rin blinked, surprised.

"Who would I tell?" Rin asked, knowing that Dan already knew of her tears.

"Just promise me." She said quickly. Rin stared at her, perplexed, but ultimately agreed.

"Alright, I won't, happy?" Rin asked rhetorically, lifting his cup to his mouth and tipping it towards him, emptying its contents into his awaiting maw. He gurgled, then spit into the sink once again.

"Here," Kamiki said, looking away in sheepish embarrassment, as she held up Rin's cleaned and folded shirt.
"If you weren't there...who knows what might have happened to Paku and me." She said softly. She bowed, grateful for his assistance.
"So...thank you!" She finished, blushing a slight pink.

"Huh, so, you're a nice person after all? I misjudged you, sorry for that." Rin rubbed the back if his head, grinning slightly. Dan walked over towards them, peering over Rin's shoulder. Kamiki turned up her nose, turning away.

"I washed it because it was dirty." She said.
"And 'misjudged'?! Really?!" She asked, scoring slightly.

"I feel the love." Dan said sarcastically, grinning slyly. Kamiki looked at him, scowling and glaring.

"Excuse me, miss, but this doesn't involve you." Kamiki told, annoyed. Rin cleared his throat, ignoring the dark look that Dan was sending Kamiki, but when this accomplished nothing, he elbowed Dan lightly in the gut.

"Alright, alright, I get it." Dan said, backing up. He glared at Kamiki, who-while not understanding Dan's reason for anger-glared back.

"Polka Brows, this is Dan, Dan, Polka Brows. Get it? Got it? Good." Rin introduced, spinning on his heel and walking away. Kamiki blinked twice.

"Wait...Dan....he's a guy?!" Kamiki exclaimed, realizing her mistake.

-

They're arguing again Dan wrote, nudging the paper to Rin. Rin glanced at it, lifting his own pencil and scribbling back a response.

Yep, He wrote simply. On either side of him, slowly growing nearer, Suguro and Kamiki barked insults to one another, denouncing the other's intelligence and goals and other things of the sort. Rin noticed that the quarrel had begun to draw dangerously near, and he glanced at Dan, who shrugged and decided to try and ignore the argument.

"You really are annoying." Bon told, walking to meet Kamiki in the middle of the front of the room, i.e., in front of Rin's desk. He smacked the wooden top suddenly, the slap of flesh against wood almost deafening to Rin's sensitive ears. Rin jumped in alarm, his tail reflexively trying to jut out into a straight line but, thankfully, was restrained by the leather contraption Rin had made that morning, although, that did not mean that the resulting feeling was pleasant, quite the contrary.
"Don't mock people's dreams like that!" He exclaimed, not missing a beat in his speech.
