[Sousuke sees your wink and chooses to disregard it. Instead he leads the way into the house.]
It's fall, it's always rainy in the fall.
Nobody specifically, it's just hard to get information about your past self because it seems to weird people out. Did you know me, when I was here before?
Yeah it is, you'd think I would be used to it by now, right?
[ the exasperated sigh, hanging on sousuke right now ]
Yeah, we hung out a bit and worked at the Honeybee together, it wasn't like super eventful. Just kind of like getting back into a routine together, you know?
[ he thought on this for a moment and then laughed ]
Oh yeah, and Kise didn't like you much because he thought you looked scary. I told him you were a good guy, but you know kids these days~
Yeah, sure! Do you have any cola in there? I'll take a fruit juice if you don't~
[ it's okay sousuke, he won't hang on forever. in fact right about now he's slipping off to go and lean back against a counter ]
It's up to you right? Like what you feel like doing, you shouldn't be obligated to fall back into a previous visit if you don't remember it.
[ trying to be helpful, even though it would be cool to work with a bro again ]
Kise is a basketball player that goes over to the Sports Centre Rin runs, he's a good guy, just a little excitable. [ he's going to avoid the fact that he was a little like himself ]
I'm sure Rin's told you all about the Centre, he's so proud of it, like it's his baby.
[He takes out two and passes one to Kisumi--it's a bit of a luxury, knowing it's free here, but he's pacing himself or it won't seem as special.]
Yeah but if I worked there I must've liked it well enough or been good at it. Why start completely fresh if I don't have to?
[It'll be a brand new start for him right now but he can do in knowing it worked before. It's weird, but it seems to make sense.]
Excitable like you or excitable like Hazuki? [Two completely different things.] And yeah but he's got a right to be. It's incredible, what he's accomplished here.
[ the teasing as he took the drink and began to open it ]
Yeah, I suppose you're right in that way. It's a pretty nice place and the owner is very cute.[ the knowing little grin taking a drink before bringing a hand to his chest ]
Well, I don't mean to gloat, but he certainly does have a little more of me than he does Hazuki. A cute kid afterall. [ he hummed ever so thoughtfully before falling into dramatics, bringing a hand up to his cheek and looking away wistfully ]
But yes, he certainly does, little Rin-Rin has finally grown up. I don't know how to handle this, who will I look on fondly now?
It's not about favourites Sou-nii-chan, you're still my favourite ♡ It's the fact that he was this tiny little thing... and now... [ wistful sigh before taking a drink ]
Who me? Mooch? From you?
[ he wasn't really offended in the least, in fact it just seemed like a good idea overall now that it was out there ]
Hmmm... well... She's Vietnam, from what I understand it? I don't know, it's kind of weird, I haven't asked her about it in great detail but there are others. [ there's a wave of the hand ]
In any case, she's pretty nice to everyone. So I'm sure it'll be fine, we could talk to her together about it if you'd like.
[ ever so helpful ]
But that's so touching... it's like you want to appreciate me as the one and only. I understand, there can never be another me.
Rin's always been the same year as you, you shouldn't have been looking at him fondly in the first place.
[Because of course every word in this conversation is completely serious. He does listen to what Kisumi has to say about Honeybee's, though.]
Like she's named after the country? [No one has explained the countries to him yet.] Yeah, maybe later this week. For all I know she's not even hiring now, but maybe she'll give me a reference.
[Assuming he was actually any good at that job.]
Even in a different universe there's only room for one of you, that's true.
I couldn't help it, he was so small it was hard not to. But it's okay, I got the same way about Makoto in middle school too.
[ ah, memories, why couldn't they all stay young forever? why is he thinking like an old man? ]
Hm? I think the way I've understood it from others is that they're kind of like... representation of the country? [ he wasn't too sure, he hasn't had a chance to ask since he ends up flustering her in other ways ]
Oh, but you don't even have to worry about it. We're always hiring, the turnaround is pretty high since people are always coming and going. Since we get so busy there's usually a duty rotation too, as far as like what kind of service you're working~
[ at this point he not so subtly pulls in next to sousuke, affectionately bumping into him ]
It's okay, you could have me all the time since we live so close now~

[ if he even dares, he could see kisumi hoisted up on the fence from the yard diagonally across from his home waving and grinning it up ]
no subject
dammit.]
i said don't be creepy.
if you're just going to hang on the fence you might as well come over.
no subject
how do you think i wouldn't have noticed you bobbling around there
[ but he's not arguing, climbing over the fence, tucking the phone away as he straightens up his clothes ]
Hey, what's going on~
no subject
Because I lived somewhere else before, or so I'm told. How much time do you spend looking in your neighbor's yards?
no subject
[ he just wanted to make sure the guy was okay, it seemed only right ]
What if a cute girl moved in? I just had to know, but I guess this is the next best thing~
no subject
[But... Kisumi can never stay quiet for long. Hmm.]
Sorry I'm not a cute girl but I'm pretty sure I wasn't a cute girl last time, either.
You wanna come in?
no subject
Sure! It's been raining a lot lately, I don't think we want to get caught in that if it starts up again.
[ but that was strange, he thought for a moment ]
Who do you think is holding stuff back from you?
no subject

You want a drink?
[Wait, what.]
So I had a job? I wonder if I should get that back. And who's Kise?
no subject
[ it's okay sousuke, he won't hang on forever. in fact right about now he's slipping off to go and lean back against a counter ]

[Sousuke cracks his own can open. He can't have too many or he'll get fat but one's no big deal.]
Tachibana said she's Vietnamese, I think? Did we get along? [Was that why he invited him out? Whatever, he can find the place on his own.]
I'd say you should introduce me but I don't know if I could handle a blend of you and Hazuki. Especially not if you're going to be there too.
[His dramatics are met with the purest tsun Sousuke can muster. Who are you why are you in my house.]
There's a basketball player living here too. Quiet, polite. He can be your new favorite.
no subject
Who me? Mooch? From you?
[ he wasn't really offended in the least, in fact it just seemed like a good idea overall now that it was out there ]
