H-hey! What're you laughing about!?

[HE CALLED YOU TO EMBARRASS YOU, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.]

[takenwithhim]

[But you give him so much to work with!]

You've actually got a maid outfit in your closet?

[Still laughing. Puppy is not amused his perch is shaking.]

[sharkmaid]

N-ngh! Keep it down! You'll... wake up the dog.

[Yeah, Sousuke, geez.]

[takenwithhim]

[Tsk, fine. Toning it down. Though he's definitely curious, maybe a little arched brow.]

I thought that was Nitori's specialty.

[sharkmaid]

Look, I... bought it when I wasn't exactly in my right mind ok.

[takenwithhim]

Uh-huh.

[Cop out excuse in this place.]

[sharkmaid]

I'm serious! S-Someone made me get it.

[takenwithhim]

[... wrong words.]

Who.

[sharkmaid]

Ngh, it was just a friend before he disappeared. And anyway, he wasn't in his right mind either. I don't know if you've met him.

[takenwithhim]

[Not a happy camper atm.]

Tsk... This place. [Muttered like a curse.]

Probably not.

[sharkmaid]

Anyway... I couldn't return the stupid thing so it's just sitting in the closet unused.

[W-well, it's been used... a couple times after that incident, both willingly and unwillingly.]

S-so there. Happy?

[takenwithhim]

Hn.

[Couldn't return it. That just makes him curious, but he's not sure he wants to know. Still, irritation aside...]

...can I see it?

[sharkmaid]

[GUH--]

Wh-why would you want to?

[takenwithhim]

[*smirk*]

Proof.

[And what about what he's heard about the first and second years in Samezuka having to do exactly that?]

[sharkmaid]

[... Ok, that earns Sousuke a line face.]

Don't you trust my word enough?

[takenwithhim]

[Line face. And he breaks, unable to stop the laugh.]

No, no I do. I just wanna see it.

[Heh.] Wanna have a throwdown for it then?

[sharkmaid]

[Oh, so that's how this is gonna go down, is it? Serious as ever, Rin narrows his eyes.

Of course he can never turn down a throwdown.]

Fine. You're on.

[takenwithhim]

[Knew that would work.]

If I win, show me the outfit.

[And rolls his shoulder, neck popping audibly over the connection.]

[sharkmaid]

[And here Rin goes, cracking his knuckles then pushing his chair back, so ready.]

And if I win, you don't.

[takenwithhim]

[He remembers that. Every time. It's nostalgic and makes him grin.

Until he gets serious and slings his arm back, eyes narrowed.]

JANKEN!

[sharkmaid]

JANKEN!

[And right before he swings his hand forward, Rin stands up quickly from his seat, sending his chair falling over backward and onto the floor by the sheer force and speed at which his fist flies forward.

Annnnnd he chooses... rock!]

[takenwithhim]

[The puppy's had about enough of this and promptly bounces off Sousuke's chest to settle between his legs, where there aren't arms flying around and loud noises. Just as warm though.

Sousuke slings his arm forward, his hand moving in front of his face so Rin can see the outcome.

...scissors.]

Dammit.

[sharkmaid]

YES!

[The moment he sees Sousuke's pick, Rin pumps his fist and nearly knocks over the mirror in the process. Hey, he's really into winning, ok?]

Take that, nanny.

[takenwithhim]

[He's gonna glare at his fingers for a few seconds, cause obviously they disobeyed his mind at the last second. He wanted paper.]

Shut up. [He's not done yet! He's got one more ace up the sleeve.]

Lemme see it. ... ... ... And I'll wear something for you.

[Take it or leave it. He's really curious, sue him! Okay so it might now be more a matter of pride and principle over losing.]

1/3

[sharkmaid]

Haha. After all these years and you're still so bad at--
