are you parents out?

i think so? my sister's around somewhere, though!

nods

getting nervous. Dinner went well, but they're still not... not...

we should go up~ (´ｖ`)

so, how about that dessert?

oh, right! i still have the popsicles. i *told you*~

wanders off into the kitchen.

drops his bag and plops down on the couch

wonders if there's anything on TV, but given the time it'd probably be porn, so maybe not.

ambles back in, bringing strawberry-flavored popsicles. hands on to izumi.

*ones, orz

strawberry? *raises eyebrow*

I don't remember buying strawberry ones?

.......ehe, we didn't? oops. (´A`)

that's a bold flavor to pick, considering.

developed a fondness for strawberries, okay. don't judge him. D:

opens his, and stares at it with great and serious intensity as he says "looks delicious" :|

blushes so hard it feels like his face is on fire.

you're very red.

what he did was stupid, because now *he's* embarrassed about eating the damn thing

it's just the heat! don't mind me!

ahh. Well, the popsicle should help with that?

yes!

still very flustered! (´A`) opens his and says "umasou~" with less enthusiasm than normal.

slightly uncomfortable with Mizutani just standing there

so, do you want to tackle that homework now, or leave it to tomorrow?

realizes he looks like an idiot still standing up and takes a seat.

we could start on a bit of it now, i guess?

eating his popsicle thoughtfully. his notes are pretty long, but they should be okay since they have tomorrow, too..

'kay.

scoots closer to look at Mizutani's notes

proud of the handwriting he used for them! it's his best. :>

do you usually write this well?

tempted to say yes, but he'd probably get busted right after, so. XD

not really~ (´A`) but i figured we'd be in trouble if we couldn't read them, so!

good thinking. can I...

takes a sheet from Mizutani's hands.

that's what I'm missing, I think.

blinks.

okay, i'm pretty familiar with this one. :>

starts peering over the lesson, frowning.

also shifts a little closer to Mizutani as he does so.

surreptitiously edging closer to izumi, too. :>

aware of every half centimeter of progress they're making, which makes it rather difficult to focus on the English. :/

ask me if you have trouble with anything! (´ｖ`)/

smrt.

I don't get this. Any of this.

like Tajima, except less smug.

something drip on his hand, and realizes he's left the popsicle to melt.

dammit.

licks the juice from his wrist

....................!

his mouth go dry, um.

it's not going to be enough.

Mizutani his popsicle and gets up.

also, quite possibly, staring a lot.

I'll just go was my hands. :/

wash*

...right! bathroom's down the corridor to the left?

I'll be right back!

heads to the bathroom while licking his fingers clean

covers his face with his hands, still blushing.

(would remark that Mizutani is currently holding both popsicles, if he were there >_>)

washes his hands and splashes water on his face, because he really needs to cool down.

(is talented that way, orz.)

takes a deep breath. he can do this!

comes back to the living room and sits down a lot closer to Mizutani than he was before.

sorry about that.

takes his popsicle back from Mizutani and starts eating it in as asexual a way as one can eat a big phallic red thing.

no problem~

figures he'd better finish off his, too, and does. omnomnomnom!

stares as discreetly as he can

finishes his popsicle and yawns

more tired than I thought.

tries and fails not to stare at izumi's mouth (red from popsicle~) and eats the rest of his to cover up for it.

mumbles, "should we turn in early?"

I guess?

we should definitely take this upstairs, it'll be more comfortable.

okay~ (´ｖ`)/

and also I won't be worried that your sister will catch me trying to cuddle with you on the couch

gathers his stuff to go to Mizutani's room.

goes upstairs and calls over his shoulder~

you can have first bath! (´ｖ`)/

ah, thanks.

he really should have thought about the bathing thing beforehand. >_<
