GO HARD OR GO HOME

          Yu nods, thoughtful. It wasn’t such an odd concept, after all — he’d met plenty of people who had lived in Inaba their entire lives, like Yukiko and Chie. It was a little foreign to think about, as someone who had always been the ‘transfer student’ in every town and city he ended up, but Yu supposes it isn’t so dissimilar to someone who spent their entire life in the city. Live in the same place all your life and you’re certain to know people …

“It’s nice to know everyone from around town, but... It’s also boring as fuck after a while.” He mused, and sat in a more comfortable manner than before. It’s really unfortunate not having a place you can really call home, but it seems that maybe Narukami finally found the hospitality he need here in Inaba. 

          He’s always been punctual. It’s one of those essential skills that his parents nailed into his head when he was still young, along with early to bed, early to wake, and what you receive is equal to the amount of work you put in. Even when they have to watch the Midnight Channel, he’s always certain to go to bed soon after. Today is no exception, though he’s a little surprised to see Kanji here so soon. Should he be? Probably not, but it’s still a little difficult to completely purge the ‘punk’ appearance that Kanji has from the stereotypes attached to it. 

“Jeez, Senpai, you really don’t like wasting any time. Sometimes, it’s just fine to be late or somethin’.” He mused, but he could understand the other’s need to be on time. It could leave a good first impression, and Narukami was a person who seemed to care about his outward appearance as much as his inner feelings. Kanji, on the other hand, could really care less. Either way, this wasn’t really the time to dally on these kinds of concepts. 

“You’re hair is really soft after you wash it.”

❝ err, i don’t believe there’s any reason for you to feel responsible. It was my fault for misunderstanding but are these … slang terms appropriate? It may prove to be rather difficult for me to adapt another language quite loosely.❞ Though he found ways of blaming himself for the incident, it didn’t eliminate the embarrassment of causing such an unnecessary scene. Maybe it’d be best for her to be educated a little on these slang words as he suggests. But won’t it erase her habit of speaking as she normally did? The others would find it strange as well so the sleuth can’t even picture talking any differently than she already is or understanding, for that matter. Oh, that’s right … he wanted to spend time together for … , actually she wasn’t informed precisely on what they would be doing. And here he is—putting her on the spot. For that reason, a vague blush appeared on her cheeks.

“Jeesh, Naoto, you’re sayin’ this like I don’t know you. Of course I don’t mind doing stuff you like. I mean, sewing’s pretty boring to look at from the side, and I don’t want to put you to sleep in the moment you arrive. Plus! The Samegawa Flood Plains sound like a good idea for now. I could use a bit of moving out of my house.” He gave an innocous smile, as her worried nature always seemed to show up. Some things never really change, but maybe that’s a good thing, since after all, she wouldn’t really be the same person he enjoys hanging out with. Nonetheless, with her approval, it seems that it hahs been decided as to where they’ll go.

He really didn’t see what the big deal was, Shinji. Kanji lived in Inaba, it was more than obvious he’d be around the shopping district. Still, considering the man was new to the place, it was expected of him to not know much. Since they spent time together in the past, he found it of no importance to lash out on him for no reason.
