explanation was being given, focus solely on the other as caleb listened patiently and in turn attentive, nodding his head slightly until yu mentioned that he wouldnât want to hear about boring things like that, â itâs not boring. â genuine, light, caleb smiles at the other with a raised brow, â i think itâs interesting, i donât know a lot of uh, culture ways to be honest, so itâs always interesting to hear and know. â he pauses for a moment, giving a little shrug to his shoulders, â in canada we just use everyoneâs first names, so there you would just be called yu for the most part, some people might use mr.narukami if youâre in trouble or to show respect or something? â
it really depended on the social cues, and situation but that wasnât really going to be an issue since he doubted yu would ever be visiting canada, though it was still knowledge to know. amusement flickers within blue hues, brow raising as he follows the otherâs lead in swaying, glancing down once or twice to double check that his feet wasnât going to squish yuâs toes before resting on the other again. â iâm going to assume it was rough and not so jolly. â there was little sympathy mixed in with that amusement, â sorry that your morning wasnât so fun. âÂ
mention that school dances seemed to be a lot more pleasant setting up, and caleb couldnât disagree with that, student council was the one to decorate the gym for the most part, most students didnât have to do anything, â it sounds exhausting, i didnât expect all the hard work. though youâre right, we have our freedom for the night..â he hums softly to the song as question about his old highschool came forth, taking a moment to think of all the differences between this one and his old one, â well, we donât have a homeroom, not really anywayâŚclasses were taught by different teachers in different classrooms, so it was always a race to get to them, thereâs also the school year, we ended our classes in june and start in septemberâŚthatâs different here. âÂ
he could go on about all the differences though caleb falters, looking a little sheepish, â thereâs a lot honestly, but this almost seems more chill than my old highschool. â and when yu questioned if he really enjoyed the contest caleb couldnât help but flush a little embarrassed. was he supposed to dislike it? everyone appeared to have worked hard on the performances. â iâm serious, you guys did a good job, it takes a lot of bravery to do something like that, reminded me of spirit days at school where all the guys ended up dressing like girls and the girls dressed like guysâŚâ a pause, haunted house catching his focus, grin forming, â i thought it was well done for a highschool haunted house, considering a lot of people didnât want to go in, glad to know iâm not the only one that went inâŚand it can only get better from here on out, practice makes perfect, but i agree.. âÂ
âItâs not?â He blinked, confused at that. This was a first. Itâs not like he rambled a lot on habit unless he had studied the subject well, be it from school or his own free time of reading books to kill time when he didnât feel like leaving the house.It made him smile and feel appreciated in a way. âWell, thank you. Thatâs basically the short version. Itâs also considered rude to enter someoneâs home or your own wearing shoes. You should leave them at the entrance first. It may seem strange to walk in your socks.â He gave him a sympathetic look. As he learned more about Calebâs culture, he found it interesting as well. âI see, that... would be an odd feeling. And yes, thatâs right. Excluding King Moron who used my last name because of his authority.â He was glad they caught the killer before anything worse happened, though they did have a few loose ends to tie up.
He was happy the other male was being so honest with him and relaxed more, although only for a moment as he accidentally stepped on his foot because he was too busy listening and quickly recoiled. âSorry about that...â He muttered, hoping he hadnât stepped on him too hard. His focus was back on his words. âItâs alright, Iâm used to it a little.â He pursed his lips for a second to nod, his smile widening a bit. He loved having his freedom, especially going out at night when his uncle wasnât home. âIn different classrooms? So, you have to move every now and then. It sounds... unnecessary. Your summer break starting earlier than ours sounds like a dream come true.â He lowered his voice, not wanting anyon but Caleb to hear that. âYouâre very lucky.â In fact, he might have been slightly jealous of his different lifestyle on the inside. He was quite used to his, however, and would find it hard to adjust to it.
âYou can tell me more if youâd like. Iâd love to learn more about it. In fact, itâs rare that we learn anything more than basic English here. I can read and write it, but nothing more than that.â He explained. âIâm slowly getting better at it, however. Iâm busy with... other afterschool activities.â On the topic of the crossdressing event, he truly was shocked Caleb enjoyed it. âHaha, weâre supposed to wear our normal uniforms and I was dragged into it, but I have to admit I enjoyed myself there a little.â He confessed rather sheepishly.  âSpirit days? Youâre a lot more open and advanced than we are as a country. How often do you have spirit days?â He asked, nodding at his comment on the haunted house. âAh, you must have gone in later than us. I didnât see you as I was rather busy.â With tending to everyoneâs requests but that was beside the point. âIâm happy you enjoyed yourself at any rate.â
