friday nights were nothing too special -- kuro wasn’t the type that cared to go out, since he really hated being surrounded by a bunch of people that he didn’t necessarily care for. instead, he would much rather just sit in his apartment & drink by himself. he had a horror flick playing on the t.v., which he was hardly paying attention to at the moment. on his coffee table was a decent amount of empty beer cans & a couple of cigarettes that were already snuffed out. he wasn’t expecting anyone to come over, since akai was busy, and enyou was likely passed out for the night already -- so, hearing someone knock on the door was quite the surprise. cursing to himself as he got up, he could only hope that the visitor wasn’t his brother; he wasn’t in the mood for a long speech about his bad habits. opening the door slowly, it was strange to see the small green inkling standing there. “oh, dori? ‘sup?” he slurred, leaning against the door frame for support. it wasn’t unusual for them to hang out, but she usually at least gave him some kind of warning before just showing up.

the fact that there was something off with the royals was meant to be kept under wraps, since it would likely cause panic among the rest of the inklings & occtolings. it wasn’t something that kin necessarily understood himself either -- it was just an instinct for his survival, just why he was like this was completely unknown even to him. he spent lots of time in his office, finding himself most comfortable in a place where he could keep the amount of light in the room as dim as he would like. despite the fact that he had his own office, that didn’t mean that he was safe from visitors every so often. the fact that he couldn’t control just when he would succumb to his own urges & lose control of himself only made it more difficult for him when people would drop by unannounced. 

the red octoling he knew as hinoko came around fairly often to see agent eight & even that friend of his sister’s. he’d seen her lurking in the hallways, looking more lost than ever each time she visited. though what he had not expected was for her to knock at his door, thinking that it was marina’s rather than his own. it was even more surprising when he answered the door to see the smaller octoling, he couldn’t help but look down at her with a hint of confusion. kin kept himself locked in his office for quite some time, feeling off about his own mindset . . . but when he heard someone at the door he couldn’t ignore it in the case that it was one of his agents.

it wasn’t often that aoi took part in turfs, simply because she was not the best when it came to fighting . . . at all. in truth, she was terrible at it -- she usually just colored the ground with her roller. it was far too big for her to flick, so she could only push it around on the ground. the worst part about taking part in them was that the team were completely random. therefore, she had a big chance of being on the opposite team of shiro, rather than on his team. she would have felt much more comfortable if he was there to watch her back, but the moment that it started she realized that he was her enemy, not her teammate.

kuro really hated to be seen at kin’s base, mostly because not only was he not meant to be an obvious member of the royal’s team, but he also wasn’t a fan of having to see haiiro anywhere near himself ( or midori for that matter ). when the golden inkling insisted on seeing him, he figured that at least afterwards he would be able to stop in and visit his girlfriend while he was there. he had yet to tell her about his affiliation with the royals, so he would simply tell here that he was merely there to visit her. when he didn’t see her inside of her office, he plopped down in her chair to wait for her. seeing her door open, his eyes lit up like an excited puppy & he sat up a little straighter. “sup, doriiii?” he asked in his usual tone, almost seeming out of place with the formal setting.

the last time that he saw midori, he’d stupidly snapped & yelled at her. it was honestly the first time that he allowed himself to be so rough with the smaller, threatening her as if she were simply another stranger. he just couldn’t stand the fact that she would bring up her past crush on the agent. it really irritated him, since he could never see himself as someone to ever match the grey inkling. he was calm in ways the the taller knew he could never be -- it led him to wonder just how she came to like him in the first place. if she like haiiro in the past, then what was so appealing about a violent, hot headed delinquent.

whenever he fucked up like this, he wasn’t sure how to go about apologizing. considering the fact that she hadn’t texted him or anything in a week or two, he figured that the woman did not want to see him anymore. he could understand, since he usually scared everyone away from him with his violent personality; not even his family cared to be around him. kuro felt even more guilty, considering that it was the first time that he made the girl cry ( semi ) intentionally. usually, it was just his teasing that upset her without meaning to . . . but when she cried because he yelled at her, that was certainly his fault. like, actually his fault, not just a mere accident. he wasn’t good at fixing things at all, usually he just ruined things -- it’s how he’d always been his whole life. to make matters worse, he simply resorted to substance abuse to make him feel less guilty about it all. his drinking habits weren’t terrible, but his smoking habits on the other hand were something else. especially when it came to him and enyou hanging out, they usually did nothing but lay in the blue inkling’s room & smoke.

despite the fact that they were now dating, that didn’t change the fact that they still did turf wars together. with turfs, they always ran the risk of being placed on separate terms. considering that he liked the girl, he really didn’t want to run around crushing her with a roller, nor did he want to cause her harm in any way. it was honestly surprising that there would be anyone in the world that kuro didn’t want to hurt. ever since he was a child, he never cared about being violent towards anyone -- not even his own family. but something about the woman was more precious to him than anyone that was related to him by blood. the moment that the teams were decided, he saw that they were placed on the opposite teams.
