who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if they’re a couple
who has to bust or bail the other out of jail
who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues
who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the other’s eyes
who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk
who starts and who wins the pillow fights
who says “your pants would look better on their floor” to the other’s potential crush

Would he be spending Christmas away from home…again? As if it wasn’t dejecting enough being back here of all places, powerless as ever to protest his involvement in the alleged experiment. A lot had changed in Sousuke’s absence, and once more the former athlete needed time to let it all sink back in.
After what felt like hours of being seated, motionless on a street bench, eyes locked onto the blur of citizens darting by, a flicker of hope finally jolted his stern gaze. A familiar face, standing out from the crowds though she was not particularly conspicuous - It didn’t matter, she’d been a friend, or at least as close to one as he’d gotten in the City.
A hinted smile, and slight hand gesture formed his idea of a ‘greeting’ which he hoped would be enough to catch the girl’s notice.
For some time, they’d not run into one another. Out of wonder for meeting again, Misaki had checked her phone a while back, to find him simply… not there. He’d left? Well, if he was happy, she was.
Though he’d never been far from her mind - someone she could call a friend, a close one at that, and she missed him. She’d wondered if perhaps it had been a trick of the mind for him to be seated on a bench nearby, as she filtered through the crowd of the pavement.
But it was better to try and look a fool for imagining than not daring. She’d slipped out of the flow, exiting on his side and strode towards the swimmer, a smile evidently on her lips.
“You’re back? What was it… missing Nagisa and Nitori?” A… roundabout way of welcoming him back. “It’s good to see you again”.
Oh, ha ha. Though the most irksome thing about her farcical statement was that it wasn't entirely wrong! It was only natural that he should miss Nitori, having become quite fond of the younger teen. But even Nagisa had (literally) hacked and shoved his way into Sousuke’s esteem, a feat which actually wasn't as difficult to achieve as he let others believe.
“Very funny.” He rolled his eyes at her jest.
“I guess if you’re saying that, it means they’re both still here, huh?”
That must've been rough for them, not that the peppy blond ever looked short of deliriously overjoyed about everything. He’d at least been granted intervals of reprieve -more than he could say for his poor comrades, and more than he could say for Misaki who seemed to have been part of the experiment forever and a day. Averting his gaze to the side, her final comment was acknowledged a little awkwardly, nodding to indicate a similar feeling on his part,
“You too, you look well.”
“You are doing ok, aren't you?”
Yes, she was in one piece and smiling...that didn't mean Sousuke wouldn't need a verbal confirmation before he stopped being concerned.

You couldn’t remember the last time you went for a leisurely swim. sure, hundred of years into the future Earth was 99% water but it was nowhere near a beach or pool, for that matter. it was actually pretty safe to assume that the sea surrounding you back then was dangerous, hence never bothering to take an occasional dip from time to time.
the city wasn’t located near an ocean but there were indoor pools scattered around if you went looking for them. you hadn’t quite situated yourself in your new home yet so visiting a pool was all part of your exploration process. a few minutes had passed since you changed and entered the swimming area yet only your toes had grazed the water. you sat at the edge of poolside watching swimmers doing laps, dazing off and only partially paying attention.
❝you’re pretty good at that.❞ you nodded towards a nearing swimmer, the compliment was offhanded and surprisingly lacked its usual flirtatious undertone. ❝you a professional or somethin’?❞ you were always friendly but it was possible that you were putting yourself even more out there than usual. the number of friends you had previously had severely dwindled after arriving so it couldn’t hurt to reach out a little bit.
He shouldn't have been here , or at least, not recklessly tearing up and down Olympic sized pool lengths, feeling the strain and pinching of tendons in his shoulder with each rotating stroke. It was the kind of negligent behaviour he'd be the first to lecture others over, eventually reasoning that just an hour at half his usual vigour wouldn't contract that much more damage.
Slowing his pace as he neared the poolside to ready his posture for another seamless transition into a new lap, the other woman’s focus on him did not go unnoticed. The swimmer stopped, steadying himself on the slippery edge and gazing up at her blurry form through fogged goggle lenses.
“Not anymore”
A curt, but sadly honest response that stung just as much, if not more than the injury plaguing his body itself. Not wanting to appear disinterested, yet equally as reluctant to continue with this particular subject, Sousuke sought to redirect the flow of conversation elsewhere. Perhaps, finding out why someone entered a public pool, only to linger casually on the water’s edge.
“Are you not getting in?”

A box...huh, that was a complimentary kick in the teeth he’d not prepared for. Fortunate to have been spared the shabby, vagrant housing his first few rounds in the City, it appeared Sousuke’s luck had run its course on that front. At least they’d had the courtesy to provide a carton large enough to accommodate the swimmer’s slightly encumbering frame...just about.
Hands and knees padded across the gravel floor as he crawled in to explore his cardboard haven, legs still sticking out from the cut out door when something was felt kicking against his shin. Neck contorting uncomfortably to peep through another hole he presumed to be a window, Sousuke released a silent, exasperated sigh. Surely, his legs weren’t obstructing that much of the path.
“I’ll be out the way in a second.”

“……….”
“Ya-Yamazaki-senpai?”
“YAMAZAKI-SENPAI!!!”
And as much as it pained Sousuke to see his kouhai still captive in this senseless experiment , there was no ignoring the wash of relief felt when his name was tearfully called out.
“Ai...”
“Don’t cry.”

*blows the dust of this muse* uuuhh so I’m all rusty over here but if anyone would like a small open to bring me back to life, like this post I’ll write a thing!
To:Samezuka group; Iwatobi group; Gou; Kisumi From: Sousuke 1/3 Hey 2/3 I’m still here 3/3 Stop worrying
He probably took a wrong turn somewhere and has been ambling the streets ever since trying to make his way home.
“Sousuke…” I’m not a little girl anymore. That’s what she wanted to say. “We can go back to the apartment if you want.”
“Yeah, good idea.”
Who knew what manner of depravity would escalate from here, it was safer to usher her out of the way now. Even if it meant getting lectured later on for treating her like a little kid.
“It’s just for a little while, ok.”
“Sousuke-kun… I’m 17…”
“I know how old you are.”
He’s still not budging an inch until this whole mess is over and done with.
“Isn’t this stuff normal? Comon guys…leave him alone.”
Casually steps out in front of her, blocks her view of everything.
“You don’t need to see this.”
Nothing! I thought I had the right on too! Maybe he’s playing a prank.. hmmm. She was definitely in shock when there was nothing in the hand she chose, but that quickly melted away when he offered to let her choose again. She pivots on her heel and gives him a calculating stare, eyes narrowed as she stares from his closed hand, then to his expression. "Is that one empty too?" She says with a slight tilt to her head, a smile tugging at her lips. Though, she couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by curiosity and soon she caved.
"I.. mean I do want to see what’s in it!"
Sousuke held his ground, gaze stoic and impenetrable even when faced with the powerful force of her pointed stare. He wasn't going to leak a single tiny detail pertaining to mysterious item still concealed in his fist.
“Why don’t you find out?”
Flicking his wrist as a last taunt, he finally flipped his palm over, uncurling digits to uncover the much anticipated prize....a piece of string.
“There.”
“Do you like it?” He predicted her reaction wont be one of enthralment, but that was kind of the point of the gift. For now.
