Drinking tea (Attn Shoryu)

[swordofzero]

Characters: Suzaku Kururugi and Shoryu
Format: Prose
This log is: Closed
Location: Black Dorm common room
Summary: On the evening of rest day Suzaku gets recruited for microwave fixing
Warnings:

Suzaku was the only one in the Black Halls common room, which wasn't surprising since everyone seemed to be doing homework elsewhere. But it was Japanese and Suzaku hated that class, the teacher had made him sit with those who were learning basic Japanese and there was no point because it didn't matter how much he tried he couldn't learn it. His head just filled with fuzziness and he couldn't even think properly. Every time he saw or heard a word he would forget it and the constant memory loss made him feel sick.

So he didn't go, it was the only class he skipped and so he didn't have the homework and so was sat in the common room of his dorm building drinking a cup of tea. He was planning and going to train after this but for the moment he was enjoying the quiet.

"I just hope it's soon," Enki said it absent-mindedly, but then frowned. Why did he feel such urgency to leave? Besides the usual of this place not being home, being horrible and having been kidnapped here, there was something else. He couldn't grasp the reason for that worry, though, and scowled.

[swordofzero]

Suzaku nodded, "I hope so too," but his tone was tinged with helplessness because they had been here a month already and were no closer to knowing who it was who had kidnapped them, what they wanted or if there was any way out.

Shaking his head, Enki gave an annoyed grunt and jumped off the counter.

"It feels like he's deliberately trying to annoy me by wandering off, but I can't come up with why that is..." Enki scowled at the open and empty doorway before walking up to it and pausing there.

"You haven't found anything yet at all?" He didn't think so considering Suzaku hadn't said anything but that he hoped they'd get home soon, but... it was better to ask.

[swordofzero]

Suzaku shook his head sadly, "No, but we're not giving up, so we'll find a way out soon." He gave a reasuring smile even if he didn't feel that confident himself, there was no point in Enki being disheartened as well.

"What's wrong?" He asked in response to Enki scowling at the doorframe.

[choseanidiot]

Blinking, Enki looked up from where he'd been frowning down the hall, and shrugged.

"Probably nothing. Shōryū lives to annoy me anyway, and I do my best to do the same," he smirked back at Suzaku, pushing down the unease over the lack of solution that he couldn't understand, and ignored the faint spark of warmth that was pointing in one direction.

This was so annoying, being ill at ease over something he couldn't remember, and he wasn't sure about the spark. It reminded faintly of when he was looking for the king and followed the ouki, but---

Blink. A shrug.

[swordofzero]

Suzaku nodded, Enki seemed jittery and Suzaku guessed that it probably was because Shōryū was there and Enki had forgotten Shōryū was the king, he glanced at the door and shrugged. "I'll be around if you or Shōryū need me." He thought that Enki was probably going to leave and go find the king, that might stop him being so agitated.

The smile Suzaku was gifted with made Enki suddenly look like the very sweet 13 year old he wasn't (in actual years lived, in any case).

"Thanks, Suzaku." Enki nodded and tossed a wave over his shoulder as he left, but he wasn't so far away Suzaku couldn't hear him muttering.

"How did he know I was going to look for a snack after I found him, anyway?"

[swordofzero]

Suzaku watched Enki go, gave a small wave back and caught the words that the kirin muttered. He shrugged completely confused by everything that had happened, he sighed and wandered back toward the common room mulling over the events in his head. Trying to piece together what had happened with what Enki had told him.

The remains of his tea was cold, but he drank it anyone thinking. Either Shoryu was a really good actor or Enki had been lying, Suzaku could not imagine either senario. After all Shoryu had been nice before he knew Suzaku knew Enki and he could not imagine the Kirin lying.

But there wasn't a third explanation, feeling confused and miserable Suzaku made himself think of something else.
