So Kyouhei it was. He nodded in acknowledgment, though it was more likely that he’d use once more the ‘shitty tears’ or maybe even a ‘crybaby’ as way of calling the other.
His blue eyes widened quite a bit as he listened to the -admiteddly crazy- story of how this situation came to be. An ad? So more or less he had asked to be insulted to train himself or something?
“What type of idiot does that?” he ended up voicing his thoughts, clear confussion and mild annoyance painted all over his face. It also angered him that his classmates had thought he’d be ‘ideal for the job’. Preposterous. Even if it somehow did worked out.
“Ahh, I can’t deal with this.“ he shook his head “And why aren’t you drinking the water? You need to hydrate yourself you shity crybaby.”
With such rough words, Izumi gave a light kick to Kyouhei’s chair as if to call for his attention.
A desperate idiot, Kyouhei thought glumly, this time actually tearing up - but not as much as earlier. He’d lost a lot of liquids from that crying session, so this time only a few tears collected in the corners of his eyes.
With a little sniff, he reached up to wipe them away before opening the water bottle and taking a long swig, which cleared up the congestion in his ears caused from all his hiccuping earlier.
“Well I can’t just stay like this - that’s just begging for disaster!” The scene earlier was just a multitude of evidence towards his point, but he wouldn’t use it for sake of redundancy.
“Besides, isn’t it weird to be like this at nineteen? Right? So something has to change, and I can’t just lock myself up for the rest of my life!” Although biochemistry might allow him to do that, with all the time necessary for quiet experimentation… which was beside the point.
Kyouhei took another drink of water before capping the bottle and setting it beside his chair and folding his hands in his lap. “That’s the long and short of it really. Ah, and can I know who you are…?” It was getting a bit awkward of mentally referring to him as ‘the volunteer’ or ‘the silver-haired guy’.
