[水] - Mizumachi only laughed in response. Of course he gets it! He is always up for something interesting and fun! That’s indirectly how he got wrapped up in this mess to begin with! He wanted to try training in another country, messed up and somehow found himself in Bellevue on some exchange program or whatever it was. He should have followed the rest who went to train in the Americas. Where else can you train to become a great American Football Athlete than America? Well, he wanted to be different.

Needless to say, he sure messed that up, but alas! That’s okay! He’s been having fun here, and he’s met all kinds of interesting people, you know?

      “Haha! Yeah, investigating curious things is always fun!
            I like to travel to the beach a lot.
       Meet new people, gather shells, swim, check people out, beach volley, or tan!”

One of those things was not quite like the others. Who goes to the beach to play ‘Beach volley,’ right? It was all about Beach football! Everything else was common sense for when you go to the beach. It was just like how it was a duty of a guy to try to peep at the girl’s baths at least once in their life time on a field trip. Yep. That’s what youth is about.

Sometimes Mizumachi would be piling up stools in the bathhouse so he can make a platform to dive off of so he could start swimming in the bathhouse. Then he’d get scolded by his friend Kakei. Be made to apologize, and then have to settle down and sit in the warm bath like a ‘good boy’.

      “Nhaa~ I do! I got a loud voice!
             I’ll be a dynamic announcer! Yeah!
       I also competitive swim and play American football.
            It’s tough to balance everything, but it’s all worth it.”

He did love swimming and playing American football, so he was willing to put forth the effort.

      “Ah! So you wanna follow me back to the dorms, or something?
              I’m headed there myself and we can keep talking.” 

All is good to stand around and talk, but they should get going before it gets too dark, right?

      “The beach?” Kyouhei hadn’t been to a beach in forever. He could only faintly remember going as a little kid, seeing the water go on without an end, touching the sky (in his mind, that’s what it was doing) on the horizon.

      “Are you a beach-y person, Mizumachi? Is there a beach in Bellevue?” If so, the brunet definitely wanted to go there. Would the sand be as hot as he remembered? The sea as salty? No doubt it’d be more intense, now.

      He totally glazed over the majority of what the larger man said, due to overthinking, but he could’ve sworn… well, it wasn’t really any of his business, right? Right.

      Still, it was amazing that Mizumachi had so much on his plate and seemed to have energy to spare (if the current conversation was telling). It made Kyouhei a bit envious.

image

      “I’m sure with your enthusiasm, you can get whatever announcing job you want - and at least you’re doing what you want to do, so that has to make it a little easier?” Not that he was the expert in following dreams, but it always seemed to be easier to do something when you enjoyed it.

      Kyouhei took out his phone and peered at the time, noting that it was, in fact, much later than he should be pushing his free time to be, and made a long ‘eh’ noise.

      “I would really appreciate that, thanks!” With a soft grin, Kyouhei pocketed his phone and turned to his now-guide and mock-saluted. “After you!”

[水] – He’d met a lot of people in his time being a student at Oakville. People were getting lost here and there in various areas of the campus, and sometimes like Kyouhei here—they ventured quite the distance away from where they had wanted to go.

     “Haha! Yeah, really.
          Nothing wrong with an adventure though, right?
      You never know what you’ll find or what friend you can make.”

Leave it to him to look on the bright side of things. This was the guy, who had dislocated his shoulder from rough-housing around too much, and could be found later trying to ‘surf’ down the hallways with the hospital beds or a wheelchair the moment someone took their eyes off him. He simply couldn’t be controlled very well.

image

     “Ohhhhh—I don’t really get it, but it sounds real smart!
            Good luck, dude! I’m sure ya got this!
       Nhaahaa~ Yep! I wanna be a bombastic announcer!”

Just like a certain announcer back at home. That guy was so full of energy and it was always fun listening to him scream into the mic!

      “See? You get it! Sometimes all you need is to walk around and see what’s there in order to find something interesting.” Kyouhei became gradually quieter as he kept talking, not wanting to draw too much attention to himself but! Still excited to talk about exploring the unknown!

image

       “ Not that I would do it all the time, of course, I do have responsibilities, but the sentiment is still there.” His smile was wide and honest as he finished. “I’ll always be in the mood to investigate everywhere.”

      It was that sweet sentimentality that would probably end up with the brunet being kidnapped (or worse) one day, but for the moment he was happy to look around with optimistic idealizations.

      “It is kinda smart I guess?” Biochemistry had some complex mechanics, but Kyouhei didn’t feel as if he should comment too much on it if he wasn’t enthusiastic about it. “And you’ve got the bombastic part covered!

      “You also… have the voice for it? You’re loud and attention grabbing,” realizing how that might sound, the aspiring biochemist held his hands up defensively, “not in a bad way!”

[水] - Mizumachi laughed at his joke and was playing along with Kyouhei. Always good and fun to play with other people, right? It was much more fun to just laugh along with people than to fight against it. He personally enjoyed being happy at almost all hours of the day. 

image

       “Hm? Nahhh not really that obvious, it was just a guess.
              I just meet a lot of people who move here from elsewhere.
        Local people can get lost too, ya know?”

Just because they were locals, it didn’t mean they had to know their way around every campus, but just something about Kyouhei made him seem like he wasn’t around from these parts. Not sure what. 

       “Bio…whatywhat? Sounds real complicated and smart
              I’m a sports communications major.
        I wanna be like those sports announcers, ya know?”

Just shouting plays into the microphone, telling the audience an enthusiastic play by play to help them feel more involved in the plays.

      “Really?” Kyohei wondered if anyone else had gone to Mizumachi for help - honestly, it wouldn’t be a surprise seeing as the sportsman seemed to ooze a friendly, approachable aura.

      Still, it was a weird concept, thinking that other people explored and became lost just like him, but when he thought about it…. he couldn’t be the only unfortunate person around, right?

      “Chemistry. It’s a science… the science of chemical and physicochemical responses. It is really complicated,” but not so once you got the theories down, or so his professor had assured.

image

      “Sports Communications… huh, that sounds really interesting! I can totally see you as an announcer at a game, directing everyone’s attention and explaining what’s going down…!”

[水] - Mizumachi laughed a hearty little laugh. He wasn’t making fun of Kyouhei in the slightest. He just felt like laughing? The fields were nice, weren’t they? It is a playground for all athletes pretty much and just looking upon all the fields… yeah, it made him happy. When you’re happy, you LAUGH, don’t ya?

      “Yeah, for real dude.
               Haha, what’s to apologize for? You’re good.
        The dorms are clear waaaay over there, but it’s not too bad.”

There wasn’t really such a thing as a shortcut, but there was a lot of beautiful scenery to take in. If you timed it right, you may be able to catch a bus and ride a few stops and get dropped off at the dorms. Those were for those days you were dead tired after practice.

image

     "So, you moved in pretty recently, huh?
              What are you majoring in? Undecided?“

He was just making some small talk to just get a better feel for what kind of person Kyouhei was. After knowing a bit more about him, he could offer to walk him the rest of the way over to the dorms. Can’t let him get lost again, right?

      “It could be worse, I suppose - I could’ve walked off campus completely!” Kyouhei joked, unable to help to laugh along with Mizumachi - it was infectious, and hey, not hurting anyone!

image

      Still, he couldn’t help but squint back at the direction he’d been provided - trying to find a familiar sight, like a landmark that he’d walked past earlier. Maybe he should try to pay more attention to his surroundings….

      “Yeah, I only moved to Bellevue recently, actually.” From the western coast of California, not that he would say that bit out loud. “I suppose it’s a bit obvious, huh?

      “I’m majoring in biochemistry, actually. Already decided and have a plan set up and everything! What about you?”

[水] - Hm? Well, he just told you, didn’t he? Even if you ask him what section of the University you were at, this was the sports grounds, and most students didn’t consider this a part of the school considering how far away it was. Students just referred to it as the practice grounds.

The fields weren’t connected to the campus and you had to walk a good distance away so that they would be able to make use of the space and make room for the various sports fields for athletes to practice in. Most students considered it a different area entirely seeing as it was far from the University itself. 

image

      “Hah? I mean, you are on the practice grounds near the pool?
              You walked pretty far away from the school, ya know?
        There isn’t too much around here ‘sides the pool or the fields.
               If you walk over that way, that’s the football field, and the soccer field.”

He started pointing out where the various fields were. One may think he was being sarcastic or something, but he was being serious. He can come off as being rude at times, but he never meant any ill. He was just blunt and not exactly a thinker. He’d often say whatever was on his mind without thinking it through first. Sometimes this landed him in trouble

       "The dorms huh? That’s clear waaaaaaayyy over there. 
               The school is in that direction and past the school is where the dorms are.“

Dude… you walked really far during your exploration. 

      “Ohh, is that what all the fields are for?” Kyouhei had never been to a school so big, with so many activities and clubs offered, so he hadn’t known. All he’d really thought was that the University owned a lot of property.

      Following Mizumachi’s impromptu - all in one place - tour was interesting, and he felt better knowing where everything was.

image

      “For real?!?” The student slapped a hand over his eyes with a groan, really confused - and kind of done with himself - as to how he’d done that without noticing. Maybe the beauty of campus had distracted him. “Ah, that’s! Pretty weird, sorry.”

      “You’re right, that’s wa-a-a-ay farther then I thought I was? Thank you for telling me before I went farther, haha.”

[水] - Haha! So he got himself lost? Well that’s understandable, he’s been there and he’s done that too. So he’s lost… huh?

      “Well… you are… here
              Like you are near the swimming pool.” 

That’s where he did some self-practice. He didn’t know where the guy was trying to go so he couldn’t help him find his way around. 

image

       “So like, what’s your name again? 
               I think I missed it. 
        I can maybe help you find your way around, but where are you going?”

If you simply wanted a buddy to walk around the campus with, and possibly get yourself even more lost, then he could certainly help you! He can send you on some wild goose chase! Just let him know and he can just grab you by the arm and ZOOOoooOOOom!

      “I know that.” Kyouhei let out another laugh, gesturing at their surroundings animatedly, not minding the sarcasm (?) because it didn’t seem condescending at all. “But, I mean… what section of the University? What’s it close to?”

      Honestly, the brunet should’ve grabbed a map, or a guide, for this magnificent disaster. But then who knows what would’ve happened.

image

       “You didn’t miss it, I just haven’t introduced myself yet!” He should be ashamed, where were his manners? He certainly wasn’t making it easy for Mizumachi to help him. “My name is Kyouhei, and… I’m still exploring? But I need to find my way back to the dorms, soon. So that’s my destination.”

[水] - Mizumachi had just finished some self-practice and was on his way to the dorms when he heard a voice speaking out. He ignored it at first, because he didn’t think they were talking to him, but a quick glance around showed that there was no one around but him!

Could it be? That the person was actually referring to him? Ehhhhh—?

image

     “Ya talking to me?
            I’m a sir? Nhaaha! I’m not a sir, dude.
       Just call me Mizumachi.”

He laughed, a ‘sir’ was just too stuffy, wasn’t it? It was just so… so… serious sounding? Like an uppity old man who was all about like… he didn’t know—whatever it was that old guys did. Mizumachi was as free of a spirit as water was like… formless.

Okay,  he was done laughing. He looked at the guy with a broad smile.

     “So what did ya need again? I forgot.”

No, you didn’t forget, he just never told you what it was he needed yet.

      “Ah, izzat so?” Kyouhei laughed a little too, charmed by the informal way the stranger spoke and being able to relax because of it. “Mizumachi it is then.”

image

      This was a stroke of good luck on his part - this guy seemed friendly, definitely the right person to ask for help! He returned the spirited strangers smile in kind.

      “Well, actually, I was hoping you could help me figure out where I am?” The brunet explained, a little embarrassed but not much, his hands clenched in his pockets. “I was wandering around the University - it’s so big, yanno? Begging to be explored! - and I took one too many turns without paying attention and now I’m lost.”

      Kyouhei loved exploring, so it made sense that as soon as he found out (and made mental notes) on where his classes were in the University were, he’d want to see the rest of it.

      It was a big place, after all! No doubt there would be lots of cool things and even more friendly people (an exciting prospect, followed by an even better one).

      Unfortunately, both factors were spelling his undoing - the Uni was too large and his curiosity and will to explore were too strong, he ended up a little lost. Lost enough that he definitely needed help finding his way back to the dorms.

      On the lucky side of the situation, there was someone right there! He sped up so that he would reach them quickly, smiling a bit nervously, and spoke up before approaching them (him?) politely.

      “Excuse me! Could I steal a moment of your time, sir?”
