"It's downright inconsiderate..." the little blonde E'toille cadet yawned as she hung on the arm of her prince, her sleepy face rubbing itself against the sleeve of the older Spican. She was still somewhat moody due to being pulled from bed at such an ungodly hour to go hunt down creeping girls. Amane was quickly having to come to terms with her girlfriend's otherwise well-hidden emotions, smirking at a memory of how, just two weeks ago, Hikari had slightly freaked out (in her usually composed manner) when Amane had used her towel by mistake. "Wouldn't you go sneaking around with me, given the opportunity?" Amane tried to placate the younger girl as they strolled out into the courtyard in the middle of the triangle formed by the dorm buildings. "Been there, done that last year, remember? At least we didn't disturb Shizuma-sama through it." Hikari snorted defensively, oh so unaware of the irony.

Amane suddenly halted as they stepped onto the garden path and turned to Hikari, hands hooking over her petite shoulders. "Hikari-chan, just think of all the poor, lonely girls in Strawberry Hall, pining away for that special friend and drowning in sorrow at being separated from them for too long. They need these nightly adventures to keep them from becoming broken shells of themselves." Amane's plea was dramatic in its content, if not completely in its delivery, but she got the point across. Whether Hikari would accept said point, however, was a different story. "They're not lonely! They're hor..." her bold words were halted as she soon noticed someone staring at the couple from just a few feet away, and though it took a minute or two, Hikari finally recognised the luscious figure of her best friend before she could make out her face. "Yaya-chan! It's you we're out here chasing? Who are you with?!" As Hikari's voice hiked in tone, Amane quickly scanned the area and her keen observation skills could not miss the quick movement by a few wisps of pink hair slightly above them. She smirked and wrapped a comforting arm around her beloved to ease her and said softly, "I think she's alone." Yaya, quiet and honestly a bit surprised at the couple showing up, twitched and flicked the remainder of her cigarette into the dark, hoping to avoid Hikari catching sight of it. "I came out here to think. What are you talking about, Hikari-chan?" Hikari sighed and lowered her brows at her rebellious friend and gave her the short hand version of their adventure into the late night that was her current source of irritation.

"And Hikari-chan automatically assumed that I was de-flowering someone out here in the dirt? Why, I feel offended at your lack of confidence in me!" Yaya's tone was joking more than serious, but her slight bitterness at her loneliness could be noted in the way she watched her friend and her prince's hand-holding. Hikari gave another weary sigh and stepped over to the raven-haired beauty, snaking her small arms around the taller girl's neck, and apologised with a tight hug. After taking a step back, however, her nose wrinkled as she narrowed her own gaze at her beloved rebel. "You've been smoking", Hikari accused sternly.

Yaya's lips twitched as she grew self-conscious and opened her mouth to defend herself, but was cut off by Amane adding to Hikari's dissatisfaction; "Apparently to kiss a smoker is like licking an ashtray." And unknown to the three in the garden, a whisper of "That's what I said!" was released by the pink-haired Spican hiding by her window a few floors up. Yaya could only cross her arms and pout.

The silence of the moment didn't last long as a loud crash suddenly echoed through the courtyard, the noise coming from a glass or porcelain object hitting the ground, judging by the unmistakable shattering sound. Four pairs of eyes were drawn to a window from the Miator wing where more thumps and bumps could be heard emanating from. "Isn't that Nagisa-chan and Tamao-chan's room?" Hikari seemed distressed as she recognised the location of the window and cast a confused look at Yaya, who soon agreed by a nod of her head and added, "Something seems wrong. Come on!" She didn't wait to see whether the E'toille couple would follow her, personally rather glad to escape their nitpicking.

Tsubomi was already lingering outside the door of the Miatorans' room when Yaya, Hikari and Amane arrived, having witnessed the same commotion from her bedroom window and compelled to aid her friends. She was quickly met with the confused expressions of her older peers as they caught her trying to peer inside the room via the key hole and even in the dark of the corridor her furious blush was unmistakable. "Tsubomi-chan, what are you doing here?" Yaya questioned the youngest Spican as she joined her in front of the door, pushing her aside to also try and get a glimpse of the action. "Oh..." was her reply as she stood upright again and grinned like the Cheshire cat, then cast a pointed look at her pink-haired friend. "I didn't know you were into voyeurism. How kinky..." Tsubomi's face turned an even darker shade of red as she glared at the object of her affection.

The E'toille couple, still struck by confusion, stepped closer to join the investigation, though they didn't need the key hole to enlighten them, as soon a throaty moan could be heard from the other side of the door. "That was Tamao-chan." Hikari exclaimed wide-eyed, leaving Amane to frown down at her and reply, "I'm not even going to ask how you would know that." At Hikari's indignant expression, Yaya quickly jumped to her defense. "It's voice training from choir practice. We're taught to recognise people's vocal qualities." Tsubomi's glare directed at Yaya turned quizzical, causing the dark-haired girl to swiftly cover the young Spican's mouth with her hand to stop any interjection.

"Is it just me, or is this a very awkward situation?" Amane more pointed out than really asking. "Especially considering that Nagisa-chan is still dating Shizuma-sama." Tsubomi added and crossed her arms tightly across her chest, clearly not approving of the activities going on inside the room. "Maybe they broke up and Tamao-chan is trying to mend Nagisa-chan's broken heart?" Hikari added her two cents, leaving Yaya to top off the round of comments gleefully with: "Using her tongue? That shit must be better than glue!" The raven-haired Spican earned six disapproving eyes staring at her in disbelief for a few quiet seconds, though the silence was soon broken by a particularly poignant cry of pleasure cascading down the walls. "See?!" Yaya giggled as she pointed to the door, eliciting a smack to her shoulder from a disbelieving Tsubomi.

The lightly violent moved was ill-timed, as Yaya soon made a point of directing her dirty mind at her younger peer. "Hey now, I wasn't the one caught enjoying the show like a peeping Tom. Tsubomi-chan just pretends to be all sweet and innocent." She stepped closer to the blushing girl and extended one finger to glide along Tsubomi's jaw before resting beneath her chin and tilting her face upwards slightly. "Maybe you learned something that you could teach me later?" She effectively rendered the younger girl speechless, leaving Amane to come to her rescue after she herself dared a peek through the keyhole. "You really can't see much other than a bit of naked flesh and laboured movement." However, she failed to suppress a sly grin similar to the one Yaya had sported, leaving Hikari to raise one questioning brow at her partner.

A sudden movement of dim light at the far end of the corridor soon captured the foursome's attention and caused them to grow stiff at the prospect of being cornered by old Hamasaka. No further encouragement was needed for Yaya to grab Tsubomi by the hand and bolt with her in the opposite direction of the approaching lantern, figuring that the E'toille couple was more than capable of dealing with the disciplinarian. A faint squeak of protest could be heard escaping Tsubomi's lips before they rounded a dark corner to safety.

"E'toille-sama? What's wrong? Is Tamao-chan okay?" The Spican couple turned their confused eyes from the space left by their peers around to stare in even more confusion at the dimly lit couple of Nagisa and Shizuma now standing in front of them. The silence clearly dragged out too long for the little red-head's patience to bear, as she soon moved to reach for the door handle. "Wait!" Was all the two Spican's had time to utter in unison before another lengthy, near animalistic groan forced its way through the door.

"Oh..." Nagisa chirped in surprise, turning her wide eyes back to her girlfriend. Shizuma simply rolled her eyes and grinned deviously, then casually stepped over to the door, turned the knob and swung it wide open. A furious flurry of movement could be traced as it crashed past chairs and desks and landed in a heap of naked skin and heaving sheets in the middle of the bedroom floor. First one blue-haired flushed face emerged from one end, then another flushed and scowling blue-haired face poked out the other end, leaving three out of the four girls by the door stunned into silence. The fourth one simply gave a muted applause and uttered a mirthful "Busted" at the pair.
