For Karen. AGAIN.
Shinji & Jirou
excitement date balloons
"Akutagawa-san, this isn't really a fun date if you're just going to sleep through it, though I don't know how you can sleep because I couldn't sleep last night because I was thinking about today, even though today isn't really turning out like I thought it would, but that's okay because things normally don't work out like that and I guess I should be used to it by now, but this is sort of nice anyway..." Shinji shifted on the train's bench again, scowling at the head of golden curls currently tucked in his lap. The original plan had been to go to the circus and see all of the animals; a prospect that had had Jirou bouncing in excitement when they'd first thought of the idea.
But now Shinji wasn't so sure they'd ever get there, Jirou kept falling asleep and now Shinji's leg was too, probably from the lack of blood flowing through it as one Hyoutei senior had clamped his arms firmly around it and snuggled like it was a stuffed animal or something.
But Jirou was Jirou, he'd wake up when something that could keep his attention for more than five minutes happened. And so Shinji let it be, gaze wandering out the window of the bullet train to watch the various colours, shapes and sizes of a group of hot air balloons float over the rural area.
