"Something wrong, Senpai?"
Spirit jolted slightly at the question, standing around awkwardly in the other man's living room. He was chewing the inside of his lip, looking around the room and ignoring the almost sadistic glint to Stein's gaze.
"Senpai?" Stein prodded, again.
Spirit sighed. There was no delicate way to put it.
"Look, uh…I need to sit down."
Stein blinked, sparing a glance at the two purple monstrosities that Marie'd dragged into his home what felt like ages ago, when she first started calling it home, too.
"Yeah, about that," Spirit started, noticing the movement, "I'd rather sit down somewhere the two of you haven't had sex."
"Hm," Stein remarked, taking a second to glance around. He was incredibly tempted just to direct Spirit to whichever surface was closest, but his comment certainly brought up a point. Quickly, the scientist surveyed the room, moving his sight to a different area whenever it didn't pass Spirit's conditions. Spirit, for his part, made a face when the other man looked over at his window and then passed it by.
"Really, Stein? People can see you from there."
"I'm thinking, Senpai."
Spirit rolled his eyes and moved to lean against one of the filing cabinets under the assumption that, well, he couldn't exactly sit on the thing, and it wasn't very comfortable anyway, but Stein only looked at him and then away.
Spirit got the hint pretty fast and went upright immediately.
"Maybe we could move to the kitchen?" Spirit suggested, clearly wondering when last the lab was sterilized, though there was plenty of pride on his face.
Stein blinked and turned his head so he could better peer at the doorway that led to what Marie had designated as the kitchen, after she informed him that, for Death's sake, she would not be cooking for them utilizing nothing but a Bunsen burner. He didn't know why she was so picky about it all, but proper meals were nice, so he didn't really complain.
When he looked up, thinking, Spirit coughed into his fist.
"You know what? It's okay…I can stand."
"That would be for the best," Stein conceded, ruling out the stove.
And the sink.
