Shipping arrived the next morning, and BB spent the day fixing their closet to hang new clothes. Seiya knocks on Hyoga's room at night to show him one of the porn magazines from the second-floor lounge. Hyoga shows up in Seiya's room, and they have an honest sex talk. Both get they're very much alike and decide to continue every week.
The weather for today is sunny.
This week begins the May chapter.
Since shipping arrived, Seiya and the rest of the BBs spent the day putting their new clothes in the closet. Nighttime has fallen, and Seiya lies in bed wearing loungewear. He's surrounded by adult magazines he picked from the cabinet.
Seiya – What a day! Putting those away took a long time.
He sits up and skims a random magazine.
Seiya – Reading these myself is boring, but I failed to convince the guys to join me. Well, except for him. But the guy's a Christian, dammit! Will he even bother? (sighs) Oh well, might as ask.
Seiya knocks on Hyoga's room. Hyoga opens it and sees his friend with the magazine in hand. He sports new loungewear too.
Seiya – Hi! (fidgets) I was wondering if you could join me to look at some of the magazines I picked up. Of course, there are not just pull-outs. There are articles and manga. But that's only if you want to. You don't have to force yourself.
Hyoga – Can I see that?
Seiya – Sure. (gives magazine)
Hyoga – You're looking at them in your room, right?
Seiya (stares) Yeah...
Hyoga – Listen, I'll be there.
Seiya (confused) Okay?
Hyoga closes the door before a confused Seiya meekly returns to his room.
Seiya – Oh great! He's gonna come to my room and lecture the shit out of me.
KNOCK, KNOCK!
Seiya (takes a deep breath) I'm gonna brace myself.
Seiya opens the door and sees Hyoga with the magazine.
Hyoga – Do you have more?
Seiya – Uh, wait, what?
Hyoga – I asked if you have more.
Seiya – Maybe?
Hyoga – Can I come in?
Seiya – Okay.
Hyoga sits on the chair while Seiya sits on his bed.
Hyoga (looks around) This is the same room.
Seiya - Yeah, Saori-san arranged it just for me.
Hyoga (points at magazines) So you have more.
Seiya – Yes, I do. Do you need something in particular?
Hyoga – Not really. I just want to look at the magazines too.
Seiya – Really? I didn't expect you to be that kind of person.
Hyoga – Why is that?
Seiya (sighs) Because of your background.
Hyoga – I see. I'll let you know this is not my first exposure.
Seiya – You already know? Your master told you?
Hyoga – No one did. No one. I've learned it all by myself.
Seiya (surprised) How?
Seiya didn't see that one coming. He braces to hear eagerly.
Hyoga – One day, I returned late from training. And there was this house. The inside was dark, and the fireplace was the only illumination. I peeked into it and assumed it was a family keeping themselves warm. Turns out a couple was getting intimate. I could have freaked out. But instead, I stood there. The couple never noticed, thankfully. I watched even though my face was red. Then I got called out. I never saw the end of it, of course.
Seiya – Wow, that was unexpected. Does anyone else know?
Hyoga – I never told anyone because, well, it was irrelevant.
Seiya – When did that happen?
Hyoga – I was a little kid, so I don't remember the exact age. They were doing something that only a man and a woman can do.
Seiya – Only a man and a woman can do? They were having fun!
Hyoga – That's one way to put it.
Seiya – There's something else? Nah, that's not true!
Hyoga – Where do you think babies come from?
Seiya – Wait? Babies come from THAT?! But my sister told me babies come from the stars... She said so when I asked! I can't believe this!
Hyoga – I've been looking into it since then. Of course, hidden away. But I managed to learn as much as possible with whatever I had.
Seiya – Hey! If you say you know, does this mean you've done it?
Hyoga – If I did, I wouldn't be here.
Seiya (arms crossed) That makes sense. The duty of a Saint is to protect Athena.
Hyoga – Yes, but we're also guys. We're not the exception. These magazines are proof of that.
Seiya – Well, I had a few moments here and there. But Marin caught me more than once, and she made me train twice as much so I could "get the gutter out of my head." The joke's on her because I'm looking at these magazines. (points) You gotta read "Super City Hunter." It's manga. It's in there.
Hyoga – I see. It's pages of drawings, but they're all explicit.
Seiya - Yeah, they are. The basic plot is that people hire the main character to solve cases. He beds a ton of women, and women get naked in every chapter.
Hyoga – I'm seeing one right now. She's totally exposed.
Seiya – Definitely! There are a lot of exhibitionist women. Private parts are visible, including the MC.
Hyoga – There's a lot of violence too. Some of these are deja vu.
Seiya – Are you saying the violence is the same as we went through? (quickly flips pages) Hey! You're right. Some of them are familiar with our experiences.
Hyoga – When you said about having "few moments," what do you mean?
Seiya – I don't remember because I was so focused on training. But this one time, I tried to sneak where the girls were bathing. And then Marin caught me! What else? (ponders) There was another one with the soldiers...
Hyoga – You mean the soldiers of Sanctuary?
Seiya – Argh! It's too explicit! I don't want to talk about it. But Marin caught me too. She saw me in the worst possible moment.
Hyoga (snickers) Talk about unlucky.
Seiya – I couldn't stand her double training.
Hyoga – But you're still here.
Seiya – Right! (joyful) Hey, wanna continue this? I didn't realize we're pretty much alike. It's weird we didn't get any moments together.
Hyoga – Such as alone moments?
Seiya – Yes, alone (blush) Ack! You're making me red.
Hyoga – I could use some comic relief.
Seiya (huffs) Hey! I'm not comic relief (pause). Maybe I am.
They enthusiastically laugh.
Hyoga – I want to read these too, but never in my room.
Seiya – This spot is perfect! You're welcome here.
Hyoga – Can we do it every week? Same time, same day?
Seiya – Sure, as long as we look at those magazines.
Hyoga – And then some...
Seiya – Like talking about sex, right?
Hyoga – That's the whole point!
Seiya – Ooh! I can finally make those jokes I've always wanted to do!
Hyoga – I believe they call it "locker room talk."
Seiya – Okay, so we're both game then.
Hyoga (nods) Of course!
Seiya (claps once) Yes!
