Shipping arrives this morning, and BBs spend 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.

[May 5, Saturday - week 1]

Since shipping arrived, Seiya and the rest of the BBs spent the day storing their new clothes in the closet. Nighttime has fallen, and Seiya lies in bed wearing his loungewear of a red t-shirt and blue shorts. He's surrounded by adult magazines picked from the second-floor cabinet.

"What a day! Putting those away took a long time," Seiya says.

He sits up and skims a random magazine.

"Reading these myself is boring, but I can't convince the guys to join me. Well, except for him. But the guy's a Christian! Will he even bother?" Seiya sighs. "Oh well, might as well ask."

He knocks on Hyoga's room. The latter opens the door and sees his friend with a magazine.

"Hi! I was wondering if you could join me to look at some of the magazines I picked up. Of course, there are lots of things to look at, not just pullouts. But that's only if you want to." Seiya fidgets nervously.

"Can I see that?" Hyoga asks, pointing at the magazine.

"Uh, sure." He hands over the magazine with hesitation.

"You're looking at them in your room, right?"

"Yeah…?" Seiya stares, confused.

"Listen, I'll be there."

"Okay?" Seiya nods though still confused.

He closes the door, and Seiya meekly returns to his room.

"Oh great! He's gonna come in and lecture the crap out of me."

KNOCK, KNOCK!

Seiya takes a deep breath. "I'm gonna brace myself."

He opens the door and sees Hyoga with the magazine in hand. The latter also wears loungewear of a blue t-shirt and gray sweatpants. Seiya can't help but stare, still confused.

"Do you have more?" Hyoga asks.

"Uh, what?"

"I ask if there's more."

"Uh, maybe?"

"Can I come in?"

"Sure!"

Hyoga sits on the chair from Seiya's study desk while Seiya sits on his bed.

"This is the same room," Hyoga says, observing.

"Yeah, Saori-san arranged it just for me."

"So you do have more." Hyoga points out.

"Yeah. You need something?

"Not really. I just want to look too."

"For reals? I didn't expect you to be that kind of person."

"How come?"

"Because of your background."

"Oh, I get it. I'll let you know this is not my first exposure."

"You already know? Your master told you?"

"No one! I've known it all by myself."

"Wow!" Seiya exclaims, surprised. "How?"

Seiya braces to eagerly hear his story.

"One night, I returned late from training. There was this house. The inside was dark, and the fireplace was the only thing lighting from the inside. I peeked into it and assumed it was a family keeping themselves warm. And then I saw two figures moving around in the dark. It was two masses joined together. Then with better lighting, I saw it. It was a couple getting intimate. Instead of freaking out and run, I stood there and watched while my face was red the entire time. But I got called out, and that's it."

"Wow! I can't believe this. Does anyone else know?"

"I never told anyone because, well, it was irrelevant."

"When did that happen?" Seiya asks.

"I don't remember the age. I was a kid. They were doing something that a man and a woman can do."

"Something that a man and a woman can do. They were having fun!"

"That's one way to put it," Hyoga says.

"What? There's something else? No way!"

"Where do you think babies come from?"

"Babies come from the sky. My sister told me that. She said so when I asked!"

"Come on, Seiya. You should know better."

"Are you serious? Babies come from THAT?! I can't believe this!"

"I've been looking into it since. Of course, hidden. But I managed to learn as much with whatever I had."

"So if you say you know, does this mean you've done it?"

"Uh, if I did, I wouldn't be here."

"That makes sense. The duty of a Saint is to protect Athena," Seiya says with arms crossed.

"Yeah, we're guys too. We're not the exception. These magazines are proof."

"Well, I had my few moments here and there. But Marin caught me more than once and 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." Seiya points to an article. "You gotta read Super City Hunter. It's manga. It's there!"

Hyoga receives the open magazine and looks at the manga.

"I see. It's pages of drawings, but they're all explicit."

"Yeah, they are. The basic plot is that people hire the main character to solve stuff. He beds a ton of women, and women get naked in every chapter. Not joking, man. This is real."

"I'm seeing one right now. She's totally exposed."

"Of course! There are a lot of exhibitionists. Everyone's exposed, including the main character."

"Yeah, there's a lot of violence too. Some of these are familiar."

"Are you saying the violence is the same as we went through?" Seiya quickly flips some random pages. "Oh my gosh! You're right. Some of them are familiar with the stuff we went through."

After flipping pages, they set the magazines aside to continue chatting.

"When you said about having few moments, what do you mean?" Hyoga asks.

"Look, I don't remember because I was so focused on training. But there was this one time I tried to sneak where the girls were bathing. And Marin caught me!"

"I always thought you were funny, but I didn't expect you to be a perv."

"Hey! You just said we're guys," Seiya says, upset and huffing.

"Yes, but there are limits, and even that didn't pay off because your master caught you."

Seiya sighs. "Okay, what else? Oh, there was this other time with the soldiers…"

"You mean the soldiers of Sanctuary?"

"No, no! It's too explicit! I don't want to talk about it. But Marin caught me too."

"You had bad luck."

"I couldn't stand her double training."

"Hey! You're still here."

"Right?" Seiya chuckles and grins. "Hey, let's continue this! I didn't realize we're so much alike. How come we never got moments like this? We should've gotten some!"

"Such as alone moments?"

"Yes, alone…" Seiya blushes. "Ack! You're making me red."

"I could use some comic relief."

"Hey!" Seiya huffs. "I'm not comic relief. Maybe I am."

The pair enthusiastically laugh.

"I like looking at these too, but never in my room," Hyoga says.

"This is the perfect spot! It's familiar and all. You're welcome here."

"We can meet every weekend. Same time, same day?"

"Yeah, as long as we look at these."

"And then some…"

"Ooh, like talking about sex, right?"

"That's the whole point!"

"I can finally make those jokes I've always wanted to do!

"People call it locker room talk."

"It's a boys-only club!"

"Okay, we're both in it then."

"Of course, man!" Seiya shakes his fists. "Yes!"
