There are some people with no concept of an "indoor voice"

[hyperhero]

[To say Campus was the worst place ever to Judai would be an understatement. The no-classes thing? That was fantastic! He barely paid attention in class as it was, so not having to go at all felt like the best thing ever at first.

And then he realized the problem. It wasn't just the classes that weren't around.

Nothing ever happened here.

There wasn't any kind of organized events or fun dormmates to talk to or even a speech he could doze off during. Classes had been dull, but at least they had been something. This... utter nothing at all was boring. What kind of school didn't have a specialized dueling area, anyway?! This place sucked!

If there was one thing Judai couldn't really stand, it was being bored.]

GAAAAAAH!

[Which is why he's taking his frustrations out by yelling in the middle of the hallway.]

Doesn't anyone around here actually duel?! Or even play games?!

Will do!

[By... going over and flumping on his stomach on the couch, leaning over the armrest and grinning over at Ryou.]

It's pretty weird living in a dorm by myself now. I'm too used to Shou and Hayato being around! But at least it means I get my own room for a while.

[fluffydeathdealer]

I'm more used to living alone - or as alone as I can be, with the other me - but I'm getting used to sharing with Malik-kun now. I've always lived alone for a long time, so.

[Checking the food supplies... yes! He has what he needs. He gets straight to work on the food! It seems he's quite serious about feeling Judai.]

[hyperhero]

You lived alone a lot?

[Judai shifts a little, still looking in Ryou's general direction.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Un. My father is away a lot, and I don't have any other family any more, so... I was alone for a really long time.

[hyperhero]

[Judai rests his chin on his arms, thinking.]

Yeah, I know that feeling. I never learned how to cook, though. Maybe I should have.

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Judai-kun...

Leaving the food to cook, he goes over and sits on the edge of the couch beside him, as best he can. His voice is softly motherly.]

Now, now... It can't be helped, right? I'll teach you to cook if you want, but I'l still cook for you anytime, okay?

[hyperhero]

[He didn't really get upset or anything, it was more an observation. But he sits up, grinning even more widely at that.]

That'd be great! Both of them, I guess. Though I'll probably stick with you cooking!

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Even so, Ryou feels sorry for him. He grins broadly at the happy response.]

That's fine! But you should still learn, you know? That way if anything happens to me, you'll be able to eat healthily sometimes.

[hyperhero]

Eh? What makes you think something's going to happen to you?

[fluffydeathdealer]

...stuff happens to me a lot.

[He awkwardly shows off the scars on his hands from Ra.]

[hyperhero]

[...Eeesh. Those look bad. Judai eyes them for a minute, then just shakes his head and looks surprisingly intensely at Ryou.]

Well, don't worry about it! If that starts happening again, just come get me and I'll help you out! That way, there's no way something that bad could happen!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Eh?! But, if that happens then you might get hurt too! So I can't involve you in things like that!

[That intense look... It's so determined. Even a little fierce-looking.]

[hyperhero]

Don't worry about it! I'll be fine! I get out of stuff like that all the time, no problem!

[fluffydeathdealer]

But I'm used to pain! So I shouldn't involve you... B... because... I shouldn't burden anyone with it.

[hyperhero]

Who said anything about being a burden? Friends help each other out, make sure each other are okay! That's all there is to it; there's no "burden" or anything in it!
