[ they can hold hands. this is a stupid spot to do it, though maybe the water makes him a little bolder anyway? ]
...It's okay.
[ even if this is a hell of a place to start a new kind of relationship, with a long and awkward adjustment period, he's grateful. it's nice. he runs his thumbs tentatively over rin's hands. ]
It's not—I'm not happy with what happened. But... [ I wasn't sure if someone would go after you. he's grateful that no one did. ]
[ He's not glad that Artemy or Jacopo were targeted, but he'd been worried someone would pick Haru. Someone who might've known his history in the Reaper's Game, and decided that it's good time.
He holds on tight to his hands. ]
I kind of hoped we'd be alone last night too.
[ Like. Maybe the girls would see they're heading into the showers and walk the opposite direction. ]
[ listen, the dead make him really sad and of course haru would've been an incredibly reasonable target, but this is so funny. the girls really just followed them into the showers. ]

That's your team...?
[ Apparently they'll follow you anywhere. ]

We're like a pack of lemmings...
[ Said with fondness. He likes his team a lot.
But anyway. Looking away... mildly embarrassed. ]
If one of us was targeted because of last week, then I wanted a night for the two of us. [ ... ] We don't get that much time alone.
no subject
but time alone with rin where they're not working out, dealing with murder, or dealing with grief is rare. ]
You wanted a date in the shower room?
[ teasing. then, also kind of glancing at nothing, ]
...We should've spent more time together a different day. I don't want a night where we're just scared.
no subject
[ Rin rarely tries to be macho, but if he's going to be stupid, it'll be with Haru. ]
I didn't say it was a date... But if the time is going to come anyway, then it'd be nice to spend it with you.
no subject
anyway he's pretty moved by this, gripping rin's hands still until he feels emboldened enough to do something indescribable.
by which i mean he kisses his cheek. ]
—Spend time with me now then.
