[puddingemote]

[Tamaki jumps when he's suddenly accosted the moment he enters the trailer, staring at Yuya with his hands up.]

What!? What!?

[hippocarnival]

Did you know what else the sock meant?!

[This is a lot of assumed context.]

[puddingemote]

The sock...?

[Tamaki stares at him blankly for a moment, before remembering what he told Yuya before.]

You mean the sock for the door...?

[hippocarnival]

Yes. [He crosses his arms, his tone dropping to something sullen.] That's not what I meant when I said I wanted privacy.

[puddingemote]

Not for jerking off or something? [Tamaki scratches his nose, apparently unconcerned about the topic of his conversation.] Then what?

[hippocarnival]

[JESUS CHRIST TAMAKI.] NO?!

[Yuya huffs and puffs and--frankly doesn't calm down but he does lower the volume a bit.] I meant something like a private conversation! Personal stuff, not that!

[He's just embarrassed because he had to have his best friend explain it to him.]

[puddingemote]

[Tamaki holds his hands up again, if it will get Yuya to stop yelling so loud! But then he does quiet a bit, and Tamaki lowers them again.]

You're so fussy, Yuu-chan... ah, but fine. If you don't like the sock, just put a sign out or something.

[He misses having his own room...]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya grumbles. He's also starting to miss having his own room.] I'm not fussy. And I made a sign now. [He points to the hazard 'Keep Out' sign that's slumped on the bookshelf. It's very teenager.]

[puddingemote]

[Theirs will be the most teenager trailer in the lot.]

Fussy. [Tamaki asserts it again, rolling his eyes. Most of the other guys he lived with didn't mind him coming in whenever, or keeping snacks, or making a mess, mostly because they all did the same.]

Why are you so mad? Did someone think you were having sex?

[hippocarnival]

I don't want them to. [Especially people like Yuzu, because if even Gongenzaka knew what it meant, what kind of nonsense would that have turned into.] I don't think that's the kind of thing you announce with a sock anyway.

[He's a celebrity child, but he still has a sense of privacy.]

[puddingemote]

The guys in Portland seemed pretty happy to...

[Because they wanted everyone to know exactly what they were up to, which Yuya clearly does not.]

[hippocarnival]

[Does he look like the guys from Portland, Tamaki.] Well, I'm not doing that anyway.

[At least he's diffusing.]

[puddingemote]

I didn't think so...

[No offense meant to Yuya. Tamaki walks around him and starts rummaging around for something to snack on.]

Should I put the sign up for you, too?

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya turns around as Tamaki walks right on by.] Of course! I don't want to walk in on anything you don't want me to see.

[Or that Yuya doesn't want to see, in all honesty.

All this commotion finally draws Koemi out of the bathroom. There's a splash, and then she plods wetly over the floor]

[puddingemote]

[He jumps at the splash, nearly dropping the bag of nuts he had just pulled out of a drawer. He's half expecting Strange to have fallen from their mirror and into the sink or something, but then he sees a little otter.]

Oh. That surprised me.

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya raises a brow as Tamaki startles.] It's just my daemon. You have one too, right?

[He's yet to see anyone who doesn't have one, but then he also hasn't been far out of the carnival today.]

I heard yelling.

[puddingemote]

Eh... yeah. She's around somewhere.

[He scratches his face without any real concern at the fact she's not in his immediate vicinity. She is her own half of his soul.]

I wasn't yelling.

[hippocarnival]

I know. [She can definitely tell who the ornery one was.]

Uh, shouldn't you go find her? That's your soul.

[puddingemote]

[He nods to Koemi since she clearly understands this.]

She'll be back soon. Probably.

[hippocarnival]

[Both Koemi and Yuya pause and look unsettled at that. The idea of not knowing where the other one was... they can't even separate that much to begin with.]

You're not worried? If something happens to her it happens to you too!

[puddingemote]

[. . .

Tamaki's eyes go wide and his jaw drops.]

Eh!? Really!?

[He didn't know that was a thing. Niko has been able to wander off from him since she first appeared, and he hasn't worried about it too much.]

She... probably won't do anything too bad... [Probably.]
