Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Go Back Into the Dorm...
Who: Tom and Toru
When: During Toru's sudden hikikomori-age
Where: Toru's dorm room
What: Our beloved Batman breaks into the otaku's fortress of solitude
Why: Because introspection is for weenies.

It had been a day, already. Toru couldn't possibly bring himself to return to class after the gravity of it all hit him. Even though by all rights confronting his Shadow should have done away with this habit, it was still so easy to just shut himself away when the pressure got too great. Plus, it meant that he didn't have to put any regulations on his own sleeping habits, which meant long all-nighters playing console games or chatting online and sleeping briefly in the morning. At the moment, he was curled up under a blanket in front of his TV, completely absorbed in some brightly-colored action-rpg. He didn't want to think anymore.

	Tom took a step closer. "Ito and Kondo weren't deluding themselves into thinking their relationship was based on anything more then sex! You're convinced that you and Arai have these.... feelings that are fiction! Love is just a ridiculous idea that you only see in stories! You don't actually feel that way!"

"Fiction?"

Toru slouched back, and stared. A moment later, he laughed. "Senpai... r-really? And I thought I was deluded." He raised his eyebrows a little, face losing the angry qualities of before. "Listen. I know more than a thing or two about stories. And I know a hell of a lot more about my own feelings. This isn't fake. And anyway, who are you, to tell me what I feel?"

Apparently, this was disarming enough to prompt Toru to lie down, no longer making eye contact with the other boy. "Senpai, you can go now. I think I can see where you're coming from."

Toru gave a dismissive wave. "And I'm not the guy breaking into other peoples' rooms. What's your point?"

But he still turned to face Tom. "It's like a weird warmth. W-when you see the person you love, it's... it's there inside you. It's a kind of reassurance, of unconditional happiness. You just know that everything is alright and nothing else matters nearly as much when you're with the person."

He stopped, and the words caught in his throat like coins with serrated edges. "A-and that's... that's how I feel about Kazuya-kun."

	Tom faultered. He took several steps backward, groping for the door knob. "I-I have to go..." He grabbed his doorknob and pulled the door open, then turned and left the room without a word. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Toru quietly watched Tom leave. "That was... weird," he mumbled, sitting up and gathering the blanket around himself again. He'd finish the section of the game he was in, then get some sleep. Tomorrow, Toru would go to class again. (Reply to this) (Parent)
