kozue, tom

Who: Tom, Kozue, and Max
What: A walk
Where: Tom's dorm
When: After Kozue's Journal entry
Why: More gaijin discussion!

She had distinctly said he was nuts. It didn't seem like a fair description. Crazy people aren't capable of distinguishing their perspective from reality. Tom knew the differences, for the most part. He just didn't pay them much attention.

Either way, Kozue seemed to take issue with his more extreme stances, and Tom wanted to keep his friends. So when he prepared for her arrival, Tom tried to figure out how to look as normal as possible. He carefully combed his usually messy hair. He picked his outfit carefully. No suit, or school uniform. No knives hidden under his jacket. (They were hidden under his pants, strapped to his leg. But that was just for emergencies!) And then he sat on his bed, petting Max and waiting for his friend to show up.

"I understand, you had a different situation than I did, growing up," she said, and then, hearing herself say it, realized how totally insensitive that sounded. What, like his family hated him? Only, it really seemed like parts of his family did detest him, or at least couldn't care in the least little bit. She looked down and let out a slow breath.

"That wasn't what I meant. I just. It's okay, it's very sweet that you're concerned, but I have it covered. I'm a big girl."

Tom nodded, and met her gaze.

"I trust you Kondo-san. Not only to handle yourself, but to get out of a situation if you can't handle yourself. Or at least ask for help." He let out a breath and a look of contemplation crossed his face.

"Alright Kondo-san, I think we've had enough of a heart to heart talk right? We should continue our bonding by getting milkshakes." He gave her a soft smile, then tugged on Max's leash to go in the right direction.

"I found a small shop nearby, it only has a few employees, so I had enough time to investigate all of them. The background checks weren't thorough, but I'm confident that they don't work for any of our enemies. And you get to watch them make the shakes, so we'll know if they try to put anything in it."

	What started out as a smile grew into a full-fledged laugh as Tom explained exactly why he was willing to get a milkshake and how much effort he had gone through to…wow, Sagaki was crazy but far too adorable in his craziness sometimes. "That sounds great, senpai. And thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent)
