"A girl attempted to confess to you today, Niou-kun," Yagyuu said, combing fingers through his hair in an attempt to make it sit right in his own style. It was resisting, even after they'd washed the mess of hair-product out.

Niou, stretched out on his bed, glanced over at him with vague curiosity. "Yeah? Who?"

"I'm afraid I don't remember her name."

"Okay. I guess I'll find out. What didya tell her?"

Yagyuu gave him a perfectly bland look. "I told her I found her so unattractive I would prefer to have sex with my doubles partner."

"In those words, huh?"

"Not precisely. I swore rather more."

Niou shook his head, admiring. "Man. You're good. And a total git."

Yagyuu's smile was a little smug. "I aim to satisfy."

"And that," Niou told him, "is why you're awesome."

"Why Niou-kun, that sounded suspiciously like a compliment."

"Sure. Don't get used to it."
