[But Gai just makes a slight sound at being shoved and doesn't awaken just yet-- a far cry from the way he normally is back at home, where he usually snaps awake in a second if something so much as touches him. For some reason, though, this time he just shifts and then settles back down, still fast asleep.]
[You're the one who fell asleep on him, Shu. Don't blame him for this.
Shu may think he's about to make a clean getaway, but he won't get far before a voice that manages to be both stern and amused at once speaks up from behind him.]
[For a second Gai actually has to struggle to keep a straight face (a rare occurrence!). SHU HE KNOWS YOU'RE SOCIALLY AWKWARD BUT YOUR WORDING, MAN. It's already been made worse; there's no turning back now.]
Oh?
[If he makes Shu flail, he can hide the fact that he's just as embarrassed about this.]
[Gai stands up from the bed, tossing his hair in an attempt to detangle it at least somewhat.]
If you're that determined to leave the hospital, get yourself checked by a doctor first. I don't want you falling over halfway home because you aren't actually well enough to leave.

Now to slip away from this disaster.
He doesn't even want to ask how he ended up sleeping there of all places.]
action
Shu may think he's about to make a clean getaway, but he won't get far before a voice that manages to be both stern and amused at once speaks up from behind him.]
Where do you think you're going?
action
Huh?
What do you mean?
Hey.
Wait.
Weren't you asleep? I mean--
No. I didn't mean that. At night.
I didn't sleep on you all nigh---[HE CAN'T SAY IT.]
I don't know what I'm saying anymore.
Um.
[Awkward.]
action
That's right, you slept on me all night. You must have been comfortable to not even move like that.
action
[Denying it.]
You're all big and hard and maybe it was a little nice to rest---
[No stop.
Stop Shu. Being honest is bad. Bad.
Okay shutting up now. Before he makes it worse.

action
Oh?
[If he makes Shu flail, he can hide the fact that he's just as embarrassed about this.]
action
Whatever you do don't tell Inori!
action
action
Okay maybe he should
take his hands off
it doesn't seem
necessary.]
action
I'm not going to say anything to her because there's nothing worth saying.
[Got it, Shu?]
action
That's good.
[No he feels bad again because he had to remind himself that Gai died.]
action

[Oh the irony...]
action HOW DO I TIMELINE
[Staree. Give him a moment to process that.]
I don't mind. Wait.
[Did they see him sleeping with Gai?
Oh no.
He hopes not.
Shu's embarrassment is easily written on his face. Even if he didn't say anything.]
action WE JUST DON'T KNOW
There's no need to worry-- they already know I'm here.
1/ 2 action Bending time aw yes
I'm not worrying about anything--
[Lies.]
2/2
[For shame.
Now he's losing it.]
I'm thinking that maybe Inori would like an orange penguin or something.
[Nope. Totally random. His cover is blown.]
Something... Something about furbko's and garbage cans.
No I'm not talking about garbage cans.
[Then he just rambles off into some incoherent tangent.]
action
Just get yourself cleared before you leave.
action
Okay.
[Groaning slightly. Being told what to do by Gai. Not sure if want.]
What are you going to do after?
[Please don't use more people.]
action
[And if you know what's good for you, you won't ask.]
action
What kind of things?
action
... and then just moving to leave.]
action
You didn't answer my question.
[Not that it was important. It deserved to be ignored.]
