kat8chaIt wasn't every day that Kadota was called by a frantic Yumasaki and pleaded with to come over to the rathole apartment that he shared with Karisawa. Since it wasn't every day that this happened he called off work early and then hopped on the subway for a bit. Togusa's van was parked in front of the apartment complex and after Kadota climbed the only flight of stairs up to the second floor he spotted Togusa leaning against the wall next to Yumasaki and Karisawa's open apartment door. Togusa was dangling a bottle of a half drunken fruit smoothie between his fingers, a sure sign he was upset.
"Are they-" Togusa nodded and waved at the open door.
Kadota stepped gingerly into the darkened apartment. Through the thin walls he could hear a cheerful television program going on in the apartment to the left and what sounded like a spirited bout of sex in the apartment to the right. Yumasaki and Karisawa's apartment was eerily quiet.
"Yumasaki?" Kadota called out into the gloom.
A blond head and pale blue hoodie appeared from within the bedroom and then the young man quickly scurried out. Yumasaki grabbed the front of Kadota's jacket and bunched the army green fabric in his hands. "She's gone mad, Kadota-san, mad! She's… she's going to give up BL!"
Kadota gripped Yumasaki's hands and carefully pried his fingers one by one out of his jacket. "She's not giving up BL."
"But she is!" Yumasaki's grip tightened, ruining the work Kadota had just done. "She's piling up all her doujinshi in a box to GIVE AWAY! A-and she deleted a bunch of pictures off her hard drive! Kadota-san! She means it this time!" Yumasaki had gathered enough fabric that he had half of Kadota's jacket bunched in his grip by now, so Kadota unzipped the jacket and slipped out of it instead of attempting to pry Yumasaki off. Yumasaki hugged the fabric to his chest and looked pathetically ready to burst into tears.
As much as Karisawa's tendency to fantasize might have irritated them all once or twice, and as much as they may have once or twice wished she was a little less fanatical about her love of BL… Karisawa's love of BL was a part of her that it was really, really hard to imagine her without. It just wouldn't be Karisawa. At least that was probably what had Yumasaki so worried.
"Karisawa?" Kadota rapped twice on the door before stepping inside. The only female member of their troupe was shifting through a bunch of doujinshi and setting them in a box labeled 'FREE'.
…well. Maybe Yumasaki hadn't been exaggerating. "Is something wrong?"
Karisawa sighed and looked up at Kadota with big, sad puppy eyes. Kadota sternly told himself not to twitch. There was one weakness Kadota had… well, alright, he had a number of weaknesses. One big weakness was his dislike of women in distress. It triggered the big brother/white knight instincts inside of him. Puppy eyes also hit that button and Karisawa often added in a lip wibble when she really wanted him to do something for her. Right now though the puppy eyes looked sad, which meant that Karisawa probably was actually upset about something.
"Oh. Dotachin…" Karisawa sighed. "I guess you're here to talk me out of it, right?" She sighed and set another handful of books in the FREE box. "It won't work."
"…alright." Kadota nodded slightly and stepped further into the room. Now that he looked around he noticed that Karisawa had also rolled up several of her the anime posters she had taped to the walls. Only the ones that had been yaoi or shonen-ai however. "Why not?"
"Because!" Karisawa dropped a bunch of books FORCEFULLY into the box and Kadota winced. Doujinshi often had sub-par binding because they were self published. That might have damaged the books! "You don't know what it's like, Dotachin! You don't know the constant pressure to produce, produce, produce!" She picked up another handful of doujinshi and didn't bother looking at them before she dropped them into the FREE box. "It's not like hetero! It's not like it's everywhere! I need to look for it! I have to try really hard day in and day out to satisfy my urges… and then I need to tell the WORLD! And lots of people don't appreciate what I do!"
Karisawa looked up at Kadota with sad puppy eyes and… yup, there went the bottom lip. "Dotachiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin, I'm tired."
"…right." Kadota walked backwards out of the bedroom and into the living room where Yumasaki stood sniffling into Kadota's jacket. He was going to need to get that cleaned this week. "Yumasaki." Yumasaki didn't look up. "Yumasaki!"
The blond blinked bleary teary eyes at Kadota.
"…tell Togusa we're going to Ni-chōme, and find your chapstick."
"Are they-" Togusa nodded and waved at the open door.
