Circus Time! [OPEN] (Safi, Hyde and Bocross)

— ...is that so? — He said, after a brief moment of stillness while keeping his glare fixed on Kei's face and lifting one eyebrow in the process. Now that was unexpected. Shunnosuke really didn't see that coming, and he didn't notice Hyde was acting weird. Coming to think of it, yes, Hyde behaved a bit out of what he knew as his usual self, but not for a moment it bothered Shun. Actually, he was pleased his classmate became a bit less...hyperactive, so to speak. So there was something going on behind that calm behavior of his, huh? Shun would try to find out about it later. — Oh, you don't need to clarify anything related to Sharaku to me, he already explained all there is to know. Actually, the moment I put my eyes on you I knew there wasn't a slight chance both of you would be...commited. — Shun ended up chuckling at the last word. That was indeed an absurd thought, but somehow it was sort of satisfying to hear the other side of it and confirm what he already knew. On the other hand, it wasn't so satisfying to listen his..."interest" in Sharaku is obvious to someone he never met until now.

— Since we're already suggesting things to each other, allow me to tell you not have this habit of approaching unknown people and advise how they should act. Careful with that or you'd end up having an enemy rather than a friend. — Shun would say as he and Kei walked back together. Despite his typical superiority smile, it wasn't hard to deduce that wouldn't sound like a caring advice at all, but a warning instead. What annoyed Shun the most was not the insinuation about him and Sharaku by itself, but being told what to do and how to act by someone he has no relationship with, it doesn't matter if it was a good-willed suggestion. Who does he think he is? If Shun didn't harbor any disapproval feelings towards Kei, that changed the moment this guy asked him to "loosen up his fake smile". Talk about being audacious.

— I guess you guys are done, and so are we. — He said, looking fixedly at Kei at this exact moment. — It was a pleasure meeting you, Kei. I'll probably see you at school...eventually. Or do you feel like going somewhere else?

— ...it's Kurosawa, Hyde. Kurosawa. Follow your friend's example, please? — He muttered, with an unconvincing smile, referencing Kei and rolling his eyes right after. That boy won't ever listen? They don't have that level of intimacy yet, how many times does Shun have to make himself clear about it? Well, even after having an implicit clash with Kei, whom he still wasn't comfortable with, Shunnosuke should recognize his acquaintance's friend was more polite than his acquaintance. That's how the world works, and as his grandmother says: "give money to people, but never give intimacy". Oh well, at least he agreed with the number exchange. After all, you never know when you'll need to contact someone . — Yes, you can have my number. And I shall have yours as well, just in case next time I won't be left waiting. — He said, registering their numbers in his mobile phone (and paying a special attention to Sharaku's number, of course). "Next time"... He wasn't still too easy around those boys (with Sharaku being the obviously only exception), but he could deny the day had his fun, and the Biggest Top spectacles were really something to be amazed by.

— I'll probably call a taxi to go back home. No way I'd walk at nightfall alone, but you're free to go if you want. After all... — he said, already dialing a phone while staring at the Hyde's face with a narrowed (and disgusted) glance. — ...one of us need to clean himself.

"Kuro-chan"...? Shunnosuke facepalmed immediately. Hyde is such a lost cause, won't he ever learn? After he waved to the boys, he'd turn to Sharaku, taking this as the perfect opportunity to perhaps get to know him better and ask what business he had with Hyde, but...Sharaku was also leaving.

— ...oh...okay then... — He muttered, waving a bit disappointed to Sharakua s well. The day didn't turn out as he expected the moment the student first saw him, but...at least he had some fun. And Sharaku didn't seem to remember their first and shameful meeting, so it's all profit. The taxi cab he called by phone didn't take long to arrive, luckily but before entering, Shun glanced at the direction Sharaku went. Coming to think he had his phone number now made him smile a bit to himself with the meeting opportunities that'd bring and, who'd have thought, thanks to Hyde for bringing the matter up. Maybe his classmate wasn't so bad do be around, after all...
