High 'n Low [Shun] - Page 5 Tykidot-1

...and Sharaku just stared.

''?????????????''


The...what now? He was completely baffled by this point. Was that really it? Perhaps he needed a new kind of dictionary, because they obviously were not on the same page in this. Actually, this was very badly off. On the other hand, it made more sense now. Sense, in the meaning, that the two of them were looking at the whole issue through different kind of glass or something. Good to know. Just a little bit later than he'd have prefered.

First of all, the news were irrelevant, because he knew as much. He wasn't after a clear statement to please himself. The two of them were constantly on a rocky stand, and while hints and just all around behaviour of this kind were nice...wasn't it normal to ask when you want to date someone? Playing around with the idea is one thing, but with how things kept being stirred between them...it'd make damn sense to just say it, so it can be settled once and for all. So he got it, allright, but with how moods kept jumping, was he expected to just make a bet on it? Shun was the one to express a more clear interest in the first place. He was not aware what was the big problem with simply making it straight out clear then. When you're really serious about wanting a date, isn't the logical to attempt asking the other person out? And by that he meant actually asking, and not just faliling around and showing interest here and there. Because, for all intents and purposes, he just felt weird knowing that the younger wanted so, and yet did nothing to actually make a decisive motion in it all. Was he expected to be the one to ask directly for some reason? It wasn't like he was going to bite Shun's head off for saying it.

Second, okay, so he had said he was different. Fine. But where was this 'have to' coming from? He had never told the teen that he had to understand. Just because it'd be nice, it did not instantly mean it was an obligation. Was it his fault that Shun was trying too hard to be considerate? He had never outright asked for it. Besides, to him, it seemed that the teen was for some reason just highly insecure. He was not used to dealing with people like that. Nor had he expected that from the other, by seeing his normal behavior. He just didn't feel like spilling every little detail about himself. He had never been the one to be completely openhearted towards people. It wasn't that he aimed to be secretive...but, should he just tell all of his thoughts like that? If it wasn't really important, or relevant, why? There is this thing called privacy, no? There is a reason people don't have their thoughts displaying on their foreheads. Maybe he was a bit more reserved than some, but it usually didn't pose that big of a problem. Until now, that is.

And third, excuses? Did it really look that way? Crappy, eh? Perhaps because he had never meant them as excuses in the first place. Does it instantly classify as an excuse when you seem indecisive, or just say you're wary of something? Shun was holding onto his words a bit too hard. It seemed that the teen kept taking everything that could mean bad things, as bad straight away. But...really? It didn't have to be. And, to be wholeheartedly serious, why the heck would he even waste time making excuses anyway? He wasn't a drama lover at all. If he wanted out, then he would simply say so. Yeah right, he always interpreted everything the younger said in the worst way possible. That could be said the other way around as well. Ah well. They joy of misunderstanding....doubled, apparently.

''Happy? I don't know about that. But, I think I see the problem now, at least.'', he would say in a light tone, after composing himself. ''I've never pressured you to understand, you know? You have no reason to think you 'have to'. I've simply told you, so you'd know. However, I'll admit I had no idea you had a problem with me not explaining to this extent. It's not something I'm used to. I'm not really hesitating, as you put it. I just don't see a reason to put all my thoughts out in detail, if it's not completely relevant. If it's actually important, I'd tell you...but I don't like feeling like a see-through window. And I doubt you do either, seeing as you're only telling me this now. I assure you I am not blind. I can tell how you feel about me, but that's as far as it goes. Don't misunderstand me, but I just want to be sure before jumping into something this serious. As you've mentioned a while ago, we seem to argue a lot. That doesn't help making things clear at all. And if I am to be frank, I always thought that the logical line was asking the other person out directly, if you're serious about wanting a date. Just showing interest through your actions and all, but never actually trying to confirm it confused me on top of all the jumpiness we're already facing. Perhaps I am not clear enough, and I am sorry for that, but I've never had any intention of making you think I don't understand at all.''

He would shift in his seat, running a hand through his hair in slight agitation. Why did this have to be so difficult? He wasn't an expert in heart to heart conversations. ''...as for those 'crappy excuses', as you call them. Is that what it really looks like? Why? I don't know, but if I honestly wanted to back out, wouldn't it be logical to just state so? I am not one for emotional drama. What purpose would making up lame excuses serve for me?'', he would sigh softly. ''You know, I didn't even mean anything serious with that age comment. I don't blame you, but I think you're interpreting my words a bit more literally than I am trying to convey them. It's...just...shouldn't the main thing in a relationship be trust? Maybe I do sometimes misinterpret your words in a wrong way, but so do you. It's hard to make it work when the first thing that is assumed points toward the bad meaning. Just because something unclear is said...I don't think it has to mean it's blurred, because one does not want to state a bad opinion. We all see things from a different angle. You can't really exist without judging someone, even if unintentionally. Because you always think of something, before you get an explanation for what you're hearing or seeing. You can't avoid that. We all miss at times. That's why I wanted to hear why were you getting upset. I don't see into your head, just as you don't see into mine. It's as simple as that.'' He would give the teen a weak smile with that. That sure took a lot to put together. But he was tired of leaving arguments hanging in the air and all. That's...what makes one feel bad in the first place, no?

That said, he would look to the side briefly, before giving the younger a somewhat awkward look. He was going to hell for this. But, he wasn't really coldhearted, even while it may seem so at times. Taking a deep breath, he would lean forward, attempting to hug Shun, if the teen let him. ''Look, I like you just fine, allright? I'm just not good with my words when it comes down to this. Punch me for it, if you want, but that's my stand.''

And he listened. And listened. Quietly, his tears, as well as the sobbing and coughing, ceased when Sharaku begun talking and voicing his views on that matter. There were still a few things off worth commenting that made Shun's bother return. It isn't as if he expected Sharaku to take the first step, or didn't want to propose or something. He just didn't know how. If on the man's side he had his difficulties with dealing to certain matters, on Shunnosuke's side it wasn't any different. Call him immature, but he didn't know how to go to a grown-up man and say "do you wanna be mine?". As for the second part...Shunnosuke really wanted to scoff at those words. The quiet, somewhat crooked look on his face would give it away. Everything in that speech was so aimed to Sharaku himself he couldn't help but feel disgusted at what he considered to be so much hypocrisy. It would be rather funny how they've went through the same situation on opposite sides, if it weren't already tragical enough. Still, the blonde said nothing. He was getting emotionally and physically tired of arguing, in home, outside home, and explain his side once more and the valid points...no. Not again. Enough with that.

After cleaning his face abruptly and with no delicacy, Shunnosuke wanted to tell Sharaku to stay away and don't touch him. He wanted to push him and yell for him to leave his house for the last time. He didn't do any of these. When Sharaku held him in his arms, however, the teen remained just there...static, mute, telepathic, offering no resistance to his embrace. His defenses were invaded that simple. In the end, the teenager betrayed himself, voluntarily resting his forehead on Sharaku's chest without lifting his sight to his face...only to burst into more silent, not so loud tears again. He wasn't the type to cry in front of others, but lately he'd been having enough, it wasn't as if his emotional state could endure much longer.

There was one thing he liked, though he would never admit in this situation: the hug gesture. Perhaps the confession, but he didn't trust his words. If the older honestly liked him as he said, then why couldn't Shunnosuke feel it's true? He wanted to ask. But everytime he opened his mouth, all that would come out was...his cry. Sharaku wouldn't know but that was the first hug Shunnosuke received in years — not counting Hyde's, of course. And for this, in the end, he didn't mind if the young man stayed a little longer.

...No response? Hm, Sharaku probably shouldn't have expected something big, but still. For whatever reason, when it came to this kind of issue, Shun seemed to have even less initiative to speak out than him. Well, he tried, at least, if nothing else. If this situation wasn't as troubling, he would have found it funny. The teen was angsty with him being secretive, but when it came down to the serious matter, it was harder to drag out an opinion from the younger. He was bad at voicing things out, but at least he gave it a go when it was needed. And he was not entirely sure why was Shun prefering to keep quiet. Communication is supposed to be the best way to deal with disagreements, but it's hard when you only get silence in response...and maybe a look along with that. Well, what could he do?

''Hmm.''
Hugging was sort of awkward. Maybe it was because he hasn't done that since..ever? He didn't even know. Whatever. Though, if this kept on for much longer, he was going to get his clothes wet. ''I almost feel like I said something stupid again. Ah well.'' His voice was low, and gruff, though fairly lighthearted. He wasn't really intending to start a fight again, that much was obvious. ''Are you okay...?'', he'd ask, his tone soft, as he rubbed the younger's back absentmindedly. He was still not decided on what to think about this half talk, but that didn't mean he didn't care at all. It just wasn't his strong point. He wasn't about to force the teen to talk, and he had a feeling that if he tried, he'd just get dissaproving looks anyway.

Until he heard Sharaku's voice, quite some time had passed. If he was okay, he asked...? Sort of a hard question to answer. He didn't feel the best, yes, but this whole dramatic argument served to a purpose at least: to let all stress he'd been building up inside be drained out. Up to a certain point, the teenager wasn't even crying anymore, a sign that final gesture really served to placate his mood. He rubbed the sleeve of his pajama upon his face, drying whatever was left of his cry outburst, before adjusting his posture and separating from Sharaku's hug.

...I am. — He said in a low tone, head still hanging low as he rubbed his eyes continuously. Now the teen has somewhat calmed down, he could feel how embarrassing that situation was. He wasn't the one for letting emotions take over, usually he was pretty composed in his speeches, regardless of how...emotional he seemed. And this whole situation was just the complete opposite of his regular self. — I guess I have to apologize for wetting your clothes... — He referred to the man's suits and pants. Shunnosuke's voice was still somewhat husky, however not unstable anymore, with a noticeable shy undertone to it. After all, he was still having a hard time to look Sharaku in the face and therefore changed his sight to a random side when he finally disposed of his sheepishness and lifted his head. — Will you write down you address now?...

''That's good..'' Sharaku would nod lightly at Shun's answer, watching the teen calmly, sort of in thought. He had no way of confirming for sure, but it appeared that the younger wasn't crying anymore and all, so there wasn't an actual reason for him to doubt that statement. Questioning further was -no pun intended- out of question right now, so he'd do with what he had. In case the teen was lying in some way or form...well, there was nothing he'd be able to do about it. And he hoped that wasn't the case anyway.

''Hm..?'', he would mutter, a bit thrown out of the loop at the next thing that was said. Oh, the thought had fleetingly passed through his mind before, yes, but he had pretty much forgotten right after. ''Oh. That.'' He would glance downwards at his front briefly. ''Don't worry. It's fine. I think that's the least of my worries right now.'', he would respond, his tone light, as he titled his head a little. He didn't truly mind. Nothing bad would happen from that. At least, it shouldn't. ''Sure. Have a paper and pen nearby..?'' He definitely didn't carry those around in his pockets on a normal day. There was little chance he'd need it while being out, so why? He did notice the teen had made it a quest to not look at him, but didn't want to risk calling him out on it yet.

One moment. — He retorted weakly, standing up finally and going straight to one furniture. After moving around and looking through every drawer, he found what he's been been searching: a small notepad, from which he ripped a single paper, and a blue pen. Turning back to Sharaku, he hesitated for a second. Once everything was done and settled down, it seemed weird and awkward to talk to him. Probably it'll take some time for the teenager to ignore how much he had opened up to the man in one single afternoon and start acting normal around him; he wasn't used to express inner feelings in one go like that. Or even express them in first place. Once he realized he had been standing there longer than the usual and holding the paper tighter than the acceptable, he finally said: — ...here it goes. — Walking back to the older, without sitting in the bench however, and handling him the requested items, he didn't know anymore how he would be able to teach Sharaku in light of these...arguments. It's not like his feelings had suddenly vanished to outer space or he was obliged to do so, but he gave his word, he couldn't back out now. If the man gave up on his company, however, it was a totally different story.

And he waited. For the end of the world, maybe. Shun was sure taking his sweet time there. But Sharaku wouldn't say anything, just watch the teen stand there like a statue and think about God knows what. This was apparently going to take a while...Yet, he didn't feel like taking a chance. Not right now. Risking to get called out for being inconsiderate of something right after the previous outburst? No. He didn't blame Shun for thinking what he did at all, but that didn't mean it made him want to open his mouth any more. Him talking was obviously ending up doing just about nothing, so he'd stay shut for now. Unlike Shun, he was just feeling somewhat gloomy about this. Arguments were lame in the first place, and while he'd take that...they were even worse when they didn't get properly solved. But if Shun wanted to avoid talking any more for whatever reason, he'd give him that. Whether it was for the best or not, he didn't know. He had no problem staying around, but he wasn't going to chase the younger literally with the kind of response that he was getting. He wouldn't even know what was he getting into.

''Thanks..''
, he would mutter, in a half sigh when the teen finally walked over to hand him the items. This atmoshpere was weird. He didn't feel awkward...just weird. Still, he would focus on scribbling on the paper for now, leaving the younger to stand there all he wanted. He honestly had no words for that right now. Shun was the one choosing to act that way, and he would make no move to refuse him that. It didn't feel right anymore.

The silence was almost tangible. Apparently Sharaku didn't want to open his mouth either, which was...demotivating. Maybe it was his self-centered side wanting the man to pursue him for once. Not that he haven't before, but... It was different this time. After expressing his points eloquently, Shunnosuke really felt like an inexperienced brat who screwed up and had been just scolded by an adult. He would never think he was wrong in this, for there was a reason of why he felt neglected and underappreciated, however he could understand everything Sharaku said to an extent. Not agreeing, because he was too prideful to acknowledge  he may have his fair share in all that misunderstanding but...he had to give props to the fact that Sharaku was trying. And perhaps Shunnosuke himself was harder to handle than Sharaku admitted to be...

Hm...so... — He sat down, back to the bench he originally was on. To break the silence over his pride and embarrassment was never too easy. — I take it you still want my company. For piano teaching, I mean. — He quickly corrected his sentence, though it'd remain obvious he wasn't referring to piano teaching, only. It was clear this was his indirect way of asking if the man still wanted to hang out with him, or stay close in any manner, without sounding extremely...teenagery or insecure — which he was, truly. Sharaku probably would confirm, otherwise why would he still bother writing his address down if he wasn't interested? It wouldn't hurt asking, though. And in light of recent...events, taking things for granted could be risky.

Hm? Sharaku would raise his head from the paper when Shun moved to sit back down, making a statement. He would look at the younger, absentmindedly tapping the pen against his chin. Wasn't that obvious enough? He would have said so, or at least just stormed off, had he not wanted to go along with the deal anymore, or the whole thing in general. He would sigh mentally. Apparently, he needed to get used to the fact that Shun wanted a decisive answer, rather than vague. It'd be a challenge to keep in mind. He was used to saying what he wanted at a particular moment, not really wondering whether it was enough for the opposing party. He just did as he wished in any situation, and it didn't appear to sit well with the younger. Then again, he had never been very consistent in what he did or acted like, and that would most likely never change. He was rather whimsical after all. But he could possibly adapt. To a certain level, that is. But ultimately, Shun would have to at least partially accept that. Otherwise, it would not work between them. Not without endless arguments, and just overall uneasiness. This would have to be seen in time.

''Yes.'', he would answer eventually, in an even voice, as he fiddled with the pen thoughtfully. ''Why not?'', he'd mutter, sort of a rhetorical question, as he closed his eyes, taking a deeper breath, before opening them again. ''You see, I am not mad...or any of the like for that matter. You have a right to have your opinion about things. Everyone does. We all think differently after all. If I were to shun you simply for this, and the fact that we disagree a lot, what would that make me? I'm not like that, despite what it might seem as.'', he would state, his tone rather easygoing. Time to set this straight. He had no problem with people saying what they thought. Actually, it was for the better. He was no saint. At least, when he knew, he could try to make sense in it. But if he didn't, then what?

Well, that wasn't so bad of a response. He said he wasn't mad or anything, it can only mean he's still on his good side. On the other hand, it seemed like Sharaku didn't truly care about Shun's "opinion about things" — it wasn't even a matter if opinion and different views — almost as if he was going with the flow solely. Once more, Sharaku didn't get what that question was about. Figures; he almost never did. He seemed to not be able to read other people's feelings after all and this can get tiring eventually. Then again, there's no reason to make it more complicated than it is. His response was far from one hundred percent satisfying, but it was in the positive spectrum still. The teenager didn't feel like explaining why he made that question in first place, so he just muttered a simple "Alright", in agreement, and left it at that.

Hm...when can I visit you then? — If Shunnosuke was going to teach Sharaku, he had to knew at least when he'd be available. He didn't want to get in the middle of somebody's work schedule. That and while Shunnosuke was on winter vacations from school time, getting ready for his 3rd year, he didn't have it easy either. There were other obligations he had no choice but to attend to, and the best for both would find a middle-ground here. In other news, the teenager was still having a hard time looking directly at him and using this small talk as an excuse to keep the silence away.

High 'n Low [Shun] - Page 5 Large-1

Right. Sharaku had a feeling Shun wasn't extremely happy with his answer this time around either. He wasn't going to say anything, however. He'd be damned if he was supposed to know from vague statements like those. What Shun had said before could have been interpreted in several ways. He was not apt at playing guessing games, and he wasn't about to start making it a habit just because someone did not want to state their intentions clearly enough. Dissecting every damn word was not on his work shedule. If Shun wanted someone who'd easily guess every feeling and meaning of his words in that manner, he should search elsewhere. He understood that being shy and such was a thing, but dragging a solid comment from someone forcefully was not his cup of coffee. When you're seriously after someone getting your meaning, then be clear with it, and don't expect them to play bingo for your sake. It just gets tiring after a while. He was not amused by the idea of making a guess, and then getting called out for being wrong, because Mr. Know it all believed others should know what exactly had he just insinuated on spot as well. Tsk. He liked the teen in general, but the kind of approach just bugged him.

He had been complaining about Hyde saying too much, and being like an open window...but in the end, he found it easier to deal with that than this. He was willing to admit his fault when it came to it, and he'd give others a chance. He always ended up being considerate, and never pushed anyone away for good because they pulled at him the wrong way a few times. Yet, he disliked feeling ridiculed. What did Shun want? For him to wave a magic wand and make things right like that? He had done as much as was in his strength. But when the feedback when as far as silence, or an unenthusiactic alright...was he supposed to deduce it all from that? The younger shouldn't be surprised that he was getting it wrong. He wasn't capable of pulling stuff from his ass, and that was that. He was just human, and he wasn't even inherently talented when it came to relationships. He did not intent to budge anymore. He was far from happy with this. How was he supposed to feel when he got this kind of response, no matter what he did? He wanted to give the teen a chance, but if this kept going in the direction it was now, they'd just end up hurting each other. Well, for now he'd give Shun the benefit of the doubt, but the younger would see that this set up won't work rather quickly.

''Whenever you want. I am not picky about time.'', he'd give a simple answer, his expression most likely unreadable at this point. He was starting to feel like a bird with clipped wings or something. He did not enjoy feeling pressured.

Well now...for someone who said he wasn't harboring any negative feelings about this, Sharaku's face didn't look like he was completely pleased either. He couldn't really blame him. In fact, that kind of empty stare he'd been receiving in the last minute made the teenager feel something he almost never felt: guilt. Shunnosuke wasn't the one to notice — or care — when he did wrong to another human being and its consequences, except when the affected person was someone he held dearly to him. And even then, he had to be convinced his actions had some sort of negative influence as he didn't usually subscribed to common sense of morality. Well, that...expression on Sharaku's face was pretty much convincing enough. As long as he wasn't being sarcastic and inconsiderate this time, Shunnosuke wouldn't have another emotional outburst. Then again, it's better exploding in anger and sadness than feeling quietly guilt over something; at least in the first case, he was sure his actions were reasonable.

Then I'll see you in  a few days. — That was the best he could say. When would "few days" be, the teenager wasn't completely sure, for he didn't want to bother him so soon...and besides Shunnosuke also felt there's a need for him to be alone after this. There were a few things about everything that happened in this afternoon he needed to think alone. On the man's side, that time was sufficient for him to buy a piano, in case he haven't already. So, it'll serve for both purposes: give Sharaku time to prepare his house to accomodate a piano and give Shunnosuke the exact time he needed for whatever he had in mind, his teenager issues...and the fact he had to notify his parents and grandparents his free time would be reduced from now on due to being somewhat "hired" as a piano teacher. — I'll notify you beforehand...so I won't accidentaly catch you in pajamas or anything of the like. — And...Shunnosuke smiled weakly. The teen finally could look at Sharaku directly, maybe anticipating a friendly reaction after all that mess. Making fun of himself, he wasn't the one for this. But...as long as it served well to its purpose as an ice-breaker, he'd be fine with that. Sharaku could understand his intentions this time, right?

Few days, hm? That could work, yes. However many few actually meant. As said, the time period did not really matter to him. He could accomodate a guest at almost anytime, if needed. Of course, he would be a little peeved if someone decided to knock at his door at...like in the middle of the night, but aside from that, he was fine with anything. He didn't expect someone to be weird enough to go for a visit at 3 am. or so anyway, so that was a moot point.

He would close his eyes, nodding, as he kept leaning his face on one hand. ''Mhm, can do.'' There was nothing else to say, was there? Actually, he was kind of nodding off, to be honest. This kind of drama was tiring in more ways than one. Not that he worked on batteries, or anything, but this turn for quietness was making him zone off, for whatever reason. Maybe he was starting to have enough of thinking so much. Though, Shun's next comment startled him out of it brilliantly enough. He was definitely not expecting that to come with the current mood levels. He would sit up a bit more straight, blinking a few times to clear his mind. Eh. ''Ah, not really neccesary. Besides, wouldn't it be fair for you to get payback? I still think pink suits you anyway.'', he'd throw back, his tone somewhat amused. He wasn't sure what inspired this, but he'd roll with it. Besides...it wasn't like it'd pose an actual problem...Hm, if he recounted the possibilities, there wasn't anything stupid Shun could catch him wearing. The worst that could happen...well, that one would be kind of one-sided anyway. He wouldn't mind...though, he suspected the younger would have a rather jumpy reaction. Then again, after all this..he didn't even know what was a thing.

Pink suits him, huh? He felt the need to ask why. Naomi has also stated that, if he was assigned a color, he'd be "Pink", in their first meeting. He wondered if being a feminine color in common sense had something to do with that association.
...you made it sound like you actually want me to catch you in a compromising situation. — Though his smile was still restrained and shy, he opened it a bit more this time. Sincerely, he doubted there was even a situation that could put Sharaku in an awkward position. As for the teen, all that was still more than awkward on his part, to converse like everything that happened was nothing and then they could return to their normal relationship, whatever relationship that is. In honesty, Shunnosuke was just making fake efforts to not make it obvious he was deeply hurt by everything he was told. Perhaps it was useless, anyway, Shunnosuke was never too good to put makeup over strong emotions, and chances are Sharaku could notice it. He took these "offenses" to a great extent and they wouldn't disappear this soon. Ironically, he felt like he got closer to Sharaku this day...although the way was far from the ideal. — Then...I appreciate the visit, but my family might really come back at any minute... — His subtle way of asking for his departure, for the well-being of both. Shunnosuke didn't need any more drama for the day, that's for sure, and he truly wanted to be left alone for some time. Should the man understand and, most importantly, concede to his subtle request, Shun would just lead him to the door as the good host he is. Just because he's not exactly on good terms with Sharaku doesn't mean he has forgotten his politeness.

Hm? That wasn't really the case. Then again, it was the same either way. ''I just don't mind. If you do, you do. If you don't, then you don't. I don't see it as a big deal.'', he'd respond in a matter of fact way. What was there to say? Sharaku had not meant that he actually sought so, but he didn't even blink at this anymore. He was being continuously taken in a bit more serious way than he was intending to be. Which was completely in contrast with Hyde, who on the other hand, rarely took him seriously at all. It seemed people just loved to put him into extremes, one way or another. Why, he didn't understand. Not yet, at least. It was weird, however. Tsk, well.

''Fine...'', he would sigh out when Shun posed the question of him leaving once again. Someone loved being subtle. He was tired of fighting when the younger kept not addressing the issue anyway. If the teen keeps attemtping to play it off, and not show his feelings ouwardly all the time, then he shouldn't expect him to care. He wasn't the type to coddle people against their own will. Honestly, he had every mind to show the younger what exactly it meant to be an inconsiderate jerk, and he very well could, but it would probably not benefit him in the end at all. He would let Shun show him out, though he would turn back to flash him a glance at the door, before walking out. ''Just so you know, you're a bad liar....'', he'd comment, before leaving the other to contemplate over things on his own. He wasn't stupid. At least, do it efficiently when you want to hide that you're still upset. He didn't really approve of the whole idea in itself, mainly when you wanted to be close to someone, but he wouldn't go out of his way to force the younger. But if he wanted to act cool, then he should consider upping his ante, because this made it even worse than being all emotional over it. Seeing as it was fairly obvious, yet it was made obvious that Shun did not want to discuss it, only made him feel sour.
