masanari | [Futurelandia] It's April and We're under the sheets.

[ ... Yamato was perhaps too nice. Because while he was already getting one of Charlotte's four (alongside the two Fred got for hers) and his own, he trekked back to get Olivia's, at least getting it in the door and setting bot Charlotte's and Olivia's at the foot of the stairs before he was even able to get caught by Robin. and when he was, he nods, moving past everyone (and gets shoved by Junko to-) get next to the other girl.

And so he grins a little, ]

Okay, sure. Uh, which one? Or at you gonna lead me?

[ Man, this place is big. His own house is probably bigger, but still, wow ]

[Considering that Junko actually looked a little upset (or rather more importantly made sure that he saw that she was upset)? Yes, he was really being too nice.

But Robin is ignorant of all that, so when Yamato makes his way to her she's just happy to see him.]

Most of the other rooms are too similar for it to matter, so I thought it would be better to show you before someone accidentally took it.

[This might be somewhat untrue since the room that is meant to be Charlotte and Fred's is actually marked as such with a little post-it, but that was because they were a couple, so Robin figured they might appreciate it, even if they were busy with other people. Yamato's was farther along the hall, but Robin considered that the only real downside. It was spacious despite a four poster king bed, a balcony, and private bathroom.]

So, I have to admit that this is usually my room when we're here, if you find anything of mine just move it out of the way! I'm pretty sure I left my book somewhere around here.

[But that was the worst of it. The drawers and closets were clear, the entire house had been cleaned ... It was the kind of set up grown adults would be grateful for, let alone a group of teenagers.]

[ Yamato follows her, oblivious to whatever post-it notes may or may not exist or whatever other rooms other people are claiming. For his part, he just follows the shorter girl to the end of the hall, marveling a little both at how much taller than he he is as well as just how excited to see him she seems. He ... was not really expecting either of those. The whole thing was pretty strange.

Maybe it's just because she's not really talked with him ever before now.

And when he gets out here- ... Holy shit ] Uh, are you sure? I mean, if it's your room then you should probably keep your room?

[ This is way too big, way too much for him, isn't it? ]

Oh, no, it was only my room because my mother decided she didn't want to be on the western side of anything for the next six months, I think? [She shrugs, the definition of noncommittal.]

Don't feel bad for me, I have the other room with the balcony, and I hardly brought anything.

[If she was really staying here with her parents then she'd bring her entire wardrobe and fill up the closet and bathroom easily.]

It's a vacation, you're supposed to be in a luxurious space, right?

Well.... Well yeah but I mean. Still not my house or anything! So I worried.

... What's wrong with west?

[ . . . . Wow, he could. Be less awkward. But either way, he exhales and sets down his bag, walking over to the bed to run his hand over the cover on it before smiling back at the girl. ]

Whatever was also wrong with the color yellow in February, I have no idea.

[Robin tries to continue smiling but it's decidedly more forced when it comes to discussing her parents.] My mothers are very eccentric. They change their minds and perspectives nearly every other moment, unfortunately.

[ WHAT WAS WRONG WITH YELLOW IN FEBRUARY...

He's not sure he knows this... ]

Oh. That uh, that kinda sounds a little rough.

[ . . . . He should say something. Do something? Apparently these people were all potentially his so he should be able to do or say something, right? He's not sure what, but he steps away from the bed to walk a step closer to her, getting up in front of her and nodding ]

Parents, right?

[ . . . . . . That wasn't a good one and he knows it the moment he says it uh- ] Sorry.

[ WHY CAN HE NOT LIVE AND BE AT ALL COOL THIS IS JUST LIKE BEFORE... ]

Honestly, I'm more impressed that you didn't ask why I have two mothers.

[She laughed a bit quietly and reached up to push her bangs out of the way, more a nervous habit than anything else. His apology earns a slight widening of her eyes.]

Sorry for what?

[Ah - oh --]

... Don't worry about it I'm not the ... Most organized person? So it's fine.

[And that vaguely fragmented sentences was proof enough! She wasn't really an more or less awkward than him.]

Some people have two mothers, and like so what, right?

[ Yamato both is a very open and kind person... and also spends way too much time on tumbler. So if he had any reaction in a different context it might've been to think that it was cool to have something different like that. Hell, it could be a pack thing,could be a marriage, could be a same-sex mating? All of those are possible. Maybe one's even trans!

He's good for it.

But in this context, he was more concerned about trying to reassure her, and so he attempted to do that and just got a little lame. ]

I'm not sure organized has much to do with it though...

[Well, those would all be perfectly understandable and logical explanations, it was a shame none of them quite fit her. Still, the acceptance is nice.]

Well ... Awkward ... Or completely unable to say what I - mean to. Whatever you'd like to call it, I guess.

[But it was worth it to try, right?] L-Look, I know Junko must have - told you? But don't worry about it I didn't help with this in exchange for anything, okay?

[This probably isn't helping any sense of confusion he might be experiencing.]

[ Um???? ]

Junko didn't uh - tell me anything? She told me to pack some stuff and a swimsuit and I decided I should bring my laptop and that's about it.

[ . . . Um??? ]

She said she told you about my crus- [Her voice tilts oddly here as if there's any hope of avoiding the word itself crush like an affront to the scenery or the idea of the vacation. Mostly she's just terrified fucking it all up somehow.]

I might kill your sister in her sleep tonight.

[To be fair, this is her humor! But she also might not really be joking, since she's glowing a very deep color, half turned towards the door.]

[ . . . Um? ]

Please don't?

[ . . . Did he just hear what he thought he heard? He thinks of Audrey and how he was ignorant of that and if he just heard what he thought he heard does that mean he kept asking all those girls out and getting rejected only to be ignorant twice? Or was this more recent? Or-- Or...

Um.

He looks at her, and then at the door, and then back at her, and then he puts an arm around her shoulder and, ]

Let's go meet everyone in the front hall and uh -- uh. Don't worry about it too much. [ Um. ] ...Sorry no I should uh- [ . . . ]

You like me?

[ WHAT A MESS. ]

Only because you asked me not to.

[And that much was entirely genuine.

But, wow, okay Yamato! Just go ahead and, uh, touch her! Out of nowhere! Haha! Hah!]

I - Yes. I do.

[Like him. And, you know, she'd been ready to turn around and join the others since it wasn't going to take everyone long to drop their crap off, but now she can't move because he's tall and warm and sort of up against her and there's a wafting hint of roses, both gentle and full-bodied.]

I... I don't know how to respond to that. Uh - clearly.

[ She had to know about Audrey and how that kinda just sucked in the end they were dating for a while and h was excited and that just didn't... work out... much at all. Mostly on him, really, he got far to ahead of himself. Or at least that's how he sees it. That said, the hint of roses is...

Nice.

It's nice.

He intends to walk them, and he does, or at least tries to. But it's with slow, shuffling, steps ]

I uh. Sorry? I mean, I don't know you too well yet, so I don't know how to answer yet which's good for both of us.

Oh, good, that means I don't have to worry about it right now.

[All of the nerves she had been holding onto disappeared, and when she smiled it could only be described as 'pure'. But she gently kind of slide his arm off of her, almost looking apologetic.]

Since that's the case, could you - y'know, just be careful about touching me? I'm not - I haven't been touched a lot, so ... It's easy to be ...

[She twirled a finger as if that might somehow symbolize her inadvertent arousal.] This, and all that.

[ . . . How does him being indecisive help her? He is genuinely confused in this moment. That said, when his arm is lifted from him, he doesn't have the place of mind to resist the pull. It's slid, and he pulls it back around himself, He's left a little bit confused and he started to speak up-

.. But then, to be unsure about what it meant for his feelings only to turn around and say her arousal was okay was probably not fair to her, right? She might want clarity before sex? the Alpha was a little bit torn now but all the same... ]

Uh. ... Okay.

It's not a bad thing if you - you know. [ A beat. ] My scent and probably make most of the the people here [ And he copies that finger twirl ] knowing Junko she picked people who match up well to it.

Oh, that's exactly what she did.

[Robin was more than aware of it, which was part of why she was going to be very clear about her own boundaries. Junko was allowed to do whatever she wanted as she supported her brother, but Robin wasn't nearly as weak-willed as she seemed.]

I know it isn't bad, it's just bad timing. You wouldn't do something that might throw off your perspective before a tennis match, right?

I try to avoid taking to anyone except Fred, Nariko, or Charlotte before them honestly.

[ He answers that just a little sheepishly because while it's true it's a little bit guilt inducing to him that even Junko isn't relaxing enough for his mental state at the time. Wait though does that mean she watches him... ]

But still if I do this like I was thinking I don't wanna offend you or nothing...

Mm ... Well, I can appreciate that both you and Junko have your own agendas, but I suppose you might have to exclude me from whatever you have going on for a little while.

[It's not really her fault if neither of them can shift their ideas, and she'd said as much multiple times but maybe she was easily ignored or something.]

Besides, you just said you don't even know what to make of me as it is.

[So there was no reason to be upset that he might not do one thing or the other with her, right? In any case, she's begun to lead them back towards the stairs.]

Oh.

[ but that.... that just seems sad. Sadly and weirdly conclusive for something which he's not been privy to more than half the discussion about. The alpha frowns. And then knowing he's being too forceful as he follows... ]

I don't want to exclude you from anything. It's okay if you really don't want to, but... I mean we'll see.

[ does he have the courage... ] I like your feelings

[It might be a good thing that he can't see her expression too easily just because she's a step or two ahead of him - because when he says that she nearly rolls her eyes. Well, maybe it was a bit presumptuous to think he'd understand, even if the disciplines were rather different, he had to be as focused and intense about his tennis as she did about ballet.]

Everyone enjoys being crushed on, probably? Though I can't pretend to know for sure.

[Robin left it at that as they made it into the living room. True to her word Junko had made sure that everyone came back down, and they filled up the living room quite nicely. Robin took up the lone reclining chair that was near Charlotte.]

So, [Junko barely looked up from her phone at Yamato.] introductions and all that.

[ Yamato may or may not be presumptuous himself and that may or may not be a side effect of being an alpha. But for all his ability to sympathize with people it was hard to fully understand people you just met.

Still, now at the room... well, first things first let's get some attention. So he clears his throat and tries out his deep authoritative alpha voice he'd been practicing into the mirror ]

Hello everyone. Please focus on me for now.

[ He sincerely hoped Junko picked people actually predisposed to obeying him so he doesn't look dumb. ]

[Charlotte and Jasmine had been talking the most, and the former paused and Jasmine ended her phone call about as politely as could be expected, given the situation. Mya remained attentive, as did both Jasmine, Robin, and Tiffany.

Junko looked up from her phone to let her brother know she was present, but everyone pretty much knew her so she figured that this was more for everyone else's sake than her own.]

Okay. So I'm Yamato if you haven't met me.

[ He doesn't think he's properly met Mya and he knows he's never seen Jasmine before period. But good, good, despite a perhaps overly eager smile spreading onto his face as he glances around the room, he is managing to keep his serious Alpha Voice. That said, he didn't really release his scent now, so does is still work? His dad could make it work... What did Junko even intend for him to do here-- ... No, no, just focus, keep it collected. ] Junko brought you all here to meet me and to meet each other. And... maybe something more too. Could you please each introduce yourselves?

[ There, that's a decent start ]
