Fuda #41 [action/video]

[idealism]

[It had been a pretty sucky week. Tsuzuki doesn't want to show Hisoka the letters Yuri left for them when she was sent home. He suspects his partner is taking her disappearance hard enough as it is. But what is he supposed to do?]

[The answer is to pretend there's no problem. He taps his pen on the paper as he thinks, turning to the journal eventually.]

Out of curiosity, if you could only choose one word to describe your best friend, what would it be?

What brought this about?

[ And is Joshua going to have to play therapist over it? ]

[idealism]

What, the question?

I was just thinking about stuff. [Although Joshua has been a good help in the past, he can't help but be nervous when he asks questions. He's not afraid of asking the hard ones, after all.]

[neverplaysfair]

What sort of stuff?

[ He's learned well. ]

[idealism]

Oh, you know. Just the usual.

[He shifts, suddenly uncomfortable.]

It's really no big deal. I promise.

[neverplaysfair]

... You're still upset over not being able to date him?

[ Gotta tell Joshua or he's going to keep making embarrassing guesses. ]

[idealism]

Joshua!

[He doesn't get that it will get worse if he fights it. Tsuzuki only focuses on the shame he feels when Joshua mentions it. It's even worse that it's a place where Hisoka may be able to see it.]

Don't say things like that in public. And it's not what I was talking about.

[neverplaysfair]

Then what were you talking about?

[ Fess up or Joshua's going to keep making embarrassing guesses. ]

[idealism]

But Joshuuaaaa.

[He's not getting it. He just hopes that some whining will get him out of it.]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Nope. Whining gets more guesses. ]

Trying to go further?

[idealism]

What? No!!

[neverplaysfair]

Then what?

[idealism]

I was just thinking about our friends here.

[neverplaysfair]

What about them?
