[It's actually such a surprising turn of events he takes like, a single step back after he's shoved; very briefly, his stance becomes far more stable and he clenches his fists, almost like he's going to raise them - but he stops himself from actually doing it, becoming less tense, slipping back into a more relaxed stance instead. It's just an instinctual reaction from his days as a delinquent, from having gotten shoved a lot since he was so small back then.]

How the hell did you even find out? Did she tell you already??

[databoner]

[And, funnily enough, since Inumuta doesn't do a whole lot of shoving people to begin with, when Sanageyama takes his instinctive stance to fight back, Inumuta almost flinches away at that point. He doesn't fully flinch, but the reaction to step back and hold up his arms was certainly there. Aaaand, moment over.]

How the hell do you think I found out?!

[As in no. She didn't tell him.]

[ironbuttmonkey]

So were you spying on her or something?!

[TRIES TO...put this on him.........]

[databoner]

...

[Well, yes, but-]

I was spying on you! I knew you'd try to talk to her about this, so I went to make sure, and sure enough! You're talking to her about the exact thing I didn't want you to! Now she's going to think I'm incapable of dealing with a situation like this on my own! I mean.... Yes, you helped me figure some things out, but you didn't need to go further than that!

[ironbuttmonkey]

[Well, he can't really deny any of that. He was going to ask Annie if she'd not tell Inumuta, since he knew it'd bother him.]

Oi, c'mon...[Hands up, open, more of a defensive gesture than anything.]...you're really blowing this out of proportion, aren't you?

[databoner]

Would you like it if I talked to Lady Satsuki about you?

[Alright, not a fair comparison Or is it?]

[ironbuttmonkey]

[That depends, does he have a crush on Annie.

But really, that'd depend on what they're talking about. For the most part Sanageyama is a pretty open guy.]

...alright. Alright.

Look, I'm sorry - but you read what I said. You can see where I'm coming from, trying to get involved, right?

[databoner]

[Short blonds...

You know what he's implying there, Uzu.]

...

I know what you're trying to do, and I appreciate the thought.

[A sigh.]

Leave it to me to mess up my first friendship with someone I wasn't introduced to by Lady Satsuki.

[ironbuttmonkey]

Hey, c'mon. You didn't mess up.

[Entirely, anyway.]

She said she's not against the idea. That's something.

[databoner]

She did say that, didn't she.

[Which is a little uplifting.]

...I'll be sure to speak to her soon.

[SURPRISE, SHE MESSAGES HIM FIRST AND GIVES HIM A HEART ATTACK.]

[ironbuttmonkey]

That's the spirit! A good attitude effects more than you think.

[He gives Inumuta a firm pat on the shoulder, smiling, trying to be reassuring.]

I have a feeling it'll work out. Just keep positive, alright?

[databoner]

[Oof. But. Yes, kind of reassuring. You have a real fucking arm there though buddy.]

Yeah. I'll try.

[ironbuttmonkey]

...by the way.

[Because ever since a Certain Conversation he had with Karen, now he's just paranoid about what would be otherwise taken as a harmless remark before now.]

Why did you say Lady Satsuki?

[databoner]

[A look.]

Why do you think I said Lady Satsuki?

[ironbuttmonkey]

[RETURNING THAT LOOK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN.]

I don't know.

Why did you?

[databoner]

Hmm.

[And that's all the sound he makes. He looks to his wrist where his communicator tattoo is.]

It looks like Annie sent me a text. Excuse me, I have to take this.

[WALKING AWAY..........]

[ironbuttmonkey]

[Son of a-]

H-hey, hold on!

[SURPRISE ASSHOLE HE CAN WALK TOO. And he's walking after him.]

Tell me what you meant!

[databoner]

[Damn. He can't ban people irl...]

Do you mind? I'm doing something important.

[is that a blingee generator on his phones screen? It is.]

[ironbuttmonkey]

[...

Okay, fine. No problem.

He's just going to hang over Inumuta's shoulder and watch what he's doing. Completely silent. Also hovering inches away from actually being in contact with him, but not actually making contact. Because as the saying goes "not touching, can't get mad".

Walk away and he'll follow, but he won't say anything.]

[databoner]

[Oh come on. Really? Fine. He's going towards the bathroom. You really going to follow him in there?]

[ironbuttmonkey]

[It's not like there's anything there he hasn't seen already.

Lead the way nerd.]

[databoner]

[TRYING TO SLAM THE DOOR SO UZU CANT COME IN TBH.]

[ironbuttmonkey]

[Well, he definitely doesn't follow after him. As Inumuta closes the door, right up until it's actually closed, it'll seem like Sanageyama's outside the entire time.

Except there he is, inside of the room with him.

Did you forget he's the fastest? So fast he can create tangible(somehow???) afterimages?]

[databoner]

[ c h r i s t.

Once Inumuta turns, and yes, there's Sanageyama, he nearly has a heart attack. Grabbing at his chest through his shitty hoodie and everything.]

-Do you want to know that fucking badly?!

[ironbuttmonkey]

Look.

[He sounds so calm to a ludicrous degree, like they're just having a nice normal chat and he hasn't been essentially stalking him the past ten minutes.]

Someone said something to me a little while ago, sort of like what you said, so I want to see if you said it for the same reason, that's all.
