Hirata’s rather innocuous question earned him an unsettlingly mischievous grin from Yuuhei. The blond leaned in conspiratorially with his beefy classmate, looking every bit the part of a guy that was about to spill the secrets of the very world itself. [color=firebrick][b]“Well you see,”[/b][/color] he started quietly, dangling his notebook in front of Hirata expectantly, [color=firebrick][b]“I’ve been chasing down a story over our break, but I just can’t seem to get anywhere with it. I've searched high and low, but all I've dug up so far is a bunch of hearsay that even I'm not crazy enough to print.”[/b][/color] But rather than seem defeated, Yuuhei all but glowed from discussing his utter failure to produce results.

[color=firebrick][b]“So after I finished unpacking this morning, I hit the bricks and spent the rest of my morning asking around to see if anybody has heard about[/b][/color] [color=yellow]Yellow Plague[/color][b][color=firebrick].”[/color][/b] As soon as the phrase passed his lips, Yuuhei’s playful eyes immediately focused in on Hirata’s expression with intense scrutiny, searching for any kind of reaction from his classmate. Because even if he hadn’t intended to drag Hirata into his investigation when he had sat down, Yuuhei simply wasn’t the kind to pass up opportunities that gift-wrapped themselves for him like this.

The critical look only lasted a few moments though, as regardless of what he saw he shrugged it off with a small laugh. [color=firebrick][b]“Ended up completely forgetting that I was supposed to be here at eleven though and all I got out of it were the uncomfortable looks of my cute juniors that I’m sure will haunt my dreams,”[/b][/color] he finished without the slightest trace of remorse in him. And with his small story finally done, Yuuhei leaned back into the couch and made himself comfortable. But rather than just leave it at that, he leveled another pointed look at his classmate.

[color=firebrick][b]”So your turn Hirata, ya hear anything interesting lately?"[/b][/color]
