[ktfod]

I'm not acting like you.
Just, isn't it a little weird for us to share a bed?
That's why.
So don't worry about it.
The extra blankets will be fine.

[hoboagogo]

i don't see why it'd be weird
i mean i'd change the sheets

[ktfod]

It's still where you sleep.

[hoboagogo]

okay look
if it smells weird just fucking say so
but i've been showering and shit okay

[ktfod]

What.
No, you smell nice.
It's not about that.

[hoboagogo]

[wow aki now this got weird for whole different reasons]


'nice' is kinda far
but
sure
please don't be sniffing my stuff or whatever
so what's it about

[ktfod]

I
Shit i didt men nice like that

[-Ahh.. settle.]

Ah, nevermind screw this, we can share.
Sure.
Sleeping on the floor might actually be good for your back anyway.

[hoboagogo]

no it's cool i'm just giving you hell

[suddenly awkward WHAT IS THIS.]

sure alright
i'll swap junk over today

and i dunno about that there's probably no helping it
i think it'll just stay screwed uo

[ktfod]

When's the last time you ever had it looked at anyway?

[hoboagogo]

?
you mean looked at it or gone to a doctor
because probably never

[ktfod]

Maybe you should think about doing that.

[This conversation is much easier.]

[hoboagogo]

i dunno if there's much to do about it
feel like i'd be going outta my way for someone to tell me shit i already know

[man, way easier, yes.]

[ktfod]

Doctors don't just tell you things, they also try to help.

[hoboagogo]

it's not that bad

[ktfod]

So it's bad at all?

[hoboagogo]

[-Damn it.]

nothing I can't deal with. i'm fine.
just pops and stuff a lot sometimes

[And-- you know, the whole.. constantly slouched/hunched thing. Whatev. Totally... normal?]

[ktfod]

[Not normal. Makes him worry a bit.]

Yeah I hear it everytime you get up.
Doesn't really sound good, Shinji.

[hoboagogo]

not every time

[ugh fucking ugh that is the flimsiest denial in the fucking world goddamnit trying again]

like i said i'm fine.

[-Or he will at least make sure he's fine enough because ugh, doctors and making an effort to make sure he's better... And man he doens't really want to know exactly what all those suppressants did to his insides.]

[ktfod]

I could probably take a look at your back at least.
It might just be muscle tension.

[He can understand Shinjiro's disinterest in seeing a doctor, still- He knows a thing or two about proper stretching and muscle treatment.]

[hoboagogo]

[-Wow ordinarily he would say 'sure' but
the previous conversation makes him stop and think. Is it weird? He doesn't-- feel like it is. But is not thinkign it is we--

ugh fuck it. after a few minutes:]

alright
then you won't have to worry so much at least
just lemme know when

[ktfod]

Sure.
No, better if you let me know when your back's especially acting up.
And whether I look at it or not, you should really do some proper stretching before you go to bed.
And when you get up.

[Okay, dad.]

[hoboagogo]

it's usually always the same
and i stretch plenty

[no shinji, sprawling out over the bed and making half-asleep grumbling noises while waking up isn't 'proper stretching']

but fine. you can show me all that stuff tonight then

[ktfod]

All right.
See you then.

[Wait, what did they just agree to do.]

[hoboagogo]

[--man he's gonna-- just go buy some extra blankets and have a whole lot of confused mixed feelings about this whole conversation.]
