Ritsuka woke with a start and nearly fell out of bed. Even after almost two weeks of this, he wasn't used to it. He'd just been talking to Soubi, almost confessing the truth to him, when bam - intercom, end of night, morning. He really, really hated that.

Rolling over and going back to sleep was interrupted when his nurse burst in, talking about how excited he should be and how cute his outfit was. Ritsuka just wanted to bury himself under the sheets until she went away, but after minimal internal griping, he eventually found himself on the way to the bus with a sack breakfast and a mostly normal outfit. At least the kitten sweater was gone, but it had been replaced with jeans, a brightly colored long-sleeved t-shirt that Ritsuka could have sworn was probably made for a girl, and a baseball cap.

Shoved onto the first bus, he made his way down. Average height and blond didn't exactly tell him much, but there seemed to be at least one person who fit that description so Ritsuka stopped next to him, looking at him curiously. "Uh, I'm Aoyagi Ritsuka. Are you the one who wanted to talk to me?"
