{Kidou decided when he woke up today that he had given Sakuma long enough to calm down over the events that had happened upon Genda arriving. He had a plan, a plan to get Sakuma to forgive Genda or at least talk to him again.

After getting changed, he notices Sakuma still asleep and walks over, crouching down so he can be face-to-face with him and gently shaking his shoulder]

Sakuma, wake up.

Comments

[whatpenguin]

... Why not.

[He shrugs, and goes to grab his Neo Japan jacket off of his trunk, slipping it on as he joins them outside of the room.]

I think I'd like to see the aquarium anyway, I haven't visited one in a while.

[... Though, he'll be standing on the other side of the group from Sakuma.]

[notsoquiet]

[ After greeting Genda too, Haruna falls silent as they head for the aquarium. She didn't notice when she met in the lounge, but there was a certain stuffy air around Sakuma and Genda. Did they have a fight?

Well, if her hunch is right, her brother probably has more things in mind than a simple outing with friends. :|a ]

[kickspenguins]

[Sakuma makes sure to stay on the other side of the group as well and keeps quiet all the way to the aquarium. This is going to be a tedious trip, he's sure of it.]

[pengeen]

{He leads the group to the aquarium floor, looking over his shoulder to make sure the other boys were still following after every now and then. When they get to the floor, he leads them to a certain walless tank and stops, turning to the group and smiling. What was inside the tank, you ask? Why, there were none other then penguins. Cute, fluffy penguins.]

This is what I wanted to show you. I found them the other day, and thought that you guys would like to see them for yourselves.

[That's not all he gathered them for, but he'll talk about the rest later.]

[whatpenguin]

[They are so cute and fluffy, good lord - the animal lover in Genda seems to have woken up, and he's right by the water to look at them in wonder.]

I didn't know they had something like this, here...
... The glass seems so thin.

[Touching the water now, and -]

-- There is no glass!

[kickspenguins]

...Oh.

[The moment he realizes what's in the tank, Sakuma's instantly beside the tank, practically hanging over the dividing barrier as if he wants to climb over it and approach the penguins instead. He stays where he is though and stares at them in wide-eyed wonder.

It's almost as if he's forgotten there are others there with him.]

[notsoquiet]

They're so cute!!

[ And Haruna exclaims what everyone is probably thinking. She too leans over the tank, watching the penguins in awe. And after Genda's little experiment with the barrier, she too reach out to touch the water. ]

... Whoa! That's amazing! Onii-chan, I can touch the water!

[pengeen]

You could reach in easily, if you wanted.

[To show them, he sticks his hand in through the water for a moment before taking it back out.] You'll have to be careful around the other tanks, though. Some of the fish here are, uh, violent.

[whatpenguin]

[Violent shmiolent - once he hears he can go in the water, he's taking off his jacket and shoes, tossing them to the side and diving in to get one.

He... actually manages to coax one of the younger ones over, and he takes it - swimming back out easily before he's spotted by the other fish.
And he's going to hug it because omg penguin it is so cute look at it's flippers and its beak and its little eyes]

Ah, they're so precious! I've never held such an exotic animal before!

[kickspenguins]

[Genda suddenly jumping in surprises him but as he watches the other boy reach the penguins, he's so excited he forgets he's feeling awkward around the other boy. When Genda gets out of the tank, Sakuma's beside him. wordlessly reaching out to pet the penguin too.]

[notsoquiet]

[ That was a bold move! Haruna lets out a cry of astonishment as Genda emerges with a baby penguin. She manages to pet it too despite the crowd it is managing to gather. ]

Awww, his fur is still fuzzy. [ a giggle ]

[pengeen]

{Kidou crosses his arms and lets out an amused sigh. This was going a lot better then he thought it would.]

Be careful that you don't hold it for too long, it's still young and we wouldn't want to imprint on it and have it unable to return to it's parents.

[whatpenguin]

... Of course.

[... B-but he kind of
wants to keep it

It looks so confused in his arms, though - looking up at Sakuma and Haruna and wiggling its feet a little.]

... Do you want to pet it before I let it go, Kidou?

[kickspenguins]

[That makes Sakuma smile. After ignoring Genda for days, he forgot how silly the other boy can be.]

You should; it's really soft.

[He's also wants to keep it but understands they can't.]

[notsoquiet]

Yeah, Onii-chan. Especially its tummy.

[ Honestly she is bit sad to see the little one go, but she knows they'll be here. So she'll just save all the gushing for later. ]

[pengeen]

Oh, alright. [Way to peer pressure him guys!!!! Though, he secretly wanted to pet it this whole time anyway. He walks over and gently scratches it's tummy, smiling warmly as it wiggles and makes adorable noises. Why were baby penguins so cute????]

[whatpenguin]

... How about we keep it? We could all take turns taking care of it, and we could take it to swim, and feed it...

[H-he said that they just shouldn't imprint on it, right? Never said they couldn't... keep it...]

[kickspenguins]

[As much as he likes the idea...]

Don't be stupid, you'll be taking it away from its family.

[Only he spoke before thinking and as soon as the words leave his mouth he remembers he's been ignoring Genda. He looks up at Genda awkwardly then quickly looks away again.]

[notsoquiet]

The thought is tempting isn't it?

[ Haruna looks over the tank and sees an adult penguin hovering over them. Or more specifically, the baby penguin. ]

But it looks like the parent is already here - ...

[ And before she can finish, the mommy penguin jumps out of the water and waddles over to them. ]

[pengeen]

See, Genda? As much as I'm sure we would all love to take care of it, it has a family it needs to return to. {A pause]

You wouldn't want to be taken away from your parents or siblings, would you?

[whatpenguin]

... You mean my grandparents.

[He doesn't... have... ...

Okay, he puts the penguin down by its parent, letting out a sigh.]

... Are there other animals here? Like cats or dogs?

[kickspenguins]

[Seeing as their attentions are turning away from the penguins and Sakuma's not really interested in other animals, he wanders away a bit. He's planning on staying by the penguins' tank if they do leave.

Besides, he's figuring out when he can apologize.]

[notsoquiet]

[ Haruna notices Sakmua drifting away from the group and wonders if she should calls out to him - but that look on his face tells her that she should probably leave him be for now.

Now what is this about cats and dogs? ]

Genda-san you really want a pet, don't you?

[pengeen]

I haven't noticed anything yet, but I imagine there might be.

[whatpenguin]

... I wouldn't mind having a pet, here.
It's hard to sleep without my pets.

[He's used to having his three cats taking up a bunch of space...]

We could all go look, couldn't we?
Right, Sakuma?

[That's his attempt at bringing Sakuma back into the group, of course - he's even giving the other boy a warm, happy smile.]
