02 - a wolf among sheep

[bittydragon]

Characters: Yamato and YOU
Setting: Cafeteria! Oct 13th
Format: I shall follow~
Summary: Yamato is dressed up as an adorable lamb. He is downright psychotic with rage.
Warnings: He is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing. He has fangs. He will bite.



Yamato felt downright ridiculous as he slipped quietly into the cafeteria, looking about to make sure that it was empty. It had taken a stupid amount of time to slip this far without being detected, but it was better than someone seeing him dressed up as this- this-!

This lamb!

He was absolutely adorable! Cute! Cuddly! It was an outrage! He was a Hotsuin, and Hotsuin do not look adorable or anything of that nature! Yamato snarled quietly to himself, stepping further into the cafeteria. If he didn't need to eat, he would've just stayed under the bed for eternity!

It was bad enough going to that 'meeting' - where barely anything was solved except the candy collection. At least he could hide behind the other children there, but on his lonesome? No, if he was caught by himself, he would have to suffer being laughed at.

Total humiliation.

So someone find him and laugh at him already.

... Yeah he noticed that. He did promise to look out for you for Alcor.

"You know, you should eat more. Even if you're not doing anything, just using your brain will burn enough calories that you won't have enough left over to build any muscle mass."

[bittydragon]

"I eat enough," Yamato said a bit defensively. "I get full quickly anyway."

[crouching_sin]

"You need to eat more than one thing. You're still young - your body needs different nutrients than just pumpkin seeds."

[bittydragon]

Yamato stubbornly turned his head away. "I know. Carbohydrates, protein, calcium, as well as other vitamins and minerals are necessary for optimal growth. I'll just eat food with those later."

[crouching_sin]

"... How old are you?" A child his age shouldn't be talking like that.

[bittydragon]

"Seven," Yamato replied, glancing up at the man with a frown. "But my age means nothing. I am intellectually on par with adults."

[crouching_sin]

"Oh, I know that better than you could imagine." He chuckled, thinking back to how he was always considered a 'genius' child in many ways. He wasn't. He just had more experience.

"Knowledge, however, has much less use when you do not possess the emotional maturity to put it to a good cause."

[bittydragon]

Yamato bristled a bit at that. "I have emotional maturity. I do not allow myself to fall prey to unnecessary emotions that would otherwise cloud judgement."

HUUUUUUUUUUUUFF.

[crouching_sin]

... You're not convincing him at all.

"And that's where you're wrong. Those 'unnecessary emotions' should be used as indicators, or tools. You're still young. Don't allow yourself to become a bitter old man like me."

[bittydragon]

"How can they be used as tools? I was told that emotions are a hindrance, and will only soften those that would otherwise be strong," Yamato replied, frowning slightly.

[crouching_sin]

"Well... fear, for example. Considering the natural fight or flight reaction your body produces, if you can keep your wits about you, you can utilize your physical reactions towards your intended rather than instinctual ends." Physical reactions were very powerful things... when used correctly.

[bittydragon]

"Do you mean adrenaline?" Yamato inquired. "Taking advantage of that is simple; you suppress base emotions such as fear to have a clear mind, enabling you to utilize the released adrenaline to its full potential. Again, showing that emotions are unnecessary. They can be used to catalyze certain chemical reactions, but beyond that, are unnecessary."
