( Another night up until the early hours of the morning studying a script. If Haruto has bags under his eyes tomorrow morning, please pretend not to notice. )
@godza_shift ( Haruto sighs as well. He knows Shift is right, and he really doesn't want to repeat his previous mistakes. But that doesn't mean he likes being told that. Reluctantly, he puts the script down. )
Okay, fine...
@godza_shift You're still awake? If you aren't going to sleep, stop taking up space on my couch and go home.
( Not that Haruto would actually send Shift away. )
@godza_shift Don't mention it.
( He tosses a blanket onto Shift, then goes back to studying his script. Just because Haruto told Shift to sleep, doesn't mean Haruto will, hypocrite he is. )
@godza_shift ( Uh-oh. Shift is giving him that look. Haruto swears he's going to resist, but honestly, there's no way he's going to send the young actor out at this time of night. )
... Go ahead and sleep over on the couch. That way we can get some extra practice in early in the morning.
@godza_shift ( Another annoyed huff, looking away from Shift. )
You better get some rest soon. It won't look well for God Troupe's lead and colead to both be sleep deprived.
@godza_shift ( Well if it isn't the consequences of his own actions. Now he feels guilty, but he's not sure of how to right it. )
That's notโ I meanโ
( He huffs, forces himself to swallow his pride, andโ )
Thanks for coming over...
@godza_shift ( Now he's mad at himself. He'd tried to hide it with makeup, but he'd gotten sloppy the past few days. But... it's not like he can admit to Shift that he's struggled a bit. No way. Not happening. )
I toldya I'm doin' just fine! I'll get it so I don' needa kid worryin' 'bout me!
@godza_shift ( Haruto makes a mental note to yell at Madoka for thatโnot that he actually will. But for now, he crosses his arms, annoyed, and looks back at Shift. )
I'm doing just fine! I don't know what he's talking about.
@godza_shift Are you even trying to fool me? I know you're a better actor than to tell such an obvious lie.
( Haruto rolls his eyes. He remembers when Shift had his exams, cause the kid talked plenty about it, and Haruto pays more attention than he would like to admit. )
@godza_shift Guess not. Well, I won't tell if you don't.
( Though Haruto doubts he has a friend like that who'd care that much about him staying up so late, oblivious to the fact that the friend who cares that much is the one in the room with him. )
What're you doing up so late anyway?
