[RL: Devit; Shito | Backdated to yesterday, I think]

[ex_halfthetro706]

It'd been the worst week that Devit had had in a... Well, actually, it had been one bad week in a series of several bad weeks he'd been having for the past two months, but this definitely ranked up in the top three worst of them. Between Shito disappearing and being left alone in the dorm, he didn't know what to do with himself anymore; there were only so many places he could check and double-check, after all, especially when that video post had made clear that everyone was stuck in a school that apparently didn't exist or something. To top it off, he still hadn't been sleeping well, so he wasn't in a particularly good state of mind. In fact, he was kind of depressed.

Today was no different, unfortunately. There hadn't been any word since that post, and now those dumbass scientists were affected by some stupid virus. He was on his own again.

He sat in Shito's bed, leaning against the headboard and hugging Shito's pillow. It was a pathetic sight, but he couldn't give a fuck less. He stayed that way for some time, not making a move until he heard what sounded like people talking somewhere else in the dorm.

Unsure if it was his imagination (hey, it'd happened a few times already), he frowned and listened carefully.

"Why don't I what?" Shito stared incredulously up at Devit. Googling? It sounded dirty. He relinquished the mouse to the other boy in confusion. How did Devit know more about computers than he did?

[halfthetrouble]

"Google it!" He opened yet another browser window on Shito's computer and then reached around the other boy to type in the address bar. "You know, the internet search thing?" Yeesh, hadn't Shito been living in this century long enough to pick up on this stuff?

He then typed 'how to buy plane tickets' into the search field, hit enter, and then leaned back as dozens of results came up. "There, try one of those."

With a doubtful frown, Shito clicked on the first link. He blinked as he read, amazed by the amount of information. "Oh," he said as he started reading. "Air miles... That's not what I thought."

Wow, Googling was really useful. Why hadn't anyone ever showed him this?

[halfthetrouble]

"Kind of a retarded name," Devit said, reading over his shoulder. "But whatever. You don't have any, right?"

"No, I don't think so," Shito said, flipping back to the first screen and poking at the options to get past the air miles screen. After that it was a fairly simple procedure to purchase three tickets for the following afternoon.

He sat back, pleased. See! He could do computer things, too! And now that he knew about Googling, he'd never have to humiliate himself in front of Yuuta and Akatsuki again.

"There we go," he said smugly. "We'll fly out tomorrow."

"You're welcome," Devit said sarcastically, but there was an obvious hint of teasing in his voice. He seriously didn't get how Shito couldn't know this stuff already.

Shito looked up at him for a moment, then pushed away from his desk and stood. "Thank you," he said. And impulsively, he leaned forward to give Devit a kiss.

[halfthetrouble]

The kiss caught Devit off guard, but he welcomed it, all but beaming as he eagerly leaned into it.

This was good. Not perfect, of course, but having Shito back lifted his spirits considerably. Maybe things would be okay for a while.

Though Shito didn't like to think about it too much, having Devit around was lifting his spirits, too. In particular, the other boy's pleasure at having him back and obvious worry about him, made him feel wanted in a way he had never been.

He smiled genuinely as the kiss ended. Yes, maybe things would be okay for a while.
