[ he gets to dressing the small cut immediately, less teasing and more concentrated now that he actually has the tools for it. he starts with cleaning.
but not allowed, huh. the one thing about being with so many different people is that he's been in or at least observed plenty of home environments, quieter than usual. ]
[ It's a little nice to have Elysium do this for him, or anyone apart from medical professionals because they're obligated to. He's so used to treating himself, so someone else doing it for him? Not out of obligation? It feels good. ]
Might sleep at the park, inside a playground tube. I can take a shower at school, since we have those in the locker rooms and I have a few change of clothes.
... Great. Can't wait to add "trespassing" on my criminal record when the owners of the house happen to find me sleeping on the bed of one of their rooms.
[ "Not really around" means they can still be around whenever, and Hien doesn't like the idea of getting caught while sleeping on a bed in a room where their son was supposed to be sleeping. Just some random ass guy in their house.
But still, the gesture means a lot to Hien. Letting into someone's house is a sign of trust, or at least that's what Hien sees it as... despite Elysium mentioning that he wouldn't be home anyway. ]
Wouldn't your boyfriend get the wrong idea even if you're not home?
… He isn't the type to care, but I could ask him if you really wanted me to. And when I said they're 'not really around,' that was an understatement. The odds of you running into them are less than zero.
[ his smile turns blithe, and there's the distinct sense that hien won't get anything more out of him than this. with the cut dressed, he smooths hien's bangs back into place and, without ceremony, sets one of the snack bags in his lap. ]
I was wondering why you looked down earlier. [ … ] I know you didn't care for exchanging numbers, but—here's mine.
[ if there's no protest, he starts scribbling it into hien's palm. ]
Just let me know if you need help. I should get going since my 'boyfriend' probably misses me by now. There's nothing wrong with us looking after our friends, yeah? [ a small wave goodbye. ] See you.
[ His palm tickles a little bit when Elysium writes his number onto it. He looks down at it for a second too long before looking back up to see Elysium waving goodbye. ]
... See you.
[ If there's one thing he has right now, it's at least his cell phone. Good enough, even after being kicked out of a home.
[ He's not sure about being at someone's place would help him relax compared to a hotel, but then he thinks about it from a perspective of a location to be intimate with each other and suddenly he agrees with Elysium.
If you think I'm the kind of guy who won't call it in Don't
I'll be sure to get my favour's worth when the time comes ✌️ G'niiiiiiiiight
[ and there he goes! mercurial as ever…
for someone who's consistently late on mondays, he sure shows up bright and early looking remarkably well. he's also significantly less sloppy the first time hien had found him at the pharmacy, bundled up in a thick coat and scarf, rocking on his heels as he waits.
make him idle long enough and he'll start humming a small tune. ]

Did you get into another fight?
no subject
No, but I'm not allowed to go home until next week, so I'm thinking about what I should do.

That, and I probably won't be around much this week anyway.
[ there's maybe the faintest hint of amusement in his voice. he slaps a band-aid on hien's forehead with a plop. ]

A bit later that day, he sends Elysium a text: ]

I'll have time tomorrow morning
Say… before class?
Meet me at the intersection near the school

Not his own house though. He could never. ]
