oshitari_kenya in the_zoneWho: Kenya and Byodoin
When: Around July 17
Where: The Pool
What: Kenya meets Byodoin and ends up agreeing to something stupid?
It was time for some training, and as far as Byodoin was concerned, the pool was the perfect place to get in shape. And so off he went, donning his UEA issued speedo and jumping into the water to start doing laps.
Oh, thank god he didn't have to watch Kintarou during all this. The solitude was so nice.
After a very strange and humiliating day in the med bay, Kenya was ready to swim! He had on his speedo (which was strangely perfectly fine), and he was ready to swim when he noticed someone else already in the pool. He waved, smiling. “Hello! Mind if I join you?”
Byodoin looked up at the form he only vaguely recognized, before settling his eyes on those legs. "Oh, it's the nurse who wears the skirt. Nice legs."
Kenya groaned. “I don’t wear the skirt because I want to!” Kenya insisted. “Um, but thanks. I never skip leg day!”
"I can tell. Legs like that don't happen without working for it." Byodoin replied, before nodding to the water. "I assume you're here to work out too? You're free to join me, I don’t own the pool."
Kenya grinned, slipping into the water. “Thanks! Yeah, I love running. If you can’t go fast, what’s the point?” He laughed. He looked at the other man. He was kind of scary. He was covered in scars and big, but he seemed nice. “What do you do here?”
"Head of security. Lieutenant Commander Byodoin at your service." Byodoin replied with a nod, stretching in the water. "And you're the new nurse. The one training under Doctor Bitch-and-moan. That has to be an interesting job."
He suspected that the surly doctor was the reason Kenya wore a skirt, too, but he wasn’t going to shut down any hazing. It was funny.
“Cool. I’m Oshitari Kenya!” Kenya grinned. At least until Atobe was mentioned. “Ugh…yeah, he’s my cousin’s friend, too, which makes it worse.” Because he had to be nice.
"Family on the base, huh? Oshitari... so you're Dr. Sexy's cousin then?" Byodoin raised an eyebrow. Kenya was very good looking, but he didn’t really ooze sensuality like the other Oshitari so he wouldn't have guessed they were related. "Small world, I guess. Glad I don't have family on base."
Unless you counted Tooyama.
Kenya gaped. “Dr. Sexy??” Were people seriously calling him that? How embarrassing! “Yuushi is not as sexy as he pretends to be. He’s an utter dork.” He started lazily swimming. “He’s my best friend, though.”
"My best friend is stationed on a planet across the galaxy." Byodoin thought about Duke... hopefully the other man was doing well. "It's good your best friend is here with you, though. Should make the next five years easier... have you ever been stationed somewhere like this before?"
“Yeah. I hope you’ll be able to see your friend again soon!” Kenya chirped. At the question, he shook his head. “No, usually my parents were sent to well-established colonies. There was that swamp one, though.” Kenya’s dad was a pretty famous doctor and it would be bad to put such a well known doctor in danger.
"You'll have an interesting time getting used to things here, then." Byodoin smirked. "This place is a lot smaller and less advanced than other colonies, so you'll have your work cut out for you."
It was a place people were usually sent to get rid of them, honestly. He wondered if anyone wanted to get rid of Kenya. More likely the guy was just horribly naive, coming out this way.
“Yeah, I know.” Kenya laughed sheepishly. “But as much as Atobe is… Atobe, he is famous, and studying under him will look really good when I finally get my doctorate!” Yeah, Kenya was gullible as hell. “Besides, life is about facing challenges, yeah?”
Definitely just naive then. Okay.
"Well, you'll face some here, but hopefully you're able to stay optimistic. It's cute." Byodoin commented, before diving under the water and starting to swim for the other side of the pool.
Kenya just started, bright red. “Cute??” He frowned and decided to race Byodoin, quickly beating the other man to the other side. That would show him! Oshitari Kenya wasn’t cute! He was cool, dammit!
Byodoin surfaced on the other side, raising an eyebrow at Kenya (the decidedly cute man) already there. "Impressive... but how's your stamina?"
He took off again, ready to do some laps with Kenya to test and see how long he could go fast.
“You would be surprised!” Kenya grinned. His stamina wasn’t bad. He kept going, pulling ahead of Byodoin time after time, until, after about 40 laps, he finally started to lag.
Byodoin managed to stay steady for the whole time, though he moved less quickly than Kenya. He was no joke. "I'm impressed. You should come work out on the treadmills with me and the brat sometime. You'd keep up no problem!"
Kenya stopped to take a breather. He titled his head. “Brat? I thought you didn’t have family here?”
"Not his actual family. I'm more his handler than anything." Byodoin replied, taking a breather himself. "Tooyama Kintarou is his name. You've probably heard of him."
“...The war hero? Oh! Yeah, he wants me to run with him.” Kenya laughed. “You seem to have your hands full! But yeah, I can run with you guys!”
Byodoin snorted. "Yeah, the famous hero. It's my job to keep him in line, which can be exhausting. You'll understand when you meet him."
Kenya might be able to outrun the brat though, which could be useful.
"Yeah, he sounds like a handful, but if you want someone to go running with him, I'm your man!" Kenya grinned.
"I'll take you up on that. Wear the brat out a little." Byodoin replied with a nod.
Kenya gave Byodoin a thumb’s up. “I mean, after work hours. I can’t run in a skirt.” Or the heels that showed up shortly after his stockings did.
Byodoin nodded. Running in heels sounded like a good way to break something. "I'm sure the brat will be thrilled to have someone new to call a friend."
Hopefully it would keep him busy and out of Byodoin's hair.
Kenya nodded. “I’ll be happy to! I bet he’s better than my own little brother.” His stupid, soon-to-be-brain surgeon little brother. “Anything I should know about him? Or is it just that he wants someone to run with?”
"He's mentally like, ten. And he is physically insane. Don't wrestle him, he'd probably kill you." Byodoin looked thoughtful. What else was there to say about Kin? "...he's a good kid, though."
Kenya nodded. “Okay, sounds good. I’ll do my best!”
Byodoin nodded, before resuming swimming laps. Might as well finish his workout now that he'd obtained a new babysitter for Kintarou.
Kenya was none the wiser for what he had really signed himself up for. All he knew is he had plenty of people to exercise with now!
