Gaming afternoon

"You shut up." Minato sat down and likewise stared at his screen. Somebody was dying in the CS demo that played. Good.

Just a little suddenly, he put down his headphones, stood up, and went to the bathroom.

Minato hung out in Genma's chair, and, very illogically (or so he thought), felt like a bit of an ass.

And, well, All was quiet from the bathroom. He might be crying, just a little (okay, perhaps a bit more than he had in quite some time), but he could still keep the sounds inside, at least. But it hurt. It hurt so fucking much. He'd forgotten how much it could hurt, but now, this only served to remind him why he'd distanced himself from his feelings before. Everything was just easier without them...

Minato typed up a lame excuse about needing to do homework in chat and started packing his shit up.

Okay, okay. Pull yourself together, for fuck's sake. You never thought you had a chance, did you, Hatake? No. Forget it. He shook his head and angrily wiped away the tears. You'll still have to face him everyday. Get used to the thought.

Sighing, he did a quick cover-up of the redness that'd spread around his eyes. Concealer came in handy, now that he'd finally gotten used to it.

Minato stuffed the laptop in his backpack and stood with the headset in his hand, indecisive. Finally, he placed it next to Kakashi's keyboard with a sigh.

And, eventually, when he was completely sure he'd covered it up and had composed himself again, he wandered back into the room, one hand in his pocket, fiddling a little with the usb key he had there, looking uncertainly at Minato.

"Yeah.. I'm gonna.. gonna just go," MInato mumbled to Kakashi's carpet.

A small nod. "The headset's still yours, if you want it." he muttered.

"I... can't really take it."

He sighed. "Well, then at least take this." he handed him the usb key. "I... Won't do anything anymore, from now on, unless you want me to. I just... Please, take this, at least."

Minato regarded him suspiciously, but, since he still felt rather like an ass, he took it, careful not to brush Kakashi's fingers with his own in the process. "What's on it?"

"You'll see." or rather, hear. "It autoplays when you put it in your computer, either way."

Put two and two together and... "Ah." Well. He could just pretend to have heard it. Yeah. "Okay."

"Soah. Yeah. I'll just see you around, I guess. At least to Kushina's test for the Dan."

"Yeah. Cool. See ya." Without further ado, Minato got the hell out of there as fast as he could without actually running.
