volleygeniusBy the end of the day, most of the school had heard the rumor of Flayn and Yukimura holding hands in art class-- at least, that's what the rumor was by the time it reached Marui. Was it really true? Who knew. He admits, he'll be a bit surprised if it is, but maybe Yukimura had a reason for it. No. If it was true, he definitely did.
Still... it does raise a question or two about them. Marui is happy for them if it's how the rumors make it sound, but it's not like Yukimura to be outwardly affectionate like that, especially in the middle of a classroom. Is he okay? Is Flayn? Yukimura had a good heart, but he didn't always see the feelings of others well. Flayn on the other hand seemed to have a good sense of the room but was more freely affectionate than most people. Marui could imagine it left more than a few unsure how to respond to it. Yukimura might well be among them.
It must be hard trying to work out what's normal in a new country, not being able to trust that it's simply what you're used to.
Well. Whatever happened, it'll be fine. Yukimura and Flayn both are resilient people with the strength to persevere through the obstacles that stand in their way. The only thing Marui needs to worry about is what he can do to support them both along the way. Of course, to do that, some more information would be good. Rumors were just that, after all!
So it's his usual casual cheer that greets Flayn for practice on their combination that afternoon. Marui is dutifully still wearing the heavier weights Yukimura assigned him after their first match together. After a few exercises, they move to the court to finish warming up with some light rallying.
"Anything exciting in classes today?" He asks as he lobs the ball softly over the net.
