    Summary

    What exactly had happened? Jabber had broken up with Zanka. Having told him that despite the fact he had been into him and liked him, he just didn't see it working out in the forseeable future, mainly because of Jabbers own personal interests not being aligned in wanting to live a lovey-dovey life.. and feeling like he couldn't give that to Zanka like he knew he was wanting since that just wasn't his style.

    At least.. that's what Zanka proceeded to explain to both Enjin and Gris when the two came sniffing around to check on him after Gris helped Follo finish cleaning the main room, having obviously noticed he wasn't really as 'ok' as he initially'd tried to say when he first got back.

    The news-- struck Follo as if he'd just been hit by lightning.

    Summary

    He remembers their tiny dispute. And Follo’s shoddy retort. He kept searching around his brain for the leftovers of yesterday, to try and piece together the full sentence. But only two words really stood out to him.

    …pretty boy…

    What the hell kind of insult was that.

    Summary

    Zanka had always had a particularly sensitive sense of smell, even as a child. It was something he was forced to hide as a Nijiku son, as this sensitivity didn't always work in his favour. Strong, heavy smells would linger in his head, making him dizzy and nauseous, until all he could think of was getting away from them, overstimulated and shaking. His family had seen it as a point of weakness, though it often felt to him that every part of himself was a potential weakness growing up.
    -
    Or Zanka is picky with the smells he likes, it just so happens that he really likes Follo's.

    Summary

    Follo liked to pretend he didn't know what the shifty eyes and arched brows were referring to. Pretended they didn't always get shot his way after interactions with a certain blue-eyed boy who seemed to orbit him as of late. Feigned ignorance as to why she could possibly be scrutinizing him. Follo had nothing to hide. He’d never done anything wrong or worthy of suspicion in his life.

    Rule one of the Cleaners: never admit anything personal to Riyou, no matter how many scathing looks she sent your way. He's watched far too many innocent souls fall victim to her trap countless times. That girl was like an encyclopedia of embarrassing anecdotes, which she would gladly whip out at the most inconvenient of times. To humble you, to admonish you, to blackmail you into doing her chores. The moment you confessed some vital piece of information to her, she’d store it away to weaponize later.

    Follo has been slowly realizing his minor interest in Zanka might just be a crush, and he might actually have a chance at it being reciprocated. What to do about it? Attempt to take him on a not-quite date—preferably without alerting the suspicions of the gossip-spreading monsters in the Cleaners.

    Summary

    Zanka blinks at the older man. Then blinks again. Feels like his brain has done a hard reset at the sudden pivot in topic.

    Feels dumb when he blurts out, “Follo?”

    “Mhm, he was real worried about you missing dinner. Wanted to make sure someone brought you something.” Enjin states, reaching up to rub at his chin in a theatrical display of thoughtfulness. “You know, he could have just brought it himself.”

    or

    Zanka is injured, and Follo’s reaction forces them to confront unfamiliar feelings.
