"You'd much rather be dancing through life?" Kyou tried, allowing his legs to fall into a loose criss-cross shape for now. It was both a literal and figurative statement, but it worked either way. He himself had the bad habit of overthinking things and wound up going in circles until he mentally went dizzy. Like right now, trying to figure out if maybe it would be okay to get just a little closer to Seishy or if he had misinterpreted signals through their meetings...

"In a manner of speaking," the Tora answered with a shrug. "You don't get hurt that way, ya know?" Another pause. "Not that I mean it's better not to care about people, being cold and loveless is a dangerous thing." Damn it, now he was thinking about Takumi of all people. Why did all his mind's negative tid-bits have to show up at once? Maybe it was because Seishiro supressed them so much, they were all craving a little attention.

A nod showed that Kyou got what his clanmate was getting at. "Y'know, for trying not to think, you seem to be thinking a lot right now..." There was an unspoken 'I'm willing to listen if you want' that the Tora was planning to tag on at the end there before he had lost his nerve. It was, however, startlingly well-implied by his tone. He was, of course, completely unaware of this, just as he was unaware of the cold breeze from off the water now that he was focusing on keeping up a conversation with Seishy.

"And it's driving me insane," the Tora added, running his fingers through his hair with a sigh. "When I finally sit down and think about something, it kinda snowballs, and before you know it I've got a million things on my mind. Not exactly a healthy practice..."
He paused, glancing over at his clanmate. He had heard the willingness to listen in Kyou's voice, it and might feel good to actually get some stuff off his chest, but Seishiro wasn't really sure if he could say the right thing at this point. It would take a moment to choose what to say so as not to let anything best kept secret slip.

"It's always better to let it out." Kyou coaxed gently. He didn't want Seishy to be so stressed-out by his assailant, and the best was to help without knowing anything as to just listen. Ayumu had done it often enough for him, and it really did help to just let it out in some way or another.

"You think so?" Seishiro hummed thoughtfully. Obviously he couldn't say anything about who'd beaten him to a sparkly pulp earlier. As he had said earlier, it wasn't in either of their best interests. Still, that wasn't the only thing on his mind so maybe... Talking wouldn't really hurt. "Seems like that may make things harder to forget." The Tora sighed dramatically and leaned back so that he was laying on his back, cradling his head in his arms.
"I've made a lot of mistakes in the short time I've been alive, my friend." He gazed whistfully at the oncoming twilight as he spoke. "Not that I regret a lot of them, but..." He glanced over at Kyou and shrugged. "They were still mistakes." A barely audible grumbled made its way out of his throat, although he'd never meant to say it aloud. "Stupid parents. Stupid Takumi." Ah yes, blaming everyone but himself like always.

A puzzled "Takumi?" had slipped past Kyou's lips before he knew he had said it, and he promptly kicked himself for it. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "No, wait, you don't have to answer that..." He was supposed to listen, not question Seishy about people... Or was that perhaps what the situation called for? It didn't seem all that likely that Seishy would open up fully on his own about these things, maybe he needed to someone to ask? The Tora didn't know, and was pretty sure he was wrong, but who knew? Perhaps it would help instead of hinder.

Hm. So Kyou had heard that little comment, had he? Seishiro stared at the ever-darkening sky for a moment longer, thinking. It probably wouldn't be a terrible thing to talk about some of his past, it wasn't like any of it was really secret. Hi knew pretty much everything about him, as did Fred. So really, there wasn't a whole lot he kept to himself. And old flings certainly weren't one of them.
"Eh, ex-boyfriend. First boyfriend actually." The Tora hummed thoughtfully. "Let's see, we starting seeing each other when I was fourteen or fifteen... So it's been..." He gave up counting after a few seconds. "Let's just say a long time."

Kyou did a little quick math. Basic addition and subtraction he was good with, but anything that was taught in high school he had long forgotten about. "Maybe six years or so?" He supplied, smiling a little at Seishy's theatrics. The Toras couldn't be THAT far apart in the age-range, just based on appearance and whatnot. "You remember him well enough, though..." Kyou smiled still, after all, if he had been Seishy's first boyfriend that was bound to stick out in his head.

"God, has it really been that long?" Seishiro laughed, his voice tainted with a twinge of bitterness. "Now I feel pathetic for still being pissed at him." Knowing so much time had passed made the Tora feel so old. Not too long ago he was in such a hurry to grow up but now... now he only wanted time to stop altogether.

Kyou nudged Seishy lightly. "Hey, it's not like it's easy to forget or anything..." Not that he was really speaking from experience, he had never had a serious enough relationship to ever get broken up over breaking it off. "Firsts just don't slip peoples minds..."

"No, they certainly don't." Seishiro sighed melodramatically. "Especially when they were your first everything." His gaze shifted over to Kyou, although his expression bore no emotion. "And I mean everything."

A somewhat (but not incredibly) startled, "O-oh.." fell from Kyou's lips at that. Well... that was shocking, and pretty sad judging from how bitter Seishy felt about it even now. What was he even supposed to say to that? "I'm sorry?" He offered, not all that sure if that was the right thing to say or not.

Seishiro waved the comment away. "Don't be, I kind of walked right into that situation. 'was my own damn fault." He shrugged. There really was nothing that could be done about it, not now. "I should've known that creep wouldn't have wanted anything other than, well... "you know." Once he was done he went on his merry way." The Tora sat up suddenly.
"Fred beat him up for me later though. Never seen him get so pissed." He laughed, this time truly amused. "It was great."

Seishy's laughter was rather infectious, and before long the photographer found himself laughing right along with him. "Wish I coulda seen that." He giggled out, it would probably be akin to Ayumu's protective levels when they skyrocketed. His sister was secretly a ninja, he swore that up and down. This claim was only reinforced through the fact that EVA of all people listened to her. Odds were pretty good that Fred, despite how nice he seemed, had the capability to beat someone into a fine paste on the pavement if he wanted to.
