Kariya is in the library! What a rare event...

He seems to be asleep on the desk with a calculus book open next to him. Maybe he was tired enough to think it a pillow?

> Poke him with something sharp
> Take a picture for blackmail
> Both

[doingthemistything]

[ > Poke him with something sharp

You pick up a nearby pencil and consider prodding his arm. That'd be rude though, and it'd probably hurt, given how sharp this pencil is! You turn around the pencil and prod Kariya with the eraser.]

Kariya, wake up.

[huntersnet]

"Huh wha-?"

He snaps his head up with a start and looks confused for a few seconds.

And then, he glares at you. It's like being poked back with the sharp pencil, but with his eyes. Except he actually pokes you back with a pencil that was conveniently in his hand when he fell asleep as well.

"What was that for?"

> "I thought it would be funny"
> "You shouldn't sleep in libraries"
> "..."

[doingthemistything]

Oh, it appears that Kirino's in the art room with you.

He's currently painting something with watercolors at a nearby table. It looks like he's really focused on it, too!

> Wait for him to notice you.
> "Figures you'd be the artistic type."
> "You paint?"

[huntersnet]

>>"Figures you'd be the artistic type."

"With the hair and all, of course you paint as well."

[doingthemistything]

[Whoa, okay, ouch. If looks could kill...

> "You shouldn't sleep in libraries."]

That desk hardly looks comfortable, anyway. [You glance over his shoulder at the open book next to him.]

... Calculus exam coming up?

[huntersnet]

Kariya grunts and directs the glare to his book. It's a miracle the pages aren't tearing themselves out! You wonder if he's trying to scare the information into his head.

"Yeah, after lunch. I was up most of last night trying to figure it out, too, but I don't get any of this at all."

> "Tough look, buddy."
> "Need some help?"
> "..."

[doingthemistything]

Oh, it looks like you startled him! He jumps a bit before setting his paintbrush aside.

Oh, Kariya... I didn't hear you come in. He looks a little embarrassed.

> "What's that even supposed to be, anyway?"
> "Stop looking so embarrassed, it's not like the picture looks bad or anything."
> "... Also figures you'd be good at it."

[doingthemistything]

Well, that explains why you fell asleep.

[ > "Need some help?"]

I'm no expert, but I'd be happy to help out.

[huntersnet]

[ Kariya stares at the painting, then the paints, then Kirino. It looks really good, actually! ]

>>"Stop looking so embarrassed, it's not like the picture looks bad or anything."

"Besides, you're like Monet compared to me."

[doingthemistything]

Ah, really...? Thanks.

He's smiling now, though he still seems a bit sheepish.

> "Don't thank me for telling the truth."
> "Yeah, whatever."
> "Do you do other artsy stuff too?"

[huntersnet]

"~♪"

Kariya's eyes light up at your offer and he nods eagerly, pulling a seat aside for you to sit down. The stuff isn't hard since you covered it last year and this way you get to revise for your own lesson later!

+5 wisdom!

"Thanks, Kirino-senpai!" He looks really happy that you helped. Bonding over calculus, who knew?

>> "Don't thank me for telling the truth."

[ But isn't that a little cheesy--? ]

"I wouldn't just about something like this!"

[ That's worse!! ]

You're welcome. If you need help studying for anything else, feel free to ask, okay?

Itachi Uchiha / Naruto / ota

[itachi_san]

[doingthemistything]

Flatterer.

He's smiling more confidently now though, and he motions for you to take a seat nearby.

I could paint something for you, if you want.

He seems really eager to do so, and he's already pulling out another sheet of watercolor paper...

> "How about a sunset?"
> "Think you could paint a cat?"
> "Hey, maybe you could paint a picture of me?"

[huntersnet]

The next day...

Yes! It's finally the weekend! You don't have any plans today, but it's too good a day outside to just bum around at home.

Maybe you should give a call Kariya a call to ask how his test went yesterday, and maybe invite him out as well.

> Give him a call
> No, let me bum around at home.

[huntersnet]

[ Kariya returns the smile and thinks a little about which option to choose since they're all pretty good except the sunset which is kind of boring. ]

>> "Hey, maybe you could paint a picture of me?"

"Let's see how well you can handle this challenge."

[doingthemistything]

[ > No, let me bum around at home.

You don't know if mom will need help in her shop, and it's better to be safe than sorry.

Though, calling Kariya would be the nice thing to do...

... Nah. If he wants to talk or hang out, he can do the calling.]

[huntersnet]

You roll around at home for a bit when the doorbell rings!

When you look out the window to check who it is, you see a familiar green-haried boy standing outside with a card of some sort. He looks a little nervous and as if he's ready to bolt.

Making him wait a little before you answer will probably be hilarious, but he might also run away.

You should...

> Answer the door right away!
> Wait a little to see what happens.
> Ignore it.

[doingthemistything]

Kirino thinks it over for a moment, then nods happily. He begins immediately.

It takes a while, but eventually he's putting finishing touches on the painting.

There. We have to let it dry first, though.

Kirino seems rather proud of the painting, and it doesn't look too bad, either! You wonder if he's just a one-trick pony when it comes to art, or if he does more than just watercolors.

> "Do you do other art stuff too?"
> "Got anything else that I can look at?"

[doingthemistything]

[ > Answer the door right away!

Even if it would be funny, it'd be rude to make him wait.]

Hey, Kariya.

[huntersnet]

[ It's pretty impressive! Kariya nods in approval and hums a little. ]

>> "Got anything else that I can look at?"

"Surely you can do other stuff, to."
