Fukurou was incredibly uncomfortable as he intentionally avoided watching Oki work. He had been given permission to use this house, to change it, or even to invite people over if he saw fit... but somehow, this was different in his mind... He dropped a plate on the corner of teh counter, and it smashed... all over the floor. "Shit!" Fukurou murmmered, completely unlike himself and began quickly cleaning the scattered fragments up...

The breaking of the plate snapped Oki back into focus, and she paused in her folding with a sweater in her hand as she turned around. "Fukurou, are you alright?"

Fukurou sighed. "My language was uncalled for, I appologise Ms. Oki. I... Have a lot on my mind..." he said, not even realizing it sounded like he was making excuses...

"Your language was pretty tame, actually," Oki shrugged. "Are you sure you're alright with me being here? You seem agitated over something."

Fukurou looked up at her, and then back to the floor. "It is not in me to lie, Ms. Oki. Especially to someone I consider a friend. But I feel like I am lying to you at this very moment... It has me on edge..."

"What do you mean you feel like you're lying?" Oki asked with a frown. "Is there someone else here?"
Oki set the sweater down unfolded and stepped up to Fukurou. "I think you'd better tell me what you can."

Fukurou looked up at Oki from where he was on his knees in front of her. "There is no one else here, Ms. Oki," he said sadly. "This house... belongs to," he sighed. "This house is Sensai-Otomeken's house..."

Oki nodded slowly, but still wasn't sure where exactly the problem was unless Otomeken wouldn't want her here...

Fukurou looked up. "After everything I said to Yu.....ou," he corrected instead of saying Yuki's name... He stopped and looked at her with a blank stare... "You actually don't... I mean, you..." His eyes widened for a second. "I'm sorry to alarm you, Ms. Oki," he said, finishing his cleaning. "I think I can manage to keep my mind on the task at hand...

Oki looked genuinely concerned. "Fukurou, you still seem spooked. Listen, I've never had anything against Otomeken and I still don't. So no, I don't actually mind helping you clean. I don't mind folding her clothes. But this isn't about that, is it?"

Fukurou looked down and shook his head no. But he didn't feel like he could say anything still...

"Would it make you more comfortable if I leave, Fukurou?" Oki offered. She could feel her stomach beginning to tie itself in knots already, but her voice didn't betray her misgivings.

"Yes," he answered honestly. "But I would prefere that you didn't. It would be far to rude of me to be taken victim of by my emotions and deny you showing your generosity..."

"And it would be even more rude for me to stay knowing that it made you so uncomfortable, Fukurou. I'm not being much help if my being here is upsetting." She reached out to pat him lightly, reassuringly, on the shoulder. "It's alright, Fuk."

Fukurou took a deep breath. "No, Ms. Oki... Please stay. I would enjoy the company," he said with his eyes closed, trying to force the adultrous Baoh far from his mind, focusing hard on the thoughts he had, and trying to drown them...
