WHO: Inumuta, Gamagori, Sanageyama + OTHER POTENTIAL ROOMMATES??
WHERE: Kill La Kill house
WHEN: Backdated to Tuesday/Wednesdayish.
WHAT: Houka did a bad thing and now he has to say sorry.
WARNINGS: Violence (in the form of someone being beat up, and someone being whipped) SO... yeah.

Houka arrives back at the shared apartment, fully aware of what he must do. Per Gamagori's permission, he intends to apologize for his actions. Mostly to Gamagori and Sanageyama, but really, to anyone who's there to listen. In some way or another, he knows he's said or done something awful to his roommates, and it took that time in solitary confinement to really get that through to him. He had to be better. They deserved better.

Inumuta sends a look to Gamagori when he steps inside, the other nodding at his arrival, knowing full well what he plans to do, and takes a seat on the living room couch. Sanageyama joins him as well, kicking his feet onto the coffee table by said couch. Anyone who happens to be in the apartment at the time is free to sit in, it's not as if Inumuta minds. He is a proud individual, but not so proud that he'd be too embarrassed to apologize to someone who he thought he ought to apologize to.

Once the two are on the couch, Inumuta begins.

"I messed up. That much is obvious. Aside from getting caught, I did this without speaking to either of you. I thought I could handle it. I didn't think this would be a big deal, a simple information gather. It obviously wasn't. I underestimated what I was up against, and I'm lucky that I was let off easily. If this had been a more dangerous situation, things would not be so fortunate, I'm sure." Inumuta pauses, looking over both of their facial expressions, and continues. "I was reckless. I thought of no one but myself, rather than thinking of us as a team. I'm sorry for not telling either of you what I was doing until it was too late, and for failing to get us more information. I resign to whatever punishments the two of you intend for me."

He bows deeply and rigidly.

"Please forgive me, Gamagori and Sanageyama."

And that's how you lose with dignity, Sanageyama.

He looks to the floor where the whip hit, and then sighs out a quiet breath. He turns his head, just a little, to glance back at Gamagori, silently asking why.

[bulwank]

Stares down at him, silent, grave. He stands tall as always, asserting himself over him, allowing Inumuta to submit, appreciating it, and normally, he would have no problem taking some flesh for what has been done, he still wouldn't. Gamagori isn't spineless, has never been, but he isn't just a sadist either. He means what he says. This is done out of something more, something deeper.

"I will not whip you for doing what you thought was best for us all. What wrong you did was not something that falls under duty as a role but something deeper, from your heart. Something you can forget when you only focus on the task at hand." A breath, closing his eyes, pulling the whip back and up. He slowly starts to curl it in his hand.

"Your lack of understanding for our concern. Do not dismiss us so easily, Houka. When have we ever kept things from eachother? It is the very mind itself that leads the mind away." He kneels on one knee, moving to set a palm flat on Inumuta's back, steady. "So don't be so mindless, it is not weakness to confide, and do not think of dependency as anything more than being a part of something necessary to you."

Inumuta looks away from Gamagori as he speaks, not out of denial but out of embarrassment. Why couldn't he just whip him and get it over with? It wouldn't be nearly as emotionally difficult to deal with as this. His face is slowly turning redder, and he can feel it happening. He knows Ira is speaking from the heart, and that he means everything he says. Inumuta's fists shake a little, trying to keep himself cool and collected, although he knows right now... it might be okay to not be. He doesn't have to be so composed, at least right now.

Houka takes in a somewhat shaky breath, and sighs it back out as Ira places a hand on his back. It's beyond reassuring, and slowly, Houka leans his head against Ira as the other kneels next to him.

"I didn't want to disappoint you." He's said that before, but he's quieter than usual this time, just a little more subdued. "You two are ..." Don't make him say it, man. So embarrassing.

[bulwank]

To him none of this is embarrassed, at least on his end. Inumuta should be ashamed for forgetting, but Gamagori knows the other man is more accustomed to independence. He would strike him for that, Inumuta needs to learn. And often, it shows true strength to be gentle.

"You have not been a disappointment since you became one of us." Simply put, and he allows that lean, not a flinch or side glance. Just closes his eyes and slides his hand up to hold Inumuta's head where he put it. It's okay. There there. Just don't get in trouble like that again what if these people do worse to you or something. You know how crazy he'll get? Really crazy.

Inumuta sighs again, keeping his head there and closing his eyes. Hugs aren't a thing he really does, more because the action feels awkward to him than not being comforted by it. But this isn't a hug. It's close enough, but also not, so it works.

"I won't do this again." And he means it, too.

[bulwank]

It's a manly embrace. Accept it. Know it. Be it.

"I trust you to do what comes naturally, but next time, keep us informed." Pat, and he'll loosen his grip, allowing Inumuta to get up if he so wishes.

"I will. ...Thank you, Ira." He'll stay there for a minute longer at least. After that, he gets back to his feet and returns to the couch, picking up his shirt and pulling it back on. His jacket though... he can do without it, for a little while. Sometimes it's nice to not cover up completely, all the time.
