They have science together in the afternoon.

Space for Yutaka to sit near him?

If he's at class early enough, yes, he can get a spot on Suwan's right, and a nod.

"Hiya! Turns out someone did drop a ball and I was in fact meant to find a club. So now I gotta look through 'em. Journalism seems cool."

"I don't actually read the school paper, what do they put in there?"

"Not a clue! So when I look into it I might find out I don't vibe with it. But, you know, out of the options, at a glance, it seems cool."

"I hope you like it."

"What made you pick translation?"

"Well, initially, it just seemed like it'd be easy and I'd have more of my spare time to myself. But I actually like it, it's an interesting way to think about how people - decide what they mean and what words match it."

He's resting his head on his right elbow, looking at Suwan Masaharu as he says that. "And between English and Japanese there's a lot of room for trying to figure out which words to pick. Compare* or compare*? I know which one I'd pick in Japanese, but how do you choose?"

* 比べる
* 比較する

"Depends, does it need to scan?"

He grins. "That just makes it easy."

"Not necessarily. The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug."

Oh Yutaka wants to kiss this boy.

Patience. All in due time.

"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug," he repeats. With words that aren't as evil as "squirrel" he does a lot better! He is speaking English with a Japanese accent rather than converting English words into kana in his speech. "Is that a quote?"

"Yeah! Mark Twain."

Oh he wants to kiss this boy even more. That's an unreasonably attractive smile. And most importantly if a boy smiles like that when talking about something it is extremely important that he find it super interesting.

But like, not going overboard with it. He shouldn't come off as fake.

"Is Twain a particular favourite?"

"I don't have a single favorite but I do like Twain."

"What do you like about him?"

"He's a wit, and -" Ah they are supposed to do science now.

Aw come on man he was flirting with the cute boy. 

Wherever. Science. He has time.

And after school, clubs.

He should probably put in at least a little bit of effort to find a club he doesn't hate. However much he may or may not want to kiss a boy, trying to rush it almost never works; the boy needs to look substantially hornier for it to. 

So, here he is, flitting from club to club this beautiful late winter afternoon, trying to find his muse.

The journalism club will be happy to have him if he's interested! But there's also sports and anime club and various games and academic subjects.

What does the journalism club cover? Thinking about what initially drove him to it, he thinks he'd like to meet more people and stuff? That seems neat.

They cover whatever's happening! At the moment he's happening, he could introduce himself in the paper.
