The internal battle of figuring things out wasn't really getting anywhere for Shun as time went on. It certainly didn't ease up on him when a certain day of pink rolled on around. The entire day before, he spent trying to think of what he was going to do. Did friends do anything for Valentines day? He hadn't done anything of the sort with Bent-Tail but for whatever reason he found himself considering it for Mitsu. Perhaps he should have consulted his rat friend on this, but he didn't. The confusion frustrated him as usual, and there were still a lot of things he didn't understand.
Eventually he became fed up with trying to figure things out and just sought out the girl in the morning, not really thinking of the potential consequences. Something about this felt.. different but he didn't dwell on the why's at this point.

It wasn't a school day thankfully but Mitsu had to work earlier in the day, fighting against the lunch crowd at the cafe. She had made out with a decent amount of money though, thanks to it all so she was able to overlook the stress of the matter at the moment.
Throwing her bag with her uniform in it over her shoulder she was actually on her way back to the dorms to put her stuff away and shower before she went to see if Desmond wanted to do anything. She had never really done anything for Valentine's Day before so this was a new experience, one she was looking forward to sharing.
It was on her way back that she spotted Shun on the path to the dorms. Curious, she waved at him in her approach, a light smile on her face. Her hair looked a little disheveled but otherwise she was no worse for wear than on any other day.

As he made his way towards her dorm, Shun spotted Mitsu heading there as well. She looked a little worn down, but he noticed her uniform over her shoulder which explained that. A faint smile flickered onto his expression as he made his way over towards her.
"Hey Mitsu," he greeted once he was close up, "Do.. you have some time?"
There was a bit of hesitation there, but it didn't seem like it was for anything particularly dire.

"Hey Shun," Mitsu greeted in return as he approached. Curious about his question Mitsu gave it a little thought, though she didn't hesitate long. It was still fairly early after all so she had plenty of time to go back to the dorm, shower and change. "Yeah, sure. What's up?"

There was a little pause before Shun went on to ask what was on his mind. He still wasn't sure if this was exactly normal but... very few things he did was along the norm anyway. Besides, there was something there that made him want to go through with this.
"I.. was wondering if you wanted to... um.. go out.. later..?" he asked while shifting in place a bit. That was a lot harder to say than he thought, and he was still very unsure of everything there.

"Like hang out?" She obviously didn't grasp what he was aiming for. "I was...actually going to see if Desmond wanted to do something this evening. Maybe we can hang out tomorrow?" It's not like she didn't like hanging out with Shun but she wanted to spend her evening with Desmond, it was their first actual holiday as a couple.

To be honest, even Shun wasn't really sure what he was asking. But before he could try and formulate an answer, she had turned down the offer with an explanation. For a moment or so, he looked at her with confusion. Usually when he asked her to hang out or anything she'd go along with it. Or if she didn't it was usually because of schoolwork... not because she wanted to spend time with someone else. There was a great deal of disappointment that he felt here, and that just furthered the confusion.
"..With Desmond?" he echoed, hoping for a little elaboration since he was fumbling with his own thoughts at the moment.

Mitsu's brows furrowed together seeing the mix of emotions play across the assassin's face. Shifting her bag a little uncomfortably she gave a short nod. "Yes...with Desmond." She confirmed. Maybe he was upset because she was saying no? "It's Valentine's Day...so I was hoping we could spend the evening together. It's not that I don't want to hang out with you. I like spending time with you, but this is my first real holiday with Desmond." She didn't know if he would understand, but she hoped he would.

While he was confused before, her wording couldn't be more clear to him now. For a moment, Shun's eyes widened as he realized what it was she meant here. His gaze almost immediately darted away from her, glancing towards the ground as his mind raced over possibilities of some sort of misunderstanding. He couldn't think of any.
"I... I see.." he said after a period of silence, "You and..."
There was a different sort of confusion here as he tried to figure out why he felt like he had just been shot right now. A quick glance down at himself proved there was no blood. Unable to really put his thoughts together in any sort of coherent way at the moment, he just slowly turned away from Mitsu. That initial shocked and confused expression had melded down to something different.
"I'll .. just leave you to that then..." he uttered softly while he started back to the boy's dormitory.

"S..Shun?" Mitsu's face shifted to concern seeing her friend so upset. "Shun, what's wrong?" She asked softly as he turned his back to her and started to head off. Following behind him she reached out for his hand to try and regain his attention. "Please tell me what's bothering you....Don't just walk away." She pleaded. "I promise we'll hang out tomorrow."

Pausing as he felt her hand, Shun glanced back for the moment.
"That's not..." he started, though his words trailed off. He didn't know what the hell was wrong with him aside from feeling like he had just been wounded badly. The flurry of emotions of anger, sorrow.. and... envy, mixed in with heavy confusion rendered him speechless for the time being.
"I don't.. J-just forget about it.." he finally managed to say while shaking his head.

"But Shun..." Mitsu didn't know what to say. It was obvious he was upset but about what? If it wasn't because of the hanging out issue then....was it because she was with Desmond? By this point Mitsu had determined Shun was just overly affection and not meaning since he had expressed his inability to be in a relationship. Had that been wrong though?
"I don't like seeing you upset," Mitsu gave his hand a light squeeze. "You're my best friend, you've stuck with me through all of my troubles....why won't you talk to me?"

Shun was trying to figure out why he felt this way. It wasn't easy, especially since he hadn't really felt anything like this before. For awhile he was silent, as he was trying to piece together his thoughts. He dug down to the root and tried to work his way from there. Slowly, things were making more sense as he chipped away at it, but he really wasn't so sure about the answer everything pointed towards. He didn't think it was possible.
"I don't know..." he said, nearly inaudible, "I.. don't think saying anything is going to help..."
For a moment, it seemed like his hand started to go towards his chest, but he stopped it and let it drop again.

Mitsu frowned a bit, letting Shun's hand slip from hers. She was feeling a little shut out and hopeless. What could she really do for him? "W...we can still hang out tomorrow? We can do something you like, my treat, okay?" It was all she could think of to do. Maybe if they got together tomorrow he would have gathered his thoughts enough to tell her what was wrong.

At the offer, he felt incredibly conflicted. Shun slowly shook his head. The more he thought about things, the worse he felt as things became more clear at the same time.
"..Maybe it's best if we don't talk anymore..." he uttered before quickly shaking his head again, "No.. I .. don't mean that..."
Bringing a hand up to his head, he felt a headache coming on.
"Mitsu I..."
He didn't even know what he was trying to say here.
