Can't you taste this gold? (backdated)

[detectiveofthewest]

Some time after the swordfight with Hershel, Heiji returned to the scene of the crime the lounge, shinai propped up against one shoulder. The room was in complete disarray, and while he hadn't actually meant for that to happen, well... it was partially his fault anyway.

And he did feel a little bad for ripping up one of Snake's only magazines. So he started putting a few things back where they belonged, starting with the various videos of horrible experiments. Stanford Prison Experiments, those obviously went under 'S', and -- hm? One of the videos was unmarked. Out of curiosity, he hauled the TV back upright and turned the movie on.

Five minutes and a few bad decisions later, Heiji was alternately lip-synching and bobbing around to something that sounded an awful lot like this in between his practice swings.

"I'm so fancy~
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo..."

...He might also have been singing along to the chorus.

Hershel couldn't help a small laugh. "Ah, honestly I don't think I know much about sports, let alone 'soccer' or pitches or the like" Football, duh, British.

"Did you make that up on your own, Heiji? I guess I wouldn't be surprised, you seem like a sports fan."

"Y'know, I ain't sure. Just kind of been thinking about it since I saw that soccer ball at the store." He shrugged.

"You know how puzzles are, they float around everywhere. Kinda surprised you don't know more about soccer, though. I thought football was pretty popular in the UK!" And Hershel was a fencing fan, though of course fencing and soccer didn't have much in common.

"I wonder who that's for, all of the items seem pointedly for someone." They'll never know it was for Kariya, that's depressing.

"I suppose it is... it's a little strange, finding out what you like this way. I think it's safe to say I didn't play a lot of football." His hair is too distracting for the players, he'd be kicked off. He blinked then, realizing something with a sheepish smile. "Ah, here you are getting ready to go to bed and I rambled on about puzzles... I'm dreadfully sorry about that, thank you for humoring me."

"It was probably for Kariya, right? He mentioned he used to play." HEIJI KNEW, so that was a, uh. Thing. Oops, depressing again.

Heiji laughed. "No problem. See ya in the morning, Hershel!"

"Oh..." Depressing. Poor Kariya. He tried not to let his mood dampen too obviously before smiling and nodding to Heiji.

"Sleep well, Heiji." Surely no one would do weird stabbings and then a girl would get murdered, that won't happen. He headed out, unaware they'd see each other again in a bit when Heiji was taking care of Snake. Circle of life.
