Oliver sighed heavily as he sat in the lobby area of his dorms. Lately he'd been staying at the WDA more and more but suddenly it just didn't feel like home anymore. Jameson had kept such a big secret from him.. He was sure that Jameson had good intentions but it just seemed so.. wrong. Worse yet he was uncomfortable there. Everything that was going on was partly his fault..

The reason the others could no longer enjoy the WDA... it was his fault.. He sighed heavily as he rubbed his hair. "what a troublesome situation.." He said calmly as he looked to the ceiling. What would happen from now on..?

He rose up, he was wearing a loose fitting unbuttoned vest over an over-sized t-shirt that hung just to his finger tips. He had on pressed and smoothed slacks of the same dark blue of his shirt. He also had on a blue muffler. All-in-all it was his typical loose-fitting clothes style that gave him a lot of room to move around in and emphasized comfort over fit. Not that it mattered, he really wasn't trying to impress anyone with his physique.

He was mostly moping in an uncharacteristic fashion..

"Ugh... That doesn't make me feel better..."

I've looked through your brain. Doesn't seem to be wrong anywhere...

"Mhm... leave it for now... maybe it's actually because of you,"

Seth had just came out of his dormitory room after blowing the entire content of his guts into the sink. He had just woken up from a terrible dream and was feeling quite sickly of the scene he witnessed. It wasn't normal, but he had been having the same dream over and over again for these last few days. There was this one time when he actually-

... No. Better not say anything about it.

In an attempt to clear his head he decided to take a little night stroll. Apart from the nightmare, he needed some time alone to think about last night. It had all been too sudden. One minute he was laughing away with Jameson and Oliver and Aki and Crow (Chetri not included), next moment he was (not literally) kicked out from the office, completely barred from entering the premises for any reason whatsoever. It hurt his heart when he thought of the possibility that he could never see any of them again.

But... being the optimistic guy he is... he couldn't help but look at it this way. Jameson said that the WDA will only be closed temporarily. So... it's bound to come back.

...right...?

He couldn't help it. He needed some time out. Putting on the trench coat he got from Oliver (he felt a slight twinge of sadness the moment when he saw it) he made his way down the stairs of the dormitory. It was quiet. Everyone else was fast asleep. He doubted he would find anyone at this time of the nig-

"Oliver?"


What a surprise. He found Oliver sitting alone at the dormitory lobby.

"Oh..." Oliver blinked and stared at Seth. "uh.. hey."

Honestly he had no idea Seth lived in Yuki. Oliver RARELY ever used his dormitories and when he did it was just to crash then hop back out, especially since Seth had been here. As such he was completely unaware that Seth lived here which was... awkward. One of the last people he wanted to see at the moment.

He sighed flopping backwards laying on the couch. "Don't mind me.. just uh..." He stopped, wondering exactly what it was he WAS doing down here? He couldn't say 'moping'. Firstly because it was uncool and secondly because it would make him worry unnecessarily. As if he hadn't caused the boy ENOUGH trouble with the events so far.. If he pushed it any further than this he'd have to put himself down for crimes against being a cool badass.

Such crimes were punishable by spending extra time around dorks. And Jameson was dork enough for a lifetime. He glanced over to Seth. "I was just catching up on my homework.." He said, trying to play it off. Cool people did their homework in public right? Right. So cool.

Incredibly cool.

"Homework?" Seth glanced about around Oliver, looking for any indication that he was indeed doing his homework. "I don't see any books..."

Bah. Of course there's no book. Because he wasn't actually doing any homework. Not to mention, cool people don't do homework in public (right?). Cool people sit around alone in the dark, contemplating deeply on whatever that troubles them and tries hard to figure out ways to overcome it (right?). And as for now, Seth couldn't think of any other reason for Oliver to be sitting around in the dark.

"You're thinking about last night, weren't you?" Seth asked with a tone of deep concern. For once, his voice wasn't childish or full of innocence. This time it was full of maturity, with experience, the kind he always use for his sister whenever she gets into trouble. He sighed and walked over to Oliver, sitting next to him on the bench.

"Let it all out. I'm all ears," He offered his attention to Oliver, not looking at him. But instead, he looked straight ahead, leaning forward with his fingers interlaced and his elbows resting on his knees.

Oliver shot Seth a grin. What a doofus. He really wasn't in any way a cool guy. Cool guys quietly offered a solitary line of encouragement then went on. But there were times when what you needed was a dork. Perhaps this is one of those times..

"I'm thinking about what's best.. For Jameson and the WDA..." He said idly as he leaned back on the couch staring up at the room. "Part of me.. the old secret agent part thinks Jameson is right.. but part of me is worried... I think Jameson's gonna try to raid the Johnson Eight solo.."

"He's the type to carry all the burden on his own back... I don't want to involve anyone else but he might.. WE might need you guys..." He sighed heavily. "But at the same time I don't want you all to die.. It's selfish to involve you but stupid to try it on our own.. I just dunno what to do.."

Well, sooorry if I'm not cool.

That is what he would say if he could read Oliver's mind. Thing is, he can't.

Well, not that it mattered much. He sighed, then said, "I met someone before. He's way younger than you. A kid, boisterous, noisy and generally annoying. He loves and lives to fight. Even if it kills him. He would rush in blindly without a care of what the consequences are. Even at the cost of his own life. He doesn't enjoy fighting for others. He just... he just liked to fight. He will save his friends if they're in danger, but he won't like it. He just do what he wants to do. And..."

Seth himself leaned back on the bench, folding his arm and looking at Hyakuji's main building through the window. "I dunno... It's just... not like him at all if he doesn't put others on danger. And I can't be happy about that. Not to brag or anything, but I nearly lost my life twice when going in a fight with him. And I still stick with him. Besides, I think he keeps taking me with him because he believes I won't die. No matter how strong the enemy is. But..." Seth scratched his head a little, before folding his arms again, "I think I know how Jameson feels. He doesn't want others to suffer,"

Well, that's not helping much. They're back to square one. Heck, did they even leave square one?

"Well, if you tell me to choose between being selfish or stupid, I'd take being selfish. If being stupid leads to a definite loss, then at least when I'm selfish there's still a chance for everyone to survive. Don't humans like to take chances?"

"H-hey! Shut it!"

"Heh.. sounds like a troublesome kid.." Oliver said, immediately noting the similarities to Jameson himself when he was a bit younger. A lot more brash.. Lately Jameson had acted a lot different. Perhaps it was the responsibility he had to others or maybe it was just a natural by-product of his growing up but Jameson wasn't like that anymore.. and it was a good thing..

Oliver rose up in his chair. Jameson was making the right choice.. It WAS wrong to involve the WDA... No good could come out of them getting into harms way. It would be reckless and stupid.. Even if the alternative was risking his own life he still couldn't forgive himself for getting people whom weren't involved into this mess..

"It's not between being selfish or stupid.. It's between being selfish and taking you guys.. or throwing ourselves in over our heads... It's between selfish and selfless.." He smiled towards Seth. "I pick Selfless.."

First you call it stupid and now you call it selfless? Sheesh. "Then I guess that makes you stupid, huh?" Seth commented, chuckling slightly over Oliver's decision. Truthfully, he can't call anyone who makes that decision stupid. Mainly because it's admitting that he's stupid too. Well, he is. A bit. But...

"Well, it's your fight anyway, so you can do what you want," He said, still sitting on the bench and was not in any mood to stand up anytime soon. "But just remember, I'm still alive. You and Jameson probably could handle them if you guys decided to go against them with just the two of you. But if things ever get out of hand," He unfolded his arms, pointing his thumb to his chest, "Just give me a holler, and I'll come straight to help. Not because you're in trouble or because it's my responsibility, because Jameson would go nuts if he thinks I died for him because I'm in the WDA. Nah, I'll help because I want to. Because it's my decision," He flashed his usual big grin, the one he hadn't got the chance to use a lot lately, "Because you guys are my friends,"

Grooooaaaaaaan~

Urhm. What was that?

"Uh..."

Oh. Right. After blowing his entire guts out into the sink, his stomach is pretty much empty. And like an alarm clock or something, his stomach growled really loudly, signaling him to fill up his fuel tank. Almost on cue, he eyed Oliver expectantly.

"..."

and there it was.. The simple wisdom of an uncool idiot... That was what he needed to hear all along. The same choice he'd been given.. The same choice Jameson made.. And now Seth.... It was the right way to approach things. Whether Seth knew it or not he'd just inspired Oliver to a great degree.

He exhaled rubbing his fingers through his hair. "Tch, ya mooching bastard!" He said turning. "c'mon then!" He said before leading the way towards a dinner. Although he wouldn't say it or ever even admit to having THOUGHT it, he owed Seth... And so just one more time he'd treat the boy.

BUT THIS WAS THE LAST TIME.

SERIOUSLY!!!

[End~]
