-I already had vitamins AND breakfast thanks

-I'll send you a copy of my schedule

-WHO APPROVED THIS BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT

[soulburns]

[he sends a selfie back

he's already wearing the shirt]

YOU'LL KILL IT OUT THERE

[doublesmall]

shouldn't you be wearing one of minato's, come on

[HE IS DYING]

[soulburns]

oh for him i made my own

[OF COURSE HE DID]

im supporting you until then!!!

you feeling okay today? need help stretching? i can give you a check up before my shift starts!

[doublesmall]

i'm fine, jeez, i've only done this a million times

[a minute later, though-]

but go ahead and come by if you want

[soulburns]

yea yea but it's the BIG ONE!!!
the TOURNAMENT OF TOURNAMENTS
the COMPETITION OF A LIFETIME!!!!!

omw!!! room #?

[doublesmall]

sometimes i think you're more excited for this than the rest of us, you know?

room 29

[soulburns]

you can't be thinking that!!
you gotta win for the both of us, you know??
if i'm not competing for saiside, then you gotta bring everything home!!

[and it's maybe with that thought in mind that he'll knock on chuuya's hotel door - and even when he's opening it, galo's rolling his shoulder like it'll manage to get rid of the injury that took him out of the competition years ago

.... welp!

just gotta move on now]

Hey champ!

[doublesmall]

[ah. yeah, he gets it-- so he fires off one more quick text while galo is on the way.]

with your support, there's no way i can't be fired up when the time comes, yeah? i'll go twice as hard.

[these things are way easier to type than to say, god. he figures it's best not to talk about it in person anyway, so he says nothing about it when galo arrives, though his gaze flicks briefly to that roll of his shoulder.]

Hey yourself. Have they been running you ragged yet, or is everybody behaving before the big competition?

[soulburns]

[well - the text manages to get him to grin down at his phone, chest a little warmer and reassured from the message. congrats chuuya! you made galo happy, and he's got the kind of smile that makes flowers bloom, so that's a good thing.]

They're on their best behavior - but it means that they'll go even harder when they're out there, I bet! I'll be busy when everything gets started...

Lucky for you I'll give you the family and friends special before everything starts!

[doublesmall]

Probably for the best that they're all being careful.

[except apparently one's getting hit by a car what the fuck is happening in the log

but chuuya gestures for galo to come on over to where he's settled in-- looks like he's been busy doing absolutely nothing. max chill, because he knows he has to rest too...]

But you're right-- don't know what I'd do without you, y'know?

[soulburns]

[haha yea that's future galo's problem

but he's just snorting faintly even as he brings in his bag of supplies!! it's not quite as intensive as an actual checkup would be, but he's still got everything he needs for a typical visit]

'course I know! [HE'S NICE BUT HE'S ALSO COCKY and he just gives a wink] But good thing you'll never have to find out either.

Have a seat - we'll check the basics first.

[BLOOD PRESSURE, ETC ETC he's pulling the tools out of his bag]

[doublesmall]

I know the drill...

[but he obliges easily, clearly not actually getting huffy with him. chuuya sits back down, offering out his arm and allowing galo to do basically whatever-- he trusts him and he knows this routine, it's fine.]

[soulburns]

[it is fine! galo's at least gotten plenty practiced at this - for someone who didn't give a fuck about his studies before, he sure did change his tune when he got into a career where it was focused on helping people.

but chuuya is probably perfectly healthy smh. he grins when he confirms this, even as he pulls out the stethoscope to check his heart next]

So you're really not nervous at all?

[doublesmall]

No point in being nervous. I know I'm good, I know I've trained for it... nothing left but to get out there and go hard, right?

[...he'll be a little nervous later, but he's not going to admit it.]

[soulburns]

Hell yeah!! Ball's to the wall!

[galo is a fucking doctor and yet he still talks like a frat star

anyway he'll check chuuya's heartbeat]

So if you get anything less than gold, I'll have to start charging you, ya know?

[doublesmall]

[this is why chuuya likes him better than any other doctor, though? galo is his favorite in part BECAUSE he's still like this, chuuya's fond, sue him.]

Oi, come on, if I get less than gold you're supposed to be nice to me for at least a little bit!

Good thing we won't have to find out, but how harsh...

[soulburns]

Is that in my contract?

[chuuya needs to get some fucking taste!! given the fact that galo is also perfectly comfortable, given that he sees chuuya as a friend first and a client second, and he'll lean in to give a friendly knock of their foreheads together - gentle though, so it's more like a tap than an actual headbutt]

But it's like you said - you've been practicing, and you know what you're good at. So don't sweat the details! If you're not nervous, then neither am I.

And if you get nervous, I'll eat all your nerves from the stands!!
