It felt nice to be outside. During the colder parts of winter it was nearly impossible to steal some time outside, even if the icy air had burned his lungs and made his cough a little worse. The freedom of the action calmed him, helped him feel a little less like he was slowly going mad.
It was easy to get Kondou to cave and let him move outside when the weather turned warm, and for that Souji would be grateful forever (on top of everything else he was grateful for from the man). But having been confined mostly indoors for the winter except on afternoon patrols, the warmth was quickly making him feel sleepy. He wanted to stretch out in the sun and nap the afternoon away.
He sent the kids on their way and popped a few of the konpeitÅ he'd snagged off of them into his mouth, sucking slowly to make it last as he made his way back. It helped calm his lungs and keep from coughing, though it was only a nice side-effect that he used as a good excuse to get more of them.
As he slowly slid his door open, he paused in the threshold at the sight of Chizuru. He could, of course, call out. Make some kind of snarky comment and tease her, but there was something endearing about realizing Chizuru was cleaning his room. Something...domestic that made his heart throb. So he positioned himself to lean against the side of the doorway and block Chizuru in, one hand on his hip, and the corner of his mouth curved in a smirk.
