[When you've grown used to something all your life, any kind of discrepancy becomes blatantly obvious. Ryousuke knows exactly how far his arms can reach when diving for a ball. He also is well aware he usually has to crane his neck upwards to speak to most of his peers. And of course, he knows the radius of his karate chopping strike zone off by heart. Ryousuke stands up, and he instantly realises his centre of gravity has shifted upward, that his line of sight has changed, and- his clothes are uncommonly tight?
It takes less steps than normal to cross the room and look down at Sugane still seated on the floor. His expression is terribly smug.]
The fact Holly Heights is an unpredictable mine field.
[Truth to be told, even he was aware that his argument was much more weaker than usual. The thing was however, there were a lot of things he had lost at this point, he really couldn't care much of the sudden height but he'd rather live a day without another strike to his ego.
Except, what with his pants being so loose and pooling his legs...]
Look can I just...
[Borrowing pants with an incredibly smug Ryousuke seems like a challenging task.]
[For someone who just woke up 18 inches taller and by all means should be disorientated as hell, Ryousuke sure looks pretty comfortable. He's quick to adapt, and with this particular surprise, there's nothing to complain about.
Following his gaze downward, Ryousuke catches onto the problem. His tone is light and pleasant as he prompts Sugane further.]
[If he could shrink any further and avoid Ryousuke's gaze, that would be great. Instead Sugane just stare on the floor and hope things will be over soon enough.
[Amazingly, in the end, Sugane was still a teenager and the implications didn't fly over his head. He tries to hide away his blush, instead he just looks worse as he grit his teeth and his voice uneven;]
Yes, I need to... borrow. Your. Pants.
[It's morning and today's mood has already been decided.]
[Ryousuke tugs on the waistband of his pyjama bottoms. It was fortunate they were loose and stretchy, but he'd grown so much they were no longer anywhere near the ankle-length they were supposed to be.]
[Finally complying, Ryousuke begins rummaging through their shared closet, picking out a pair. He holds the pants out, as if checking the size and length... he's holding them way out of Sugane's reach.]
[This was still way to early in the morning to incoherently yell in frustration.]
Those will be fine. Thank. You.
[In all fairness he should return the favor and lend Ryousuke his own pair of pants, but right now he has yet reach satisfying levels of glaring at him.]
[No, Sugane, no. The moment you start thinking 'not as terrible as you could have been' equals 'nice' is the beginning of your downfall.
He looks down at his state of dress, noting where the hem stopped. There was a huge gap between where his shirt ended and his pants began.]
How kind of you to offer. [Did he wear anything other than a button up though? Otherwise Ryo had been planning on raiding Kuramochi's closet instead for one of his graphic print tees.]
Make sure to wash it properly when you're done. If you do anything weird in it, I'll know.
[He's smiling in that way that could be taken as either amused or cruel, and if one were to be honest, there was a fine line between the two sometimes. That last remark probably wasn't meant for his ears, but Ryousuke makes sure Sugane knows it was heard loud and clear.]
[Comparatively, Sugane was probably the more expressive one. When he was embarrassed, mad, or frustrated, (... the three emotions Ryo was most familiar with when it came to Sugane) it was pretty easy to tell. But that flinch wasn't something he saw all that often. It seemed they had yet to fully see eye-to-eye.]
Going out somewhere? [there's a note of interest, but also plenty of room to dodge it too.] Well, do as you like.
I'll notify you if I go out later than I anticipated.
[Meaning he might heavily consider venting his feelings on a pair of scissors and colorful paper until the sky goes dark. Sugane isn't surprise if Ryousuke had been cataloging his quirks to tease him further, but Ryousuke using Sugane's clear lack of understanding of what's 'normal' is the last thing he needs right now.]

It's fine, you can ask.

Y... you know exactly what I want to ask.

You need help reaching something on the top shelf?

Not currently no, but there are other things you can help me with.

A problem in your pants?

These?

Be more specific next time.
[Finally complying, Ryousuke begins rummaging through their shared closet, picking out a pair. He holds the pants out, as if checking the size and length... he's holding them way out of Sugane's reach.]
How about these?

no subject
Should I leave these on the floor then? You seem attached.
[It'd be simple to retrieve the clothes if he stood up and reached a little.]
no subject
.... Just leave them on the bed, I'll be up in a minute.

Here you go.

[He expected another round of tricks and mind games, that's surprisingly nice of him.]
You're free to borrow mine as well, though it's now probably somewhat shorter for you now.

Eventually, with reluctance he got up and grabbed the folded pants, a bit too forceful than usual.]
I'll keep that in mind.
[Far too annoyed, he doesn't realize he murmured the following aloud;]
What are you implying about weird, anyways...
no subject
You tell me, you're the weird one.
no subject
Admittedly though, that one had personally cut deeper than any of the others.]
... I'll be home a bit later tonight.

[Ryo moves over to leave the room, but right before, glances over his shoulder to smile mischievously.]
Bathroom's mine. [And closes the door to their shared bathroom behind him, getting a head start on their usual morning routine.]
