This drabble is an ode to Kaiju No.8 B-Side, and the fact that not knowing about it often leads to a bit of a mischaracterisation of Narumi: the slacker prodigy persona is something of an act! Seriously, go read B-Side! It’s awesome! Narumi is amazing in it! - It’s half past two in the morning. Narumi puts the barbell back on the rack and chugs down what’s left in his water bottle. Sweat is dripping from his brow as he wipes his mouth with the back of his wrist. His hands shake a little from exertion, which is always a good sign. The gym is deafeningly quiet when he drops to the ground to do a round of post-workout stretches. Everyone except for on-duty guards is dead asleep, which suits Narumi just fine; there’s no risk he’s gonna get exposed during his illicit late-night affairs. He stretches slowly and methodically, paying equal attention to each muscle group. He can’t risk an avoidable injury, and he went hard tonight. He always goes hard.
