[ He chuckles lightly, waving a hand. ] Of course not, I'm a man of my word. But more importantly... I just wanted to make sure when exactly you wanted me [ gross, but it comes out without hesitation ] since I wasn't very specific on what day.

[ So he's basically saying that she could literally hold onto this and decide a month from now that yes NOW is when she wants the boyfriend experience. ]

When... I was hoping for a holiday, actually! That's okay, right? I don't want to be stuck at school and not be able to see you for most of the day...

[ A Sunday would work, maybe... but an actual holiday would be even better, because those are the days you want to have somebody to be with, to make a special day even more special, to take advantage of couples discounts, and to not feel so alone when the rest of the world shoves it in your face that there's something wrong with you if you are. ]

...you really won't back out, right? I cleaned out all my merit points at that auction, so if you just take 'em and ditch, I'm gonna have to come after you.

[Who the hell is this.

That's the very blunt thought that crosses Hinata's mind, but he doesn't say it, because. Well, if this kid's right, he isn't about to wake Nene up.

But he is also very, very tired and very, very irritated, so the only thing he really wants to do is make sure Nene is okay with his own two eyes and then finally go to sleep.]

I just want to check on her. A lot of weird things happened at the school today. More importantly, who are you? [He does his utmost to channel the patience he would use if Nene was awake. Although he'd feel less frustrated then, but-] I've never seen you in here before.

[He's trying, he's really trying, but his hackles feel so raised.]

Of course no one can take that away from me!

[That is said with a bit of fire in it - he's already declared what he is, the truth of himself regardless of stories or the world forcing him into a role.

But the fire is paused when he asks that, because - how much does that man know? What is the answer he's looking for?

...

Perhaps, he should try - a little of the truth.]

To help guide those I can, and offer different perspectives to those whose youth may blind them to other options.

[It's what he promised to do at Ritsuka's side - but he has no idea if that is what the man in front of him wished to hear or not. He fixes him with a stare - a bit questioning, a bit resolute.]

...Unless, of course, there is something else I am forgetting.

[ Imagine if mirrors were a limited resource in shadow Yogen and once you punch out all the mirrors, that's it, bring your own or you're doomed. But he'll be able to find one and escape and find himself right back in front of the rules in the locker area, Maya next to him all /: at him for letting his side drop, pulling her cut hand back and reaching into her pocket for a handkerchief to stem the blood until she can get it washed. ]

Forgive me, a bug like myself can't even do a small task like carry something, I really am worthless.

( he pauses, reading the expression on maya's face, but as he glances down at where he stands, he lifts his head at the where the school rules should be. thoughtful, he ignores that and focuses on her finger first, he doesn't move yet because he's watching to see if she finds a handkerchief. now... his next move is decided on whether she finds one or if she's about to have another dribble hit the floor...

what's the verdict...

it's important... )

You don't seem to recall everything fully, as of yet. But don't concern yourself too much about that. To remember every second of every day of one's life would be too taxing for the brain— the mind is a remarkable filter, however, and keeps what it believes is important. Even if you do not remember.

[ So much of one's being is unconscious, after all, with day to day experiences building up the whole, piece by piece by piece.

He leans forward a little, regarding Moriarty quietly for a moment. ]

I am here for you. Do you understand?

[ Lily May will pee in front of Rokkun's locker the next day, just for Komaeda. Also yeah... it's 1999, the world isn't fancy enough yet for emojis. ]

No, I seriously do have work.

[ It's too bad. He's like to hang around after school with Komaeda and co, but unfortunately, duty calls. ]

Did you want to come with me? I think we might have an extra bat.

[ It wasn't over but now it is!! There's nobody here to meet, and Komaeda doesn't count. She would place her foot on the edge of the chair and tip it over, but that wouldn't get him out of the room at large. ]

...Annoying.

[ But she turns to the chalkboard and stares at it anyways, because she is unfortunately indulgent. It's wiped clean, aside from the corner that lists the next meeting date- the following Monday or Friday. ]

We were discussing potential sites for our class trip later in the year, and when it might be warm enough to open the pool again. The meeting adjourned without coming to a consensus.

[ Lily May eats the hope meat.

She laps up every last bit, she licks her bowl clean, she licks at her paws after her meal is done and if Komaeda is sitting nearby she will go to him and lick his fingers again too, entire body vibrating with a thousand decibel purr ]

The very first time we met?

[ she leaves the faucet running, her hands half out of the basin and dripping all over the floor as she turns and stares at him. ]

You remember way back then?

[ She hates that it's Komaeda saying it but it still makes her happy... Izumi learning about her... Izumi wanting to know her... Izumi wanting her..... ]

Do you think so? What has he learned? What does he want to know about?!

( what did he do to ignite her wrath? bro... there's something komaeda doesn't know, but he'll love it actually. please do pee. also does this mean they at least have snake on their pda... i remember having a tracphone with snake. )

"We"? ...Who does that all entail?

( he'll only go if lily may can come, and komaeda's already putting his pda back into his pocket so that it's out the way.

also he is not playing sports, he is NOT dealing with it! )

( so he should come every monday and friday, that makes sense. he doesn't really have an idea what their meetings are about, but he'll make sure to attend. he doesn't say that aloud though, but the way he looks at the weekdays, and then how he turns back to look at maya should be more than enough to show his interest. )

What are their options?

( "their," he says it like it doesn't involve him, and it probably doesn't. that's only because he's the type who pulls away from that sort of gathering, besides... trash like him wouldn't fit in a place where everyone is trying to enjoy themselves. the last thing he'd want to do is ruin the mood. )

We've been having bad storms, so it'd be awhile until the pool opens up.

( he heard a storm for one night, and he thinks there's a storm every time. smh. )

( she's so filled to the brim with human meat that she's literally going to devour komaeda alive one day, huh... that said, he allows her fingers to be licked of whatever residue is left on them so she's satisfied. )

...Hey.

( now he's ready to make conversation, a little interested as she purrs and vibrates without ever pausing. he even boops her nose with a finger, tapping softly while watching her. )

What are you going to do when I die... I wonder...

( okay, so, yeah, she knows there's a soccer club in school, and realistically seeing a ball roll towards her shouldn't be that surprising, but... she still reacts instinctively.

so, here's rika, with all of her newfound athleticism, kicking that ball right back where it came from, and hearing a loud impact when it hits someone directly in the face. )

... oops. ( FUCK. HOPEFULLY THERE'S NO BLOOD? but she still runs towards the poor victim, flailing all the while. ) You okay?! I didn't mean to — !

( he was talking about in the art room, but the fact that she brings up their meeting dates back before that is a little... worrisome. there's a problem about it, though, he's unable to actually comment and instead, he looks at her with a sullen expression as if he remembers without explaining. )

...

( is he trying to see if she'll spill the beans herself? or is he concerned that his friendship with her actually has a starting point... )

Why wouldn't he want to know?

( everything about them is shrouded in mystery, and even when they try to remember there's nothing there to point them in the right direction. all they know is to open their eyes, or to go along with what they say to avoid any possible unfortunate incidents. sadly, they're all not the type to let things like that go. )

...If you allowed him to know anything about you and him, I'm sure he'd be amazed by the details.

( it doesn't have to be anything big either, but i think it'd put a lot of things into perspective for him. even komaeda's not trying to pry in their relationship to ask for the specifics, instead he's trying to open that avenue for izumi instead. )

[ She answers that by rubbing against his leg, meowing sweetly, and nibbling on the tips of his fingers. ]

( god, that means she's going to eat him i'm tearing up. )

That's fine, as long as you get rid of all the evidence.

( why is he signing his death up with the cat, well, anyone would do this for someone as cute as lily may. now he's going to rub up from her nose to her forehead in little scritches. )

[ There is blood... She gets to know that immediately with the way the world tilts off its axis just enough to be dizzying, but the vertigo passes and doesn't become anything more, what with Rokkun sitting up on the ground and clutching his face, blood dripping from his nose but stemmed with his hands and getting on the front of his shirt instead.

He stares up at Rika, somewhat dazed, like he can't decide whether to nod despite it being a blatant lie, but also thinking that if he nods his head at all, the motion will just make the bleeding worse. ]

No, you're okay. Sorry, this is gross...

[ He pulls the collar of his shirt up over his nose to soak up some of that blood. If only he had his jacket... if only Komaeda didn't take his jacket and throw out the tissues, he could've used them, bro ]

[ He taps the wooden spoon against his chin, leaving a little dab of sauce there as he thinks. Ultimately... ]

Yeah. The change in leadership, especially, but any change in the status quo is exciting.

[ Senioritis really does a number, sometimes, but at the very least, with the way things are, school life won't be so boring, and that's a little kernel of hope in itself. ]

I'm kinda... looking forward to this year, actually. It's supposed to be my last one, after all.

( oh. oh god. she recognizes this feeling; the world spins, for a moment, and she sways on her feet, on the way to check the boy's nose. just like that, she braces herself for a possible trip back to Void School, but... nothing seems to change, the dizziness aside. the students are still students, admittedly now a little bit alarmed and avoiding rokkun, because he's kind of.

uh.

bleeding profusely. )

Nah, it's fine, blood doesn't squick me out. Lemme see... ( she crouches in front of him, peering at his nose, one hand tilting his head up to help contain the bleeding a little. ) Uh, do you wanna go to the nurse's office? I can help hold you up. ( here, she'll give him Her jacket. it's small, but it's reddish, so the blood won't be that visible... )

( why is he gross, i'm going to cry. okay, at least komaeda will reach out to wipe it away with his thumb, and then brush it against rokkun's lips so he can lap it away. )

Ah... You're right, this is your last year.

( does he sound sad? for once? oh, no, it's just a moment until he perks back up, and seems excited unlike he was before. )

You can finally be free of someone pitiful like me... ( okay, you know, the rice is going in the pot now... got to eat it the old fashioned american way because komaeda isn't looking for a rice cooker. ) "Supposed"? Are you going to fail, or will your eyes close by the end of this?

[ Hiro startles when Komaeda touches his shoulder, hand jolting away from the bag of candy he was clearly going for and accidentally pressing the button next to it instead.

ker-chunk!

The vending machine dispenses a glass jar. Inside the glass jar is a horned beetle. It buzzes. ]
