He's careful to remove the tape without ripping the paper, folding the sticky side back against the other side of the page and... he doesn't have anywhere to put it, so he sets it on the ground between them so nobody walks by and accidentally steps on it.
He looks over to Natsume to see if his bento is a matching one. ]
no subject
And of course it is! I went on a search to find out if Switch was part of the Sanrio collab but no they came too late for that, so I've decided Natsume gets a Chococat one. His is bereft of anything too sweet though, since he's not a fan. )
no subject
But good... cute... Hiro doesn't want to look ungrateful for the bento he received, dipping his head and mouthing his thanks to Natsume but also... he keeps eyeing that little fish.

I'll trade you IT. Make your ofFER, Hiro-kun.
( Friends trade food, right? Right. He's pretty sure he's seen his classmates doing that. )
no subject
no subject
So I assume you didn't eat any of the veggies from the picnic your sister brought food home FROM. ( Just A Guess. ) Did you like anything else from IT?
no subject
He steals Natsume's sausages. He had liked these too. ]
no subject
He's making mental notes, and in trade for the sausages, he takes one of the boiled eggs. Fair is fair. Still, eating together to build friendship points wasn't... No, it was the only thing he wanted to do before, but... )
...Has Stephanie-chan told you YET? ( Idly, moving his stars around. ) About what happened last MONTH.
no subject
no subject
I won't complain — you know how hard it is, after ALL. ( Natsume glances aside, lips pressed together, and yet. And yet!! ) Did you feel as if everyone treated you unfairLY? For... doing what you DID.
no subject
But the difference is between Komaeda and himself, the fact that Hiro feels wretched about what he did but in terms of fairness... He shakes his head. Taps a finger to his chest and makes a fist in front of it. It hurts. But it wasn't unfair, he got what he deserved. ]
no subject
You're more mature than ME. ( He chuckles slightly, then eats his stars one by one, until they're gone. ) I can't help but feel like it's not FAIR, even though I also know they're perfectly within their rights to hate or mistrust ME. Gaining the trust of most people is something that comes easily to me thanks to my occupaTION, so I've rarely ever had to deal with what to do if I lose it before I'm ready to let it GO.
no subject
He pats Natsume on the elbow. Hang in there... ]
no subject
...SorRY, I shouldn't dump all of this on you anyWAY, going through it too or NOT. ( ... ) I did visit the counselor THOUGH. He's...
( ......................... )
Extremely OLD. He reminds me of my mommy a litTLE... She's also good-looking for her AGE.
no subject
Anyways.
He raises a hand and makes that talking gesture with it, what did they talk about? did Natsume cry ]
no subject
wait hold on. )
I'll tell you about mine if you tell me about YOURS. It's only fair, isn't IT? And we're best friends beSIDES.
( friendship upgrade )
no subject
there's a little flutter in his chest at the thought, but it's hard to pin the feeling
But Natsume says they're best friends, so!! he nods. Because it'll be like Natsume telling him things and Hiro pantomiming back ]
no subject
I didn't CRY. ( There's always time for that though, points eyes at ori ) We mostly talked about how I felt with regards to my treatment after the FACT... That's why I asked you about if you felt yours was unFAIR.
( ... )
I almost DIED. ( Natsume picks at his food, eyebrows pressed together. ) Not in my session with Arata-sensei, but when the truth came out at the end of last MONTH... but a certain absolute idiot took the hit for ME. I don't like owing people THINGS, but I owe him my LIFE. I'm sure he wouldn't think of it that way THOUGH, and I know the person who attempted to kill ME...
( pause. ah, well. )
I don't know, actualLY. I'd like to think she would've regretted IT, but she's been quite cruel to me since THEN, so maybe she regrets not pushing her sword a little further to catch me TOO. ( Nothing ruins an appetite like thinking about the world of difference between their relationship at the beginning of the week and the end of it. ) But that's not imporTANT. Arata-sensei and I also talked about the types of students at this SCHOOL, if there were any classes that didn't suffer in order to graduATE... You're not supposed to trade information with your counselor I suppose — you're supposed to work through your feelings or whatever — but it's not like I have that much to talk aBOUT.
( He has a lot, actually, but. )
He said he has hope for ME. ( He steals another of Hiro's boiled eggs, but he'll cut Chococat's face in half (rip) and give him some of the cat onigiri. ) I'm not sure given the context if I'm supposed to like that or NOT, but that's THAT.
( ...
okay, hiro's turn. )
no subject
He does sympathize, though, somewhat grateful that there hasn't been an attempt on his own life for what he did to Kouji, but perhaps people feared Maya more than they loved Kouji (I'm sorry Kouji). But Natsume has that sort of people too, it seems, people who would stand up for him and protect him... that's good to see. The counselor must have seen that too, Hiro thinks, if he had hope. That's a good thing, and he tries to convey that by making at attempt at a smile even though he has to look down at that point to check whether the cat onigiri is stuffed and if so then he's going to scoop out the innards and set it aside and eat the rice first.
...
It's still Natsume's turn, apparently. ]
no subject
...Also why is it still his turn, he's looking a little confused before he pokes Hiro's cheek with his chopsticks, hold on. )
All we did was TALK. He didn't torture me or anything like THAT.
( Natsume can be a good boy when he wants something, it's fine. )
no subject
He places a hand on his chest while shaking his head and then tilts it just slightly to one side, as if asking if Natsume really doesn't like the counselor. Stephanie didn't. ]
no subject
He's easy to talk TO, but that makes him dangerOUS. ( Even if that's kind of the counselor's job... to be easy to talk to.... you know. ) I don't like him nor do I dislike HIM, but we'll see if subsequent sessions make me feel differently one way or the oTHER.
no subject
no subject
That's not FAIR, Hiro-kun. You haven't told me anything YET.
no subject
Natsume can infer things from Hiro's lack of talking...
he pokes Natsume's back again... ]
