[adsum]

[ he's sensitive, don't lie to him!! best friends is such a sacred thing...

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. ]

[crystallomancy]

( There's (checks what you put in onigiri) tuna mayo, that's cat-themed.

...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. )

[adsum]

[ So he really didn't cry... is it only Hiro that cried...

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. ]

[crystallomancy]

( ...Hmmmmm. )

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.

[adsum]

[ Oh? Hiro reaches over and taps Natsume on the back. Was he invited back? Or is Natsume planning to shank somebody to get inside. ]

[crystallomancy]

( idk ori u tell me. but he is going to ensure he gets invited back one way or another. )

That's not FAIR, Hiro-kun. You haven't told me anything YET.

[adsum]

[ Depends on how their conversation goes... If Natsume decides to leave, the counselor will allow him to leave. If there's still unresolved issues but time runs out and it's 6pm, the counselor will invite him back the next day. Hiro had... a lot of unresolved issues... evidently because he never decided to end the sessions on his own accord and went for a solid month.

Natsume can infer things from Hiro's lack of talking...

he pokes Natsume's back again... ]

[crystallomancy]

...I'm going to go BACK.

( Whether this is because "he ran out of time so he gets an invite" or "he shanked someone," he's going to go back. Natsume pokes Hiro's cheek with his chopsticks, sighing. )

You spent a lot of time with him THOUGH. Do you like HIM?

[adsum]

[ He tilts his head away when he gets poked, lifting his eyes to meet Natsume's for a split second before dropping his gaze and shaking his head. He wouldn't go as far as to say he likes the counselor, even if he's grateful for certain things, but there's nothing on his face that suggests he dislikes or distrusts the counselor either.

Sometimes staff is staff. They're just doing their job. ]

[crystallomancy]

( His middle-of-the-road-until-he-isn't friend. )

I suppose that's norMAL. ( Though indifference isn't an unfamiliar look on either of the twins' faces...... They're just those kinds of people, especially Hiro. Maya's a little more expressive even if she likes to pretend she's not.

He probably... won't get any sordid details out of Hiro though, is he. Natsume forks over the other half of Chocolat's face and leans away, he knows when it's time to give up, and he likes Hiro, so. ) ...I know I said we could trade stoRIES, but it's alright if you don't tell ME. I just felt like I'd have to offer you something for listening to my troubles; I've been thinking myself into circles when I'm alone otherWISE.

[adsum]

[ until-he-isn't, i'm crying, not Hiro losing one of his only three friends

He accepts Chocolat's face but instead of digging in, sets his chopsticks down so he can tap a finger to his chest and cup his hand next to his ear: he'll listen— he's better at it than talking, anyways, and besides, they're friends. That's what friends do. He thinks, maybe, and he understands how having nobody to talk to would make you stir crazy. ]

[crystallomancy]

( STOP THAT WAS FOR HIRO BEING MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD even if he killed someone else natsume would still like him........... i mean as long as it wasn't someone he liked ig........................... might have a problem if it was. )

If you're always listenING, who do you talk about your problems TO?

[adsum]

[ He mimes holding a bowl and eating something from it one by one with his other hand. This is his pantomime for counselor-kun. Not even Maya. He talks to the counselor. ]

[crystallomancy]

( wtf that's so cute hiro )

...Arata-sensei? ( That's the only person who comes to mind. ) But you don't get to see him unless you've tried to kill someone or enacted bodily harm in some WAY... Isn't that SO?

( ... )

Have you attempted murder prior to Seki, Hiro-kun?

[adsum]

[ He starts to nod when he hears the counselor's name, but then quickly shakes his head when Natsume keeps talking: you can see the counselor in other times too. He might not always open the door or invite you in, but Kouji is ...waves hands, nebulously in the hospital or something... and Hiro still went to counseling. ]

[crystallomancy]

( "in the hospital or something" meanwhile maya is like "that dude is dead good for him" about to win her favor by taking kouji out permanently when he shows back up—

Natsume blinks slowly at him, then leans closer. )

Were either you or Maya-chan involved in what happened to Sato-chan last YEAR?

( Is That Not Attempted Murder, If So? Or is it okay when it's in a group, like how it isn't gay to have sex with your best friend as long as there's a girl involved in the three-way or whatever. )

[adsum]

[ clicks thread from start, they're eating lunch so Hiro looks down at his lunch and stuffs his mouth like that's an excuse for him to not talk, as if he would. ]

[crystallomancy]

( i hope he chokes so i can add one more npc to my kill count )

You can just nod or shake your HEAD, Hiro-kun ♪

( It's A Yes Or No Question! )
