( he'll hate komaeda's brand of bullying, don't worry. )

You were mean? I find you to be a scared loser, so you have nothing to apologize for.

( if anything, apologize for being around nanami, which brings him to his next question. )

Did you take her, too. Do you take everyone that goes missing if not murdered by this group...

[ he immediately hates it

not the name calling, not when there's truth in it, but what makes him most upset is the insinuation that he would purposely do any wrong towards Nanami, or anybody else. ]

No.

[ If that's how Komaeda thinks of him, it isn't worth the effort trying to convince him otherwise.

He gets up and leaves. ]

( what the fuck, not how komaeda has to get up to follow this man, stop being a big baby.

is what komaeda would say if he wasn't trying to match pace with akira. )

You were with someone that day.

( leo, even though komaeda met him once and can't even recall his name. information that he's kept tucked away because nanami was around this idiot, and komaeda didn't want to cause any problems for him. he didn't have to do it, he could have explained everything, caused an uproar, placed a target on akira's back.

this is komaeda giving chances. )

Don't be upset with my question — ( he can feel it! ) If anyone hears what we spoke about, at least there's an answer to it.

[ "Don't be upset" Akira feels like crying and this is having the opposite effect. Why is Komaeda following him... is there nowhere safe in this school... ]

I already gave you my answer.

( does he look like he's about to cry, can komaeda see? show the tears, show the tears!! )

I allowed you to hold a belonging of an Ultimate that you apparently value, so please don't disappoint me or the decision I made.

[ He does look like it but Komaeda can't see if Akira's facing away from him, go away, don't look ]

Nanami-san's things aren't a bargaining chip... Please don't make it one.

[ Let him just be sad and miss Nanami!!! don't make it so every time he sees the clip he feels obligated to Komaeda for giving it to him— although now that he's thought about it, that's all he's going to think. ]

Did I ever call it one? Don't ever say something so idiotic, an Ultimate should have it, and not a coward.

( but she hung around him, and she's probably all that he knows. he looks towards akira as he looks away, and god, maybe he shouldn't have gave it away. perhaps he should have kept it to himself, because nanami — the real one — is someone that shaped komaeda to the way he is now, and the nanami that was here before... the ai... shaped akira in some way, if it's chasing after her shadow...

then so be it. )

It was in my possession, but... I understand my place, and know it's not meant to be with me. That's a piece of hope, even though Rokkun is your hope, that clip shines rather bright.

( ...luckily komaeda doesn't see ultimates as people, so he's able to say things like this. )

Remember that.

[ You don't have to say it to imply it, but Akira's never been good at arguing and isn't about to start practicing now. How do you say "I have no idea what you're talking about and will not be remembering that" in a way that's firm and polite and will get Komaeda off his case ]

I would have treasured it regardless.

[ It's a dead friend clip!! he doesn't need Komaeda telling him ]

Then why talk so negatively about it, calling it a bargaining chip... watch what you say, Fujioka-kun. It will be used against you.

( he sighs, but he's not going to argue over a hair clip anyway when he has other things to worry about like his other ultimates? besides, komaeda's petty, and when it comes to his ultimates, he'll do anything for them, especially make sure their things are fine. having it means komaeda will meet with akira more often... sighs, a blood oath he signed without knowing. )

That ability of yours, how are you able to do that?

[ Thinking about how Nanami had wanted them to be friends and instead she cursed Akira with Komaeda.

Anyways! He's not talking! Not about that ability he talks to nobody about, and not to somebody who's mean to him. See, he can be petty too. ]

Fujioka-kun? Fujioka-kun? Why aren't you talking, you apologized about being mean... are you being mean now?

( komaeda smiles, watching the other keep his lips sealed. )

It was useful, so why are you afraid...?

[ This is elementary school tactics... and he's so close to falling for it...

...

...

... ]

Please leave me alone, Komaeda-san.

[ This is what your parents tell you to say when somebody's bullying you in the playground. ]

You can save lives, yet, you dislike being around others...

( he's not going to leave him alone, because it's the truth... )

But you enjoyed Nanami-san's company, it must have been nice, to be wanted by her.

[ It was nice, and the reminder of that makes him flush.

gonna hide his face by powerwalking through the door— powerwalking towards the main doors ]

( komaeda's going to stick out his foot while he's powerwalking to trip him up. )

[ fucking faceplants

... ]

Stop acting like you're four!

( goes to sit on his back so he can't get up. )

If you stop first! Come on, tell me about your ability... it's very compatible with Rokkun's recklessness...

No! Get off!

[ He tries to roll Komaeda off his back, using his arm as leverage, but he also doesn't want to throw Komaeda off too hard or quickly because what if he smacks his head— that would be better, rational thought says, but his conscience forbids it. ]

Do I have to tell him you're being mean to me...

( not that komaeda understands the full extent of what rokkun would even do, he just knows they both hang around him. so stop!! komaeda's not going to akira win this one, and he'll try to stay on, prevent himself from being thrown off like he's some raging bull or whatever. )

Tell— who? What?

[ Stoppppp Komaeda is too sick to keep Akira pinned down; he's going to at least try to roll over onto his side or back, if not get up, because he doesn't want to talk into the dirt. ]

( fine!!! he can get on his back, and komaeda can sit on his stomach!! thought akira was too a weak twink, and this was twink wars, but komaeda is sick...

he has to keep inching to the side to try and stay on when he moved around, difficult!!! difficult!! )

You know who... we're all friends, and this is how you treat me...

[ He's a weak twink but Komaeda is sick and that's all the advantage he needs. But also this was a mistake, because it's easier to have somebody sit on your back than on your stomach.

His arms are free to shove Komaeda away though. ]

What about— how you treat me??

( komaeda's going to smack his hand with his mechanical arm, stay back, stop touching him! )

I'm treating you kindly, I even answered all your questions... what about you, Fujioka-kun, if you can explain that skill... I'll get off of you.

( explain! smack! explain! )

[ WHY IS HE FOUR why is Akira getting beat up by Komaeda, this is the worst mental image I'm crying ]

Stop it! Stop! This isn't being kind!

( AKIRA STARTED IT!!!!! maybe if he played fair, and wasn't mean to komaeda!!! )

...Oh, I'm sorry.

( smack, smack!!! and then he stops, looking down at him as he calms down. )

I feel better now! You should do this for a living, Fujioka-kun.
