I thought we agreed I show you mine, you’d show me yours.
no subject
Don't say it like that...
[ Since Akira is holding onto his wrist, Akki will go ahead and tug him somewhere... not here. There really is no private place here. The bathrooms aren't an option after Akira said that. ]
no subject
[ He's stupid.
But also, he's just going to follow behind Akki like a big puppy. Grr... bark bark... if anyone stares for too long he'll glare back. ]
no subject
Students moving aside like this wouldn't be so terrible if it didn't come with the staring he can feel at his back once they pass. Staring is worse than rumors, though, because at least people won't talk if he's around, presumably, so he powerwalks to the nearest bathroom before slowing down and letting out a breath.
He's tired... ]
no subject
Akira stares at him, cocking a brow with some confusion. ]
Did that already take you out? [ Weak. ]
no subject
I don't [ huff puff ] do a lot of [ escaping ] powerwalking... You're not even winded.
no subject
If I was I'd be pretty pissed, considering I've done a lot to get the body I have.
no subject
[ no
Anyways, ]
Did something change with your cuts, that you wanted to see mine?
no subject
He shakes his head. ]
No... but I said I wanted to see yours every day, and since it was summer -- well, y'know.
no subject
He knows he agreed to it and all, but it's still nerve-wracking showing anybody his bare wrists, pulling his sleeves up and the bracelet out of the way.
There are... innumerable tallies. Just like the last time Akira had seen his wrist before break. Akki has no idea if he can tell the difference, day by day. ]
no subject
But Akira takes a peek, looking over the tallies and trying to count them. He didn't get that luxury last time, but he's at least making an attempt to have a guestimate of how many the other has before placing a hand on his arm. ]
I've tried asking a few people before, but these marks... I woke up with the ones I have, but I don't have any clue as to why they're there in the first place. [ He does, however, thanks to Joshua running his mouth like an info dump you never asked for. But his pretentious ass helped, in a way.
He taps a finger against Akki's forearm, his gaze leveled once he peers up to look at his face. ] You know how many people have died here?
no subject
The staring makes him nervous but the arm tapping is even worse, and it takes a moment before Akki lifts his gaze to meet Akira's eyes. ]
...Overall, or this school year? The school has been around for several hundred years, you know...
no subject
If it's been here for so long that means there's a yearbook, right?
no subject
[ There's a brief moment like he's trying to think if other normal schools have yearbooks, and they must, right? But with how Yogen works, its student body perpetually in flux, a yearbook that captures everybody in that year would be full of faces they've never seen, the vast majority a reminder of those who are no longer here. ]
Sometimes people take pictures to commemorate things, but I've never seen an actual yearbook since I've been here.
no subject
[ He sighs, releasing his hold on Akki's arm and instead leaning his back against the wall. He smacks his head lightly a few times, evidently annoyed as he closes his eyes. ]
All I wanna know is if I got this shit from killing someone... that's it. I just wanna know -- their face, their name, anything. It's hard to fuckin' sleep thinking about where this shit came from.
no subject
He's quiet for a moment, chewing at his bottom lip. ]
...Would that really be better? Knowing who they are?
