[crystallomancy]

( now he can stop being honest for the rest of his life, right, because his face is starting to warm a little and he looks away from hiro with a little huff. not pulling away, but if he thinks about the last three minutes he wants to lowkey die. )

...All of that is a secret between you and me, got IT? I have a reputation as someone who's good with peoPLE. ( which obviously does not correlate with Making Friends, but he gets along well enough and he's sociable when he feels like it. ) I'd also like it if you didn't tell Maya-chan. I know twins share almost everyTHING, but I'm trying to get back into her good graCES, or what little I was in prior to my misSTEP. I doubt upsetting you would help my CASE.

( ... )

Does she have a favorite food or something I can offer as an olive BRANCH.

( this is all he had to ask but he had a feelings jam instead. the essence of enstars actually )

[adsum]

[ There's nobody else he would tell but Maya, and if he did, the first thing she'd say is "I told you so," so Natsume's secret is as good as kept.

Hiro nods, then shuffles a bit closer, shifting so he's on his knees instead of sitting back so he can lean forward and bring his mouth close to Natsume's ears, a whisper only for him: ]

But she'll know that I told you.

[ Favorite food or not, she wouldn't be happy with that, Hiro thinks. An olive branch would look like a bribe, and she's too proud. Anything Hiro tells him, anything Natsume just magically happens to know the next time he talks to Maya, she's going to suspect— but he knows enough already. He knows she's not just the student council president, that's not all she is. ]

( Right, she's also just a girl. Not a very ordinary one, but a girl all the same.

Still though, doesn't he feel special — maybe a little, and he sighs as if this is truly the worst thing in the world. It isn't, but Wataru's dramatics have rubbed off on him in the past year. )

You're RIGHT, and I wouldn't want you to get in trouBLE. ( Or give her more reasons to distrust him... but it isn't like she completely distrusts him anyway, right? Natsume sets that aside to consider later. He's doing that a lot lately, not just with her. ) ...I'll think of someTHING.

( Lemon cookies. Perfume. Origami flowers. A bomb. A free punch. Acting like nothing happened. A folding fan, for the heat. )

Or maybe noTHING. ( Hmmmmm. Well. Quieter, not looking at Hiro but at the hope meat, he's going to pick it back up while he simply says: ) ...Thank YOU.

( For agreeing to try again? For talking to him? For the help? Thank you all the same. )

[adsum]

[ Please give her a bomb--

Hiro settles back, leaning against his knees as he looks over at Natsume, meeting the thank you with silence and not quite a smile on his face but dipping his head in a nod. They're friends, or something like that, so of course he would help. ]

[crystallomancy]

( Natsume just puts a gift-wrapped box by her locker and in it is a bomb and it's like, is this a bribe or a threat—

He'll hang out with Hiro for a little while longer, at least until his cold pack gets kind of grossly warm... which then he'll toss it out, according to grocery standards it's now become a health hazard. But before he leaves, )

Can I ask you about your incident with Seki-kun someTIME?

( it would be "now" but if he keeps hiro for too long maya will show up like a bloodhound and getting caught sitting with the fridge open and cooling down with frozen food won't impress her, )

[adsum]

[ Hiro shakes his head no and walks away. Maybe he can sense Maya coming down the hall like a bloodhound, maybe he just doesn't want to talk about murdering Kouji, he's done enough of that at counseling all last month and he's all talked out. ]
