( insane and rika's having a tougher and tougher time respecting it BUT you know what... as long as the dorm's funded... )

Even if the calendar idea doesn't go through, there's still a few more I can use them for! Someone's gotta do the legwork, and it's not gonna be me.

( he's gonna get swatted again, just for that. )

Rocchi!! ( crazy. deranged. ) Don't make me borrow Koma-kyun's leash.

[ bwah--

Maybe he's joking, we don't know. ]

The leash won't- [ ... ] Never mind. What other ideas did you have? Cupcakes?

( joking... sure... )

It'd look cute on Senpai, I think. ( even if it didn't do anything?

anyway: )

... cupcakes are still only your idea, Rocchi. So innocent. ( there, she'll even pinch his cheek. so cute!! ) But no! I want something scandalous that'll bring in the money! Like a host club! Or a maid cafe!! Maybe a mix of the two, so we can put everyone to work!

[ never mind the leash, Rika needs handcuffs ]

Cupcakes bring in money...

[ Cheap to make in batches and you can sell them for like $5 each ]

Either way, you'd better have dome good friends willing to do the legwork making that sort of stuff happen. All this for an old dorm when we could build a blanket fort in a classroom.

( hold her arms down yourself coward )

But it's boooooooooooooooring!! I want something that'll make my heart skip a beat! ( she huffs, stubbornly.

what is there to cupcakes... nothing. profit margin, maybe, but that's not nearly dramatic or exciting enough to make her interested. that kind of a practical idea should be taken to someone who cares about practicality in the first place. )

Don't worry, we're all pretty desperate. I mean... that's not a long term solution for our current living condition, but the dorms are.

[ His idea was a good idea... They could do another gladiator death match? Sure to get hearts skipping.

Anyways, he looks like he's about to say something about the dorms, but he's not going to say something about the dorms. They're fine. ]

Good luck.

[ Really not his problem ]

( and he'd take part? absolutely not. )

Hmm... ? Rocchi, you don't seem very excited about the idea. ( she narrows her eyes up at him, pouting.

at least praise her for creativity... or say you want to see her in meido... dummy. )

[ maybe, but that would involve everybody else seeing her in meido and somehow, he can't feel too happy about that. ]

It's not that. It sounds...

[ fun? Exciting? Not things he's about. It sounds like being surrounded by people and being stared at by people and that's also not what he's about ]

Troublesome.

[ he dips his head and places a kiss on her forehead ]

I'm going to need a little more before I decide you're worth the trouble.

( it's not like it's not a valid feeling — it's not as if she's not full of hesitation and uncertainty, too, but...

listen. it's not something you tell a feral girl that has an easy access to kicking you in the shoulder, which she promptly does, lips curving into a frown. )

Rocchi... you're a jerk! Put me down!! ( and she begins thrashing around like a rabies-infested cat. YES she will scratch his face too if needed be? )

[ Opens up his arms and drops her down the stairs

It's okay, cats land on their feet. Also bc Chiaki needs her alive for lunch date, there's only one or two steps to the bottom floor, she'll be fine ]

( how u gonna make me retcon the cake thread bc she's gonna be too pissed at him to do it?!?!?!?

well, she sure does fall from his arms. flexibility aside, that was kind of unexpected, so her ass takes the brunt of the fall, sending a wave of unpleasant pain up her tailbone.

ow...

... without even thinking about it, she turns and grabs at his leg, pulling him down to see if she can make him fall. bitch? )

[ tfw 3am Ori betrayed my self-destructive nature

also tfw you're grabbed suddenly by the leg and find yourself pitching forward, and your involuntary instinct is to pull your hand in and throw your elbow out and aimed to crush your opponent's eye socket, and then snap out of it in the last moment because this isn't """soccer""" it's Rika and his elbow jerks back to slam against the ground instead, followed by his shoulder as he turns so he doesn't crush Rika under his weight. ]

( 3 am ori was out for blood...

but honestly, rika's pretty satisfied just watching him fall, even if he does? something weird during said fall? boy what kinda soccer are you playing what the fuck...

with a small grimace, she rolls over and pats her tailbone. ow... )

Senpai... ( deep exhale. groaning, she drags herself to crawl on top of him, looming over his face. ) Since you suck with girls, this is gonna be a free advice, so listen closely!! You can't just tell a girl she's not worth it to her face! Even if... you're hesitant... just keep it to yourself! Men should be concerned for women's fragile feelings first and foremost! And do I really have to lecture you on handling girls?! Even someone like you should know better than that! My butt is gonna bruise 'cause of you!!

( that said, she awkwardly looks at his shoulder. is he like... ok... smacks it )

[ The last time somebody sat on top of him he was force fed blood. He grimaces a little when Rika smacks his shoulder, thanks, but it's a bruise that'll go away and he doesn't care too much about it, more concerned about lying on the ground while being yelled at. ]

Sorry...

[ Why is human interaction so difficult ]

I didn't think you were so fragile— and I don't mean that as a bad thing, either. Did I hurt your feelings?

( she doesn't sit on him completely, and she's not gonna feed him any blood, either. just kind of, hovers there, eyes narrowed, at least until he apologizes — and then she scoffs, because, really? her feelings?

that's ridiculous. )

No, that was a general lesson, in case you need it in the future. ( he's lucky she doesn't throw up on him, because that's exactly how she feels whenever someone accuses her of having human emotion that isn't childish anger.

huffing, she pushes herself up to stand and dusts her hands off. )

And I'm not fragile. Doesn't mean I want ugly bruises on my ass? An idol needs her body in a perfect condition! ( not that she's an idol anymore, but it's a convenient excuse and she can just. shove her hands into her pockets take a step away before rokkun attempts to kill her again because this thread has been such a rollercoaster i can't rule that out. )

Take care, Rocchi. I'm gonna go kiss your stupid little nerdy friend now!!

( runs off fastly before she shows him any more vulnerabilities )

[ Rokkun pulls out his phone and texts Akira to run for it ]

( he can run but he can't hide )

[ Akira at the lockers quickly shoving his shit inside his backpack so he can go home, he can absolutely hide ]

( SLAMS INTO HIM AT FULL SPEED )

[ WHY!!!

Rika spreading the bruised tailbones, I see ]

( she's carrying on 3 am ori's legacy... paying it forward...

anyway, she probably slammed him halfway into the actual locker if it was open, so. tugs him out. )

[ Terrible. He's not even going to resist, neither the being slammed into nor being tugged out of his half open locker, and he absolutely isn't making eye contact with Rika. ]

What- what is it? What do you want?

( cute... like a little mouse... no wonder rokkun wanted to protect him!! not that he succeeded, apparently, because she's grabbing his face and making him look at her, grinning from ear to ear. )

You're Rocchi's friend, right?! I wanted to meet you!

[ I'd like to imagine Rokkun could so easily follow after Rika and save Akira but he doesn't, he lets this happen, this is why Akira wants to set him on fire.

Like his face isn't already on fire when Rika grabs his face; she can make him face her, but she can't stop him from averting his eyes, hands fiddling with the hem of his shirt like he could take Rika's wrists and peel her hands off his face, but that involves human contact and so he can't. ]

I... wouldn't really say we're friends. I'm Akira Fujioka. You can let go now...

( he really sent a text and said my job here is done & good luck with alla that

which works out for rika, honestly. she wasn't sure whether he'd follow or not, but considering everything they've been through today, he's probably tired and she can take advantage of it... by tormenting someone else instead. )

Hmmm... not really friends, but you were with him in his class... ( HMMMMMMMMMMMMM ) Akki, is Rocchi bullying you into hanging out with him?! I mean... what do you two have in common? ... childhood friends, maybe? Or some nerd stuff, like... pretending to shoot fireballs?

( she means DND, probably. )

Or maybe he uses you for homework!! Did he kabedon you one day with a really stern expression and asked you all sultrily to do his work for him or else?! ( is she actually speculating or fantasizing about him doing that to her?

yes. )

You can tell your friendly idol Rika-chan anything! ( and no, she's not letting go. )
