[ 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. )

He's not! He's— uhh.

[ He shuts up in the face of this barrage of questions being fired at him faster than he can deny them one by one. ]

..."Sultrily"?

[ He's trying to imagine this, actually, and he looks a little disturbed ]

( listen... sultry rokkun only exists in the depths of rika's deranged imagination. that said, since he's a tulpa, maybe she can fantasize it into reality — )

Yeah! Like...

( she lets go of his face, finally, but not for long — one hand slams against the closed locker next to him, as she crowds him against it into a makeshift kabedon (makeshift because she's gremlin-sized) while her second grabs him by the chin. this is where she'd lift it up normally, but... no such luck... so she just keeps it down.

she still leans in, all serious and inconspicuous, whispering a very-not-sultry: )

You're working for me now, kitten. Got it?

[ Okay. So. The idea of Rokkun doing this to him is just so utterly ridiculous that he can't even envision it— but it's Rika standing in front of him pinning him back against the locker and kabedonning him?? that even with the very-not-sultry voice, she's too close and he can't stop his face from going hot and red.

There's a kneejerk "okay" at the tip of his tongue that he has to bite back and swallow hard before he says anything he regrets, forcing himself to shake his head and maybe that'll dislodge Rika's hand from his chin, stop ]

( see, if he just said okay, she would let him go? maybe? but since he's shaking his head, that obviously means she has to get SULTRIER??? just give her your cooperation, akira... not that even she knows what he's agreeing to but listen...

he's so red she almost feels bad. it's cute, though; unfortunately, like a shark smelling blood in the water, she thrives off of making other people weak? especially boys? )

Aww, why not? Don't you wanna commit to Rika-chan? ( she smiles, all pleasant, leaning even closer in. ) Come on, I'll treat you so good ~ Way better than Rocchi ever could ~

That's not hard...

[ ughghghgh he lifts his hand like he wants to gently push Rika away but ughhhhhhhh

The only way he knows how to escape a kabedon is if he sinks to the floor and try to duck under Rika's arm, and failing that, he can always curl up into a ball and turtle himself until Rika goes away. ]

Huh? What does that mean? Does Rocchi bully you after all?!

( she just. watches him sink to the floor and steps away, tugging her skirt lower down her thighs to gasp. )

Akki! You can't do that next to a girl in a short skirt, perv! ( was he trying to look... no. but does she care? also no. ) If you wanna take a peek, you gotta ask first! Or, even better, pay up! Only handshakes are free!

[ CHANCE!! Hands on her skirt means hands away from him and he takes the opportunity to scramble away, turning on his heels because he can't shake the urge to place his hands together in begging for forgiveness that if he doesn't get, that's fine too. ]

I'm sorry! I wasn't trying to, and I'm not giving you any money!!

( stupid. but, well... sometimes stupid and cute ARE enough. )

Akki... are you saying I'm too ugly to support?!

No! I think you're pretty, but I'm broke!!

[ So it's impossible, it won't work, don't even try to extort him, you won't get anything out of him ]
