( she's still wondering whether he's messing around, but... akira doesn't seem like a good liar, so maybe he really did not see anything special through his glasses. in the other hand, maybe not looking like a good liar makes you a good liar??

who knows. the point is, glasses acquired, the boy confused, everything is working out. )

You sure? Normally, people keel over more like this — ( and she bends over, holding onto her sides and wheezing theatrically. ) Yeah! Everything is in 1080p now!! Suuuper high definition!

( ... not that the people of this year know what 1080p means, but, well. )

I saw things I've never seen before! ( literally. )

[ No... normally people do not do that? Rika watches too many movies. ]

Like individual leaves off a tree, right? That's what I thought too, when I first got glasses.

[ You start to notice everything and it's a little overwhelming, but it's an— for lack of a better term— eye opening experience. ]

Mine are kind of plain, though... Ones with thinner frames would suit you more, I think.

Yup! Every individual book in the library!

( her eyesight is perfectly fine, honestly, she's never complained about that, but going along with the lie is easy. )

Hehe, once I go get my prescription, I can pick something more fitting, but... I still look super cute, right?

( strikes a pose!!!!!!! )

[ —he's played enough rpgs to know what the right answer to this is, so there's only the slightest hesitation before he speaks. ]

Yeah. You're super cute.

( yup, he's got that one right. +5 rika relationship points. )

Akki's not bad without the glasses, either! ( and she pokes him in the side he was holding, just to see — )

[ See what?? it's not like he got stabbed there and is bleeding out, but he jumps as if sensitive in his side anyways. ]

Wha- hey!

[ Anyways, I needed a visual for how he would look without glasses and decided I can no longer trust this face, the only thing saving him was the glasses, that was his charm point. ]

( DID YOU EDIT AN ICON OF HIM WITHOUT GLASSES NOOO HE LOOKS CUTE STOP )

Hmm... is Akki taking proper care of himself? ( see what's there cause she's nosy as hell!!

in fact, let her just lift his shirt up to take a peek because god is dead and rika has no fear nor respect for anyone's boundaries. )

[ I did and I was soooo sad I couldn't save his blushy one so instead Rika gets yelly Akira who tries very hard to pull his shirt back down but not before she catches a glimpse of a flat stomach with no abs, she shouldn't be disappointed. ]

Stop that!

( CUTE!! he looks v different though im crying THE DISPARITY...

anyway, this is about what she expected, yeah. no muscle... akira only works out at the library. that said, she's more interested in his side, tugging his shirt up there. )

Akki, if anyone bullies you, tell me, kay?! I'll deal with them!!

[ His glasses are gone and I suddenly don't trust him, i'm crying ]

This is— [ desperately tugging down his shirt ] kind of bullying right now, Kawai-san...!

[ His side is unremarkable save for one old scar, several inches long and paler than the rest of his skin, just above the hip bone. ]

( glass-less akira... maybe he was the 3 am ori all along... )

... ( she glances at the scar, then back up to his face, letting go.

well, they've all got some, right? this one must be old, silver and pale on his skin, and if she feels bad, it doesn't show on her face, but — )

Akki, this is why you gotta tell me no clearly, okay? ( she'll bully him until he grows a backbone and shoves her away one day, or something. listen... this is her way of caring for people. ) Come on, say it! Unless you secretly like it when I touch you... ~

[ I couldn't stand him and so 6pm Ori nuked 3am Akira, goodbye ]

I— I don't...

[ nnnn ]

...I think you can tell when somebody is uncomfortable, and instead of preying on that, you should be a little more considerate.

( NOOO FAREWELL SWEET PRINCE )

Oh, I can tell. I just don't care until you voice it.

( ??? why should she, when he just lets it happen? )

Here, try it! Try shoving me against the wall — ( and she spreads her arms, grinning. ) Say, "stop messing around!" and shove me! ( she looks very excited at the idea of akira doing it. not because it's all that exciting all in itself, but listen... it's akira? )

[ It's called consideration!! Kawai-san!!!! ]

Wha- no way! I can't!

[ She spreads her arms which means he's free which means he clutches the hem of his shirt so she can't grab it anymore and takes a huge step back away from her. ]

I'm not going to ye— [ no, he's already yelling ] —shove you! That's mean!

( never heard of that!!!!!!!!! )

So what?! Sometimes you have to be a little mean to survive, you know!

( so do it!! shove her!! )

Do not??

[ Hello???? who the fuck says so????? ]

If you surround yourself with good people, people help each other instead of bringing each other down. There is zero reason for me to push you around.

( she looks at him, skeptical. what an idealistic view of the world — almost strange, in this place, where things like good people are arguably hard to come by. how naive is akira? is he just pretending? how many terrible things did he have to do, in order to reach third year? she looks at him, gaze a little distant, then scoffs. )

As if I'll believe that shit. ( surrounding yourself with good people... what childish crap. ) If you wanna surround yourself with good people, then leave me already!

( what is he still doing here, humoring her? she's clearly not the kind of a friend who'll only ever help build you up — not in the regular sense of the word, at least. she... doesn't have bad intentions, but... )

[ He doesn't move, because, first of all, Rika still has his glasses and he needs them back. But more than that, ]

I don't think you're a bad person, Kawai-san. No person is without sin... I would have to surround myself with newborn babies if that was the purity I meant. Good people can do bad things when placed in certain situations... but it doesn't change who they are at their core. That's what I believe.

( oh, she's not giving these back. in fact, she'll take them off right now and stuff them beneath her shirt, hooking them on the front clasp of her bra. anyways... )

Is that what you tell yourself when you kill people, Senpai? ( she tilts her head, lips curving into a pleasant smile. ) If good people do bad things, doesn't that taint them enough to become bad? Or do you think you're a good person just because you tell yourself you are?

( she takes a step towards him, now, narrowing her eyes. )

Don't give me this purity crap. You're probably just as bad as the rest of them, if not worse. Hey, Senpai... just how much blood is on your hands?

What...?

[ He takes a step back when she approaches, because "Hey, Senpai, are you a murderer?" ?? Who would say yes to that ]

...I don't think of myself as a good person. I have done things I hate myself for. But my hands are not tainted with blood.

( HONEST PEOPLE??? )

Then why lecture me on shit you don't even follow yourself? If we're not good people, then it's fine to be around each other, right... ?

( do you not wanna be friends, senpai... :( )

What??

[ he does not, actually, but that's besides the point ]

We can be around each other. But I'm not going to be mean to you.

( GO TO BED ORI YOU CAN'T BE HERE AT THIS TIMEEEEEE )

... not even if I'm mean to you? ( she stares at him, expectant.

honestly, one day, they'll figure out what's wrong with all these people, and then she'll be able to stare akira in the eye as he admits to all his crimes and hypocrisies, but until then — )

Woow, Senpai really is kind hearted... I guess I got upset for nothing! ( she smiles, grabbing onto his arm again. ) So about my first request!!!

[ STOP I SLEPT-ISH

also I hope you guys figure something out before the end of year two ]

Uh-- what was...

[ ... He decidedly does not look at her chest, but the temptation is there ]

...I only have the one pair of glasses.

( ish... ISH...

also please WE'RE TRYING SO HARD (rokkun voice) did u guys solve anything yet (us) having a breakdown )

... ( he can, honestly. she probably wears her shirt at least a little unbuttoned, in honor of the v-neck she misses having? and yes, the glasses are there, but if he tries to reach, she'll cut his arm off? )

Nevermind that! I was gonna ask if you'd help me out with some sewing.
