//I just came back but it doesn’t look like it :(
//I don’t know how active the scene is (and I’m still a bit busy so my replies may be scarce for now) but if anyone wants to start something
Like ❤️ this post for a starter :)
//Sorry for vanishing again! I had to put my head down and get through the last quarter of college, but I’m basically set to graduate next month! I’ll try to be on regularly now, but I’m happy to be back, I missed rping ;~;
If you really want to, it should be safe to eat some.
“It’s only in weather like this is miss having l-long hair… oh! I’ll try it on!”
She takes the helmet, and at least it feels like it fits well enough. It’s not wiggling around or constricting air flow at least. There is still a part of prep that she doesn’t get…
“What are the t-trash bags for?”
Hopefully a smile is enough to convey that it’s a compliment to be normal. But they’re supposed to be helping each other still…
“If you ever want to talk about a-anything related to it all, I can at least be sympathetic and understanding. Or just have small talk too!”
“I know. It’s… um, I understand.”
At least she’s pretty sure she understands. At least as far as acting differently from circumstances.
“I don’t think you’re mean or a-anything now though! A little concerning health wise, but everyone is, so that’s normal too!”
//I meant maybe tonight! I’ll try to do a few before I go to sleep, and I promise 1000x I’ll do some tomorrow too!!
//I’ll get to replies tomorrow morning because I am very tiered right now, sorry.
//I am so sorry for being unresponsive for the past few days! I just started a new college quarter so I’ve been getting my things collected for new courses!
“This is so t-thoughtful… you’re very perceptive. T-Thank you.”
She put it back in the box, before pocketing it all. She couldn’t stop herself from smiling and blushing quite a bit.
“W-Wow! Thank you Komaeda!”
Even beyond just working, being able to tie her hair up when it’s hot was necessary! Nobody else would ever see the decorations, but it was so much better than just using hair ties.
B-Because having my b-blood literally boil isn’t a memory I enjoy.
It’s still really embarrassing to say it out loud, even with confirmation that they are friends. A nervous laugh helps a bit, but maybe shifting the attention might work better…
“Y-You’re a lot nicer than I thought when we f-first met.”
“O-Okay…”
She uses the back of her hands to wipe away the tears before facing him again. Having him be so honest about it was a relief, and especially having him be so… normal about it too.
“Mhm, you have to come to me. But, um… t-thank you for being my friend, Kazuichi… ehehe…”
It is, but it’s awful! But I’m n-not surprised you enjoy it…
She smiles watching Touko leave before standing to get ready. Fixing up her bandages was quick, so there was hopefully no rush to pick out some nice heavier clothes.
A simple wool sweater and jeans would be fine, and a scarf would keep her warm.
“I’m ready when you are!”
I-
It’s your fault either of u-us know!
Y-You know… it’s not often a person gets to s-survive dying.
explaining everything was… difficult, but she’s supposed to be honest with friends.
“Sorry I’m r-ruining this. I just… you didn’t w-want more then the hug…”
She tries to get a glance and his body language without being spotted.
She’s reluctant to end the embrace, but she’d never dream of not letting him go. Once he checks in on her, Mikan looks away and hides her eyes with an arm.
“I-I am… I’m okay… sorry.”
At least she feels fine, aside from being beyond embarrassed. Trying to put into words what happened without
“I’ll come, but I need some time to get ready, sorry…”
She’d spent her time thinking fidgeting with the frayed bandages on her arm. It’d need to be reapplied before anything, and heavier clothes were probably necessary.
“I… I…”
It’s dangerous, but since she won’t be alone, it’ll be manageable if they never go at the same time. She’d wanted to try it since she was a kid, but now there was shame to that desire.
She deliberate in how to unwrap it, trying to cause the least damage.
//I’m so sorry about how long this took me!
“Um… if it’s r-really okay for me to have it, I’d like it.”
She carefully takes it from him, holding it like the wrapping paper tearing would make it explode. Not that she thought it would, she’d like to think she’s on better terms with Komaeda than most of their classmates.
“Thank you Komaeda…”
She’d already started to tear up, but the closeness and comfort with someone who wanted nothing from her was enough to push them down her face. This felt like the most practical moment for her being a silent crier, and all she could do is pray he didn’t notice the abnormalities in her breathing.
Even knowing it was coming, she froze up for a moment when he hugged her. She very slowly returned the hug, as if being too rough would kill him. Her breathing got deeper the closer she got to completing it, and her voice came out in a whisper.
“I’m sorry.”
“Y-Yes! I am feeling better!”
She was sitting on the edge of her bed, but shot up to attention when Touko appeared.
“I haven’t… sorry. It’s not that safe though, right?”
H-Happy New Year!
//Feel free, at any time, to like, get my attention on older replies or new rps cause I forget stuff really easily. Sorry
