I think Senpai's mouth runs ahead of him sometimes.

( and she knows because hers does, too. this is just a side-effect of having a rude-ass personality... but still! she learned her lesson, so izumi has to do better, too!!

she perks up a little, hearing him say her name, and grins. happy... too bad she's about to ruin this nice atmosphere. )

Oh, I left it in that bag on the desk! Check if it's something you'll eat, 'kay? ( she points towards it, waiting for him to move away from the door before quietly... closing it behind herself. she's only staying for a moment, just enough for chiaki to give her her share of food because this is her payment today, but look.

the moment izumi approaches the desk, she fully expects chiaki to just bust out from behind it. )

[obsessiveness]

[ huh, okay then. let him just approach the bag and get it himself... ]

These better be good enough for my standards... Aren't you getting us drinks--?

[ but by the time izumi turns around, rika's already gone. weird?? but she's kinda flighty so she's probably gone ahead and get some for them. although, is it just him or is this room a little too empty... ]

[adsum]

[ I do remember opening this up at 3am and writing "Chiaki drops down from the ceiling" and then closing the tab again

Anyways, how is this timing supposed to work... Chiaki busts out from behind the desk when Sena approaches it, but she has to ignore him completely and zip over towards Rika to hand off her payment (short ribs with daikon and carrot, with a side of potato and beef korokke), whip out a little can of paint and dump it over the door to act as Sena-deterrent, and then turn around and clap her hands together in surprise like she just noticed him there. ]

Sena! What are you doing here?

[obsessiveness]

[ jesus christ, the way she zipped out of her hiding place like a veteran track-and-field member ]

K-Kudo...?! What are you--

[ he watches her paint over the doorknob in sheer bewilderment, the realization slowly dawning on his face. ]

That little shit! Kawai! I'm going to kill you when I get out of here!!

[ so much for first-name basis RIKA RUN ]

[contrarily]

( wow, chiaki's got some skills...

anyway, pretend she's not sitting right outside the door with the chair blocking the way and eating her Hard Earned lunch. )

Be nice, Senpai!! ( that's the last thing you'll hear from her unless idk tables start flying. otherwise she's just gonna zone out and think about rokkun's abs so

good luck izumi love u!! )

[adsum]

You can't kill her, she's under my protection. Anyways!

[ Anyways!! She pulls her own bag out from behind the desk and sets it down on top, unwrapping the wrapping cloth and spreading it flat like a tablecloth. ]

Stop making a fuss and sit down. It's lunch time! You've got nowhere to run.

[obsessiveness]

[ hnnnnnnnnnn

what the fuck what the fuck what the FUCK

he angrily plops onto a chair far far away from her, thank you very much. ]

I'm not hungry. You don't even know that I don't eat just about anything that's handed to me.

[adsum]

You gotta eat sometimes in the next two weeks, Sena. [ Which is how long she is willing to camp out here for, maybe longer. ] It's no good for your health if you don't, and I know you gotta take care of yourself no matter what.

[ And, well, it's lunch time and she's hungry, so whatever, she's going to start eating without him if he's going to be pissy about it. It's miso glazed eggplant, teriyaki tofu, and a side salad of pickled cucumber and seaweed with white sesame seeds.

...should've had Rika join them on their lunch date, she wants meat too. ]

[obsessiveness]

[ he'd rather eat with rika only, to be honest. even though she lured him into this trap the entire time, he still can't help but worry about her health? what if rokkun wouldnt be able to lift her by the love handles anymore.

the food's real tempting but... nnn. no, he's staying put, staring daggers at her direction. ]

Oh, gee. Wonder what horrors I'm going to be facing off next. As if I'm not already terrified for my life this past week!

[adsum]

-—Are your grades that bad?!

[ RIKA COME BACK we gotta tutor Sena ]

[obsessiveness]

Excuse you?! I've been a good student all my life! I've studied and practiced harder than everyone else!

[ but that doesn't apply to this school, does it... ]

[adsum]

Effort isn't everything!!

[ You can try your best but still repeat twelves years ]

[obsessiveness]

I know it's not! But it's not like ordinary people like me have a choice. People out there with their weirdo magic powers and genius talents... They all think that they're defined by their strange ass abilities when that's not how the real world works most of the time!

[ HUFFS ]

But that's not what you're here for, isn't it?

[adsum]

Nope! I'm here to eat lunch with Sena. Magic and geniuses are whatever, I don't care, that's not what makes a person shine.

[ They're Extra and they're Special, but at the same time off-putting when that's not what she's looking for in a person. ]

I like the Sena who is ordinary. The Sena who is beautiful! Who I love to watch! Who works his ass off but still believes the earth is flat for some reason and I don't really get that.

[obsessiveness]

[ a rather long pause. ]

...Who said I don't believe the world is flat?

[adsum]

Sakasaki did! He said lots of other things, but don't worry! I still love you!

[ just gotta clear up some false beliefs, and he'll be fine after reeducation. ]

[obsessiveness]

[ crosses his arms across his chest. ]

I see. So you'd rather believe in bullshit that falls from his mouth.

[adsum]

Wha- bullshit? He wouldn't like to me??

[ Why would anybody lie to HER? how dare they? unimaginable ]

Is he jealous of you? Is that why he— oh...

[obsessiveness]

[ sis.... this ain't it.... ]

Hah, I doubt it. That shitty brat is too self-important to even consider looking up to people like me. He's got a silver tongue that he uses to his advantage in his career. But luckily I'm not that easily fooled. Like the one time he asked me if he could take my heart.

[ he turns his cold gaze on her. ]

Mind explaining that, Kudo?

[adsum]

Oh? Oh...

[ She presses her hands to her mouth. ]

He's jealous of me...

[ So that's how it is. Feeding her lies to sabotage her relationship with Izumi. Anybody would be jealous; she can understand that. ]

[obsessiveness]

[ rolls! his eyes!! ]

Look, I may be just as deluded if not worse, but I'd rather not waste time trying to convince you otherwise if you're that sick in the head. Don't you rather want to hear the truth from the source itself than believing in whatever lies people feed you? Because I do.

[adsum]

[ nooooooo don't admit you're also delusional, Izumi, please, ]

From you? Yeah! I want to hear about you!!

[ She hardly ever gets to hear Izumi talk about himself, so this is a rare treat, Chiaki unable to help but smiling as she chinhands over lunch. ]

Tell me about your thoughts about the world, and your opinion on footie pajamas, and what you like to eat for breakfast, and do you know Popee??

[obsessiveness]

[ AT LEAST HE CAN ADMIT THAT but tru... he's rarely super honest with himself... ]

No, you have to explain your side of the story first. Sakasaki rubbed me the wrong way because of it.

[ and, you know, they almost killed each other, ]

[adsum]

Hm? He owed me a favor, and asked what I wanted.

[ You know how Natsume is, preferring to deal in exchanges, and it should be clear what Chiaki wants most of all and what she asked for, so she doesn't bother with elaborating on the story. ]

Sooooooooooo... Popee?

[obsessiveness]

What the heck is a Popee?

[ if it's not a clothing brand or a new idol unit that needs defeating... bye ]

No, I mean-- why do you need my heart that badly? Sakasaki's chances of getting it are slim to none.
