[ It hurts a little that Komaeda ignores him when he walks in... even if he lingers in the doorway for a bit, and makes sure to give ample chance to be seen. It's not that he wants specific attention or anything, it's just... that confirms what Saihara thinks. Since the meeting last weekend, for reasons he can only begin to guess at (and trust me, he's wrong) but hasn't quite been able to deduce on his own... Komaeda's seemed just avoidant all week. That sort of thing bothers him -- there's no way he can leave it alone.

Murder and other outstanding problems or not. ]


...

[ He lets himself properly in and walks off, trying not to eye the table the other is seated at much. It's not until after he's wandered among the shelves for a while, tracing the spines of books with his fingers and reading the titles as he thinks, that he returns with one he picked up. It gets placed gently on the table Komaeda's still at, not over whatever he's currently reading, but still close beside it in plain sight. There's also a little note at the top, on a small slip of paper over the cover: ]

Sorry. It just somehow... seemed like it fit.

[ Fit what exactly...? Maybe Komaeda's mood. ]

...

[ No... whether Komaeda's expression is just from being tired or not, Saihara's been ready to accept any reason for that. You can't turn away from the truth after all -- and if something's up, him refusing to understand it or hoping there's nothing like that... would do nothing to change it at all. That's why, even though he flinches a little at the avoidant response, he remains where he is. It's alright; it's nothing he hasn't thought might happen before he came.

For a moment... he looks at Komaeda alone, from the one-sided end he's been left at.

A few seconds later though, the fingers from his still usable hand find the note, pulling it carefully down from the cover. Once on the desk, he turns it towards himself and leans closer to write with his elbow set down (and if Komaeda doesn't like it then... he's free to move over a little further himself). It's more difficult that it would be if he had his left hand... like this, there's nothing to properly hold the paper down, and the words seem a little shaky as they take form.

Regardless, he slides it over again. ]


Komaeda-kun... what's going on? And before you say it... I might be able to speculate or deduce on my own. But that's not what I want to do with you.

[All he wanted was a packet of peach-free fruit snacks to close out this shitty, shitty day... and then, while he's still scanning the vending machine for the right code, he hears the voice of a certain hopeful someone he'd specifically asked to never speak to him again

He stiffens, one fist wound tightly at his side and the other gripping his PDA so tightly it may very well end up like the broken one sitting back in his locker... but he eventually turns on a shoed-heeled foot, not punching Komaeda in the jaw like he so desperately wants to, but still very much glaring in his direction with all his icy power. The mean bitch Ventus glare is turned ON.]


I am not in the mood for this. [what part of "I want you to never speak to me again" did he not understand???????] Whatever you wanted to say, I don't care, because I've yet to hear one sensible thing come out of your mouth since we got here. Do I need to spell it out for you?

[well

the "thank you" at least throws Clamor off long enough for Komaeda to get a sentence in. He needs a moment to decide if he's angry, confused, or just frustrated with everything that's happened today and desperate to take it out on someone. But if anyone deserves to get mercilessly chewed out by him right now, it's probably the lunatic who killed an innocent girl, mutilated Izumi's body, and bullied his son.

Clamor sighs sharply through clenched teeth, deciding that it's better to just ignore him and move on. He's still keeping one eye on Komaeda (not going to turn his back on a murderer) as he turns to face the vending machine just enough to hopefully punch in his snack code and get the hell out of here...

until Noah is brought up. He freezes again, ever briefly, before angrily punching in the code he was looking for. He really shouldn't be taking such obvious bait, but]


I already told you to stay away from Noah. I know you've been picking on him, too. I swear, if you ever do anything to hurt him [the fuck is Clamor going to do, he can't even do magic here] it'll be the last thing you ever do.

[there's a gentle beep as he swipes his PDA over the sensor, followed by a mechanical whirr and a thunk of a small pack of nutritious fruit snacks being deposited into the bottom of the machine. He looks Komaeda in the eyes.]

Stay away from my family.

"I sat up in the freshness of the morning, trying to remember how I had got there, and why I had such a profound sense of desertion and despair. Then things came clear in my mind. With the plain, reasonable daylight, I could look my circumstances fairly in the face. I saw the wild folly of my frenzy overnight, and I could reason with myself."

[ It's the starting passage from the current page in the book... where Komaeda himself had left it lying open after his fingers flipped through. Saihara's got little to do but to stare at them while he waits, wordless against the silence of the room itself. The chair he pulls out from the table scrapes lightly across the floor, and it too makes no noise; there's only the eerie reverberation he feels in his bones as the motion transfers from ground through the wood, but he ignores it and sits down.

They're beside each other now, just in time for him to read the reply. ]


No... you won't.

[ It takes him mere seconds to grab the pen in return and to write that down. For a single second, his brows lower heavily with the weight of a thoughtful frown... ]

You never argued against the way I outlined the case, and if I think about that... considering the type of motive you had, there are hundreds of other students you'd go for first.

[ Not that he likes the idea or thinks Komaeda should... but it's true. And there's one more thing in the message that still stood out, no matter how hard the other might have tried to the contrary. ]

Besides, I didn't ask what was wrong. I asked you what's going on, so the fact that you chose that word...

[he shouldn't even be listening. he should just walk away now, stop enabling Komaeda's ramblings, it's not like anything he says is worth listening to...

but he listens. he listens, and he hates every second of it, because none of it is a lie.

If he hurts, it'll be because of you.

... that's how it is, isn't it? Noah... can protect himself. Noah doesn't need anyone else to defend him. He's strong, and independent, and fearless against danger. What could Komaeda even do to him? Murderer or not, he's just human.

But it's the people around him getting hurt that Noah is always fretting about, and... what is Clamor, if not a glaringly obvious weakness? If someone wanted to hurt Noah, wouldn't it just make sense to go for one of the people closest to him, like a weak and easy target who's never been in a real fight before? Someone just like, say... Clamor?

He's been trying so hard to support him, to keep Noah's spirits up even when everything is falling apart... but what if that's what ends up hurting him most?

he hates how much those simple words can shake him, and he has to tear his eyes away, bending down to snatch the fruits of his labour from the vending machine, frustrated at how unsteady his hands are]


You're wrong. [he's not wrong] I'm not warning you again. Stay away from Noah, and stay away from me.

[Komaeda doesn't know when to shut up. Once again, Clamor considers just socking the other man in the jaw and getting out of there... but in the end he's still a coward. And no matter how much he denies it, no matter how twisted up the logic is, at least some of what Komaeda says is true.

he's not just going to forget this, even if he walks away now. he's long passed that point already.

fine, weirdo hope man. he'll play your stupid game.]


... So, what? You want me to stay away from him? If you think I'm going to take that from you, you really are brainless.

I already lost my life a thousand years ago... I'm not afraid to die again. If it was to save Noah's life, I wouldn't think twice. But that doesn't mean I'm going to throw my life away, either. I am going to live, and Noah and I will leave this place together, just like always.

[that's his one, selfish wish... a wish that feels too ambitious to put his faith into, something a dead man like him hardly deserves. but he can still try.]

If you're so worried about something happening to me, maybe you should stop inciting people to murder.

... My past is none of your business. I'm not answering that.

[he's a little miffed Komaeda even knows, but well... it's not like he's tried to make it a big secret or anything. but he's still not going to talk about it now, because fuck you Komaeda. you specifically don't get to know about the sickle thing.

basically, he's ignoring the sickle part.]


Noah has his own goals to worry about, too. And he wouldn't leave me behind in a hellhole like this. Just because I have a body here doesn't make it any better... we're partners, we leave together.

[he won't stay behind, and he won't leave without Noah—what would be the point? being "safe" but alone again... he'd be miserable like that.]

[ Dito is very much making his way down the hall, kind of half dissociating and kind of half annoyed. It's really fucking annoying, and he stops at some point to look at the shit that's all over himself and his spear. He doesn't like it. Grimaces at it, even though he doesn't give a shit and actively enjoys being covered in blood and guts and the like.

This is completely different. Nothing he expected at all, and while he thinks Legion should die one-hundred times over for being so fucking foul, it's no fun at all to do it himself. Maybe Zero will do it. She's in the same club.

He feels like he's going to vomit or something, because this is so disgusting and he needs to wash himself off with the blood water or whatever it is now. At least that will make things better.

His brow twitches as he registers Komaeda's voice, but he is absolutely kind of ignoring him. Him and that weird hope talk he doesn't understand -- Dito grips his spear tighter and slowly exhales.

... At least, until he feels Komaeda wiping something down his back. It's not hard to figure out what it is, and Dito makes a full-body shudder in response before freezing for a second. God. His stomach turns, even though he ultimately ends up whipping around with a scowl. ]


-- Goddammit, what's your problem?

[ So gross. So gross.

It's half of what his mind is preoccupied with right now, but he's still got plenty of fire in him to get pissed at Komaeda as per usual. ]

[ Dito's shoulders tense for a second, and he huffs a frustrated breath through his nose before he narrows his eyes at Komaeda. ]

You on something? There wasn't anything "wonderful" about any of that! Hell, I'm kind of pissed I didn't even get any bloodshed out of it...

[ Well... Except for one thing.

Dito wrinkles his nose again, noticing how sore it feels before licking at his thumb nonchalantly, wiping at his upper lip again to get more of the blood that was drying off and into his direct line of sight again.

He eyes it, half-chuckling quietly to himself as he sees it again. He really did get his face busted, huh...

He sighs quietly, his grip on his spear still tight as he ignores the cat walking past him and finally responds to Komaeda's comment about his "messy situation". ]


You think? Now I'm covered in all this...eugh...

[ What even is this!!

He lifts his gaze to stare down Komaeda in front of him at this point, expression unimpressed and yet exasperated altogether. ]


You did that thing again, didn't you?

NOT HIM IN HIS BIRD ERA... BOUTTA FLAP OUT

[personal profile] necrophily 2021-07-23 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ You know what, Dito doesn't like that. He would probably try to shove Komaeda's face aside if he were...taller...but he's not, so he's just going to brush past Komaeda and his stare as he makes a start for the closer bathroom at the end of the hall.

He sheathes his spear, even though he doesn't really want to, since he thinks he'd love to try stabbing Komaeda again or something. But he can't exactly wash himself off or anything if he has it out, so. Whatever.

Maybe getting covered in blood might make this more tolerable than washing off, though.

He scoffs at Komaeda's comment. What is this self-degrading shit he's always on... It's kind of gross, and it makes him think about Decadus or something. Ew. ]


Yeah, it's kinda noticeable when a bunch of weird shit happens around you all the time, dumbass.

[ "Lucky"...is that what he calls it? Dito rolls his eyes, turning the handle and pushing against the bathroom door almost impatiently with his cum-stained hands here. ]

I fucking wish I could ignore it.

[ He grumbles, moving toward the nearest sink before he sees...Komaeda at the nearest stall.

Oh, hell no. ]


You're kidding, right? You gonna use toilet water or something? No thanks.

[ GOD........... He's got this himself. He twists on one of the sink levers at full blast, letting the water warm up as he scowls in the mirror.

-- And glances at Komaeda from it, wondering what the fuck he's even doing. ]

[ Dito's just going to flat out ignore Komaeda for a few seconds, cupping his hands beneath the running blood water (fine, cool, whatever to Dito -- he actively gets a little excited seeing the pink tint in it) to splash off the white...whatever-it-is off of his face.

He scrubs at his arms for a second too, then dabs at his own clothing. Ugh. Disgusting...

Speaking of disgusting, his eyes narrow as he stares at Komaeda from the mirror he's in front of, wondering what the fuck the other is doing and why. Why is he such a freaking weirdo.

Dito splashes his face once more, pushing his bangs back before he abruptly turns off the blood water. Although he feels better already just by virtue of having blood water drip down his face a bit right now.

He also feels like his eyes are preemptively going to roll back into his head, but he turns around anyway, leaning back against the sink counter and resting his elbows on them as he stares almost boredly at Komaeda right now. ]


Only thing I'm afraid of is that bullshit luck of yours.

[ He doesn't trust this, okay!!!

Is Komaeda just gonna hang out in that stall... Dito's staring him down. ]

[ Thx for checking the water blood detail I didn't care enough to do that obv. <3 Dito's brows furrow further as Komaeda does...whatever the fuck he's doing. He doesn't like this. ]

No, asshole. I don't wanna "come" "in".

[ He's just saying. ]

Last thing I wanna see is you pissing or whatever.

[ At least Komaeda's metal hand that's presumably on his cock right now isn't even notable or weird to him. Zero has the same thing, after all. ]

[well, Joshua's been kind of watching the cum-blood saga for a while. it's very interesting, but it's not like he can hide for that much longer when they duck into the bathroom. not like he's hiding, per se, but he's just trying to see what the fuck is up with Dito more or less.

and his twin is involved too, so he's also automatically interested.

Dito may or may not notice Joshua come in -- if he doesn't, he might just look behind him to see Josh sitting on the counter. he made as little noise as possible coming in, but as he crosses his legs and looks at the two, he tilts his head.]


Well, well, someone made a mess of Dito, did they...?

[is that supposed to be an innuendo or what]

He just wants to help, what's the worst that could happen?

[this is terrible already]

[ Well, that's certainly not alarming. Except it is, so Dito whips around only to suddenly notice that Joshua is way too close right behind him on goddamn sinks.

When did he get there, even?! ]


Who the hell--

[ Dito starts, brow knitting in an almost perplexed way. He doesn't really recognize Joshua, because he's never met the other in-person. Just spoken to him on the network a few times.

... But then his attention turns toward Komaeda again, considering Komaeda just starts not shutting up again. ]


I'm gonna hurl if you keep talking like that...

[ He groans in irritation, lifting a hand up to card through his fringe with his fingers as he presses the heel of his palm against his temple. This is very headache inducing, okay. ]

[Dito vs two white hairs who won't shut up...what will they do???

anyway. it just makes Joshua even more intrigued and interested in the situation, honestly. he doesn't get off of his small-ass perch, because he feels like they'll just confuse Dito even more if they're on opposite ends of each other.]


You can call me Joshua. I think we've spoken over text before?

[he doesn't really think, he knows, but sometimes he likes to pretend that he doesn't know more than he does.]

The fact that he hasn't washed it all the way off...I don't suppose you like it on you, do you? Poor Dito, to have such interesting indulgences...

[ jesus christ

Dito's brow furrows more and he defensively takes a step back, accidentally bumping back into the sinks where Joshua is. Which causes him to jolt momentarily, and he turns his head back toward Joshua again momentarily as if to ascertain who he just bumped into, even if he already knows.

God, he really doesn't like anything that's going on right now. His nearest hand moves down to grip tight on his spear again at his waist, and he scowls. ]


The fuck are you talking about?!

[ His knuckles turn white from how hard he's gripping his weapon now. ]

How about I stick my spear inside you instead?

[ That sounds more fun. ]

[. . .

Joshua holds his hands up a bit, as if to try to hold back Dito. but what comes out of his mouth might actually do the opposite here...]


Now that's a little more than most of us would be able to take, I would think.

[please run the spear through him,]

Don't be so concerned about our comments...one would think you'd be trying to suppress something if you become too stubborn.
