yogen | i don't want to survive, i want to live

Who: Yes
What: Movie Night + Slumber Party
When: 9/11, Saturday Evening
Where: Dorm Common Room
Warnings: A ridiculous amount of Fluff, probably

( it starts out small. a need for comfort food, and a need for something heartfelt but silly and fun, something genuine and kind. ... and, well, she did find a weird. bootleg vhs set of her favorite movie series, hamster space wars. but the dorm is only barely furnished- and it's not like they can just go out and buy a tv or anything. honestly she completely doubts there's even anything beyond the woods. but she remembers a teacher playing the thing and other stuff in the first month of all of this.

it's so long ago...

but there's a television and a vhs player in the school. and nene... nene's tired and sad and is currently out of fucks to give, so at some point in the day, after everyone else has left, nene has returned to the school and, uh. "borrowed" both things. it's fine. they just have to get it back in by sunday evening. don't worry about it. like, it's definitely heavy but she's a tough cookie who tills soil and everything, and also sara and noah both witnessed everything and are accomplices by default, so they had to help carry things too.

(they were completely happy to help on both accounts, she asked very nicely.)

so the "borrowed" television is set up across from one of the larger couches, and the vhs on top of it. she had cookies in the oven, donuts and hot chocolate made and popcorn popped. the common room paintings are covered with sheets of cloth. all that was left was something cozy- but at this point, nene's made so many little cushions and blankets and even cozy pjs that that's super easy. all that was left was letting anyone who wanted to come know too. so at some point in the halls, nene walks down calling out: )

Cartoons in the common room! Bring blankets and stuff!

( and, so everyone knows what their characters are getting into: hamster space wars is a movie series about different factions of hamsters that have been trying for cross planetary peace for ages now, with a villainous faction having sabotaged the final negotiations so they can control the war from the shadows to make the most money and also get the most seeds (Very Decadent). the first movie follows the main hamster and his little group trying to escape the villains after having witnessed the sabotage, and are trying to avoid assassination and end the war for good. the sequels follow allied factions, with hamster galactic wars being the Thrilling Conclusion.

it's heartfelt. it's silly. it's very cute. nene loves it. )

[ All of the reasons why this is a terrible idea are flashing through her head rapidly. She can only hope that the misunderstanding can be cleared up later...

Her eyes flicker rapidly back to Elizabeth and back to Rantarou again and again. Curse that smile! She's going to get back at you for this, Elizabeth!

But god... what does she say? How can she propose love... or at least, in Elizabeth's words, "summon all the good feelings in your heart you have for your fellow students" in the most platonic way possible?

...she must stand there for at least a few minutes until... ]

I-I... l-like you!

[ ...in the end that's the best that's gonna come out of her. She can already feel herself dying from shame. ]

( oh, yeah, this is real awkward. he feels like he should say something, but then again, she's the one who approached him, right? so he just kind of... follows her gaze over to liz, glances back to her, and... yeah. have some mercy, liz, look at the poor girl struggling! anyway, the "confession" comes out, and his smile falls somewhere between sheepish and apologetic. he scratches at the back of his neck like he's not wholly sure what to do. )

Oh, okay, I think I see how this is.

( even if it is still a little bit startling to hear some kind of, uh, declaration come at him like that. actually, this could have been so much worse for them both, but ratting out liz might have saved her. )

Um, thanks. It looks like Elizabeth is really putting you through the wringer on this one, huh? ( at the very least, he does sound sympathetic to her plight. )

It's fine, I get it, so don't worry too much. I think she just looks forward to this stuff herself, so she might get carried away a bit too easily.

( she's like a little alien, learning their human ways. kinda endearing, if you think about it. )

[ Hah... she lets out a sigh of relief when she sees that he understands what's going on. Her face is still flushed, mind you, but man this could be going so much worse. Being dared to do something like this is too much for her poor tsun heart. ]

Hah... yeah, thanks...

[ She really is like a little alien, huh? Yuzu'll figure that out with time, but at the moment, she's just still getting adjusted to how weird some people here are. ]

I'm Yuzu, by the way... [ She laughs a bit... wow, imagine 'confessing' before you even introduce your own name. At the very least, it's definitely memorable. ]

( he was going to introduce himself back, but then he remembered it's after dark, and now he's not. instead he just smiles. )

Nice to meet you. Not sure if you were around when we brought it up last, but remember to be careful with your name, yeah?

( honestly, he's not sure how much stock he's putting in that, but the source of that warning is looking pretty okay for now. amami's not sure what he'd have to gain from lying about that anyway. but, well, it's clear he's not thinking too hard on it regardless, focusing on what's up right now as he continues. )

Confessions aside, you having fun?

Careful with my name...?

[ That's... some strange advice to give. Still, the conversation shifts, so she'll shift with it. ]

Definitely... I've needed something like this for a while.

( oh, she seems confused. with an apologetic smile, he can backtrack a bit. )

You're not supposed to say it at night — your name, according to a friend of mine.

( must've been mentioned before she got here, he guesses. but that's why it's good to bring it up now. )

That's good though. We might be living in a school, but it's important to relax once in a while.

( the younger transfers like yuzu especially deserve it, honestly. )

Oh, really...?

[ Definitely the first she's heard of it... but good to know, she supposes. She's not sure why, but with how supernatural everything at this school already is, it's not too crazy of a thought that something bad might happen. ]

I'll keep that in mind then...

Yeah. Don't let it worry you too much though, I'd hate to put a damper on the good mood tonight.

( he tries to offer a reassuring smile — obviously, he didn't expect the topic to linger, but just wanted to point it out. in an effort to set things right, he'll gesture with a free hand. )

How've the rest of your dares been goin'? Give out any good ones?

Aha, it's been alright, but still a lot of fun!

[ Which was definitely a welcome change of pace, that's for sure. ]

And no, not yet, what about you?
