[ hm!!! ]

If you fall asleep in the middle of making the castle, I'm going to draw on your face.

( Aw, no, this is totally reasonable— )

That's not how fortunetelling WORKS, Sato-san. ( haha, ) Not exactly, at LEAST... But I've been looking into that very thing the past couple of MONTHS. I want to know who did it to YOU, and how they did IT...

( ... )

Especially because you aren't the only person whose soul has been messed WITH. Last MONTH, there was some soul switching aROUND. I hardly know where to be... ( ...gin, that's what he's thinking, but. ) Well, NO. I was advised to investigate the CULT, but Goto-kun said they haven't learned anything too high-leVELED. I suppose Goto-kun could be a liar THOUGH.

Oooh, unforgiving~. Make sure you sign your masterpiece when you're done!

[a beat as his eyes glance around, just to make sure there's no one else-- before he ducks closer to kiss their cheek as a parting gift.]

I'll meet you in ten.

[which should... theoretically... give him just enough of a deadline not to fall asleep making the thing, since he's going to need to borrow some of his roommates' sheets to tuck against the bunkbed and make more of a lean-to than anything]

Not that sort of embarrassing.

[ Not like how Komaeda is being embarrassing, how Rokkun both shivers and flushes at the light touch on his face.

He puts his hand on the pda, but only to lower it. ]

Do you remember I told you that you saved me? And that when I first got here, I was... [ ... ] Basically I couldn't see the point of anything, anymore, since I had failed and died and left behind everything that mattered. Then I met you, and you opened my eyes, and I realized I couldn't give up.

[ You ever meet a guy and he says some shit and you're just "oh I've got to get out of here no matter what it takes" that's how it went ]

[ Oh. Their hand rises to their cheek after he does that, not to wipe it off but feeling the flush under their palm and thinking something about holding the kiss there for even a moment longer as Subaru leaves but that's silly and they let their hand drop. ]

Be there in ten!

[ They're going to spend the next ten minutes eating the rest of their curry and also Subaru's curry and then leaving the plates in the sink to soak, they only need a minute to tuck their pillows under one arm and steal Amami's too and fold the blanket in half to drape over their shoulders and carry everything over like that. Knock knock knock on Subaru's door with the side of their foot. ]

[ wha- ]

No!! I mean kiss me again so I don't get hurt and recede and return to a solitary life and die alone!

Very telling profesSIONS.

( Which is the only reason why he wanted to know: the things people want to be, or figured they might become, say something about them. Maya's is that she likes telling people what to do and being judgmental, but it also shows she wants to be in a position to help people under her. That's not really too different from now, either.

The stars start to steadily wind down in number, signalling the peak's past and the end of the astronomical phenomenon sooner rather than later. It's too bad he can't look at her without needing to turn his head, but that's the price he pays. )

Fortuneteller is the only thing I ever wanted to BE, and then I was forced into a vocational high school to become an idol by my paRENTS. My daddy wanted me to become someone who could control the hearts of the masses using the fame that came with being an idol in addition to the skills I had already started honing working alongside my momMY.

( There's only one other person who knows this piece of information, and it's Subaru; they're being shared for vastly different reasons, though. )

I've never held such lofty DREAMS. ( He only wanted to help people; he still only wants to help people. ) But I wouldn't mind it eiTHER.

( ... )

The meteor shower's halfway oVER. Did you eat before you came to SCHOOL?

[ ... ]

Everything matters.

( ugh good taste i love andes chocolates, makes a note to buy some on sunday when i'm at work...

The pot is definitely too big but it's better too have too much than too little, so it's fine. He'll take it from her, she's not allowed to do anything with the stove................ )

Measuring cups, YES. And the biggest wooden spoon you can find—that'll be your wand for stirring together this graveyard poTION.

( It does.

It's also nice to hear it from someone who's ancient. Even if that someone wants to take a nibble on students. )

Ahaha... Thank YOU. I've been... ( ... ) No, never MIND. What do you do with the pruNINGS?

( moving RIGHT OFF the existential express. )

[honestly that's mostly what he thought they'd use the ten on, unimpeded by their touchy, talkative star, and there's a bang and a wince a moment after keigo knocks, some... shuffling... before subaru peeks it open, a red spot high on his brow.]

You didn't hear anything. [okay.] Welcome to your kingdom, my prince~.

[he'll pull open the door, and... it isn't a castle really; he's got it mostly supported on one side by tying it to the bunkbed, but there's missing pillows from helena and aira's beds that're pinning out the space beneath the tri-blanket lean-to fort, very much a tall tent and not at all like the small, cozy forts made beneath chairs and the like.

they can use additional blanket as part of their bedding once subaru lifts an edge to let them in, the dying light of the day still enough to glow past the blankets and give it a warm, inviting feeling.]

Can you tell, before it begins? Like you can with the rain - I want to make sure all my friends stay warm.

[the leaf he's given her goes in her pocket....just because.]

And you as well, of course.

...Rokkun?

( his name slowly leaves from komaeda's lips when he lowers the pda. color him surprised as he places it next to his legs on the ground, he wouldn't have minded if rokkun explain through that means, but hearing how he gave up, at one point felt hopeless enough to the point that his only option had to be... )

Ahaha... It's like I gave you a purpose.

( komaeda doesn't recall anything like that, and this could all be made up for the sake of his imagination, it could... yet, he runs his fingers through the male's hair slowly. with a sigh, he wishes he had something he could lean against, and instead )

I hope the me then loved your hope as much as the me now does... ( he chuckles, sheepish as he continues: ) ...I'm glad that we were able to see each other this year, Rokkun. ( he hums softly, thinking on his words, how rokkun always remembers and in turn, komaeda can't even piece together the past because of his faulty memory. ) If there were memory totems, I believe... I'd take one just so I could remember what I've done with you.

( small smile. )

That's what you meant...

( aratas are so obsessed with kisses... )

Close your eyes.

ok well... amami will use it, because "very good" for encouraging growth sounds promising to the idiot who wants to make his plants climb very high, very big, and very fast, and also because their water is already pink so what could be the harm... he'll also want to ask if there's a reason why some students are still being trapped in the building even though they were supposed to have resolved that boundary earlier, but maybe this needs its own thread... let me know!!

Kamo-kun — Aside from the houseplants and supplies, Amami's also going to ask about ET, Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Grease, and Sixth Sense so they can have more movies to watch. They can put them in the dorm common room after they watch them, so everybody can see them next time there's a sleepover. He'll also ask if Kamo-kun would be willing to pick up some books on sign language for him, since he wants to practice. (He knows he can get these at the library but he's also trying to go for 2 birds here...)

Chiaki — He's going to want to offer to bring her lunch or try and set her up with anything she needs since she's stuck in the building for now and honestly, he knows the feeling, it sucks. But she looked out for a friend of his before, so he wants to pay that back if he can.

Akari — Remember when he got stabbed at the start of the month... So he'll probably make regular visits just to get his rib checked on and any meds or painkillers she's willing to give him. He fell down the stairs... again... it's fine.

Kazuki doesn't know about the barrier and suggests Amami ask the person who set it up, aka counselor-kun who he might suspect will dodge around telling him anything and he'd be correct.

Keigo will get him all those movies except ET because they looked at the jacket cover and got freaked out over ET's face, this movie gave me nightmares as a kid. They'll get him books on sign language only if he practices with them because they like learning new things too

Chiaki will be happy to be fed... Every time she's going to offer to give him dance lessons as repayment ('':

Akari's going to cover him up in bubble wrap someday

[ npckun obediently closes their eyes and stands a little taller in anticipation, do NOT run away ]

( stares at them closing their eyes, and he could run, HE COULD, but he stays where he is...

kisses their forehead, ruffles hair...

combination. )

[ no............... not how this turned out cute despite my apprehensions

npckun still jumps a little when Komaeda touches the top of their head, but it doesn't happen with the forehead kiss and they keep their eyes closed after because you're not supposed to open your eyes unless the other person says so and they look sooooooo happy, like they've forgotten whatever they had wanted to talk about, that doesn't matter anymore, they're winning ]

Practicing with Kamo-kun makes him light up at least a hundred lux — they'll learn together. He'll also agree to dance lessons sooner or later as long as Akari gives him good painkillers and I'm allowed to pester Chiaki one (1) time...

deal

[ It's kind of hard to admit that the him of back then had little to no hope at all, when Komaeda always talks about how that's the one thing that he loved about him. It's true, though, that Komaeda is the one who made that spark happen, and the hope that grew from that told Rokkun that the thing to do is to literally forget the fact that he is dead, and get on with living instead.

And now here he is. Here they are. ]

Me too. I'm glad I have you in my final year.

[ They weren't all good memories. You can't really expect that in a place like this anyways, but it makes the good ones stand out. ]

But it's okay if you don't remember. You don't have to subject yourself to that sort of thing to remember... For me, holding onto the memories we're making this year is more than enough.

You needn't worry about me, lass. The cold will not hit for few more weeks. You will be able to tell because the air is crisp, and it is quiet. You would be able to stand where you are and hear the leaves rustling in the forest out yonder.

[ you can tell it's going to be very cold when it gets colder, or something. I usually expect first snow around mid-November. ]

( where's the faith in him.........................

they jump, but komaeda keeps his hand there, thinking he can probably ease them into it if he does this. everything little touch on the head, komaeda will press a kiss on their forehead — that's how wholesome conditioning works. )

What are you smiling like that for?

( he teases, even though he wears a smile himself, that doesn't mean he's any less worried. )

[ Okay, they can pretend they didn't hear anything but they can still see that red spot, so as soon as they're inside, they take Subaru's hands to pull him down slightly while they stand up on their tippy toes and plants a kiss on that spot. ]

This is the customary greeting of the kingdom of, um... [ quick, what's a foreign kingdom sounding name ] Saransk.
