( they did put in effort when it came to him... komaeda's not surprised about what he put in, but he'll think of rika's efforts, and exhale slowly. )

That's a strong word, I don't think I've ever heard you use it before.

( or maybe he's heard that word in another life, but part of him feels that if it's something that the other felt, maybe it's not entirely a lie. though, he just doesn't believe rokkun would say something so... from the heart? or maybe he thinks that's what komaeda wants to hear. rokkun is a complimentary liar, his lies work in his favor, and sound nice at the same time... makes you want to thank him. )

You can only choose one, though.

[ Choose one what? a birthday? ]

June.

[ His real one means nothing when he rarely ever lives to see his next birthday, when he's exactly the same year in and year out, when there's nobody else who's ever celebrated it as far as he can remember— not his siblings who were too young to expect anything from them, not his absent parents who he doubts knew the date anyways. November 6 is just another day. ]

No.

( but that's an idea, he wants june compared to his real one? even though komaeda knows it now, but rokkun will be gone the entirety of that month so there isn't anyone to really talk to him about it aside from his doctors, and his sibling is how komaeda even learned so they're able to. without a thought, he hugs rokkun a little tighter, his mechanical hand wrapped around the wrist of his other to keep them up against his back. )

I'll get you a souvenir, and a present... so when you come back, will you visit me?

( he wants to tack on "first", but maybe that's a lot to ask considering rokkun's a very busy man, and komaeda doesn't like making selfish demands either. so he'll let rokkun do what he wants in that regard, when truth be told, the other doesn't have to see him at all. )

[ He can't ask Rokkun to make a choice and then disregard the choice, what

Having his birthday in the hospital's going to be kind of sad, he thinks. It'll be extra work on the staff to update all those paper charts with the correct age and stuff. At least it shouldn't take too long, he thinks... Pre-op, op, post-op, therapy... definitely doesn't want to go back to school but he'll have to. At least it won't be boring at school. ]

I will.

[ He leans into the hug, and returns it— it's a hug that starts off as a squeeze, then relaxes into something more comfortable, one he doesn't wish to ever end. ]

I'll come back to you, Nagito. And when I do, I'll be strong enough to lift you up, like you always do for me.

( the choice was does he want a souvenir or birthday present, but komaeda decided to give him both...

it's difficult to stay in his arms like this, because komaeda doesn't want to like it, knows what happens when he does — something good, and he'll probably hurt himself afterwards. if he thinks of it as bad luck, horrible luck that he's in his arms like this after class, then good luck will weigh out... he shouldn't be able to press his chest against rokkun's chest and remain there satisfied, but he does, and he even closes his eyes as he listens to the rhythm of his heart.

then he has to say the cheesiest stuff which is enough to make komaeda chuckle, no, he hasn't done anything, but it's always been rokkun's hope that worked for him. his hope has always been one of komaeda's favorites. )

You don't have to say such dramatic things... ( he pauses, thoughtful. ) My arms will be empty the entire time you're gone... so you have to fill them upon your return.

( maybe an added note: )

Run back to me, and then pick me up... just like that.

( it might not be the best run, but the run in the making post therapy has to be impressive, and he'd want to see how far rokkun has came. )

[ he's really going to make a crippled man run

not like he hasn't before, and not like Rokkun wouldn't do it again ]

I'll do just that. I promise. In the meantime... take care of Kogamo for me. I don't want either of you to get too lonely.

[ The little shopkeeper will fill up Komaeda's arms and nobody will even have to ask them, he's sure. ]

( yes he is, because that's his crippled man running...

god, how i checked the date on this thread because i wish i could say well "kogamokun will have their arms full with their lover" could have doxxed subaru right here, right now. now being told to take care of npckun, he livens up... )

Oh no... maybe we will die without you so you have to come back...

( he'll take care of npckun, but the also have other people to chew at their time, and komaeda's... annoyingly clingy, this will be a tough void to fill. )

...That side, I'm sure they'll miss you while you're gone. You have to write ( us ) them letters about your progress... biweekly.

Edited 2021-10-24 04:40 (UTC)

That's going to be like... two letters.

[ It's only going to be a month or so? He's not a writer, it's just going to be something like

11/XX
Still alive.
--Rokuro ]

You sound disappointed! Great, that's what I wanted.

( it is, it really is. )

Every three days, I want them to hear from you, can you do that? AraAra-kun.

( is he teasing him? maybe. )

[ He's disappointed but not in—- ]

Like I'm being sent off to summer camp and expected to write weekly letters... I'll still have my PDA, you know. It's not the best for conversations, but at least I can prove I'm still alive.

That is what it's like, they haven't seen you... in quite along time, so I'll message you when I'm with them, then.

( that's what it's all about, not asking about his day, or how he feels, just to learn that he's alive... that sounds sort of horrible in a way, but it is a good idea. what little nails he has left, he tries to dig them into the back of rokkun's shirt, clinging onto him. )

If you aren't drugged up, I could message you about the festival... It might be boring, and I can pass if you aren't interested...

I'd probably find it more interesting if I were drugged up.

[ Just saying. But he smiles over Komaeda's shoulder, bringing a hand up to the back of Komaeda's head. ]

I'd be interested either way. Tell me about all the fun you and Komago have, what your favorite stalls are, what you liked best about it.

( honestly, do not want to see this man drugged up. he just ain't right, but it's the hand on his head, and komaeda blinks because...

...

...

it's a safety gesture, but not like komaeda ever feels safe when rokkun could snap his neck right here, right n — )

Do you think they'll come with me to the stalls? ...I have to share with other people, like Amami-kun, and Akehoshi-kun...

( maybe he's bombing their togetherness, actually. ) Chidouin-san... and Adams-san...

Oh. You surprisingly have a lot of friends.

[ How Komaeda will be so busy he has to share his time with all these other people... ]

I'm sure he won't mind not being with you the entire time. If you ditch Rantarou, you can spend more time with Kogamo instead.

[ It's called compromise ]

( oh, he's so stupid... komaeda sighs, biting the inside of his cheek. )

Not me, your sibling will. They've made a lot of friends while here, they probably have more, but those are... who I recall at this moment.

( and ditch amami?!?! no!! stop that. who would ditch an ultimate like him? )

They'll be surrounded, and probably won't know who to spend their time with! Oh, hm... talking about spending time...

( hmmmmmm... )

[ ... ]

Okay, so you're going to spend the entire time with him, and let me know what you're doing and how much fun you're having.

( ... he just ignored everything komaeda said. )

Is that a request or a command... ( don't know if rokkun doesn't want npckun near amami, or komaeda near amami, or just don't want them around people in general or. )

When's your last day before your medical leave, Rokkun?

( as komaeda was saying. )

[ yes ]

Both. My last day at school is on the 30th, and I check in on the 1st.

[ He can have Halloween if he really wants. ]

( in the tone of: be with me on new year's eve. )

Be with me on Halloween, the entire day.

[ why

He's morbidly curious, but he's not going to turn it down, there's no way he would

unless ]

Do I have to dress up?

I'll dress up too.

( don't worry about it, it's just halloween!!! )

Then on that day, you can have any trick or..... ( he lifts one hand, his nail lightly strokes under rokkun's chin like one would do a cat. ) treat... that you want.

[ why is he like this ]

...alright. I'll think of something.

( thinkin about my failure.

anyway.

ANYWAY.

...

...

...

... )

You should choose time and place, and don't tell me what treat you want... that should be a surprise.

Edited (right thread now :)) 2021-10-28 03:14 (UTC)

[ every thread is just Akki playing dead in the background ]

Here at 8pm?

[ He is NOT going to spend all day in a wombat costume. 8 is dark enough ]

( STOP i'm crying, how he's just in all komaeda's threads now bc that's his new slave... )

...Hm, okay. Don't forget to bring my present.

( he's going to unlatch himself from rokkun, finally.

AND WHO SAID HE HAD TO BE A WOMBAT? I'M KINDA CRYING. )
