( 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 ]

( 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. )

[ wholesome conditioning... gotta wholesome condition myself to write cute threads without the growing apprehension ]

Because my hope isn't up there, so that means you're kissing me! That means you love me!

[ Them!! Not their hope!! That they harbor! ]

( yes... komaeda is being good, he's terrorizing others.... so your npcs are free for awhile... cute threads!! )

...? You still don't get it, but it's fine... you'll learn sooner or later.

( because komaeda's body is trash, so whatever it does doesn't matter as long as it dies for hope. )

To write that sort of narration on me... don't you think it's unfair. Now, do you want to see something interesting?

It's not unfair because it's the truth.

[ npckun said it and so it must be right. ]

What is it?

Akehoshi-kun is asking for advice on how to date you, do you want to see?

( cat's out of the bag... )

[ where is his pda, grabby hands for his pda ]

Ah, ah... ah!

( what are they looking for? stop that... )

Where are your manners?

[ fine ]

I want to see, Abba! Pleeeeeeaase!

Ah! You called me that again, so better than that... I'll read it aloud to you.

( he pulls out his pda, going to this post specifically where he stands up so that npckun can't take the device. )

"Help! A friend of mine recently got into their very first relationship!" ( he feigns as gasp, looking over to npckun. ) "and they're too scared to ask the forums for advice themselves, so they're making me do it!" ...Ah, poor Denko being the one to explain the news to everyone on the network.

( he laughs, shaking his head. ) What do you think so far?

[ Wow, tall people suck, he'd better not be changing any words ]

Denko? Who? And tell Subaru I'm not scared!

[ Subaru's the one posting this asking for advice supposedly on their behalf?? this is what he's making it sound like ]

It was a face that resembled a college girl, and it was the love story of her, and her stalker.

( he'll pass the pda over to npckun, now they're able to read everything. )

I believe... he's scared, of loving you properly, of hurting you, and so he asked for advice.

What?

[ npckun holds the PDA, thumb rubbing on the side of the screen in a blank spot to keep it from turning off ]

Subaru is stalking a college girl...?

[ PLEASE what's the context, they feel like they missed something ]

...No.

( luckily for them, it's just the story of a girl named denko, and the narrator being a stalker. komaeda can teach them at a later date. )

If you look through the post, you can see where his peers were giving advice, is there anyone's whose stand out?

[ Looking back down at the PDA, they scan the toplevels for people's names that they know— which is basically only Komaeda's, and...

... ]

I can't die yet.

...You only read mine.

( he's the only one who mentioned death, and it's not wrong of npckun to read komaeda's first if that's the case. he comes next to them, scrolling through the pda as he stops at his comment. )

That was about Akehoshi-kun. ( yep. ) You're complicated, so you can't can't.

( he points to ajax's comment. ) What do you think of what he said?

[ They think he wrote too much

...

...

They think— hopes... Ajax is wrong, and Subaru doesn't like them just because they're cute. Because they are cute, that's the point, but, mm...

There's a lot of thoughts, but they skip to the very end and points at the last paragraph ]

He also thinks Subaru should die?

Oh, don't worry, Chakkun is weird like that, he believes in strength, and becoming stronger from the battle...

( yeah, childe gets off on this, but his words do hold some merit. )

Affection doesn't have to build your relationship, he believes, but he also doesn't understand love properly... so he's an anomaly.

( though, he did put more thought in his views than some others did, and there's also amami on the post, but maybe that's for later. ) Are there any methods you agree with here?

[ People who understand love are the anomaly, they think, but maybe only to make themselves feel better, because they can't be the only one stumbling through something like this.

But talking, listening, kissing, cooking, spending time, all that is stuff they already do, and it sort of feels... you know. Ehh... ]

...I don't think he has to do anything special. As long as he's there, I don't care if we're just lying on the ground staring at the ceiling.

[ To them, the being there is the most important ]

Now now... that's a very simplistic route to take for you and him.

( and yet, it's probably the best one by far. he lifts up his hands to protect himself before they fall down to his lap, and he stares at the pda in their hand. )

I won't force you to do anything you don't want, it's not my story that's being written.

( he closed his awhile ago, anyway. )

I do what I want. You don't ever force me.

[ Instead he terrorizes them with the what ifs of breakup ]

You do, which means you'll always make mistakes.

( is he challenging? no. no... )

Are you going to tell your brother about him?

[ wow! they're perfect in every single way, they don't make mistakes ]

...No.

[ Can't, Subaru's only saved bc future threads exist where Rokkun doesn't wish death upon him ]

I want to get to know him first— just me and him, nobody else. He was soccer captain, did you know that?
