[ 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?

...Yeah, I heard he was the best out there.

( if he recalls correctly, he had a lot of people who listened to him on the field, but komaeda never met them so he wouldn't know exactly. )

Did he play soccer when you lived with him?

I don't remember. Probably, since he had a ball. But he'd play outside and I didn't go out there when I was that little.

...Hm. I pinched his cheeks, they're nothing like yours, you have the softest ones...

( what does that have to do with anything? who knows. )

It's because he played rough sports is why he didn't end up as adorable as you.

[ They reach up to pat their own cheeks, like they've never considered this. Can't imagine anybody pinching Aniki's cheeks... ]

Maybe if I did, I'd be taller...

[ growth spurt... come on, please, they're waiting ]

Nope, sports doesn't help you grow taller... I never dedicated myself to one, and I'm plenty tall.

( hm, now that he thinks about it. )

Why not join a sports team when they open back up? I heard among my peers that basketball would be fun, you could try that.

( which means they could jump, and then pretend to be tall. )

[ Why is Komaeda so tall, if his body used less energy growing tall maybe he'd have more energy not being sick ]

Can't. I'm not a student.

( stop, the sickness grew him taller!! let him be, only sick people get tall... )

...Hm? No you're not. Just come with me, we'll get you in one.
