Is it something you would promise?
[ Nagito "deaths are stepping stones towards a more hopeful future" Komaeda ]
...They'll go wherever they go. That's not my problem. But anywhere they go will be better than here, stuck without being able to go anywhere or do anything or be anyone.
no subject
To you, them, or myself? ...I want to help their hopes, that's all I can do for them.
( they sure are rokuro "i tried to die and not even achieve the goal" arata. hm... )
...What are their options if you get them out of here? ( what are the places other than here? they have been locked up for so long. ) Heaven? Hell? Do they turn into butterflies and watch after their loved ones?
no subject
I don't know. It depends on what you believe in, I guess. [ maybe heaven, maybe hell, maybe the oblivion of nothing at all ]
What do you think? ...Or want to think?
no subject
...It doesn't matter where trash like me ends up, I'm just debris scattered in the ocean going wherever the currents decide.
( and that makes him sigh slightly sad. )
As for them... They don't want heaven, or hell, then again some of them were dead before coming here...
( ishimaru-kun, this causes a small frown... ugh his ultimate, but he looks up at the sky darkening. he takes a deep breath as he enjoys the peace. ) ...They'd want what you want: to go back home, to carry on what they couldn't.
no subject
[ Not likely, either, but not impossible— it's what he holds onto, anyways, going back, slotting himself in a time and place where he went the other way, where he had won the coin toss. ]
That's not my role in all of this, though, so all of this is just speculation and nothing else.
no subject
( quickly, he swallows down the saliva in his throat so that he doesn't slob. it's always exciting when it comes to a person's hope, the things that they do, how hopeful it is considering rokkun does everything on his own. it can't make komaeda stop from reaching out to rokkun, both his hands grabbing one of his as he looks up at him curious, he almost feels like he's on cloud nine. maybe he should be grateful that it's dark enough so the flush visible on his cheeks isn't seen... maybe. )
...How many times have you tried this goal of yours? I want to see it through! Is there anything I can do, hm... let me in...
no subject
Nothing on this large a scale. It's the sort of thing I can only try once, anyways, or people will try to stop me.
[ But there have been attempts in the past. So many troubleshooting trial. He had died often. ]
All you need to do is be you. Reach out to as many people as you can. If you can make them feel "hope," and everything on my end goes well, I know we can do this right.
no subject
( the tight grip that he had on rokkun's hand lessens, but he continues to hold onto him as he thinks about the sort of hope he should spread. with all the people within the school, he could do various things, but it's whether they accept that hope, and use it to move forward. some hate what he's done, others can hardly understand it, some would rather not have hope at all. )
What do you have to do? I understand my side of things...
( it's not really anything he's not used to, it's the norm, but hope is an important factor in his life. )
Why don't you let me do what you're doing... you must be tired, and if it's for you ( r hope, ) ...then I'll take part in that as well.
no subject
[ Hmm... his role in all of this? ... ]
Right now it's physical therapy. I need to be able to move like I used to, first of all.
[ Needs to get faster, stronger, better... All in all, it's a waiting game. ]
And I need to survive until graduation. These are things I have to do for myself, so if you want to do something for me, just... live.
no subject
( to live is asking too much of him, and it's unfortunate, but maybe he should be more direct. )
You know this school is... different, and you understand the weak points... you can give me something to play around with, can't you?
( of course, hearing the thing about therapy makes him stop, he reaches out with his organic hand, and he touches the area of rokkun's neck. it's probably still sensitive, so he presses just a bit... )
Come with me to my locker... you don't have the money to fix that, do you? You can take this as a chance to leave me, doesn't it sound exciting?
no subject
but it's his neck that Komaeda touches, that makes him swallow at the pressure even though it hurts more when his adam's apple moves under Komaeda's fingers. ]
No...? I don't want to leave you. I would never...
no subject
color komaeda curious as he touches the sensitive area, recalls a time where the other didn't have these... nicks in his appearance. they're not meant to set him back, but he wonders what life would've been for him had komaeda not shown any sort of...
... )
You want your strength back, don't you? It must be horrible since we're suffering in purgatory already, and you can't even enjoy yourself... I'll permit you to leave me... just this once.
( only one time )
no subject
Why does this feel like I'm being kicked out onto the curb?
[ This feels like the opposite of getting stronger, actually ]
no subject
It's because you don't like to ask for help, that's why it does.
( stop being a baby, oh i'm sick. )
Give me your hands.
no subject
he does hold out his hands, though, with this uncertain look like he can't imagine what Komaeda plans to do. Hurl him off the rooftop, maybe. ]
no subject
...
he's going to hold the other's hands into his own, gently like he's trying to figure out how to go about this as well. )
Shall we dance?
( ... )
no subject
[ Is this supposed to make him stronger or is this part of being kicked out, he can't tell and he suspects this is just another topic shift and he should stop being surprised every time it happens. ]
To what music?
[ If you say 1-D he will crush every bone in Komaeda's hands is2g ]
no subject
...If you keep it our secret, I'll sing for you.
( he is the holder of megumi ogata's voice, and he doesn't mind serenading just this one time. the sky has already gave its curtain call, and they're on the roof, and he guesses if rokkun won't come with him to his locker...
he'll continue growing in his own way, and komaeda's actually happy with that decision. sighs, his hope. )
We don't have to, though. We could do this on New Years.
no subject
I can't promise to keep it a secret on New Years. Besides, I wouldn't pass up the chance to have you(r singing) all to myself.
no subject
If that's the case... I'd have to give my efforts to others, which would cut your time in half...
( actually, he just wouldn't do it at all, say that his voice would cause people ears to bleed, and move on. slowly, he slips his fingers through the cracks of rokkun's own, laced tight enough so he can't slip away. )
So tonight... ( he gazes down at their hands wondering if the other will pull away, almost like he's biding his time. )
...I only want you to listen to me, ah... is that too selfish?
no subject
There's nothing wrong with selfishness.
[ It's an Arata family trait... These people who set their minds on something and proceed to do what they want, caring little for whether it's allowed or deserved or any of that. And what he wants, in this moment, is to have Komaeda to himself, giving those hands a gentle squeeze, stepping in to bring himself closer, looking up into Komaeda's eyes and then down at
anyways, we're going to leave it here ]
no subject
no subject
no subject
hes never been selfish, or people will say that he forces his own beliefs onto others which is enough to say is selfishness. to him, he couldn't stomach the thought —
he'll close his eyes after he exchanges glances with the other, and his heart beats normally despite how close they are. this doesn't feel like a familiar thing, and yet it comes with ease, maybe it's because of who it is, and the hope that he harbors...
his lips part, inhaling slow, and then he sings softly where it's only audible between the two of them, "asu wo [...]" )
"We can see again tomorrow," I laughed, short-lived cherry blossoms within my heart. ♪
( sighs as i use this icon, eat your heart out rokkun. )
no subject
also stop... me sighing as i play his song in the bg... Rokkun's heart can beat faster for the both of them, alternating his attention on the song itself and just... the fact that this is even happening in the first place, when he never would have thought... or hoped to dream...
It makes him feel a little bit like crying, actually, though he can't imagine why. They're just holding hands, not even dancing, and he can't find it in himself to lean in and interrupt. ]
