September mini-event pt 2


09/17 06:00

It's early Friday morning, the silence lifted but still a while before npc students will start coming to school. The door to the student store remains locked, despite always being propped open by a doorstop first thing in the morning, like clockwork. In the pool building, the lights automatically switch on for the day, illuminating the water below.

A large black shape floats in the middle of the pool, air trapped in the fabric wrapped and tangled around it.

OOC

[it hurts, but it's familiar too. subaru doesn't draw his hand away, doesn't feel the pain really, and sits a little better before them and amami, raising his other (bandaged, but it's fine, it's fine) to wipe at their face gently.

amami had been free with his nickname, that and maddy's p-kun are something subaru's curious about, but his voice is softer in volume and tone, laced with affection. the way you'd speak to a child, the way his own mother spoke to him on lonely nights when he'd grown exhausted of carrying a burden far too heavy on shoulders far too smalll.]


Keigo~, let's breathe together. In, [and he'll breathe in, and when he exhales--] out. In, [again,] out.

[between this and the gentle squeezes he gives despite the piercing grip, maybe it'll help. though they seem really inconsolable.]

( the less they fight, the less tightly amami holds — arms wrapped around them not to limit them, but to assure them of his presence. with one of his hands, he gently rubs their back, following the rhythm of the breathing that subaru is trying to lead them through.

he stays quiet all the while, lips pressed into a thin line as he tries to reign in his expression.

nothing good will come from panicking, and he can't help them if he can't help himself. he holds his breath for a long moment, trying to be subtler as he forces a thin sheet of calmness over his panicked emotions, attempting to tuck them out of sight. a situation like this though, it's... not something so easily repressed. it's not the same as pushing down his own fears, or his own anger — because kamo-kun is so much more important than that. so amami probably can't settle his expression into anything better than sheer worry, and the traces of fear may even linger in his eyes, but at least he can do away with the outright panic that still beats fast in his chest.

even as he finds himself helpless, again, waiting while subaru tries to offer them that patience that they so clearly need.

( in what ways can he thank natsume without being scolded for doing so, but he doesn't say anything as he finds a smile pulling along his lips as he sees the other stir, as he watches both amami and subaru handle things from here, and he claps his hands together... softly not to take attention but to do something that warrants that this is real, and that there's nothing to worry about.

as on cue — )


There you are!

( actually, komaeda wants to leave... he doesn't want to ruin the moment, but he finds that something may happen if he gets up and leaves from the room... )

Everyone was waiting for you... ah, good morning, and welcome back.

( ... there's a lot going on emotion wise here, and he tries his best to keep a smile. )

They've missed you.

[ He watches as the shopkeeper awakes and acts accordingly, though he doesn't say much at first because...well, he's never spoken to them. He's had no reason to and he's not fond of most of the denizens of this world even if he dare not be anything but polite to them.

Either way, it's good that Keigo was able to be assisted to this extent. Otherwise an innocent life would be lost, and so in the end...

Meng Yao puts on a vaguely concerned but warm expression. ]


...it is certainly a relief that you're still with us.

But in the end you pulled through. As you can see there truly was much concern about your wellbeing.

( the flicker of the gold in those eyes, just for a moment—makes natsume freeze, ready to explode the candle if needed, but it disappears as quickly as it comes and he... is tense, as the rest of them console the crying child; he watches and steals the fire magic from the candle, though it sparks in his fingers and splutters out the moment he does. he frowns at it but, well, fine—

he'll pick up his things, wondering if he should bother to go to class today; it wouldn't be out of sorts for him to miss a day, and subaru would probably want to stay out, being so attached to the little shopkeeper as he was... he moves towards the door, face turning to their little group. )


My job here is DONE, so I'll be taking my LEAVE... Little Shopkeeper, ( he says, attention more firmly on them, ) welcome BACK. Thank you for returning to US.

( ... )

If they fall asleep aGAIN, don't call for ME. I doubt they've had a good REST, so it'll be best to just let them sleep off any exhaustion they might HAVE. Keep an eye on them THOUGH.

( none of them live very far from one another now, he'll just ask for any missing pieces later... it's fine. he's gonna slip out now, don't stop him— )

[there, there. subaru only has eyes for keigo right now, his heart slowly trying to calm itself down, and he presses the other's hand to his cheek, grinning. he's warm, remember? warm and here.]

Take your time. There's no rush, 'cause I'm not leaving you. I said I'd be your star, didn't I? Always there no matter what. [... he feels they're the same, they don't want to show tears around others especially--] You can talk about what happened last night when you feel like it, no one here's gonna push you any.

[still gentle, but relieved and happy.]

And don't let 'em fool you, everyone here played a part in helping you and Ama-chan out. Some of them are just too awkward to accept that~.

( it feels almost intrusive, to be right here while subaru comforts kamo-kun — reassures them. amami, meanwhile, is still fighting against the torrent of guilt that threatens to send cracks all through him as he watches them slowly begin to calm down. he adjusts the way he's holding them, trying to give them more freedom to move, but still selfishly keeping them close.

as the realization begins to sink in that they seem to be okay though, his eyes are starting to sting a little bit, and he's too unwilling to let go of kamo-kun to rub away the tears that threaten to gather. even so... the relief, at least, is honest when they begin to relax a little. the smile that pulls weakly at his lips isn't happy at all, but it's grateful, and he means it wholeheartedly. )


Sorry, Kamo-kun. I was a little bit late, but... you're safe now.

( awkward, is it? komaeda for a brief moment looks to the side, wondering if that's about him before glancing back over. his eyes will meet with npckun's for a moment, and when he thinks about it, in a way... he is happy that the other is conscious. he's not used to accepting these things with him involved, give others the credit so their worth overshadows his, and everything else. he doesn't want his luck to act against them, but he ignores subaru with a small smile as he remains on the cot, contemplating whether he should get up and follow natsume or stay where he is. )

I know it's hard, P-kun, but you have so much hope, ( his words are soft, almost thankful though he doesn't know that himself. hope has always been obvious to him, that as long as people have that... everything will work out fine. ) to still come back to us... of course, like moths drawn to the flame that you emit, having such high hope gave us what we needed to bring you back.

( he'll get up from where he sits (putting lily may on the floor), almost like he's ready to walk out after speaking his piece... but he's in search for a rag, and as soon as he finds one... he'll wet it, and then come back to the cot to sit where he was. holding it out to subaru, he won't say anything aloud, but please wipe away their tears, the sensation has to be sooooo unfortunate at a time like this. )

Amami-kun rallied us accordingly, he wouldn't leave you at all.

"u let em know that subaru wants to stick too and he'll offer to stay nights with them, they can read his astronomy books and hang until they're good" )
