[ Not on the table, and whatever was wrong with him, he...
...
Anyways, he embraces the silence and lets it hang between them. ]
no subject
( it's not like komaeda's unfamiliar with the words he saw in the hospital, problems with the brain and all, his own deteriorating. that's probably why the conversation comes naturally to him. )
I won't tell anyone, hmm... I stayed in the hospital a lot myself.
no subject
[ The quotes are audible in his voice only, but they're still there, words he's echoing but not in agreement to. ]
I can't remember how I died, though. I think... somebody was trying to kill me. Or maybe I did it myself. It could have happened either way.
no subject
( when he says locked up for his safety, komaeda's brain moves to that, someone locked up because of the way his brain worked. the whole story could have been learned within his heart, but it's the hospital and the issues he finds himself able to understand, everything else is asinine. )
Hm... You aren't a lucky one to remember your past deaths, though, maybe ignorance is bliss.
( he'll push the doors open so that they can walk outside towards the dormitory. )
no subject
Thanks. What good would it do to know, though...? Nothing matters after you die, and it's a long time coming, anyways.
no subject
You said it yourself, we're dead and nothing matter, so there's no need to hide it.
( though now that he thinks about it! )
Don't be such a pessimist, you and him are the same... fruit bowl?
no subject
[ He stops short of the door, but after a moment he steps through. What does that mean, fruit bowl? ]
no subject
( it's what he's saying, take it literal is what komaeda wants as he brings narumi to the dormitory kitchen. moving to the sink, he proceeds to watch his hands first, because no one wants people touching food with dirty hands. )
Or are you allergic?
no subject
[ In terms of fruit. Anyways, Narumi goes ahead and sits down on the stool at the counter and unwraps his onigiri, these are conveniently wrapped in plastic wrap so you don't have to touch them with dirty hands, especially when you meant to eat them in a classroom instead of across campus in a dormitory (what would be the point? if he lived on campus, he'd just come back to make lunch and not bother bringing it) ]
no subject
komaeda dries off his hands with a counter towel, making sure that his hands are completely clean before walking over to the freezer to pull out a tray, and on it is a literal bowl with another bowl inside, and ice settled between it. it takes a few good taps on the side to wedge it out, but the bowl comes off the top half, and then the bottom to show an actual bowl of ice that he sits right side up on the tray. the two bowls he used are tossed into the sink, and if narumi squints, he can see that the ice has a few cut up fruits between that looks like strawberries? very thin and small slices. )
Are you lactose intolerant?
( anyway, can't make fruit bowls in the classroom. )
no subject
[ What kind of lunch is he...? frozen strawberry slices? surely there was a less complicated way to do that ]
no subject
( he's going to search for some kiwis and cantaloupe, they might have that, i hope they do because he's going to start cutting them into portions before he pours in the milk. he's making something like this because i rolled a d20 on how bad he'd be fucking this up, and he got a sixteen, so it'll say he puts in pepper, and peppermint for the added flavor because so it has a kick. i'm so sad, make komaeda make his horrible foods, because this is so... )
So what did you want to talk about? This is our time together.
( that komaeda has an idea he didn't really want to talk because he never brought that up at the start. )
no subject
Uh.
[ Correct, he did not want to talk. But he can be polite, until the end of the lunch hour. ]
How have you been?
no subject
...Hm! I've been fine, a little stressed out because finals are coming... what if I fail?
( jk, he's going to pass because it's komaeda, he's a smart kid, but he can make conversation to. )
no subject
[ Honeydew and milk would maybe be okay if blended into a smoothie, but that and watermelon and pepper...
Narumi looks away from the culinary atrocity and takes another bite from his gratefully normal onigiri. ]
You just have to do your best, I guess.
[ The concept of failing is a strange one to him, never having problems with pen-and-paper exams. ]
no subject
( it rolled a 16 so that means it'll be good!! trust komaeda's bad taste buds, i promise you. he'll slide the bowl to narumi because he's interested in his thoughts. )
...Yeah, I hope everyone else can make it! I don't really have to deal with those problems.
( "but he just said," yeah, and he changed everything. )
no subject
[ And he has his own lunch. But he also didn't wash his hands, so he does not touch the bowl of ice to slide it back to Komaeda. ]
no subject
( because narumi sucks and doesn't want to have fun, why are all the third years dead inside...? komaeda's not hurt though, and he fans the cool smoke towards narumi as he eats. )
What do you like, I can try again... Hm... Water works too.
no subject
[ He is not walking across campus with a bowl of ice looking for Hikaru, okay. ]
You don't have to worry about me, seriously. I've brought my own lunch, so you should eat something yourself, while you can.
no subject
I'm not really hungry... I've lost my appetite, but that's normal.
( for people his age as he looks at the onigiri that narumi has... )
Did you make those?
no subject
I did. It's just rice and furikake, though.
[ You pack some rice into a mold and squeeze it tight and it's done, quick and easy and, most importantly, very cheap. ]
no subject
No potatoes this time?
( that's what he should have made, actually, but that's for next time. )
You should make some for Chidouin-san, too. Every time I run into her, she has a hunger that's never satiated.
no subject
[ Like, rice is a staple. Potato is a stable. You use them as bases for actual meals, you don't use them together. ]
I guess I do owe her, though. Do you know what she likes in her onigiri?
no subject
If you had to make a lucky guess... what's your favorite type of paste?
( they're on the right path. )
no subject
Lotus seed, but not in onigiri. Surimi would work, though.
[ Dessert onigiri... Actually that does sound good, Narumi would eat dessert onigiri. ]
