この気持ち…伝わってるといいんすけどね (12/31)

Who: Hajime Hinata & friends
What: Happy birthday, Hinata-kun!
When: December 31, 9PM~
Where: School roof
Warnings: N/A, TBE

( there's various hidden signs that point towards the elevator, and if anyone catches sight, they'll see an arrow that points up, indicating for them to take it skyward. if they get off too early, there's a sign on the floor that reads, "next stop!", so if they dare, they can go back into the elevator and do as the words command. upon making your way to the rooftop on new year's eve, the setup is immediately apparent.

a number of glittering, sparkling decorations line the area — streamers, balloons, music, and a brightly colored sign the reads: happy birthday hinachan. at the heart of the setup is a bonfire that reaches almost shoulder-height — properly set up to make sure it doesn't spread anywhere further than its containment area, it sets a festive tone.

"borrowed" desks are also covered in an array of treats and appetizers courtesy of nene and amami, as well as enough love setsugetsukka to "make 3 people black out," which is probably enough to share if nobody gets too ambitious. the cake at the center of it all is the real star of the show however, almost as big as a person all on it's own.

to top it all off, even under the dim glow of the stars, nobody is short of a little light when natsume and noah's dazzling light show begins. once the main event has closed, a variety of firecrackers are brought out to celebrate with as things begin to wind down. varieties include the classic sparklers, these little spinny bitches, funky little sparkshowers, some little baby rockets, with the larger varieties spanning a couple feet at most. on the opposite side, there's a little table where a birdhouse is kept, and inside stuffed with all sorts of cotton and wood shavings are two birds huddled together inside, and a few treats that people can feed them if interest. if keigo looks at your character from afar, it's fine, that birdhouse they're living in was made by them, after all.

and at the centre of it all will be one boy with a bag over his head, kidnapped by rokuro arata, who sits him down and lets komaeda undo his blindfold — happy birthday, hinata-kun! )

( he's- he's hiding- where's his scarf? why is he- why did this happen? he was fine, earlier, he was- tears are welling up and she can't blink them away entirely. but. he-

shin's changing the subject.




okay. okay. she- he doesn't want to talk about it, she can understand that- she can't, actually, but she's? her thoughts are scrambled and she doesn't know what to do. after a long moment of trying to find where to look that isn't the bruise, nene reaches out and gently wraps her hand around his- the one not raised.

it's... okay. it's not. but it's okay. )

He seems happy... at... least...

[Wash down subject change with more subject change... it's not working. She's... she's crying, oh no. Change of tack?]

Ah, i-it's fine, I'm okay, see? Ranger had a look at me... Gave me a clean bill of health and everything... I-it's just a bruise, that's all.

[He's bending like a concerned willow, and really hoping she didn't get a chance to see it's shape. It's not just a bruise, but he is being monitored for things going tits up, and is relatively lucky in the extent of the damage. He's not going to die of sequelae.]

I- um. Do you have your PDA?

[He could... get out his own actually, save his throat a bit. As long as he doesn't forget not to press send, it's a good idea... but she's squeezing his hand and without a third arm he's a little stuck. He can at least squeeze back, give her reassurance there. A pulse of weak grip, then steady, she can pull away when she needs to.]

( oh- right, they should- he needs to rest. nene pulls out her pda, and then pauses before digging out her phone instead. much more private, much less risky. does he also have one? with one final squeeze of his hand, she lets go so he can... check? pull it out if he does? she doesn't know. )

[personal profile] notsosou 2022-01-06 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, her phone... that does make it a lot easier. It's pretty fair to assume Ranger didn't steal his, so he pulls out his own.

He'll open up the contacts section with a thumb (it has Komaeda and Rantaro's numbers already in it, if Nene cares for those), and holds it over to her with a ? expression.]

( right! right. nene puts in her number immediately and shoots herself a message, before looking up between her own phone screen to shin rapidly, trying not to linger on the harm done to him, but- but- chewing her lip, she looks away and lets her hair fall to shield them both. so he doesn't have to see how she looks at him with such concern, and she doesn't have to try and parse together the size of the bruises.

or

no. no she can't just wait about this. )


what happened
notsosou: A man staring pensively down, face half in shadow (Don't You Feel Anything)

[personal profile] notsosou 2022-01-12 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[He glances away himself, watching the party without really seeing it more than that constantly running threat-assessment allows before looking down at the screen wondering what even to say. What would even be plausible, given a handprint kind of speaks for itself? That concern hurts... especially because he put it there. Eventually he types:]

It's not a big deal... Just a small fight. It got sorted out, so it won't happen again.

[There, that should reassure her, right? ...It absolutely didn't get sorted out, and the possibility of it happening again is responsible for 90% of Shin's high-keyed state.]

( a fight- a fight that ended with bruises on his neck. choking? that has to be it... she remembers being swallowed up by thick slime at the tea party, remembers choking on her own coughs in the hospital, and that wasn't the feeling of a hand on her throat, of being forced down- she can't imagine how scared he was.

but

he clearly doesn't want to talk about it.
maybe he shouldn't yet? should she indulge that? fuck. ... fine. for now, she'll... .... not quite change the subject, but focus on something else. his scarf is gone, she never sees him without it. and he was choked. s-so... are they connected? )


what happened to your scarf?
notsosou: A teal-haired man looking to the side pensively. (Contemplative)

[personal profile] notsosou 2022-01-26 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[That has him glancing up and scanning the rooftop again before coming back to the keys. It really isn't here... which means Sara probably has it.]

Must have forgotten it... Guess someone picked it up, huh? Maybe it's that Komaeda again, he's always doing that kind of thing.

[Stealing Shin's clothes, although not the scarf, yet. He's not mentioned the second copy of it, stashed away under his bed where he doesn't have to look at it. There's a small pause as he looks at Nene, head ducked down.]

...

Sorry for worrying you.

[personal profile] mermaidcursed 2022-01-27 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
( she's literally never seen him without his scarf. this is. hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but okay. okay! ...

quietly, she tugs at his hand- follow her? )
notsosou: A teal haired man looking somewhat shocked. (Concerned)

[personal profile] notsosou 2022-01-28 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
Hm?

[That one aloud just by habit. His fear scratches at the back of his brain with both sets of claws but... it's just Nene. It's only Nene. She's not luring him somewhere to murder him... probably.

Probably.

Probably.]


Err... w-where are we going?

[He's following though, the other hand with his phone still in it automatically going to his lack of a scarf before falling.]

( the couple flights of stairs probably aren't too reassuring- but shin might realize they're at the craft room, and nene lets go to dig through various shelves until... ah. there's the comfy yarn. hell yeah.

nene points to the different bundles of color, before pointing to shin: "pick one". )
notsosou: A teal-haired man casually speaking to the viewer. (I'm Just Saying)

[personal profile] notsosou 2022-01-30 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[The craft room in which there is a large bolt of purple cloth Shin's going to steal from in the not-so-distant future.

He glances at Nene and then back down at the yarn, fiddling with his collar. It's not hard to work out she's planning to make something... if he's supposed to pick, is it something for him? A scarf? Nene... she doesn't have to. That's a lot of work just because he 'forgot' his... Knowing her she won't be dissuaded, either.

His hand goes out, hovering, sorting through... What colour to pick? Blue or red is right out... purple is okay... It eventually settles on a mint green, just like her hair and soft to the touch, and he pulls it out with that ? expression. Seems good? He doesn't know anything about what yarn is good for this sort of thing...]

[personal profile] mermaidcursed 2022-01-30 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
( oh! that's cute, it'll go with his hair and beanies- greens go well together after all. nene doesn't quite realize it's her green just yet. with a nod and a smile, she grabs the ball of yarn and stuffs it into her bag- she can probably work on it throughout the party, scarves don't talk too long at all. she can have it done for him before midnight, even! )
notsosou: A man staring at the viewer in disbelief (What)

[personal profile] notsosou 2022-01-31 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Holy shit she's a knitting machine. He's going to catch occasional glimpses of her and it's going to be longer every time what is this wizardry.]
mermaidcursed: (005)

[personal profile] mermaidcursed 2022-01-31 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
( not even that, scarves are just small. it's still a several hour endeavor, though she's happy to sit to the side and just knit while the others talk and have fun. maybe in that time shin will get into more fights or something, i don't know. maybe not. the night is young. )

[dsfdg at some point amongst other things he does get punched by Joe, so the next time he shows up he's got a black eye starting to develop, things have not been going well for him the past two days.

Eventually he gravitates back to Nene to hang out next to her which is why they're relatively near each other when the countdown and blackout hits.]

( and when he does, nene happily wraps the finished product loosely around his neck. she smiles a bit ruefully, but... well. he's got a shield again... she just wishes there wasn't something to hide for once. once it's there, she squeezes one of his hands in hers, despite feeling so much smaller than him, and looks up at him as she sends a message. )

be safe, okay?
