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! )

You don't have to be jealous. I love you too.

[ They hang onto his arm while in the elevator, pressing themselves against the bar along the wall like they would not have gotten into this metal deathtrap by choice but they'll do it because he's here. ]

You know, you're pretty much the only person who talks to me about this stuff, and the only one that takes me seriously. Who sees me as me.

[ Because for all everybody else says, they're "a little brother" to Amami who wants to protect them and help them grow, "a boyfriend" to Subaru who lifts them up and constantly expands their world, "a shopkeep" to everybody else, and it colors who they are in their eyes. With Komaeda, though, who states often enough that he doesn't love Keigo themselves but rather the hope that they harbor, they're nothing to him, and there's comfort in that too. ]

You're kind of like a rock, or an anchor, somebody there to keep me grounded and it's like that sense of security that Aniki gives, but different, because with Aniki, it feels like him being there will solve all my problems, just like he always used to. But when I'm with you... You make me believe in myself. Even when I'm scared, you make me want to try, because whether I succeed or fail, you'll be right here. If Tarou-nii is warm fire, and Aniki is cool water, then you're air: you like to pretend that you're not there, and that you're not doing anything important, but you are, you're so important. You keep me alive.

[ They sit down with him, leaning back as if curled up on a couch for movie night instead of a rumbly metal box. The name makes them turn their head, and they're eyes full of surprise, warmth, longing, sorrow, love.

...

They look away, focusing their gaze on the door that couldn't open sooner. ]


I want to want to live. It's hard, sometimes, when I'm tired and everything seems pointless, and the only reason I'm hanging on is because I want to do one good thing with my life before it's gone.

I don't know... maybe. He changed his role, after all.

[ From a teacher to a counselor, quite a leap for a person who cannot understand human emotion. What is there for him to gain, though? Is asking to save his son good enough? ]

I'll talk to him, when school starts again. I need to be the one who does it.

I don't know. If I'm the only one there, dad has no choice but to look at me.

[ They're slower to pick themselves off the ground, but they do, letting go and pushing off their knees to stand. ]

...the worst he can say is no. I'll be okay.

[ Selling happiness, let's go. aka Komaeda is going to have to carry 248902430434 rocks up to the rooftop, put that hammerspace pocket to good use ]

Homework sounds fun, though! I studied math with Sara a bit, and Ishimaru is teaching me math now too! Math is fun!

[ Just math, though, the other subjects they're sort of ehhh about ]

[ stoppppppppppp Komaeda looks over at them and it's them with their hands over their face, don't just casually detach your hand without warning, please, ]

The answer to what?

[personal profile] adsum 2022-01-07 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ No they're not opening their eyes, they're going to stand in the middle of the doorway just /o\ ]

Umm... Sara, Add, Natsume, and I solved the Poincaré conjecture a while back. Ishimaru is learning the Navier–Stokes equations so he can teach them to me so I can solve the equations. I'll probably ass Natsume again at one point, because he's smart and not as scary as Add.

[ They lower their hands and sees Komaeda's other hands and goes aaaaaaa to themselves ]

He doesn't know me. He saves you because he likes you, but that doesn't mean he'll save everybody else.

[ It's like Subaru's endorsement of Meng Yao being a good guy when npckun expressed being scared of him, except Meng Yao did actually save them, even if it wasn't for their sake. ]

[ Komaeda to Rokkun: murder is not the answer
Komaeda to himself: hm but what about murder

Anyways, somehow, they doubt they're that memorable. They're the shopkeeper, but only when they're in their shop, so they wouldn't expect Add to remember their plain generic high school student face amongst all the others. Also Komaeda has to be there to back them up, and that's too many variables to have faith in. ]


No one's incapable of being kind. If somebody said that to my face, I'd get mad too.

[ Why would anybody want to seem unlikeable? insane

They hmm at the thought, and then goes to retrieve their collection of rocks. Most of them are in the gacha machine, the plain boring normal ones, but they have other tumbled stones too, as well as some small precious gemstones.

These they all hold out to him. ]


Rocks have their own language just like flowers do. Do you believe in their power?
adsum: (keigo (11))

[personal profile] adsum 2022-01-07 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so. That's why I choose the ones I do for him.

[ And for everybody who buys their rocks and asks for recommendation. Even if they don't know the other person very well, they can see the exhaustion on their faces, know the toll existence has on a person's soul, believes everybody could use a little support and protection even if they don't believe.

They place the rocks in Komaeda's organic hand, and he'll have to play hot potato and toss them into the void himself because npckun notably backs away from it, no thank you. ]


But they were all Aniki's before, and if they're supposed to protect him and help him make friends, why did he have to die alone? He should have had one with him.

I know. You didn't even want to buy my keychains... Have you changed your mind about them? Do you want to buy one? End of the year clearance sale.

[ Please buy their creepy eyeball keychains, the things make them nervous, actually. ]

Did he finally find one of those? I thought he was still looking for one.

[personal profile] adsum 2022-01-07 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ somebody please exorcise Rokkun ]

Nope, those totems are ten times more expensive now!

[ They settle down, though, considering what Komaeda is saying. He finally found the fabled wish stone, huh... But to make a wish come true, you have to pass the rock onto somebody else, and having it stolen out of your pocket probably doesn't count. Maybe it does? They wonder what he would have wished for.

... ]


It'd be nice if those things worked. We could wish ourselves out of here.
