Where: School roof

( 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! )

STPP THERES SOME GOOD GREEN
( even though he knows that rio doens't like to take pictures. pictures capture the soul, every little piece, over and over your soul is taken from you behind every click. you stop being yourself once you see what the picture shows, people will think they smile too eagerly, and try to drop it, or they'll notice how empty their eyes are, and then proceed to gouge them out. there's many reasons for a people to be afraid of pictures or not to like them, and when he looks up at rio, he doesn't see anything to hate.
at least he can be him in his photo, and not have the devil creeping steadily behind. )
Maybe I just want them of you, I'll ruin the shot.
( he ruins every shot, he doesn't get the best pictures when he does take them because of the odd additions. he does proceed to delete the photo he already took. that is losing a piece of their life, between this and the seconds of taking them... it's horrible, it'll hurt raw if someone thinks about what they've lost of it. why doesn't he hold onto these foolish pictures? well, none of it means anything when the other consents, which makes the next shot special. )
How about next to the bonfire? ( he looks over to it, making sure that it's still well-lit, because he can't go over or he'll catch on fire.
there's no problem about this, because can an ai really lose a piece of themselves when they adjust to their surroundings? )
THERE IS BUT THIS GREEN IS CURSED
He can tell himself that it's fine as long as he doesn't have to see it.
He blinks, staring for a few seconds. He had asked to take a picture with him. ]
You wouldn't.
[ But then, Rio probably wouldn't care even if he did. But he doesn't seem like he'll push the issue, likely because he himself is so uncomfortable with the prospect. ]
Sure, I guess that's fine.
[ He's not moving just yet though. He may or may not be staring at him. ]
STOP KOMAEDA WEARS GREEN
hm. )
Do you want me to walk over there with you?
( he doesn't seem to be thrilled about the idea when he's not a fan of taking pictures. komaeda slowly walks over, standing by the bonfire, and he can hear the flicker of the flame, and the puff of air as it remains lit. it's a nice sound, and he has to remind himself not to lean back, or he'll wind up burning himself. with that done, there's no need for an answer as he continues. )
Here, stand right next to me.
( can he give orders? well he sure as hell will. the camera is even faced towards him because this is much better than hugging rio where everyone can see. he can do the same thing and take a picture, perhaps the other would appreciate it more if it's not just him in the one frame. )
Did you know the place you attend makes you take school pictures?
TRUE IT'S REALLY JUST MIDORI (YTTD EDITION) THAT'S CURSED, MOST OTHER GREENS ARE NOT CURSED
Here's a little frown behind the mask, and he tugs at the edge of his hood as he considers that. ]
Ahaha, nope. Well, I guess that makes sense though.
[ It's more or less a universal thing among schools, but it's not one he'd had any reason to think about until now. ]
HES JUST CUTE AND GREEN LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!
Want to smile?
( it's not important for him to do, yet, there's something exciting about removing his face cards. rio always uses them to express himself, and while komaeda's used to seeing him without... )
Without the face card, that is.
( that's hardmode. )
YOU BULLY HIM ALL THE TIME!!!!
[ He blinks, as though repeating a foreign word. Perhaps it's because he was still sifting through his emotions, but he hadn't really smiled since having his emotions completed. He'd been content and even felt brief flickers of happiness, but his changes in expression were still small and slight.
But a person is supposed to smile for pictures, aren't they?
He glances down to the face card in front of him, then back up to Komaeda. It takes him a few seconds to describe. ]
... Okay.
[ There's a hint of uncertainty to the agreement, but he lowers the card all the same. ]
WHEN?
if he hands them or over not, komaeda settles the camera in the ais hands next so that he can use it instead.
he can take their picture, maybe the machine won't backfire on him or something. as he nestles up to rio's side, their shoulders bumping as komaeda looks at him. )
...!!
JUST TODAY? STARES AT THIS RAIN THREAD
It's uncomfortable, both being without his cards and taking a picture like this. It's pushing boundaries that have been solidly in place. He won't back out, but he does take a little breath to clear his nerves as he hold s the camera out in front of him. He adjusts the angle a bit... Like this should be fine, right?
Komaeda bumps against him, and he looks to him in turn, and he's able to manage a smile. It's as slight as all his changes in expression are, barely there at all, but genuine and warm.
...
Click. ]
WHAT RAIN THREAD STP
the idea to cover his own mouth with the card comes to mind, he wants to wear the open-mouth grin that the other wears so often, even if komaeda can do that all on his own. it's a quick flick of his wrist as he does so, just a little trading faces, he thinks; so despite how small it is; that's fine.
there's a small laugh at the click of the camera, and it catches the corner of komaeda's own lips raised behind the card, and the same with rio's barely visible expression. if someone squints, they can see it, but it's in the moment, and he gets to watch it turn into something soft despite his reservations to the camera. )
Aha, you did it. ( he praises, the little dots left in his eyes as he blinks them away. ) Come on, show us how we look!
THE ON WHERE YOU'RE TURNING HIS CAR INTO A POOL
It's uncomfortable, though, and his free hand moves to cover his mouth. ]
Sure.
[ Okay, he's squishing against Komaeda little more before he moves to show it, angling it more in the other's direction. ]
STOP THEM ARE MY TEARZ I AM SO SAD SO HIYORI WILL DROWN
( hiding his mouth and then squishing up against komaeda to hide again? no, he just wants to have an easier way in showing the picture, so komaeda lifts his left arm to place it across rio's shoulders. that's way he's even more closer, and komaeda tilts his head against the other's own as he looks at the touch screen of the camera.
it's what anyone would expect, the shot just as perfect if not for the face in the fire. there's various, logical explanations for it, that it was a lucky click at the moment, or the small breeze caused it to look different, but even komaeda didn't feel that.
he taps the screen to point out rio first, )
You should smile into the New Year, I think that would be nice to see as a fresh start.
MEEEE PLEASE DROWN HIM SO I FEEL BETTER
He doesn't let himself focus on that, despite the nauseating feeling in his stomach. It seems to show a happy memory, and that was important to others, and so he tries to appreciate the different vantage point instead. The fire is noted, but it doesn't bother him. Humans are designed to see faces in everything. None of that should matter when it's showing a happy memory. ]
I'd like that. It'd be nice if we both could, don't you think?
[ He has a good enough grasp on the concept of New Years, at least, even if he has no experience or attachment to it. ]
midori drowning won't save their complications
his gaze moves to rio once again, looking at his little smile while seeing as his own is hidden behind a card. he takes this opportunity to switch the open-mouth grin to something cat-like, and he hums behind it. the card taps at his own lips lightly, contemplating if it's even possible, besides komaeda is always smiling. )
We can try, no matter where you are, as soon as the clock strikes 12, smile. I'll smile too, no matter the circumstance.
( what reason will he have not to smile? hm, all he can do is just that despite hearing people say it's not an actual one. )
I'll even borrow one of your cards.
( to replicate the picture. )
but it'll make me feel better!!
If he thinks about it, if they did that, they could both end the current millenium and begin the new one with a smile... It's a nice thought, and his heart flutters at the thought of being able to share that with someone. It's never meant anything to him, and even now he would be fine without, but then he's never had the opportunity for it to mean something. ]
.. Okay. Then I'll make sure I'm smiling too.
[ His voice is a little soft, but contented.
That said, he wasn't expecting that last bit. ]
Huh? Which one?
what about rangers feelings WHAT ABT HIS!
( the emphasized, laying down 3 adorned with fangs, and quick strokes of cat whiskers. it's fitting for the theme yogen presents to them, and it's an expression komaeda can easily integrate into his way of speaking; much like talking with his hands. it'll be difficult to make sure that it has to be held against his face, can someone like komaeda pull it off?
there's many positive cards, but he should really sit down and make negative ones too. komaeda makes a mental note to himself to sit down proper again, make a few more that could be useful. one card that covers his face, and one that covers his eye, which is no different from the supposed expression that others tell komaeda about.
the disgusting, determined swirls in one eye, and the blank, dead look in the other. )
Unless there's another that fits me better.
( he taps the cards by rio's waist, sifting through to see which he wants. )
? they're ruined, komaeda ran off with his cat card like sara did the stocking
[ There really are a lot of positive cards. There's a few negative ones - an angry face, an intense stare, an embarrassed squiggle of a grown, a pout, and a crying card with a squiggly frown. But of those, one was made by Komaeda and the other is meant to represent a person. The rest are undeniably meant to be fun, cheerful cards - a confident profile, a shark-toothed grin, an exaggerated open-mouthed, toothy grin; a pair of cards with 3-shaped mouths, one of which has a blush and the other seeming to be more playful in nature, a squiggly smile with a forked tongue hanging out, a wide smile, a simpler and less perfect cat face... They're all fun, lively, and cartoonish expressions meant to create the image of a person who is just the same.
He's going to slip the camera back into Komaeda's pocket so he can start the process of holding a few of those cards up in front of his partner's face, seemingly at random, before seeming to decide against each one. Then he's going to guide Komaeda's hand back so he can look at the cat card in front of it again.
...
He might have just wanted to see how they look on another person. ]
Yeah, I like that one for you. Let's do that.
[ He takes up the rectangular cat card again, a simple and slightly messy sideways 3 with a few little whiskers poking out on either side, and holds it up in front of his face now since Komaeda still has the ones he's usually holding. ]
the real housewives leave nothing for the other party
( there's weight added into his pocket, the camera slipped back where it belongs. he would have asked rio if he wanted to use it, and take pictures of the people he's here with today. komaeda should tell him that, if people smile around him, he should take pictures to remember even though his memory will serve the same purpose.
that it doesn't matter.
they both have matching cards to a certain degree, a cat-like expression that can charm anyone who looks their way. as rio perceives him this close, he's curious if he likes looking at him wearing the card. komaeda keeps the card settled in place right before his lips, looking around for somewhere to sit, and he'll find a table. )
We really have to make you more, hm, you told me what you wanted. Tomorrow I'll visit the art room, and see what I can do.
( even sara dared him to make art with a friend, so maybe that works which means rio can't hover over him in wait for a new card being added to the list. it'll be a surprise, though, he wonders if rio will come with if not spoken aloud.
he does whatever he feels like. )
It'll be a surprise.
is he taking the cat hoodie and the coffin too
But he wants to be able to do that with Komaeda again. ]
Really? I can come too, since I wanna make a couple new ones.
[ That answers that question. He really is simple on some matters. ]
WHY IS HE TAKING EVERYTHING IN THE friendivorce or w/e theyre having
( he's knows that rio knows, but the meaning behind his efforts were to do them alone, and maybe with someone else whoever was interested. he wonders if chiaki would be willing to join without punching komaeda in his gut? he thinks it over with a smile, a hand lifts to tap the side of his own cheek as he continues to hold the card so rio's unable to see komaeda suck his cheeks in thoughtfully. once he's come to a conclusion, he ceases doing so, and shifts the card to the side so that the other can actually see the grin on his face. )
I had a feeling you'd want to, but wouldn't it be fun to do it separate, then see if we accidentally make the same sort of card?
( now if rio is about to call that a waste of time and paper, komaeda's ready for it. )
sara took three three things so he has to too
That said, he doesn't really see the appeal of accidentally making the same kind of card either. This does, in fact, strike him as a waste of time and paper. ]
Why would that be fun? That just sounds wasteful.
[ Why does he have two cat cards then? Well because he insulted the one Safalin gave him, made a new one, and then kept the only one anyway. It is, however, the only duplicate that he appears to have. ]
WHAT ALL DID SARA TAKE HELLO?
( he flips the card around, the bare backside visible now as he komaeda stares at what's drown on the front. there's a few ideas, but nothing as cute, so he doubts they'll make the same face card. yeah, he really thinks that would be by a long shot for it to happen, and he sets the card down on the table as he stares at rio with a playful smile, almost like he's up to something. )
You must get lonely pretty quickly now, if that's the case...
( waiting for rio to fill in the blank. )
THE STOCKING, THE MEMORY LANTERN, AND SMTH ELSE I FORGET WHAT BUT SHE STOLE 'EM FROM SHIN
Now, he could helpfully fill in the blank, but... ]
Nah, nothing's changed there.
[ ... Naturally, he just offers a small correction instead. Does that mean that he doesn't get lonely easily at all, or that he hadn't before? The former is far more likely. ]
Anyway, I don't mind.
HELPPPPPP NOT SARA TKING HIS LANTERN THERES ILLNESS IN THAT
Ah... are you telling me you're just lonely in general? That's bad, so if you feel lonely you can hang out with me.
( but he shouldn't be lonely considering there's so (less) many people within the school, he has a nice group to choose from. there's no need for komaeda to take up his time, but he'll give him another route to take. )
Should we walk around asking people what sort of cards they'd make, that would be interesting...
I KNOW IT'S SO ILL.... at least she didn't get the kotatsu
Ah, well, I'm used to having somebody around... [ Which probably isn't surprising given his circumstances. ] It's fine, if you wanna make it a surprise, I won't ruin it.
[ He hesitates at the idea of asking others, eyes flicking to the side. It's not something he objects to, but the odd look he's gotten from some hasn't escaped his notice. ]
Ah, you think we should...?
im so sad shin doesn't need it when he has all the plushies he burrows himself in
Now... if you happen to stumble in on me making them, I can't force you to leave, now can I?
( like it's a hint of what would be the better alternative. he follows rio's gaze, then glances at everyone else. )
Do you feel comfortable having other people's ideas of happiness and sadness as part of your gimmick?
that'st rue he has the blanket nest and the plushie collection, but his cat stocking :(
