Even though Shu was bracing himself for a reply, the door swinging open and the extremely warm greeting surprised him nonetheless, almost causing him to drop the box he was holding so tightly. Fumbling a little, he huffed slightly in an attempt to hide his reaction, but as he entered, he suddenly felt himself overwhelmed with all the decorations. Christmas really was quite close, wasn’t it… He barely even noticed how many days had gone by until now. But he had to admit, the festivities were quite heartwarming.

… What was he saying, of course he wasn’t going to admit it.

He walked from the hallway to the lounge, and stood awkwardly, not really sure where to start. Ugh, he really wasn’t prepared for this.

“… Well, it looks like you are fairing well. I was concer– … I was wondering if you’d make it through alright, but it seems you are all in one piece… I assume”

Shu held the box tightly again, not really sure how to go about this. Should he build up to it? Should he just leave it somewhere casually? He really hadn’t given anyone a gift in a while… What a bother. And now he was worried if Kaito would even like it; the scarf was a cord knitted gradient from white to blue, thinking that it would suit him aesthetically, but…

Wait, why on Earth was he so worried?? It’s just a present… Looking up at the enthusiastic smile on Kaito’s face, Shu was sure that Kaito would probably be happy with a rock he picked up off the ground. He could never understand such straightforward people… How ironic. Thrusting the box towards Kaito, he stared him dead in the eyes, 

“Here. This is for you. I came to give you this. … I thought your old scarf may have been ruined, and the weather is quite cold, so… Here! Take it!”

He broke eye contact after a few seconds, not being able to bear the embarrassment, and spoke up again, but in a quieter tone.

“… You still owe me. So… I thought that it would be appropriate for us to get to know each other better. So that you know exactly how you can pay me back. Do you understand?”

Kaito moved on in towards the living room, an enthusiastic hop to his steps despite the fact that he was inwardly worrying just a little bit about some minor things. He should offer something to drink or eat, right, or something else... thinking about it, he can’t remember the last time he’d had someone over (or had someone show up) who wasn’t there just for some sort of business reasons. And it was almost a bit weird, taking note of the differences in his own freedom here compared to back home. 

That shifts out of his mind though, as Kaito comes to a stop himself, a sheepish smile forming on his face. It was embarrassing to think about how he’d gotten into that situation to begin with, but that was the past now. Don’t dwell on it too much.

“I’m alright! With how stuff works here, it wasn’t too bad at all, so now I’m pretty much as good as new!” He’s not sure if he should add in the fact that it was a much faster process of repair here than it would’ve been otherwise. That would make things seem more concerning, right? Oh, geez. 

But he’d noticed how Shu seemed to be... nervous, or something along those lines, holding the box tightly and shifting around; Kaito wanted to ask if everything was alright, but the box is thrust out towards him before he can. The android blinks, surprised, as he reaches out to accept it. Wait, was this a gift? But shouldn’t he be the one giving a gift, since he was the one who’d been saved? Well, he had wanted to, but wasn’t sure what to do--now he’ll definitely have to figure something out! 

“Ah...” Between that and the next statements, it takes him a second to register from his surprise, but his face lights up soon after while accompanied by an enthusiastic nod. “Oh-- Yeah! I’d like that a lot! Um, I can tell you whatever stuff you want to know about me, and I can ask stuff then too, because-- well, I wasn’t sure what to do, but you helped me out a lot, there’s no way I’m not gonna give you something back! Especially for a friend! But you, um... a scarf?” 

Kaito feels embarrassed, both between the fact that he’d gotten excited and went on like that, and the fact that he’s being given a gift like this when he should be offering something first. He doesn’t hesitate to open the box now though, pulling out the scarf carefully as his eyes light up at the sight. It was incredibly pretty, even matching his favorite colors (though surely that was just aesthetic choices, he’d never mentioned they were his favorites too), and especially considering how much he loved scarves in general, well.

“Ahhh!” A soft, excited gasp escapes him, a bright and wide smile taking over his face making it easy to tell that he’s absolutely delighted. “This is--this is really incredible! It’s--well, um, it’s not like I ever said it ‘cause of what was going on, but these are my favorite colors, and I also just really love scarves, so it’s really perfect... T-Thank you! I, um, I-I really appreciate it...!”

“This must be the right place… Ugh, it better be the right place…”

Shu mumbled to himself as he stood outside the door of Chamomile Blue 1 - The Halloween incident had indeed shaken Shu up, causing him to become more recluse than usual, and he had only recently struck up the courage to leave his room. 

During all that time though, he couldn’t stop worrying about Kaito… He refused to let anyone know, but the first thing he did upon feeling well enough to go outside was check the hospital to see how he was doing. Much to his relief, Shu discovered Kaito had been discharged rather early, and with some more digging, finally managed to find out his accommodation.

But… The mix of embarrassment at his own worry over someone he barely knew and his problems leaving the house at the best of times caused him to take a while to try and make contact. So, in an attempt to make him seem less like he was concerned about his well being, Shu knitted a scarf for Kaito while he was alone, planning on giving it as a gift in case the one he was wearing during their first meeting was ruined due to the events they went through. Yes, he thought, this definitely makes it not look like I’m here just because I care. 

With a deep breath, Shu knocked on the door, clutching the box with the gift close to his chest out of nervousness.

“H-hello? Is Kaito there? I have business with him immediately…!”

The past month or so he’s been here so far has definitely been an eventful one.

Kaito can’t exactly call that a bad thing, because even if he’s gotten himself into trouble, he’s able to do a lot more than he was before he just suddenly got swept up here. It’s almost weird, having the amount of freedom he does now, and sometimes he doesn’t know what to do with it.

Like right now, for example. He had nowhere to be today, his roommates were all out attending to their own business, and he wasn’t sure how he wanted to spend the time. Stay here? Go somewhere? He still had someone he needed to pay a visit to, but he’d been having a bit of a dilemma about that. If he went over there, shouldn’t he bring something? What on earth would he even bring that’d express enough gratitude for rushing him to the hospital for repairing even through that terrifying mess? Plus, Kaito kept wondering if maybe he should wait still anyways, it had looked as though the whole ordeal had given his savoir an incredible fright. But if he waited too long, would he seem ungrateful? 

Hey, he’s never been in this kind of situation before.

Well. He’ll think about it more, he tells himself, as he heads from the kitchen to the living room. He’s lost in idle thought, until the sound of a knock at the condo’s door catches his attention, and he stops immediately. Someone’s at the door? None of the other tenants were here right now, Kaito couldn’t imagine that someone would come for one of them if they weren’t, but then again who knows. He thinks to himself that maybe he should answer it anyways just in case, but then the person responsible for the knock speaks, and instantly he perks up. The android goes from hesitation to absolutely none in an instant, bounding quickly to the door and opening it with a broad smile forming on his features. 

“Ah! Shu!! He’s here-- I mean, um. Obviously!” Considering he was the one answering the door, after all. It’s kind of funny, for him to show up just when Kaito was thinking about doing the same. But he makes no note of that, distracted by both the notion of business and the box being held so tightly. “Eh? With me? Then-- you should come in! Nobody else is home right now, but, um... it’s a bit... decorated inside.”

Kaito moves aside to allow him entry, and once again he feels embarrassed about how overboard he’d gone initially with his festive decor. At least he’d toned it down a notch by now, and at least he kept it all aesthetically matching, but he feels he especially doesn’t want to make some weird impression now. He was just too adjusted to back home, where his family was used to his antics.

Goro was exhausted. Asphodel might be able to work miracles, but for some reason their powers did not extend quite that far. His head still pounded even with the wound reduced to scarring, and he felt as though he hadn’t rested since before the… incident.

Chamomile Blue still didn’t feel like home, but it had to be better than another night in the hospital. At least he’d managed to procure a bandage from a nurse to hide the scars creeping along his hairline; until he could figure out how else to cover them up, he didn’t want to have to answer any awkward questions.

After all–to anyone with the required knowledge, they were clearly from a wound that should have been fatal. As long as they were covered, he could still downplay the nature of the injury.

However, when he opened the door to the condo, he was met with an explosion of tinsel and holiday decorations, and he felt his headache progress into the beginnings of a migraine. Then, the tower of tinsel on a chair moved, and he realized that was actually the one of his roommates he hadn’t managed to meet yet.

He was so, so tired, and yet he managed a weak smile rather than the scowl he’d much rather wear. First impressions, he reminded himself as he opened his mouth, willing himself not to say anything dangerous. “I see you’ve taken it upon yourself to decorate the condo. However, I do believe the tinsel is supposed to go around the room, not on your person.” The quip was weak. His voice was obviously tired. But it was all he could muster right now; at least his injury was an adequate excuse for his lack of enthusiasm.

✎ — Another day, another round of investigating that had ultimately led him no closer to uncovering the answers to the many mysteries that this city held. Even so, he wouldn’t give up. Whilst the constant lack of results may be disappointing, he had to find a way back to the others that needed him in his own world. With that in mind, sounding like a broken record by this point, he continued journeying back to Chamomile Blue. 

Preoccupied with many thoughts regarding his old living situation and his new one, he almost didn’t notice the other standing in the doorway to the condo. Thankfully he did, upon snapping back to reality and realising that the door wasn’t usually open like this. Stopping in his tracks, Shuichi glanced up at his roommate who appeared to be standing there and staring at something inside the room. Before anything else though, he couldn’t help but notice a bandage wrapped around Goro’s head. Had something happened? It could just be a minor injury, but it immediately sparked a surge of anxiety in him.

“A-Akechi-kun, is that a bandage? Are you o-” Eyes glancing past the other detective to see why he was stood here, his words of concern trailed off as he took in the sight before him. It was… certainly a sight. 

Although he couldn’t see everything from where he stood, it was evident that the condo had undergone some… drastic revamping. Christmas decorations were seemingly scattered everywhere, and then came the moving bundle of tinsel.

“Um… hello… Tinsel-kun?” Honestly, he wouldn’t be surprised if there actually was some sort of tinsel creature in this city. Obviously, that wasn’t the case, and this was most likely a roommate that he hadn’t met yet, but the fact that he’d be willing to accept that said a lot in itself. 

Alright, this was fine. He could absolutely handle this situation. 

He tells himself that as he inwardly panics. Kaito hadn’t actually gotten to genuinely meeting his roommates yet, with everyone having their own things to do, and this isn’t really the first impression he wanted to make but it sure was the one he got. Oh geez, what if he’s gone and already made someone angry? It doesn’t seem like it, but he could be wrong, or wrong about being wrong! Well. This was something.

“I-It wasn’t... exactly supposed to wind up all on me like this, but it kind of just...”

He trails off upon seeing someone else moving and hearing a second voice--oh no. Having one roommate walk in on this mess was bad enough, now they’re both here, and Kaito inwardly screams to himself about the fact. Maybe it makes it easier to just explain once and that’s it, but he hadn’t even had the time to decently form an explanation! He sure had to now, and... hey, hold on a second.

“’Tinsel-kun...?’ H-Hey, hold on a second, I’m not actually--” The android finally snaps out of his state of panic, moving around so he can pull the tinsel off of at least his head enough to not make it seem like he’s some giant sentient ball of tinsel. Because apparently that’s what he came off as. “I’m not just a ball of tinsel, honestly! I mean I looked like it, but...”

He purses his lips for a minute, thinking to himself, and then he takes note of what the second roommate said before, and--oh that is a bandage. Kaito wants to ask too, but at the same time he feels like asking anything now would be just look like he’s trying to dodge the subject at hand, and that’d probably not be a good idea. He’ll work with words tactfully! Probably.

( not. )

“I, uh... I did decide to try and decorate, though, and I guess I just got wrapped up in this.” He lifts his arms, moving the tinsel with him as an incredibly sheepish laugh comes out. This is so awkward. “And, um... I’m definitely not Tinsel-kun! I’m Kaito. I-It’s... nice to get to meet you guys...?”

It would’ve been nicer if it were significantly less awkward, but hey.

Okay fine, he’ll be honest. He hadn’t really thought twice about decorating the condo until he’d gotten into it, when he had the realization that his flatmates could come back at at any moment and he hadn’t mentioned beforehand he’d do something like this. And he’d spent a few minutes debating with himself on whether he should backtrack or not, but it felt silly to have hung tinsel up only to turn around and take it back down, maybe put it up again later. 

So here Kaito is now, standing on a chair in the living room, a bit tangled up in tinsel but he could deal with that easily. He hums softly to himself, and that alongside the fact that he’d gotten invested in the task again keeps him from noticing the sound of movement at first. It isn’t until he pauses his humming for a moment and hears footsteps that he stops in his tracks, suddenly vividly recalling his prior realization again. Oh, boy. Maybe he’s just imagining it!

...Nope. When he turns to look, tinsel shifting alongside his movements, Kaito finds himself meeting gazes with one of said flatmates. It’s a bit awkward, actually more than a bit awkward, what with him standing on a char looking like he does, and for a second he doesn’t know what to say at all. No, he doesn’t know what to say in general, but after a beat of awkward silence to accompany the moment he decides he needs to say something.

“Uhh... Welcome back?”

Yeah. Sure. That works.

it’s never a bad time to get rolling again, right?

so here’s an ad for one (1) beautifully blue android man! if you’re up for some vibrant energy (or even if you’re not) in your life, then smash that like button. it’s possible some will revolve around the upcoming holidays because kaito really likes this time of year, and i can’t guarantee length. these hands do what they want.

capped at 4, but if you miss the cap and still would like a thread them hmu and we can work something out!

That... sure is a number of big bags in his arms. He seems to be handling them fine, at least, but there’s things like tinsel and fake snow peeking out. Kaito’s getting ready for something, isn’t he.

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas... ♪“ Well, he’s humming that to himself, so that would be a resounding ‘yes.’

[amakuchis-blog]

“Trick or Treat! Time for sweets! ♪”

Well, he’s dressed up, but he’s really only wandering about eating candy. Why say ‘trick or treat,’ then? That’s not trick or treating!

sovereignswrath:

Shu could only really pay half attention to Kaito’s words as he rushed past anything that looked like danger, but was relieved at his reassurance, even if his downplay of his own safety was getting on his nerves. Kaito seemed genuinely interesting, and he mentioned something about singing earlier..? If this was under any other circumstances, Shu would have loved to chat to him normally, but his mind was currently filled with panic and fear.

“St-stop… Acting as if… I should have just left you there!! F-foolish boy! Ahh… I-if I get hurt then you b-better be dragging my body to the hospital w-with that robotic durability of yours…!”

It was hard to tell if he was being too harsh considering the android probably wasn’t feeling too great either, but it was difficult for Shu to show his concern at the best of times. He could barely manage words out at this point, but he felt like if he went quiet than Kaito would start to get worried… As if he couldn’t hear Shu panting heavily right behind him. But Kaito’s promise to keep him safe really did reach his heart, even if the only thing he could think was How could you say something so embarrassing?? 

“Well… F-fine… Just don’t do anything… Stupid… If I arrive at this hospital without you… I-i’ll make sure God… Never… Lets you into Heaven…!”

Shu barely knew what he was saying at this point, he was so overcome with exhaustion, fear, and embarrassment. Nonetheless it inspired Shu to keep pushing forward, even if he was running purely on adrenaline at this point. They were nearly there, the hospital entrance about 100 meters ahead of them, until–

The chair seemed to hit something on the floor, and Shu somehow managed to grab onto Kaito to stop him from going flying forwards, but choked up as he noticed whatever they hit began rising slowly from the floor…. And it definitely didn’t look very human. At least, not like one that was supposed to be alive anyway.

“A-ahh…Ahhhhhh….”

It took Shu a few seconds for the situation to process the zombie before him, but as soon as he realised, he ducked behind the chair and gripped tightly onto Kaito’s coat. Dear God, please let him be as sturdy as he promised he was.

“H-HIT IT!! HIT IT, KAITO!! DESTROY THAT GODLESS CREATURE NOW!!!”

“W-Well...”

He still had protests--it would’ve been better to just leave him there, he’s sure, but this situation is already stressful enough as it is. Shu is certainly more frightened than he himself is, something entirely justified, but Kaito doesn’t want to make things worse. Though, would not saying anything at all be worse? Wouldn’t that be concerning? If he suddenly goes silent, that’d give off the wrong impression! 

“I-I won’t do anything like that, so--”

A soft oof stops whatever else he was going to say as the chair rams into something, but thankfully he’s stopped from flying forward. Kaito blinks a few times in succession, clearing out the momentary daze from the sudden stop, though he quickly snaps back into alertness as soon as he hears the distressed sounds coming from Shu.

What is--oh. A sort of panic rises in him now, but he instinctively shifts himself as though becoming a shield. Good, considering the other boy had ducked behind him now, but the thing was coming, and... wait a second, why was he afraid here? Shu was rightfully afraid, but Kaito was the one made of metal here; if the thing bit him, it’d smart a little, but it’d just be gnawing on metal! He could actually do something this time without making a mess of himself!

“H-Hey! Don’t come any closer!” He shouts, but then quickly feels embarrassed by the fact. What was he doing? “...What am I thinking? I don’t really need to... A-Ah, forget it!!”

Kaito leans forward a bit, holding the umbrella with both hands as the zombie pulled itself up fully. At least it was really slow, but he needed it to move just a little so he could actually--there! It shifted a bit, now it’d work!

“Don’t!” he strikes at the undead creature repeatedly, words escaping him with each swing he took. An umbrella wasn’t the toughest weapon in the world, but in the hands of an android it became a bit better. And normally he’d be against doing something like this, but since it’s already a zombie, he can’t really help it! “Come! Closer! I! Said! ‘Cause I’m! Not! Going to let you hurt--!”

Whether he simply hit it in a good spot or put enough power into a swing to knock it down, he’s got no clue (it was the latter, actually). But the thing crumples to the ground, which is a very good thing, considering the umbrella actually snaps a bit at that point. Ah?

Kaito stares for a moment, slightly dumbfounded by the fact that he just did that, before sighing a little bit in relief. 

“Oh. ...U-uh, it’s gone! Or it’s... fallen down at least. But we’re almost there, s-so we can get there just fine, right! I mean, if any more come, I’ll probably have to ... punch them, or something... but it’s alright! I’m stronger than I look!”

sovereignswrath:

Shu made an attempt to listen as he began pushing the android in the way he hoped was the hospital. As soon as Kaito began, Shu instantly thought that any reason to be on top of a building at any time is more than just ‘kind of silly’, and got himself ready to scold him, but considering the stuttered explanation revealed that he seemed genuinely sorry, and… God, the smile… All he could do was stare for a moment, before huffing heavily and trying to look ahead past him, having trouble hiding his red face. How irritating! He couldn’t even remember what he wanted to lecture him about.

“I don’t even… J-just…! Seeing you fall almost gave me a heart attack! I… Ugh… How did you expect to move looking like this? You understand we’re currently faced with an infestation, yes??”

As Shu attempted to navigate, something suddenly hit him; the hospital’s location… Asphodel Hospital… Oh no. His mind began racing, but there was no point turning back now. He suddenly thrust the umbrella he was carrying under his arm onto Kaito, speeding up as much as he could without losing control.

“… L-listen, Kaito… It seems that we’re going to have to enter the danger zone to get you to this damned hospital. Do you have any, I don’t know, special robot powers? If not just… J-just beat anything that comes near us with this umbrella, or something.”

The stress was hitting Shu hard, trying his best to ignore the chaos unfolding around him as he pushed the chair with one hand, and held onto Kaito’s shoulder with the other to make sure he didn’t fall out in the case of any sudden stops. Mumbling under his breath, Shu tried his best to swerve around the remains of the undead as he made his way to his destination, but was having trouble keeping up the pace. This was definitely not how he intended his day to day. Damn it…

“… Don’t forget, my name is Shu Itsuki. You… ahh… Y-you seriously owe me a great debt for this, android boy!!”

He can’t help but find himself peering up out of curiosity during all this, taking note of the other boy’s red face. Is he pushing himself too hard? Otherwise people become red if they’re embarrassed, but that seemed like it wouldn’t be the case here... Ah, nevermind that. Kaito’s being scolded a bit, which is entirely justified considering the mess he stirred up, and he winds up sheepishly staring at his hands. Is he ashamed of himself? Of course!

“I-I don’t really have any excuse that isn’t just kinda... nonsense. A-And I feel really bad that I scared you so much! ...But that’s not really gonna help anything now, is it...”

He wants to come up with something else to say, but considering this is his own fault for trying to look like some cool heroic guy in the first place, all he can really come up with is apologies.

...Until the realization of things comes to him as well.

“Ah--” An umbrella is thrust into his hands, but he doesn’t entirely register the fact because there’s a big wave of panic washing over him now. Going into somewhere that was said to be the biggest danger zone of them all in this situation was a concern in itself, but it wasn’t himself that Kaito was concerned about here. He grips the umbrella as he thinks, listening to everything the other boy--Shu--was saying to him, and as soon as he finishes speaking, Kaito lets out some kind of soft exhale to steady himself a bit before looking back up.

“W-Wait, wait, you don’t--” Whether he gets scolded again or not, it’s better than saying nothing at all. “Y-You don’t have to go over there! I-I mean, um... I’m really glad that you want to help me out, but I don’t want you to wind up getting hurt too just ‘cause I decided to go off and do something really ridiculous like I did! I can... I can handle a lot more than a human can since I’m a robot and I’m made of metal and things like that, really, s-so it’s okay! I... um...”

He really doesn’t like the idea of getting someone else hurt thanks to his own foolishness. Especially not someone who was kind enough to help him out in the first place despite the fact, even if he entirely scared him to near-death. But he doesn’t want to seem ungrateful either. What else can he do, though? Ah, geez--!

“...I-If you do still want to go over there no matter what, though, I’ll... um, I’ll do my best to keep them away. I don’t really have any cool powers or anything, but since I’m made of metal, if they got too close and tried to bite me or anything it wouldn’t be a good time for them. A-And I can kind of hit harder than normal people can! It’s not really a power, but actually I am stronger than I look... so, um... R-Right, no matter what, I’ve decided I’ll keep Shu safe! I can repay you however you want! ...Uh, A-After this is all done, yeah!”

5tora:

It’s a familiar sensation—one second he is nothing, and the next he emerges into a world more vibrant and overwhelming than his spirit could have imagined.

But the setting is far from familiar. This is no quiet room in a secluded citadel, and there are no brothers or master to greet him. The open air is filled with unfamiliar scents and the sound of loud voices overlapping, and as he slowly backs up he trips, landing hard on the cold stone.

The tigers squeeze themselves against his legs, growling apprehensively, but he doesn’t respond, staring blankly at the ground as he struggles to draw a breath.

The breath becomes a wail, and the understanding that he’s drawing attention to himself bawling in the middle of the city only makes him cry harder, curling up on the ground.

Where is everyone? No, where is he? He’s never been alone before… is he going to be, now?

He could tell from a distance something was going on, seeing some of the locals looking a certain direction and talking among themselves. Some of them looked a bit concerned, which is what lead the android to heading that way in the first place. It doesn’t take him too long to figure out why, either.

The crying is audible before he even sees where it’s coming from, and once he sees the source, he’s not exactly sure what to do. Not because he didn’t know how to try and help, but those... sure were tigers. The boy in the middle of them all curled up and wailing makes him want to go help, but the tigers... they’re small. He’s a robot, he could handle anything if something happened, right? Right!

“Um...” Kaito approaches cautiously in order to avoid startling both the boy and the tigers now shifting to look at him. Nearby locals pause, but he pays them no mind. “Are you... alright? Wait, that’s a bad question. Are you... lost? Or is something else lost? Or...”

sovereignswrath:

All Shu could do was stare down at him in awe; how was he acting so unconcerned during all of this? Even though he knew that was a good thing - Shu wasn’t sure what he’d do if he had to handle a corpse - he was still trying to make sense of the situation. An android… Well, he’d never come across one of those before. Not knowingly, anyway. But he was alive, and that’s all that mattered. He didn’t know how or why, all he knew is that he had to make sure this didn’t escalate further.

“Hmph, you certainly don’t look okay! Have you seen the situation that you’re in?? We need to get you to the hospital. Just… Just wait here.”

A thought crossed Shu’s mind as he ran into the recreation center: Would the hospital even treat someone like him? … It doesn’t matter, everything was magic; It’d be more surprising if they weren’t equip to fix up non humans. 

After a minute, Shu came back out, pushing an office chair out of the building on it’s wheels. There was no way he was going to be able to carry the shattered android to safety without support, and this was the only thing he could think of that would work. Was he going to look like an idiot? Yes, of course. But sometimes you simply have to make do.

“Come on, let me help you on this, I’ll push you to the hospital myself. I’m not going to take no for an answer.”

As Shu held onto him to , and caught himself staring at the injuries.The cracks and opening in his body were so… Delicate. He really did look just like a giant broken porcelain doll, he thought to himself. Quickly turning his face away as he felt it heat up, he made an attempt at conversation to take his mind off of his embarrassment.

“I-I’m guessing you have a name, yes? What is it? And what on God’s Earth were you doing on that building??”

Being stared at so much was a bit embarrassing; it was justified, considering how much of a mess he must look and seeing an android for the first time or something must be rather odd. A sheepish laugh escapes him, and he almost feels like moving to rub the back of his neck like he would in a normal situation, but that probably wouldn’t be a good idea.

“W-Well, um-- oh...”

Ah, geez. Before he can say much else, the rescuer has gone off into the building, presumably to look for something or someone to help with this. At least, that’s the only reason he can come up with right now, but he feels bad! Now he’s causing a fuss, and what if the other boy had something important to do, now he’d just waltzed--no, fell--in and made a commotion!

A minute passes, and the boy’s returned with...an office chair? Oh, right. That’d be a lot easier of a solution than carrying a messed-up looking android purely by hand, wouldn’t it.

“Um-- well, if it helps, nothing really important got damaged!” Kaito had intended to say that before, but missed his chance. It was true, though! “I mean, it definitely looks bad, but it can all be fixed without problems, I’m sure! Since they’ve got all that magic here...”

He wanted to protest, simply because he didn’t want to inconvenience anyone like this, he already felt there was enough kindness shown just by making sure he hadn’t gotten hurt worse, but the ‘I’m not going to take no for an answer’ wasn’t something he wanted to press. And he also didn’t want to seem ungrateful, so he’ll comply, though quite embarrassed about the situation.

And then he grows more embarrassed at that last question. Kaito had hoped it wouldn’t get asked, even though it was a perfectly reasonable thing to ask in this situation, but his answer was... ridiculous, the more thought he gave it. Well, he can start there, at least.

“It’s... uh, it’s kind of really silly, why I was up there...” He can’t make eye contact. It’s absolutely silly. “I was trying to get to the top, because... I thought I’d keep a lookout, in case some of the things wandering around decided to flock over here, and that way I could let people know about it... I-It’s really kind of ridiculous now that I think about it, actually very ridiculous, and I kind of misstepped... really bad, and uh... I don’t really know what made me fall, I just know that I was trying to pull myself up so I wouldn’t fall, and um... that definitely didn’t work. B-But I’m glad you saw me, at least! ...Though I’m really sorry that I scared you a lot, I didn’t think anyone had seen me, so I thought I could just rest for a moment before I moved...”

There’s a moment afterwards where he still can’t make eye contact, he’s embarrassed by how much of a fool he must sound like, between his story and stumbling apology, but finally he gets his bearings and looks up at his rescuer with that signature smile of his.

“A-Anyways! I’m Kaito! Obviously I don’t normally look like a huge mess, and I guess from now on I should really just stick to singing and the like, huh...”

hollowmessiah:

It had been a small thing. A flash of yellow, a teasing voice. 

If she was here, then he could be as well. She stares. It’s not him, and the moment passes, but Minako’s still staring. She doesn’t even realise she’s doing so, her thoughts still stuck on the melancholic wish to meet again.

“Ryoji-kun…”

The name passes through her lips unbidden, barely a whisper. It’s almost like a trance, and she shows no sign of awakening from it, until–

A concerned voice calls out, and her head turns, meeting a tall stranger. 

There’s a familiar sort of tug when she looks, an ephemeral sense that he’s more than human, like that person, and it takes her a moment to gather herself, returning to her carefree persona.

“Oh man!” Minako exclaims, raising a hand to her cheek. She takes a step back, trying to clear the path for anyone who might want to walk past. “I didn’t even realise… Haha, all the lovely smells and sights must have distracted me!”

“Thanks for letting me know! I wouldn’t want to get in anyone’s way accidentally.”

He’s not exactly sure what, but something still feels odd about the situation. His lips press gently into a frown, head tilting to the side as he peers at the girl curiously. Well, he may be wrong entirely, but he still kind of feels like he should make sure. 

“Um...” Though if the girl is brushing it off so quickly, maybe he shouldn’t press into it? On one hand, it felt rude, but also making sure people were alright was something important--ah, now he’s just going to work himself up too much!

“...Yeah, there are a lot of things that smell good, huh!” Kaito smiles, still worried but at least bouncing back into his usual carefree aura. If it wasn’t brought up, he’d leave it alone, and that’s that. “It’s alright! I just thought it’d be good to let you know ‘cause... well, I don’t know if it’s the same here, but I know back where I’m from people would sometimes get mad about that kind of thing.”

At least he’d never really gotten yelled at personally by a stranger, he’s seen it a few times. It doesn’t look like something you’d want to deal with at all.
