[Makoto asked as he pulled out the digital camera out of his closet. He had Subaru over to hang out since they didn't have practice today. He's pretty happy to have him over since there's no chance they'll get caught doing anything. Sometimes Makoto will forget that they're in the practice room when Mao, Hokuto, and Anzu leave the room for a few minutes or that they're still in the school when he's disheveled after making out in an empty classroom. Why he runs into Izumi-san every time? He wished he knew, but now he can relax.
However, he doesn't know why Subaru asked for a camera, especially when they have their phone. Ahh, well he's sure Subaru has a reason for it.]
You sure you don't want to use our phones?
[Makoto handed it to him as he sits next to him on the bed.]
That's the whole point of it, Ukki! [ subaru says this like it's obvious, because it is! when makoto said he wanted help getting comfortable behind the camera, subaru had a really, really smart idea for how to help him. and though he really wanted to drag him off and just start on his idea in the school, ukki had made a good point...it'd be better to do it in his bedroom.
besides, with his mom not really around, it makes it really, really easy to shut the door and get really close. and as the second half of the idiot duo, subaru will never let his best, best friend down!
he's currently settled on his bed, and he picks up the camera, snapping a quick candid picture of makoto. ] I wanna help you feel better, and we take selfies all the time. This is way different!
[ he lowers the camera to look at him, then smiles down at the screen. ] See? Look, you look cute~ [ and he holds out the camera for makoto's inspection! ]
[When Makoto came to Subaru with his idea he had to stop him from doing this at school. He wouldn't be able to do this at school, though he does appreciate Subaru's help! He knows he would have a good idea on how to get him comfortable with the camera again. The plan is starting to work when he doesn't get alarmed that Subaru took a quick picture of him.]
Selfies are much easier to take though!
[Especially when he wants to take one with his friends. Taking a picture in front of a camera is a little bit difficult, but he know he can do it with Subaru's help! He takes the camera and nods at the picture. Not bad when he wasn't paying attention. At the compliment he gives a sheepish smile as he rubs the back of his neck.]
Ahh, really? I wasn't even posing or anything!
[Good thing he wasn't doing anything embarrassing when Subaru snapped this! He hands Subaru the camera and takes a seat next to him.]
Okay take another now! Wait, before you do what kind of pose do you want me to do? Do you want me to do one?
[He doesn't know what Subaru wants to do, he doesn't mind though. Subaru will have a great idea! He knows it!]
[ There are good days, and there are days where you just have to go with the flow. As in, there aren't "bad" days for Kaoru, or at the very least, they're rare enough with his mood he can shrug them off.
This... This definitely counts as a bad day. Kaoru was skipping for part of the school period nothing new. Here he is, sitting down on the roof after school, with a box in his hands. Also he looks less than tidy, like he smacked into... pavement, grass, something? A mess. He'd normally clean himself up, but he's a bit preoccupied. ]
You're... kind of a handful, you know? This is one favor from a pretty girl I might have to turn down next time. Hey, don't give me that look, you're not as cute as your owner.
[ Yes, he's talking to whatever's in the box, spacing out to where he might just want to sleep off the stress siting where he is. If a certain member of Ra*bits happens to sneak up and see what's in there... Surprise! It's a friend! Maybe. Who starts getting excited enough to rustle the box and snap poor Kaoru out of it though. ]
Wah-! Calm down... Nazuna-kun? Um.
[ Please don't tell Keito. Or a teacher. Both him and the lop-eared menace are innocent creatures here. ]
[ nazuna's having a pretty normal day, all the things considered. the school day's over, and he thinks he might have left his chopsticks up on the roof, since he and kuro usually have lunch up there. they're from his favorite bento, so he might as well take a look...though what he finds makes him forget about it entirely.
he hears kaoru talking before he sees him, and nazuna steps a little out of the way so he can watch him for a second. well... they're not supposed to be on the roof when it's not lunchtime anyway, and he's curious about the box, which means nazuna is going to be tiptoeing righ over towards him. he's so cool and sneaky, as he peers over his shoulder, and -- ]
Ohh, cute! [ completely forgets about being sneaky in the face of a precious little bunny. ] Kaoruchin!
[ Nazuna... Well, you got him. Mmm, how did the girl hold him? Kaoru's gentle with the bun as he scoops her out the box. ]
Here, I'm supposed to take care of her while her owner is on a trip, but I can't take her home... I can't believe I went back here to get some food. I wanted to skip!
[ Yumenosaki has the supplies he needs with their own animal pens, but there's no way he can keep or hide her with those rabbits... It would be mean. "Honey" has definitely taken a shine to Kaoru though, not wanting to be handed off to Nazuna so soon. So squirmy... ]
I came up here to get my lunch box, and I saw you and thought you were skipping--you need to go to class, Kaoruchin--and-- no, stop, stop, she likes you!
[ it seems even everyone's favorite niichan is weak in the face of cute animals. he's especially weak in the face of cute rabbits. this one's soft and a pretty honey color, not white like his precious pet back home. his rabbit behaves much of the same: though he's friendly, there's no one he loves more than nazuna, and he'll rarely want to be passed around or moved.
he holds up both of his hands to keep kaoru from handing him the rabbit, but reaches out to let her sniff his hand, a bright, cheerful smile lighting up his face immediately. nazuna directs that sunshine on kaoru once the rabbit leans in and sniffs his fingers. ] You brought her to school? Seriously, Kaoruchin, what kind of rabbit food were you expecting to find here? Oh, she's so cute...
[ they've known each other barely a week, maybe just a little bit more, when arashi had literally crashed into the skittish boy with unruly hair and beautifully mismatched eyes, but there's just something that arashi can't quite put her finger on, how familiar he seems to be, as if arashi has known him for months, for years, for millennia--
it all comes to a head and clicks when arashi realises that mika can see her wings, long, white feathers only visible to her soulmate. she's a knight in this lifetime and he's an apprentice to one of the castle's five magicians and this is the first time in several lifetimes where they've found each other this early (not that mika would know this) and-- ]
You can see them?
[ --she has to check. she can't imagine mika lying to her, he's not like that, but she has to make sure. ]
[ mika has to admit, running dead into a pillar in the middle of the castle was not his finest moment.
he didn't plan on doing it, but he also didn't plan on seeing the most beautiful person he's ever seen in his entire life, and he didn't plan on seeing her with wings. it had just been a passing glance, at first, when he was scurrying through the castle, but the beautiful angel girl came and picked him up off the ground when he fell.
mika's always been a bit squirmy around guys, other people in the castle. he sticks close to oshi-san and avoids other people, but when arashi giggles at him and helps him up, mika finds she's the easiest person to talk to in the whole place. he keeps the secret, berates himself for being an idiot for thinking he saw such a thing, but the more time he spend with her, the more obvious they become.
wings. naru-chan's a real angel.
so, when she confronts him about it, mika looks startled, wide eyed. he looks like he wants to run, actually, anxiety bubbling up in his chest, and the first thing he blurts out is a-- ] 'm sorry, Naru-chan, I didn't mean ta look--!
[ as if he'd seen her naked instead of something like this, but it feels that way. mika feels like he's intruding on a part of her life by saying yes, i see them, but even now, his gaze flickers up to the pristine, beautiful white feathers at her back. ]
[ to be fair, it's not like arashi keeps her wings hidden away.
not when there's only one person who's destined to see them, and she's used to them enough that they don't get in the way all that much. so in all honesty, sometimes it feels like they aren't even there all that much, because of how little attention they draw in general for something so ethereal.
but it's easy to notice, after a while - how mika's gaze flickers over them more than a few times, enough for her to catch on that it's probably not just some kind of coincidence.
his reaction now just about confirms it completely, though, and when mika looks like he's about to bolt, wide eyed and startled, it's mostly on instinct that she reaches out to grab his arm, her fingers closing around his arm to keep him from running.
it takes her a moment before her grip loosens a little, like she's vaguely aware that she could hurt him. to her credit, her voice is still mostly steady. ]
No-- it's okay, Mika-chan, I-- [ and there's a sharp inhale, and it's subconscious, when she lets her wings unfurl further-- of course he doesn't remember anything from their previous lifetimes, not yet at least.
... and then it registers dimly that this really shouldn't be the kind of conversation they should be having in the middle of the hallway, hence why she quickly tugs him into a small alcove where they're reasonably hidden.
and the subsequent brush of her wings against his arm when she does so is just enough to count as accidental(ly on purpose), so she's just watching his reaction closely. ]
There's nothing wrong with being able to see them, it's just--
[ Summer always seems like an endless parade of festivals and lives but for once, Trickstar managed to have this particular round off. That didn't mean Mao wasn't going to be around to help where he could, but once the show was underway, he took it as a chance to get away and, for one evening, let somebody else do all the work. He knew it was what Keito would've told him to do anyway, and it wasn't like Akatsuki and Undead had any shortage of people willing to step in to help them out backstage if they needed it.
He originally planned to head home but heading from the stage through the school grounds, he thinks he sees a familiar silhouette on the roof. Mao stops and shields his hand with one eye; even the low light of the evening might be tricking his eyes. ]
[ subaru loves going to lives almost as much as he loves performing them. (almost: nothing can really outshine being on stage.) the performers, the thousands of penlights waving in the air... it's a twinkly, sparkly atmosphere, one subaru can't really get enough of! he helped out a little bit here and there (mostly, he played with leon while gami-san was tuning his guitar), but for the most part, he was happy to be a spectator on a particularly spectacular event.
though, when it ends, subaru's not quite ready to let that feeling go. that's why he's chased that excitement up to the top of the roof, where he can look up and see a thousand sparkly stars if he tries hard enough.
he's standing up on the roof, currently, hands over his eyes as if that would help him see better--when he hears mao, though, subaru stops what he's doing and leaaaans over the edge of the roof. ] Sari!!
[ he clicks on his pen light and turns it bright, trickstar red, then cycles to blue, then red, then blue... obnoxious. ] Come up, you should come up!~ The stars are so~o sparkly up here!
