THE CONFESSION MEME.

i really, really, really like you! and now it's time to say so, just in time for valentine's day. how will you confess your feelings? through a letter in a shoe locker? face to face? with an "check box if you like me" note? the possibilities are endless!!

this is an open meme, so feel free to tag/share!

[ HONEY.

mika kagehira is probably the least smooth person on the planet. nazuna's minding his own business, heading down to the broadcasting room to check the sound settings before the afternoon broadcast starts, when mika's loud "nnha!" noise gets his attention. he looks up, confused, and then watches him disappear into a room like a startled cat.

haven't they moved past this? nazuna's brow furrows, and he ends up, indeed, going to check on him, opening the classroom door and poking his head in. ] ...Kagehira?

[allforshu]

[he's actually not that far from the door, staring down at nazuna with a naive amount of shock at actually being checked on, hands clutching at the air and then his blazer.]

N-Nazunanii! G'afternoon! How're ya doin'! M'fine!

[mika's so stiff and he knows it though, hating himself for his nervousness and awkwardness. it's a new sort of paired motion and he doesn't get why, it's just nazuna and nazuna would definitely appreciate anything given to him in earnesty, just like the gift mika had worked hard on in his first year. the thought of that moment, the little smile, how nazuna had done his best to croak out his thanks--

it sends his heart into a wild pitter patter and mika laughs nervously, glancing away.]

Em, um, I really am~. 'fore ya ask! Promise!

[pronounces]

[ ok.jpg ]

[ hes absolutely stiff. something is clearly wrong, and it's a little charming if not worrying that mika thinks he's doing a good job hiding it. nazuna's brows knit together and his eyes narrow just a bit, as if he's looking him over. ]

Did something happen? [ is what he tries, rather than "is something wrong". what did itsuki say, is what his brain supplies almost immediately, and he scolds himself for it mentally, just a little. ] It startled me when you ducked around the corner like that...

[allforshu]

Uh... Nnah, nothin' happened, I'm uh. Hidin'. From someone. 'Cause I'm tryin' t'figure out if I oughta get 'em chocolates or just, um, tell 'em how I feel.

[-- oh my god that sounds like a Confession he's waving his hands with a panicked look!!!]

F-Fer like, helpin' me and stuff! I wanna thank 'em...

[... probably just that.]

[pronounces]

[ oh. oh!! how sweet...! mika has a crush. well... nazuna would be pretty stunned if it wasn't shu, and his heart twists up in his chest, just a little, with worry for his former unit mate, but. it's not his place to intervene, since he's not a member of valkyrie anymore.

but "thank em" sounds a little less like "confess my love to oshisan", so.

he smiles anyway, clasping his hands together. ] That's sweet of you, Mikachin! Do you need help? I might be able to give you a little advice...

[ and then, with barely a pause. ] Maybe give them a thoughtful gift?

[allforshu]

[a thoughtful gift... yeah, just like before... but what would nazuna like..? he's gotten better at handicrafts, but he's still far from perfect; nazuna would appreciate whatever he put forth though, right?

he doesn't have time to waste with pussyfooting though. there's only so much time before graduation.]

Nn... That could work. I dunno the sorta stuff they'd wanna have, though? An' our tastes are kinda different too, so it ain't like I can go off of mine... To be honest, I... I don't know them that well.

[anymore, it feels like. the nazuna he knew back then and the one he knows now have some core similarities -- always kind, always reliable -- but there's so many differences it feels like he's looking at someone new. it makes his chest ache a bit and he clutches at his shirt, expression clearly frustrated.]

[pronounces]

[ he actually wants his help...this feels familiar, nice. nazuna's going to do his best to provide mika with the best big brotherly advice he can possibly manage...even if he thinks shu isn't the best choice for him to date, if that's who it is. he'll keep that to himself.

instead, he'll play along, and he hums, putting a hand on his chin, thoughtful. ] Hmm.... well, what's the person like?

[ maybe that'll help! ]

hey sisicha happy holidays

[allforshu]

[what're they like.................... oh god.

mika's grip tightens and he shifts on his feet, glancing down at nazuna and then back at his feet. oh god. nazuna'd definitely sniff him out right? he'd definitely figure it out if mika described him right? wait, it's just a gift of appreciation (it's a confession.) then he has no reason to be so worried!!!!




ugh!!! this is the worst!!! mika twists his hands in his blazer again, then drops his hands behind his back to twist them there.]

Ehehe... Um... Nn, they're real kind. Even t'people who don't deserve it. Warm an' nice and cute. I respect 'em a lot, 'cause they're always helpin' others and bringin' smiles wherever they go, they really care about the people 'round 'em. I gotta figure somethin' out soon though, 'cause they're graduatin' sooner than me and I... I don't think I'm gonna see 'em again.

[maybe... he's not entirely sure what'll happen after school, after all... it's really important to tell nazuna how thankful he is now, before it's maybe too late -- this is something he knows for sure, beyond all doubt.]
