No.

[ she's chopping her head with a hand. ]

Not like that. Like... you've run out of things to say, but it's fine. All you want is them beside you. The silence isn't uncomfortable, or feels like it needs to be interrupted or filled, it's just you, them, and the ambiance of the world around you.

[ a sigh. romantic. ]
singurarity: (Sorry to interrupt)

[personal profile] singurarity 2024-11-16 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so you're speaking from experience.
makeine: (85 can be done now; okay?)

[personal profile] makeine 2024-11-16 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ yeah, all the books and movies she's lived vicariously through and fantasized for herself. ]

Well? Don't you agree it's important? I couldn't be with someone I felt like I had to keep the conversation going with. I'd want to feel like I, well, want to keep it going. Because I'm interested in him, and I want to hear his voice more and more.

[ just one more minute, one more minute more...

... she's pressing her hand to her mouth. ]


... Ugh. I shoulda hit him earlier like I wanted to.
singurarity: (Oh.  GOD.  No.)

[personal profile] singurarity 2024-11-16 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Hit him?? What'd he do??

[ This can't be Will, can it?! ]
makeine: (87 what you do with this time)

[personal profile] makeine 2024-11-16 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Akechi-kun, I mean. I get why Lemon-chan runs all the time now...

[ that's because of will, though. ]
singurarity: (Yesterday is retroactive)

[personal profile] singurarity 2024-11-16 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'll go running with you. If you want?

I'm glad you didn't hit him. I can get why you'd want to, but I think you might end up feeling worse about it than better, in the end.
makeine: (14 into something fun)

[personal profile] makeine 2024-11-16 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's definitely the thing I'm gonna regret not doing the most.

[ she's still annoyed!!!!! that's all!!!! ]

I'd love a run. I mean, I'm not an athlete by far, but as long as you don't make me do a 100 meter dash in under twelve seconds, I think I can keep up.

[ lemon truly is amazing. so fast, so determined, so...

... brave. ]
singurarity: (I can't wait to get home)

[personal profile] singurarity 2024-11-16 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a volleyball player, not a track star! We can just do a lap or two and see how you feel after that.

[ Offering her hand! ]
makeine: (75 that wrap little me up)

[personal profile] makeine 2024-11-16 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ does she want one right now...

... just one. she'll take ritsuka's hand. ]


Just one's fine. We've gotta give our two cents on everyone and their possibilities still, after all! Since we did so good the first time.
singurarity: (La-di-da-da-day)

[personal profile] singurarity 2024-11-16 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry. We'll be back in no time, this is just for a change of pace!

[ Off we go!! ]
makeine: (39 you can't change)

[personal profile] makeine 2024-11-16 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ great!!!!!!!









okay honestly she wants to lay down after their run so give her a minute to recover. floor time is nice, komari's got the right of it. ]


What kinda worries do you have?
singurarity: (Should we kill him)

[personal profile] singurarity 2024-11-16 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Big ones. Bigger than me.

[ Simply that, as she sits down to start stretching. ]
makeine: (136 you made me cry)

[personal profile] makeine 2024-11-16 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Fine. What's your earthly ones?

[ normal ones. she should stretch too. she will in a bit. ]

The things you worried about in school. When you weren't... I dunno. Being a mother.
singurarity: (Sorry to interrupt)

[personal profile] singurarity 2024-11-16 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Wondering if I studied enough for the math quiz or thinking about finding a job for the summer... or if I should spend it getting more volleyball practice in...
makeine: (108 i'm super cute right now!)

[personal profile] makeine 2024-11-16 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Romance has never been on your mind, huh?

[ amused more than disbelieving. anna sits up slowly with a groan, rubbing her legs. ]

... It's not like it's ever been the only thing on mine, but... I guess I've thought about it a lot more than the average girl. You could say that's why I'm so confident in what I believe.

[ ... ]

Will-kun... is more like you. He has worries way bigger than himself. So big, they're pretty unimaginable to me.
singurarity: (I wanna see you kick above your waist)

[personal profile] singurarity 2024-11-16 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ She pauses, bent over one leg. ]

You know, though? What really helps the people with worries like that?
makeine: (70 all this time)

[personal profile] makeine 2024-11-16 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
A night with the other salarymen at the local izakaya?

[ drinking to forget....... ]
singurarity: (An aria to rule them all)

[personal profile] singurarity 2024-11-16 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
We're underage. [ cheerfully. ]

So no. But it helps to have people like you, who help us feel a little more normal. That sort of thing doesn't happen very often, and I'm sure Will really appreciate having you.
makeine: (121 notifications for my messages)

[personal profile] makeine 2024-11-16 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ she asked!!!!! anna answered!!!!!

but

really? it's so simple.

... though... he did say her reason hadn't been selfish. and he'd liked such a small thing about her too, spoken with no hesitation. anna feels her cheeks warm again and shakes her head, starting her stretches. if only ritsuka knew the real reason they're together. ]


Sure, but think about it in my shoes. There's no way I could understand them. Even if I want to. All I can do is cheer him on.

[ which. seems to be enough for him, the memory of his bright smile lingering in mind. is it the lingering run that's causing her increased heart rate, or is it that? ]

That's really enough?
singurarity: (The star of the show)

[personal profile] singurarity 2024-11-16 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
It really is. Like obviously, I don't know everything Will is worried about. It could be completely different from what I'm dealing with, and it probably is.

But it's because there's no way you can get it but you still want to support him that means a lot. In my case, if someone didn't get it and didn't even want to think about it, I wouldn't blame them at all. But that sort of level of "hey, I still want to be there for you" means you're really thinking a lot about that person, even if you can't fully get what they're going through.

And that comes through, trust me.

[ A pause, and Ritsuka laughs, ruefully. ]

That's how it is to me, anyway. I can't speak for Will, but I get the feeling he might feel the same.
makeine: (93 the marguerite daisy)

[personal profile] makeine 2024-11-16 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...

guess there's things will wouldn't understand that she's gone through, too. things she wouldn't want him to understand. heartbreak's a terrible thing. ]


I'm gonna work so hard to find you a partner you can rely on, Ritsuka-chan.
singurarity: (A show-stoppin' number)

[personal profile] singurarity 2024-11-16 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I think in terms of people who need help, you might be better off focusing on some of the others, Anna-chan.

[ Even though she's Like This. ]

Things will probably fall into place for me with a little more time. We've got a good bunch here.
makeine: (52 the meaning of 'loving')

[personal profile] makeine 2024-11-16 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Most of us are good. I've still got a bone to pick with Akechi-kun and Minami-kun.

[ she can't give him a mean nickname and not akechi so it's back to actual names.

... and then there's... no, whatever. she can't include her with them. not a day. ]


One doesn't believe in love and the other... really gets under my skin. He's gonna be unbearable if he picks Will-kun and is right.
singurarity: (When all I wanna do)

[personal profile] singurarity 2024-11-16 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
From what I can tell with Akechi-kun, he hasn't really had any experiences that have helped him believe in love in the first place. And Minami...

[ Hm. ]

... I don't know, sometimes his personality also seems a little bit different, so I'm not sure what to think about it. But he also said there are other people he's interested in, so...
makeine: (08 and other stuff)

[personal profile] makeine 2024-11-16 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Then why doesn't he just say their names! I mean--

[ a huff. face on the ground time. ]

Nevermind. This is the kinda thing you'd see week three in a show like this, not week one. I'll hold off until then.

[ her ranting... ]
