puppycrush2 | week three

So, uh.

Welcome to Week Three! We’ve officially passed the halfway point, and after a super, duper successful Match Ceremony, I’m sure the teens are feeling all hyped up and raring to go.

Right?

Regardless, there are a few changes this Monday morning to greet the teens:

First off, there is a new bathroom! Oooh, aaaahhhh. Three whole bathrooms in the house for the teens now. Enjoy.
There is also a set of video games in the living room to connect to the TV. They are pretty much all multiplayer party games like M*rio C*rt. Don’t kill each other.
There are a few packs of dorayaki now scattered around the house.
There is also a piano now in the living room!
On the counter in the kitchen, there is also some paper and writing implements, like basic ballpoint pens. Wait, doesn’t that break the rules?

Tsukasa’s extremely loud and obnoxious voice is not here to greet you guys this morning, which means it seems there isn’t a Task for the week–

But something else seems to be going on.

They get it, they just don't like it. They'd rather be someone and something I'm not so I don't hurt their feelings or make them feel bad.

But they're the one imposing what they want on me, not the other way around.

[ he's actually left those people who can't stand him alone, relatively speaking. he's been a good demon!

*citation needed. ]

[ he's been

an acceptable demon!!!!!!!!!!

*citation still needed.

she waves her spoon in annoyance. ]

So is it like, any wonder that they end up mad then? They're the ones setting themselves up for disappointment. I wouldn't wanna act the way someone tells me I should either, I'd just turn around and be more myself than ever. Like when Akechi-kun was harping on romance and stuff the other week.

[ hmph!!!!!!!! ]

I mean, not that you're into any of that either, but whatever. He couldn't even stick around and admit I was right. Prideful bastard. I wanted to put his face into the ground so, so badly Minami-kun.

That's letting him off too easy, but that wouldn't kill him...

[ now he's distracted imagining all the things he wants to do to akechi and can't. he should focus. ]

He's not gonna ever say you're right you know, at least not seriously. And he's not gonna stop being a bitch until he gets what he wants, but he can't get it anymore and he doesn't really want it anymore either. So he's gonna be miserable and whine and complain which is annoying, but wouldn't be as annoying if people would just let him rot.

Instead of trying sooooo hard and getting brushed off or worse for it.

[ hmph. anna stares down into her mostly empty glass and

something clicks.

... ]

What're his dreams like, Minami-kun? Or nightmares. Whichever.

[ his voice slips into a lower register, smooth and cold as a blade. ]

I haven't looked. If I looked I wouldn't be able to stop myself from killing him or having him kill himself. It'd be so easy.

"No one will ever want you."

"All those accolades and for what? Everyone still hates you and you still hate yourself."

"Did you actually think someone would pick you over someone else? You did, which is why you're so angry. You did, which is why you're so hurt. You're an idiot but you let yourself hope anyway and now you can't do anything other than watch them be happy together at your expense."

I could do it in my sleep, hahaha.

[ a shiver runs down her spine, the natural discomfort of humanity faced with the uncaring, frivolous nature of a demon, and anna

doesn't necessarily feel guilty for asking, or bad for how she's acted towards akechi -- she's the one who's always brought up how his merits are useless again and again, if only because he'd dismissed her own humanities where he had none... but she does empathize with him, because she understands. wanting someone to pick her over someone else. the fact she was lucky enough to find someone who would, who did...

... is definitely something she can't and won't take for granted. she scrapes the last bits of cream from the glass and pushes it aside, tilting her head from side to side. ]

Yeah, I get it. The last thing. But maybe that's another reason I can't stand him -- when Sosuke and Karen-chan got together, I didn't take it out on either of them. I was still their friend, and I still went along with what they wanted to do, even if I hated every second of it because I was hurt. But Sosuke and I had been friends from childhood, and I loved him that long. So maybe it's different enough. I just don't... see the point in hurting the people you hoped you'd be important to.

[ since even here, she. knows. that will will always choose akechi, for the sake of everyone's wishes, and she's unhappy about it even if he's chosen her outside of that -- she can't help it, she wants to be everything the way he's everything. it's stupid.

(but being young and in love is stupid, it's natural.) ]

If he hadn't slapped Will-kun's hand away, then maybe he'd be a little happier. I'd hate them being friends, considering Akechi-kun's feelings towards me, but... Whatever. Will-kun's stronger than Akechi-kun thinks. It's not like I tell him to do something and he'll do it if he doesn't already wanna.

Spite, revenge, wanting no one else to have what you can't.

[ he plays with the piece of starfruit left in his glass before eating it. ]

Who cares about his happiness? He obviously doesn't. If he wanted, he could have Kat or Mark probably. He could've been friends with Will too. But he doesn't want pity or seconds, but that's all he'll ever get by acting like a bitch.

You really, really don't like him, huh.

[ like

she gets it she's in this hater club too

but damn, minami could be prez. ]

Some people love to dig their own graves, and he's got a gold in it. Well, whatever. At least he oughta be able to wish for something that'll grant him like, a grain of happiness if he thinks about it and doesn't just toss the game like we're thinking he might.

I've broken people for far less.

[ hates too strong a term in a way because if minami had his way he wouldn't exist anymore, poof, just like that. ]

And if he even wants that. [ shrug. ] He shouldn't have been given a choice this week.

I totally agree. If he's gonna act like a child, he's gonna get treated like one.

[ if minami's done, she'll take his glass so she can wash them both. responsible. ]

It's best for everyone else. But even if they get that, they're...

[ ... a wave of her hand. how's she put it nicely. ]

Bleeding hearts. Or have something in common. Or whatever. Humans are dumb.

[ he is! and he certainly won't be cleaning up for himself, so ty Anna.]

And gross. If anyone actually gets stuck with him, I'd almost feel bad.
