she thinks i'm crazy

[deceases]

Who: Natsuno and Akazawa
When: November 24th
Where: Natsuno's house
What: Akazawa is fed up and pretty emotional after a few things and there's only one person she can take it out on. #natsuno's life sucks
Warnings: Probably nothing, will edit if there's anything.

[ He's still not quite over his physical changes. That's what annoys him most about the situation, really. He doesn't mind being out of Sotoba, even if he knows he has to return, he has to solve everything that's been going on there one way or another.. but being away for a while isn't too bad. What's bad is that he's slowly being transformed into what he despises most, he's becoming more and more like a vampire with every single physical change they get.

So even now he's briefly staring into a mirror, staring at himself - his skin much more pale now, honestly, if he didn't know any better than he could have sworn he just looks like a corpse by now. He raises his upper lip a little, revealing the fangs he has in his mouth.. tch, ridiculous.

He's pulled out of his thoughts by some loud knock on the door though. .. Is that meant for him? Ugh, opening the door and dealing with people is such a bother though, but.. he casually saunters over to the door, opening it. His casualness combined with the way he looks with his pale skin is some really weird contrast by now. ]

Comments

[extrafancy]

[She wasn't sure what kind of changes she was expecting to see from him, but upon seeing his pale skin and everything.... she just narrowed her eyes at him.]

Yuuki-kun.

[That was all she said for the moment, moving to come into his home, shoving past him and going to what she assumed was his room.]

[deceases]

[ Huh, so it's Akazawa showing up on his doorstep again? This time unannounced though, but.. sigh, that's just like her, isn't it? She's just so stubborn, once she has an idea in her mind she'll carry it out until the end. So he just follows her into the house, closing the door again, until they're both in his room instead. At least she has nothing to fear from a bum like him while being in a bedroom alone with a guy.. ]

What's wrong, Akazawa? [ Because he can tell something is up just from that frown, even if his own tone is still a little apathic. ]

[extrafancy]

[When she's in his room she doesn't even bother to sit down, she's merely pacing back and forth. Seriously, she has so many things to say she doesn't even know what to say. She brings a hand up to her mouth, biting her thumb as she paces.]

People here are crazy, you know that? Someone told me they don't value human lives and another said they enjoy cutting people up.... I mean... honestly...!

[deceases]

[ .. She's nervous? At first he doesn't get it, especially since nothing is going on in particular.. but then she speaks up and he's already slowly starting to get more of an idea here. ]

You only figured out just now? [ Okay, he's only talked to one person like that before, but he figured there's probably more - there's people like that anywhere, really.. ] There's always freaks no matter where you go. I guess the people in charge here just like throwing them together on one island for some reason. [ His own tone is still pretty apathic. ]

[extrafancy]

Yeah but...

[She stops pacing... she turns to look at him.]

They're... [she can't even find the right words.]

[deceases]

What? [ He glances over at her, but lazily flops down to sit on the bed as he stares. ]

If they annoy you, then just don't talk to them. That's my policy. [ And it's why you don't have friends, Natsuno.. ] Just ignore them, then there's no problem, right?

[extrafancy]

But...

[she turns to look at him... crossing her arms, but if one looked closer it might look like she's wrapping her arms around herself, seemingly less confident than she usually is.]

....I just... hearing that someone enjoyed murder it... it actually scared me a little.

[deceases]

[ ... Huh. This really is getting weirder and weirder. Not that he hasn't seen her vulnerable before, she's showed herself like that to him before, but.. he figured it was something rare, rare enough that he'd probably never see it again. And here she is, just showing that tiny hint of insecurity..

It's a little strange. Even if he doesn't comment on it out loud, it gerts him to think. ]

Since you think they'll do something to you too?

[extrafancy]

[[She blinks, just staring down at the floor in front of her now. That's... definitely why she's scared- right? It was all just so... so much different than the curse she's used to.]

....Maybe.

[a good enough answer.]

[deceases]

[ At first he sighs like he's bothered. He's not though, it's just.. more or less a default response as he's trying to figure the situation out. He always has a problem with leaving alone people who are scared or in danger, especially when he knows them.. So even though he usually seems so apathic, he feels obliged to help now. ]

If you think about it logically, they probably won't do anything. They wouldn't get away with it on a small island like this, either we would quickly find out about it or the people in charge might do something reasonable for once and punish them. [ He doubts they would like to see all their kidnapped people suddenly dying, after all. ]

But.. if that doesn't reassure you, I'll help you.

[extrafancy]

[Even if people found out quickly enough, it would all be too late. She would have been hurt... or... someone else could get killed. Sure, they'd know who did it but that doesn't have to do with anything.

At his words though she turns to look at him, blinking in disbelief.]

Sorry? [REPEAT THAT.]

[deceases]

[ WHY DOES HE NEED TO REPEAT IT. This is one of those things he just wants to say and have it done and over with, okay, he doesn't feel like elaborating or explaining!! But fine, fine, although he does sound a little more grumpy because of it. ]

Which part didn't you understand? I said I'd help you.

[extrafancy]

[But why....? It's not like they're friends or anything, right? He's really just someone she shoves round and well... someone she can rely on in this place.

She sighs, moving to sit on his bed.]

And what are you going to do exactly?

[deceases]

[ Yeah, they're definitely not friends or anything. They just know each other, it's that at best-- but that's enough for Natsuno, really, he's heard enough about her situation that he can somewhat understand what she's doing through, fighting so hard by yourself against something.. but he thinks he's the only one who should have to do that by himself, so whenever he notices someone else is doing it he just helps them. Just like now. She doesn't deserve to die, after all.

The question makes him quiet for a moment though, as if he's thinking.. but then he just shrugs. ]

Maybe if I sleep over in your room they can't do anything as easily. [ He doesn't even have anything else in mind, this guy's hormones are just dormant.. but of course it doesn't sound that way. ]

[extrafancy]

[What kind of?!

She turns to look at him, a blush creeping up on her face at that, actually.]

Is this just an excuse to stay in my room, Yuuki-kun...?! [AND SHE CAN FIGHT REALLY WELL ON HER OWN, bitch can shank some whores easily.]

[deceases]

[ WOW NOT LIKE HE KNOWS SHE SHANKS WHORES. Never seen her in action since there never was any particular reason to.. ]

... Why would I want something like that? [ No, seriously. Although a line like that in itself is sort of like an insult, huh.. not like he realises. ]

[extrafancy]

[....just wow.

But she sighs.]

If you really think that will help... then alright. I don't have any roommates now anyways.

[deceases]

It's not like it's something permanent. I thought we could just try it out to see if it helps you feel better about sleeping and all.

[ Not like he cares where he sleeps, either way.. ]

I could just try to drag my mattress over there and sleep on the floor without getting back problems.

[extrafancy]

[....Staaariiinng....

But okay. She nods.]

Bring it over later today then. [yeah she's not going to help drag it.]

[deceases]

[ Rude, Akazawa. No, okay, he expected as much - she didn't seem like the type who'd help, and he isn't one to accept help on this either way.. ]

Yes, ma'am. [ Okay, now that was sarcastic. He can't help but be rude. ] Any other wishes?

[extrafancy]

Don't go poking through my stuff, how about that?

[ya little nasty.]

[deceases]

Do you really think I'm the type to steal panties or whatever?

[ Okay, now his look is maybe a little frustrated. But more in the 'seriously, why can't I be left alone for once' kind of frustrated. Lazy frustration for the win. ]

[extrafancy]

[SAKFAS NATSUNO! But ....ugh. She looks down at her feet, swinging them a bit as she thinks about this entire thing.]

...Not really.

[She looks away from him.]

Why do you think I'm even talking to you about this? I would be a moron if I brought this up to you and I didn't trust you a bit.

[deceases]

[ You reap what you sow, Akazawa!! ]

Then there's no problem with me sleeping over, is there? Besides, from a purely strategical point of view it's better to stick together in a place like this either way, it's always more difficult to take out people when it's in groups.

[ And he can't help but think for a moment of back home, of Tohru - how the guy was bitten despite Natsuno lying there in the same room as him.. no, he won't let that happen again. Not to anyone.

Maybe it's exactly because of that that this feels more important. ]

At least it means they'd target you or me less easily.

[extrafancy]

[She turns, looking at him right in the eyes. She has to make sure she can fully trust him into her room but... she already knows he's not some super weird guy. Just another person like her... well, with pale skin and sharp teeth now.]

...There's no problem, no.

[...]

Thank you.

[deceases]

[ Somehow he feels a little relieved that she's agreeing. Even if he's not quite sure why - it's not like he has any obligation to help her, right? If she doesn't want him to, then that's just the end of it. Or.. well, it should be, but somehow he can't help but feel different, practically beyond himself. Dammit. ]

Don't thank me. [ a shrug - he's already turning it around though, can't look too good!! ] It's just something that'd benefit the both of us in the end.

[extrafancy]

[They're both just too ridiculous for life...]

...Right. I knew a tough guy like you wouldn't do it just to be nice. [She stands up, turning to him, but she has a small smile on her face.]

[deceases]

[ ...

Wait a second. Is she actually smiling? In a way that doesn't mean she's about to make him do some huge favor for her?! If he didn't know any better he'd say it's the Rulers' doing. ]

Exactly. Not like we're something as ridiculous as friends or anything.

[extrafancy]

[Nope, she's actually just happy for once.]

Oh no, of course not. [still. smiling at him.]

[deceases]

[ STILL THAT SMILE. He's so unused to seeing that on her face that it almost unnerves her, seriously..

Okay, he decides to just quickly try and change the subject, this is too weird. ]

So what did those Rulers give you this time? [ Since his' is pretty obvious at first sight.. ]

[extrafancy]

[....Oh Natsuno.

That smile falls, she looks at the ground, crossing her arms once again.]

....I'd rather not say.

[deceases]

.. Why not? [ His expression is mostly like normal, but there might be the tiniest hint of a frown in it. ]

It's not like I care if you keep secrets from me, but I don't see what kind of reason you could have for that.

[ Of course he wouldn't understand, as shameless as he is.. ]

[extrafancy]

[....This guy.

Should she say it or...? Well it's hard to really say it, to really describe it so....ugh. She glares down at him since he's still sitting on that bed while she stands.]

If you tell anyone I did this you're dead.

[She brings her hands to the buttons on her jacket, hesitating, but eventually she undoes them. She lets her jacket fall to the ground before starting on the buttons on her blouse. She unbuttons some of the top, but then stops before anything can be seen. She does the same with the bottom, so at least he can see her stomach and some of her chest, but he can't see anything important. that's right no boobs for him to check out!!

But.... along her stomach and part of her chest is... scarring. She's showing him, turning her head away from him a bit since she's embarrassed from this stupid thing...]

....I'm not too fond of this.

[deceases]

[ .. What's so bad that she would even threaten him over it? But then he notices her going to the jacket and then her top, which just causes him to raise an eyebrow. Don't worry, Akazawa, until they're awakened this guy's hormones are virtually having an extra long winter sleep.. he doesn't even care about seeing a girl naked, honestly, so there's no disappointment at her stopping or anything either.

Instead his gaze turns a little more thoughtful once he notices the scarring. What's that supposed to be..? He can understand her not being fond of it, but it just looks weird to him.

So instead of replying, he's just going to reach out and try to touch it to see what exactly it is. He's pretty oblivious to the fact she'll probably hit him for it. ]

[extrafancy]

[She frowns, moving to slap his hand away. She was showing him, not letting him touch okay!! She huffs at that, moving to do up her blouse now at least.]

Get it? Now I have these.... scars all over and... [she bites her lip at that, obviously annoyed.] ..it's so irritating.

[deceases]

[ There's a grumble because.. seriously, Akazawa, he doesn't even get why you batted his hand away! He does withdraw it fully at that though, even if he's still curious. ]

It's not like it hurts though, right?

[extrafancy]

[At least her blouse is buttoned up all the way now...]

No, not really. It's just overly annoying.

....And pretty ugly looking.

[deceases]

[ .. Yup, she really is a typical girl in the end, isn't she.. who would care about looks with something like this happening?! He'll never understand women, seriously. ]

Nobody's going to notice unless you undress yourself. What are you worrying about? [ At least he's not making an awful remark about it.. ]

[extrafancy]

[a sigh.]

And we were going to go to the beach... I can't do that with this now.

[deceases]

I don't mind looking at them.

[ YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO MATTERS HERE, NATSUNO?! ALSO WHY ARE YOU SAYING THAT SO CASUALLY. ]

[extrafancy]

[AUGH WHAT?!

She elbows him in the gut at that!]

What's.... what's that supposed to mean?!

[deceases]

[ .. A.. AKAZAWA?!

He just grunts at that and then clutches his stomach - geez, that hurt, okay!! ]

What do you [ another grunt ] think it means? I think it's pretty straightforward.

[extrafancy]

What don't you mind looking at?! [DEM BUBS?!]

[deceases]

[ OF COURSE IT'S NOT DEM BUBS! This guy is so uncaring about that kind of stuff, you don't even want to know.. ]

Those marks, of course! Sure, they're weird, but who cares?

[extrafancy]

[oh the marks of course.]

W....well whatever. [she looks away from him, biting her lip a little even.]
