[ . . . . he looks away a little bit - but sometimes you're just used to being a meat shield and a guardian without expecting anything in return.]

... yeah. It's what I'd wanna do.

[just. admitting that. and he seems to think about it for a little longer before he just nods]

... mm. We can be friends.

[alteracion]

[ hm. there's definitely some concern from her there but she doesn't linger on it and instead reaches up to ruffle his hair ]

You almost sound reluctant! I'll have you know I'm a great friend.

[sengokus]

[sdlfkjsdf HIS HAIR!!! he tries to duck away but lmao]

That's - not what I was doubting...!

[just whether she'd be a great friend to him]

Hey...!

[alteracion]

[ she stops when she has ruined his hair only. rip ]

But you were doubting something. [ he has admitted that much, which is a trap ] Wanna talk about it?

[sengokus]

[his HAAIIIRRRR he's just grumbling a little and going to look for a reflective surface to fix it. HIS STYLE, GRACE

and not because he doesn't want to face her when she asks that question either]

... trust doesn't come easy.

That's all. You're probably a good person and all, it's just -

... nothing personal.

[but he'll at least try to be honest with her about that much. they can still be friends - he's just... guarded.]

[ if he can't find any nearby she will be nice and offer him her compact mirror. do your make up, mineo.

but he says that and she doesn't look offended, just... a little sad? ]

You've been hurt before, haven't you? By someone you trusted.

[sengokus]

[oh - he looks surprised at the offer, but nods his gratitude out as he redoes his stupid high samurai ponytail. stupid.

though he

also very obviously flinches when she says that]

.... sorry.

I don't like talking about it.

[she's right - he's just. not ready to unpack it.]

[alteracion]

It's okay. [ she sounds like she means it, too, looking at him with concern still ] You don't have to. I get it. Stuff like that... it stays with you.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . but does it stay with people the same way it stays with him? to the point that he—

he straightens up once he's done with his hair, clearing his throat]

Anyway -

How about we play a game?! Like friends. That's good for bonding, right? I bet I can give your score a run for its money.

[alteracion]

[ she clips her mirror closed and smirks. she is willing to let it go! she said he didn't have to talk about it and she means it, so she's back to casual ]

You think so? I'm really good at games.

[sengokus]

Yeah! I wouldn't say it if I wasn't sure!

[because he's a nerd who is down to play a few rounds of DDR this is our new CR trend zia]

[alteracion]

Then let's dance!

[ this is not the worst possible cr trend, but also, she totally grabs his wrist to drag him up on the ddr machine to start it up because what if it took him .2 seconds longer? horrid ]
