" You just always decide after you already got home? "

Sure, this is kinda bland conversation, but it's relaxing after a day of studying.

" I do too, but I've heard a bunch of other people talk about it like they've always got it figured out before. "

she didn ' t think that Natsuki was able to understand the difficulties within her mind , so she looked down to her at the change of the topic .

“ I usually do not . . ”

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

She can tell SOMETHING is off, but.. Not what, not even a decent guess, so she decides to put a mental pin in it, opening the door for her as they finally head out of the school, bathed in amber light.

" Anyway, any plans for the night? "

[~ 𝒯𝐻𝐸 𝒫𝒰𝑅𝒫𝐿𝐸 𝒫𝒪𝐸𝒯 ~ @TheEyeInTheBook]

“ I always know how to take care of myself . . ”

in all honesty , those words hit the poet like a truck . her gaze moved to look at her arm , a slight worry stepping inside of her head .

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

@MoodyStreamer I know, I know, come here, you.

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

@MoodyStreamer Damn. Good luck!

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

@SkyBluePoetry Proof???

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

Sayori you don't even have a job. Unless this is how you're telling me you have one.

[Sayori @SkyBluePoetry]

They call me the sandwich.

No matter how you flip me, my bread is always on top.

" It's not about seeing it, I don't want someone I care about to get hurt. "

Reaching up to ruffle her hair would feel kinda embarrassing, so.. She does it to Yuri's shoulder instead.

" So try and take care of yourself, okay? "

[~ 𝒯𝐻𝐸 𝒫𝒰𝑅𝒫𝐿𝐸 𝒫𝒪𝐸𝒯 ~ @TheEyeInTheBook]

“ I am unsure if you would see it anyway . . ”

she spoke , lifting her arms and moving the bangs away .

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

" Careful, if you walk like that you're gonna end up bumping into a wall. "

She can't help a warm grin growing, seeing Yuri's usual cool demeanor melt down a bit. Just for her.

" Unless you WANT a big bruise on your forehead. "

[~ 𝒯𝐻𝐸 𝒫𝒰𝑅𝒫𝐿𝐸 𝒫𝒪𝐸𝒯 ~ @TheEyeInTheBook]

the blush couldn ' t hide for much longer , but her bangs sufficed and covered those orbs .

“ . . . mhm . ”

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

@glitchedpoems YOUR options limited? In LOVE?

( Natsuki scoffs, amused by the idea. )

Monika, you could probably have whoever you wanted in this school, I can't think of a single person who doesn't like you. You could have basically whatever you want with whoever if you put your mind to it.

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

@MxdernSiren We could, we could..

[ Holding her chin in a faux-thoughtful pose. ]

And what would you want to cosplay?

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

I think everyone's at least a LITTLE bit of a freak behind closed doors. It's just normal. I'd be more weirded out by someone who DIDN'T have at least one embarrassing secret.

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

@UND3RTHEL1GHT [ Nodding along, not catching that it wasn't really in her direction. ]

The effort wouldn't really have been worth it if we just stopped, yeah.

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

Her words stagger for a moment, but she pushes herself to seize the gap she's been given, wondering if it was on purpose.

" I mean.. Wasn't that kinda obvious, at this point? We haven't really officially said it, but like.. I hang out with you way more than the others. "

[~ 𝒯𝐻𝐸 𝒫𝒰𝑅𝒫𝐿𝐸 𝒫𝒪𝐸𝒯 ~ @TheEyeInTheBook]

“ . . . you . . enjoy me more than a friend . a . . best friend , maybe ? ”

she was trying her best to get through to the tiny pinkette .

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

@UND3RTHEL1GHT [ Seeing her genuinely happy like that.. She can't help how her heart skips a beat. ]

I mean, it wasn't THAT bad when we started, but.. We've come a long way to be who we are now. And I'm glad.

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

" Trying to tell you what? "

Looking up to her as she turns her gaze down, keeping the pace, but wondering if she really should..

[~ 𝒯𝐻𝐸 𝒫𝒰𝑅𝒫𝐿𝐸 𝒫𝒪𝐸𝒯 ~ @TheEyeInTheBook]

“ are you trying to tell me you . . ”

she stopped herself , the hand coming to her hair again as she walked , just staring to the floor . her insecurities ravaging her mind .

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

@UND3RTHEL1GHT Mhm. I think I used to be like that, but I'm really trying to be better. I don't want to be that sad, annoying kind of person. My friends deserve better, I do, too.

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

And that she does, trying to keep pace to the side of her. It's late enough that there shouldn't be anyone else around to complain..

" We just get each other, it's comfy, I don't know. "

[~ 𝒯𝐻𝐸 𝒫𝒰𝑅𝒫𝐿𝐸 𝒫𝒪𝐸𝒯 ~ @TheEyeInTheBook]

“ right . . ”

that was all she said before she started walking past her , walking just slow enough so that the other could catch up to her tall figure .

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

@glitchedpoems ( Natsuki doesn't keep it 100%, feels a bit weird.. But she tries not to be rude, at least. )

Like.. Friendships, enemies, rivals, familial.. That sort of thing? Or something else?

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

" If I didn't like your company, I wouldn't offer. "

Offering a genuine, warm smile. Not the most common, from her.

" Ready to get going when you are. "

[~ 𝒯𝐻𝐸 𝒫𝒰𝑅𝒫𝐿𝐸 𝒫𝒪𝐸𝒯 ~ @TheEyeInTheBook]

she caught the implication , especially hearing the shorter girl correct herself .

“ I ' m not much company . ”

[𝒩𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓀𝒾 🧁 @ItsJustNatsuki]

Didn't realise the implications. Fuck. Stalling for a second, not exactly hiding her own fluster.

" Yeah..! I mean, why not? "

[~ 𝒯𝐻𝐸 𝒫𝒰𝑅𝒫𝐿𝐸 𝒫𝒪𝐸𝒯 ~ @TheEyeInTheBook]

“ you . . wish to walk me home ? ”

her face turned red again , her hand coming to hide it behind her locks of lavender hair .
