@haru_okumuraCEO

“Hey, Haru, you got a minute?”

He’s knocking on the door to her home, shoving his hands in his pockets.

Is it getting hotter out, or is he just nervous ?

Who knows.

@haru_okumuraCEO “…I can’t tell you..”

He really he wants to, but, he ain’t sure if she’ll be receptive to it.

“I see. Quite troubling indeed, me. Have you considered simply explaining this misunderstanding?

I am quite certain it would benefit all.”

[𝗬𝗨𝗦𝗨𝗞𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗪𝗔 @WhyKitagawa]

Hello, Yusuke… It is nice to see you again.

I come to say something out of the pure love and admiration of my heart and become ridiculed…

I am not sure how to go about this particular event without doing my utmost to just pretend I never said such a thing.

@haru_okumuraCEO “Huh, why are you giving it back?”

[— 𝐊𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰. @UNBOUNDBYTIME]

@haru_okumuraCEO “You doin’ okay, Haru? You look a little down..l

He sits down with her, offering her a chance to talk to him about her troubles.

[— 𝐊𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰. @UNBOUNDBYTIME]

“I could take ya back in time to Hawaii.”

A beat, then,

“…actually, i’d probably have to take everyone else and I don’t think my Time Mazine has room for everyone..”

[𝐑𝐲𝐮𝐣𝐢 𝐒𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐨.ᐟ ☠︎︎ @VULG4RBL0ND3]

...The trip to Hawaii just got cancelled. I was really excited too. This is how stuff always goes for me 'n that's fine.

@haru_okumuraCEO A sigh.

“…Pretty stupid, ain’t I?”

[— 𝐊𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰. @UNBOUNDBYTIME]

@haru_okumuraCEO He steps in, immediately feeling out of place.

“Well, I just— ugh- why is this so freakin’ hard??”

He groans.

“….I didn’t have friends growin’ up, and when I got the Ohma Driver, I got scared. Scared that if I didn’t use all that power, I’d lose my new best friends..”

[— 𝐊𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰. @UNBOUNDBYTIME]

@haru_okumuraCEO “Off to a great start.”

He mumbles.

“So uh, I said a lotta shit to people I didn’t mean when i was Ohma, and I uh—“

oh boy, this is going tremendously.

“…wanted to say sorry. That wasn’t me talkin’…and Yusuke is my friend, and I—“

He’s rambling.
