@2DimensiMenfess :: i have a lot to say D: to the writer, at least.

glad to see you alive and kicking! we miss you.

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@2DimensiMenfess :: hi, it's been awhile. if you would be so kind, could you reach out to me personally?

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

:: sorry for the sudden appearance.

i wanted to say that i really admire @oninotsuno . i was hoping that i could.. maybe write again with them someday.

pushing my luck here to see if i can get in touch with the person behind ibaraki or the character himself.

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@SLUNGL0W :: all he needs is love, man

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@NiveousIridia :: you are very sweet, writer! i hope one day you'll feel accomplished with yuuki's development. for michael, i have been taking break for a few months now. i couldn't bear to delete the account because i still love my oc😌

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@NiveousIridia :: hello, yuuki's writer! i really appreciate the offer! but i doubt i can write for michael for long. i realized he's a little too complicated and his interpretation of happiness is.. pretty hard to achieve.

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@F4DEDHE4RT He's still eyeing you, only to decide then to lean closer and whisper. "We're in public. Someone might overhear our conversation."

When he inched away, he was grinning with mischief. "Is your store open? Let's go there instead."

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@SLUNGL0W "Old habits die hard, you know?" When the blond laughs, a puff of cloud formed. And perhaps he used such a sheer fog to thaw out his palms as he raised them near his lips and rubbed them together.

"Lead the way, Vinci. McD's fine." He nudged the younger.

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@F4DEDHE4RT "I told you, didn't I?" Michael sighed. "And I don't think it's appropriate to tell the world for the details."

When he shifted his face at you, he smiled.

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@SLUNGL0W .. was a bad habit of mine, to not hang out with someone who's dating. ...Is it true, though?" Before he knew it, Michael was already wheezing. Wintry night in March sure is peculiar. "Let's sit down somewhere warm, shall we?"

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@SLUNGL0W 𝐇𝐞's not here. He's 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 here. It should be okay.

Michael would let go, followed by another huff. Fingertips reaching the edges of his coat to tighten it — in order to reclaim warmth that's suddenly missing.

"Ah, my apologies." Forced chuckles let out. "It ..

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@SLUNGL0W Never in his mind that he'd receive such a childish pampering. But nothing he will not comply, obviously. "Yeah? And you'll come running, Vinci? I don't think it's a good idea."

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@F4DEDHE4RT He's silent for a tad bit. "Well, uh. That's not what I'm trying to say, but okay. You do you, I suppose."

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@FourthClarus Michael's eyes blinked. Once, twice. Then he began patting his coat pocket.

"Uh, I think I only have mouth freshener right now."

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@FourthClarus "You do?" Michael nodded. "Alright. I'll keep that in mind."

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@FourthClarus Chuckles. He didn't mind the gesture, just that the blond strands are blocking his vision now; hence why fixing the hairstyle.

"Are you going to protest that you don't like my gift? It was cheap, after all."

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@F4DEDHE4RT The more you explain, the more confused he becomes. "Did you win some lottery or something, Henry?"

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@F4DEDHE4RT "...Why did you join an auction for a camel?" His brows furrowed. "Well— she is. But is it right to take care of a camel in this weather?"

[𝙈𝙤𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙡. @carpedicm]

@FourthClarus "Cover your mouth, at least." He softly cooed, grinning in response. "Hello, Dev."
