[misaki. @foreverslosts]

i’m happy that i stayed… i got to finally meet you.

( it was stated with a soft laugh, opening the fridge door to grab a drink for himself )

you’ve been my inspiration since like… freshman year. except i’m only known for my art… you’re just… you.

which is way cooler.

[𝓐𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸 @ixiansblade]

[He stayed silent. He didn’t know what to say at the moment.]

…

Right, drinks.

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

i don't think i ever minded it, actually...

( his tone showing a deep sadness as he opened up )

after the ... incident, i almost had to return home and... the thought... it comforted me... that i'd... i'd be home.

( grasping the noodles a bit tighter )

... let's get drinks.

[𝓐𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸 @ixiansblade]

I’m certain.

[A nod. Glancing at the flavors of ramen before watching him grab one of the packages.]

Well unlucky you, I suppose.

[A faint smirk, cocky as usual.]

Sure, it wouldn’t hurt to try.

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

are you sure?

( there's a frown, as he glances to some of the other snacks before back to grab an instant ramen package )

you know, before i left japan... my mom and i basically survived off of these.

( then a small smile, looking over at him )

want to share one with me?

[𝓐𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸 @ixiansblade]

I… think I’m okay. Maybe a drink but that’s it for me.

[He follows him, letting him take his time.]

I’ll just be by you for now.

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

( there's a nod towards the instant noodle section... it seems bigger than that in most of the corner stores around here )

i usually get noodles, sweets and a drink... you can get whatever you want.

( a smile as he checks over the instant ramens to try to decide on one )

[𝓐𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸 @ixiansblade]

[As he entered, he smelled the faint food smell out by the back. He entered an isle, checking what they have over here. Holding a bag a chips to read the label and the flavor.]

Odd… I never expected this to be such a big thing.

Well… what are you going to get?

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

( there's a small blush now, greeting the woman at the front as they enter, his voice becoming softer to talk to apollo as he walked through the familiar shop )

i work here some weekends... instead of giving me money... i can get snacks whenever i want...

( glancing at him )

[𝓐𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸 @ixiansblade]

I won’t say a word. As for now, why are we at a corner store? Is this where you often get your snacks?

[Confusion arose his head. Hmm…]

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

( there's a look of surprise at the other before his features soften, giving a small nod of understanding )

. . . thank you... and if you ever... do meet mina, please don't... tell her about that incident? i didn't tell her when it happened and... it's... i was fine. i am fine.

[𝓐𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸 @ixiansblade]

[Apollo follows him, his head held up high.]

I see… well, just be glad that you’re okay now. I won’t let anyone hurt you while I’m here.

[He fixes his uniform while they walk, keeping himself looking sharp.]

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

( he starts walking, heading towards his favorite corner store. a soft laugh floating from him, gaze glancing at apollo to make sure he’s following )

bad things have happened… those kids got expelled, mina made sure of that… but… even still, i feel safer with you around.

[𝓐𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸 @ixiansblade]

you’re exaggerating, nothing bad will REALLY happen. Either way they know better than to mess with me.

Again, let’s go.

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

i’m not a fighter like you, apollo… if someone actually attacked me, i would die.

( an exhale before offering a smile and a nod )

not that i think someone would ambush me on my way to the corner store to do more than push me around but… kids at school … don’t bother you.

[𝓐𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸 @ixiansblade]

A safety in numbers? What, you can’t handle yourself?

[He pondered for a second.]

Fine, since I have some time to spare. Let’s go.

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

( gaze shifting to look over the other's cheeks, before a small smile to himself )

. . . are you sure? i... uh, i was going to get a snack since i finished my painting. just... if you want to come with me. you know, safety in numbers... or something.

[𝓐𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸 @ixiansblade]

[A very faint blush.]

Nothing, forget it. I have better things to do than this.

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

||: PLEASE

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

what? what is upsetting...? that i find you cute because you don't like it? or that i find you cute despite who i am?

[𝓐𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸 @ixiansblade]

Tch…

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

hm? you heard me.

[𝓐𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸 @ixiansblade]

Excuse you?

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

ugh, you're lucky you're cute.

[𝓐𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸 @ixiansblade]

Well, too bad.

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

i don’t think i comprehended a word you just said to me, apollo…

[𝓐𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸 @ixiansblade]

???

Did you not hear me??

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

… what the fuck did you just say to me…

[𝓐𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸 @ixiansblade]

I’m dipping nuggets you never heard of, into sauce you wouldn’t understand.

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

— going at night, so no one should see us, right?

i just refuse to drag you down with me. would be kind of silly to do that when i've survived this long alone, i guess.

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

i guess i get them, when you're raised so long... believing you're above people because of your status, your money... who you were raised as? it's hard to understand another person.

( there's a small smile at her, giving a relaxed shrug )

we're in my dorm... and then we'll be —

( that … sounds pretty perfect. she’s not partial to the daytime anyways, and if it makes him feel comfortable doing it on these terms, why not ? )

no need for favors . if others don’t like you, fuck ‘em. from what i see so far you’re alright .

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

— graduate, perhaps... one day after dark, i can take you to it? that way nobody knows you went with me...

it's behind glass and locked up because... people don't like me much but...

( a small smile )

i love showing off my art, it'd be my pleasure to show you.

[misaki. @foreverslosts]

i have an electric kettle and a coffee maker!

( he supplies quickly )

and i just loaded up on instant coffee... so you just... give me coffee and occasional food and i'll owe you a favor, how about that?

( now a soft clearing of his throat )

i have an exhibit up until i —

[— 𝒔𝖔𝖕𝖍𝖎𝖆 ♱ ⨾ @tangaliin]

i’ve gotta take a look at your portfolio sometime, then.

( she gets it. the general populous has a knack of sniffing someone who might be even /slightly/ different out. )

mm . i have some swipes on my caf card, should be good if you want me to get you anything from there .
