[CLOSED] And I know I may end up failing too.

WHO: Chihiro (superhacker), and Leon (tsunball)
WHAT: The aftermath of that Live-action Cluedo Game.
WHEN: October 28th, aka that same evening of the event.
WHERE: Restaurant, town area.
WARNINGS: Mentions of death?
SUMMARY: Mr.Black wakes up from death, the maid cries, FEELINGS ensue. I'm so good at summaries.



[ It's over. The culprit was caught, everyone went home, and Chihiro was staying in the restaurant, at that same dining table, waiting for his old classmate to wake up. The thought of changing back into his uniform didn't really cross his mind, so there's a little maid sitting right next to a bloody corpse. Nobody's around to witness such bizzarre display.

Tonight, he learned that even if you don't get to Yurippe's bad side, stuff like this is going to happen anyway. Seeing Leon die for a second time in a row was the least thing he needed, and although he's trying to stay strong, he can't stop the tears that have been constantly rolling down his cheeks even during the investigation. He's so tired. It's pathetic how flimsy his wish to become stronger actually is. Take him to another school, and he's back to square one.

He glances over Leon's body from time to time. The more he looks at it, the less scary it becomes, fortunately enough. Please wake up and let's go back to the dorms, Kuwata-kun... ]

[ .. ah-- w-what is this?! This is unfair, not even he can say no to those eyes?! But at the same time, that girl really is crazy, he doesn't want to mess with that, what do.. m.. maybe he can promise and then see what he does when the time comes?! Yeah, sounds like the only plan here.. ]

S.. sure, Fujisaki.. [ that sounds so convincing, leon. ] Don't sweat it.

[superhacker]

[ OH GOSH LEON, such a hero you are...! He wipes at his eyes with his maid sleeve, sniffling. ]

Thanks, Kuwata-kun... I knew I could count on you.

[tsunball]

[ THE BIGGEST COWARD HERO.. ]

For the time being, let's just ignore that chick though, okay? As long as we don't go near her, she can't do shit!

[superhacker]

Okay... b-but then, we'll have that mission to do. [ That thing he doesn't even know what it is about, except he supposedly has to hack into the system and do stuff while Leon does what he can do best... the decoy thing. ]

[tsunball]

I don't give a shit about the mission! If I see her, I'll tell her where she can shove that mission..!

[ except, you know, the next time he talks to yuri he'll probably piss his pants in fear and does what she says all the same. ]

[superhacker]

[ But Chihiro thinks Kuwata-kun is being totally badass here! But he doesn't want him to die again... ]

B-Be careful... I don't think that's a good idea- she might try to hurt you again...

[tsunball]

[ See, there's some really difficult conflict of feelings in him right now. On one hand, he really badly wants to shout (and just that, okay!! he's not naturally that violet, he's no Mondo..) at Yuri for everything, but on the other hand he really doesn't want to deal with her if she really attacks people that often.. ]

I.. I'm not going to work for her if she just threatens me into doing it..! [ then why is your voice almost shaking, leon? ]

[superhacker]

Kuwata-kun... [ They both don't have that much of a good opinion of Yurippe by now, but... ]

... Even so, I'm still going to help her.

[tsunball]

.. Huh? [ Now this is the part that doesn't make sense for him. She killed him and attacked Chihiro, and yet.. Chihiro still wants to help her? ] But why would you help someone like her?!

[superhacker]

It's not about Yuri herself. I think... helping her will benefit us, too.

[tsunball]

... The hell, how will that even help us? She's just doing her own weird thing here, then just let her! She probably would've just made me do something only a psycho would do to other people.. I'm done after having died here once already because of her!

[superhacker]

...

I still think it may be important if we... fight, like Yuri said. Besides, I want to be useful, even though she's scary and I don't think good of her.

[ Chihiro's shaking a bit with his words, but he's got determination! He just thinks whatever they're going to do might benefit them, no matter how crazy their leader is. ]

But I understand if you want to quit... I can't approve of what she's done to you either. [ Biting his lip. ] I was scared you would be gone forever...

[tsunball]

[ He's thinking about it too, and.. well, he can sort of agree on the fighting thing, but can't they do their own thing then instead of following Yuri? He can't fully finish the thought though, his attention is distracted by the last part. ]

... Wait.. what?

[superhacker]

[ ... And Chihiro thinks Leon got confused at the whole thing. Suddenly, self-consciousness?! ]

Er... did I say something wrong?

[tsunball]

N-no, I was just-- [ He shakes his head, as if he's trying to shake off the surprise but is unable to. ]

You were scared because of something like that..?

[superhacker]

... Yeah. I mean, you're my friend, right? How can I be not scared of that?

[tsunball]

[ There's a lot of answers he could give to that.. a lot of them he's just generally unsure about, he doesn't know if he can say them and still sound cool -- like that he didn't expect anyone to really.. well, care either way, not after what happened back home, but.. ]

.. Friends, huh? [ FRIENDZONED. Okay, no, he's not even thinking of it that way. ] It's been a while since I heard it that directly.

[superhacker]

It's... not that weird, is it?

[ Did he say something so uncommon? He thought Kuwata-kun had so many friends back home. ]

[tsunball]

W-.. what, no, it's not weird at all! [ SHIT, ONLY REALISING NOW HOW LAME HE SOUNDED. Do you think many people want to be actual friends with a jerk, Chihiro.. well, he does know people, but on a more superficial level, either way. ]

I just mean it's the first time I've heard it here!

[superhacker]

[ Chihiro became kind of friends with Mondo, which is even worse than Leon. We all know how it ended, though... b-but he doesn't remember anything! ]

The first time? I thought you had friends here already.

[tsunball]

[ It's okay, he won't be mean to Chihiro!! At least, not intentionally.. ]

This place is filled with people who are just batshit! How am I supposed to be friends with that?

[superhacker]

... Really? But I met some very nice people here. I have some friends already.

[ One of them even offered to teach him baseball... ]

[tsunball]

W-.. what, really?! [ God, he's falling behind Chihiro in friends count now.. this is proof of how pathetic you are, Leon. ] Not any of those crazy chicks, right?!

[superhacker]

No...? [ Izumo is one of them, Chihiro... but they're tomodachis now! Nevermind that she keeps calling Leon a gorilla and insinuated that he's got a thing for the other boy... ]

I mean, it wasn't easy at first, but... if you get to know people better, I'm sure they're not as bad as they may appear.

[tsunball]

[ Yeah, this is exactly why Leon doesn't like Izumo, but.. then again, he sort of started that one himself too.. ]

You'd probably even say that about Yurippe! She tried to kill me-- no, she definitely killed me! That's still the most screwed up thing..!
