[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... ]

[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..!

[superhacker]

[ Oh no, nope- he shakes his head energetically at that. ]

I can't think that way about her after what she's done to you..!

[tsunball]

[ .. oh. Well, that's better, since there's actually nobody he dislikes is afraid of like Yuri here, so.. he seems to calm down a little more from that. ]

Well.. who did you become friends with then, Fujisaki?

[superhacker]

[ ... Let him think for a moment. It's not that he actually doesn't have friends and he's bullshitting, but it's kind of hard to keep up with people's names when you've been so much used to only have internet friends most of your life. ]

Uhm... there's Otonashi-kun, Naoe-kun, Seta-kun, Okumura-kun, Keisuke-kun, and Kamiki-san.

[ You can note the heavier number of male friends in that list... ]

[tsunball]

[ He does note it from the names.. H-.. harem..?! Well, it's true that Chihiro is pretty cute, not exactly his main type, but he can see why other guys would go for it at first sight.. ]

Seta's the guy with the old man hair, right? [ THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T HAVE FRIENDS, LEON. ] And Naoe's my roommate.

[superhacker]

[ Be glad that you're part of the harem, Leon, geez! ]

Uh... old man hair? And Naoe-kun is your roomate? I suppose you two are friends, then.

[tsunball]

[ wow, more like harem lead!! ]

Yeah, old man hair! It's all grey and just.. weird.. [ he moves his finger around his head in a circle like the bowlcut. ] And I dunno if Naoe and I are friends? We never called it that way.

[superhacker]

[ But everyone hates Leon here, he can't be the harem lead! ]

I don't think it's weird... [ Maybe the color is a bit off, but... ] But if you two get along, then it means you're friends with each other, right?

[tsunball]

[ Fine, then he can be first choice in Chihiro's harem!! Done. ]

But calling it 'friends' sounds.. lame.. [ AND HE WANTS TO BE COOL SO DESPERATELY, OKAY. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. ] Maybe more something like.. 'bros', yeah, that!

[superhacker]

[ Perfect ending... ]

If you're more comfortable with that term, then... [ He can't object it, right...

... Oh, just when Chihiro thought that they got lost, they're finally seeing the dorms over there! ]

[tsunball]

[ FINALLY A SAFE HAVEN IS IN SIGHT.. So they won't have to walk around in bloody clothes like the two of them just slaughtered people together or something. ]

... Now we just have to sneak in without anyone seeing us.. Shit, let's hope there's nobody out right now. [ Never mind the fact that everyone already saw him dead in the suit, but hey..!! ]
