[crystallomancy]

I'm even less-inclined to eat now because of YOU.

( don't compare him to eichi. )

[starrypoint]

Naaaaaaaaaaatsuuuuuuuuuuuuuumeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~!

[you know how he's gonna whine]

[crystallomancy]

( sorry he's blind he can't hear you )

[starrypoint]

[good thing he's still got the sense of touch subaru's poking him.]

Eat, eat, eat~. I won't leave you alone 'til you do~. I'll ask questions you don't want me to ask~.

[crystallomancy]

I don't have to answer even if you DO.

( ...slowly going back to eating, unhappy about it but thinking of helena. )

[starrypoint]

[... he won. leaning against.]

No, but it'll be annoying to hear them. [...] I'm happy you let yourself have that, though.

[since. their professions aside, neither of them... really thought in that way, until it was presented to them; until it arrived at their doorsteps, at different times and in different ways. until they accept it, a little, mistake it may have been.

natsume doesn't have to say anything, after all. they've always been able to read each other, to a point -- and the parts they couldn't, sometimes the lack of legibility is giving enough.]

[crystallomancy]

( that's... )

I flirted incessantly with the little kitten TOO. It's not like this is my first TIME, unlike some peoPLE.

[starrypoint]

You're mean~, it's not my first first time... Besides, Anzu couldn't give you the time of day 'cause of who she is, who we were -- it was different with Macchi.

[it became a choice.]

[crystallomancy]

( who's your first first time, subaru. )

Not as different as you THINK. Rather than "who she is, who we were" being the isSUE, it was "where we ARE". Putting being dead aSIDE, putting the idea we won't even remember—

( —she might not, if she comes back. when she does. he keeps eating, slow. )

This school's atmosphere isn't particularly conducive to lasting relationships with happy endINGS. There's a higher chance of getting hurt in some WAY. She knew THAT, and so did I. It was fine though; she wouldn't return my affections much the same way the little kitten wouldn't due to her posiTION, but I'd still be able to pull that look out of HER.

[starrypoint]

[don't worry about it.]

You didn't get to confess to Anzu though.

[crystallomancy]

( .......... )

Not in such firm terms, NO.

[starrypoint]

[speaking of faces subaru loves]

So~, I'm glad you got that chance! To have that experience! You've gotta think of it that way, Natsume! For once in your life, you're just some guy!

[crystallomancy]

( he's gonna get his sixteenth tally )

I'm not just some GUY.

[starrypoint]

[the only people allowed to kill subaru are natsume and keigo]

Okay, then who are you?

[crystallomancy]

The boy who's going to find Maya Arisu in another life, another time, another world, and hear her tell me she likes me BACK, just like she said she WOULD. After I tell her I love her despite the fact she's a hardworking, unromantic, extremely practical, and boring young girl, naturalLY.

( as you do. )

[starrypoint]

[damn dude u got it bad





but also that makes him "just some guy" and subaru's grinning really hard, even if he can't help the small tightness in his chest.]

Natsume~, you're surprisingly cute. ♪ Care to say that again? I wanna record it this time!

[let him get his phone...♪]

[crystallomancy]

( bro you dont even know the half of it )

You won't be leaving this room if I repeat IT.

[starrypoint]

[please u gotta catch ur man up]

That's the sorta thing you should tell Macchi, not me, you dog~. Didja kiss her?

[crystallomancy]

( yeah we ain't doing that )

...No, not ONCE. ( not that he never thought about it, and not that he doesn't regret never asking her if he could, but... ) We played at dating for a DAY, and I didn't think to ask her if I could kiss her at the end of our DATE.

( would she have though......... he can't imagine it. all of that mistletoe for nothing, all those words about just for that day, that time, he could be the first person she fantasized about going on a date with...

wow............ he's so stupid! and now it's too late! there is no god. )

[starrypoint]

[wow..........]

You're so dumb! You should've at least asked for that! Seriously~, I can't believe you! What if she wanted you to ask her, huh?! Make sure you do that when you see her again!

[however long it takes for her to remember how much she doesn't hate him]

[crystallomancy]

She definitely did not want me to ask HER.

( it's MAYA. )

[starrypoint]

And she definitely didn't want you to ask her on a date, or confess to her once you're graduated.

[it's maya, after all]

[crystallomancy]

CorRECT.

( she really didn't. she would probably love if they didn't actually meet again, and he didn't find things to love about her again, and he didn't confess to her again. it's probably an ideal end for her, even in a perfectly ordinary world where they're just two regular people, nothing special about them or the circumstances they meet in.

probably. )

[starrypoint]

Bzzt! Macchi's like you, Natsume, and she's just a girl, in the end. She always smelled like those perfumes you use, too.

[she liked them a lot, maybe. and even if natsume can refute that she just liked the scent--]

You gave 'em to her, so she probably thought about you when she wore them. Not for you, just about you.

[crystallomancy]

I take back every complimentary word I've ever said about you growing to be considerATE.

( because really, as happy as it makes him to think—just like his talk with helena—it gnaws at his heart, too. they still had an entire year and some change ahead of them. a lifetime or more, after that. and maybe she'll be back like noah and subaru floated, just missing a few months, but it's still too heavy a notion for him.

it would be nice if she could graduate on time with him and hiro. he hopes hiro taking her back to town doesn't disrupt samsara any. )
