We've Been Down That Road Before, But That's Over Now | Shinobu | RE: Marco

[lostinnotes]

Marco wasn’t sure what he expected. It’d make sense if she pushed him away and quite frankly he wouldn’t blame her. He wasn’t used to this whole… touchy feely thing. Or rather, being open about it. It was strange but pleasant how she felt warm. So he could still feel heat. That was nice.

"I missed you, too. More… than I know how to describe."

This wasn’t the time to get emotional. How totally uncool would it be if he started crying from pure joy? He was about to find out. Something hot streamed down the right side of his face. He moved a hand away from Shinobu and rubbed his cheek to discover his sleeve stained with water. Blinking only caused more to fall, forcing Marco to let go of Shinobu and step away to attend to his gushing emotions.

"S-Sorry. Ah, crap. Uh, give me a moment."

He turned around and took a few breaths, continuing to clear his eyes. When he eventually calmed down he still didn’t have the courage to face her and instead turned to glance to the side.

"…. Did Monomi say how long we had until we’re… wherever we’re going?"

[choreographershinobu]

Shinobu only hummed in response and rested her head on his chest. It made her feel like she had some kind of importance. She may not be able to define the importance very well, but just being missed and cared for made her content. Hopefully he knows she felt that way about him. Maybe not outwardly stated, but through body language and expressions at least.

She didn't notice Marco moving his hand away nor did she see the tears. Only feeling slight sadness when he moved away and wondering what was wrong. Though it only took her a moment to get a hint and smile softly. She honestly found it kind of cute and led her to giving his arm gentle pats. However her smile slowly faded soon after the question.

"Well um, I don't know. I don't think she said anything about that... But I know for sure we've made a good distance from land by the views from the helicopter."

The fact that she didn't know made her shuffle and look around. If Monomi did say, then Shinobu sure felt bad for not listening. Then not giving that much of a clear answer on top of it. Lowered her self-confidence by a hair. But regardless, she tried to keep her straight composure.

"Sorry for not giving a good answer. Uhm, why do you ask? Did someone say something or...?"

We've Been Down That Road Before, But That's Over Now | Shinobu | RE: Marco

[lostinnotes]

What an odd question.

Marco blinked, staring, then slowly dropped his gaze to his hands. His knuckles weren’t bruised and bloody anymore from punching walls. But… this wasn’t his body, was it? It certainly felt like it. He could still feel his heart beat in his chest or when it stopped when he saw her.

After everything that happened, all the forced killing, the executions, himself getting burned to a crisp, then sitting in that dark place for weeks he was here, wherever here was. And where he was going, what would happened to him, was a mystery.

Despite all of that he looked back up at Shinobu, a soft smile warming his face.

"Yeah… I’m alright. Couldn’t be better."

He took a step closer to Shinobu, and then another. Even if he told himself to stop he doubt he could have. The flood of emotions that washed over him were too powerful for self restrain. Now standing right in front of her, Marco wrapped his arms around her and pulled Shinobu into a big bear hug.

[choreographershinobu]

Shinobu stood in place and waited for a response. Watching his movements, she felt slightly guilty. That wasn't how you greet someone. He was Marco. Looks like him. It has to be him...

Although she didn't dwell on that thought for long. Upon seeing his smile she felt warmth fill her chest. She didn't think she'd see that, but how could she help it? She was hoping that he was alright. Hoping he wasn't in anymore pain, and just hearing that made her feel some peace.

Then she froze again. How weak of her, but a hug from him? It felt so nice... Well now she knew for sure what she was feeling. Could he hear or feel her heart pounding? She hesitated for a moment before moving her arms to hold him back. She let out a soft giggle while holding him tightly, thinking over what to say.

"That's great to hear... I'm so happy to see you again. Missed you lots."

We've Been Down That Road Before, But That's Over Now | Shinobu | RE: Marco

That was certainly a ride to say at least. It made Shinobu feel weird for once. A pinch of guilt and a pinch of sadness. It clenched her heart hard through out the events. Even though she tried to pull through it and actually watch the execution no matter what. Then hustle on out with the others.

She was happy to have a few of her belongings with her. She knew something weird would happen since the moment she asked Monokuma about it. It made her feel peaceful when they took off. Made her smile again. That was nice.

Upon getting off the the helicopter and stepping into the main area, she felt a ball of happiness swell up. The new faces gave her excitement. The other class is here? Maybe she can find him. The holograms. No one is left behind!… Well, hopefully they are going home too. Maybe she could…

"That doesn’t really help… But thanks anyways."

Well that wasn’t reassuring. Some of it was and some wasn’t. She was personally aiming for a full reassurance, but 50/50 was enough for now. At least everything will be alright.

Her initial action was taking a stroll and grabbing a snack, but her plan was stopped when she was called out too. Hmm… She decided to let her curiousity lead the way and follow the sound. To what it lead her to certainly made stop cold in her tracks and stare in shock. Honestly she wasn’t expecting this.

"Makun? Is that you? Are you… alright?"

"I hope you know I will remember you forever... You're the first one in a long time..."

-

"... The first to make my heart beat like that and... The fact that you felt the same, or at least I assume so, makes me so happy. I've... It just makes me happy that someone cares for me that way and returns it. Actually returns my feelings... So thank you so much..."

"You know, I feel really comfortable around you. Safe and happy. I don't usually feel that way but... It happened. I felt like I could be myself around you. Maybe... maybe that's why I fell for you... I've always looked for acceptance and I think I've found it with you... Must be because the more I spent time with you. The more I fell in love. I can even define it! I can say that I love you and mean it..."

"I know you probably want me to be happy and all, but I honestly can't see that. I was the happiest when I was with you. I truly was. Like the card game we played and when we danced! I... I wanted to be with you again to feel that happiness. Kind of selfish, but I loved you too and I just... I don't handle separation well. It's happened too many times before and I just wanted it to stop. I wanted it to stop so badly when you left and I... But I couldn't tell you. I had a feeling you wouldn't be so... I don't know, but it'd be a negative reaction. Like you being sad or being mad at me. I didn't want either."

"Either way I don't think I could love and care for someone like I did with you. I wasn't that type of person to be so... I don't know how to describe it, but I think you'd understand. I wasn't expecting to make friendships or be close to anyone. Then you happened. I will keep those lyrics with me forever. Keep them close to my heart. I wonder if you know how much I love it... Sometimes I think of you and me in that song. Maybe... I'll make a dance for it..."

"I know... I know I'll meet you again. See you again. Hold you. We'll dance again and hang out. And if you still feel pain, I'll try to take it away. Just like I said... Just wait for me... Smile for me..."

"I love you. You'll forever own and be in my heart."

 "You... Thank you... I wish I could have talked to you before you died..."

"Thanks a lot for thinking I've changed back at that terrible secret motive... I don't really know if I have changed from that time. Sometimes I wonder... I think I have though. I know my heart has grew bigger and I care a lot about a lot of people! So... I guess you kind of opened my eyes to that..."

"I wish I could have done something for you when you said you'd keep it a secret. Even if you insisted I didn't. I do. Maybe if we meet again... I don't. I hope I can someday soon... I just really really hope you didn't tell anyone it while in the afterlife. I know it's probably the least of your worries but..."

"Anyways, I wonder about why you were a part of that murder though... Who were you? Why? I think about that sometimes... Either way, I hope you're happy wherever you are. Rest in peace."

"I'm so happy you're my friend... Thank you..."

"I really honored to be your friend and I care about you deeply. Know that'll I'll have your back when you need it. I know you'll definitely have mine so! I'll try to support you as best as I can. Even if I'm not the best comforter person and sometimes I'm not... I will try for you! That's what friends do!"

"Honestly I really am greatful that you made it. I don't know what I would've done if I lost you too... I wouldn't be the same at all... So thank you... Please stay by my side after this? I really need you now because... I don't think I'll handle the end of this very well. I just want them to go home with us alive and well... I guess that's just me and separation issues... Hah..."

"Disregard that. Just know that I'm glad to have met someone as wonderful as you!"

That's his name right? I don't remember... Anyways I think you two deserve some kind of happiness. It was pretty obvious you loved him. I can tell because of the way you look. He old outfit and sunglasses... Couple status right there. So... Rest in peace and smile a whole lot. Being with someone you love is great isn't it? "

☆ 2/5"Hmm...""I wasn't so keen about you at first. I mean that outfit... Not something you see everyday and when i first met you... Wasn't a good time at all. Still I thought you had a good mind and heart somewhere underneath all that. I didn't think you should have died. Well I feel that way towards everyone, but you had potential. I really think you do. Hope everything goes smoothly over there for you and the others. Rest in peace."
