  "....I I'm sorry...Tina...I can't be with you." He sobbed into his sleave was he scared? Or too strong to go through with it? Or was it that he was strong for too Long and could no longer go on "I was weak, I was strong enough. Fast enough and I let her slip through my fingers!" With every Word he pounded him fist into the damp ground angery with himself. Until he bloodied his knuckles "Fuck...fuck...fuck...FUCK!" why Couldn't he just hold her once more? Why was he crused to be alone?

[hen-in-the-box]

[To say that Henrietta wasn't relieved to see him not go through with it would be a complete lie. It felt like a weight had been lifted when he said he couldn't join her. It wasn't good that he was kept from his love but.... it was great that he kept living. She wanted to say something but was unsure.]

[Even after everything that had happened, she tried not to flinch as he punched the ground but failed. What was he going to do? She knew he needed this time to let it all out, so she hung back and away from him.]

[If there was any reason for him to live now... he should be living to do her memory justice. Then again that was just her opinion. She still hated to see him, hell anyone, in this state of despair.]

Animal Crossing: A Tale of Two Towns

[mamahana]

  Yoko couldn’t help but find herself snorting in amusement over the response she had received in regards to her request. While it had taken a moment or two for the realization to sink in, the brunette had to give herself a moment. She had practically walked into that one, didn’t she? Henrietta had seen the opportunity, and took it at lightning speed, before Yoko could even realize the innuendo that could be offered with her words. Perhaps it was the painstaking boredom that kept her amused as she awaited Hen’s return to the phone, more than certain her laughter could be heard clearly in the redhead’s own dorm. She couldn’t help but find herself thankful that the other didn’t have a roommate to question exactly what was going on at the moment. Whatever this was. 

Maybe Yoko should be thankful that Souji was in class right now, and wouldn’t be back to the room for a few more hours. She didn’t want to have to explain why sitting around in nothing but her underwear and one of her “Yosuke Shirts” had become a thing in recent weeks. 

Yeah, maybe that was a thing to be more thankful about. Totes.

"I’ll proposition whoever the hell I please, thank you very much~" she snickered a reply of her own, straightening herself back up. 

"You’re more than familiar with opening your gates for me than anyone else around here, Miss Mayor of Magnolia.”

[hen-in-the-box]

Henrietta discovered the device rather quickly and scurried back to her small couch, stretching out and pulling the phone closer as she booted up the game system. Double checking to make sure the 3D was off and the sound was halfway. These were her default settings after all before continuing the conversation.

"Well excuse me Madame Mayor, I just didn't expect the dignified government official of Hanaichigo to suggest such things~"

She couldn't help but snicker to herself before turning her head to look at the phone, as if she was looking for Yoko's face. Trying to read her expression.

"Sooo... how long have you had boobs so far? ....Because... I haven't seen you in a while and I'm wondering how long I've missed this memo. Also, my door's always open and my cot's always there if you're done trying to sneak around the boy's dorm."

This was very true. Henrietta had this set up for a reason. If her friend needed a place to stay for the time that he happened to have working lady parts, her door was always open. Or rather, she had told them the location of her hidden spare key.

Beneath the potted plant in the lobby of the dorm if anyone was wondering.

Hers was also a room for a single person, giving her friend ample opportunity to just waltz in and not be bothered. Not to mention, despite how inconvenient it was for Yoko, their sleepovers were always hella fun.

"I don't want to think I've been neglecting you for too long and actually haven't kept tabs on that weird status ailment of yours~"

[spears-and-garudyne-deactivated]

  No he did, he been treating her like trash. He did it out of being hurt and annoyed she constantly appeared when he wanted to be alone or so, Then she had to make her point sound regardless of his feelings and what she knew. He stopped in a area in the woods Tina mentioned a long time ago, he sat on a stump with a small hole in it. "Hm...what's ?" He found a small lock Box with a rusted knife to open it...some time passed and the fool read what was inside. "No more...." He rose the knife prepared to end it "No more pain!"

[hen-in-the-box]

Henrietta had shuffled off into the forest as well, hoping not to bump into him as he had requested. It turns out, that wouldn't be the case. Even as she tried to make her way through she still spotted him.

Hiccuping a bit as she made her way closer, she spotted it. A rusty knife... aimed for squishy human places that it certainly shouldn't touch. She was torn, said to go away and yet standing there watching him do that. No, that wouldn't work for her as much as she really wished he wouldn't be mad, she couldn't sit around while he was about to end it all.

"S-STOP. P-PLEASE."

Animal Crossing: A Tale of Two Towns

mamahana replied to your post:

"Awesome, my currently fine ass." A feminine tone, as opposed to the masculine response Henrietta might have been expecting, retorted with what snark she could muster. She was bored, and surprisingly tired? "Open your gates, dork. I want to visit." 

The moment the voice on the other end spoke it seemed a lightbulb had gone off in her head. No wonder she hadn't seen Yosuke in weeks either... because he wasn't Yosuke right now. Instead Yoko was talking to her on the other line.

Knowing exactly where this was going Henrietta set her phone to speaker and put it down on the small table in front of the couch in her humble living room. She was in hot pursuit of her limited edition New Leaf DS that she had blown all her money on.

Even then, their familiar routine of teasing continued.

"Your fine ass? Open my gates? Excuse me, ma'am but I think you have the wrong number. It's not right to proposition strangers over the phone~."

The brunette couldn't help but snicker because she knew that moment was witty as fuck... and no one could take that moment of glory away from her.

[hen-in-the-box]

It was strange how much time had passed since the brunette made actual contact with the world outside this dormitory--the only company that existed around here, other than Souji, were the new arrivals of animal villagers finding their way into Hanaichigo. And while wasting constant hours on New Leaf was an option one Yoko Hanamura admitted to enjoying initially, the second week had come to an end. It was week three, and she was still Yoko. With a phone in hand. Dialing Hen.. "Pick up, punk."

With work and school work and everything in-between it would’ve been a fair assumption to say that Henrietta had been neglecting some of her own social circle. This would pretty much mean everyone except maybe her boyfriend.

She had been extremely surprised when she had finally gotten a day off to enjoy herself when her cellphone rang. She waited a moment, listening to see which ringtone decided to play. The minute she heard the wonderful Owl City singing about an avalanche of strawberries she leapt to her feet.

It was Yosuke. Best not leave him waiting.

Snatching the phone off the table, her fingers quickly pressed the button to answer as she put on her cheeriest voice.

"Hellooooo~ You’ve reached the phone of awesome. How may I help you~?”

[spears-and-garudyne-deactivated]

He heard tears...tears? Like expressions of pain? He looked back at her, she looked as pitiful as he did when she died...when many died before him. This was a person grey and you treated her so badly, he looked down at his reflection disgusted in himself. What had he become? Almost as cold as a shadow..."I...you don't deserve this." He decided to leave it at that, and disappear forever. Maybe the forest was a suitble place for an animal like him. Plus Maybe quiet to spend the remainder of his aniversary? He decided to leave her. Silently begging for forgiveness

[hen-in-the-box]

[She couldn't stop the tears as much as she absolutely wanted to. Crying made her sick and angry. With a trembling stance she tried to wipe the seemingly never ending trail from the sides of her cheeks as she watched him go.]

[To be frank she was unsure of what to say, especially with her emotions running rampant. Sadness and anger and an empty feeling all seemed to come up at once. Even then the brunette reached out to him, her voice a little hoarse from her emotional outburst.]

...Neither do you.

[megane-fojushi]

He paused, listened attentively, and felt the fury in him rise. He was shaking now, questioning just what kind of monster was capable of reducing such a strong girl into her current state.

And to learn that it wasn’t the first? Well… it wasn’t something he was going to let go anytime soon…

…Until she looked at him with such desperation, such need to just… stay, that for a moment he forgot his blinding fury, felt empathy well up inside and held her tight. He was still shaking, that was a given but… at the moment, anger will have to be put to one side. He bit down on his lip, probably drew blood at a point, and shook his head.

"I could never… ever, leave you. You’re no bother to me and I can assure you will never become one. I won’t push you away, or drive you away, or hurt you. If we ever… ever part ways or this doesn’t work out, I can assure you that you’re not the one who will be at fault. I love you too much to leave you, Hen… that’s the truth."

He held her tighter and laid his head against her shoulder, repeating the words “I love you” over and over again.

[hen-in-the-box]

She felt him shaking against her but wasn't aware as to why. All she wanted to do was focus on his words, his declarations. Trying to keep her shaky breaths to a minimum and hold back her tears she just held him close and felt his warmth.

His words were reassuring, this was true but there was still a fear within her. One she had always wanted desperately to shake. For now though, his words of love managed to quell her fearfulness for now. ...But she didn't intend to have what happened to her make him angry.

"I-I love you... a-a lot. Things... a-are always changing and that's what scares me. I don't want a-anything regarding our feelings to change into something bad. I don't want you to have a-any regrets either."

"A-Are you angry? ...I feel you shaking."

She savored his embrace even then, her arms wrapped tightly around him in this moment.

[hen-in-the-box]

((bed time uwu))

[megane-fojushi]

  "No, this isn’t right!" Enough was enough. He could see she was reluctant to share what had happened but it physically pained him to see her so broken like this. He knew that whoever did this was a close friend of hers, otherwise it would not have affected her to such a degree.

"You being upset isn’t silly, you’re human! I worry about you and I just wish I could do so much more to keep you happy. I’m sorry if I’m stepping over my boundaries but I just hate seeing you like this."

His expression softened as he held her face in his hands and wiped her tears from her cheeks. He was still frowning though, clearly and thoroughly angered with whoever was responsible for this. “I won’t stand by idly anymore while you endure this. You deserve so much better than how you’re being treated right now. I will have a word with whomever I owe this displeasure with and I will set a few things straight.”

[hen-in-the-box]

Oh god, she was just going to break down again. She could feel her bottom lip begin to tremble as he spoke to her and said such things. He wanted to stand up for her and in all honesty she wasn't sure if she was worth it. Not sure if the effort was even worth it.

The situation was already a mess, he didn't need to get tangled up in it. However, with each of his words she seemed to wonder if his heart could get any bigger or if she could love him even more... even with her emotions as tumultuous as they were.

"This person... believes me to be a bother. I'm always around when they don't want me around and... well... I-I don't want that to happen with you. This isn't the first person I've pushed away like that."

Henrietta sighed, looking up at him seriously. "J-Just... please tell me that I'm not going to push you away like that?" It was less of a question and more of a plea... something she needed to hear to keep going. In her most vulnerable moment she needed to be sure he wouldn't leave.

[megane-fojushi]

"I came back from a quick trip to the city to finish up some last minute inquiries before I settle down for a few months here in Inaba and spend some time with my girlfriend and I’m greeted with her tears and a solemn hurt look on her damn face. Forgive my language but…"

"…Which bitch ass punk made my girl cry I’ll fuck you up I swear to all that’s holy I will fuck you up.

You messed with the wrong guy’s girl, fucker.”

[hen-in-the-box]

What the hell could Henrietta tell him about her problem that made everything come out okay? Probably nothing... especially since every way she told it in her head she ended up sounding like a spineless idiot.

Or overdramatic.

Or just really stupid.

G-God, the list went on and on with just bad explanations for why she was so upset. Though... she'd never seen Sasume like this ever before either... with that expression. He looked... extremely angry.

"...N-No need to get worked up... o-over something silly I'm just upset over."

It was true, it was silly and she knew it... she also didn't want anyone in trouble or fights either.

[spears-and-garudyne-deactivated]

"I'm not fucking hungry. Why did I have to meet you?" He wishpered "I'm not eating unless Tina makes it" he looked at the picture lovingly. "what? A Walk in the forest does sound good. Yes let's go." He turned to got deeper into the woods behind the school. What did she want from him? He's never know he turned to her. "And you already have him so I don't even know why you asked such a question...And I have Tina so i'm happy." He felt a bit lightheaded as his stomach growled.

[hen-in-the-box]

[Henrietta didn't want it to happen but the tears came anyway. She had put up with much and now they welled up in her eyes as he unknowingly prodded an old wound with his words.]

[Why did I have to meet you?]

[They cut her to the quick. It wouldn't be a stretch to say she was always caring and in people's faces because she never wanted to be left again. It had happened so many times with so many people that even then it broke her.]

[This person who had once called her friend and now wanted nothing to do with her. She was torn, torn between going after him and giving him what he wanted. Frankly, she just wanted to throw up and the feeling of nausea permeated her being in tandem with her tears.]

[She was the fucking worst.]

[spears-and-garudyne-deactivated]

  "It's not even about you, geez just back Off! Back the fuck Off! What the hell do you want with me?!" He pulled out a large sum of cash and there it infront if him. "Take it! I owe you nothing why do you insist on sticking to me like glue!?" He just wanted... "Three's a crowd let me enjoy my aniversary with my love." He tuned her out, or at last attempted it

[hen-in-the-box]

[Her face twisted up. The thought that she wanted his money in general made her a little disgusted. How could he only be getting that from the things she was saying? How!? She wanted nothing more than to slap the money out of his hand but instead she shoved the basket into his grasp.]

JUST FUCKING HAVE A MEAL AND I'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE OKAY? 

[As she shouted that at the top of her lungs every word after seemed to make her spent. Her fight hadn't gone away, her energy just couldn't keep up as her voice cracked with hopelessness and sadness. Every ounce of hurt written on her face.]

J-Just please take it and eat... and I'll leave you alone forever if that's what you want. ...J-Just... I'm sorry for being self-centered I just... wanted you to be okay.

[spears-and-garudyne-deactivated]

  "Sorry jokes ate reserved for friends...you think you have the right to speak for her? Shut. Up. Cause you ruining my aniversary..."He wanted to slap her so hard but he settled for a small shove. "Haven't you caused enough pain and troupe? You didn't want to be around me, just leave me alone and go back to you shrine and Fox...you keep on persisting like your Word is just and you can make a person change, get real and mind your own buiness and never say her name again!"

[hen-in-the-box]

[Her jaw was ticking now especially with his push. She could tell what he wanted to do instead and she just opened up her arms to him now. An angry expression clear on her face as she did so.]

Want to hit me? Wanna make yourself feel better by hitting me!? All I ever did was care about you Grey, that's all I ever fucking did. ALL I EVER TRIED TO DO. So now we're reduced to this. Go a-fucking-head and hit me. 

Living in the past like you are is just absolutely fucking insane. You'd be disrespecting ANYONE'S memory by doing what you're fucking doing. Also, what would've been the point of dating me huh? That was the sore spot you started with me on now, when you can't even fucking move on? How are you supposed to LOVE SOMEONE IF YOU CAN'T MOVE ON FROM SOMEONE WHO'S ALREADY PASSED GREY?

[megane-fojushi]

  "That’s the thing though! You saw what happened.. ever since I changed my theme for writing people have not liked it and even criticized me for seeking pity from them… that’s… that’s not it at all…"

"There were very personal experiences I poured into those recent works and it just… it was very disheartening for me to read the disappointment and I just felt like I let everyone down and im so sorry"

Stop… stop breathe. He told himself to breathe, to calm down, to keep his cool but he just couldn’t he was going to break she was going to see him break god he’s sorry he’s so sorry he was so damn pathetic—

[hen-in-the-box]

The moment he finished his sentence, Henrietta had a grasp on what was happening. His expression turned into something not so good and well... she did the only thing she could do. As he said these words her arms wrapped around him, in an effort to provide him the comfort he needed.

"...Sasume, the only reason those readers were so disgruntled is because... it just wasn't what they were expecting. ...And you know what? I know you weren't looking for pity, you were writing what you wanted to..."

"You didn't let anyone down because of it... I promise you that. ...It was good for you to let it all out... and I know it doesn't mean much but just reading the words you had put, got me emotional. If a story gets a person so invested they sob the way that I did... it's an amazing piece."

"Just like you are an amazing person and a story doesn't measure your worth, either."

[spears-and-garudyne-deactivated]

"That's all you are about is you, if your so done why do you keep coming back, i'm in pain...and you think your letting pushed around? Well news flash that's the reason I been staying away from you! I can't even enjoy my anniversary without you popping up and making things worst. And you want to know what's the worst part? THE FACT THAT YOU DARE PRETEND LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT TINA WOULD SAY, WHAT THE FUCK GIVES YOU THE RIGHT!? You don't know anything sound your own buiness for once! You'll never understand! So stop pretending like you can relate to me!" Tears welled up as he hugged the picture. "I don't want to live anymore! They should have killed me instead!"

[hen-in-the-box]

I'm the one focusing all about myself? ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME, GREY? IS THIS ONE BIG GOD DAMN MOTHERFUCKING COSMIC JOKE YOU'RE PULLING RIGHT HERE?

[Her chest was heaving with the breaths she took in her rage. His words seemed to infuriate her even more. This was it, she wouldn't be pushed away before she said her peace this time.]

You're the only one who's been SO FUCKING CONCERNED WITH HIMSELF. JUST DWELLING ON HIS "TOTALLY INCOMPREHENSIBLE PAIN". People die and it hurts but you move on, that's life.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF I DIDN'T KNOW TINA OKAY? IF YOU TWO LOVED EACH OTHER AS MUCH AS YOU CLAIM YOU FUCKING DID DO YOU THINK SHE'D WANT YOU TO MOURN FOR HALF YOUR LIFE AND THEN TRY TO DIE? 

OR THINK OF IT THIS WAY... WOULD YOU FUCKING WANT HER TO LIVE THAT WAY?

Give me a fucking break, Grey... and stop it with bullshit that you sure as hell fucking know this "nuisance" is right about. Say horrible shit to me and break me down if it makes you feel like a 'big man'... because I'm not going to give you the satisfaction of peace until you're not making life-threatening fucking decisions.
