of course march wouldn't get it. but then again, why would he? it wasn't as if they'd ever really talked-- well, properly anyway, without all the yelling and the bickering. this, right here and now, was the closest that they'd ever gotten to actually getting along.
and even then, he wasn't sure what had compelled the blacksmith to follow him up here. okay, maybe it had a little to do with the fact that kyo was on the roof of his shop, but that was beside the point. it was still at least a bit surprising that he'd actually sat down near him rather than chase him off.
he wouldn't complain (or he'd try not to).
'yeah, i guess.' comes his initial reply, because that was more or less the gist of what he'd said. his tone isn't friendly necessarily, but it isn't exactly rude either as he continues. 'sometimes there's more to finding peace than just finding a place to relax.' it was also a state of mind, a state of being-- something he'd yet to achieve.
Not friends, not lovers, but a secret third thing. So deeply entwined in the fabric of each other’s souls that you couldn’t pry them apart with a crowbar. Codependency to the point where it’s wildly inconvenient to both the plot and also every single other person around within a 50 mile radius. We are either saving the world together or ending it. He is half of my soul. Etc, etc.
Danny Ramirez as Ash | No Exit (2022)
That makes sense. He's always assumed Kyou sought out the rooftop because it was high enough and far enough to be left alone. It's never occurred to him that Kyou might simply...enjoy being here.
Yuki finds himself wondering how many evenings the cat has spent exactly like this, watching the sky change colors while everyone else remains downstairs, oblivious. When Tohru is mentioned, a fond smile tugs at his lips.
"I don't think she's capable of letting someone go to bed hungry."
His smile fades, leaving behind a thoughtful silence. It surprises him how little he feels the need to defend himself or anticipate another argument, when usually, if the two so much as exchanged more than two words, World War III erupted. Maybe that's why the question he had every intention of keeping well under wraps suddenly tumbles from his lips without a second thought.
"Can I ask you something?"
He turns his head just enough to look at Kyou properly, his visage is a vision of uncertainty, but he's already started…he may as well see it through. Not leaving Kyou the opportunity to agree or reject, Yuki continues.
"When did this stop being just about me? When we were kids, I understood it. I'm the rat, you hate me because of the Zodiac."
"But somewhere along the way, it started feeling like you were angry before I even opened my mouth...I've wondered about that for a long time."
can i ask you something?
almost instinctively, he feels himself tense. he isn't sure why, isn't sure that there's any logical reason for it; or maybe there is, perhaps he's just afraid of what that question might be, of what yuki could possibly want to ask.
and when he learns, the query hanging heavily within the air between them, he finds that he's been left somehow more surprised than he'd expected to be. the words aren't harsh, they aren't judgmental; rather, they're honest, unguarded, curious.
for a moment, he remains silent, unsure of how to respond-- or, that isn't right, he does know, but rather finds it hard to admit, the words almost stuck, caught within his throat. but if yuki were brave enough to ask, he could be brave enough to answer.
'because i was angry.' he, finally, begins, arms tightening themselves around his legs, almost defensively. 'at you sometimes, sure, but at myself, too. sometimes i still am.' gaze remains focused ahead, eyes narrowing, not in anger, but rather a determination. 'honestly, it isn't even that i'm really mad at you, but... that i'm mad that i can't be more like you.'
jealousy. that's what it was-- what it is. there's a resentment even. all of that coupled with his need for a target, for someone to hate, to blame, for his situation, for everything that he's been through, for everything that's happened to him for simply being who, and what, he is. yuki was just there, he was yuki, he was the rat. who better to blame than him? it wasn't right, it wasn't true; it was just easier.
his frown deepens. 'it... started because you were the rat, i guess. but eventually it was just easier to blame you for everything. not even because you did anything wrong, but because you were the rat. and because i was jealous.'
The gentle knock of their elbows together prompts another reluctant smile from Hitoshi. Kaminari has always possessed the uncanny ability to coax reactions out of him, ones typically buried beneath deadpan remarks and half lidded stares. He was just…a good guy like that.
The ballroom continues its swirling chaos of polite laughter and clinking champagne glasses around them. Hitoshi hardly notices any of it, save for the odd squint of his eyes in retaliation to the numerous camera flashes assaulting his vision.
"...Ok, well in that case…thanks?" How does one even react to that kind of compliment? Hitoshi has a lot of friends, he can’t complain on that front. But he's also spent years hearing his expression is unsettling, his voice eerie, his quirk fit for a villain--accepting that he allegedly looks ‘sexy’ by arguably one of the most handsome dazzling people in the room…well, it takes a moment to sink in.
"...By the way." Hitoshi begins, so reluctant ( out of shyness more than anything else ) that it feels like he has to physically pull the syllables from his mouth with invisible pliers.
"You clean up pretty well yourself." There's absolutely no eye contact as he delivers the compliment, if Kaminari even hears it over the deafening thrum of music and surrounding chatter, Hitoshi almost hopes it does get lost in the noise.
the scene is a little overwhelming even for him-- the lights are too bright, the chatter too distracting, the clinking of glass against glass somewhat grating against his eardrums. he handles it well, of course, his expression perfectly amiable for the cameras while he remains ready to socialize, to be charming, when he must (not that he isn't generally friendly to begin with, but that's besides the point).
still, he hopes that they don't have to stay too long. he's more than sure that shinsou feels the same-- honestly, he was probably ready to leave the moment they'd arrived.
at least for now he was enjoying his company. shinsou was always easy to be around. he was calm, his presence relaxing, he put him at ease-- he made events like this easier. and denki hoped that, in his own way, he maybe did the same for him.
'was that a question?' he responds over the music, somewhat teasing, a hint of amusement laced within his words. 'seriously, though, you're welcome.' he continues, his expression softening, genuine. 'you really need to stop sounding so surprised. you really do look good. plus your suit is way cooler than mine.' he reaches up, fingers gently tugging at the other's sleeve in emphasis.
he almost misses the returned compliment, shinsou's voice soft against the surrounding laughter, against the melody that swirls about the room. almost, but not quite. it's simple praise, but from shinsou it means a lot; he wasn't really one for flattery. there's a warmth that blooms within his chest in response. 'really? you think so? thanks!' he tugs slightly at the front of his own jacket. 'i mean, it's kinda plain compared to yours, but i figured the colors matched my uniform, so might as well stick with a classic, right.'

it's always "you gnawed off your own leg to escape like an animal caught in a trap" and never "why didn't anyone try to help you out of the trap" or "why weren't you provided with any other resources to escape the trap with except for your own teeth"
despite his familiarity with biology ( or perhaps in part due to it ) he is easily made squeamish by blood. before everything went south, this had been most prevalent when his blood needed to be taken for tests, unable to look at the needle as it plunged or the red fluid being drawn out. injuries aren't so bad in moderation, but this guy is basically just watching it happen and it is enough to make grace wince, hands curling into half - hearted fists as forearms shield his eyes for a moment.
❛ yeah, no, i see that— jesus, would it kill you to at least bandage it ? have you not got a— there's got to be something around here. ❜ he might be searching the place more for his own delicate sensibilities rather than any outright concern for the other's wellbeing — he looks like he can handle his own — but he sifts up what looks vaguely like an apron or uniform and tosses it the man's way with a face of appalment. ❛ here. tourniquette, or something. ❜
realistically it's not that bad an injury, but it will at least save the droplets from continuing past his wrist, and thus my bile from continuing past my oesophagus. i try and focus on what he'd said before my distraction, face scrunching with recollection.
❛ you, we ? like, you have a team ? i mean, that's great, no ? we just chill out here until they come, wait for them to help ? ❜ hope lights up the kiln of his eyes fast, too fast, forgetting the part where the self - proclaimed merc had admitted its shortcoming. ❛ sorry, i'm . . . i'm getting ahead of myself. you got a name ? ❜
brows scrunch, a crinkle of confusion forming along the bridge of his nose as the other man raises his arms, shields his eyes, suddenly quite visibly bothered before him. he'd have questioned the abrupt change in behavior had he not been so quickly beaten to the punch. ah. squeamish. he sure did pick a shit time to be afraid of blood-- you know, zombies and all.
'what-- you think i wouldn't have already done that if i could?' comes his swift rebuttal, expression now more awash with a faint exasperation than amusement (though a hint yet remains-- it won't for long). 'not like i'm bleedin' everywhere just for the hell of it. hard to believe, i know.' he catches the garment thrown his way with ease. it's not exactly filthy, but he'd be hard-pressed to say that it's clean either. still, he tears the fabric into strips, quickly wrapping the wound-- it's not perfect, but it would do for the time being. he uses what scraps remain to wipe the red from his arm, a sigh escaping him as they're tossed aside. 'happy now?'
maybe for the moment, he is, but whatever comfort he'd found, carlos was rapidly about to strip away, like a rug from beneath his feet.
'yeah, about that...' so, the bad news first, or the worse news second? 'i lost contact with my team a while ago. lost my partner a while back too, which is why i had no supplies to patch myself up with. pretty much used 'em all tryin' to save him.' not that it had done either of them any good. still, he doesn't regret making the choices he had; he'd try to save him again if he had the chance. 'so, sure, we can try to wait it out. no guarantee anyone's comin' though.' not anymore. 'and the name's carlos. sorry i got nothin' for ya but bad news.'
Headcanon that Bucky repeatedly tried to tear off the metal arm
Spencer knew the very moment he spoke that Carlos would brush him off, but he'd tried anyway. He knows why Carlos continues to work himself to the bone like this, why he won't take a break even when Spencer insists; he's been there. He knows his friend is trying to make up for a wrongdoing that wasn't even his own fault — something Spencer has tried incredibly hard to get through Carlos' thick skull, with little to no success, clearly.
It wasn't his fault that he'd been manipulated, lied to, used. He didn't have to make up for anything he'd done; but Spencer knew him better than that, by now, && knew Carlos would carry that guilt with him for the rest of his life. It wasn't something Spencer could just wave a hand && fix, as much as he desperately wanted to.
He'd just have to get creative in his methods of getting Carlos to take care of himself, somehow.
It's hard to stay focused, though, when Carlos grins at him like that && calls him pretty while asserting his concern is unnecessary. Heat begins to spread along the tips of his ears the line of his cheekbones, but he forces himself to ignore it. This is just how Carlos is; he flirts with everyone, much like Morgan does. It wouldn't do him any good to get all fluttery about it.
❛❛ I've been known to be rather adept at multitasking, ❜❜ he fires back instead, focusing on the task at hand rather than the fluster from Carlos' easy flirting. ❛❛ Not the hardest thing in the world to think about more than one thing at a time, when you're a genius. ❜❜ A slight grin of his own is tossed in Carlos' direction, almost smug.
❛❛ But, really. How much help are you going to be if you don't get enough rest?? ❜❜ This is his current strategy; appeal to Carlos' need to be useful in order to trick him into caring for himself. His rate of success varied, but it would work until he came up with something else. ❛❛ I know you want to help, but you can't do that if you spread yourself too thin. Come on, the work will still be there in the morning. ❜❜
spencer's response hardly comes as a surprise, though he's sure that his own hadn't either. the guy was a genius, he read people for a living; studied their behavior-- as much as he liked to imagine that, sometimes, he still maintained an air of mystery, of intrigue, he very much doubted that was the case. particularly given the amount of time they'd now spent within one another's presence.
still, the upturned curvature to his lips remains, as does his gaze, ever fixated upon the man before him. it doesn't go unnoticed, the faint dusting of pink along the tips of his ears, along the high points of his cheekbones; spencer manages to brush it off well enough, to push through and make his point, but carlos finds that he enjoys the fleeting sight all the time.
'mm, i'll bet.' he quips, cheeky. 'no need to toot your own horn, i'm more than happy to do it for you.' a half truth, half banter; the flirtatious undertone remains. ''course, smug looks good on you, so who am i to complain?'
still, it didn't look like he'd be winning this round. or, maybe he could have, but-- it wasn't as if spencer was wrong, exactly, either.
he then sighs, though a bit more heavily than intended. 'yeah, yeah-- i get it.' and he does even if he doesn't want to admit. is he fine? yeah, more or less. he'd like to think so anyway. would he stay that way? maybe. who knows. he'd been planning to cross that bridge when he got to it. ''kay, how about this-- i'll call it a night if you grab a drink with me. or dinner. whatever, i'm not picky.'
Yuki smiles despite himself, small but unguarded.
"No, I don't think that."
If Arakita has proven anything over the past few weeks, it's that he's more than capable of handling himself, moving through the world with a reckless grace that he can't help but admire. Yuki trusts him, enough to follow him through territory neither of them can predict.
He takes a step closer to the Bianchi, sweeping an appreciative glance over its pristine frame before resting a hand lightly against the rear rack. Not many bicycles had survived this long, let alone in such immaculate condition…A true testament to Arakita's dedication to the things that matter.
Without wasting another second, Yuki swings one leg over the back and settles himself into the saddle, adjusting the weight of his backpack until he finds its balance. A slight bounce tests the sturdiness of the setup, and he nods, satisfied.
"This should be fine."
Both hands come to rest against each side of the seat then, thin digits curling just enough to preemptively anchor himself against uneven ground or unseen potholes.
"We'll head East for the first few kilometres, there's a service station just outside town. Last time I passed through, it hadn't been picked completely clean."
Yuki bounces lightly on the saddle again, once, twice, testing the suspension, then turns his head to shoot Arakita a more noticeable smile this time around.
"Ready when you are, pilot."
with a swing of the leg, he situates himself atop the saddle, the cushion familiar, comfortable, beneath him. his fingers wrap themselves around the handlebars, a glance spared behind him, ensuring that yuki, too, was secure at his back. he eyes the hands curled against the seat with a quirked brow and clicks his tongue against his teeth.
'yeah, yeah-- make sure ya don't fall off.'
he almost adds that if he does, he won't turn around for him, but he knows that's a lie and so bites his tongue. he'd gone out of his way to save his life, to help care for him as he healed; he'd allowed him to stick around until he'd fully recovered, he was driving him back to his group, which was days away from where they were now-- clearly he wasn't about to ditch him, least of all in the middle of nowhere.
somehow he imagines that yuki would have known as much, too.
and with that, they're off-- headed east as instructed. the ride, all things considered, is relatively uneventful. his bianchi rides smooth, quiet, and fast; the undead, though fewer and more scattered than elsewhere in town, are present, yet easily enough avoided, as are most of the roadblocks, streets more barren than not.
he almost questions their luck as they arrive at their first destination, though ultimately decides that it's well deserved given the events of their first meeting.
he slows, comes to a halt near the entrance, narrowed gaze surveying the station. it's nothing special, really-- simple, relatively small compared to most. only one car remains, abandoned in the parking lot, driver's door left ajar. he can see why this place had, perhaps, been overlooked, hadn't yet been picked entirely clean.
his head tilts, motions for yuki to get off before he's following suit, resting his bike carefully against the outer wall, eyes peering through the glass. 'looks like ya were right. place hasn't been totally looted yet.'
🔊 @nocturnique continued from
If Hitoshi has ever been certain of anything in his life, it's that; no…absolutely not everyone is thinking he looks sexy in his, admittedly well tailored, deep indigo suit that feels entirely too foreign on his frame. In fact, it's probably only Kaminari who's thinking anything remotely along those lines, and even then, it's hard not to take the electric blonde's observation with a pinch of salt.
And still, it makes Hitoshi's collar feel tighter than the starched fabric warrants.
"Uh…yeah, no one is thinking that, Kaminari." He mutters under his breath as he tears his gaze away from the other's too bright eyes, fixing it instead on the glittering ballroom where heroes milled around beneath crystal chandeliers. Fancy hero functions like this were…the worst, honestly. No wonder Aizawa sensei is nowhere in sight, he'd surely hate such a hoo ha over Pro Heroes.
But, Kaminari's presence makes the boiling media spotlights and cameras flashing every second more…tolerable, along with the proximity of their other friends scattered throughout the crowd.
Still burning hot from the compliment, Hitoshi returns his attention to Kaminari, his brow lifting in a questioning arch.
"How many flutes of champagne have you even had?"
The alcohol, it has to be the alcohol.
his expression falls, if only slightly, at shinsou's response; a subtle downward curl to his lips, a faint knit to his brow. it isn't necessarily that he expects him to reply differently (shinsou was big on self-depreciation, after all), but it makes him a little sad all the same.
he looked amazing, really. he was incredibly well dressed, his suit perfectly fitted, a rich, moody shade of indigo-- very well chosen, he couldn't help but think. he looked far more interesting than denki did himself; clothed in a classic black and white ensemble.
it's such a shame that shinsou couldn't see what denki was sure that everyone else could-- or at least what he did.
still, this wasn't an evening for dour expressions (especially not when the cameras were flashing), and so he's quick readjust his features, a small smile finding him as he bumps an elbow against his companion's. 'uh, please, they'd be stupid not to.'
he's less shy, less anxious, as he responds this time-- possibly, he finds that convincing the other that he's right is more important than his own feelings happen to be.
'what? only one.' he pauses, countenance somewhat quizzical for a moment. 'why? wait-- you think i'm only complimenting you because i'm drunk? because no, i'm not.'
