"Which person was it?"

Goka Nijiku?

*A person around Goka's age walks up to him with a small bag.*

I was hoping we might have a conversation.

@the-pierre-siblings

Goka's eyes immediately narrowed. "Not interested. Scram."

.... I haven't even made my request for a potential friendship yet.

*They say now looking a bit nervous about their original plan.*

"Friendship? Are you sure that was your intention? Or are you just trying to play it off as if you weren't about to ask me out?"

*They immediately look disgusted at the thought.*

I don't have any romantic interest in you. We have only just met. People who rush into relationships like that are just plain foolish. I ask for a potential friendship because I have been recently informed that I don't have any actual friends and that is important for social development.

"Well, I don't make friends. There nothing but a distraction from more important things."

A fair assessment. Thank you for your time nonetheless.

*They hand him the bag and turn to leave. Inside the bag is a small box of senbei and some salty squid jerky. They did their research.*

Goka opened the bag and was immediately surprised. Last he knew only his family should know his favorites... "Hey. Where did you hear I liked this stuff."

*They look back to Goka.*

It was partially a guess and partially observation. While you normally don't eat in the academy cafeterias when you do you never eat anything sweet. And you have a clear preference for fried squid. Senbei is a salty snack that I thought would be enjoyable and the squid jerky is because it can be packaged for a quick gift more effectively than actual fried squid.

*They explain calmly before looking a bit embarrassed.*

I, um, have never attempted to make friends before so I wanted to do well and if friendship wasn't well received it was at least not an inconvenience for you.

Goka blinked a few times. This person went out of their way to find out something he would clearly like more? Maybe friendship wasn't something horrible... Maybe giving it a chance could be worth it. Goka took a deep breath. "If you're trying this hard to attempt to be my friend... I'll humor you. I'll be your friend."

*Kit smiles as they look relieved.*

Thank you for the opportunity to try.

Goka nodded slightly. "Mhm... And what exactly do friends do?"

Based on my research so far based on the other student of the academy. They usually eat lunch together, discuss shared interests, and occasionally spend time together outside of class hours doing things they find interesting.

*They come to a pause as they realize something.*

Ah, I've made a mistake. I forgot to introduce myself.

*They bow their head politely.*

My name is Kitrina Pierre. I hope that i do well as your friend.

[Zanka hums to himself as he doodles on a clipboard for some reason. Probably from either of his parents offices,he painted along the smooth side of the board. A big yellow flower on a corner,sparkles,hearts,bows.

Looking at him now,he almost looked like an actual kid to whoever passed to see the garden,not a Nijiku.]

Goka stared at Zanka for a few minutes. He should remind him there's more important things to do then doodle, but he couldn't bring himself to actually say anything, instead he sat down beside Zanka. "Your drawing looks nice."

[Zanka blinks in surprise when Goka sits beside him on the bench. Suddenly he's very much aware of how silly his drawings look as he clutches the clipboard closer.

Pink bows and sparkles. Was he a toddler again?? He grimaced while twirling a paint brush stained with yellow.]

Uh thanks...I was bored.

"Understandable. Training and the academy get pretty repetitive huh?"

Well- I am still focused on that,i just...father told me to do other things that ain't that....

"It should be good for you, give you a break from the stress."

Yeah,he asked what I wanted to do but I didn't know...i said maybe woodcarving and he said we could go buy a knife next time he has time.

"That's nice." Goka said with a soft hum.

Hnm...what about ya. How...has yer day been?

Goka stared at Zanka for a few minutes. He should remind him there's more important things to do then doodle, but he couldn't bring himself to actually say anything, instead he sat down beside Zanka. "Your drawing looks nice."

[Zanka speedwalked through the corridors of the Estate,almost bumping several people on his way as he kept his head down,heavy boots screeching at every turn until he almost kicked through his bedroom door before slamming it closed and throwing himself into bed.

Silence followed,Zanka's shoulders shook as he gripped a pillow onto his face. The nothingness broken by little gasps for air against the fabric of the pillow,which was already getting wet with tears.]

( @oblivious-nijiku )

Goka noticed Zanka's seeming rush to get to his room, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. Why was he going to his room in such a rush? Goka followed behind him only to notice that he shut the rather loudly. Goka didn't even ask he just opened Zanka's door and stepped inside eyes widening being met with the sound of gasping for air. "Litt- Zanka?" Goka said quietly. He was going to say 'Little pest' his choice of a term of endearment but thought it would only end up upsetting him more.

[A staggered breath came out,along with a wet cough as Zanka gasped deeply,backing away from the pillow only to then hide under it.

Light coughing along with the occasional sob sounded from underneath the pillow.]

Goka slowly stepped closer and sat down on Zanka's bed hesitantly holding his hand out to lightly pat his back. "Zanka... Are you sick?..." Goka questioned quietly, that was probably a bad question to ask but the wet coughing made him think he might be sick.

[Zanka sniffed before shaking his head no. That would be pathetic.

As if he wasn't pathetic right now. He just couldn't decide what was more uncouth,his sobbing or the reason for it.]

"Can you take your head out from under the pillow? It can't be easy to breathe..." Goka mumbled as he continued to lightly pat Zanka's back.

[His fingers tightened where he held the pillow down,not really a fan of the idea of Goka seeing how he looked right now,even if he could already hear it very clearly...

As a compromise,he pulled his head from under the pillow but dragged the blanket over his face.]

"I'll turn the other way if that would make you feel more comfortable, would you like that?"

[Zanka managed a choked out no between the quiet sobs. His voice still shaky and cracking.

What would make it better? Him being smarter. It would be great. If Zanka wasn't so stupid compared to how a Nijiku should be,he wouldn't be crying.]

"Do you want me to just go and come back later?" Goka asked quietly.

[Zanka had to think for a moment before shaking his head again. He really didn't trust himself alone,even if being seen like this wasn't ideal.]

"Do you just wanna sit in silence with me for now?"

[He sniffed under the blanket before turning on his side.]

Yea...

"Ok." Goka sat beside Zanka in silence.

[After some minutes of winding down,Zanka is quietly sniffing under the blanket.]

...

I barely passed...

"Zanka.." Goka said quietly. "That's ok.. You still passed didn't you?"

It was a seventy!

I knew all the answers! It should've been 100! But i fucked up the answer sheet and-

[He curls himself up under the blanket.]

"Zanka. It's ok. You did good. Ok?"

A seventy isn't good.

"Zanka. Just calm down. It's ok. I don't do the best in the academy."

Stop lyin' to make me feel better.

"I'm not lying Zanka."

Well even if yer not the best. It doesn't matter when 'm makin' stupid mistakes like this.
