The Smiling Snake

Ah tell me why I can’t get enough Gotta break it, the shaking hearts that never give up Haunting their tauntingly inadequate lives I’m buried in their eyes { Sorrel Apt. Room 3 }

[outersnaking]

"Aah, it looks like I've been away for too long, again." He also got some brand new bandages, that are thankfully hidden by his clothes - what does he even do when he leaves? Well, that's for him to know.

[karasuno-beauty]

Kiyoko puffed out her cheeks in frustration. This boy just wasn’t going to listen to her, was he. Well, she guessed she’d better take matters into her own hands. The third year placed a finger on her chin, gazing intensely at the snake that was coiled around the boy’s shoulders. She seemed to be thinking enthusiastically about something, though what it was anyone’s guess.

After a few moments, Kiyoko gave a small nod, seemingly coming to a conclusion. She wasn’t going to let this stubborn boy keep his cute snake from not having a name. No way, she wasn’t allowing it. Crossing her arms over her chest, she looked the boy straight in the eyes.

"His name is Mizuki-chan."

[outersnaking]

The girl goes strangely quiet, but it's not like Kuroha cares. Instead, he keeps stroking the snake's smooth scales, letting it slide forward a little more. The snake is curious, and he's not exactly against letting it get close to others. So, maybe the snake can attack, it's no big deal. It's not like it's venomous, anyway.

However, his attention was brought back to her when she looked up at him, seeming to be completely determined, and proclaimed--

"... No." Is this girl actually trying to give the snake a name - and not only give it a name, but give it a stupid, girly name? Great. Just his luck. He should have left after finding out that the rat wasn't there. "It's a snake. It has no name."

Secret Crush

♥ Secret Crush: Does your muse have a secret crush they can’t share? Or perhaps everyone knows anyway? Tell us why they like them so much.

"I'm not stupid enough for that."

He's sneering at the idea, but--... isn't he feeling a little weird when he's around that girl with the red scarf?

[outersnaking]

hEY SWEETHEART [wink wonk]

♥ Hey Sweetheart: Is that your new car? Why don’t you drive it off of a cliff? Write about all the things your muse thinks about doing to mine when they’re really angry!

What a good brother you are, Konoha, offering Kuroha the chance to talk about this so promptly. Now, what Kuroha thinks about doing to Konoha when he's angry, you ask...

After so long dealing with having his brother around and being forbidden from doing anything harmful, he's become more controlled about his temper, but oh, he can't lie and say he doesn't think about how sweet it would be to make Konoha swallow his irritating comments by making him cry out in pain.

Crushing him, destroying him, humiliating him, leaving him helpless and broken, mostly, but there are so many ways to kill him or destroy him... He could stab him, strangle him, give him to his snakes, break his bones, torture him little by little, drop him from a window, shove him in front of a car, throw him off a bridge--

Oh, there are a lot of things that he wishes he could do when he's angry. He won't go through with them, but sometimes, he really wishes he could.

[deductiofaciendo]

He’s been told on countless occasions that he doesn’t have a heart, and therefore is a ‘heartless bastard’— These opinions— And possibly facts— do not bother him in the slightest.

[outersnaking]

Exactly why you can appreciate the full implication of these situations. They fall so in love, and they all end up suffering for it - pitiful, pathetic creatures, aren't they? So, watch the show. Wait for them to suffer because of their stupid mistakes.

[akayano]

This… was the boy that had spontaneously kissed her before, wasn’t it? It’s hard to mistake someone who looked like him for anybody else. Figuring it’d be best if they finally formally met, Ayano puts on a smile and a gives a polite nod.

"Hello! We’ve met before, right?"

[outersnaking]

"Yes, we have." He stops, staring at her. It's... weird. Really weird. His heart is feeling so strange, and he thinks he must be getting a fever by the warmth he's feeling.

... How sick did he get?

"What's your name, again?"

[idiotglasses]

The amount of love in the air was rotting his innards. 

[deductiofaciendo]

Hey, look. They’re on the same page about something.

[outersnaking]

Cheer up and look forward to the day when they all have their heart broken, like the stupid idiots they are.

[karasuno-beauty]

Kiyoko purse her lips, not satisfied with his answer. Having a pet without a name was surely a crime, at least in her book. She couldn’t believe this strange boy didn’t think the same.

"Of course he has to have a name," she insisted stubbornly. "Just like you an I have names. It would be unfair if you have a name but your pet doesn’t." There was no way she was gonna give up on this one, no matter what excuse the boy made. 

[outersnaking]

"It's just a snake, it's not like it's going to learn it or answer to it. It can't even hear well to learn it, so what difference would it make to give it a name? Make it sound stupid?" He rolls his eyes, shaking his head as he pets the snake's head. Honestly, he never understood why people feel the need to name pets, much less something like a snake.

It's not like the snake cares about it, anyway. And indeed, the snake seems to not be listening, gaze on the girl as he tries to move from his owner's grasp - but Kuroha keeps him in place. As much as he doesn't care, he doesn't want to deal with the troubles.

"It's fine as snake, so there's no reason to name it."

[outersnaking]

akayano replied to your post:Fools (lol) (lol) (lol)

HECK

Could it be? Yes-! It's Ayano. Of course he's not excited, and he's not sure why his heart felt like it is trying to leap from his chest, but he figures that he might have caught something.

Still, he can't quite let the chance slip away.

"Hey."

[outersnaking]

(( i wonT SAY (IM IN LOVE) OK BYE ))

♥ I Won’t Say (I’m In Love): At least out loud, I won’t say it… Your muse is now incredibly tsundere for the next 4 hours.

... He's just sick, why would he be tsundere. Clearly, he just need to go to a hospital or something. There's nothing as pathetic as love. No. Never. He's better than that.

[outersnaking]

Fools (lol) (lol) (lol)

♥ Fools: What if we ruin it all and love like fools? My muse is hopelessly in love with [anon decides] for the next day.

Ah, this is so... strange. He can't take that girl out of his mind... the one with red scarf. He remember having kissed her last time he saw her, but he had promptly taken that off his mind... until now, and it's filling his head.

His chest feels weird...

Shit. He's getting sick, isn't he. Just great.

[karasuno-beauty]

Kiyoko tilted her head as watched the snake flick its tongue and hiss. She didn’t see many of them, except occasionally when she was out running in the woods, slithering across the path, but the high schooler did like snakes. She thought their little tongues were adorable.

"He doesn’t have a name?" she asked in surprise, glancing back at the owner of the adorable serpent.

"That’s not okay. He has to have a name."

[outersnaking]

Kuroha quirked an eyebrow at her reply, letting out a sigh as he shakes his head. Is this girl serious? Adjusting the snake in his arms, he raises his hand to run his fingers over the serpent's head.

"It's a snake, snakes don't need names." The snake placidly flickered his tongue, yellow eyes focused on the girl. At least it's his gentler snake, rather than the irritated one, so he doesn't need to worry about having to apologize for it trying to attack.

"They don't even have good hearing, it's just happy if I give it food."

[karasuno-beauty]

"I-I’m afraid I haven’t…" she replied, a little surprised. She’d never been asked that question before. Kiyoko eyed the snake hanging from the stranger’s shoulders for a moment, silent, before getting a small twinkle in her eye.

"He’s so cute. What’s his name?"

[outersnaking]

"Tch..." Sighing, Kuroha looks down at his snake as the animal hisses quietly, tasting the air and watching the stranger curiously. "I guess I'll have to buy you a new lunch--"

Cute...? His snake was cute? Most people found it creepy, his brother hated it with a passion, but this stranger thought it was cute? Maybe she had hit her head or something. Or she was just strange.

"Snake. He doesn't have a name."

[karasuno-beauty]

outersnaking

[karasuno-beauty]

Ah. More people. Kiyoko was starting to get a little bit worried that the whole town was going to show up at her apartment, though she certainly hoped that that wasn’t going to be the case.

"Hello. My name is Shimizu Kiyoko."

[outersnaking]

"Have you seen a rat anywhere." That's it. That's his greeting, a large, black snake wrapped over his shoulders and hanging from his arms. "I bought one but it ran away."

[outersnaking]

Valentine's day. What a pathetic, ridiculous concept for a celebration. The only good thing is being able to watch these pathetic beings getting hurt once it's over...

Oh well, he just needs to make sure his brothers are not going to be out and causing trouble for him and then he can enjoy his time watching it. Maybe ruin a few people if it gets too boring.

ｆｉｒｅｌｉｌｉｅｓ } kuroha&ene

So, all in all, Ene was definitely a digital person — not literally, ahaha, but you know, she preferred the cyber life, the computer, something she’d grown to indulge herself into by mere accident at some point in her life. Alas, as much as electronics appealed to her programming experience, she had hobbies outside of such, adoring real life more than you could imagine, and that could be pin-pointed down to her restrictions to the computer at some point or another. Wherever that barrier had come from, she’d rather not say, but as of late, she’d taken much more interest in the outside world. It doesn’t necessarily calm her, but it’s different, and refreshing to an extent.

Which is why she’s dragging Kuroha out to garden.

Now, you might be wondering where this inspiration came from? Haruka had mentioned his weird brother here and there (to tell the truth, she didn’t know about him at all, and there was another one called Konoha too — frankly, both were like fake Harukas) so, when she finally met him and felt herself disgusted with his nude streaks and kissing habits, she felt the need to cleanse him from such disturbing auxiliary activities. Did the devious man have any say in this? Absolutely not! When Ene was serious, she was darn right serious, and would even use blackmail to drag people into things!

… That is to say, blackmail doesn’t work on Kuroha, but dragging him out to the front garden of the apartments when he’s visiting his brother does.

「Repeat after me: I cannot burn any flower that will be in this garden!」

Ene enthusiastically calls, raising a shovel in the air. One might expect a spade, but Ene was extreme, and she imagined Kuroha was too.

[outersnaking]

Just what in the world had happened for him to end up in this situation? He's Kuroha, for crying out loud. Before he moved to Toshi because someone had to babysit his brothers, people talked about him in hushed whispers. He was not someone to be messed with, and most definitely not someone you should be dragging outside for something he has no interest in.

But apparently, someone didn't tell this annoying girl, his little brother's friend or something, that. And so, he found himself being forced outside, glaring at the smaller girl as she cheers, with a shovel, as if she's taking a child to plant a tree or something equally stupid. A child who had matches and a complete lack of care about the general state of said tree, and has warned her over and over again since he's been dragged out of the apartment that he absolutely does not want to go out and indulge her in her idiotic idea of planting some stupid, pathetic tree that is probably just going to die anyway even if he doesn't do anything to the damned thing.

This is just ridiculous. This Ene girl has literally no notion of danger, does she?

"I'll burn every single one of them and destroy everything in this stupid garden." Kuroha replies flatly, glaring at Ene. Can't this girl get a hint? He doesn't like gardening, she needs to leave him alone before she annoys him too much. "Let me go, right now."
