a certain Pomegranate Damsel approached Mary with a bubbly air, taking his place right next to her and beginning to speak as if this was an every day ritual.

"Hey hey, darling! How was class? You just had Trien, right?"

@p0megrave-official

“Hey… yeah… it was fine…”

Mary grumbles, crossing her arms.

“Don’t you like… have your boyfriend to talk to or something? MY best friend?”

She says a bit snarky but looking a bit flustered at the sudden presence.

[p0megrave-official]

Pierce rolled his eyes playfully, "oh, babes, they're both busy. And it doesn't hurt to chat, hm? I'm a nice guy, i don't bite...unless you asked."

He spoke with a teasing tone. Pierce was on the more flirtatious side with some folks, but typically it wasn't anytbing to pay mind to. It was obvious who his heart belonged to in the end.

[rosethornprincess]

“W-well, I do! Don’t tease me!”

She huffs defensively, adjusting her pose to lean more comfortably, it’s clear how the lady towers over him with her height.

“Neo is my best friend and now I have to share his attention… and… look it’s fine that you date Neo, you make him happy… so don’t act all flirty with me… I’m a bad person to do that with…”

Mary admits, saying it with a bit of vulnerability.

“I’m only saying this because I want Neo happy, ok? I’m still not happy about my bestie being too busy for me”

[p0megrave-official]

"hm, yeah, well, I get it. It's weird." He admitted, "sharing time with someone, ya know. It's weird. I have some folks at rsa that are like that....aaaand my friends always feel like they are getting my attention too, so I want you to have the same treatment. So, uh, can we have a truce, lovely?"

Pierce truely didnt want bad blood between them, especially with someone so important to Neo.

"I want to get to know you better, someone who's important to Neo is important to me."

[rosethornprincess]

“…I have a thing… called HPD, Histrionic Personality Disorder, and that makes me act different and think different and stuff… I’m already getting help for that… But what I’m trying to say is that… Me and Neo, our friendship didn’t start healthy, I had just gotten off a terrible relationship, plus other stuff, and entering NRC I was in a horrible place mentally. I attached myself to Neo because he seemed amused but not blown away by my behavior, I felt I needed to get more of his attention to feel better about everything that was happening in my life, to validate my own existence… I saw him as an object to get attention from, and, He saw me as a prop, someone to amuse him. He would protect me and I would amuse him.”

Mary sighs, speaking softly and shyly, afraid to share her inner feelings.

“… Things changed overtime, we both started to actually get attached to each other, we started to just hangout, not feel the need to prove anything, to bond over things like music and dysphoria and… we just… we wanted to get better, not just for an individual gain but, so we can be better friends, to care better for each other, he is my special person and my main source of comfort… so… it just… it felt like you suddenly ripped him away from me… and I know it’s selfish, but I just… I really do love him”

She mumbles the last bit, unsure if it would be too much to say out loud, looking back at Pierce with small tears in her eyes.

“I… I want the truce, but, it’s hard for me to accept the change right now, I don’t hate you, I hate myself… and, yes, I’m working on that on therapy”

[p0megrave-official]

"neos a really lovable guy, isnt he? But you are...too...everything Neos told me about you is really....I like you too. And I'm sorry you feel that way, and i fully understand it. We don't need the truce if you aren't ready. And hating yourself is really hard to overcome....it manifests in lots of ways." He sighed and focused on his Pomegranate themed bracelet, "for me, I hated how i was so fragile people felt the need to save me from everything. But I'm very proud of you for working on it. It's very courageous to face it, you're very brave, hon. Youre doing it healthier than i did..."

Pierce tucked his hair behind his ear, this wasn't going as he thought it would...perhaps he should go...he seemed to be making her uncomfortable and that was...not the intended move.

"But the point is...I dont mean to...take him from you. Everyone deserves to experience him...I really don't want you feeling as though you were robbed. Really, I do..."

Sevens he was terrible at this oh my divines

[rosethornprincess]

Mary blushes, the compliments did feel nice, even if she still had very confusing feelings over this whole situation.

“Thank you… I understand the feeling of feeling helpless too, so… I get it”

She offers him a hug, opening her arms if he would like to accept it.

“I think you are a good person… and you are right, he is not an object, I can’t control his attention but I can still be his friend… and yours too”

She smiles softly, trying to show she is ready for a truce.

[p0megrave-official]

Pierce hugged her gently, this actually...worked. it worked! Wow, it worked. Sweet! Perfect! Awesome!

"Id like that too. I'm glad this is all...somewhat sorted out now. Your frustrations are valid, dont worry. But I'm glad we're at this square now."

[rosethornprincess]

"Yeah...”

She says with a smile, letting go of the hug before changing her mannerisms, now feeling a bit more theatrical.

"So... do you wanna grab something to eat and talk?... I like video games and Neo told me you like them too so, wanna talk about that while we eat?"

Mary offers, trying to genuinely be friendly but also establish the spotlight back to herself, Neo did mention how... theatrical his friend can be.

[p0megrave-official]

"Oh! Of course! Yes! I'd love to do that!" Pierce giggled, hands behind his head as he loosened up again, "where's your favorite place to go? I'm down to go wherever you wish."

[rosethornprincess]

DESIGN, ART, AND REF DONE BY @gorydreamer !!!!!

[a-devoted-follower]

hey, idk if we've met yet but I'm Pierce! What's your name?

[ @p0megrave-official ]

"...."

Naotsugu was staring at his own feet.

"Naotsugu." A one-worded response. He looked very sheepish yet sounded extremely dismissive, it was a confusing mix.

[p0megrave-official]

"Naotsugu...Naotsugu...gorgeous name, darling." He smiled, trying to make sure the other knew he was friendly. Pierce wasn't exactly the most intimidating, the most scary thing about his appearance and front is his drive to talk to anyone.

"Its great to meet you, Naotsugu."

[a-devoted-follower]

"..."

He didn't return the sentiment. Because to Naotsugu it wasn't nice to meet him, whenever someone approached him he simply assumed they wanted something from him.

So he asked the question he always asked.

"..What do you want?"

[p0megrave-official]

"Oh nothing, really. I just wanted to get to know you." Pierce hummed, it appears this guy nay be a tough cookie to crack. Reminded him of how Poisyn was in the beginning with the whole "not trusting anyone yet" vibe.

"We're both staying in Ignihyde, and I'm here every few weeks and stuff so I just wanted to get to know another dormmate! Seems like I meet more of you every day!"

[a-devoted-follower]

Ignihyde, right, to be normal like the rest he was supposed to..bond. With fellow students in his dorm.

It couldn't be that hard.

Unwinding, Naotsugu finally met his gaze.

"Full Name."

An uncomfortable silence followed, as if expecting his demand to be received only for it fall flat.

"Your Full Name, what is it?"

[p0megrave-official]

"Oh! Pierce Karalis! Why? What's going on?" He answered, tilting his head with his hands in his pockets. Did Naotsugu recognize him by chance? That was always a risky game.

[a-devoted-follower]

"It doesn't matter.." Naotsugu whispered, the flatness he once had completely gone.

"Friends...Friends know each other's full names, right?" It was an innocent explanation.

[p0megrave-official]

"i-i guess, yeah...uhhm, so, tell me a bjt about you? Like, hobbies n stuff. Like, i stream and make cosplays." Pierce asked, trying to break the awkwardness a little. That's what this was, right? Awkward.

[a-devoted-follower]

"..." Naotsugu slowly blinked, "Hobbies.." Naotsugu whispered, "I like..drawing." It came out half-formed, like he replaced the word from what it was originally into something more appropriate.

[p0megrave-official]

Pierce gasped, "drawing?! Oh that's so cool what? What do you usually draw?!"

Pierce started to notice a few things, Naotsugu was odd. Things he said were covered up by other abswers, as if hiding something.

[a-devoted-follower]

"..People I like." He said softly, a more "genuine" smile on his face. "And..older things?"

"What about you? What do you cosplay and stream?"

[p0megrave-official]

"Well, typically characters from games or shows I like. Ive done group cosplays with two of my friends before," Pierce shifted his weight onto a different leg, "as for streaming.....typically action, adventure, or horror games."

Older things he said? Naotsugu must be talented!

[a-devoted-follower]

Naotsugu nodded along, looking like any other interested teen learning like a classmate. Hands in his pockets, shoulders relaxed.

"..Mmh, you should show me some of them time to time."

He glanced towards the clock. "If we want to be acquainted...Can I get your chat ID?"

[p0megrave-official]

Pierce was proud, he had managed to get another friend! Sevens, new people were always so...interesting. he took out his phone and pulled up his phone number and discord, "id love too. Here's these, I use both equally. You gotta show me your paintings at some point."

[a-devoted-follower]

"Can do."

Naotsugu agreed with a low chuckle, giving a closed eye smile as they exchanged contact information.

"It was a honor meeting you."

[p0megrave-official]

"you too, Naotsu!" He smiled back, "If you ever want to find me, I'm typically around!"

[a-devoted-follower]

hey, idk if we've met yet but I'm Pierce! What's your name?

[ @p0megrave-official ]

"...."

Naotsugu was staring at his own feet.

"Naotsugu." A one-worded response. He looked very sheepish yet sounded extremely dismissive, it was a confusing mix.
