An actual articulate apology.

(Now you’re the one being an asshole, Neku.)

"Look, I’m sorry too. Thanks for coming to see me, it meant a lot."

He sighs, averting his eyes. The apology and the expression of gratitude felt weak, hollow, but it was the best Neku could do at the moment. Joshua had taken him by surprise and he wasn’t sure exactly what he had expected.

(You say that, but you’re the one who contacted him in the first place.)

So Neku Sakuraba swallows his pride for a moment, sets down whatever it was that he’d picked up the moment before, shoves his hands in his pockets and takes a deep breath.

"I’m not, really as busy as I said I was. Uh, do you wanna go somewhere and talk that isn’t the record store? I think they’re getting anxious."

He thumbs back to the counter lady, who was still looking at them as if they may cause a scene in the middle of her store.

That's the in Josh needed. The fake (as called by many at this point) smile that is near-constantly plastered onto his face returns, but feels considerably less fake than it may have been before. "Thank you, Neku. I think I'd like that."

(Yeah, you could say that again.) Neku shrugs. Opening his hands out wide. “What would you like me to say? That I was upset when you didn’t come say hi? Look, it’s fine. Don’t feel like you have to make amends. You’ll do your job…” (And I’ll do mine.) What that was, Neku wasn’t quite sure. But after his experience he wasn’t just about to let the welfare of Shibuya rest in this jerk’s hands. These days, Neku wandered around, going from shop to shop on different days of the week, keeping his eyes peeled for player pins. If he could help anyone at all, he would. That’s not to say this took up his whole life. He still had school, his studies, and his new friends. The year had been pretty uneventful up until he spoke to Kariya. The reaper had been wandering around the RG and needless to say spotted Neku almost immediately. It wasn’t hard to tell that the asshole had an ulterior motive— and when he started to mention the internet, Neku figured it out. Clearly someone wanted to tal—- And here he is, thinking about it instead of talking about it. Again. (Ugh. Why is he acting like this. Does he need something from me or does he really just want to apologize?)

Just what was it Joshua wanted Neku to say? All this time spent thinking about it and he hadn't even considered that. Did he want to be forgiven, did he just need to be able to say he apologized to make himself feel better? The god-king of Shibuya heaves a sigh. His previously tense features roll into a shrug and a light hearted laugh. "I don't know what I expected, or what I wanted really. I've been trying to do things differently and I suppose I thought this was something I had to do."

Or, something another certain redhead told him he should do. Why did anyone ever listen to Koki Kariya? He's imbecillic when it comes to social interaction, clearly. Thus making Joshua's decision to deal with this all the more stupid. "I apologize for wasting your precious time. You know how to get ahold of me should you ever feel the need."

Tumblr updated and messed up my Stylish theme. Ugh.

#I will now spend the next two #maybe three hours fixing this atrocity.
