Something In Common || Elrena & Shouko

@cutthroat-nymph​ has entered the Hookah Lounge!

   When Shouko first received her invitation, she was... shocked, to say the least. It wasn’t like she spent a lot of time outside of her small friend group, so why she would be given one and not all of them puzzled her. She originally intended to decline, but after some encouragement from Minako, had decided to attend anyway. Now, the deaf teenager sat patiently at a table, hands folded in her lap as she watched the incense burn before her. 

   A body came into her line of sight, and Shouko raised her head with a smile. She waved in a welcoming hello.

‘Course I’m okay. You see tears on this gorgeous mug?’

Indeed, aside from signs of sweating–from a panicked bike ride to the clinic–Minako looked only a little ruffled. No tear tracks or smeared make up or reddened eyes. She carefully rubbed circles onto Shouko’s back, letting out a sigh of relief that the other girl would be able to feel. 

‘Little rattled, I’ll admit,’ Minako signed back, ‘but they say he’s stable and that it could have been way, way worse. So, I’m gonna trust the professionals. Plus, they kicked me out anyway, so–’

Whoops! Maybe a scooch too much information! Minako smiled and waved it off. 

‘I’m not that hungry either. Is there anything I can do for you, Shouchi?’

   Shouko allowed a soft laugh to pass her lips, gentle fingertips moving upwards to rest lightly on her cheek. With her free hand, she signed, ‘No, but crying or not, you look as beautiful as always.’ 

   Of course, Shouko knew, even with the calm circles on her spine and the breath that left Minako, that she was only saving face. She knew Miko better than she knew anyone else, and one thing about Miko that was obvious is how important Minato was to her. After all, Shouko was not the one greatly injured -- but Shouko was the only one Miko could do anything to help. Shouko felt guilty, shameful. Like she should be the one fighting to recover. 

   It was a similar feeling to how she felt at the hospital after the accident with Shouya. Knowing he was hurt, nearly killed, trying to protect her. Shaking her head, the eighteen year old shook off the haunting thoughts, gently dropping her fingers from Minako’s cheek. 

   ‘They kicked you out? Can they even do that?’ Shouko furrowed her eyebrows in a mix of confusion and anger, standing up and searching for a nurse to call over. ‘You’re his sister! They can’t just kick you out!’

Minako stared in shock at the reaction, though she really shouldn’t have been. Of course Shouko would be high strung. Of course Shouko wouldn’t be completely on the lookout for…for company. Not after what she’d been through. 

So Minako brought on her A-Game charm, giving her best friend a tired but welcoming smile, offering out the can of lemonade while tucking her own energy drink under an arm. 

‘Not really,’ Minako answered with a wink, sitting next to the other girl. `You know me better. ‘Course, I shouldn’t have snuck up on you like that. So, Even-Stevens! Here, drink up. I tried to score some snacks, but the cafeteria won’t be open up for another hour or two.`

This, this, this, this was easier. Focusing on someone else, taking their burdens–things Minako could focus on, rather than turning that inward. Anything to shake the oncoming train-wreck-roar of Thanatos and Orpheus from the back of her skull.

‘How’s your head?’ Minako leaned forward, one arm slipping around Shouko’s shoulders to hug her from the side, brows furrowed. ‘Do you need anything else, Shouchi?’

   The relief that cascaded over Shouko was almost instant when her gaze focused on her best friend’s face. It was like she had released the breath she hadn’t known she’d been holding, like her body could talk itself just a little further off the edge she was teetering on. Gently, as if she were afraid she would drop it, Shouko took the cool can in her hands. 

   She tried not to focus on her hands too much. She’d washed them, scrubbed them as much as she could, but beneath her fingernails and in the dips between her fingers she knew there was still blood. Even worse, she knew who it belonged to, and her stomach lurched in protest. 

   Don’t think too much, Shouko. Don’t think.

   The eighteen year old did her best to offer a soft smile, though it came off much more weak and worn than she had probably meant for it to. ‘Thank you, Miko,’ She signed, and cracked open the can -- though she didn’t make any motion to sip from it. Not yet. Instead, she felt the way it fizzed from the outside of the tin and tried to focus on it. Tried to focus on anything else. ‘That’s okay,’ She waved it off. ‘I’m not hungry. Have you eaten, though?’

   Shouko’s body tensed momentarily from the touch, even though she had been expecting and open to it. But just as easily as she had done so, the girl relaxed into her best friend’s side, breathing in her scent and the calmness it provided. ‘It’s okay,’ She replied, because it was, at least for now. The ache was there but it was dull enough to ignore. Shaking her head, Shouko lifted her fingers to Minako’s line of sight. ‘Are you okay?’

   It was cold in the Summerfield Clinic waiting room. It was freezing, even. Shouko absently wondered if the air conditioner was running, but for once in her life she was grateful she couldn’t hear it. She was grateful she couldn’t hear anything at all. Her body ached lowly, but the rest of her was numb. Her mind was numb. Hazel eyes stared blankly down at her bare feet, socks stained with dirt and worn from the rocks outside of the Rosewood dorms. Thin arms crossed over her stomach, almost as if the deaf girl was trying to close in on herself.

   Perhaps she was. This was her fault, after all.

   As most things were. 

   It hadn’t taken the ambulance long to arrive, and Shouko had only known by the blinding lights illuminating the entire street outside. She hadn’t needed to go, really, she was probably fine. Minato was the one in danger. But nevertheless, here is where she had ended up. They tended to her gently, cleaning the wound on her temple and covering it with a bandage and any scraped and bruises she had managed to get in the struggle. They’d asked her questions, she was sure, but she couldn’t have answered even if she wanted to. Now all she could do was wait. And think. And think some more. So much thinking, so much twisting in her gut as she sat in a silent numbness, praying for any news on her friend’s condition. 

   A tap on her shoulder and Shouko lurched foreward, body on high alert and mind racing as she spun her head. Calm down! She scolded herself. You are fine. This is fine. Lifting her hands, she signed shakily. ‘I’m sorry, were you talking to me?’

Can You Hear Me? || Shouko & Minato (event)

@caerulaluna​ needs a starter!

   If someone had asked Shouko three months ago if she saw herself making so many amazing friends after being ripped away from the ones she already had, she would have shaken her head, maybe laughed. She’d always been social, sure, but making friends hadn’t always been a strength of hers. However, now here she sat with Minato at her table in the small space of her dorm room, perfectly content. They’d become close rather fast after their first sign language study session together, and Shouko’s heart soared at the thought. It soared even higher knowing she had two other wonderful people waiting for them soon -- a group of people who loved her for who she was, loved her in spite of who she was.

   Flipping her binder closed, Shouko beamed at the boy across from her and signed to him, careful not to go beyond any they had covered in their lessons. ‘You did great today! You’re such a quick learner. I am impressed! Miko will be thrilled!’ As if on cue, three quick flashes blared from her phone to alert her of a text, and a faint blush coated her cheeks. Flashing it to him, she smiled. ‘That’s her now. They’re on their way to the meeting spot.’

Through My Eyes || Miyuki & Shouko

@coolestcatcher needs a starter!

   Surprising even herself, school for Shouko at Rosewood college was about as normal as it was for every other unimpaired student. Other than her five minute extra buffer for testing days and being sent the notes from class digitally incase there was ever a point she wasn’t able to distinguish what the professor was saying, she was able to slip by as your average college girl. However, as she packed up her supplies for her Art 101 class with the instruction to meet with her project partner (whom they’d been given beforehand), she found herself slightly nervous. 

   It wasn’t that Shouko was ashamed of her deafness, not at all. She had come to accept it a long time ago. It was more so that when people discovered she was impaired, they tended to treat her differently, as if she were fragile, like she may break at any moment. Well, she rolled her shoulders back and puffed her chest forwards in attempt to generate confidence, she would show this boy she was not fragile. Their project for this partnered ordeal was up to them -- they could choose virtually any medium, but the goal was to capture the “essense” of the other, and she intended to show him exactly what hers was. Strolling over to the other with her backpack slung across her shoulders and her phone already opened to her notes app, offering him a small, polite wave. She could have opened with the admission of her condition, but a part of Shouko wanted to be normal for a little while longer.

a slightly altered timeline.   send me  ‘ timeline ’  and a number and i will tell you how my muse and their life would have turned out in a life slightly altered compared to their canon one—same universe, but where something little, or something big, went differently.

the timeline in which they live an ideal life, had no opportunities taken from them, were subjected to nothing terrible, where they grew up to fulfil their full potential.

the timeline in which they never met who would become the most influential or important person in their life, or that person was taken from them before they were capable of forming memories.

the timeline in which something important to them happened in a different stage of life.

the timeline in which they knew beforehand of something they would have prevented if given the chance.

the timeline in which they continue on from the current point in their lives to the best happy ending that is within their reach, where nothing that has happened so far is negated but from now on, the happy things start piling up.

the timeline in which everything that could go wrong from this point on… does.

the timeline in which they never experience the loss that taught them something important.

the timeline in which they gain everything they want, except for the thing they wanted the most.

the timeline in which they live the life they currently see the most likely for them.

the timeline in which something big to them never happened.

the timeline in which something very little happened differently, but it changed a lot.

the timeline in which they had a person in their life when they needed one the most.

the timeline in which instead of the most influential person in their life, they had a person who had the complete opposite effect on them.

the timeline in which they took a chance they didn’t in canon.

the timeline in which they let a chance go by.
