ミズキ by ララム
The irony of his thoughts are that they mirrored Aoba`s so poignantly that it was eerie. The one who had been nearly killed, almost rendered completely comatose was…
"What the hell are you talking about, Mizuki? Did you hit your head again or…” Maybe that was a little rude, but they were both used to it with each other. Nonetheless, he was really making him nervous. Last time he checked, when he left Midorijima he was completely healthy. It`s not like this whole Hive City experience just some dream or something, right? He took in a deep breath, furrowing his brow slightly as he regarded his friend with measured words. "I mean…the one who was in the hospital was…you, Mizuki."
[ Sure, Mizuki had no idea what kind of pranks Hive City could pull on them, and even worse was really how he had no idea he had fallen on one. So Aoba's statement makes me even more confused. He had no need to lie to him, he clearly knows his last memory was knowing he was in a coma, right? Or was he saying something weird?
His expression bothers him tho, and it's then when he says those last words and it hits him. When did he ever get in the hospital? ]
H-Hey Aoba, this is no time for jokes, what the hell are you talking ab--
[ He stops in the middle of the sentence to realize Aoba was serious. He could tell by his expression and how he told him that, as if he was trying to pick the right words to tell him the truth.
The ribster simply can't help but feel nervous and anxious, and he tries to comfort himself by crossing his arms and tapping his fingers against them in a rhythmic way to relieve the stress and find a way to think straight. ]
What's the last thing you remember?
dramaticalbooty replied to your post: ...
"Of course I mean it, you dummy! We`ve known each other for years and years." He`s glad to have a friend here in this strange place. "You`re looking at me kinda funny though…"
Huh? Uhh...
[ He breaks in a cold sweat, with hesitation in his speech and he quietly turns his look back to him. He's really there, standing and healthy! He's so glad he's back to normal, but he's acting like nothing happened? He can't help but have his mind evaded with question marks. ]
You see, I wasn't expecting for you to be here already. I mean, of course I'm happy you're back again, but... When did you wake up? What did the doctors said about what happened? Are you absolutely alright?
your tattoos are super cool! so cool they bring a tear to my eye, even
Oh, thank y--
[ It's the tear tattoo joke again. Well, the place he was stuck was really different compared to Midorijima, so he guessed he would get teased about it much more often than back home.
Okay, he ends up laughing again because the joke is still not overused. ]
Alright, now sincerely, thank you. I'm glad you like them, I came up with the designs myself.
Mizuki san's eyes are an ocean! Mizuki san's chest is also an ocean!
Ah, t-thank you Clear--
[ He replies with an insecure voice, biting his lip and forming a frown while looking down. D-Did he mean that as his chest being big...? Was he getting fat? Or stronger? W-What did he mean with that?
#DISTRESS ]
...I guess.
there`s no reason to cry when you make me smile! [ he`s talking about your tattoo mizuki. sorry your bff is nerd ]
..
Haha, okay, I get it now! That was really funny! [ He gives a light tap on Aoba's shoulder, laughing. ] But I hope you actually mean that because you make me smile too!
[ And your bff can say lame things sometimes, so they're even.
...Or at least that's he wish he could say so directly. It was just his imagination talking for him, probably. He'll just look away because you're supposed to be in a coma and wait for the next time he turns to your direction you're not there anymore. He's totally imagining things. ]
Give my muse a compliment that would catch them off-guard.
fun fact~
Every once in a while Mizuki throws a party in his shop for his team. He ends up inviting Aoba and Benishigure to join them as well and the friendly atmosphere hangs in the until the very end of the party and he's always sure everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves. Mizuki particularly finds the need to do these to keep everyone happy and remind they're not simply a team, but also friends.
Dry Juice is like a family to him and he would do anything to keep them together.
"Mizuki…"
Not only had he not realized that the other had even arrived in Hive City.. He’d been completely unaware of this change. Was it because of what happened before? Morphine..
Or was this some kind of joke? Ah. It was kind of cruel..
"Oi.. Come on, you can’t be serious."
Huh?
[ Mizuki stares with a confused look, raising an eyebrow. Well, he knew Koujaku wasn't a fan of Rhyme such as he wasn't a fan of Rib, but he never cared as much when it came from Koujaku since they knew each other before Rhyme was even a thing through Aoba. ]
But I /am/ serious. I know you're really strong and a successful ribster, but you know that won't last long! I mean, it's probably impossible for us to try Rhyme here, but I could teach you the basics.
fun fact!
While most people that get into Rib end up having a cocky and rude personality and gang up to beat people without Rib teams, Mizuki always kept his cool and kind personality. He’s known for being respected by mostly everyone and has a great reputation and caring for his team, Dry Juice, of which he’s leader of.
While he did reckless things in the past, those didn’t influence his future, making him who is today.
stupidsexykoujaku replied to your post: You believe that Rhyme is better that Rib!
… nn
Oh, hey Koujaku! Please don't take me wrong, you're part of the exceptions and I don't think ill of you, but you know my opinion on Rib is really poor! You should really try Rhyme one day, really! I could teach you. I'm sure you'd be really strong.
Leave the words 'Fun fact' in my ask box and I'll reveal something about my character you might not have known about.

UHM RHYME IS NOT BETTER THAN RIB YOU CAN EAT RIBS WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE
ikanotbelieve replied to your post: You believe that Rhyme is better that Rib!
MEOW A??Q?Q?
Haha sure, yes, meow for you too. [ Pats head. ] It's okay, those ribs are actually good, I won't fight you over that. If you love ribs so much I can take you to eat them one day! It's on me!
You believe that Rhyme is better that Rib!
Well, surely Rhyme is better than Rib, who would even doubt that? I moved to Rhyme as soon as it started being a thing! The battles are so modern and it's really exciting. I usually hardly break a sweat, so you could say I'm pretty good, besides being the leader of one of the most powerful teams, that is.
I feel bad for those that keep in Rib to be honest? They won't accomplish anything and soon everyone will leave it. Why cling to something so old? Except for one or two people, they're mostly weakling trying to own the place. They're usually a bunch of cocky and rude guys after self-accomplishment by beating people.
Rib should just stop existing. I can't even believe I used to like that.
AOBA IS IN A COMA
[ Tongue click. ]
I keep making the wrong decisions, huh? No one besides me were supposed to be involved. I just wish I could have stopped this from happening.
I hope he's back soon. I want to tell him I'm sorry...
The next 2 statements in my askbox are truths my muse will believe in for 24 hours
ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅɴ'ᴛ sᴛᴏᴘ ɪᴛ [closed]
If he closed his eyes and tune into the hum of machinery inside the shop, Aoba could easily pretend he was home.
Ever since he had set up the Junk Shop, Hive City felt a little more like home. He already had a collection of familiar faces from back home as well. It was only the backdrop had changed. And the claustrophobic reality of being a rat in a cage, his every move being watched. Yeah, wasn`t that nice? To be frank, it wasn`t a gigantic leap from what he was supposed to be doing back home. Going inside of Platinum Jail where someone had plans to take over the island and maybe even the world or something crazy and convoluted like that. The problem here, however, was that he could do absolutely nothing. Back in Midorijima, he was the fighting chance. And now, stuck here and stripped of his meager capabilities that he had only just discovered, there wasn`t much he could do. Putting a hand to his throat, it made him think of just how much he had used his power since he came here. His headaches were bothering him still, but as of late…they seemed to be sparse until he invoked Scrap. And then the pounding was merciless. He had been afraid to even tap into that power again ever since a certain incident.
If you had said the right things then, you could have saved him…
Aoba buried his face in his hands with a frustrated breath, leaning over the counter and wishing for the day to just be over. He didn`t want to think about this anymore, but the truth was…it crossed his mind often. He had left home. He`d left him there, the consequences of his actions. Making up his mind, Aoba steeled himself and leaped over the counter with a sense of determination. He would close up and go home, forget all about this little visit to the past. This was the present, after all! It was almost laughable (if you had a sick sense of humour, that is) that not a second later did he discover that the consequences of his actions were looking right at him as he turned around. His lips parted with a silent ‘oh’ when hazel locked onto green, a chill crawling down his spine. It was like seeing a ghost, even someone who was supposed to be dead, as grim as that was. When he looked away, Aoba felt a pained laugh bubble in his chest, but he still remained silent. It was painfully obvious why Mizuki couldn`t look at him. Even Aoba was having trouble maintaining his gaze after they locked eyes for a split second before parting, felt the pang of remorse so palpably that his hands clenched — ah, they were clammy, too. After a moment, he could breathe, and with a puff of air, words finally tumbled out.
"…You`re okay." And he meant it, he honestly looked healthy and alright. As opposed to the messy sight they were both exposed to before they both came here. The strange flashbacks from then felt like watching an old film, vaguely, rather than experiencing his memories. Being in the city for this long made him that way, he supposed. "The last time I heard about you, you weren`t even awake. But you`re here now. I`m glad…" Trying to loosen up a little, but with little avail, did he try to talk as casually as they used to. They were best friends. But…this was difficult when there was an elephant in the room just waiting to be addressed. "Are you really okay? …I wish we didn`t have to meet again here of all places. It`s just too cruel, isn`t it?" It was a bit difficult to talk, however, with a lump forming in his throat. It prevented him from saying the words that had instantly jumped into his mind the second he saw those green eyes. I`m so sorry.
[ Just the moment he first hears his voice, the ribster ends up not being able to look away anymore and he just observes Aoba's every little movement. He could easily read him. The hesitation, the way his voice almost cracked and how he was actually trying to keep his composure in front of him, from all people. He knew little of what happened after he collapsed, but even so, he couldn't be surprised at his words. He couldn't be worried about himself now, either. He was done with selfishness and hurting people around him. Guiltiness would eat him up often and he was ashamed of falling like a little rat in a mousetrap like he fell onto Morphine's trap. Was he even worth of being forgiven? Because he knows how the person in front of him thinks too much about things, sometimes even letting it eat him up, and he's absolutely sure he was the one feeling guilty in the moment, when Mizuki was far from feeling any kind of remorse or grudge for him.
His friendship has always meant a lot to him and even though Aoba would refuse to join his rib team, which meant almost the world (which ends up as Mizuki wanting Aoba to be part of what he would call his family), he never resented him for that. And even so, he said all those horrible and heartless things to him, even without meaning them. He almost hurt the only actually family the male has. How could he be the one to feel guilty? And even so, he knows that's exactly how Aoba is. Because that has always been how close they were and how much they knew each other.
And even so, just forming words to come out of his mouth was difficult. Lying was impossible now too. Hiding his feelings and how he felt would be completely pointless and they wouldn't get out of that place. It was unfair. It was unfair how he had to make him feel that way all this time when he was the one who made the wrong choice. There was too much to say and he didn't even know how to start. ]
I'm fine.
[ And for another brief seconds, that feels almost like eternity for him, he loses his courage for a little bit and isn't able to face him again. There's quite the distance between them and there's nothing more than awkward silence. He crosses his arms, swallowing his pride once more and looks into those yellowish brown eyes. If he had to be honest, he wasn't sure what to exactly say, but he had to try. He had to say something and turning his feelings into words. ]
Look, Aoba... [ He takes a small breath before speaking again, as if to calm himself down. That situation was actually more nerve wrecking than he was expecting. He really wished they could have met in different circumstances. ] I'm... really sorry about what happened. I should have talked to you and told you what happened right in the start. I think most of what I feel you already know, somehow. It's... really blurry in my mind but I know you know my true feelings. The last thing I remember is almost feeling my head explode, or something... I don't know.
[ Sigh. ]
But that's not the point. I'm really sorry what I did to your grandmother and I'm sorry I hurt her and I hurt you too. I... didn't want to worry anyone and I tried to do everything by myself and in the end I ended up hurting everyone...
[ Even at this point, Mizuki's voice cracks a little. The same feelings from that time end up holding him again. The feeling of feeling miserable, of being eaten by his mistakes... Even he couldn't help how negative he was about the whole situation. Slowly his face just starts dropping while he keeps trying to hold back the clear weakness of his voice and expression. ]
I'm not hoping for you to understand. I'm not hoping for you to forgive me. I really regret what I did and I know I lost important people after this. I'm... just really sorry about everything. And I understand if you don't want to look at my face again because even so... You ask how I am and you care about me. And I feel like I don't deserve it. And... I'm really sorry, Aoba. I really wish I could go back and change everything.
[ While he would say this, he knew deep down what he really wanted was for Aoba to forgive him. But it was so difficult to say it... With his body trembling while gripping onto his own arms tightly, he tries to compose himself but in almost complete vain, as his hands keep shaking as if his body was trying to find a way to relieve the stress in one go. ]
Just, please, don't feel bad because there's nothing for you to have the fault of. I must take responsibility and pay the prize of the consequence of my actions.
