"That is extremely robophobic!"
✦— ❝Precisely! The probability of having rolled my head down the vent chute to steer the shot put ball and KILL Amami-san is not only impossible, but also runs on the assumption that my head must be detachable sorely because I am a robot! How robophobic... and primitive!❞

– Despite how he’s been insulted just now, it was funny, almost. Well, he’s going to be a bit merciful for a bit now and things hopefully wouldn’t get too heated between the both of them, well that’s what he hoped anyway.
“ Hmm…. Y-yeah? " Seiji responded as his pale eyes looked at the direction his thumb pointed at. A cafe sounded nice and ideal, actually, and he had no issues going there for a bit. It would be nice to stop by and drink something.
” Sounds like a g-good idea, we c-can refresh o-ourselves too until that d-damn bus arrives. We m-might have m-missed our bus but….Eh… “ Sighing lightly, he wasn’t sure if he should take the lead or not, either way, he’ll wait a moment or two before he’d walk. –
If we missed the bus, I’ll never hear the end of it...
Perhaps Tetsuya’s silence lasted a touch too long for the typical person’s taste, but the anger stewing inside him was no laughing matter. Better internalize it for now--only thing holding him back being he couldn’t punch straight.
⊘— ❝C-Come on, then... Keeping me waiting will have consequences.❞
He turns on his heel, leads Seiji onward towards the welcoming glow of the late-night cafe, shoulders visibly sagging from their spiked position as the familiar bell chimed overhead when they entered.
“Ah, Tachibana-kun~ I was beginning to think you’d skip out today--” a faceless maid greeted, giving the common courtesy service bow.
How often does he go here?
THAT IS EXTREMELY ROBOPHOBIC!
✦— ❝Absolutely! If my feet could become rocket boots without so much as a vocal command, we would no longer be trapped in this awful place... Assuming that I can and simply choose not to is truly robophobic!❞

Send me “DOWNPOUR” for my muse to show up on your muse’s doorstep during a rainstorm, drenched and shaking from the cold.

– " And wh-what are you g-going to do? G-Give me a c-cold? “
Seiji teased, giggling at the sight. God, it was so amusing to see him deny that he’s cold and possibly even getting sick. Well, then again, he would do the same as well. The public transits were terrible, in his opinion, and he’s still getting used to how late they arrive from time to time.
Sighing lightly, he looked around a bit, remaining quiet and waiting a bit more. A part of him still wanted to torment him a bit, just a bit, but he felt like that would be a bit too much.
” …H-Hey, we can w-wait somewhere else until the n-next bus arrives. “ –
⊘— ❝E...Expect more than a cold, asshole--!❞
As feeble as Tetsu was, he couldn’t really expect knocking Seiji out on the first swing, assuming he could do so much as land the hit anyway...
⊘— ❝But, fine. S-See that cafe over there?❞
Tetsu jabs a thumb behind himself without looking, like this wasn’t his first time. Only now he wasn’t on his own, and the place itself looked relatively unassuming, providing a warm respite from the harsh weather conditions.
⊘— ❝We can wait in there. The bus st-stop can be seen perfectly from the front windows--the only reason someone would be sh-shit out of luck is if that bus failed to stop in the first place.❞
“ I swear to god, if I ever run into the guy that made this, I’m going to make him play it. ” [ how did Sei and Tets manage to play a game together is- beyond me kjahsvdbh ]
⊘— ❝This game is awful. I am relieved you find no entertainment value in it. Pick something else.❞
Tetsuya fails to understand how the two of them managed on tolerating each other enough to hang out and play some random low-tier videogame. At least it wasn’t Danganronpa, however. He’ll count his blessings on that one.

– “ Y-You sure about th-that? ”
Tilting his head a bit, he could tell that the other is feeling a bit cold. Well, a bit felt like a huge understatement, considering how his classmate is trembling uncontrollably. It was amusing to see him in this state, actually, but he would get bored quickly and he did felt a bit sorry for him.
Still, he wanted to see how far this could go, but it might not really take long for Seiji to give in and drag him to a warmer place for a bit. –
⊘— ❝I-I-I am more than sure!... H-How long does it take for the damn public transit, anyway?! I-It has one job and it is f-failing spectacularly!❞
Maybe they missed the last bus? Always possible. Clubs took longer than expected that evening, as it so happens. Were there any late night cafes nearby that wouldn’t mind the company of a pair of social rejects? Tetsuya could really get down with some delicious hot tea right about now.
⊘— ❝A-And stop looking at me like that or you’ll regret--❞ Achoo! ❝--It.❞

Trembling uncontrollably from the cold, Tetsuya tries and fails not to let on that he forgot his coat somewhere. Again. Damn thing got left in the classroom like some long-forgotten responsibility he should’ve taken care of ages ago. Does he care? No. Is he going to make an effort and better himself next time? Also no.
