Fucking something about water idk // Fuck you Justine

When the trial ended all Mizuki wanted to do was go to bed.This place was starting to but him so badly he didn’t even have the energy to joke about it anymore. He just wanted to sleep. Sleep until it was all over, then he could move on and forget it all. Just deny it and forget it like every other shitty thing in his life.

Even so, instead of heading straight for his room Mizuki left the hotel. He didn’t even notice at first it was just a sort of unconcious thing. He had apparently grown accustomed to a pattern, and before he even realized what he was doing he was waiting by the pool side. Waiting for what, thought?

[shslunfortunate]

Most trials left her feeling a lot of things. Exhausted in every sense of the word, usually. Sad, tired, confused. This time. She felt nothing. As if she had used up her lifetime of emotions all in the past couple weeks.

With no real sense of direction or reason her feet began moving, one in front of the other. It wasn’t until the light reflecting from the waters surface hit her eye that she realized where she stood. The pool. Oddly, she wasn’t all that in the mood for a swimming lesson. She raised her head slowly and met eyes with her swim instructor. Why was he here?Slowly she dragged her feet over to where he stood. She wasn’t all too sure what to say. So instead, she just waved.

She gave a sniffle. “Mi-..zuki?” she looked at him, her voice portraying a mix of curiosity and concern. Was he really so angry? Or was it perhaps her imagination. Well either way, she didn’t really do anything wrong so it’s not as if she had anything to apologize for.

She used her free hand to wipe away the tears still lingering on her cheeks. “Don’t need to….it’s fine,” she said, though she didn’t pull her hand from his grip just yet.

[shslblueaqua]

“No, it’s not fine you idiot. Besides even if it was you can’t just go bleeding all over anything. Hasn’t anyone ever taught you better.” His words were harsh, but his tone was like he was talking to a disobedient child. Chiding and a bit condescending. Like the person listening didn’t even have the capacity to understand the words.

He continued to lead her on in silence until they reached his room, where he sat her down on some chair and started looking through drawers for any sort of first aid material, mumbling to himself.

[shslunfortunate]

She shook her head in response, taking his question a little too literally. His condescending tone made her feel more guilt than anything. Now feeling more like a child that had stolen a cookie from the cookie jar she hung her head and muttered an apology.

As he looked through his things she looked in the opposite direction. Almost as if scared that even the smallest action on her part might earn her another scolding.

Drenched // Closed for Koyuki

Mamo tried very hard not to think about the things he had seen in the last few weeks. He really should think about them though. People were dead and it’s not like they could just turn away and pretend they weren’t. Ignoring it made him feel awful, but lamenting in it made him feel even more awful.

So for now he pushed it aside and focused his energy on the task at hand. Which at this moment was packing as much as he could from his room into his messenger bag. He didn’t really prioritize one thing over the other, at the moment all he was thinking was “is this mine?”. If the answer was yes then it went in the bag. When nothing else would fit inside his exited the room, struggling to carry his luggage. 

He reached his destination and knocked on the door, rapidly and loudly. Usually he would not have knocked so impolitely, but his knees were trembling and not even for the normal reason.

[shslunfortunate]

The frantic knocking doesn’t particularly spur her to action. As slow as ever she makes for a leisurely pace to the door and it’s only when she sees the shaking boy before her does she feel any sort of panic.

The heavy luggage is the first thing she does to help him, noticing it’s burden on the smaller body she takes it on herself. Then without so much as  a word she leans down and sweeps her arm under into his knees before pulling him up, essentially forcing him to sit on her shoulder before she walked into her room toting both him and his bag.

After setting both on her bed she sat beside him and signed. “Are you ok? What happened?”

The allusion to the previous trial didn’t register at first. Her mind is too busy assessing the cut on her arm. It didn’t really look all that bad to her. She’s had worse for sure and even those barely perturbed her. “Don’t need one,” She held up her arm to him as if to prove it. “Doesn’t hurt. Don’t need ru-….” She trailed off as the weight of those words finally hit her, and slowly her arms falls back to her side.

She hangs her head as tears fall from her eyes and hit the pavement “Sorry…reminded you of something bad…”

[shslblueaqua]

He’s not paying attention again, or at least that’s what it seems like since he essentially ignores everything she said or did. Mizuki doesn’t even react to the tears running down her face.

Instead he just grabs Koyuki by the wrist, harder than needed, and starts pulling her along.

“Come on, there’s probably first aid stuff in the hotel rooms.” There’s an edge to his voice now, and not a sad one or a funny one.

[shslunfortunate]

She gave a sniffle. “Mi-..zuki?” she looked at him, her voice portraying a mix of curiosity and concern. Was he really so angry? Or was it perhaps her imagination. Well either way, she didn’t really do anything wrong so it’s not as if she had anything to apologize for.

Wait. “Wha-? No..I…”

While he’s checking out her wound she was studying his face. If she hadn’t known any better she would’ve assumed today had been any other day for him. That they hadn’t just witnessed the second murder or seen the fourth dead body in the past 2 weeks. Was he really ok?

The thought is pushed aside once she feels a finger pressed against her skin. “Oh…” brows furrow as she lays eyes on the wound for the first time. “Didn’t notice,”

The pressure he applied more made her curious than anything. “What…are you doing?”

[shslblueaqua]

He’s not even really paying attention to her for the most part, he kept himself fixated on the mishap before him that was oozing blood. He only looked up her when she asked him what he was doing, to which he raised an eyebrow. Expression half confused and half amused. He always looked just a little bit amused.

“Uhh, I’m making sure you’re okay?” He let go of her arm. “I don’t know if it’s infected, but you definitely need a bandage. Though we should probably clean it out just to be sure. Do you know where we could find some….” He trailed off a bit. “Rubbing…Alcohol..?” fixed his gaze to the ground, and gave a small, quiet laugh.

“Mizuki…” She’s quick to get up and ‘attempt’ to run towards him. Pretend I made a witty joke here about running by the pool and falling, cause she fucking did.

A new scrape painted her arm in an alarming red against the snow white backdrop, though it was barely noticably along side the countless cuts of the same caliber. Without missing a beat she’s already on her feet and walking towards him. “You ok…?” she asked him,

“Worried…” She reached her arm out to tug on his sleeve, not really paying mind to any small drops of blood that stained his shirt.

[shslblueaqua]

He winced visibly at Koyuki’s stumble. Yikes. Maybe that should have been his first lesson for her instead of breathing. No running by the pool.

When she tugged at his sleeve he pulled back, just a bit. Enough to get out of her grasp so he could take her arm instead.

“Worried? About what? A possible blood infection? Hey don’t worry it’s okay Mizuki is on this.” He checked out the wound. It sure was sure was bleeding a lot, that was a nasty fall. He took two fingers and put a bit of pressure on the area around the cut, mostly to see how bad it hurt, and partly for fun.

[shslunfortunate]

Wait. “Wha-? No..I...”

While he’s checking out her wound she was studying his face. If she hadn’t known any better she would’ve assumed today had been any other day for him. That they hadn’t just witnessed the second murder or seen the fourth dead body in the past 2 weeks. Was he really ok?

“Hey if we spent our time weeping for everyone who died we’d be wasting a lot of time.”

That’s what Mizuki had said during the trial. He hadn’t wept a single tear for any of the dead so far, so why start now right?

He stepped out the front doors of the hotel, but there was no cool night breeze to greet him. Just the stagnant circulated air of the dome. Mizuki wanted to say it was late, but he had literally no idea. It always looked like night here, he doubted the time on his phone was accurate, and he hadn’t bothered to find away to figure out the way time is measured here. It wouldn’t even be the same as earth time right? And even if it was what timezone did it go by…

He stretched his arms above his head and turning his head to the side he noticed a figure sitting by the edge of the pool, shadows cast over their form by the underwater lights.

Curious, tired, bored, whatever the reason Mizuki decided to check it out. It wasn’t long before he recognized the silhouette. 

“Yo! Koyuki!” He called from across the way.

[shslunfortunate]

“Mizuki...” She’s quick to get up and ‘attempt’ to run towards him. Pretend I made a witty joke here about running by the pool and falling, cause she fucking did.

There were a lot of things that she didn’t expect to see at the trial. She she didn’t expect the culprit to confess and she definitely didn’t expect it to be Atsuya who had seemed so nice. Most of all she she didn’t expect Mizuki to actually care. Maybe care was too strong a word, but he definitely hadn’t been as unsympathetic as he had been to the past 3 deaths.

It made her a little worried so she decided to wait by the pool. He liked swimming right? He might come here to cool down. While she waited she dipped her feet into the water and made small splashes in the pool.

She wanted to say something to him. What, she hadn’t exactly planned out but she had never planned a single thing out in her life and she wasn’t about to start now.

She gave herself a mental pat on the back. He said she was doing well! It seemed she had forgotten that all they had done so far was blow bubbles.

She allows him to guide her and observes his actions carefully before copying them once she had recited the phrase.

[shslblueaqua]

Still guiding her along her recited the next phrase. “Motorboat, motorboat, go real fast.” He repeated the same action from before but this time went faster as he spun. 

Now this next part was the best, though Mizuki thought he’d probably to have to change it a bit or else there was a possibility koyuki wouldn’t follow the cue.

So he spoke the next verse with a smirk on his lips, “Motorboat, motorboat, have a big crash!” before pushing Koyuki backwards into the water.

[shslunfortunate]

The push doesn’t catch her by surprise, she sees the hands coming a second before makes contact with her chest, but she does nothing to stop it. There was nothing but water around her to soften her fall. It didn’t make sense go through the trouble of stopping him.

She takes a moment to wipe the water from her eyes, before looking at him and stating simply. “Fun...”

[shslblueaqua]

[shslunfortunate]

She does actually consider taking him up on that offer before copying his movements once more. Koyuki would make sure to ask him some other time. For now she would just concentrate on the lesson. In truth it’s not like she was against it. She actually preferred this slow pace, it almost matched her own exactly. She just happened to be curious as to how blowing bubbles would her teach her how to propel herself through the water.

Suddenly in the middle of this little ‘practice’ session a thought occurs to her. “What’s motorboat?”

[shslblueaqua]

Aha! That was basically a complete statement. Perhaps the caveman could be taught after all. Mizuki was such a great teacher, they should award him a nobel prize or something. For bridging the gap between humans and the missing link.

“Well, since you’re doing so well I guess I’ll show you.”

He walked around in a circle, keeping hold of Koyuki’s hands, pulling her along with him. Then in a tone only a kindergarten teacher would use began reciting. “Motorboat, motorboat, go real slow.” After he finished the line he blew bubbles like he had been showing her.

[shslunfortunate]

Eyebrows furrow. Wasn’t he supposed to teach her swimming? There’s a moment where she considers arguing this point but ultimately gives in to his request. It’s simple enough. She puts her head down and exhales through her nose, bubbles rise around her face for a moment before she lifts her head for another breath. 

Wet hair hangs around her, obscuring her view. Though she can see enough of him from one eye  to warrant not moving her hair out of the way. 

“Why…breathing?”

[shslblueaqua]

Mizuki couldn’t help but flinch at her appearance removing her head from the water. She looked like the grudge, though surprisingly he didn’t mention that. Instead he continued with his swimming lesson. Because swimming is very important.

He raised an eyebrow at her question and kind of smirked.

“Listen here, I spent every day of the week swimming in a tank that’s 530 ft long and 50 ft deep with animals that are 18 ft long and weigh 5,000 lbs . You didn’t even know to take your clothes off before you got in the pool. Are you really gonna question me. Are you really? Now do it again.”

He repeated the bubble blowing.

“If you’re good we can play motorboat.”

Another laugh pushed its way through Mizuki’s lips when Koyuki entered the pool fully clothed. He maybe would have thought she was just a prude, if she hadn’t realized her mistake and removed them after. What was with this chick? His caveman theory was becoming more and more solid by the minute. Well, whatever she was, she sure as hell wasn’t boring.

Mizuki managed to stop his cackling and compose himself. He then took Koyuki’s hands lightly in his own, guiding her the same way he would as if she were a small child.

“Okay, I don’t know your level and I doubt you could tell me so let’s just start at the beginning. Which is breathing.”

He dipped the lower half of his face into the water and blew bubbles near the surface. He raised his slightly and looked back at the girl. “Now you try.”

[shslunfortunate]

“Why...breathing?”

[shslblueaqua]

Mizuki snickered. What was with the way this girl spoke? Was she frozen in a block of ice for five million years? He hummed in thought, like she was speaking in some weird foreign language and he needed time to translate.

“Yes. Swim fun. It good.” Now he laughed. It was a real laugh this time. Nothing to cheer him up like making a joke at someone else’s expense. 

He stood up, still laughing a little bit at his own humor. This girl seemed chill right? He could continue on with his original plan and she’d be okay with it, right? Though it’s not like it mattered, if she wanted to leave she could leave. He wasn’t keeping her here. He finished removing his clothes and took a running jump into the pool.

When he surfaced, he waded back over to where Koyuki was. Rubbing the water form his face he looked up at her. “I could teach you how to swim, y’know.”

[shslunfortunate]

She watches him jump in, calm countenance never broken for a second.  What a weirdo.

She considers his offer for a moment. In truth she hadn’t the least interest in swimming but the alternative was becoming depressed in her room. That made the choice rather easy for her. 

So without a second thought she slips in....only to realize a rather large miscalculation on her part a second later. She presses her fist to her lips in thought; takes a look at Mizuki then back down at her. 

Well this was a problem. 

She shrugs. Ah well. She strips down to an undershirt and a pair of shorts that were underneath her skirt. The excess clothing sinks to the bottom which she doesn’t spare a second glance.

“How...swim?” She continues speaking at her own pace and in her own way, paying no mind to his earlier jeers. After all her way of speaking was much more efficient.

Mizuki stared at the girl now next to him, tears still rimming her eyes, and nodded slowly. This kid’s name was Koyuki right? When he had seen her earlier she seemed very distant, a little bit scary. Now she seemed so fragile, like a small gust of wind might blow her back at any moment and she would shatter. At this moment he was glad that they were under a glass dome on the moon, so that wouldn’t happen.

He scratched his cheek, still just still just staring at her. He hadn’t really expected anyone to come here, so he didn’t have any witty banter prepared. He was also too tired to come up with any. So for a change of pace he was just honest.

“Yeah, I’m swimming but I was planning on skinny dipping. Any chance you would join me on that one?” He laughed, but it was a tired and empty laugh,

[shslunfortunate]

In truth she had been trying to find a place where she could be alone, but in a way this might’ve been for the better. Talking with someone was a good distraction which she kind of needed at the moment.

“Can’t swim,” she replied eyes now gazing towards the water. “Could take off clothes.....hmm” she paused as if genuinely thinking about it before ultimately deciding. “Too cold...” 

She dipped two fingers into the water surface and made small lazy circles. “Swimming...fun?” she asked. “Good at it...?” In one swift movement she moved her fingers in one straight line towards the other boy, causing a small splash to his his legs. 

[shslblueaqua]

Reflection // 3rror Open

Mizuki sat by the edge of the pool, shoes on the ground beside him, and feet dipped into the water. He rubbed the back of his neck, sighing. That trial had been really tiring, mostly because it was boring…That was probably a rude thing to think, he was bored by someone’s murder but hey, there was a reason he had to make every quip he could.

Today had sapped his energy, but he was pretty sure he could bounce back by tomorrow if he could just do something fun. 

So here he was, at the pool. He didn’t want to bother going back to his room to grab his swimsuit, but that wasn’t a huge problem for him.

He started taking off his shirt when he heard approaching footsteps.

[shslunfortunate]

It had only been after the trials end that the full weight of what had happened hit her. She hadn’t even really known the guy, never even spoken a word to him but the fact he had sacrificed himself just so they wouldn’t die....

She shook her head. The sight of him falling to his death, she couldn’t get it out of her mind. She needed to clear her head, look up at the stars, and maybe then she might be able to stop shaking. She didn’t really have a specific place in mind for stargazing, she just sort of let her feet take her wherever.

Wherever ended up being at a poolside. Perhaps seeing her situation, being at a poolside when she couldn’t swim wasn’t the best idea but then again she was never a particularly smart girl.

It’s the sound of water splashing that finally takes her out of her thoughts and when she turns her head to get her bearings, she’s greeted to the sight of a shirtless Mizuki.

“Oh...” She doesn’t really look away. Doesn’t really care either. Not that he was shirtless nor that he was seeing her in such a state. Instead she kneels next to him, feet flat against the concrete. “Swimming...?” she asks softly, eyes now inquisitive rather than sorrowful though she still looked a mess. She hadn’t even bothered wiping her eyes. For the moment it seems her concentration had completely shifted from the earlier sight to the boy in front of her.
