Hinata’s words mostly go right through his ears; he’s busy enjoying the exasperation in the other boy’s tone along the way he still chooses to walk over by his side, even if he doesn’t face him at all. Komaeda knows him enough to know what he looks like when he says this kind of thing.

"Ah~ Glad to see you’re willing to break your routines for my sake. I couldn’t ask for a better partner, could I?"

Of course, it’s all fake sweetness; even the way he tilts his head for Hinata to see his smile, his calloused fingers laced behind his back in such an innocent and girlish way. He almost feels like skipping ahead of the boy, but instead chooses to just give a little step forward, looking back at him expectantly.

"…Now that you’re here, we might as well do this properly. Walk with me, there’s somewhere I’d like to go."

He's very aware Komaeda isn't really paying attention-- and won't bother to, honestly-- so Hinata doesn't bother to get back at him with more snarky commentaries, either. The overly sweet smile only earns another annoyed huff from his part. Sometimes it's a bit sickening, the way Komaeda constantly pulls the innocent act on him.

... The fact the other has a destination actually surprises him, but Hinata only nods before tagging along yet again. He's got nothing to do, anyway, and whatever Komaeda has in mind is probable to provide some sort of entertainment. Maybe.

But because he's still all too human he can't stop the curiosity, and once they've walked in silence for a little while, he asks.

"Where are we going, exactly?" Hinata is still not looking at Komaeda, instead settling for the ruined road ahead of them. "I can't think of anywhere worth visiting in this dumpster."

I saw that another alternate just came into the school, so I thought I’d drop by and say hi. But if you’re gonna be like that, I can just leave.

soradanomii

Hi, then.

You can do as you please, but I don't see what'd be so interesting about talking to yourself.

#lyceenordinaire #hi! sorry this is late ah ;v;)

There’s no need to wait long until he hears a reply; familiar and the smallest bit relieving.

And when he registers the voice, the smallest smile makes way for his expression— Of course, who’d else be able to tag along as easily in such a dump?

"I’m so calm, though. That’s what sets me apart from everyone else, isn’t it?"

After saying so, he turns around to take the hoodie down and regard Hinata with his usual, mocking grin.

"I thought you disliked the streets. Got lonely?"

—No, scratch that. Rather than playful, his whole stance is playful.

soradanomii

The attitude Komaeda greets him with his not surprising in the least. As always, Hinata can't help rolling his eyes-- although... it is a bit nice to find some company in the middle of such a wreck.

"Uh-huh." He limits himself to respond to the playful attitude with a slight frown. "It's very empty without you bugging me all the time, you see."

And now, he does slowly cut the distance there's between them, shoving his hands in his pockets as he walks toward Komaeda.

"I still dislike the city, just so you know." Only when he's by his side is that Hinata talks, eyes still fixated on the ruins around them. "There just wasn't much to do. You ran off, and I thought it'd be okay to go out for once."

"I w-was going to ask i-if I could say hello and see if you were doing alright, b-but if I’m not welcome… That’s okay…! I can… I can leave!"

soradanomii

Well, no. You're most definitely not welcome. I thought that was pretty obvious.

Going through the trouble of coming here just to "say hi" seems pretty stupid, though-- but you don't seem particularly brilliant.

Who are you, anyway?

#thenursewithbandages #(yo!! ^p^)

►;; Apparently, she had snuck upon him. But let’s be honest, she was here the whole time, the only sound that was audible was her game’s points that constantly rose as her electronic’s gun shot at llamas. Her head had looked up after completing the level.

"apologies.. to.. to you’re statement.. but um.." ”.. i’ve been here the whole.. time.. i think.”

soradanomii

... Is that so.

[ ... Whatever the case is, he doesn't seem too happy to see her. In fact, that she's been there far longer than he thought only manages to irk him further.

Great. ]

You still haven't answered my question. If you don't have any business here, you might as well leave.

#gemuhime #(hi hello!)

The city— or the remains of it—, isn’t as noisy as usual. Crowds seem to have dissipated for now; in favor of hiding or raiding elsewhere, most likely, and this is his favorite time of the day.

The scenery is orange and broken, the prototype for his ideal gameboard. He strolls along it, seemingly careless for his heavy and slow steps— Yet he’s vigilant, alert to the smallest abnormality. His hands rest on his pockets, and for once, he wears his hood.

A vacant expression twitches, though, when he feels something waking along with him. Or maybe it’s far away?

All he knows is that he’s not alone.

He comes to a halt.

"…You." He speaks, quiet but firm. Whoever’s there definitely heard.

"I know you’re there. You might as well grace me with your presence before I’m forced to bring you out," He tells the stranger, not bothering to look at them. They don’t deserve as much if they aren’t willing to step out of the shadows. "And I assure you, it won’t be nice for either of us."

He's not exactly fond of walks-- especially in those ruins-- yet, Hinata finds himself outside, going with a slow pace through the deserted streets. If they could be called that at this point.

It's unusually empty, and not long until he recognizes a sole figure, much too familiar, walking merely a few metters ahead of him.

So that's where he went.

The unannounced disappearances Komaeda seems to like so much aren't anything new, and so, Hinata fails to be surprised. He decides to tag along, silent, always keeping a bit of distance-- even if he's sure Komaeda will notice him, probably sooner than later.

And he isn't wrong. Soon, he's speaking with that hostile note in his voice Hinata knows all too well by now, and he too stops walking.
