@bitterfake​       —      from   here .

              ami lifts her head long enough to shoot the other an annoyed , slightly confused glance before looking down once more . it took her a genuine moment to decide whether she actually wanted to respond - couldn’t help but think to herself that the other didn’t look like she had any bite in her entire body . despite not having the energy to put up any kind of facade , she didn’t think it particularly mattered .

            ❝ YOU SAY THAT to the girl crammed between the vending machines in the middle of lecture like i don’t already know that . are you slow or just a complete idiot ? ❞

          AN   EASY   SHRUG   WAS      her   response   to   the   accusation      —      accompanied   by   her   trademark   smile   &&   a   light   giggle .      “      i   get   that   a   lot .      i   think   i   can   be   kind   of   smart   sometimes ,      though .      ”      her   grades   were   decent ,      after   all ,      &&   she   was   at   least   able   to   cook ,      so   it   wasn’t   as   if   she   had   no   redeeming   qualities .      (      at   least ,      that   was   what   she   preferred   to   think .      &&   her   mother   seemed   to   agree .      )

          &&   despite   the   insult   she’d   just   been   dealt ,      she’d   carefully   lower   herself   to   sit   in   front   of   ami      —      whether   she   was   welcome   or   not      —      cracking   open   the   can   of   coffee   she'd   just   purchased   from   one   of   the   machines .      “      you’re   ami ,      right ?      i   heard   you   went   here .      you’re   always   super   cute   in   the   magazines .      ”      a   genuine   smile .      could   tell   the   other   was   unhappy   about   something   but   certainly   didn’t   want   to   be   rude   or   overstep   her   boundaries .      wasn’t   like   she   KNEW   HER   beyond   seeing   her   picture   in   magazines   &&   various   rumors   she’d   overheard   from   other   students .

matsuri‌ ?

          The time until the trip to Japan had been, for the most part, uneventful. Unless one counted Nora’s antics, though as far as Nea was concerned, that was perfectly normal. Her attempt at back-flipping down the stairs, which ended exactly as anyone would expect, was par for the course; she was trying to have fun, and Nea certainly found it funny (at least, once she was sure her friend wasn’t hurt). That was the day before her flight. She’d reached the airport an hour early, not wanting to miss her flight, and brought only what she considered essentials with her. Several sets of clothing, a toothbrush & tube of toothpaste, hairbrush, a few extra hairpins and her dolphin plush, primarily.

          On board the plane, Nea opted to try for a nap. It was a long flight, and sleeping through it was sure to be easier; unfortunately, that wasn’t to be. She heard odd, creepy sounds from the back, where the bathrooms were, and it scared her enough to keep her awake for most of the flight. She spent most of it trying and failing to hide in her seat.

          She did manage to sleep through the tail end of the flight, finally arriving in Tokyo. Upon arrival, Nea found she couldn’t get out of the airport fast enough - there was so much to see, so much to do! She’d come alone this time, but she’d been working on her Japanese, so she hoped she wouldn’t encounter too much trouble. She knew basic terms and phrases, greetings and farewells - she hoped that’d be enough for the time she planned to spend there. Upon exiting the airport, her first goal was simple: explore! She’d been to Tokyo before with her friend, Haru, and she knew well that Tokyo was hard to navigate. So she wanted to roam around, see what happened, what she could find! Opportunity surrounded her, and she didn’t want to waste it.

          As it was a bit chilly due to the wind, she’d donned her hoodie from what little luggage she brought, which remained in her backpack. A bright pink hoodie with the hood down, and a blue fleece shirt, adding to fleece sweatpants - she was making sure she stayed warm. She’d also pulled on her headphones, listening to The Ramones as she roamed, eventually wandering into a market. She still wasn’t entirely paying attention to her surroundings. She’d not noticed the Aihara just yet, more focused on a shop she’d found selling charms; blissfully unaware of the similar appearance she shared with another pinkette - even being similar in height. It seemed a case of mistaken identity would be inevitable.

          SHE   WAS   BEEN   ON   HER   WAY      home   from   school      —      groceries   needed   for   tonight's   dinner   already   purchased .      really ,      it   was   a   normal   day .      maybe   a   little   cool ,      but   the   skies   were   clear   &&   everyone   seemed   to   be   going   about   their   day   in   a   perfectly   ordinary   way .      was   even   hopefully   optimistic   about   her   scores   on   an   exam   she’d   taken   earlier .      so   maybe   that   was   why ,      when   she   noticed   a   familiar - looking   head   of   pink ,      she   wouldn't   even   think   to   question   why   matsuri   would   be   here   as   well .      (      besides ,      that   girl   seemed   to   be   everywhere   yuzu   was .      would   it   really   be   so   unusual   for   her   to   be   at   a   shop   along   a   path   she   knew   yuzu   frequented ?      )

          any   doubt   was   hardly   considered ,      &&   it   was   with   her   characteristic      (      if   perhaps   even   amplified   in   her   good   mood      )      excitement   that   she   would   break   into   a   jog   to   reach   the   familiar   figure      —      called   out   the   girl’s   name   just   as   she   began   to   reach   her ,      despite   being   unsure   if   it   would   reach   her   through   the   music   she   was   most   likely   listening   to .      “      hey ,      matsuri !      ”      then   an   arm   would   wrap   around   the   other’s   small   shoulders .

          that   was   about   when   she   came   to   the   realization   that   whoever   this   look-alike   was ,      it   wasn’t   matsuri     —      recoiled   instantly ,      her   error   written   all   across   her   face ,      immediately   stammering   out   her   apology ,      cheeks   already   beginning   to   grow   red .      "     oh   no      —      i’m   so   sorry      —      i   thought   you   were   my   friend ,      matsuri      —      she   looks   just   like   you .      i   mean ,      you   even   dress   the   same .      ”      she   was   rambling   now      —      words   only   spoken   faster   &&   more   anxiously   as   she   continued .      “      i      —      i   mean   this   isn’t   a   prank   or   anything ,      right ?      that   seems   like   something   she’d   do .      like ,      what’re   the   odds   of   another   girl   being   here   who   looks   &&   dresses   just   like   her ?      but      —      that’d   be   crazy .      she   wouldn’t   do   that .      or      —      i   don’t   know   what   i’m   saying ,      but   PLEASE   forgive   me .      i   really   thought   you   were   my   friend .      i   promise   i’ll   be   more   careful .      ”

edward‌ !

                  WHENEVER edward picked up a book , the world around him would cease to exist ; the only things processing for him were the words he was reading , for the most part . every now &&. then the aroma of his coffee ( or realizing he was getting tired enough to start zoning out ) would entice him away long enough to take just a quick sip , but then it was right back to work .

                 it wasn’t bad , though . he never disliked this sort of thing . tended to get incredibly antsy if he didn’t have his mind occupied - typically with learning , or studying , or coursework . the homework was what he liked least ; he was more than content with absorbing the lessons &&. then doing his own studying , which helped him remember more than any coursework did . 

                but due to his preference for his usual daily routine , a rather sour look would cross his face as a bubbly stranger would all but crash into his personal space . ( she really wasn’t that close - but if he was using a table to study , books , papers &&. various drinks containing caffeine strewn about , anywhere at the table happened to be too close . ) a heavy sigh would leave his lips before anything else .

                 ❝ IF you hadn’t buttered me up by sayin’ a whole buncha people are talkin’ about me , i’d just tell you to get LOST . so you’re pretty lucky , girl . ❞ refrains from using her name even though she’s already given it , &&. doesn’t directly answer her question , either . 

                ❝ I DUNNO if you took a look around – ❞ briefly motions around the table with one hand while a pencil idly twirled in the other , ❝ - but i’m kinda in the middle of somethin’ here . you’re gonna have to offer more than flattery if ya want a favor . i don’t do things for free . ❞

          HE   WASN’T   SAYING   NO      —      that   was   the   first   thing   she   considered   as   he   spoke .      not   that   he’d   said   yes ,      either ,      but   this   was   one   step   closer .      hardly   fazed   in   the   slightest   by   his   attitude ,      her   smile   remained ,      offering   a   quick ,      excited   nod .

          but   of   course ,      that   led   her   to   another   realization .      she   doesn’t   really   know   what   to   OFFER   him .      wasn’t   like   she   had   a   lot   of   money .      had   a   part - time   job ,      but   that   didn’t   mean   she   had   that   much   extra   to   spend   on   tutoring .      after   all ,      if   she   did ,      she   would   have   gone   to   an   actual   tutor .

          that   didn’t   mean   this   would   be   IMPOSSIBLE ,      though ,      right ?      she   had   skills .      maybe   she   could   make   a   deal   with   him .      not   that   she   knew   anything   about   him   other   than   his   general   appearance   &&   the   fact   that   he   was   incredible   at   chemistry .      but   he's   also   a   student ,      &&   she   could   at   least   try   to   guess   what   he   might   want   from   there .      tried   to   think   back   to   what   she’d   heard   others   talking   about   around   campus .      the   general   complaints .

          whatever   she   had   to   offer ,      though ,      it   would   be   after   a   long   moment   that   she’d   realize   she   should   probably   at   least   tell   him   what   she   wanted ,      even   if   he   didn’t   ask .      “      RIGHT ,      of   course .      see ,      i   need   help   with   chemistry   because   i’m      —      kind   of   failing      —      &&   i   know   it’s   not   fair   to   ask   for   help   for   FREE ,      but   i   don’t   exactly      —      have   a   lot   of   extra   cash   right   now ,      so   maybe   we   could   make   a   deal ?      i   mean      —      i   have   skills ,      too ,      so      —      ”      hesitation ,      bright ,      green   eyes   narrowed   slightly   as   if   trying   to   read   his   mind .      not   that   she   had   any   such   powers .      “      maybe   i   could   cook   for   you !      or   clean !      or   help   you   get   into   cool   parties !      or   if   you   need   anything   sewn   up !      not   to   brag   but   i’m   pretty   good   at   housework !      ”

          then   a   deep   breath ,      warm ,      hopeful   smile   still   painted   across   her   lips    as   she’d   look   back   to   him      —      anxiously   shifting   from   one   foot   to   the   other .      “      PLEASE ?      i   know   you’re   busy ,      &&   it   doesn’t   need   to   be   right   now ,      but   i   really ,      really   need   to   pass   this   class .      ”

          IT   WAS   THE   WORST   THING   THAT   EVER   COULD   HAVE   HAPPENED .      thought   that   everything   would   be   fine   now   that   she   was   in   college .      was   still   studying   hard ,      eager   to   better   herself .      &&   she   was   doing   well   for   the   most   part .      was   getting   good   grades   in   all   her   classes   except   ONE .

          but   all   the   people   she   would   have   asked   normally   were   too   busy   to   help   her .      a   fact   that   left   her   with   nowhere   else   to   turn .      had   been   told   about   him   by   both   the   professor   &&   a   few   of   her   classmates      —      a   student   who   was   incredible   at   chemistry .      &&   despite   the   warnings   of   his   irritability   &&   general   attitude ,      she   took   initiative      —      determined   to   pass   no   matter   what   it   took .      determined   to   convince   him   to   help   her .

           this   was   why   she   wandered   the   library ,      searching   for   a   person   who   met   the   description   she’d   been   given      —      short ,      blonde ,      golden   eyes .      &&   it   would   be   on   the   third   floor   that   she’d   finally   find   the   one   she   was   looking   for   slouched   over   a   book   at   a   table   otherwise   empty .      &&   just   like   that ,      relief   washed   over   her      —       the   first   step   taken   care   of .      not   that   she   really   had   any   plan ,      though .

          instead ,      she’d   do   all   she   could   think   to      —      a   wide ,      hopeful   smile   on   her   lips   as   she’d   nearly   bounce   to   the   other   side   of   the   table .      “      HEY !      are   you   edward   elric ?      "      a   moment   of   pause      —      almost   hesitation   as   she   tried   to   decide   what   to   say   next .      hadn’t   thought   about   getting   this   far   yet .      “      ah ,      i’m   YUZU   AIHARA      —      i   heard   from   a   whole   bunch   of   people   how   great   you   are   at   chemistry   &&   i   wanted   to      —      ask   if   you   could   do   me   a   favor .      ”
