6/9 I'M SO S SOO SORRY FOR CHRISTENING YOUR INBOX WITH THIS???

[stressweets]

[ at like 3 in the morning: ]

What if horses had teeth

im glad

[unlightmusic]

the horses would become gods

[unlightmusic]

once they are free of the limits that were invoked by toothlessness

[unlightmusic]

the horses can lead us towards the path of enlightenment

[unlightmusic]

by making us free of our sinful flesh that binds us to this wretched realm of existence, flooded with falsehoods

[unlightmusic]

the horses will take care of Us

[stressweets]

Suzu??

[unlightmusic]

ehehe♪
you were trying to trick me into thinking horses had no teeth, werent you tsukasa-kun?^^
you almost got me!!!
i thought it was cute so i played along as a joke......☆

[your suzuoneechan's sense of humor is weird, tsukasa]

[stressweets]

Oh!!! Okay okay
I was a little worried there
But then again leonii said something about people having different sides so if that's yours then that's okay ♪
It was kind of interesting and fun...
I'd submit to our horse overlords in an instant!!
Unless they'd make us into riding animals like we did them
Then maybe not
I don't want to be ridden

[unlightmusic]

tsukasa-kun
you should think more about how you phrase things

[stressweets]

[ ??????????????? ]

What do you mean

[unlightmusic]

just dont say stuff about being ridden in front of people
especially suspicious people ok
listen to your suzu oneechan

[stressweets]

Okay neesan
I'll listen to you ♪
What makes a person suspicious?

[unlightmusic]

[attaches a photo of one (1) miai garyuu, who decided one day to take a selfie of the two of them with her phone.

suzu looks very miserable in the photo btw]

[unlightmusic]

there's a lot of things that can make someone suspicious
but absolutely never talk about being ridden when this guy is around
ok????????????????

10/10

[idolworship]

( this text comes later in the evening, closer to night. )

hey, suzu-chan
i hope this isn't strange, but
if you're not too busy, would you like to walk a bit?
around the pumpkin patch or so
i feel like we haven't really talked lately, so i've been a little lonely

hey baby are you today's date? cuz ur 10/10

[unlightmusic]

[SUSPICIOUS....... And on top of that, it's still a bit awkward for her after that whole thing where she was Ritsu for a few days...

But, wouldn't this be a good time to be the adults they are and patch things up? Kuro's been out of the house during the evenings lately, as well, so she has to admit it's getting lonely for her as well. Plus, aside from class, she's been pretty much cooped up in her room. A walk didn't sound so bad... even if it is with Miai.

There's a bit of a delay, but eventually, a reply surfaces:]

I'm never not busy, but fine.
Are you going to my place? Or am I going to yours? Meeting halfway?

im goign to scream

[idolworship]

( contrarily, miai's responses are quick - unlike how they've been ever since The Incident, where his replies have been delayed to nonexistent, only somewhat due to his illness. )

i can come by
i was in the area already, actually, and it made me think of you
thanks for humoring me as always ♪ i'll be there soon

splits this up for easier logging...!!

[idolworship]

( ... and after a ten or fifteen minute punctual delay, there's knocking at the door. whenever suzu gets to it, however long it takes, she'll find miai a looking paler than usual, his clothes a nice white, but a little more thin and flowing than usual, spectre-like. it's, like, a little overdramatic, to be honest, but he does look pretty good in it at the very least.

he offers a small wave, as if things were completely normal. )

Evening ♪ You look well for someone so busy ♪ Not that that's a bad thing, of course.

[unlightmusic]

[SUSPICIOUS..... That word courses through Suzu's mind again as soon as she's greeted by the familiar face at her door, after taking her time to psych herself up and muster enough courage. She narrows her eyes skeptically at him, giving a brief look over. That's... different. There was something that felt vaguely unnatural about all of this, including the texts leading up to this point, but should nature be a factor in anything when they're involved with Retrospec? And for all she knew, it could just be Miai putting way too much effort in patching things up between them.]

... I think you need to get your eyes checked if you really think I Iook well... but thanks, I guess.

[Then again, even if she was running purely on energy drinks, two hours of sleep, and sheer force of will to survive her classes while being endlessly assaulted by seasonal allergies these past couple months, it did seem to her that she would be the very pinnacle of health when compared to Miai lately. Which begs the question, as she steps out and shuts the door behind her, locking it:]

Aren't you cold, Ai-chan? White's not exactly the best choice if you're trying to keep warm. I'm getting chills just looking at you.

[An impressive feat, given that the cooler autumn nights have prompted her to bring out her dark palette of knit sweaters and scarves, and this evening was no exception. Indeed, the visual contrast between them is so definite, one could probably view it as terrible modern art.]

[idolworship]

( he laughs - at both remarks, shifting off a little to the side so she has the space to lock her door. )

It's not as bad as it looks, actually— It's all thermal.

( you know. like from un*qlo. granted, none of it seems like thermal material, but...

once she's set and ready, he's starting off - though looking back to ensure they're staying in step. no sense in leaving suzu-chan behind (again?)— )

. . . Honestly, I've grown tired of being so cooped up. ( he says, clasping his hands behind his back. his excuse for dressing a little barer, apparently. ) After a little over a month I suppose I decided whatever happens, happens. And, mm . . .

I was a little bit worried about you, too, being preoccupied for so long, so I thought I'd invite you out. Though, I suppose it's not fair to push that onto you, hm . . . ? I know you really are busy.

( even if he shouldn't know that, it seems he does. )

[unlightmusic]

[(x) doubt

Ugh, it's just so anxiety-inducing just looking at him. Not because of that air of awkwardness being suddenly gone on his end in one fell swoop, but that Suzu is pretty paranoid over the possibility of him succumbing to the cold autumn air any second, no matter how he acts like or says he isn't bothered by it. It's only recently that she finally pieced together that he hasn't been exactly the peak of health as he used to be, the subtle signs reminiscent of her mother's dwindling condition way back when... She doesn't like it.

Her skeptical face remains as they walk side by side, arms crossed over her chest, very much putting on the typical behaviors of "not wanting to be here," even if she accepted the invitation in the first place.]

... That's surprisingly mature of you. [There's at least 30% sincerity in that statement.] Well, whatever. I should probably get some fresh air once in a while... I'm going crazy being buried neck-deep in textbooks.

[She's been avoiding looking at him since they've started their stroll, but by chance she glances and... URRRRGH....]

Seriously Miai, are you really not cold? I'll let you borrow my scarf, if you need to.

[idolworship]

Are you worried about me?

( of course she is— he's just teasing, is all. he drifts a little closer to her in a smooth motion, as if a spectre. )

Mmm . . . I wouldn't mind borrowing your scarf, if you don't mind— but only if we can share it. ( you know, how couples do, ) Otherwise, I suppose I'll simply see how I fair against the autumn wind . . . ?

( he said he's not cold, but he's also not against playing dirty, )

[unlightmusic]

[The suggestion at sharing the scarf (you know, like couples do) immediately causes Suzu to let out a high-pitched squeak, the bafflement obvious on her face. She's about to stammer out very profanity-filled protests, but trails off into silence as she pales when he brings up his challenge against the autumn night's chill. Ugh, he's bluffing, he's bluffing isn't he? Just being a bully like always!! She won't fall for it... She... won't...!!

Actually, no, she's not willing to take any chances. She lets out a tired huff of defeat, as she begins to unwind a portion of the scarf from around her neck.]

... Ugh, fine, it's your victory. Get down here already, asshead; reaching that high up's a huge pain.

[idolworship]

Shall I crouch to the ground to reach you?

( definitely a bully.

he does, though, obediently lean down, but not before he slides awfully close to her, nearly shoulder to shoulder— so she can get the scarf around him more easily, surely. )

Try not to tie it so tight I can't breathe, all right? Or else I may need mouth-to-mouth . . . ♪
