Haru gets a spin the bottle app ready so everything can be equal. (He opens it from Kuro's phone because it's slightly bigger)
He smirks a little and looks at Aiko.
Haru: Sooo, Aiko-Chan. Since you are new to... us. Why don't you go first~ he says with a hint of flirt in tone and changes his expression to a big and innocent smile, Aiko mumbles in an annoyed way and spins the bottle, averting her eyes
[Haru Asks, Shiko Answers]
Haru: Ooooo, Shiko-Chan!~ he smirks
So what will it be? Truth? Dare?. He giggles mischievously, Aiko and Shiko both smile slightly at each other uncomfortably, Kuro smacks the back of Haru's head
Kuro: Tone it down a little will ya? He sighs, Haru looks at him and sticks his tongue out, annoyed, Shiko giggles, Aiko sighs.
Shiko: ...Well, Truth... she says hesitantly
Haru: Heh, Have you ever technically had a significant other?~ he giggles, Shiko blushes slightly and looks down a bit, Aiko looks at her kinda surprised while Kuro doesn't seem to be bothering much, Shiko finally shakes her head no, Haru puffs his face
Well, if you ever want to, I'm here!~ he says jokingly and does double hand finger guns, Kuro smacks the back of his head again as the girls giggle
Kuro: Well, Your turn to spin Shiko... he smiles a little, looking at Shiko. She gulps, hearing her name without any "respect adverb". She nods and spins the bottle in the app
[Aiko Asks, Kuro Answers]
Aiko smirks a little
Aiko: So, Kurosaki-Kun... Truth or dare? she says, kinda unsure. Making it clear she knows the game but haven't really played it. Kuro thinks a little and finally says;
Kuro: Truth~ with a slight smirk, as if tempting everybody else, Haru puffs his face. Aiko gets filled with excitement a little
Aiko: Wellll, why do you act so kindly when it comes to Shiko-Chan?~ Do you like her? Do you feel in debt somehow? Why are you so nice to her when you are fooling around so much with that goof besides you? She says, underline insulting Haru. Shiko slightly blushes
Haru: H-Hey! He says annoyed, Kuro starts speaking without even thinking
Kuro: In my current state of mind, I do not believe in crushes I suppose. He sighs
Shiko felt similar to me in some ways, she felt different from bullies and seemed brave under a shell of fear and anxiety. I felt like we both had similar things missing, so after a few coincidences came our way, I decided to keep approaching. It all turned out for the better anyway and I finally made a friend that didn't tire me out. Haru mumbles few complains
Shiko may feel in debt to me but I too feel in debt to her actually... for giving me such a...friendship. He smiles slightly, all three of Shiko, Aiko and Haru are left a little speechless, Shiko blushes a little and looks down, embarrassed. Haru feels a little annoyed that he "bothers" Kuro while Aiko on the other hand seems pretty satisfied with this response.
Aiko: Wow... so that's where Shiko-Chan's Poeticness came from... she giggles, Kuro looks at her confused. He shucks her shoulders and spins the app bottle
[Haru Asks, Aiko Answers]
Haru: Heheee, so, truth or dare?~ Aiko looks at him with distrust and sighs
Aiko: ...truth.. She says hesitantly as a big smile appears on Haru's face
Haru: Why do you hate me so much, really? He says without changing his expression, speaking in a happy tone, Aiko mumbles a little, not wanting to answer at first but sighs and gives in after a bit
Aiko: Because... you feel like you'd have everything I wanted... and seem so carefree it's annoying! You're popular, You're good with people, if you don't want to do something, you don't... And on top of that, you are also too happy go-lucky! I was depressed and broken my entire life and you just get all you want just because girls like your appearance!? You lie to get what you want, just like that time you called me pretty. She says in one breath, She shuts up after realizing she might have said too much. Kuro looks at her with a blank expression as Shiko strokes her arm slowly, Haru's smile breaks to a regular face as he sighs
Haru: That's only half true. First of all, I have my own problems and if I only do what I want, there are consequences. I'd be in a deeper hole if not for Kuro Pushing me.. he giggles, making fun of himself a little as he rubs the back of his own neck
Second of all, I didn't ever care about my looks really and if I am popular, like you said; then I am mad that nobody told me that! He puffs his face cutely mad for a bit but then sighs again, leading back to a regular expression
I talk too much as you can tell, that's why people just seem to be drawn to me sometimes. I like having fun my way and that's just my personality. I used to be depressed as heck in middle school! He giggles in a way that sounds kinda sad actually, Kuro slowly puts his arm on Haru's shoulder, Shiko looks down as she silently listens to Haru's story that kinda hits home... Haru looks down a little
After several failed suicide attempts, I decided I was done trying to be done... and started trying to want something other than the end of me. He sighs, lifts up His head and looks back at Aiko, Aiko looks kinda speechless and surprised...
So I kinda forced myself to enjoy life.
He giggles and smirks a little
I may be a flirt but what can I say? this is my personality currently and I definitely wasn't lying when I called you pretty. I'd suggest you took some time to get to know me without judging. He winks with a small smirk, Aiko gulps slightly and slowly nods
Aiko: Sorry... now I felt like this was more of a truth to you...rather than me... she averts her eyes a little
Haru: Naaah, somethings had to be said.~ he giggles innocently as Kuro ruffles Haru's hair and takes his arm off of his shoulders, Haru smiles at Kuro and looks back at Aiko
Now you can spin Aiko-Chan!~ Aiko takes a deep breath and smiles a little before spinning the bottle in the app
[Shiko Asks, Kuro Answers]
Kuro says Truth
Shiko: What got you so into literature and poetry? She giggles with a slight ð face, Aiko and Haru looks a little disappointed for such an innocent question
Kuro: Reading. I'd rather spend my time in my books rather than in a cruel world as they collect dust on the shelf's. He smiles very slightly as the girls giggle a little because what he said even now sounded poetic
Now Next. He spins the bottle in the app
[Aiko Asks, Kuro Answers]
He uses his last truth just because why not
Aiko: Heh, Sooo I've been wondering this for a few hours but what is your sexuality, really? She smirks a little, Kuro looks confused, He looks at Haru and sees that he also has a curious expression, Shiko doesn't seem to be saying anything either, he sighs
Kuro: May I ask where this is coming from? He says, scratching the back of his head, Aiko smirks slightly
Aiko: Wellll, I've heard about your strong opinions on genders so I was just curious!~ I tried asking Shiko-Chan but she just said you weren't gay and left it at that.. she giggles slightly, Shiko gets a little red and looks down as if apologizing to Kuro, Kuro smiles slightly
Kuro: Fine then. I'm- he gets cut off when Haru puts his arms around Kuro's shoulders and starts speaking dramaticly
Haru: Oh!~ My dear Kuro-Chan~~~ Tell them about what you truly are, darling!~ he says like a total drama queen with a playful smirk, Aiko and Shiko's eyes open wide with surprise. Aiko's jaw drops for a sec. Kuro hits the back of Haru's head and pushes him towards the bed, not holding back. He looks at him, annoyed and faces the girls again.
Kuro: Ugh. I'm straight. Don't mind that idiot. He hits Haru's leg, still annoyed, the girls sigh of relief after the shock
Haru: I'm gonna die alooooone!~ he says dramaticly as he sits back up straight (no pun-intended), the girls start giggling. Kuro sighs and giggles very slightly too. He looks at Aiko.
Kuro: Yes, I am straight but am respectful to anyone with any sexuality. After all, there are actual problems with humans in this world and sexuality isn't one of those. It's a difference, not a flaw. He smiles slightly, Haru puffs his face
Haru: Easy for you to say... The Yamiza is actually pretty diverse... he says kinda silently, averting his eyes, Kuro sends a death stare to him which shuts Haru up. Aiko and Shiko look confused but just as they are about to say something, Kuro coughs to break silence
Kuro: Let's continue! He spins the bottle
[Haru Asks, Shiko Answers]
Haru: Oooo! Nice!~ Sooo Shiko-Chan. What will it be? He says with a big, innocent smile
Lets be a little fun, shall we? He playfully giggles a little and smirks slightly. Shiko takes a deep breath.
Shiko: D-Dare then... she gulps, Kuro and Aiko look kinda surprised
Kuro: Who would have guessed that you'd be the first one to say dare.. Aiko nods in agreement, Haru giggles
Haru: Well then, I dare you tooooo... tension lowkey starts rising the the air as Haru thinks for a while... Kuro sighs
Kuro: You didn't think this through. Did you..? He says, not surprised, Haru lightly giggles, giving off the vibe of someone unsure and careless
Haru: Well... yea... Aiko also sighs
Aiko: Ugh, don't create tension if you don't even know what to say.. she says with slight sas in tone and rolls her eyes, Haru puffs his face
Haru: Hey! How could I have known Shiko-Chan would say dare... Umm.. he snaps his fingers after a while as his eyes lit up
I got it! You must go on a date with Kuro this weekend! He smirks, Kuro and Shiko both look at him, kinda surprised in wth he's saying
Kuro: Ha?. He says, giving him a slightly pissed/annoyed look as if looking at an idiot
Shiko: B-But... we are just friends... she says slightly more silently, she looks down a little with a pinkish face as if she's heard something really wrong, Aiko smirks a little
Aiko: Hmmm~ You don't have to be more then friends!~ It could be like a fun day out type of thing!~ You two would just go around, eat, go to the park or cinema? I don't know!~ But sounds nice! Rightttt?~ Kuro also looks down a little, to think. Shiko hesitently lifts her head, face still in the pink. Haru smirks too
Haru: Exactly!~ Hehe, just like Aiko-Chan said!~ he giggles kinda mischievously and winks at Aiko. Aiko rolls her eyes, sticks her tongue out annoyingly and turns her head to the side with a sassy look on her face. After a while, Kuro finally sighs, Shiko gulps and takes a deep breath
Shiko: W-Well... I'd doubt my parents would allow that without first having a dinner together with him... Even if I say we're just friends... she averts her eyes
Kuro: I mean, I'm most likely gonna be busy any but I guess If they let you go, I could create some time, maybe. But no promises. He looks at Haru kinda annoyed, Haru shucks his shoulders and looks at Shiko with a smile
Haru: Well then, my dare to you is to simply ask your parents whenever you want. You just must do it!~ he giggles and points at the bottle app, Shiko nods and spins it
[Kuro Asks, Aiko Answers]
Kuro smirks slightly
Kuro: Well, go on then. Aiko looks at him and thinks a bit
Aiko: Well then, dare.. I'm not scared! she says, surprisingly sure of herself, Shiko's eyes glisten with pride and respect as she smiles
Kuro: I dare you to join the Swimming Club. He giggles slightly as all three of Haru, Aiko and Shiko look at him confused
Aiko: Umm... I don't really see Swimming as fun but sure? All I don't understand is why you'd want me there..? Shiko nods in agreement, Haru puffs his face
Haru: You aren't just trying to put Aiko-Chan in a bathing suit are you! Because I've got my eye on her! I won't allow it!~ he says with determination, Aiko looks slightly uncomfortable before Kuro hits the back of Haru's head once more
Kuro: Idiot. I'm not you. You know I've never had eyes for anybody. He rolls his eyes and faces Aiko
Because of many reasons. You seem to be feeling uncomfortable in your body and I feel like if you saw a beauty in the water and in swimming in general; you'd be more confident, find a new hobby, enjoy yourself and more. Also Shiko doesn't know how to swim so I'm gonna teach her but it would put her mind at ease to have another friend with her. She'd also be more comfortable. He smiles slightly, Aiko seems a little surprised on how much thought Kuro put into such a simple dare
Aiko: I would also... lose weight like I wanted... It could make my health improve too I guess... she says kinda hesitantly, thinking out loud, she covers her mouth when she realizes what she said
Haru: At least you are doing it for health. You don't think it's gonna change how people treat you though, right? Aiko looks at Haru, kinda surprised
Aiko: H-Hm..? What....? She says, with a confused tone. Because that's exactly what she was hoping for. Kuro smirks slightly
Haru: Well, people should like you the way you are, or they aren't worth changing for. If they don't treat you the same, they don't deserve you. He smiles slightly but his tone seems more serious than the usual goof.
Aiko stays silent and looks down. Shiko smiles slightly and lets out a sigh of relief
Shiko: You two really do act like seniors when it comes down to it... she giggles a little as Aiko slowly nods. Haru does a peace sign with his hand.
Kuro: Shall we continue? He leans his back towards the wall, Aiko nods and spins
[Shiko Asks, Kuro Answers]
Kuro: Dare. He says with a light smirk even before Shiko Asks anything, she starts thinking. There is a little bit of silence when Aiko's eyes lighten up, she whispers something in Shiko's ear. They both giggle a little as Haru puffs his face.
Haru: Invite me into your girl talk tooooo!~ Aiko sticks out her tongue annoyingly and whispers one more thing to Shiko. Kuro decides not to comment
Shiko: I-I dare you to... sing us a song! A-And try to sing it cutely!~ she giggles with a slightly pinkish face. Haru suddenly bursts out laughing after seeing Kuro's surprised expression
Kuro: W-What!?... Shiko gulps, slightly intimidated as if she should back down
Haru: I-I'd PAY to see that!~ He says mid laughing, Aiko giggles
Aiko: Don't back down now Shiko~ she says with a slight smirk, Shiko takes a deep breath and nods, determined. Kuro sighs and thinks a bit.
Kuro: Well... Whatever... he opens a song from his phone and averts his eyes as the music slowly starts
Haru: Oh! I know how to play this! I'll definitely get my guitar the next time!~ he giggles before the lyrics finally start
The Song he Sings: https://youtu.be/KdGirBkkcrw
He doesn't necessarily sing it amazing but Definitely not bad. You can tell he's not used to singing but his tone seems pretty calm and collected, Shiko and Aiko are in awe, surprised that he sounds even a little full of emotion. Haru also looks pretty surprised but he's smirking. Kuro's Voice does sound derpy now and then but good enough to say it sounds pretty nice! The song slowly comes to an end.
Haru: DAAAAMN! Okaaay, for one thing, I am proud to say I taught you that song!~ he says as if showing off a treasure with a smirk
But have you been practicing?! You were so bad before! Now your relatively good! He giggles a little, making slight fun of him
Kuro looks back at them and hits the back of Haru's head once again
Haru: H-Hey! I'm gonna be sore there soon! You always hit the same place... he puffs his face in an annoyed yet cutesy way
Aiko: Umm... That was surpisingly okay... I though it would be embarrassing... a shame~ she giggles sassily, getting too comfortable
Shiko: W-Where did you learn to sing like that Kuro-...kun...? She says unsure of herself, Kuro looks at them
Kuro: Ugh... a club member...taught me? He averts his eyes, Haru smirks
Haru: Could it beee.... Tsubasa-San?~ he giggles, Kuro nods without looking, Aiko and Shiko looks kinda confused
Shiko: Tsubasa-San...? She says, clearly not knowing who they are talking about
Aiko: What club...? Haru smirks but before anyone answers, Kuro spins
[Aiko Asks, Kuro Answers]
Kuro: Truth. He says without thinking
Aiko: What club? She repeats once again as Kuro realizes he done goofed and should have said dare
Kuro: Dammit! He face palms as Haru giggles
Haru: Looks like somebody made a bad moooove~
Kuro: Oh shut up! He opens his face and looks at Aiko, Shiko looks kinda stressed
It's not technically a club okay? More like a group of people... it's more on the serious side I suppose.. Haru jumps in mid sentence
Haru: Remember the thing I said before? Yamiza? That is their "gathering"Â Kuro sends a mad look to Haru as if telling him to shut. up. After, he faces the girls again
Kuro: It's not called the Yamiza. That's just something Haru and his brother made up. We don't have a specific name but we call ourselves "YNTK" for short. I can't give any details. We just gather from different areas and talk kinda. Tsubasa is one of the four members like me and sings to and with his Boyfriend a lot. Therefor, he taught me a few things. He sighs and leans his back towards the walls again, Haru is more silent after Kuro got serious. Shiko is simply lost in thought and Aiko just seems very interested on the conversation as if hearing about a mystery
Enough... he spins
[Haru as Aiko Answers]
Aiko: Dare! I-I'm not scared! And the mood could use a little improvement.. she says, trying to smooth the air. Because everyone seemed to be holding their breaths, Haru nods and lets out a breath. He smiles
Haru: Go on a date with me!~ Could be fun!~ Just like Kuro & Shiko's "Friend Date". Wouldn't be fair if you said no, right? He smirks and giggles mischievously, Shiko blushes very slightly as Kuro sighs and looks at them, gotten calmer. Aiko gulps and thinks a bit.
Aiko: F-Fine! And unlike these two, I'm actually free this weekend so let's get it over with this Saturday Okay!? She says with a slightly pink face and averts her face, kinda embarrassed but trying to keep up the sass. She spins as Haru giggles
[Haru Asks, Shiko Answers]
Shiko: T-Truth... Haru smirks
Haru: What did you think of Kuro when you first saw him? He giggles, Kuro looks interested too, Shiko looks down with a slightly pink face
Shiko: I-I thought he was messing with me... Because I believed for sure no guy would want to stop a bullying act without benefits... B-But apparently Kuro simply had a more thoughtful and kind soul... she says, kinda silently and looks down with a light smile
He changed me... and gave me courage to speak my mind more... in such a short period of time... she giggles a little and lifts up her head, Aiko has a big smirk on her face while Haru is trying not to laugh, Kuro seems to be looking a different way
Haru: Oh god... thoughtful maybe? He thinks too much. BUT A KIND SOUL!? He starts giggling, Shiko looks at Kuro, not seeing his face
Shiko: D-Did I make you mad...? She says hesitently
S-Sorry...? She says, unsure of herself. Haru giggles
Haru: T-Thats not it!~ he says, mid giggle, He turns Kuro's head towards them
He is blushing!~ You embarrassed him!~ Shiko and Aiko's eyes open wide to see that Kuro is veeeeery slightly pink. Baaaaarely visible unless someone points it out
Kuro: That's your imagination. Shut up. Let's just continue! He says, pretty quickly. He just seems happy deep down but he doesn't like showing that that much.
Haru, Aiko and Shiko giggle.
The game continues like that for a while until 11PM. They play for around an hour, take a 30 minute break and share stories with eachother and so on before continuing the game again. Time passes filled with giggling, deep stuff, funny stuff, dares and truths till 11PM. Aiko yawns which makes Shiko yawn too. Kuro sighs
Kuro: I think we better wrap it up... tomorrow is gonna a tough day... Haru stretches a little, The girls looks kinda confused, so Kuro decides to explain
The school knows you as a bully who used me and would use anybody. They also realized that you decided to be yourself instead of the typical girly stereotype. They won't treat you the same. Haru nods in agree
Haru: I assume they would treat you more like a guy. Before, nobody recognized you so everything was on the low but now... Aiko cuts him off and finishes his sentence without thinking
Aiko: The entire school knows you... and knows you wrong on top of that... they all look at Shiko as she looks down
Shiko: Great.......... she sighs with a troubled look on her face, Kuro ruffles Shiko's hair a little, she slowly lifts up her head to see Kuro is lightly smiling before slowly looking down with a small smile of her own
Kuro: Don't worry. You aren't alone this year. Aiko, Haru and I will be on your side.. Haru puffs his face
Haru: Whaaa?? seems like a lot of worrrk!~ this time Aiko hits the back of Haru's head, Kuro giggles slightly
Kuro: Heh. I guess it's even more satisfying when others do it. He says with a small smirk across his face, Aiko also smirks
Aiko: It's What he deserves!~ Hmph~ she smiles slightly as she speaks in a sassy tone and looks away, Shiko looks up and giggles
Haru: H-Hey! Is everyone in on this now!? He puffs his face, Shiko averts her eyes to look out the window
Shiko: "I like this... I hope things stay like this forever... I have many things I'm thankful for now..." she looks towards Kuro
"Thanks to you and my series of coincidences." She giggles very slightly
"I guess I have to thank Nagisa and the girls too for this. If not for them making trouble for me, I probably would have never spoken to these three. Or spoken to anyone..." a sweet smile appears on her face. All three look at her kinda confused
Aiko: Shiko-Chan? Is something the matter?
Haru: You were staring at Kuro~ he says with a cute tone, kinda making fun of her as if it's looove. Kuro rolls his eyes.
Kuro: She was just staring in a distance. It's normal. I may have slept through half the day but she must be exhausted after everything that happened.. she lightly ruffles Shiko's hair as she shakes her head no
Shiko: Not really... I just feel kinda... relieved? She hesitently giggles
It's just so peaceful right now... she slowly sighs
But nothing lasts forever...- Haru cuts her off
Haru: And that's fine. He finishes Shiko's sentence with a mature yet happy smile. He winks as if saying "hehe. Gotcha" and puts his arm on Kuro's shoulders
It wouldn't feel special if things could last forever. Kuro continues after Haru
Kuro: We all have time to grow. Mentally mostly. Change isn't bad. Difference will teach us more about stuff we may not know yet about ourselves. He says with a calm and collected voice before finally letting out a short sigh
Now I think that's enough poeticness and maturity for the day. We should call it a night. I have work to finish and Haru is probably exhausted from trying to act like the senior he's supposed to be. He giggles all knowingly, Haru puffs his face and takes his arm off of Kuro's shoulders. The girls giggle, nod and get up.
They all say their goodbyes before the girls leave. When the girls get in front of Shiko's room, they exchange contact info and shortly after, Aiko leaves to her own room. Shiko gets inside and sits in front of her desk. Realizing that she actually was tired after all. She starts writing in her diary.
While in Kuro and Haru's room,
Kuro has started doing his work on the computer as Haru keeps tossing and turning on top of his bed, playing in his PSP.
Kuro: Would you stop that? I can't focus. He says without looking away from his computer, Haru grunts
Haru: Well neither can I! Okay? I'm doing real bad in my game because I have a lot on my mind!~ he says in an annoying yet persistent way, Kuro sighs and actually looks away from his work to look at Haru. Haru realizes that and stops his game for a moment. Surprising moves from them both.
Kuro: What is it...? He says with a voice that doesn't seem like he actually cares all that much. Haru doesn't really seem to want to give an answer either
Haru: It's... about a girl again... But! Here me out- Kuro cuts him off
Kuro: About Aiko right? He says with a small smirk, Haru looks surprised for a few seconds
Haru: W-Wha!? He says, not expecting Kuro to actually think of such a thing
Why would you say that!? He says with a tone implying "of course not!"
Kuro: Well you have this sort of pattern where if you speak flirtishly to girls with practically every thing you say to them, it's your personality and you are just joking about how desperate you are. He says with a small smirk
Haru: H-Hey! I don't do that! You know I could get girls if I really wanted to! I just- Kuro cuts him off again
Kuro: Don't think you deserve that? He adds, keeping his smirk, Haru can't really say anything. Looking lightly shocked.
Heh, you may tire me; but I know you. You pay attention to Aiko and you actually spoke to her genuinely a few times. Not to mention you used your "desperate-like" personality to get a "friend date" AND even told her a little about your past. Haru looks down, not knowing what to say for once
You saw her as a human instead of just "a girl". You should try doing that more. He says as his smirk turns into a small smile. Haru slowly nods and keeps looking down.
Maybe what you should do right now is not play games and take a moment to think. Maybe even write a diary to keep track of your thoughts. It may sound stupid but it will help you understand yourself. He lightly sighs
And don't assume that you don't deserve stuff out of the blue. You are alive right now and you should look at that fact wisely. The Past is in the past but now is now. After finishing his sentence, he relaxes a little on his chair and lets out a breath of relief, Haru giggles slightly and looks up at her
Haru: You know, I think Shiko might have changed you more than you changed her. Kuro looks at him confused, not understanding what he means by that
You may still be poetic but you would never bother to hear me out like this before to disturb your work. Let alone give me advice on girls OR humans who you despise so much. He says and smirks.
It's a good change. I guess we do have to grow more. He takes out a pen and notebook
I'll keep a diary or whatever... he looks at Kuro
But I'm sure you are doing more work than you need to. You already did some throughout the day. He says and looks at his notebook to start writing. Kuro looks at his screen. He sighs
Kuro: You... May be right. He saves the things he was doing and closes up his computer and notebooks. After making his bag for tomorrow and changing his clothes. He gets in his bed and looks at his phone. He sends Shiko a message
[From Kuro to Shiko]
Kuro: "Hey. I may be... okay with humans more now..."
Shiko is looks at her phone and opens the message. He smiles
Shiko: "Glad to hear that... I may also be okay with being around multiple people more now... and to speak ya know..."
She closes up her diary and stuff and gets in her bed.
Kuro and Shiko both send a message at the same time
Kuro: "Thank you..."
Shiko: "Thank you..."
They both look at there phone with slight shock and giggly silently
Kuro: "Heh... I guess people do rub off on eachother. I may be figuring out the human nature..."
Shiko looks at her phone and giggles
Shiko: "Heh yea..."
"By the way... you do this a lot, but sometimes you speak like an alien. You say stuff like this as if you aren't human. It's funny but kinda cute. (o^^o)"
She looks at her message and stops for a moment, getting kinda pink
"W-Wait... D-Did I just call him cute!? S-Should I delete that before he sees...? Y-Yea.. I shou-"
But before she deletes it, Kuro rights back
Kuro: "Heh...Thank you I suppose. I've never really be called cute before unless it was someone making fun of me. And yea... I guess I do sometimes talk like that. Maybe it rubbed off on me from one of my co-members in YNTK... Ningyo. He always speaks like that haha."
"Whatever, I'm rambling anyway..."
"Goodnight. (ï¿£^ï¿£)ã"
Shiko looks at the phone and giggles a little with a small yet warm smile on her face.
Shiko: "Goodnight...~ (o^^o)"
They both close their phones and lights. Kuro tries to fall asleep as Haru keeps writing in his notebook, on the bed, under his night light. Shiko silently looks at the ceiling in the dark. She pushes the curtains all the way open with one of her legs and looks out in the stary sky from where she's laying. She suddenly realizes something.
Shiko: "Wait... Kuro said he'd never been called cute unless someone was making fun of him... C-Could it be... he was once like me..? B-Bullied!? I-I should ask him when I have the time..."
she tosses on her side in the bed without taking her eyes off of the window
"Wait... why am I still thinking of him... this is the time I always think about Hikari-Chan..." she suddenly puts her head under her pillow
"Oh Hikari.... I have so much to talk to you about this weekend... how am I supposed to get by with 2 hours a day..."
She starts tossing and turning more before finally stopping after a few minutes. She sighs lightly
"Hikari.... Your sister is changing..." a small smile crosses her face. She takes her head out from under her pillow and lays properly again, facing the ceiling once more. She closes her eyes and lets out a loooong breath of relief.
Shiko: "Tomorrow is a new day..." she slowly closes her eyes and tries to fall asleep.
