And your tears have been worthwhile [Day 293 | OPEN]

[bedheadstyle]

Who: Haruka Kokonose and you!
Open: Open
When: Day 293, afternoon
Where: Old Apartments, outside
What: Haruka is finally getting that mural started. Or at least he was, until he decided to take a break and fall asleep
Format: Will follow
Warnings: -

[Some time between Day 290 and 293, a strange structure had come to sit against an outside wall of the old apartments. And also in that time, the entire side that it sat against had been painted pure white.

Slowly through those days, a rough sketch started to appear as well, detailing familiar faces of the residents of the Bastion in various poses as well as a large "banner" drawn above them with... some sort of text that most people weren't going to be able to read unless they were Japanese.

Not that Haruka was giving much thought to language barriers. This was his mural project, the same one he had been going on about for some time now, in it's beginning stages with not much to be impressed about beyond the obvious skill behind the preliminary sketches that had gone up.

Today was no different in that he would be continuing to work on it, and even starting the arduous task of painting all those people.

Though if anyone passed by in the late afternoon, they might think he had ducked out early due to the absence of the scraggly-haired teen on the scaffolding that Colin had built for him.

Except...

is that snoring coming from up there?]

[ Oh no is she smiling? She has to look away like right now. ]

Yeah, well, I .. figure you were working pretty hard out here, you'll need more food ...

8'D

[bedheadstyle]

[SO CUTE.]

... youuuuu're smiling~

[And now he's doing the same right back.]

Do you want to eat with me?

[headphoneactor]

N-No I'm not!

[ BLUSHING. And ... yeah, smiling. ]

Uh ... I ... guess maybe. Sure.

[bedheadstyle]

I'm glad. I like it when you smile.

[Totally ignoring your denial there.]

[headphoneactor]

[ oh no, her face is totally red ... ]

I. Uh ... I ...

[bedheadstyle]

[CUTIE.]

Here.

[He will take her mind off of it by offering some of the food she brought.]

[headphoneactor]

[ gonna just take some of that food and quietly munch on it. ]

[bedheadstyle]

[Yay, lunch with girlfriend!]

This is really good~

[headphoneactor]

Mhm. I got some food from the girl with the tail. She does a good job.

[ It's kind of sad that she can say that now and not feel weird about how it sounds. ]

[bedheadstyle]

[Still weird, though.]

Oh! Uhm. ... Oooo... kumura-chan? That's her name, right?

[headphoneactor]

I guess so.

[ She shrugs. ]

I don't really talk to her. I just get what I need and go.

[bedheadstyle]

You should talk to her sometime!

[Haruka no...]

[headphoneactor]

What would I even talk to her about?

[ Yeah, Haruka, no. ]

[bedheadstyle]

... food?

[Haruka...]

[headphoneactor]

[ Takane is just gonna glare at you.

Food is your thing. ]

[bedheadstyle]

... music? Books? ... there's a lot of things to talk to people about, Takane.

[Come on, work with him.]

[headphoneactor]

What if I don't wanna talk.

[ She says, nomming as she nonchalantly says it. ]

[bedheadstyle]

It won't kill you to make friends, Takane...

[headphoneactor]

I'm just not that talkative! Not with most people. Usually only with you. But you're different than most people.

[ awkward awkward awkward. ]

[bedheadstyle]

Eh? How am I any different than anyone else?

[headphoneactor]

Y-You know! You ... um.

[ She looks away and murmurs. ]

You understand me. What it's like to be different, and not normal, and stuff.

[bedheadstyle]

Oh. Right...

[It was the thing that connected them, after all.]

Still, I think you're underestimating how different everyone here is. I mean, Rin-chan has a tail.

[headphoneactor]

She does? I didn't notice.

[ Actually she did, and it was a little strange. ]

[bedheadstyle]

[Even Haruka knows that's bullshit.]

[headphoneactor]

[ and? wanna fight about it, boy? ]
