she says nothing, simply wiping the blood and sweat off his face, his arms.... the bruises color his pale skin blue and purple. it takes ann all of her power to not cry in frustration, in /anger/, at the people who treated him so disgustingly. and he looked so tired... oh, so tired. she presses her lips against where his cheek was free of any injury, in fear of hurting him further. ‘ ...i was so scared i wasn’t going to see you after that. ’

Consistent stings and aches happen all over the male’s body, his nerves screaming in constant pain from the amount of absolute torture that he went through. His cheek was swollen and the bruises almost seemed to multiply every time someone else looked at him.

Akira winced just from the delicate touch from the other, eyes dull from the extreme aggression that came from the corrupted officers. He reached up and pulled his hood down, and then closed his eyes in a bit of essence to relax. At least he could do that now. But he could see the disdain from Ann’s face – the venom she was holding back.

“–sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you…” It’s all he can manage to get out before he finds himself over the booth’s table in exhaustion. “I’m just glad to be home…”

“Futaba,” the boy’s voice came out from the other side of the door, “Come on. You can’t chicken out of this now. We’re just going to the shrine, it’s no different than the electronics store... okay, it doesn’t have electronics, but still.” Akira sighs as he sat outside of her door. “If you don’t hurry, it’s going to rain.”

Takes his headphones out. “--huh?”

“Alright, seriously...?” Akira stares at the girl next to him, after seeing her take another bite out of his dessert. “I offered to get you another one, why are you eating all of mine? This crepe is mine, Ann. Come on.” Rolling his eyes, he just relinquishes the treat to her in surrender.

Uhm, I wasn’t going for that but– whatever. I’ll take it.

“Riling you up actually kind of fun.”

@amagiggled liked the starter call!

“Er... ma’am, excuse me! I think you dropped your fan...?” It’s rare to see something like that being carried, and as such, he couldn’t help but notice it. Though, once she had turned around, ashen hues found themselves focused on her a bit intently... too intently. And for whatever reason, he didn’t stop staring...?

“You know, I just realized,” came the voice of the male, sitting behind Ann in class as the teacher stepped out and away by getting called out, “We’re not going to have gym for a while, are we? With Kamoshida gone... Not that I’m complaining. I hated the gym uniform, if I’m being honest.”
