friend no, not like this
Date...?!
[Welp, there went all of his nerves. Completely decimated by that particular statement.
He... shouldn't be focusing on something like that right now, not with everything that's going on. But he can't help the way his stomach squirms with some strange mix of hope and panic.]
Sorry, it's just... Um... [This is potentially a very embarrassing situation and by brain keeps jumping the gun and it would probably be even worse if I said any of this out loud.] A-actually, never mind. I'll be fine in a minute.
[Nodding, Naegi takes the bed. The material is still stiff and unfamiliar, even though they've been here for a while, but Naegi is sure he'll get used to it after a few more weeks.] So, now that we're here, what would you like to talk about? [Fortunately, his voice comes out pretty normal and not too flustered, even if he's probably still a little red.]
yama you should know by now i have no self-control
[ It's a sheepish admission because she can't outright confess that the reason she wanted to talk to Naegi was...exactly that - she just wanted to talk to the boy. She didn't care what they talked about, so long as she was simply talking to him. Being around the boy never failed to make her feel better, especially in these trying times when she needed it the most. ]
I just wanted to check on you and see how you're doing...considering the situation.
[ It's a harmless lie, one she made up immediately to save face, but it isn't as though there isn't any truth to it. She's sure she knows what his answer will be, but it never hurt to hear it again. ]
it's okay I probably don't either
[Ah, he must be blushing a lot now. His face feels hot. But he can't help the smile that pulls at lips, or the feeling of happiness bursting in his chest, and his heart just might be beating a little bit faster. Maizono-san... She was actually thinking about me...?]
That's... really very kind of you, Maizono-san. But I wouldn't expect anything less. You're a very kind person, after all.
I'm... doing alright, though. It's hard being in here sometimes, but I know it's like that for all of us... [But they don't really have a choice, so...] And it probably goes without saying, but sometimes I miss my family.
[His parents and Komaru... He hopes they're safe.]
I want to believe everything will work out, though! I know it looks bad right now, but... I want to believe that one day we'll get out of here. And then I'll get to see them again, and everyone else can see their important people too.
no subject
...Ehehe. When you say things like that...it makes me believe that we really will get out of here someday, Naegi-kun.
[ Or at the very least, it reminds her that she wants to get out of here. To return to her idol group, which weren't just her fellow members, but her friends and family. ]
Um...this may be a selfish request, but when that day comes and we all go our separate ways...please don't forget about me, okay, Naegi-kun?
no subject
[At first it's just a breath of surprise that's similar to awe - were his words enough to help...? But then it's something more along the lines of shock.]
Of course I'll never forget about you! No matter what happens, I wouldn't ever forget about you. I swear I wouldn't.
And... Maybe if you don't mind, I'd like to ask something of you that's far more selfish than what you asked me... [As in, Maizono hadn't been selfish at all, but Naegi is certainly about to be.] I know... When we get out of here, it's likely we'll each take our own path separate from one another. But Maizono-san, if it's at all possible... I'd like to continue being around you, even if it's just a little every once in a while. I know you'll probably be busy with your life as an idol once things have settled down, so you probably won't have as much time, but... This might be presumptuous of me to say, but I think of you as a friend. [Probably a little bit more, but Maizono doesn't need to know that right now.] And I'd... like to continue being your friend, if it's alright with you.
Besides... If we were able to meet again here at Hope's Peak, only to be separated again once we leave... That seems too cruel of a fate, doesn't it?
no subject
Naegi-kun...thank you. [ Sayaka can't help but smile at that, but this time, it's a genuine smile. Not the usual smiles she always forces upon her face in order to uphold her image, but...Naegi had some effect on her that always allowed her to smile genuinely when she was around him.
However, when he says he has a selfish request of his own, that smile fades, replaced by pure confusion. She hasn't the slightest idea what Naegi could want to ask of her, unless...no, there was certainly no way that he would ask her that, would he...? She can't help but flush at the prospect, but she puts away her assumptions, quietly listening to him speak while trying to ignore the blood rushing to her cheeks.
When he finishes, she can't say it was what she expected, but that doesn't mean that she appreciates it any less. That smile from before returns, and she shakes her head. ]
...No, that's not presumptuous at all. It actually makes me happy to hear that, because...I think of you as a friend, too, Naegi-kun. Well, now that I think about it...we're more than that, aren't we? [ She pauses just for a moment, enough to tease him by allowing him to start making assumptions about what she's going to say next, before continuing on. ] I mean, that makes us soulmates now, right? Being reunited at this school and remaining together for the rest of our lives...ehehe, maybe we're bound together by the red string of fate.
slides in late but without the Starbucks
[Naegi had been so relieved by Maizono's words, but her pause and calling them soulmates makes him incredibly flustered. Although, for a minute... He'd almost thought Maizono would say they were.. Something else...]
I-I suppose that makes sense, doesn't it? No, it definitely does. I've... never given much thought to soulmates, to be honest, but it seems like a lot of coincidences that we would keep meeting each other like this...
[It's a nice thought, a warm thought. It feels a little silly, but Naegi is inexplicably happy about it.]
If such a thing exists, though... I'm glad we get to be each other's soulmates, Maizono-san.
shhh it is okay friend
I'm glad, too, Naegi-kun. Um, this may sound a little forward, but...I couldn't imagine having anyone else as my soulmate.
[ She's certain her face is still a little red as she says this, but it's how she feels. She's glad that fate or whatever else powers that be decided to pair them together. ]
Although, if we are soulmates, then...that proposes a bit of a problem.
thank you friend :' DDD
I... don't know why you would want someone as ordinary as me, but it would be an honor...
[His heart is skipping in happiness, but it slows down a little bit as he registers the last words she says.]
Why would it be a problem, though? [It isn't him, is it? Maizono said she wanted him to be her soulmate, so... It can't something he's done, can it? He can't help voicing his concern anyway.] Is there... something wrong with me being your soulmate?
no subject
[ Alright, she's going in for it! This is the most forward thing that she's probably ever going to say, and she's a little embarrassed, but no turning back now. ]
If we are truly soulmates, then wouldn't it be problematic if we both were to...see different people? For example, if you suddenly got a girlfriend, Naegi-kun...
no subject
Something wells up in him, expanding in his chest. It feels like longing and fear and courage all knotted up into one sensation, and it's both exhilarating and unbearable.]
Maizono-san...
[The moment he says her name, Naegi knows. He knows that he's going to go through with it and say it. It's absolutely terrifying, and it's literally the last thing he wants to do, the fear of outright rejection sitting so heavily on his chest...
But the world is in chaos outside. And in here, every passing day is bleaker and bleaker.
If he doesn't say it now, when will he ever?]
What if you were my girlfriend?
no subject
Naegi-kun...
[ She pauses for a moment, looking sheepish. It's almost as if she's uncertain of her words. ]
...It's not like I don't want to. Please don't get me wrong, I'm...really glad that you asked. I've liked you for a while, actually...ever since junior high when I saw you rescue that crane, but we never got the chance to talk, and before I knew it, we both graduated and went our separate ways. That's why I was so happy to see you here at Hope's Peak, and I'm happy that you feel the same way, but...
[ She can't help but feel scared. What if Naegi realizes that he truthfully doesn't like her? Would he still like her if he knew who she truly was? If he knew all of the terrible things she had to do to achieve and maintain the title of SHSL Idol? She can't hide it from him...well, she could, but then she would feel terrible for lying to him. She doesn't want him to like her because of the mask she wore; if he was going to like her, she wanted him to know the true her, and he deserved to know. ]
...Are you certain about this? About me?
no subject
[In spite of the pause, his voice leaves no room for doubt. He's red-faced, but Naegi looks at her determinedly and unflinchingly.]
To hear that you like me also... It's more than I could ever hope for. Saying that, I was sure I'd be rejected, but...
...Maizono-san. [He smiles, wide and warm, and his eyes might just be a little watery.] You have no idea... How happy I am right now. How long I dreamed that you might say something like that to me...
I know things are really scary and uncertain right now... I want to be with you, even in spite of that, and I never imagined that you would accept me, but...
If you'll have me, Maizono-san, my heart belongs to you.
this is so cheesy and i love it
If...If we're going to start dating, Naegi-kun, then...I want you to call me by my given name.
[ It's a privilege she would've granted him a long time ago, but...this opportunity is more fitting instead, isn't it? She had never wanted to overstep her boundaries, lest he didn't feel the same way, but to know that their feelings for each other were reciprocated...there was no better time than now to step out of formalities. ]
I'm happy to hear that your heart belongs to me, and the same goes for me as well. You might not believe it, and it's a little embarrassing to admit, but...I've never had a boyfriend before. [ Though, it wasn't all that surprising, what with her status as an idol. To have a boyfriend would surely rouse scandals and tarnish her "pristine" image. It didn't matter now while they were locked in the school, but...she didn't know what would happen next if they were rescued and could return to the public.
...She supposed she'd cross that bridge when she got there. ] Therefore, I'm not very certain on how dating works...but I promise you I'll do my best to become your Super High School Level Girlfriend. Ehehe!
