"He is haunted... by his friends. All his precious companions and their deaths. Eight years ago, he had friends he cared about very much. Friends he would give his life for. Their names were... Shinya Hiiragi, Norito Goshi, Mito Jujo, Sayuri Hanayori, Shigure Yukimi. But they all died.... Oh, they died all right. And then they were revived.
But the world does not permit the dead to come back. It was a presumption that angered a petty god. The price of their return was great. Very, very great. Can you guess what it was? All the adult humans of the world were killed by a virus. Ever since, Guren Ichinose... has been haunted by that sin and its price."

LIKE IT??? He likes it. Anyway, he's pouring a glass now, and there's bubbles. What a wild time.]

Date: 2018-06-12 17:30 (UTC)instead, he crouches, eye-level with the glass so he can watch the head of it form, the minuscule bubbles bouncing around near the rim of the glass. delightful! ]
…
[ he touches his own mouth, curious. how did it get that dark color? he’s been noticing the color of things a lot more, in the absence of so much of it in this town. ]
no subject
Date: 2018-06-12 17:37 (UTC)He hands the glass out to Dextera, inviting.]
It's still junk food, so it's not that good for you, but it's nice to have on occasion. It's sweet. Here, try some.
no subject
Date: 2018-06-12 17:47 (UTC)…?
[ out of habit, he sniffs it first, and some of the fizz pretty instantly gets up his nose. he turns away, covering his mouth, and there’s a sound that’s probably a sneeze?! luckily, nothing spills. ]

Date: 2018-06-12 18:21 (UTC)dextera presses the back of his hand to his nose to try to suppress the tickle, but the damage is already done. guren is laughing at him! ]
Nngh…
[ he’ll be fine! he shakes it off, and looks at the cola with a renewed vigor. he’s still excited to try it, but now it sort of feels like something to conquer.
his mouth overlaps about halfway with the imprint of guren’s lips on the glass, and his first impression is that—it hurts? and then he realizes it’s not pain, just fizz, and something very sweet. it’s an electric mix of sensations, and his eyes widen slightly. ]
no subject
Date: 2018-06-12 18:26 (UTC)So, what do you think?
no subject
Date: 2018-06-12 18:30 (UTC)it’s addictive? he wants to keep drinking it, even though it’s not nearly as refreshing as plain water, but the carbonation makes it interesting. he’s like an animal… entertained by the smallest things. ]
…
[ he doesn’t say anything, but both hands are holding the glass now, and he takes a pointedly longer drink. he did get hot chocolate from a quest—maybe it’s becoming obvious that he has a sweet tooth. ]
no subject
Date: 2018-06-12 19:06 (UTC)I'm gonna take that as you like it. Just let me know if you want some more. [So, he'll go ahead and pour some in the other glass, picking it up to take a nice long drink as well. He missed!! Cola!!!]
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 03:15 (UTC)Happy?
[ look at him, fishing for compliments... he can’t humbly give a gift. ]
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 03:35 (UTC)Isn't that obvious? You can tell when I'm happy, so why do I have to tell you? [But he's grinning, and he nudges Dextera with his elbow, playfully.]
Thank you. Seriously. But if you get one of those things again, use it on something important, instead.
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 05:19 (UTC)not like he’s going to ask for that! ]
This is important.
[ how could guren expect him to say anything else? ]
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 05:25 (UTC)[What does he say to that. It's so stupid, so sweet, that he doesn't know what to do with himself. His free hand presses to his own face, now, trying to hide the way he's grinning about it all. It's... nice. It feels nice.]
Yeah, yeah, I get it.
[His hand drops away, and he quite literally waves off that topic after another sip of his cola. He'll offer Dextera more soon enough. For now, he's just glad that that party didn't make Dextera feel weird about spending time with him.
He'd been a little worried.]
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 05:51 (UTC)he just likes guren. ]
Next, curry.
[ he remembers what guren likes—and it sounds silly, maybe, to wish on a well for a plate of curry, but it’s still true that dextera doesn’t need a thing.
this, however, is said a little playfully. ]
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 06:04 (UTC)[He says it with a grin, or a smirk, really, stepping closer when they're already quite close. He's drawn to him, he can't help it, and it would be so easy to place a hand at Dextera's waist and bring them even closer, talk just like that.
But he remembers himself, and sets his empty glass of cola to the side, turning as he does to break that sudden tension he just created.]
Save it for something you want. Do you want more cola?
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 06:23 (UTC)for now, he just nods, ducking closer to the bottles and holding his glass out. it’s guren’s glass, really, that he just kind of stole, but it’s also his now. ]
Sweet. [ duh, but it’s just an observation ] I like sweet.
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 06:27 (UTC)[He'll pour him another glass, and he'll pour himself one, too. Might as well, since he's so god damn thirsty— I mean, he needs something to do with his hands, and holding a glass works.]
So, how are you feeling? Everything going okay? [He's not filling silence at all. He's leaning back against this counter and definitely not staring across the room and just repeatedly glancing back at Dex for peeks.]
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 06:39 (UTC)…“positive.” [ and he laughs, just a little. ] Aren’t you?
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 06:42 (UTC)[A short laugh, and then a long drink of his cola. Mm, it's refreshing, but he wants to save some for later. Spread it out a little, for as long as it'll last carbonated. For however many times he can share it with Dex.
He's very aware that he came over to his house for this, and he's still touched. But... he's not sure if he should suggest they go up to his room. What does it have? His laptop, a bunch of random items he's gained, like that embroidery...
...He takes another slow drink.]
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 06:49 (UTC)he gestures to his own head, completely unaware that guren is sweating over inviting dextera to his room. ]
Where’s your crown?
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 06:52 (UTC)[On a bookshelf, just like that dumb embroidery. Yes, he's soft enough to keep it and not throw it away.]
Why, do you want it? [Obviously he's not going to be wearing it ever again.]
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 07:02 (UTC)[ is that a real offer? there’s a moment where dextera’s eyes light up like the answer is yes, but then he remembers his manners and quickly shakes his head. it’s not even that he wants the crown for any reason. he just likes having things, like a hoarder.
he also didn’t ask in order to get the crown, but now guren has implanted the thought in his mind. ]
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 07:05 (UTC)For now, his hand finds Dextera’s wrist, and he tugs lightly to lead him. He’d rather help his room become a little comfortable for Dextera than hide dumb embroidery. ]
I don’t mind if you want it. I told you it’d suit you better.
no subject
Date: 2018-06-13 07:09 (UTC)Just try.
[ just let him wear it… once. ]
no subject
Date: 2018-06-14 06:09 (UTC)In the meantime, Guren is leading him quietly up to his room. He tosses a glance at the rooms of his roommates as he passes, like he's keeping in mind Dextera's comfort, but ultimately, they don't come out, and he's free to lead him into his room.
And thankfully, they're not hiding in there, either. He lets Dextera's hand go and moves over to grab it. It's sitting on his desk, right now, next to his laptop, since he was trying to pick a spot on the bookshelf to place it for good. He's done some redecorating since the quests with learning, if Dextera hasn't been here since then, so the bookshelf is a new, sturdy one. His knives are no longer laying out in the open, and...
Well, he still has a hole in the ceiling. He really doesn't seem concerned with that.]
Here. [Walking back, he places the crown on Dextera's head for him.]
