[ dextera is… captivated. he’s not a bumpkin from the past, so he knows what carbonation is, scientifically, but it still feels exciting to watch something fizz up like this. it’s almost like it’s alive, but that’s a weird thought he’s not going to share.

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. ]

[ dextera takes the glass, holding it reverently, since he knows this is something guren adores and it’s nice of him to share. he almost rejects it, but it’s a moment he wants to have. trying new things—that’s one of his delights, here in the town. ]

…?

[ 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. ]

[ STOP BULLYING

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. ]

[ dextera doesn’t know what he thinks.

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. ]

[ dextera watches guren as he drinks his present. it’s weird, incredibly sweet and fizzy, but it’s nice, too—he’s surprised that it’s guren’s favorite, even if he shouldn’t be. ]

Happy?

[ look at him, fishing for compliments... he can’t humbly give a gift. ]

[ a little smile, when guren nudges him, and... he’s already drained the glass of cola. his throat burns a little, actually, and it feels weird in his stomach, but the taste was good and he wants more.

not like he’s going to ask for that! ]


This is important.

[ how could guren expect him to say anything else? ]

[ his excitement, of course, may have had a hand in that—he already said that he doesn’t like coming over here, especially uninvited, but here he is anyway. trying to make guren happy outweighs all of that, and he’s glad to have been able to do it.

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. ]

[ dextera reads it in the air even so. there’s something, for a moment, between them—and he anticipates a touch that never comes. it surprises him, though he’s not sure if he’s surprised at the desire or the lack of contact.

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.

[ yeah it’s totally not obvious at all that he’s just trying to avoid any awkward silences. dextera sips the cola, glancing over at guren once he’s asked about… such a normal, daily question as his health? ]

…“positive.” [ and he laughs, just a little. ] Aren’t you?

[ they’ll be able to restore the sun in no time, dextera thinks. there’s light in this town that suggests the sun is there, but trying to search for it amidst a grey sky mostly gets frustration. with color, in this town, comes life, and dextera is looking forward to seeing the sky restored, piece-by-piece.

he gestures to his own head, completely unaware that guren is sweating over inviting dextera to his room. ]


Where’s your crown?

…!

[ 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. ]

[ there are a lot of things happening, and dextera tries to swallow down the entirety of his glass of cola to follow guren’s lead. he manages not to choke, but a shiver does run down his spine at the sensation of all of those bubbles, all at once. he sets the glass next to guren’s, and then follows along. ]

Just try.

[ just let him wear it… once. ]

"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."
