⑦ - Written

[ So Valentine's Day doesn't particularly mean much to Mikado, except that it's February 14th. That means he's been in Luceti for roughly three months and... things are starting to become routine. He's gotten used to the wings, meeting people who aren't human or have different standards or have strange-sounding jobs are starting to feel normal. The experiments are a nice break from the routine, but he's afraid that one day he's going to find that normal as well. He's starting to notice himself adjusting to this exotic land and it's scaring him a little bit.

More than that though, he's really homesick. Lately he finds himself comparing everything in Luceti to something from home, and just more frustrated knowing that he's not able to go home at will. The most recent experiment was just a blow to the face--seeing Anri after what felt like forever just made him realize how incomplete he feels without her around. Romantic feelings aside, he's sure that this homesickness wouldn't be so bad if all three of them were back together again.

Basically? Adjusting is a bitch. ]

...What is an "everyday" to you?

Not necessarily here in Luceti, but in your home world as well.

[ blinkblink ] ...But senpai, aren't you older than me?

You can learn from anyone!! No matter what the age!

And your maturity and strength show if someone older can admire you.

[ lasdjflksfjl

A shy smile, blush creeping up on his face. Also debating whether he should sink down into his seat more or not. and dammit why don't I have an icon for this ]

S-Senpai! Don't say embarrassing things like that...! [ don't believe it. He's totally loving it. ]

[ sparkle sparkle. if they were still in an anime, there'd be some kind of fantastic bishoujo rabu rabu background behind him. ]

The truth isn't embarrassing. Uwaah, so modest too!

[ with like sparkles and bubbles and rainbows and flower petals and shit right?

And saying to him like he's scolding and/or whining, ] Shuri-senpai...!

[ so many rainbows. ]

I only say the truth.

Now, Mikado, tell me more about yourself. [ this is rare. ]

Oh, me? Um... [ thinking for a bit, where to begin? ] Ah, I'm from Japan. I-It's on Earth, I don't know if you... [ don't want to be offensive now! ]

Earth?

Is it true your continents don't float?

Huh...? No, they don't. Not on water, at least.

Do yours, then?

How strange...! They float in the air, in my world.

What? In the air?! That's so... [ waa shuri-senpai that's so kakkoi, if this was a manga there'd be sparkles all around Mikado right now. ] ...I-Incredible! Your world sounds so interesting...

That's just a normal world for me. [ sparkle ore, mikado. ] Tell me more about this Japan.

[ Ah that's right, different standards of normal and stuff. ]

Oh, it's really not that interesting... It's a small island country, and everyone looks similar, and none of us have special powers, or anything.

Strange... [ he's trying hard to imagine a world like that. getting his mind around non floating continents is the hardest part. ]

[ Yes, the edge of land means water, is that strange yet. ]

Oh, ah, Masaomi is Japanese too, but he only has blond hair because he dyes it. A lot of people do, but naturally everyone has black hair.

...Um, what about your country, senpai?

[ and not a horrible fall to your death? madness. ]

Ehhh? Really? [ THE MORE YOU KNOW. He feels strangely betrayed. ]

The Empire of Barsburg. [ he's totally playing with his hair as he thinks. ] I don't think there's one set color. Blonde is most common, but I've known people with pink hair and purple hair. Blue hair. Maybe it's because we're so diverse.

[ he hops back on his other train of thought. ] It's the largest, most powerful country in all the world. We're the most technologically advanced, the most secure, and our army is the strongest.

[ Nodnoding in interest as he listens. And his eyes dart to the hair playing and he almost loses concentration for a second. No, he's good. He's listening. ]

Ooh... That sounds similar to one country in my world. [ Nodding still, trying to picture a USA floating in the air. It's not really working. ]

Really? [ the earth barsburg must be amazing~ ] How do they fight without zaiphon?

They use a lot of things, like guns and planes, missiles and bombs and such, um... I actually don't know too much, I'm sorry senpai. [ he doesn't want to disappoint! :( ]

It's alright~ You've already told me so much. [ he offers a glittering smile. ]

[ Griiiiinning back, but there are no sparkles. Then realizing that Shuri is smiling at him and ducks his head to nibble on his food. Trying to hide that blush. Yeeeaaaah.

And when he's calmed down, ]

Oh, so... um, senpai. Are you, ah... [ FIDGET FIDGET ] Are you doing anything later today?

[ SO CUTE MIKADO. sparkle sparkle. that reaction is simply adorable.

he takes a sip of his drink, watching the younger boy from over the rim of the cup. ]

Nothing at all.

[ BRIGHTENING UP! ]

S-So, if it's not too much trouble, do you... um, do you want to hang out... after this? [ Mikado does not want this to eeeeend for some reason. ]

[ he did have some plans today. mostly... actually, no. he was going to forsake his student council work in order to check out that dracula movie that mikage had talked about.

so he smiles. ]

Yes!
