... Right. the "natural" look
just curious, they look pretty tasty and now I kind of want some chips

so

i thought long and hard about it
i think

[There's a five minute delay before Mikoto sends his next message.]

I'm going to keep the picture I'm using

it captures your esscence!

[At Yato's question, Mikoto grows silent and looks down at his cup. He hadn't really thought about it. Deep down, he knew full well that she wasn't hanging around him just to be polite or because she felt sorry for him. It was that she genuinely enjoyed being around him.

It made him happy, beyond happy, even. He was just scared.
N-No I...

Cat really has got his tongue... or in this case, Yuuko.]

I mean, I think I knew that but I'm just... really nervous. [He sighs, knowing that he sounds like the most pathetic guy ever. Especially in front of Yato, of all people.] I've never gotten close with a girl this quick and I... don't really know what to do. The last thing I want to do is make her feel weird and I'm scared I'm going to scare her away from me.

[The age thing didn't help either.]

Y-Yeah I'm fine...

[Thank goodness for Chiyo. Even though he can't see her face, when he feels her touch he's instantly relieved.

Slowly he starts to stand up, trying to avoid the broken flower pot pieces.]

No worries, Chiyo! I'm fine and I've dealt with much worse cuts than these in all my years of working with flowers. If anything, you checking up on me has already healed my wounds.

[He may or may not trying to act brave in the dark.]

hmmm

no I didn't!

the only strange thing that happened to me was that I received a text that wasn't meant for me and the text that I was planning on sending to my mom ended up going to someone else. Did anything like that happen to you?

[Because he cares for you so much Rin!!]

Goals are a tricky thing to start and accomplish
if you don't mind me asking, what are they? And what's causing you not to approach

wow sorry
I sound like one of those tv therapists, y'know like Dr.Phil?

Edited 2017-03-30 06:02 (UTC)

Chiyo...

thank you!! thank you for everything!!
i'll do my best, i'm negl i'm nervous as hell but your words have given me encouragement

y
yeah that's true
sad but true I'll... try not to get ahead of myself

[But he will.]

YEAH
I got this!! Thanks you giving me a boost!!

[ He gives Mikoto an Extremely Dubious look. ]

... I don't even have to entertain that thought, because you'd never have the guts to do it.

[ For some reason, Yato is in the business of calling his friends out on their threats. Walk up to him and suddenly pull him into a kiss, Mikoto. He dares you. ]

I promise I'll think about feeling threatened by it once you've kissed someone of your own volition.

[ Ugh. Fine. Stupid Mikoto. ]

For someone so good at floral arrangements, your eye sure stinks
But that's fine. Two can play at this game.

[ aaand yato out ]

[ It's okay, Mikoto. You always sound like the most pathetic guy ever to Yato so this is nothing groundbreaking.

Yato is so straightforward about his feelings that he doesn't get this kind of talk at all... He leans back in his chair and sips on his soda while he listens. ]

What's there to do? Just keep being yourself around her. And if you think something needs to change, then change it! The problem with timid guys like you is that you're afraid to fail. No risk, no reward.

[Mikoto just stares at him.

And continues to stare at him, as if that will help prove his point.

Because it doesn't and now he's just getting even more embarrassed that he even suggested such a thing.]

Okay maybe you are right about that... but geez, I want to know why you would even do this to begin with! And don't give me some weird mathematical explanation! It doesn't make any sort of sense.

[Then something dawns on him. He was certain this had to be it.]

Are you... drunk?

[Wow rude!! He's so offended!!!!

But in all honesty, as much as it killed him (Okay not really) to agree with Yato, he had to admit, he had a point. Even though he hated his shy timid self, if he were to start any kind of romantic relationship, he had to be himself.]

Yeah, you're right.

[It was a simple response but for once, he didn't have anything insulting to say, or fire back with an over the top reaction. Maybe it was the topic of this conversation that was making him feel calm, but even if he rarely showed his apprecation towards Yato, he had to admit.

He really did appreciate that the other male took the time the time to talk to him like this.]

You know, you say some pretty cool things once in a while.

No way. Even if I were, like hell would I think about kissing you for kicks!

[ He smacks Mikoto's hand away and... starts walking off... ]

Don't overthink it. Night!

"Once in a while"? I'm all cool, all the time!

[ no

He points a pizza slice at Mikoto. ]

You know why I bother talking to you, Mikoto? It's 'cause you're a decent guy -- and sure as hell not because I'm taken in by your cheesy pick-up lines. If you can get me to think you're good enough, then you're probably good enough.

[ Realtalk... Yato knows he can have a hard time making friends. So the few he does have is head and shoulders above the rest, as far as he's concerned. ]

[ Chiyo offers him support while he stands, giving him her hand to lift himself up if he wants it. ]

I know you deal with thorns and other things, but that doesn't mean it's not bad every time you get cut.

[ She was going to let him brave it out, but then he started using his flowery words. She's not sure if she wants to wait for his embarrassment to settle in. ]

And... aren't you afraid of the dark?

[ She's a little worried. ]

it's ok!
we can practice if you want
so you have some idea of what to say
instead of saying the first thing that will come out of your mouth?

do your best! you got this!

[No is right and Mikoto is just going to give him the most dubious look ever.]

Somehow, I feel flattered and insulted at the same time.

[Only Yato can pull off such a feat. But despite his expression, he really does feel grateful for what he had to say. It causes him to considerably cheer up, and he goes back to looking at Yato with how he normally looks at him.

Annoyance.

But there also might have been a hint of happiness mixed in with that. Maybe.]

Regardless... thanks. [He frowns, feeling really really embarrassed to admit this outloud.] I might be uh, feeling better now thanks to you. ... Maybe.

[To bad (???) that it's dark, or else Chiyo would have been treated with the most pathetic looking expression on his face ever.]

I...

[He's quiet for a few moments. As if he were hesitating to speak. But he realized, it's not like he had anything to hide from Chiyo? They've known each other since they were little, after all.]

Y-Yeah, I am. Only because it's so scary!! I mean, w-who wouldn't be afraid of the dark?! You won't know what's lurking around the corner!

[Much braver people than you, Mikoto. Please get a hold of yourself.]

would you really practice with me?
thanks a lot chiyo!!
you are the best friend that anyone can ever ask for

THANKS! now thanks to you, I have some confidence

[ Yato picks up on that tiny bit of happiness... and doesn't comment on it directly for once because this is the man code. Men don't acknowledge that they feel sissy things like happiness!! ]

Of course! Who do you think you're talking to? You don't have to tsun-tsun with me, Miko-chan!

[ but men can call each other out on being tsunderes i guess ]

Boss,

This is just a heads up that I'm going to be turning my phone off entirely for a week. To help figure out if this app is responsible for the strangeness we experience.

To make sure I am still around for work, I will stop by and check in every day in the morning, regardless if I'm not scheduled. That way, if you need me for a shift you can still get me. Is that ok?

[ The only reason Chiyo isn't super scared is because Mikoto is there, and it's easier to keep it together because of him. When he freaks out, it makes her calmer somehow. ]

The dark is scary, but you know this flower shop like the back of your hand, don't you? It'll be okay. I'm sure the power will come back on soon. Recolle's not some old country town.

of course! i'm here for you!
you're also the best friend anyone could ever ask for! ♡´･ᴗ･`♡

we just need to make sure you keep that confidence

don't watch that kind of crap, you'll get weird ideas...
