Mikoto Mikoshiba

Hey! Mikoto here! I can't talk right now, but if you leave a message I'll try to get back to you. Especially if you happen to be a lovely lady. [Suddenly, muffled embarrassed noises can be heard in the background] W-why did I say that...

[ Ryoji has been running on even less rest than me, so he blinks groggily at the message when his phone buzzes back, momentarily confused because what mom? ]

don't worry, you'll see mom again soon
you've been working hard
we're all proud of you

[goen]

I wanted to catch you doing something embarrassing!

[ At least he's blindingly honest. Now move over, Mikoto. Yato's just gonna climb in through the window... ]

Leftover pizza? I'll have a slice too. Thanks!

[gnasher]

can you check if i left my skateboard on the porch? i haven't been able to find it since the move into my new place.

[mikodere]

[... Okay so this definitely wasn't his mother and now he just accidentally called a stranger 'mom'.

The longer that sinks in, the more embarrassing it is.]

shit
i want to say thank you for the nice words but I'm pretty sure you have the wrong number
you
try to get some rest too???

[appraiser]

[ "shit" is Ryoji's first clue that this isn't the person he'd meant to text, and that sure wakes him up before the next text confirms it for him
which, i'm assuming via Retrospec's invasion of privacy, Ryoji can go check and find out that it's Mikoto his text had gotten rerouted to ]

oh! Mikoto? i'm sorry if i woke you up Σ(,,oΔo,,*)
i meant to text back Minako...
your names are so similar
and i guess i was too tired to think clearly
those words are for you too though! rest well, and i'm also proud of you

[mikodere]

What the hell?! Why would you want to do something like that?!

[He embarrasses himself on a daily basis, Yato. This is nothing new. After he steps into the window, Mikoto grumbles to himself and closes the window shut.]

Oi!! Don't just go taking my food! That's rude!

[But even though he says that, his actions betray his words and he places two plates onto the nearby dining table. He warms up the rest of the pizza before stepping over to the fridge, opening it.]

You want tea, water or soda?

1/2

[mikodere]

yeah sure I'll go check it out. I was planning on saying hi to my parents, anyway.
I'll get back to you in a few about it

2/2

[mikodere]

[About two hours later, Rin will finally get another response from Mikoto.]

got your skateboard, it was on the porch like you said
i'm heading back to the apartments. are you home for me to drop it off?
oh and my parents say hi to you btw.

[mikodere]

[It takes Mikoto a few minutes to reply back to him because he's currently dying of embarrasment at sending such a lame text. Plus, he was also doing some digging to find out who this was, but it didn't take him too long to figure out when he reads the message over again.]

Ryoji? is this you?
lol now that you say that, our names are pretty similiar. I didn't know you were friends with her
it's fine, I was already awake anyhow! I hope you got enough rest
t
thanks
you too


[He's currently blushing irl because wow Ryoji was way too nice.]

[appraiser]

yes, it's me~
i've known Minako for years, so i already know she's going to laugh when she finds out i texted the wrong person...
but thank goodness that person is you!
what are you doing awake so late though?
can't sleep?

text;

[admiringly]

mikoto
why is your userpic yato?

[ this is the opposite of what she wanted?

unless....? ]

[goen]

Soda!

[ Yato isn't taking Mikoto's food... Mikoto is giving it to him freely, clearly!! And look, Yato pre-thanked him and everything.

He peeks into the adjacent rooms. Seeing no one, he eventually settles into a chair in the kitchen. ]

Not hiding any girlfriends around here, are you?

[ He knows Yuuko has a thing for Mikoto, but not if that relationship has advanced lately. Are they dating?? Does Mikoto think of her that way?? It's time to find out! ]

[mikodere]

What a small world!
I've known Minako for years as well, she's my childhood friend back from Japan.
Maybe it was fate that you texted me? ♥

[Okay now he wants to scream because he actually said that.]

yeah! I woke up in the middle of the night and I haven't been able to fall asleep since. I think it was some noise outside
what about you?

[mikodere]

that idiot is using a picture of me and is showing now signs of changing it
so for revenge
i'm using this dumb picture of him that I had saved

[In his mind, this is the best revenge ever. Totally.]

[mikodere]

[I-It's not like he's worried that Yato might not get enough to eat or anything like that!!!!

Mikoto raises his eyebrow at Yato strangely peeking into the rooms. Could he get any weirder? He finishes pouring both of them glasses of sodas, setting them on the table along with the box of pizza that just got done warming up.

He's about ready to take a bite out of the pizza, before Yato's question causes him to nearly fall off his chair. 2D girls don't count right???]

T-That would require me actually having a girlfriend to hide one! So no. Why are you even asking?

[ It doesn't help that a certain girl that he's been talking to recently entered his mind the moment Yato asked that question. His cheeks turn pink at the idea.]

Re: 2/2

[gnasher]

i'm still at the gym. you didn't have to get it -- i just wondered if it was there.

hey mikorin's parents.

[what's with doing him a solid like this... stop]

[appraiser]

[ Ryoji breathes laughter into the pillow scrunched up beneath his chin. He doesn't use hearts as much as one would expect, but he has to, for Mikoto. ]

it must be fate~ ♥
i believe in it, things like every person in the world being connected and drawn together
i was just winding down for the night but
sometimes when i can't sleep, i like to go outside and look at the sky
it's hard to see the stars in a city like this, but go look
see how bright the moon is? it's beautiful
we're looking at the same moon
and like this, everyone in the world is connected under the same sky
it makes me feel less alone and that thought helps me sleep

[goen]

[ He sees that blush... Yato sticks his face in Mikoto's, just in case Mikoto thinks Yato could possibly not be noticing. ]

So what do you think of Yuuko?

[ You better be blushing about Yuuko, mister. ]

[admiringly]

um...
are you sure this is revenge?
it doesn't seem like revenge to me

[mikodere]

i didn't mind, since I was there... minds well pick it up.

well let me know when you are done with the gym and I can stop by and drop it off

[CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP RIN.

It's not like you are his special friend or anything!!!]

[gnasher]

[ffff]

you just want to hang out at a college student's apartment, huh, so you can feel cool...

[special friends get special treatment]

[aka shitbickering]

[mikodere]

I have a cool apartment too. I don't need to be in yours to feel cool.

that's the last time I do you a favor

[HE SAYS THAT, but he will still totally do favors for Rin like the tsundere he is.

That is the best special treatment and he feels so loved because of it.]

[mikodere]

what
it's totally the best revenge!!
doesn't his face look dumb in this picture?? it's the perfect way to embarrass him!

[gnasher]

i just asked you to see if it was there! you're the one who turned it into a fetch quest.

[he could probably finish up quicker at the gym if he weren't avidly texting his special pal in this special way]

[mikodere]

you believe in fate?
the idea of fate and destiny kinda scares me. I'm not sure if I like the idea of my destiny being decided on, but maybe there are special connections that were made to be formed?
wow that's deep
very poetic

[Luckily for him, his window wasn't too far away from his bed and due to Ryoji's words, he actually steps over to look out at the night sky and the bright moon.]

you are right. the moon is really beautiful
when you say things like that
it almost makes me want to believe in things like fate and destiny
