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...

[ Ring ring goes his phone at half past ten. ]

Good morning, Mikoto!

[ It's a weekday. ]

[It's February 14th! Early enough before the blind dates have started, Anya was busy.

At Enchanted Blossoms, Mikoshiba will find a little bit more than most. There's an assortment of little pouches filled with heart-shaped macarons, about 6 or 7 each. Mikoto's pouch seems to have about 10 in it, actually?! If you get there early enough, they might even still be warm. There's a neat little card addressed to him written in Anya's neat and short hand-writing:]

Happy Valentine's Day!
Please know that I adore you too.
I know this might be a bit to ask, but could you hold onto some of these for others too?
I'll let them know to pick it up!
Thank you so much.
And I gave you a little bit extra too, I hope you like it!
Maybe we're a little closer to even now?

- Anya ♡

[Well. Better to ask forgiveness than permission.

The little extra that she's talking about happens to be a small phone charm that reminded her of him.

The macarons have their own little messages instead of the classic Sweetheart Conversations, customized based on whoever Anya's giving them to. This batch reads:]

WARM
THANK YOU
CHARMING
SWEET
ARTIST

[A thin square package with floral wrapping paper will be in Mikoto's mailbox by the time he gets home. It includes a cutely hand-decorated and sticker laden card that reads:]

Otsukaresama~ I knew you'd be busy at work today, so I decided not to both you by dropping by, but I owe you lunch this weekend to make up for it! Happy birthday, Mikoto! Another year of celebrating your birthday is another year of friendship to add to our count, and I'm very grateful to be able to do that. Thank you for being with me through so much, and here's to many, many more birthdays we can smile together for.

--Minako ♥

[The gift inside is a certain limited edition release of a video game from Japan that includes a poster of the main characters and a redemption code for the DLCs.]

Hey you're that flower guy right?
Mikowhatever?

are you around the old neighborhood? i need a favour.

it's rin.

[duh.........]

[ whenever mikorin checks the mail of the flower shop he works at, he will see a manila envelope. when he opens it, he'll find. well.

karkat did say he would send one. ]

[ You know who's snooping around Mikoto's place? This guy.

It's a chilly evening. Yato's restless and bored, and he feels like being nosy. Those are really the only reasons he needs to trespass on Mikoto's property?? So he quietly pokes the top of his head into a lit window and peers into whatever room he happens to chance upon. Mikotooooo... ]

i love you. try to get some rest, alright? goodnight!

mikoto
why is your userpic yato?

[ this is the opposite of what she wanted?

unless....? ]

What the hell? If you want to use a picture of me, at least choose a better one.
And why are you flinging your underwear around at Chiyo's?

[ Well, Yato fucked up.

He needs to sleep, but there's something on his mind. He's too restless to stay lying down for long, so he's taken to wandering the moonlit streets of Recollé, simultaneously trying to think about a solution to his problem and trying to block the problem out of his mind completely.

Is this guilt? Maybe this is what guilt feels like. He can deal with getting punched, yelled at, or scolded, but Yato does not like feeling guilty. He has to do something about it, or else he'll be up all night...

...

And so, Yato shows up at Mikoto's house. On the doorstep like a normal person, even. He rings the doorbell... ]

[ Wherever they are, as soon as the power goes out, Chiyo screams from the abruptness, more from surprise than fear. She reaches out with one hand for something solid: a wall, a table, Mikoto, anything. ]

M-Mikoto? Where are you? Do you have your phone?

[ She stumbles in the darkness as her eyes adjust, trying to find her purse where her own phone is. ]

don't take your phone out in public. the app's broken, and you have an embarrassing life.

yo. i need to borrow one of your games.

[how can this be asked in the most indirect way possible]

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?
