[peachyandkeen]

Being a few years late is not too bad! What's important is that you were able to appreciate everyone's passion and hard work!

Hmm . . . think we'll bump into anyone we know? [A thoughtful pause.] That would be nice, wouldn't it? I'd love to run into anyone from home - even Nigou! [A giggle.]

Comments

[peachyandkeen]

I know you like being in the shadows, but that can't be fun, can it? [Satsuki pouted, clinging to his arm more tightly.] Aren't you lonely all by yourself there?

[She perked up at the mention of other people she knew.] Of course I'm interested! I want to say hi!

[imperceptibly]

It's quite lively in here. There are many other characters my mun plays, so I'm not that lonely.

[...]

Although I did miss talking with somebody from my world. So...thank you, Momoi-san. As for other people from our world, they will probably appear sooner or later. You can also search for them in those "memes" that are so popular with muns.

[peachyandkeen]

Of course it's different when you're chatting with someone you know and have shared your ups and downs with!

[She beamed up at him.]

No, thank you, Tetsu-kun! Without you, well . . . [Her voice softened.] Everyone would still be lost in their own worlds, I think. [She laid her head on his shoulder affectionately.] Not to mention in their own egos. [She let out a soft laugh.]

Mm! I saw some people on these memes. I hope we can hang out and play basketball sometime!

[imperceptibly]

Well, it helped that they weren't entirely closed off to moving ahead...

[Forgive him. Kuroko doesn't really know how to respond to compliments. He seems a little more cheerful than when he first appeared, however.]

I'm sure you will. Does your mun have specific plans for you?

[peachyandkeen]

I'm sure a part of them wanted basketball to be fun again.

[And without Kuroko, they wouldn't have realized it.]

Not right now, no. She's really busy, so the fact that she even had time to set up my account was a miracle. [Satsuki laughed.] Right now, she just wants me to talk to everyone, which is fine by me! [Cue the warm squeeze to his hand.]

What about you, Tetsu-kun? Does your writer have anything planned for you?

[imperceptibly]

Oh, then everything's okay.

[He's muttering that for himself more than anything else. He was going to warn Momoi because sometimes muns are kind of weird, to put it nicely, but luckily she doesn't seem to be in danger right now.]

Me? No, not really. I'm on standby until she sees somebody who looks interesting for me to talk to.

[peachyandkeen]

Hm? What do you mean? [She gave him a curious glance.]

Ah~! Tetsu-kun~! Does that mean you think I'm interesting? [You can practically see the hearts in her eyes.]

[imperceptibly]

Of course you're an interesting person. My mun thinks so too, and that's why we're talking right now.

[The words flow freely from his mouth, as if it was obvious for him. For this reason, it's probably pretty noticeable when he hesitates before answering her other question.]

Muns aren't usually very nice, so I thought maybe you were going to be in trouble. But if she doesn't have concrete plans, I think you'll be okay.

[peachyandkeen]

Tetsu-kun~! ♥ [The way she says his name indicates that she's 100% head over heels.]

Oh, mine's not the type to start drama just for the heck of it. She says she's too old for that nonsense. [Have a wrinkle of her nose.]

Don't tell me yours is like that? [Satsuki's eyes widened in distress.]

[imperceptibly]

No, mine says the same thing about the drama. But...

[How does he explain this in a non-embarrassing way??]

...she's kind of strange. Or rather, the things she has made me do are. I wouldn't want you to go through the same thing.

[peachyandkeen]

[She looked at him expectantly.]

Like?

[imperceptibly]

In different occasions, she has injured me, dressed me in girly clothes and made me get drunk, all for the sake of her "threads". There are also other inappropriate things I don't even want to mention in front of a girl.

Basically, I wouldn't wish a mun like mine on anybody.

1 / 3

[peachyandkeen]

That sounds -

2 / 3

[peachyandkeen]

W-Wait!

Inappropriate things?!

3 / 3

[peachyandkeen]

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M HEARING THIS!

[Why are you not doing these inappropriate things with me, Tetsu-kun
I mean]

[SHE'S NOT READY FOR THIS.]

[imperceptibly]

[He can still do them with you, Momoi, wink wink.

Wait, no!]

I'm sorry...

[He really sounds apologetic. And embarrassed.]

I shouldn't have told you that. I just want you to know what these people are capable of making us do.

[peachyandkeen]

I-It's not your fault!

[Satsuki was blushing head to toe. Don't tempt her like that Tetsu-kun! She's going to combust!!!]

I know, I mean - I did my research, but -

[It was one thing to know that the probability existed, and it was another thing to hear it confirmed from somewhat she knew!!!]

So you . . .

[She fidgeted.]

[imperceptibly]

[So she knew. It wasn't necessary to warn her.

Why does embarrassing stuff like this keep happening to him?!]

...yes.

[He's not looking at her in the eye now, thanks.]

[peachyandkeen]

[Well, this was awkward, and Satsuki suddenly felt weird clinging to him like a barnacle.]

[She could practically hear the crickets chirping in the background.]

As long as Tetsu-kun is happy and safe, then -

[She put on a brave face, but she felt her cheeks scrunching up into a grimace. She was not going to bawl about it, for goodness' sake! He was always the one comforting her, and he certainly couldn't do that this time - how unnatural would that be?!]

[imperceptibly]

[Perceptive as he is, Kuroko notices Momoi's state immediately and lifts his head, extending one hand until it touches her cheek.]

Please, don't make that face. I know it's strange, so you don't have to pretend it's okay.

Just...be careful, okay? It wouldn't be nice for a girl like you to end up in a similar situation.

[He's mostly talking about the circumstances surrounding the incident, not the act itself, but still.]

[peachyandkeen]

Mm, I'll be fine, Tetsu-kun!

[She'd always tried to stand up on her own two feet after he gave her a shoulder to cry on, and this time was no different. Satsuki did her best to give him a smile what was more cheerful than she felt.]

[Honestly, she didn't even know why she was so upset. Was it jealousy? Anger on his behalf? Loneliness, now he had gone on to experience things she hadn't? All of the above?]

[Being a teenage girl with feelings was hard.]

[imperceptibly]

[Feelings are the worst, really.]

You're a very strong person, Momoi-san. I admire that about you.

[If this situation was reversed, he would probably be at a loss for words, after all. Even now, he's silently thanking whatever higher power is in charge of his fate because, at least, Momoi isn't asking about the details.]

[peachyandkeen]

[She didn't want to be scarred for life, so nope, she wasn't going to ask. Besides, finding out who he'd been with was probably going to make her go bananas with even more jealousy.]

I'm not really that strong, I think.

[She was kind of a crybaby . . .]

But thanks for saying so.

So . . . who else have you met from home?

[imperceptibly]

[A change of subject. What a wonderful idea!]

Hm...well, all of the Miracles tend to be around. Kagami-kun seems to be pretty popular as well. I'm not sure if you'll find other people nowadays, but this place is really unpredictable, so who knows?

[He has even seen Hanamiya of all people being played by one or two of these writers.]

[peachyandkeen]

[She let out a sigh.]

I hope Dai-chan isn't getting into too much trouble!

What about Nigou? Is he here too?
