Flaily neko anyone?

[ex_rubberducks363]

Don't take my cap! I don't care if you think I look cuter! Do you know how long it takes for me to tuck my hair under...?

[Mei fidgets and fusses until she looks like, well, a little boy again.]

Mimuro prefers me like this. I know what he said, but...

[She can't take any risks.]

You said Nisei was here? He's dangerous. Stay away from him if you're smart. Mimuro isn't smart. That's why he keeps falling for him.

[...] But not like that! At least I don't think so.

[She's so jealous it hurts.]

[in_loveless_memory]

I can't stand Nisei. I can't believe your friend likes him.

[ex_rubberducks363]

... [Uh oh. The enemy!] Well Mimuro isn't very smart sometimes.

[in_loveless_memory]

Clearly if he enjoys Nisei's company.

[ex_rubberducks363]

He said he feels bad for him.

[That's whispered.]

I dunno what that means. I wish he would go away.

[in_loveless_memory]

He feels bad for him? [He scowls.] He deserves exactly what he gets.

[ex_rubberducks363]

Mimuro has been friends with him for years. [It's a little more complicated than she's making it.] Has he hurt you?

[in_loveless_memory]

Not me, or at least not outright. You?

[ex_rubberducks363]

He hogs Mimuro. [And that hurts her. She isn't a very secure little girl.]

[in_loveless_memory]

Hog, maybe, but doesn't he always come back to you? At the end of the day, aren't you his most important person?

[ex_rubberducks363]

He says I am, but I'm not so sure.

[in_loveless_memory]

Why aren't you sure? [Ritsuka already knows he's not the most important person to his fighter... either of them.]

[ex_rubberducks363]

I'm...a lot younger than him. What if he gets bored with me? I like Mimuro a lot! I'm trying to learn bigger words!

[in_loveless_memory]

Then he's an idiot. Simply because you're young isn't a reason to lose interest.

[ex_rubberducks363]

You really think so?

[in_loveless_memory]

I know so. I've met plenty of adults far worse than kids. That doesn't mean you should stop improving yourself though.

[ex_rubberducks363]

I do my lessons everyday! Even if Mimuro doesn't think so.

[in_loveless_memory]

You need more than just lessons to improve.

[ex_rubberducks363]

Like what?

[in_loveless_memory]

You can't learn to be more confident by lessons. You're hiding your long hair under your hat because you don't like your own long hair.

[ex_rubberducks363]

You don't know why I don't like...

[This is embarrassing!]

I wish I wasn't a girl.

[in_loveless_memory]

Why?

[ex_rubberducks363]

Because Mimuro likes boys better.

I think.

[in_loveless_memory]

You think, but you don't know for sure?

screeches <3

[complications]

This again? [Sorry he's just going to take that cap right back off.] When willI you ever learn to listen to me?

[He sighs, but smiles all the same.]

>-< <333

[ex_rubberducks363]

N-No! [Okay she's lying.] Are you sure you like me better with long hair?

[complications]

Long hair is fine! [Nisei has long hair too, he'd like to point out... but that wouldn't really help the real issue. ]

You remember what I said, don't you? [She did pay attention to at least some of it right...?]

[ex_rubberducks363]

And me being a girl...? [Her ears droop and she nods.] I remember everything you say, Mimuro.

[It's just that she's young and she tends to be so emotional that she blocks out his words.]

He's dangerous. I don't want him to hurt you.

[complications]

... [He sighs again.] Are you afraid?

[ex_rubberducks363]

...no.

[complications]

Really? [Not quite convinced...]

[ex_rubberducks363]

I'm fearless.
