UNIT № 1 0 7
"Yo, this is Yata!
Make the message worth my time
an' I'll get back to ya!"
[ call | text | voicemail | action ]
action
[ Oh, if she only had one friend, then that would mean-- ]
... so I guess Alibaba really wasn't your boyfriend, 'love of your life who you still had feelings for' kinda guy, huh.
[ That was kind of sad, but it's not like he could talk. What friends did he even have outside of HOMRA. ]
action 1/2
action
Is that why you were jealous?
action
[ He waves a hand as if to somehow help make himself say the word, but when that doesn't do anything he just turns his head away and keeps walking. ]
Nevermind! Not important!
action
Hey, Yata! Have you ever been in love before?
[ ...just to bring up another topic he probably doesn't want to talk about. Way to go. ]
action
Like right now, over being asked that question. ]
What?! No! Why're you asking? Have you?
action
She hides her face behind her sleeves. ]
Yes.
Mm, I just wanted to know if you did...
action
No, you're... really the only girl my age I've ever even talked to... [ Holy shit lame response. She better keep those sleeves up. ]
Uhm. What was he like, I guess?
action
He was, um... He was handsome. He was strong and intelligent... He always knew what to say. But I knew he would never love me.
You've never talked to another girl before? Really?
action
[ He actually looks at her before his next question, ] Why wouldn't he li- err, love you?
action 1/2
Because I'm the enemy? Because I'm too naive? There are a lot of reasons. Anyway, I was so stupid... I even followed him all the way to his kingdom.
[ There's sadness in the smile she gives him, but also some reassurance. ]
It's okay. I'm over it now.
Re: action
action
At least it didn't seem to bother her too much, maybe. Those thoughts aside, he manages to return the smile. ]
Haaa, you'll be waiting a while, I bet! I actually asked a guy-friend about it, you know? When I thought you liked me, about love and dating... [ He laughs about it now that it no longer applied and thus wasn't too embarrassing to think about. ]
But okay, only if you tell me when you do too.
action
Okay. [ She's never even told Alibaba that sort of thing before. She's really excited for Yata to fall in love!
... ]
Wait— [ WHAT DOES HE MEAN HE TOLD SOMEONE ABOUT HER LIKING HIM... Fortunately, she's distracted by something in the distance. ]
Ah! Isn't that the river?
action
Yeah, yeah! [ How exciting! He flashes a grin her way, ] Wanna race?
[ You know, just normal adult ideas. ]
action
I have a handicap, so you have to give me a headstart!
[ What handicap!?
They're so mature. ]
action
[ No, really?!?!
Alas, he's running after her almost immediately after she takes off. Watch out for any elbow nudges. ]
action
Yata, that's cheating!
action
[ At least it made the trip to the river seem much shorter. ]
Almost there, Kou-chan!
action
[ A few yards away from the river, she runs out of breath and starts falling behind. It won't be a surprise if she trips. ]
Yata!
[ To regain her balance and have a chance at winning, she does what Judar would do: grab the back of his shirt to slow him down. ]
action
The shirt collar chokes him up and while still running he turns his torso to face her, hands trying to knock back hers... only that it makes for really awkward running, combined through icy snow, and it's Yata that ends up tripping.
He tries to grab the back of her dress to knock her down with him too for being a cheater cheater pumpkin eater. ]
action
Kougyoku might want to get off him, though. You know, once she comes to.
Which... isn't happening yet. ]
action
... You okay?
action
Did I win?
action
Hah. Yeah, I think you won.
[ ... because she's a girl and he doesn't wanna be mean :( ]
