[ peeking at his texts as he heads over... izumi says he doesn't have to run but he sure is jogging so, ]
So all we have to do to change your personality is cut your hair? That's kind of like those high school movies where the main girl gets a makeover and becomes super popular. All of Miyamura-kun's friends sound pretty nice though...~ Suou didn't seem like he had a lot of friends, or he didn't really consider them friends? But I'm sure they didn't feel the same way, haha.
No, it's not like that I talked to Mao about this a while back... I can't say for sure, but I think Miyamura cut his hair to signify that he wanted to change himself That he wanted to leave his gloomy self behind and stop hiding behind his hair Or he learned to like himself after he met Hori-san I'm not that bold yet, but maybe someday
But yeah, I like everyone I've remembered a lot I wish I could meet them, but who knows? Maybe they're all in Recolle already with different names and faces
Out of all of the people from Yumenosaki you've told me about, Suou didn't think they were friends?
That's just the feeling I get. He wanted to get along and be close to his unitmates, of course. He respected and admired them, just like he did a few of his other seniors... But he fought with someone his own age and only stopped when someone he wanted to impressed called him out on it in a fairly passive-aggressive way, and the other person he was familiar with he didn't seem to be too thankful about having around? And then even if he knew Yuta-kun, it didn't seem like... from what I remembered about him, it didn't seem very, um... Like, they're surface-level details, basically. Nothing too deep. So... That's just what I've gathered. I don't really have any memories that say one way or the other though.
So that's how it is. I guess it's because I'm not getting your memories, but it's hard to imagine a version of you that thinks so differently about people, unless he just hasn't shown it yet I mean... we've both had our trouble getting close to people in the past, but
Instead of imagining Suou as "Tsukasa with slight differences", maybe I should think of him like "someone who looks and sounds like Tsukasa but has only a few things in common with his personality"
He's... something for sure. I wonder if I could've turned out like that...
[ actually tsukasa,
no never mind. he's finally at the beach, so... phew. he'll kick off his sandals and make the rest of the way down barefoot, letting them swing from his fingers as he texts. the sparkles are tucked under his arm—two boxes, plus a lighter in his pocket. ]
I've arrived ♪ Let's set off some fireworks! Or, well, sparklers, I guess, but Technically they're still fireworks right....?
But Izumi won't say any more on that, far more interested that Tsukasa's finally arrived. He's been on the beach for a few minutes now, sitting down by the shore and staring out into the waves between texts, but he's quick to stand up and turn back to look for Tsukasa upon receiving the next messages.
Given that it's nighttime, the beach is quiet and devoid of people, so it isn't hard to spot the figure headed down in his general direction.]
Tsukasa!
[Calling out rather loudly, he waves one arm and walks a little closer.]
...Thanks for coming out all this way. I'm really glad to see you.
[ Ah, Izumi ♪ Tsukasa hurries his steps a bit, tossing a box of sparklers at Izumi as soon as they're close enough that he's pretty sure he isn't going to like, fuck up on catching it. ]
Of course. What else are friends for? [ besides, he wanted to, so... ] Come on, come on ♪ Let's have a good time and forget our worries, fufu.
[ They... could also talk about that stuff if they wanted to but. Well, he'll let that happen on its own, if it does. There's a big jump between confessing things over text than face-to-face, so. ]
[Somehow, Izumi wasn't quite expecting a box of sparklers to be tossed his way, but he does manage to catch them without any trouble.]
I really owe you one. [Not that he's actually keeping track, but hey. Grin a little mild, he opens the box just enough to pull out one sparkler, twirling it between his fingers.] It's been so long since I did anything like this.
[He isn't going to tell Tsukasa that he and Mao talked about lighting sparklers on their birthdays, but not being on Retrospec won't change that, at least. Besides, he's genuinely excited to light these, childish as it may seem.]
[ Izumi doesn't owe him anything; honestly, spending time together is as much of a distraction for him as it is for ... him. He pulls out two sparkles, holding the metal ends in his mouth as he closes the box and steps forward a couple more steps, fiddling with a lighter... okay.
He's not gonna light them while they're in his mouth, that is Stupid? He takes them out and flicks the on, holding it out to Izumi first. ]
That's a shame. Though, I guess I only ever do this sort of thing around New Year's or Obon... [ ahh, obon. He looks a little sorrowful, then shakes his head a bit. ] Well, I guess Obon's nearly upon us anyway. We're not doing anything special with our shrine this year—there's other things to... There's other things we're considering.
[ ... ]
Anyway~. [ He lights his own after a moment, back to smiling at the colors. ] We should do this more often, is what I'm hearing. And saying. Maybe next time we can invite more of our friends, and have a little beach party~?
[Of course, he logically knows that neither of them owe each other for friendship, but the sentiment matters more than anything.
Tsukasa looks a little silly with the sparklers in his mouth, though, and Izumi nearly reaches out to flick one of them with his finger before they're removed before he gets the chance. Darn. De-walrused.]
...You know, if you need to talk about something, I'm all ears.
[Since it's clear that Tsukasa has been acting a little strange lately. He won't press more than that, though, and lights his sparkler... which in turn makes him brighten considerably.]
Whoa... It's been forever since I've done this. I didn't think it would still bring me so much joy. [He laughs just a little under his breath, nudging his sparkler a little closer to Tsukasa's so they flicker beside each other.] Yeah. I've never had a beach party before, but there's no better time to start, right?
[Now that he has friends. Many, many dear friends.]
[ He couldn't. It's family things, family worries, and— for all he complains about no one really talking about anything, he's. really. no better. He doesn't talk about his memories with his fellow idols, he doesn't talk about what's bothering him with pretty much anyone...
His smile wanes into something smaller, watching their sparklers. This is good enough, anyway. ]
There isn't. Ufufu, let's see... Chitan and Daipai are definitely coming... Should we invite people off of Retrospec too? [ Their main heartache right now, really, but. ] I think Mafutan would have a lot of fun with...
