Eh? You need to talk to me, Kyon?

In that case, would you like to come to my room and talk?

[a_normal_human]

Yesofcourse!

*cough* I'll...be right over.

*a few minutes later - knock knock*

CALM DOWN, ME. There is nothing at all exciting about visiting a girl's room. Just like there's nothing exciting about winning the lottery three times in a row.

I wonder if it's covered in pink things... Naw, she probably hasn't lived here long enough. Duh.

1/3

[chronoslip]

Ah? Who is it?

*cracks the door a little*

2/3

[chronoslip]

K-Kyon!! *slams it shut in his face*

Ah, um, p-please wait a minute, I need to clean up!!

3/3

[chronoslip]

*lots of shuffling noises, Mikuru shrieks, a bunch of tumbling noises, before Mikuru fully opens the door, out of breath*

Ah.. ah.. Come in, please!

[a_normal_human]

I'm, uh...sorry to barge in like this... *comes in* I should've announced myself.

[chronoslip]

*shakes her head* It's alright, Kyon. I'm the one who invited you over, so I should have prepared earlier...

Ah, please have a seat! Um, well, you can sit on the bed. I-Is there anything that I can get for you, Kyon? Th-Though, I don't have any food or drinks in here... B-But I could run to the cafeteria and get you something if you'd like! Is there anything that you want?

[a_normal_human]

*holds up hands* No, no, I'm fine, really! *sits on her bed* ...Mikuru-san sleeps here. Right HERE.

*brings himself back to focus* If you don't mind, I think I'll go ahead and address what I wanted to talk to you about. It's nothing really earth-shattering, but... The thing is, I regained some memories recently.

It seems that we've met before.

[chronoslip]

*blink blink*

Ehh? A-Are you sure? But.. what does that mean, Kyon?

[a_normal_human]

Basically, even though we don't remember it, I believe we went to the same school. I didn't remember much, but I do know that I knew a Mikuru Asahina; you.

*holds up hands* I don't mean to put any pressure on you or anything, I just thought that it'd be best to let you know anything that might be of use to you.

[chronoslip]

I see... You remembered knowing me... *thinks silently for a moment*

Do you remember what kind of relationship we had before?

[a_normal_human]

*blinks* *blushes* *scratches his chin thoughtfully* W-well, to be honest, I don't know.

For the time being, there's not much we can do about it, so...I'd like to continue being your friend, Mikuru-san, if that's all right.

Past girlfriend it's gotta be a past girlfriend please be my past girlfriend oh please

[chronoslip]

*frowning quite a bit now* Are you sure that you'd still like to be friends with someone like me? You remember knowing me in school, but... I can't remember anything about you at all, Kyon, no matter how hard I try.

*rambling now*What if you were a very important person to me, but I'm never able to remember you? Or what if it turns out that one of us remembers bad things about each other? Or what if I were supposed to protect you without you finding out about me? Or...

[[OOC: Feel free to have him interrupt her.]]

[a_normal_human]

*laughs nervously* Mikuru-san, please don't worry about it! There can't be anything *that* crazy happening in our past, anyway; we're just normal high schoolers, as far as I can see.

Urge to put a hand on her shoulder rising. Urge stopped dead by a wall called Social Boundaries and Nerves.

I won't mind even if you never remember me. The important thing is that we know each other now, right?

Being cool in front of a cute girl is easier than I thought! Sweet.

[chronoslip]

*ridiculously sweet, heart stealing, logic melting, innocent smile* Yes... You're right, Kyon. What matters is that we're friends right now.

[a_normal_human]

Somewhere, music is playing. I'll tip the musicians with the extra chunk of my paycheck I don't need. That, or use it to take Mikuru-san out on a date.

But...I can't even move my mouth.

*like, seriously, is brain-dead almost as he stares blankly at Mikuru*
