[RL with Itsuki- Do you feel lucky? Well? Do ya, punk?]

[menial_tasks]

*Kyon was pacing all over the first floor of his house, randomly kicking out at things on occasion and mumbling under his breath.*

...got the nerve to smile about this...

*It seems that he's not going to be calming down any time soon.*

[ Itsuki knocks on the front door. He's not exactly looking forward to this meeting, but he needs his missed homework before he can resume his normal life, and if he waits for Kyon to forgive him he'll be out of school until the next ice age. ]

[menial_tasks]

*Kyon turns, sighs, and opens the door with more force than is really called for. He was already glaring, and when he sees who it is he grits his teeth and tightens his free hand into a fist.*

Yeah?

*Clearly, he's not feeling polite.*

[smilingtransfer]

[ Oh dear. Best to get in and out as quickly as possible. ]

I came for my homework.

[menial_tasks]

*Crosses his arms and glares. He steps aside, implying some permission to enter.*

It's in the living room, next to the table lamp.

[smilingtransfer]

[ Nods and steps past him, slipping his shoes off at the entrance. He pauses a little way inside. ]

I'm not asking for forgiveness.

[menial_tasks]

*His fingers are digging into his arm. Every second Itsuki's there it becomes harder for him to stay almost kind of calm.*

You're not getting it.

[smilingtransfer]

[ Itsuki's feeling rather tense himself, but it's not as if he's showing it. ]

Then do feel free to explain.

[menial_tasks]

*He struggles to get the words out around the anger.*

He was important to her. She promised him she'd never forget him! She-

*His volume is increasing, soon he'll be shouting.*

It's not like before, when we took away her memory of being god, that was just making things like they were, and she wanted it in the end...She'd never want this!

[smilingtransfer]

[ And Itsuki is maddeningly calm, as always ]

...I know she wouldn't.

[menial_tasks]

*Very much yelling now.*

So how can you do it?!

[smilingtransfer]

[ A pause before he turns around to look at him ]

Because some things are more important than personal desires.

[menial_tasks]

*Which is true. And Kyon knows it.

...But that's not stopping him from taking a swing at Itsuki's pretty-boy face.*

[smilingtransfer]

[ He can't say he wasn't half-expecting something like that but he doesn't make any particular moves to defend himself, and the punch connects squarely with his nose, sending him stumbling backwards ]

[menial_tasks]

*Ow. Bruised knuckles are suspected here. But damn, that was satisfying. He stands shaking his hand out.*

We're supposed to be there for her. We're supposed to be friends.

*And he stomps off to his room.*

[smilingtransfer]

[ Brings his hands up to his nose; he's started to bleed and he tries gingerly to keep it from getting everywhere without actually touching his face, as he opens his mouth to call after him. ]

...

[ But he can't quite think of anything to say, and Kyon's gone anyway, so he just goes over to collect his homework. ]

(( ...I think Kyon's just going to steam in his room now. Continue or not? ))
