EVENT THREAD: Wondering

[sevencolorgems]

*There is a point in the middle of the night where the weight of worry and insomnia seems to shift from dwelling on how long you have been lying awake since bedtime toward how little time it's going to be until you're doomed to survive another day. Johan figures that the shift begins somewhere between three and three-thirty in the morning. He

*An odd note about Hikari: Despite wearing elaborate dresses and the like, she moves around absolutely silently, like a fucking ninja. So it's sometimes almost impossible to notice her presence before she calls attention to herself... like by speaking.

By this point, she had heard Johan leave, and decided to follow him. She'd actually been tailing him for a while, yet as she got there, she waited for a while to see what he was up to. After he sat for a while, she finally spoke up:*

... What are you doing...?

[sevencolorgems]

*Johan jumps a bit, at least expecting a little WARNING from people, like footsteps or something, geez wtf Hikari. D:*

Ah, geez... sorry, Hikari. I couldn't sleep. Did I wake you?

[sees_the_light]

No... I didn't sleep either.

*I'm a gooddamn ninja. ... also, uh. That last line from the last post was not supposed to be italicized. HTML failure. orz*

[sevencolorgems]

Ah... alright.

I was just out here thinking about something. It wasn't keeping me awake or anything; I don't know what was, to be honest, but this in particular hasn't been bothering me so much for me to lose sleep over it. I've actually been considering it for a while now, though...

[sees_the_light]

... What is it?

[sevencolorgems]

Well... you know Ayumi has a crush on me, right?

*The words don't sound disdainful; more thoughtful than anything.*

[sees_the_light]

*... Both 'Ayumi' and 'crush' are completely lost on her.*

[sevencolorgems]

......

What?

*Johan blinks, not sure which part confused her.*

[sees_the_light]

... This... 'Ayumi' is trying to crush you...?

*2 + 2 = fish?*

[sevencolorgems]

*He stares blankly for a second, and then laughs a bit.*

No, no, it's just another way to say... she's in love with me.

[sees_the_light]

... Oh...

[sevencolorgems]

...So, I was just thinking, maybe I should give being with her a chance.

[sees_the_light]

... Why...?

[sevencolorgems]

I think... being in her position for a little while put things into perspective for me. I finally knew what she had been feeling for a while now...

...Besides, it wouldn't hurt anything to try. Love's supposed to develop over time, right? It doesn't just happen, as far as I know.

[sees_the_light]

...

*She's in deep thought now.*

[sevencolorgems]

...Have you ever been in love with someone, Hikari?
