It kind of just happens naturally I feel like...?

Although you know now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever actually learned some of the stuff you like? That might be a good starting point if we're specifically looking to do this :|a

[beheaded]

Naturally, through conversation and such...

That's going to take too long. I don't want to do it that way.

[ RIDDLE ]

You have a point... I'm not used to sharing things about myself, and to be honest, I'm still learning to enjoy recreational things.

To start with, I like a lot of the same things the Queen of Hearts did. Roses, croquet, tea parties, solving mysteries...

[ and high heels, but he's not ready for that conversation. ]

I like hedgehogs a lot too, and I've become close to the horses in equestrian club as well. I'm finding that I like animals in general.

[areyuuserious]

[Somehow, that's precisely what Yuu expected and they can't help but laugh. Impatient as ever, huh...]

I'm not exactly the most open myself sometimes, so...

I've always been pretty fond of roses myself, too, and I'm starting to like tea parties

And animals are pretty great!

Fine, fine, fifteen minutes

But once those fifteen minutes are up...

LEAPS IN HERE 🌞

[cursing]

﴾ Can't talk now, Yuu! He's too busy shaking down this entire party for a chunky eyeliner. By the time they get here, he's going to be the prettiest mess on the Isle. ﴿

✨

[areyuuserious]

[Fifteen minutes later and here they are!! Tracking down Jamil doesn't take too long at least.

There he is, the absolute prettiest mess. Even as much of a mess as he is, he still manages to look great and Yuu can't help but be a little jealous. Or maybe just mad? Honestly, who allowed this!!!!]

Alright, are you ready to get out of here?

[They're just going to. Squint at this text when they get it.]

Uhhhh hang on let me check

Wait WHY do you need it

[flameinthedarkness]

Because I ran out. [Duh. What? Even he knows it's not normal to just go asking for someone to tear the copper wiring out of their walls for no good reason.]

I'll replace it once I get a new delivery in.

[areyuuserious]

Okay so the dorm has it but I don't trust myself to remove it safely

Also when do you expect to get the new delivery in, how many days should Grim and I be looking to crash elsewhere

See you soon!

[dealer]

[Ten minutes go by and Azul just gets out of the car, telling Jade he doesn't need to wait for him, before taking his phone out.]

I'm here, where are you?

[areyuuserious]

I'm waiting just inside the entrance!

🚨🚨🚨🚨

[ ღ | by the time yuu arrives, riddle is closing the refrigerator door, and turning to greet them. in his tiny gloved hands is what appears to be a bento box; its design screams cheery to the point of most likely being intended for children, cats and brightly colored flowers patterning the lid. ]

I remembered you told me about the boxed lunches your father would make you. A few students in Heartslabyul come from a place called San Fransokyo, where they make something similar.

[ this part is going to be hard, but riddle knows he has to do it. ]

I'm sorry for how I behaved last night, Yuu. It was very insensitive. I realize that now.

[ he offers the bento box to his friend. ]

1/2

[areyuuserious]

[Intended for children or not, the sight of the bento box makes Yuu pause, eyes widening ever so slightly.

They reach out to take the bento box carefully, silent as they listen to his apology.]

I lied, it's out of 3

[areyuuserious]

[Maybe it's the sleep deprivation, maybe it's having bottled up their emotions for so long, maybe it's overwhelming nostalgia for the bento box, or to have something that reminds them so much of home when they were feeling so homesick, maybe it's actually getting a sincere apology for once in this godforsaken school...

They hardly notice their own tears as they take the box.]

I...

OKAY DONE SORRY

[areyuuserious]

Thank you.

[Carefully, they set the bento box to the side--they can take a better look at it later--before pulling Riddle into a hug, still crying.]

MY HEART,,,,

[beheaded]

[ at first riddle is worried that perhaps his apology isn't sufficient, or maybe he overstepped. after some prompting from trey, riddle realized how cruel his words must have sounded, maybe even doubly so because he's supposed to be yuu's friend. the fact he's never missed being home, or missed his family for more than a day or two at most isn't an excuse. yuu can't understand what it's like to be him, but they never fail to at least be an empathetic, caring shoulder for him to lean against. ]

Ah, Yuu, I--

[ the tears alarm him, and he reaches out to snatch the offending bento out of his friend's hands with the intent to give it a toss so he can apologize profusely for any presumptions he made thinking this sort of gift was appropriate-- but then he's pulled into an embrace, and kind of sort of maybe gets it.

for once, riddle says nothing, and as awkward as he feels doing it, he wraps his arms around yuu's middle and gives them the hardest, most comforting squeeze he can manage. it's not that he can't think of anything to say, but rather, there's nothing that can be said. there aren't words for how sorry he is that yuu was forced to leave such a warm, happy home behind. that they're probably scared and confused more often than not. they didn't even get to say goodbye to everyone they love...

no, 'sorry' doesn't even begin to cover it. all he can do is hold yuu and let them have this moment so they can feel everything they need to feel without guilt or reproach. ]

...Anytime, Yuu.

[ and he really does mean it. yuu is family at this point, whether they realize it or not. ]

[They take the helmet, looking over the Magic Wheel with clear interest.]

Something close, but not quite... I think. [They pull the helmet on carefully.] My aunt's got a motorcycle that she's given me a ride on a few times, but I dunno how it compares to a Magic Wheel...

[They climb on behind Deuce with a grin.]

Okay, I'm ready!

[majimekun]

Just a motorcycle then? I suppose though without magic that would have to be it.

[Of course people who couldn't cast spell did have their own contraptions, they just weren't as fast. As Yuu was about to find out.]

Make sure to hold on tight. And let me know if I am going too fast. I... I've never rode with anyone before.

[He revs the engine once, trying not to feel self conscious now. But off they go, slow at first just to get a feel for it.]

[areyuuserious]

[Holding on tight! Deuce can't see it, but Yuu's grinning.]

I'll let you know, don't worry.

[Yuu stares at the text for a few moments, trying to figure out which one it is, before they give up.]

Well, it's not like I haven't faced enough mortal peril already this year, I guess

[A reminder that Yuu's under considerable stress already, playing along with the joke, or an extremely unsubtle jab at Crowley? That's for Jamil to decide!]

[nurseaviper]

You get used to it.

[that isn't reassuring at all, thanks]
