Who: Atsuro Kihara and Kazuya Minegishi
Where: Land of Awkwardness and Attempted Fratricide
When: Right after the Taurus event
Warnings: None
Summary: At least they had both tried to kill each other mutually so the guilt went both ways.

The morning after the 26th, Atsuro woke up to three separate, unhappy realizations.

First, some nefarious villain had stolen into his room and ripped his curtains; more important - perhaps most importantly - they had undone his careful arrangement of all of his games by alphabetical order and production company. Second, some other nefarious villain - perhaps the same one - had left a prop sword so that he almost impaled himself when he rolled out of bed.

Third, shame. Crippling debilitating shame.

He spends the first two hours cleaning his room (an hour and forty minutes of it checking and double-checking that all of his games, computer paraphernalia, and hacking tools were still present and accounted for), the next two hours deciding he needed another nap after all of that work, and then another two hours hoping lunch would magically appear on his desk so he wouldn't have to actually go outside for a week or so.

He weighs the pros and cons of starving as opposed to ever running into Kazuya again; starving almost seemed like the better option until he remembered that starving would mean he would never get to play Devil Kids: Spirit Hackers 4 which was supposed to come out in less than six months and promised over 600 different monsters to catch.

Hey Kazuya.

Can we meet up?

"A demon with the understanding of the heart?"

Kazuya's face scrunched up at the thought. He wasn't sure if a demon would be good - they had a very alien sense of morals, after all - but Kazuya couldn't unload this on a human therapist. They'd probably think he was batshit or a danger to society, or something like that.

"There're a lot of demons. There's probably one, I guess? But what and where is the question."

Kazuya's expression slowly shifted into slight amusement. "Demon-demon? I didn't realise there was another type of demon out there," he teased, but his gaze dropped down to the COMP in Atsuro's hands. "Do you have someone in mind already?"

Kazuya looked a bit sceptical. His memory of Orobas was a fabulous pink horse demon that enjoyed leaping through the air like a ballerina. Kazuya supposed that screamed "heart" but... well, what could it hurt, right?

"Okay...may as well give it a shot," Kazuya said. "Nothing to lose if it doesn't work, right?"
belfire: (um okay)

"That's really exorbitant," Kazuya agreed. "Guess I'll take the flamboyant pink pony, then."
belfire: (look away)

"Mm."

Kazuya picked off more of the dried blood, his head ducked low as he lifted his shoulders up into a shrug. "Maybe," he said at last, "Can't hurt, anyway. I don't..." he paused, and his cheeks went a bit pink, "I don't wanna flip out again and hurt you, so..."

Kazuya blanched at that suggestion. "No! No, fuck no," he shook his head, his expression hardening in disapproval. "I could still hurt you if I'm flippin' out, or, I might not come to my senses, or... stuff."

Kazuya felt a bit guilty at snapping, but he didn't even want to think about that kind of thing, let alone joke about it. Which was a first for him, but, there were subjects even he couldn't point and laugh at.

"..." Kazuya sighed, his shoulders slumping in defeat. He smiled wryly, "Like something out of an anime, huh? Where the hero gets possessed by his superpowered evil side, and his friend has to snap him out of it. Heh..."

Okay, maybe he could joke about it a little.

"I rather you didn't, though," he said, quickly sobering, "Not trying to be arrogant, but I think my strength far outstrips yours. If I go all out, you'd..."
