O-Oh? Are you... Sure you want to go? I don’t want to force you into it     or anything. I just... I want to go.

mishima takes one hand from his pocket to tug on a section of the dark hair that frames his face as he glances in the other direction to take a visual sample of the festivity taking place. it seems like a spirited gathering, though it must be an informal one– tokyo’s annual “rainbow pride” event had already taken place, in may. he longs to, but… ❞no, not really.❞ struck by realization, the boy straightens from his despondent posture and crosses his arms defensively over the tender swell of his chest. ❞i mean, no. no way! why would you think i was?❞

It’s... It’s just that you were watching them. I’m sorry for assuming. ❞

Of course, not everyone watching the festivities would be like her. Not all of them were just too nervous to join them. Some were watching to mock, and some were watching out of interest. Not many people were watching considering how informal it all seemed to be. She turned away from him, instead looking towards the ground.

I- I was just wondering because...

She needed someone to help her join them. But she wasn’t going to say that. She shook her head slowly.

Never mind.

I need to make sure to buy a good gift...     But not too expensive. Hmm.

akechi’s eyes slitted,   more now like  needles  of undisguised  venom,  though he directs his newfound  restless  energy to crossing his arms,  shifting his weight entirely onto the heel of one foot.  His voice does not  shiver  with anger so much as it grows indescribably  colder  —  recognizes,  perhaps,  the way her voice sounds when she discusses a person she would rather  do without.    Her  fiance  …   he had known she’d had one   (   but they had never discussed it   )  due to her association with Okumura,  and knew more that he was the  son  of a  prosperous political family;  that her engagement was mere  arrangement.  A stepping stone.
He was familiar with the feeling.
 ❛   That he has been cruel to you  at all  is quite disturbing.   You  …  do not have to tell me the  details  if you do not wish to go into the matter,  but   —   do you not feel safe,  Okumura - san?   ❜

It’s... It’s not that I don’t feel safe. He hasn’t harmed me, nor has he     forced me to do anything. Really, I should be... Happy for that     much. A lot of people have a lot worse when they’re in arranged     relationships like these.

Not that she was trying to excuse anything he’d done or said. He was a terrible person, and she no longer wanted to be around him. However... She had to acknowledge that it could have been a worse situation. It was how she got herself through most bad situations. Simply acknowledging that fact alone made her feel slightly better. She still didn’t feel great discussing him, but it was a start.

I’d just like to know a way to avoid someone.

his eyes narrow,    slightly,  and of course he is unwilling to pressure Haru into saying anything  –  but he wants to ask,  and so his answer,  when he speaks it,  comes out as  quietly  and delicately as he can force it to be,  lingering a  touch  on the tip of his tongue,    ❛  …  Him?  You  …  aren’t being threatened by someone are you,  Okumura - san?   If you require assistance,  I can use my connections to the police to  protect  you.    You do have  so much  on your plate,  at this moment,  after all.    ❜

It’s... Um.

Ah, she was pretty sure she’d already spoken about her fiance to Akechi. With that being said, why was it so difficult to say it? She didn’t like asking for help too often, she liked to deal with problems alone as much as she could if at all possible. Yet this wasn’t a situation she could deal with alone, not as it currently was. After a sharp exhale she began to speak once again.

My fiance. He’s been quite cruel as of late. More...     More than usual.
