Because Misaki needs to have something to eat from someone else.
Who: Misaki and Keiichi
What: Dinner
Where: Sky park
When: After school at the park after Toru's dungeon
Why: Because these two need to talk.

Misaki set up the blanket in the middle of the park. She wondered why Keiichi had asked her there in the first place. It wasn't like he couldn't talk to her in the school. But being the person that she was, Misaki happily agreed to meet him here for dinner. She pulled up her hair into the pigtails that she wanted to try out and sat down. Thoughts were running though her mind about what had happened in the dungeon. She had been a nip jealous of the kiss, but that was neither here nor there. It wasn't so much the who was doing it it was the fact that it had happened.

Then there was the issue of Tom. What to do about him. As far as Misaki could tell he was easily freaked out when someone acted a certain way to him, which meant she could probably use it to keep him away from her friends when he started to ask to many questions. But now that he was a persona user...what did that mean exactly. Was he going to help them or...

She stopped thinking about it and laid down on the blanket in a curled up pose. Were this the story of the three bears, she would be seen as goldie locks. She was tired and not sure what to do, and feeling the warmth of the sun...it made her sleepy, so she rested there and fell off into dream land wondering if someone would wake her up when they stopped by.

...and now, she was snuggling with him? Sometimes, Keiichi doubted he'd ever figure Misaki out. He could add that to the long list of such things in his life.

"I will always be here for you," he replied, patting her shoulder reassuringly. She was always affectionate; this was no different, but then, why did it FEEL any different? It was pretty obvious that she saw him as a friend; her reaction to the kiss was pretty clear evidence of that.

He didn't dwell on that, though. She was soft, and it was a nice day out.

Better to just enjoy the nice days, because the not-so-nice ones were coming with increasing frequency.

	Happy with the reassurence Misaki let him go and quickly asked, "What did you make of Toru-kun's world Sempai? I mean it was rather odd that he...Sempai...are you alright?" Pouting some Misaki looked at him and touched his shoulder, "Sempai?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm fine, Mi-chan." It was mostly true, anyway.

He felt...some bizarre mixture of guilty and upset. But that could be dealt with later. "Toru-kun's world was...odd. Well, I guess considering that he likes games, not that out, but..."

Keiichi paused for a moment, trying to explain the best way to say the following. "It seemed to have a much greater effect on everyone, you know?

	"Yes I noticed, Keiichi-sempai. Do you think the more we go there the more we're going to change? I'm starting to worry that..." Misaki shook her head. She didn't need to make him worry about her. Smiling brightly she started to dish out the food. "Well it's nothing, to us Sempai," she grinned and gave him one of the bottles of water. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Keiichi cocked an eyebrow at her. He knew she was changing the subject. Primarily because it sounded a whole Hell of a lot like when *he* changed the subject.

"What is it, Mi-chan? What are you worried about?" It was somewhat refreshing, he had to admit, that someone else around here worried about SOMETHING related to that place.

He took the bottle and toasted to them, but he was still waiting for an answer.

Misaki looked down on the grass. She could trust him right? He was her mentor and sempai, and he probably wouldn't tell anyone. She rubbed her shoulder some as she spoke, "Well...you see..."

Bitting her lip Misaki looked up, trying to figure out the words, "Ever since we've been going there I feel like I've been...not my self I guess. I've been more, irritated, and I get annoyed with people. I don't like it Sempai. I really really don't."

"I think it's happening to all of us, to some extent," he replied, trying to console her as best he could with that fact. "There's a lot of stress in that place, and a lot of us are struggling to get along with people we wouldn't have to otherwise. Maeko and Kanaye are always at each other's throats, for example."

Really, he didn't know which side he'd support in *that* particular battle.

He leaned in close and gave her another hug, this one lighter, meant to be comforting. "We're doing the best we can, you and I. You're very important to the group with your healing, and probably more importantly, you get along with everyone."

Much more than he could say about some of the others.

"Get along with the others..." Misaki said quietly. It was true, she was able to key into what people tended to like and become a bit of that so they wouldn't ignore her, but that and actually getting along with her were two very different things.

Resting her head on his shoulder Misaki sighed, "Maeko-chan just doesn't want to see me hurt...I don't know why that is, she just doesn't. And Satou-sempai...as much as he acts like he's a flirt, I don't think he's really ever had anyone that he really honestly felt very interested in. I think he does like Maeko-chan, they just don't see one another the same way. She only sees him being a flirt and he only see's her as being protective and both can't seem to understand that that's not how they really are."

Misaki smiled cheerfully at him, "That's why I like you Sempai, I can tell when you're being really you and you normally don't pretend to be something else. Which is why so many people like you."

It was...nice to cuddle with her. She was comforting to hold, just as her personality was comforting. He really just hoped Maeko didn't show up, because this would be difficult to explain to her.

"I'd...be inclined to agree with you on Satou-senpai," he admitted. "The problem is, both he and Maeko act the way they do. What they actually are isn't so important when they act a certain way. Maeko is..." Keiichi searched for the words, sighing softly at the admittedly pleasant feeling of the younger girl's head against his neck and shoulder.

"Look at it this way," he finally managed. "I try to be protective and comforting for you. But there's a difference between the way I act and the way Maeko acts, and you know that..."

There was also a difference between the way he acted and the way Kanaye acted, Keiichi noted to himself.

	"But it's not really that different, Sempai. Maeko-chan just likes to protect me in a different way." she smiled brightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Keiichi's teeth gritted momentarily. "Let me try this," he began, wondering if he could logic his way through this. "Suppose you and I were dating, and I protected you the same way Maeko protects you. Wouldn't that not be right, Mi-chan? Wouldn't it be smothering and too much?"

...he really needed better hypotheticals.

"It's the same thing. You two are friends, and that's wonderful, but she doesn't give you any space..."

"Ah...well, if you and I were dating, um, you'd be acting the same way that you act now. But...well, maybe a little, but I wouldn't mind it. I mean, if you love me, that's what matters right? And you wouldn't be hurting me, because I like to spend time with you." Misaki smiled, she knew what he was getting at, but she didn't want to see Maeko that way.

Misaki looked down some, "Keiichi-sempai...when I was younger I...I had a lot of trouble in middle school, and really Maeko-chan used to come and help me out. So...I don't really mind it when she tries to help me. I know she's only doing it for me because she cares about me and doesn't want me to go through what I went through in middle school that's all."

Keiichi listened quietly to his friend, patting her lightly on the shoulder. "I'm glad she was there to help you. Mi-chan," he replied, smiling back at her. "I just worry. Regardless of how Akuba-san means to be..."

He had to watch his words carefully. "Sometimes, she comes off a little too strong, you know? It's fine to be protective. I'm sure she doesn't mean anything by it, but..."

The last thing he needed was a Maeko on the warpath, whether it be in school, or worse, Paradise.

"I just try to look out for you too. In my own way."

	"I know you are Keiichi-sempai. But really Maeko-chan is not that bad. She just...I don't know, I just got used to it." Misaki told him and handed him some of the food. "Please don't worry about me okay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	keiito 2009-07-22 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	'Easier said than done,' he thought, wryly. 'Especially considering you worry about things as much as I do sometimes.' Still, he nodded at her. "I'll try, Mi-chan," Keiichi agreed, albeit a bit reluctantly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Misaki grinned happily, "That's okay Keiichi-kun...um is it okay if I call you that?" She sipped her water, "By the way...what...what do you make of of the whole situation. Toru-kun's world, Oubai-sempai's world, and just...there has to be a connection some where right? It's just not magically happening. Why them?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Of course it's okay if you call me that," he replied, returning her smile. "We're good friends, after all."

What he made of the entire situation was a long story and entirely too much to be said at a pleasant picnic. "I'll tell you, I promise. When we're on the trip with everyone is probably a better time, though," Keiichi told her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "For now, let's just have fun?"

	Misaki gave a quick nod and smiled cheerfully, "Right. I can't wait to go on the trip though, no homework and we get to camp out. I'm really excited about that and the Onesen. Hummm, I wonder what we'll see out there." (Reply to this) (Parent)
