Who: Kiriko, Kou.
What: Encounter.
Where: School Roof.
When: Lunchtime.
Why: Advice.

The roof was thankfully quiet, and a place where dazzling sunlight pursued the students of Nanakamado relentlessly, for there was no place of profound darkness. It was almost the time that the sun would be in high noon. Kouchisei was seated alone on one of the few benches kept close to the railing. A napkin and bento box were resting on top of his lap, the fabric dangling over his legs that moved backwards and forwards in idleness. There was no peace because there was no certainty if he would last. Kiriko had been called for advice, and he wouldn't be lying if he said the thought of dealing with her was akin to despair.

Kiriko would think he didn't know how to love someone, he believed; she'd be right. He didn't want this to make Kozue happy so muh as to keep her happy.

And it wasn't a good sign that he wasn't hungry.

Kiriko, on the other hand, seemed perfectly content when she emerged on the rooftop, raising one hand to shield her eyes and look out into the day. She seemed to brighten further upon seeing him sitting stiffly, nervously in place.

Lunchbag swinging from one hand, she made her way over to Kou and sat on the bench, a polite and friendly distance from him.

"So, Oubai-san." She tried to suppress her grin and failed. "This is about Kozue-san, isn't it?"

Colour drained from his face and he turned his head away, and then quickly put the lid on his box due to how he had lost his appetite from needing to seek advice from Kiriko of all people. Embarrassment. Shame. An emotional man. He wasn't sure how to raise the issue now she was here. Well, not to continue it, at any rate.

"I don't know how you found out," he said, still facing away. "However, I'm grateful."

He sighed, the frown not leaving his face for a moment.

"It's annoying. It's not like I asked for this trouble. That's all women are, really. You know it's Kozue-san anyway, so there's no point in lying. We've only been going out for a few weeks anyway." He removed the lid to his box and put it between them on the bench. "Pickle?"

	That made him nod. "I already know that." At least his curiosity had been sated. His life had been and still was private business. Though Kiriko could have lied, he guessed. Her and Kozue were as bad as each other. "We've been talking about me long enough. Is there anything about yourself." Most people changed the subject when flattered.

	Kiriko arched a brow. Did he really expect to get away with an evasion so obvious? "You're concerned about your relationship with Kozue-san." Subtlety and vague allusion weren't working, but she was not prepared to let him off the hook. "How much do you like her, and what are your worries, specifically?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kou was silent for a moment. Kiriko hadn't confirmed she was the worst information-gatherer in this school, so she must be, he thought. He then spoke in a frustrated voice. "Why do people think I have to loosen up," he indicated it with his fingers, "to have fun?" A scoff. "I have fun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She laughed behind her hand at his finger-wiggling. That was certainly unanticipated. "What kind of fun do you have? Being nervous certainly isn't any fun." She paused for another bite of food. "So just relax." More thoughtful chewing. The silence was somewhat awkward, but Kiriko didn't seem to notice. "So - you're worried. You like her a lot, then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
