crossingfield | will the real anime protagonist please stand up

[ ah, it's sunny out...

you know, as i get older i realize the days just start to blur together. i can't really tell one day from the next 'cause it's all the same to me. i do the same things over and over again that everything i do has lost meaning to it.

i wake up, i eat breakfast, i go to school, come home from school, sit around and play some games while i do my homework, eat dinner somewhere along the way and i go to sleep.

and then it repeats, just like that, every day. and it's been like this for, what, i dunno -- half of my life? and then this is just going to keep on going for... however long i'm alive for. it's really boring, isn't it? living that kind of life.

which is why, right at this moment, i sigh heavily. before me stands perhaps the greatest obstacle of my day: a hill that i must climb in order to reach the school campus.

ugh, anything but this...

it's true, this route could easily be avoided -- if i wake up early enough, i could take the longer way around, or if i had a bicycle i could just bike my way up the hill, or if i had friends who lived in my neighborhood, they could walk up with me and it wouldn't be so boring.

except it's all too much trouble and i'd rather not waste my time. it's going to be more work to figure out an alternative. best not to prolong the inevitable, either -- i'm going to have to climb this hill for the next two years of my life anyway.

it's way too early for this.

i take my first step -- left foot first -- and just as my foot is about to hit the ground, my right foot just about to push off to take the next step, something odd happens. it takes me by surprise and i stumble, losing my balance after not even one single step and i fall to the ground, my ass meeting the pavement that i would have been treading along had things... gone to plan, i guess.

something rustles from the bushes to my right, and within a moment's notice something i've never seen before comes out from it. a dark puddle or blob or something moves to the left, a little, then to the right. it stops, moves forward and then moves back... and looks right at me.

-- panic settles in --

what the hell is going on right now? why is it looking at me? shit --

why is this happening to me? ]

[ there's tiny flab there. Tiny, itty bitty flab.

She squeaks, splashes Kyouko again ]

Stop that! I didn't gain weight at all! Maybe that's always been there, god--

Please. Stop. [ Her face is red. ]

Hehe.

[But then Shiro gets all blushy, and Kyouko leans further forward, kisses Shiro's forehead.]

I was just teasing, sorry. Even if you did gain a bit of weight, you look fine. Don't worry about it, okay?

If you're really that worried about it, you could try hitting the gym with me or something.

Stupid.

[ After a few seconds Kyouko pulls away, Shiro leans in and... kisses her. ]

The gym's way too much work. Walking to school and walking home is enough of a work out already.

[Kyouko returns the kiss, ruffles Shiro's hair a little, then - picks her up under the armpits, lifts her up onto the counter and into her lap.

So yeah, Shiro's now in Kyouko's lap all of a sudden.]

See? You don't weigh that much at all. Relax.

[Kyouko leans around her, kisses her on the neck.]

... Haha, uh, I'm acting like this, but the secret is that I'm on. Y'know, mine. That cool with you? I don't really bleed that much or get all crampy or nothin'. I mean, I bleed a bit, obviously, but my periods are usually pretty chill.

H-Heeeey--

[ being lifted surprises her, and Shiro's a little shaky as she's sitting in Kyouko's lap. Her hands hold onto her arms tightly and she leans closer to her.

Heights aren't her thing.

She takes a little breath ]

I'm just... it's a little unsanitary, I guess...? I mean - I guess the actual bleeding part does't bother me too much.

We could - well, that is... I don't want you to feel frustrated but it's. yeah.

Hehe.

[Kyouko leans forward and wraps her arms around Shiro tight, kisses her cheek again.]

Relax, I've got you. [Kiss.]

It's not like I'm telling you to eat me out. And like I said, we don't have to do it right now or nothin'.

What would you wanna do, then? Watch a movie, like you said?

You just seemed like you were in the mood, jeez.

[ Shiro cuddles closer,careful not to cause either of them to fall over. ]

A movie sounds good - what do you have lying around?

And I haven't finished the dishes yet, dummy.

I'll do the dishes, then. You can go through my movies. I mean, most of them are anime movies, I'm not ashamed to admit that, but there's some American movies in there too. Comedy and action mostly.

American movie! Let's watch one of those!

We're gonna have to go through them together because my English is shit.

Oh, sure, sure. They should all have subtitles, but I guess the boxes would still be mostly English...

[Kyouko lets go of Shiro, gently lowers her to the floor, then hops off the counter after her. She turns the water off, too.]

I'll do the dishes later. I have my anime DVDs up in my room, so I watch them on my computer, but for stuff I wanna watch on the TV I have it... [Kyouko points to one of the doors on the entertainment center. The one that the TV is sitting on top of.]

Right door's games, left door's DVDs.

C'mon, c'mon.

[ She tugs Kyouko along to the entertainment center, gets her to stand there and read the movie titles to her.

She holds a DVD up to her ]

What's this?

Geez, what's got you all fired up?

[Looking at DVD...]

Uh, Avengers. It's based on an american comic. Iunno if you'd like it...

Hey, actually, what sorts of movies do you like?

Anything, really. I like movies, not genres.

Let's watch this. Can we?

That's deep, babe.

Sure, sure. [Kyouko stretches a little.]

I've watched it a lot, but it's a pretty easy rewatch. Exciting and all. I might wind up napping anyway though - pie makes me sorta sleepy.

If you fall asleep on me I'm going to hit you.

You're gonna have to tell me about the American references I don't get.

[ Huff... ]

Fine, fiiine. I'll stay awake, but I'll keep my head on your lap. Fair's fair, right?

... Oh. Oh, I get it. You wanna learn about America because I'm half-from-there, right?

I just wanna watch something different.

Suuure thiiiing, babe.

[Kyouko wraps her arms around her.]

Love you. [In English, see? But pidgin English is common enough in Japan that Shiro probably catches that one.]

R...Rabu you too...

[ her English is really bad.

She's embarrassed ]

... Pff. Oh my God.

[Kyouko - Kyouko's giggling. Then just outright laughing.]

That was. That was. Holy shit, that was adorable.

Will you quit it already?!

[ Shiro whines and hits her weakly, huffs and just. Curls herself up into a little ball on the couch.

She glares at her. ]

Just put the movie on already, stupid.

Fine, fine. [The movie gets put into the DVD player and all, aaand with a few clicks of the remote they're away.

Kyouko finangles her her onto Shiro's lap, just like she said she would.]

No shame in your English not being that great. They're pretty different languages, and English has some sounds Japanese doesn't.

Yeah, well. Whatever.

[ When Kyouko lays her head down, Shiro's already running her fingers through her hair. ]

You really okay with watching this? You said you saw this a bunch of times already...

[The hair's turning into kind of a mullet by this point. Are you okay with your girlfriend having a mullet, Shiro?]

Well, you haven't. Seeing someone else's reactions makes it new and exciting, right?

I guess... If the movie can be rewatched so many times then it's good, huh?

Mm. Your hair's getting longer. Have you thought about getting it cut?
