[missingache]

He.. he's the guy who can't talk?

[Does that ring a bell?]

[chiyo_chan]

[Wait... him??]

I... I don't think I've ever seen him more than once! W-why would he like me?!

[missingache]

I don't know! I mean... I'm happy my friend likes someone... you're a really nice person, and he's really nice, too.

[This is hard. ._.]

[chiyo_chan]

I... but I don't.

I don't like ... him...?

[Awkward fidgeting!!]

[missingache]

Y-You don't?

[He sighs with relief, then squeaks and looks down.]

I-I'll tell him that next time I see him!

[chiyo_chan]

I'm just really confused! Maybe I should tell him...? I mean, I've only ever talked to him like... once...

[Though that's not something that's stopped her before. But she's not gonna say that.]

[missingache]

N-No! I can tell him.

[Please don't fall in love with Linos suddenly while he goes to pass the message on.]

[chiyo_chan]

[She's... she's not going to, promise.]

Oh... okay! I mean, if you'd rather do it that way...

[She's not gonna argue!]

[missingache]

[Okay.. don't crush his "heart".]

I'll... do it later!

[chiyo_chan]

[She nods. And then smiles. And then blinks again.]

Ah! Are you hurt?? Do you need me to take care of you??

[missingache]

[He tilts his head.]

No... not that I know of... oh... except the bruises... and s-scrapes...

[chiyo_chan]

Th-that's... what I was talking about.

[She frowns at him.]

How did you get hurt??

[missingache]

.... I kept bumping into things... b-because your hips are wider... and you don't have very good balance... and you're not... t-the most physically strongest person...

[HE'S NOT TRYING TO BE MEAN]

.... I fell out of a tree, and I slipped when coming out of the bathtub... I'm so sorry...

[chiyo_chan]

[.....stare....]

O-oh... I... see....?

[That... okay. Sure.]

...c-can I patch you up, at least?

[missingache]

[HE'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU SOMEHOW]

O-Okay... y-you're probably better at that...

[chiyo_chan]

[She quickly goes to get some bandaids and disinfectants that she has... just in case...]

Here, let me see them.

[And she will very gently apply the disinfectant and then cover the scrapes with bandaids, rubbing them lightly afterward.]

I hope it feels better now...

[missingache]

[He hisses at the disinfectant. When it was done, he nods.]

A lot better... I'm so sorry. I never meant to get you banged this up.

[chiyo_chan]

[She looks a little flushed. It's an odd thing to touch her own body from this side of things? Ahhhh...]

It's okay! I mean... it happens, right?

[Offering a soft smile!]

[missingache]

Y-Yeah... when it happens to my own body, I don't really notice. But w-with yours... I really didn't want to hurt you!

[He's so emotional right now. What is this????]

[chiyo_chan]

Ahh, no it's fine! I hurt myself all the time on accident! You didn't do it on purpose, I know you didn't!

[P-please calm down, Koji-kun!]

[missingache]

[BEING A GIRL IS TOUGH WHAT'S WITH THESE EMOTIONAL HIGHS AND LOWS

And now he's crying.

Why.]

[chiyo_chan]

[!!! NO NO NO!!]

A-ahhh, it's okay??? Pl-please don't cry!!

[Now she knows how guys feel, aaah...]

[missingache]

[He's going to keep crying for a little longer before finally calming down. He wipes his eyes before looking at Shiro.]

S-Sorry...

[chiyo_chan]

[Quietly patting his shoulder through the whole thing, ahhhhhhh.]

It's... it's okay. I'm not mad?

[missingache]

Really?

[That's a huge relief. He lets out a sigh.]

Being a girl is rough... I don't get how you can do this all the time.
