[ She didn't think she'd see such a familiar face so soon. Haruki got discharged from the hospital - her arm was still in a cast and she walked with a bit of a limp, but she was fine and functional. Doctors said that she could go on home, all she needed to do is take care of herself.

(Not to mention she hoped she'd get out sooner than later. She didn't know how they'll pay the hospital bills.)

But as she walked out of her hospital room, there was a door nearby that read: Inukai Isuke.

And that caught her attention.

Haruki came back every day, at least three times, to make sure Isuke was okay. She helped feed her, helped brushed her hair and painted her nails and did whatever she could do to help the doctors out. After all, not many people could deal with Isuke's temper, or her high standards.

Admittedly, Haruki wasn't even sure if she could live up to Isuke's standards either, but she could at least be someone she tolerated.

It's been a few weeks, maybe even a month already, since Isuke's been hospitalized. Today she comes in around lunch time, a tray of hospital food in her hands. ]

Ready for lunch? They've got a special rice lunch so I grabbed it before it was gone. Need help sitting up? [ She sets the tray down to the side, sits by the edge of the bed in case Isuke needs some help. ]

Better luck next time. ♥

Ahaha, just kidding! There won't be a next time.

[except there will be.]

Hmm, I always find an opportunity when I can!

[ there totally will be ]

You know I'm not gonna stop visiting until you're outta here.

And then what? You're going to find Isuke's house and bother me there?

[no that'd be terrible.... sort of... not really??]

I'm not gonna stalk you or anything.

[ She pouts. She's not that clingy! ]

I mean, the only way I'd know where you live would be if you invited me over.

Mama wouldn't like it if I brought a stray mutt into our home. ♥

[always with the dog comparisons...!]

Whoa, even if I was well-groomed and everything? That's harsh, Isuke-sama.

[ why is she always a dog can't she be something cool and badass ]

[a wolf... puppy!!]

You say that like you could even be well-groomed. ♥

[though... now she's trying to imagine it. goddamnit the color isn't leaving her face.]

You don't think I have what it takes?

[ Haruki laughs, because admittedly it's kind of true, but...! ]

Alright, just picture this. I'm outside your door and I ring the doorbell. Got a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a gift for your parents in the other. You open the door and there I am, dressed in a nice shirt and a vest, a nice pair of pants, polished shoes... The hair is a different story, but that doesn't sound bad, right?

It sounds cheesy. Isuke won't have her life become something out of a bad romance novel. ♥

[godDAMN though that mental image.]

But for someone like me, it's totally plausible, right?

[ Come on, don't shoot her down...! ~~as if she has clothes like that to begin with but shhh~~ ]

I'm really digging the dress shirt and vest look, though. Think I could work it?

Good clothes can make even a hopeless case look decent. ♥

[so roundabout.....!]

Haha, then maybe I"ll have to scrap together the expenses to try and impress you.

[ is she serious or is she joking, we just don't know ]

... You'd really go through that much trouble?

[doki doki- no wait]

What an idiot. ♥

If you gave me the time. [ Griiin ] You thought about it, right? It's a totally solid image, even if it's a little out of reach for me.

When the day you can dress like that arrives, I'll go out to dinner with you.

[sarcasm?? is it???]

Haha, if that's all it takes, I don't need to try too hard then!

[ Jo...king...?? ]

Hm... Would I be paying? Wait - actually, don't answer that. I already know how it'll go.

Hey! Don't talk about it like it's seriously going to happen!

I'm only as serious as you are!

So whenever you're free, give me a time and a place. [ wink wink?? ]

Funny. ♥ I could almost laugh.

[she'll probably give Haruki her phone number later.... gj]

Hey, almost is better than not laughing at all. I'll take it as a compliment.

[ Pocky, pocky... Here, she holds up another pocky stick to Isuke's mouth ]

Eat another one to compensate you not wanting to eat real people food.

And you think pocky counts as "real people food"? It's nothing but stale cracker dipped in cheap chocolate.

[is there a rich people equivalent of pocky..... who knows!]

It's the king of all snack foods. At least I'm giving you that much!

[ Come on, eat itttt. Maybe there's a surprise if she does! ]

[guhhhhhhh she cranes her neck forward and takes a vicious chomp from the pocky stick, making a big show of grimacing as she chews and swallows.]

Terrible. I think I might have to be hospitalized even longer on account of how ill I feel now.

Nah, you seem to be right on track! Acting just like the same old Isuke-sama from that time.

[ "From that time" being... back when they were sharing a room and all. That felt like forever, but it's probably not all that long in reality. ]

You sure got yourself beat up. What is it, a broken arm and neck? Feels like Azuma went easy on you.

[she instinctively smacks Haruki across the face- with her bandaged (stabbed) arm, which means it's more like a hard tap. ow ow ow???]

If you value your life, you won't stick your nose in places where it doesn't belong! ♥
