Fuck you Blizzard, why you gotta try and ruin my idea? This was the predominate thought going through Reds mind currently, as he was on top floor of a building in the middle of the city that was clearly visible from where most of the houses around here were situated. He probably would have been done with his stupid fuckin idea hours, or even days ago if there wasnt a blizzard currently going on, but as it turns out, lugging a bunch of heavy equipment through the atleast knee deep snow in most places, even deeper in some places, takes a lot of fucking time. And thats when its not also snowing at the same time. He'd be lucky if he didnt get a cold form this but....eh, was worth it. He only had to hope that all the effort he'd put into this kind of...overshadowed that he was way behind schedule and Yumi was probably going to kill him when he showed up at her house.... if he was lucky enough to make it back before the bloody day end. He didnt wanna think about what would happen if he showed up after that.
For context, today was Yumis birthday. She'd told him when it was about uhh....a week? Week and a half ago? Somewhere around then, just before the blizzard started and he was helping her move in. She seemed....pretty nervous about asking him for some reason but he figured that it was probably just because of the new house or something. He'd told her he'd be happy to show up, and just continued to help her move boxes inside. It wouldnt be the first birthday party he'd even been to, on account of Tetsuko, but it'd be the first actual one he'd been too that wasnt a surprise....and he actually had time to pick out a decent gift this time too, so the chances of fucking up were pretty low for once! Atleast....until he got a stupid idea.
See, he could just show up to her party with a present and have a good time but....considering he probably wasnt the only person going, and he had very little experience in gift giving, the odds were that someone with better social experience would get her a better gift and make him look like a dumbass.....and, for some reason, the man who was known for constantly doing that and not really caring that much, for once he actually cared about that kind of stuff.
Therefore, he devised a cunning stupid plan that would hopefully gurantee that this eventually would not occur. It'd be a nice surprise, and not at all a completely cringy move that would make him look even stupider than usual and make everyone hate him, no sir......Oh god i hope this doesnt explode in my face like usual. He hoped with every fibre in his being.
The plan was simple. See, thanks to helping her move in, he know which way the windows faced, which luckily was towards town. It was a pretty neat view actually, was on top of a hill or something, but it wouldnt matter where it was really. Next, he had to find a tall enough building to get set up in....and luckily, thanks to his "Job", he knew just the right place. The old guy who owned the place owed him a favour, and as soon as Red explained it to him he was on board, even lent him a space to store all the equipment he was gonna need, just in case. All he would have to do is set everything up, give Grandpa the controls, and signal him when it was time to pop everything off. Ideally, he would have been sat right next to Yumi so he could see the look on her face.
Unfortunatly, the weather had decided to, rather violently, tell him to go fuck himself in that regard, as the blizzard came in and made setting everything up a bitch. Not to be deterred, however, Red continued to plan this, snow be damned. He'd had to lug a bunch more stuff up there to account for all of that, a few heaters to melt the snow, mats to keep his equipment form getting wet from said melted snow, and some protective coverings that kept the snow from falling onto everything, melting, and frying all the electrics.
It was a bit of a bitch to get it all working right with all the extra difficulty, and how absolutely fucking freezing it was, even with his coat and scarf on, but he was getting really close to being finished with everything. He just had to make sure nothing was going to explode, do some final checks, and he was golden.....to hopefully get this done before Yumi realised that he was late and started to hate him. The technical difficulties had caused a bit of a delay in his arrival but....it wasnt like he was the only one she had invited, right? |

Yumi sat in her livingroom, her new home feeling empty as ever. Perhaps even more so. Not to say she didn’t appreciate it. She did. She absolutely still felt she made the right decision moving out and getting her own sense of space and personal freedom rather than moving back in with her parents or something… but… even with how she matured and moved past her old oblivious nature, Yumi was realizing something. With how she’d gone from slightly ostricized due to her sparky quirk as a kid, then as a teenager getting WAY more attention than was probably healthy for her, Yumi just wasn’t coping too well not being around other people like this. The first week or so had been great. Red helped her move in, she set up her cosplay work in the spacey bedroom and spent her more personal time in the living space, trying not to bother the spare bedroom or the garage so it’d be easier to give a roommate in the future the kind of space they had to work with….
Still, the loneliness got to her eventually. It wasn’t really depressing it was just… noticeable. The body pillows she stuffed under her bed at the dorms got used more and more and she found herself just going to sleep earlier and earlier. Not exactly unhealthy but realizing she just… didn’t have a reason, or the energy to stay awake, really hit her in a rough way when she sat and thought about it…
She probably should just suck it up and start looking for a roommate… but she could get by for a few months without one, money wise at least, And…. She just didn’t wanna bother anyone. Or maybe she didn’t quite trust anyone she didn’t know. She’d made up with Kirk and Feng was becoming a close friend… heck Angel was getting kinda tolerable despite first impressions but… there was still that lingering sensation, whoever she arranged something with she might regret it. The same sensation had followed her when she’d tried to think about arranging something for her birthday.
January the 20th, her birthday. Not that anyone at school really knew. As much as she tried to work on her self confidence and stop caring so much what people thought, even as her nerves had been getting better, she could still worry sometimes about making herself the center of attention. She’d learned she either got the image of the school slut to some or some sort attention hog to other so… she’d tried not to make a big deal of it. She thought about maybe asking a few close friends for a small gathering but she kinda came to questioning if she had any. Feng was alright and she had made up with Kirk but… she wasn’t too sure she could consider any of them ‘close’ friends. Yet or ‘anymore’ respectively. She didn’t wanna break ties with Kirk but… she still needed a little time before she could be back where she was on that one.
Really that only left one option, her ever faithful trashcan Reddarc. Thanks to her nerves she’d only managed to invite him the morning of, just explaining it as a little ‘get together’ for her birthday, not wanting to lie but not wanting to make him feel awkward thinking it might be just the two of them either. Plus even if it was short notice, it meant he couldn’t accidentally slip and let everyone know it was her birthday… or at the very least he’d have less chances to do so.
Just her dumb luck he wouldn’t end up showing up though.
She’d given up on him showing… what. Maybe half an hour ago? Well… she hadn’t really. She was still a little hopeful… but she’d at least moved from the livingroom to her bedroom , glancing to the window with a deep sigh through her nose, some taller buildings in the distance preventing her from getting a good view of the moon. She glanced to her other side, a set of beer from her mother left untouched but feeling a little tempting the more she was left alone with her thoughts and… a growing sense of frustration and general sadness. The one person she trusted with her birthday and he didn’t even….!
Not even a fucking… call…!
Shooting up in her bed, she moved for her phone, beating in his number, somehow carrying enough frustration to dial it rather than just look him up in her phonebook and holding the phone to her ear. One or two ring beats later, a lot of her frustration was melting as her rapid overthinking told her, given how late she told him, she didn’t have a right to be mad but…
The line picked up, and she spoke in a quiet, but clearly firm and… mildly frustrated tone. It was almost like she was trying to be frustrated but couldn’t quite manage it. “Hey dipshit…” No playful ‘trashcan’ now.

"Oh come on man, please tell me i dont gotta link these back up correctly again...." Red would complain, watching as the wireless display he'd planned on having Grand dad use to set everything off once again showed that it wasnt properly linked. Red didnt know if the connecters he'd bought were faulty, the weather was fucking with the signal, or both, but at this rate, if they didnt link up properly he'd have to just have them activate manually in sequence, since the damn timers had ALSO shorted out thanks to the weather....and totally not him slipping over and dropping them, no sir.
Still, as he made sure that said equipment would do exactly that, he couldnt help but feel something gnaw at the back of his mind, like he'd forgetten something. That couldnt be right though. He'd bought enough stuff to make sure the whole shebang kept going incase he had to run there, he'd bought back ups just in case the important things were too wet to work, he'd even accounted for the cold. What could he have possibly forgotten to do?
He'd get his answer a few minutes later, as he was setting up the wire for a good, ol' fashioned detonation plunger to set everything off, when he felt his back pocket start buzzing and his ringtone playing through his goggles headphones. It was at this moment, that Red knew that he was probably a bit fucked, as he had forgotten to do something very, VERY important.
He'd forgotten to inform Yumi that he was probably going to be late to her birthday party. Oh fuck, oh fuck, this is bad, how the fuck did we forget to do tha---well everything broke so that explains it but seriously, WHY AM I SUCH A FUCKIN IDIOT? He'd berate himself in his mind.
Quickly, he'd drop the wire that he was holding, go to grab his phone out of his pocket, try and spin around and go inside so that the sound of blizzard wasnt very obvious, and trip over the plunger and get a face full of snow and hard concrete. "H-Hey Yumi, How uhh...how are ya?" He'd try and greet her without making it seem like he knew he was about to die.......with limited effect. Especially considering she retorted by calling him a dipshit. Great, just great dumbass, you REALLY fucked up now, didnt ya? His mind made fun of him.
"So uhh...how uhh....hows the party? You havin fun with everyone and stuff?" He'd try and make small talk, getting up off of the ground very carefully. This was bad, really bad. From Yumis tone, he could tell that she was really, really pissed off. He took a quick look at his watch and realised that the time had gotten even later than he thought. At this rate, said party was either about to, or had already ended, his stupid idea would have been for nothing, and he'd have Yumi hating his guts for the next year......at a minimum.
Ok, ok dumbass just....try and play it cool. Apologise to her and EVERYTHING will be fine....hopefully. He'd tell himself in a vain attempt to calm down, but...it was worth a shot right? He just had to....tell the truth. Thats all.....well, maybe not the full truth but....yeah, that'd be fine, right? Right?
"Yeah i uhh...i...may have underestimated how hard it is to navigate though a...blizzard and gotten just a....little bit lost and lost track of time, but trust me, i'm on my way right now, i swear. i got directions." He'd blantently lie, taking some very hasty steps around to grab the wire and do his best to wire everything up correctly while on the phone. All he had to do was distract her long enough to get it ready, tell her to look out the window, and all would be fi--"OI, KID, YOU DONE YET?" Red would hear from behind him, as Grandpa would poke his head out the door......rather loudly so Yumi could probably hear him. Oh god fucking dammit, WHY?!
"uhhh....that uuuhhh...thats was just a guy shouting at his kid shoveling snow....yeah....i...listen i swear this isnt what it sounds like." He'd attempt to lie before realising that it probably wanst the best idea in this scenario, while turning around and pointing at his phone. Old man Snitch just raised a hand in apology and left in a hurry, but it was probably already too late. It probably sounded like he was, instead of actually going to her party, working, and considering the fact he'd already lied that he was coming over.....that just made it worse.
"I....im really sorry, l...kinda over estimated how long this would take but...i swear i'll be over in a minute, i just gotta...do a thing first. Im not that far away so....keep uhh...keep an eye out of your window for me? Like uhh...right about..now-ish? It'll be worth it, t-trust me.........p-please?" He'd try to apologise, while finishing wiring everything up and heading over to the detonator. All he could hope for now was that he'd actually wired it up right and...everything else worked. God i hope this can save my ass. He'd think, cause if it didnt then.....well, he'd have gone and ruined Yumis birthday over bloody nothin. |

Hearing his nervous tone it seemed clear to her that Red knew he was in trouble on some level, and in her current state that didn’t really earn much mercy from Yumi. Falling back onto her back, an arm laid across her stomache and the other holding her phone against her ear, her brow was furrowed in a constant sense of frustration. She didn’t have the energy to really dig in with it, but at the very least even with her tired state, a look of annoyance was easily set across her face for anyone to read…. If anyone was there.
“There’s no-“ She started off, nearly raising her voice a bit before throwing her head back with a defeated groan, pinching the bridge of her nose. It was already pathetic enough that she’d only invited him for her birthday of all days, did she really need to throw that patheticness in his face? She’d already been sad enough to do it she didn’t need to throw it on the top of the pile that was the mess of this night as a guilt trip to top it all off.
“It’s…” She made one last internal debate as to whether to keep up the accidental lie or not but- “Nobody else is here.” She finished with. That seemed like it’d be… vague enough. Either Red got the image that he was indeed the only invite or just got the image no one else could make it. Either way, the idea that Yumi was solidly on her own tonight would make it through in either concept and maybe she could bitterly throw just a small sting of guilt beyond what he might already be feeling with his stuttering words.
Ok, ok dumbass just....try and play it cool. Apologise to her and EVERYTHING will be fine....hopefully. He'd tell himself in a vain attempt to calm down, but...it was worth a shot right? He just had to....tell the truth. Thats all.....well, maybe not the full truth but....yeah, that'd be fine, right? Right?
"Yeah i uhh...i...may have underestimated how hard it is to navigate though a...blizzard and gotten just a....little bit lost and lost track of time, but trust me, i'm on my way right now, i swear. i got directions." He'd blantently lie, taking some very hasty steps around to grab the wire and do his best to wire everything up correctly while on the phone. All he had to do was distract her long enough to get it ready, tell her to look out the window, and all would be fi--"OI, KID, YOU DONE YET?" Red would hear from behind him, as Grandpa would poke his head out the door......rather loudly so Yumi could probably hear him. Oh god fucking dammit, WHY?!
A little lo-RED!? You’d been here before! You helped her move from the dorms how the fuck do you get lost between here and there!? You-! Yumi turned her head from the phone again and let out a low groan that Red wouldn’t be able to hear, just leaving Yumi feeling even more defeated. Fine Red. Fine. You didn’t wanna come but don’t make up some bullshit excuse. ‘got directions’. Yeah fucking right. “You know Red if you didn’t wanna come you coulda just-“ She was interrupted when she heard someone in the background calling out to him, Yumi sitting up again as she tried to get an idea of who that could be.
“…” She’d listen to his explanation but- “Red. Did you… did you take a fucking job!?” She knew he had some weird little side business but… okay maybe he took it before she asked him, she had been last minute but just “Oh my god if you had a job again you could have just called me and we could have… rescheduled or… something!?” She was still really frustrated, the idea he had a job both pissing her off more but somehow also making it all feel more understandable. On the one hand if he took it at the last minute, or even just thought ‘hey I can get this done in time’ that set her off but in turn, him actually having some important work to do… it at least gave this all a reason.
Yumi’s eyes flickered to the window… but ultimately she was still more on the side of being pissed than forgiving. She bit at the inside of her cheek as she debated it, before setting her eyes forward, looking down at the edge of her bed and holding an arm around herself as she spoke into the phone. “… Say one thing that means I should still trust you.” Maybe she was being a bit.. melodramatic but… she’d invited only Red cause, deep down, while she was figuring herself out again, he was the only person she really felt she could trust one hundred percent so- “Just one thing… and I’ll look.”

As Red attempted to make small talk to avoid the topic of "Oh god, how can i be this much of a dickhead", he'd notice a couple things about the phone call. The first was the obvious pissed off tone Yumi was exhibiting, but the second? The lack of noise from the other side. He could probably attribute it to the blizzard being very loud in outside but.....he should have heard like, some dull music right? Maybe some people havin a good time in the background, in a different room or something....why was it so quiet? He wasnt the only one she invited right? There was no way that could be the case, she said it'd be a little get together, that implies more than two people........Right?
He got his answer to his question in the next few seconds. There was no one else there. He didnt know if was due to no one else being invited or no one else being able to make it due to the blizzard but......The guilt just stacked itself on top of him, HARD. "W-wait, seriously? N-no one?......oh god i fucked up bad....." The realisation of just how badly of a fuck up this was was beginning to dawn on him, as his heart started to sink in his chest.
......Dude....Dude what the fuck, what is wrong with you? HOW THE FUCK DID YOU FUCK UP THIS BLOODY BAD? He'd start screaming in his mind. The whole reason he'd been up here was cause he assumed that other people would be there and he didnt wanna get shown up for some reason, so....was....was this whole thing for fucking nothing? Had he ruined his best friends birthday for literally no goddamn reason? Why was he like this?
It only got worse from there. Yumi jumped to the very understandale conclusion that Red was blowing her off for a Job which while...technically not true, was pretty damn close to what he'd done. Just replace job with "Need to show off" or "doesnt want to get shown up" and you have a pretty accurate sum of what the hell he was doing right now. His excuses didnt make it any better, and only made her getting angry at him sting just that little bit more. "No, no i didnt, i swear, its just......." He;d trail off, not really knowing how to undo the situation he himself had caused.
Still....it seemed like Yumi was atleast trying to give him an out. He could tell she was still angry, but there was something else behind it...maybe she was trusting that he had a good reason to be not with her right around now or something, but Red knew he only had one shot at makin this work.....with his...very limited social faculties. Ok....ok we can do this, just say something...profound or something, that'll work, ri---
"W-well uhhh......If....if you look you'll probably get to see me blow myself up? i might be a complete fuck up but...you can trust me to do that, right?....that uhh....that'd put a smile on...your face right?...." He'd reply to her, without thinking about what he was saying. He would immeditaly realise that he had probably just blown his shot clear into the stratosphere. Really? Not a "When have i ever let you down before?" or anything like that?
"...Eh.....yeah i'll....i'll just shut up now, i'll just set this off and be over in a few minutes so you can kick my arse.....sorry....least the sky'll be lit up...." He'd dejectedly say down the phone, before pushing the plunger down and waiting for everything to set off......which it didnt. "...Oh...Oh come the fuck on, REALLY? YOU BREAK AGAIN NOW? WORK GODDAMMIT!" He'd yell in frustration as he kicked said detonator as hard as he could......which, somehow, caused the damn thing to work.
Some percussive maintainace apparently knocked the circuit in place, and one by one, all of the firework launcers that he'd been setting up since this morning would fire up into the sky. The first couple were intentionally made to look like blue lightning, arcing across the sky like a thunder storm and making way for the red and yellows to accompany it. He'd made sure all the colours he'd gotten his hands on were as bright as humanly possible so they could....actually be seen through a damn blizzard, even if Yumis house wasnt that far away.
Speaking of her house, once it was confirmed that the damn things were firing, he'd almost jump off the roof in order to actually get there before the day was over. Luckily there were a few smaller buildings around he could jump down to so he didnt just splat the ground....which he did anyway, thanks to everywhere being slippy do to snow and ice, landing into another snow pile to break his fall. He was really adept at falling into things, it seemed.
He probably should have stayed to help the old geezer clean up all the equipment but the guy said he'd take care of it while Red was setting everything up.....plus it was kinda late so....maybe he'd leave it til the morning and he could show up and help then. But right now, he had other priorities. It didnt take him that long to actually get to her house considering he knew where it was and he was moving as fast as he possibly could....which did cause him to skid past her gate and comically collide with a nearby street light, but it was fine.
He may have been out of breath, covered in snow and absolutely freezing but....didnt matter that much right now, he just had to prepare for Yumi to probably strangle him to death or something, knocking on the door and waiting for his inevitable demise. "...H-Hey Yumi....Sorry im....Sorry im a bit late but....Happy birthday?" He'd tell her when she opened the door...if she even did. |

“…Yeah.” She said simply. Right now she was just… hurting. And the blunt honesty was maybe something she’d regret later but in the moment it was all she could offer. He’d fucked up. And bad. She’d fucked up perhaps too in not making it clear he was the only person coming in the first place but… by god she felt she was justified in being more than just a little angry and hurt over all this, letting out a deep, pained sigh as she pulled her knees tight against her chest and rested her chin against them. “You did.”
She heard him saying he’d blow up, how she should trust him to do that at least and… fuck she hated that she wanted to chuckle. She hated it. She hated she even had the most brief instinct to forgive him for a laugh like that but she stuck in her heels and refused to let any joy out in her voice. He’d done wrong and he’d hurt her and he was not gonna get off easy even if he was the last person…no. ESPECIALLY because he was the last person she’d really been trusting lately. She didn’t even start to look across… until a streak of blue light flashed across her dark bedroom.
Her eyes slowly flowed across the room, and by the time she realized what was going on her phone was already beeping with a dial tone as Red had hung up to run over to her, the phone naturally drifting out of her hand as she pulled herself up to the windowsill and watched the display, her eyes still just… watching the clouds, her eyes imprinted briefly with the echo of the light show they’d just witnessed. She slowly folded her arms and rested her chin upon them, her heated forehead resting against the chilly window as she contemplated what had just happened…
He… he’d been setting that up in a blizzard… for her… She finally chuckled. Mostly in disbelief. She couldn’t help it. He… how on earth could he justify that to himself. That effort. That risk… for her? Really? He… he was so…
“Unbelievable…~”
The knock brought her from her daze and she rushed down from her own room, nearly skidding into a wall herself as she’d gotten some fresh wood on the stairs nearly sending her tumbling as she ran down them in her socks, still wearing the more lax clothes she’d been planning to sleep in at this point, her hair pulled free of it’s ponutail, a loose tank top and some casual shorts, a usual, non cosplay combo for her.
She scrambled at the bottom of the stairs, getting the door, and yanking it open, panting a little herself just from how she’d gone from 0 to 100 the moment she heard the door knock… what. What the fuck did she even say to what she just saw…
Not a thing.
Before she could second guess herself she broke the distance between them, grasping the front of coat and dragging him to meet her. Two instincts briefly battled in the millisecond their bodies met but one won out over the other. She pressed her face deep into his neck and shoulder, one arm wrapping around his head and grasping at his hair tight and the other doing the same to the back of his coat, rubbing her face deep into Red’s shoulder as he could feel the tears rolling down her cheeks gently brush against his neck, her face deeply warm at this point against his skin.
“Y-you’re fucking freezing you know that…?” She let out a weak chuckle, shifting herself to wrap around him tighter, holding him tight again wherever her hands fell. She almost refused to let him go, even standing in the open doorway with the blizzard chill flowing into her home.
She should probably do something else… he was a dense little thing he probably had no idea she was even crying with joy at this point or that she was feeling nothing but appreciation for him just downright existing, but she couldn’t get anything out. Yumi just had to express herself physically, and there was only one other thing she could even consider in how to express that but… after all that… she didn’t wanna lose him by taking her expression too far. Not with another person… especially not with him.
It… kinda hurt… but he was worth holding herself back.

As Red stood in Yumis doorway, freezing his ass off and rubbing his nose thanks to the sudden apperence of a street light in his way, he was starting to dread what Yumi was gonna do when the door opened. There were many possibilities in his head, such as: Her not opening the door at all and ignoring him, her opening the door and shouting at him, or punching him in the face, throwing things at him, telling him to go away, just a lot of things that pretty much amounted to Yumi fucking hates you, this will not end well, you fucking idiot. The worst part? She'd be right to do any of those things. He really shoulda been here, instead of on top of a building pretty much jerry rigging a fireworks display together for his own, stupid fucking reasons. He COULD place most of the blame on the blizzard for all the technical foibles but....really he didnt exactly have any good excuses.
So, when Yumi opened the door, panting even harder than he was, he thought he was pretty prepared for whatever she was gonna throw at him. To him, she looked very pissed off that he was here, and the fact that she said nothing to him just betrayed that fact even more. "I-I know its...probably not my place to a-ask but uhh...are...are you alr---" He'd try to mutter out, but a combination of his own awkward nervousness and the freezing shivers were making him stutter....and then Yumi grabbed him by the collar.
Ah, i see strangulation is her preferred method of dealing with me on this fine evening. He'd think as she pulled him in, expecting her hands to wrap around his neck and start wringing it like it was a wet kitchen towel but....she...didnt exactly do that? His mind thought maybe she was gonna headbutt or punch him before she choked the life out of him but she instead just....started hugging him for some reason. Since he was freezing he could feel the warmth radiating off of both her and the interior of the house which was....also rapidly cooling down due to blizzard.
"Uhh...Yumi? What are....you....uhhh...." was all Red could say at the moment. He was honestly pretty baffled that she WASNT just instantly trying to maim him in some way. He'd blown off her birthday for his dumb firework display, why was she hugging hi---wait......wait is she....is she crying? He'd realise, finally feeling the warm drops of liquid against his neck....in no small part thanks to Yumi rubbing her head into his neck like it was an eraser.
"Wait why are...you....crying?....i dont...what?" He'd question, getting even more confused on what was happening. By all rights she shyould have been telling him to fuck off or something but....here she was, downright weeping in his arms and holding him like she never wanted him to leave.....was she crying because of just how badly he'd fucked up or...was...was she crying cause she was happy to see him? It made no sense but....that was all his brain could come up with.
"Well when....when you've been on a roof all day setting up a stupid fireworks display instead of....in the warmth of your friends home on her bloody birthday....you get a little chilly....should probably fix that, in all honestly before one of us catches a cold." He'd joke with a blush on his face, realising that his plan may have...actually worked out for once. But, they were still in the freezing fuckin cold, and while Red was in clothes that were somewhat appropriate....Yumi was in a tank top and shorts.
So while she was hugging him, he'd manuver his hands to hook under her arms, gently lifting her off the ground a couple feet so that he could actually get them both inside and shut the door, locking the chill of the outdoors out where it belonged. Once he'd done that, He'd just hug her right back. He was an awkward bastard even at the best fo times, but if there was one thing he knew he needed to do right now? It was let her know that he was actually here now, atleast. For some reason, he just...really didnt feel like letting go for a while.
"Yeah uhh....next time...maybe you should....let me know that you're on your own so i dont spend the.....entire day doing something stupid..." He'd try to joke again, a bit weaker this time. He knew it wasnt exactly her fault so he couldnt say much.....however, that was all he was going to be able to say on that particular matter. Why? Because with how tightly Yumi was hugging him...she may have actually been choking him a little bit.
"H-hey Yumi...cant...breathe...." He'd squeek out, lightly tapping her on the back with increasing pace. He may have been enjoying the feeling of it, but he didnt particulary think he'd enjoy the finale of a bear hug. Even if he did deserve having his bones crushed into dust and passing out. |

“J-just shut up dork…” She let out, continuing to hold onto him. Really the emotions were just overwhelming for a moment and even if she wanted to explain why she was crying she was probably gonna do a very shit job, but at the very least she was smiling through it all and that was clear enough in her tone. She felt his arms wrap around her a little tight themselves and she was hoisted up off her feet, blushing a smidge as she pulled her head back and away as she got a chance to realize what he was doing, chuckling gently as she landed back on her feet once they were inside.
With his tease… or maybe genuine complaint that he couldn’t breathe, Yumi eased off the hold she had around him and stepped back and away a little, brushing her hair back and fixing herself up a little, looking to the floor but a smile still constant on her lips. Really it was hard to get rid of it at this point. “Yeah I… sorry. I really shoulda told you and… sorry for the choke out there…” She lingered for a moment, before reaching across and jabbing his shoulder. “You still coulda at least TEXTED you were gonna be late though trashcan… I still woulda been upset even if people where here and my best friend didn’t show up!”

"W-well i suppose i could shut up, but then you wouldnt be able to make fun of the dumb shit that comes outta my mouth, right?" Red'd joke, just feeling the warmth of both Yumis home and her hug, and savouring it for a bit. Sure, he probably didnt deserve it, considering he'd been a bit of a prick, since he'd left Yumi on her own for the entirety of her birthday which....to be fair, she probably should have told him that but it was still mostly his fault.
"N-nah, dont worry about it, i kinda deserve a good choking considering how i basically left you in the dark all day.....sorry, by the way." He'd cough out, feeling the relief of actually being able to push his chest out to breathe....sure, for some reason, he was sad that he couldnt feel Yumi holding onto him for dear life, but he wasnt sure if he wanted that to be the last thing he ever felt......though he...supposed there could probably be worse ways to go.
"Hey! I was planning too but with all the.....technical difficulties due to the weather, it might have....just...slipped my mind a little......besides i didnt wanna ruin the surprise and...stuff, okay? I had a whole plan and everything!" He'd feign injury, rubbing his shoulder after Yumi jabbed him and pouting just a little bit. Especially since Yumi called him her best friend which......for some reason, made him feel all fuzzy and warm in his chest, and he could tell that wasnt him just warming up cause of the central heating.
Yet, at the same time.....what was that.....weird, melencholic? Hmmm...he didnt know how to describe the other feeling deep down, but it was some level of sadness.....he thought. He wanst good with emotions and stuff.
"Seriously though.....how uhhh.....how come no one else showed up? Did you....just not invite people or could....they all not make it due to the blizzard?....or uhh...." Red'd ask, looking around the room and....noticing that it looked......pretty normal. As if there wasnt gonna be a party to begin with. No decorations, no ballons, no food or presents, really....."......Didnt uhhh....didnt wanna make it a big deal?" Red'd inquire, rubbing the back of his head in his usual awkwardness......he was starting to realise a few things.
Right now, he was alone with Yumi, in her house, with most likely no chance of anyone else showing up, as far as he was aware. Yumi herself looked like she was ready to go to sleep, with what she was wearing.....which Red suddenly became acutely aware of, spinning on his heel to not face her and rubbing his head even more, just to hide his blush.
He was real happy that no one was around, considering that it would mean no one could see him get like this...which'd probably only have gotten worse once he gave her the present he...had in his...pocket.....
"OH uhhh....by the way....i....can uhhh....you know that necklace i.....fucked up and thought it'd be nice to give to you as a christmas present? Can uhhh....do you still have that? Cause i....had an...idea and uhh....kinda need it." He'd sheepishly turn around, scratching his face and blushing just a little bit more as he asked, clearly having a hand in his pocket where "The Idea" was being held in his hand....god he hoped he didnt fuck this up now, cause that'd just make today even more awkward than it already was......but he had the feeling it'd just make Yumi laugh at him. |

Yumi was still just… a smidge fussy about the whole thing. Even with the elation of what Red had been planning and seeing him race over at speeds that… quite honestly were probably illegal. She really wouldn’t put it past him to have used his quirk to get here THAT quick, but whatever the case she was more than happy to have him here and any anger she had and frustration given how he’d nearly not even showed up was fading rapidly… and she could acknowledge it was kind of her own fault in part.
“I-I erm… Yeah. I.” She paused, wondering if she should just run with the ruse a little more but sighed deeply through her nose as she realized she should probably just come clean, her arms hanging a little low and a more defeated look on her face, one arm crossed under her chest, balancing the other elbow on the back of her hand as she twirled her finger into a strand of her hair. “I erm… I just invited you but… I didn’t want you to feel pressured to come. Guess that sorta er… backfired huh?” She admitted honestly, lowering her arms behind her back, not really able to look him in the eye admitting this was mostly her own fault.
“I just… wanted to spend my birthday with someone I know I can just… really trust I guess? I-I dunno… I know it’s mostly my paranoia talking but I feel I need to settle back in with everyone else after the whole thing and… while I’m friends with Feng too I just…” She lifted her head and gave a weak smile and a weaker shrug. “Wanted.. just you. I guess… I-I dunno.” She rubbed the back of her neck, blushing a little as she tried to recall how she’d justified this all to herself in the first place.
When Red asked if she still had the necklace however, Yumi paused for a moment, recalling how… earlier in the night she maaaaay have taken that off in frustration and tossed it across the room. “Er. Just a-“ She started to dart off to the stairs. “SECOND!”
Rushing back up to her room, it was still incredibly lightly furnished given she’d only moved in recently, but with piles of cosplays folded up in the corner they were soon tossed around the room as she tried to figure out where the hell the necklace had landed, leaving Yumi looking a little more raggedy as she came back down the stairs catching her breath a little, her red hair a bit of a mess and sticking out in some places as she held the little ‘token’ in her hand, the string of it wrapped around her fingers and the emblem showing on the back of her hand.
“O-okay er… yeah!~ Totally still have it I erm… I…” She tried to justify what may have been 5 minutes of banging from upstairs as she searched for the thing but tried to be honest again. “I… threw it. When you weren’t showing up… b-but it’s okay it’s not.. scratched. I think…” She started to hand it over, but just as it might have dropped into Red’s hand, she caught the string and pulled it back a little.
“You’re… not taking it are you? To keep I mean? L-like that’s not what you mean when you say you ‘fucked up’ is it? I’m getting this back right?” She didn’t even realize she was holding it in both hands now. The thing she’d tossed not many moments ago was now something she was borderline clinging to like a fierce dog defending it’s favourite toy.

"M-maybe....just a little bit....hehehe...." Red'd awkwardly laugh out, scratching his face as the blush on his face got just a little deeper. Luckily for him, he had the perfect excuse of "Totally Broke The Law" running over here, which is why he ended up misjudging how fast he could slow down and careening into a lamp post as he got to Yumis house. The contrast of the outside temperature and the central heating just caused his face to flush a little, thats all....right? He doubt anyone would have noticed a few extra masive piles of snow going into the air as he boosted down the streets.....or the bangs on their roofs as he jumped over them....was just the blizzard getting a bit worse, that was all. He had to hand it over to Yumi though, all she was doing was twirling her hair with a finger but for some reason it made her look adorable.
"Well uhhh.....you uhh....can definitely still....trust me to be a dumbass.....i guess.....who misses the entirety of your birthday cause.....he got a dumb idea cause he....may have....not....wanted to....look like an idiot in front of everyone for once with a big surprise......i...think i can....safely say i did one of those things today....." He'd awkwardly explain himself, sputtering a little thanks to Yumi saying that she just "Wanted him" for today....sent a fuckin jolt through his system, that did, didnt know why. Hopefully he wasnt getting burns in his chest from the rapid temperature increase or something.....that'd probably be just a little bad.
"S-Seriously though i can.....kinda understand where you're comin from with the whole....settling in thing. Its a bit paranoid but with everything that happened it......makes a bit of sense. Still uhhh....its....nice to know that the only person you trust right now is the dumbass who explodes constantly." He'd joke, trying to sound smug as he teased her, but he couldnt help the grin on his face from getting more and more genuine, leaking into his voice just a tad. Good thing that he was turned around so that Yumi couldnt tell....hopefully.
"O-Okay I'll be right.....here....!" He'd call out as he practically used her quirk to dash up to her room, rubbing his head in confusion. He wondered what caused her to do that, it wasnt like the necklace was that important to her right?.....Nah, probably was just excited to find out what his dumb idea was.
"You uhhh.....you okay up there?" He'd shout up the stairs, afer a couple minutes of hearing a LOT of banging noises. It sounded like she was trying to rip her room apart or something, it was really weird.........maybe she'd just lost it or something.....Huh, whys that make my chest hurt? He'd think to himself, rubbing his chest a little to try and get it to leave again.
While he was wondering though, he got a closer look at the rest of the house. It seemed pretty nice in all honesty, even if it was a bit big for one person to live in on their own.....he started to wonder how Yumi had gotten this place, even with all the fixer uppering he'd been doing for her. Maybe she had a roommate who was gonna move in later or something.....there were two bedrooms in here, if he remembered correctly. Right as he started to wonder that though, Yumi would come back down the stairs just as fast as she'd left....lookin like he did when he was at her door.
"You alright? You look like you're the one who ran around in a blizzard." He'd cheekily ask her, though clearly averting his gaze just a little bit since.....for some strange reason Yumi's hair lookin messy made him feel weird, but enough of that. "A-Ah....yeah uhhh....dont worry about it, kinda understandable t-to be honest....B-Besides if it was i could just.....try fixin it...." He'd awkwardly reply, with a dumb grin on his face. Atleast she still had it, which meant that he didnt have to jerry rig a new one together on the spot for his idea.....speaking of which....
"....Nah, Nah, dont worry about it. You're gettin it back just....technically not in the state it is currently in. Well i mean it'll still look the same but....Im rambling again arent i? But yeah, yeah you're getting it back, why would i steal it?" Red'd reassure her.....kinda happy that she was so attached to it. Kinda made what he was about to do it very ironic, considering how much the necklace she gave him meant to him too....for some reason.
Either way, once Yumi seemed comfortable enough to let him have it, Red'd get to work, pulling his tools out and heading over to the nearest surface he could use. It'd only take a couple seconds, but afterwards. Red'd pass her the necklace back. It looked pretty much the same....except for the button sticking out of the side of it now. "So uhh....you know how you.....gave me the chibi Yumi? Well uhhh....it gave me an idea so.....just press the button and see what it does, i guess? He'd start to scratch his face.......not wanting to ruin the surprise too much.
If Yumi did press the button, then what she would hear is Red coming out of it, saying "Dumbass has been notified your day needs to be ruined, he is on the way", followed by a notification coming out of Reds pocket, saying "Hey, Dumbass, Yumi needs ya for somethin, get over there to annoy the shit outta her!" ....which may have made Red cringe JUST a little bit inside, realising how terrible of an idea this was.
"So uhhh....yeah. I figured that having a pocket Yumi wasnt exactly fair so uhhh.....well technically its not a pocket me since it calls....me over....but if you only press the button down a second it just plays my voice so technically....ehhhh..... but yeah.....i can edit it real quick to not do that, or say somethin else or uhhh...........yeah......" Red'd awkwardly explain, rubbing his head and trying to ignore the cringe, or how creepy he was now realising that his gift sounded......which meant that he had to quickly change the topic of converstation.
"S-so uhhh....hows the house anyway? How'd you afford it and......stuff.....place seems nice....you really live her on your own?" He'd attempt.....pretty badly, in all honesty. Listen they were a set with the bracelets, so he thought that having a "Oh fuck, they ran out" button might be needed, alright? |

She blushed and pouted a little at his ‘you ran in the blizzard’ comment, she already felt bad enough she’d nearly lost the thing but she still tried to be honest about it, crossing her arms tight around herself and not really able to meet his gaze for a moment, even as he seemed to understand what had gone down there… her eyes flickered back to him as he made sure she knew she was getting it back, looking to the curved lightning bolt in her palm and letting out a breath through her nose, handing it over… albeit still seeming a little reluctant, as the necklace string seemed to not so-easily slide out of her palm.
“Better get it back…” She re-iterated, pretty sure she would but… okay maybe she wasn’t entirely sure. He broke as many things as he fixed so…
He worked on it for a moment, and she stepped a little closer to have a look at what he was doing, watching him sit down in her couch and leaning over the back of it as he worked off of her coffee table, resting on her elbows as she peered over his shoulder, almost flinching as he seemed to take it apart for a moment before piecing it back together… for a moment she actually felt like it was missing something. It was… weird, like seeing how a chicken nugget was made. You couldn’t quite look at it the same again once it was ‘cracked open’. It wasn’t bad in this case but… there was something different to it. Mentally just realizing it was a collection of parts and not a pure whole. It shouldn’t have really bugged her but… it oddly did.
“Hm? Oh er…” She’d been a bit distracted looking it over in her hand to hear his first few words, but ultimately pressed the blue bolt surrounded by a red outline. She’d only just realized it had always been designed to act as a button, chuckling a little that she never noticed, but as it finally let out a sound… she paused before snorting out in a chuckle, shaking her head in disbelief at both the sounds that came out from pressing the button. “Jesus christ you… fucking dork…~” She smirked, taking the necklace and easing it around her neck, pulling her ponytail through it and just… resting it over her chest.
“Ya know that is very, very, very dumb. I can literally just keep pressing this to keep you awake now… dumbass…~” She smiled, pulling herself over the back of the couch to sit beside him, resting the icon in her palm as she idly muttered. “… Surprised you didn’t make it say ‘Red Alert’.”
Lifting her head at the question of the house, she looked about. She’d done it up a bit, decorated but… it was still a little sparse. Could do with a few more things filling the space. Too many cupboards and not enough food or dishes to fill them with in the kitchen, small things like that… “Oh er. I saved up enough to handle a few months on my own but… that’s mostly buying me time to find a roommate…” She let out, rubbing her neck… letting out another idle chuckle as she commented without thinking.
“Don’t suppose the person I trust the most is looking for a place to stay huh…?”

"Yumi, I swear on my coat that you will, in fact, get the necklace back. After all, I already got my own." Red'd joke as Yumi rather reluctantly handed her necklace over, using his other hand to pull his Chibi Yumi out and pressing the button for some comedic effect. Hopefully that'd put her at a little bit of ease....even if she was completely right to be worried that he'd break it or that it would explode somehow, considering his reputation.
"See? Chibi Yumi says i can do it, so that must mean that you think i can do it too, right?" He'd chuckle out, with a dumb grin on his face.....perfectly willing to take a little smack to the head for that one. It was a real bad joke, after all.
He got a tad nervous putting it together, but he'd practiced doing this back at the dorms so many times that Yumi leaning over him didnt cause TOO much of a distraction....even if he did almost fumble his screwdriver onto the ground at one point. It was fine though, the thing was put in pretty quickly, and with how much testing he had done on it, he was pretty sure that it wouldnt explode.....considering it was just a small motherboard and a tiny wifi reciever, but he'd made doubly sure that nothing was gonna explode today. It'd look pretty stupid if his present exploded in both of their bloody faces, after all.
Oh god, why did I think this was a good idea, she's gonna think im a creep or something, oh god oh fuck this is so stupid. This was what was going through Reds mind as he explained what the damn thing was for. Sure, explaining it was an attempt to help deal with it, but it was, in fact, making it worse. It didnt help that Yumi was seemingly not reacting, just looking at it and saying nothing......
he may have wanted to just run away, curl up into a ball and die, but he was gonna have to face the music for his antics eventually.....which meant that, when Yumi laughed at him and called him a fuckin dork, seemingly liking it.....he felt the biggest sigh of relief leave his chest.
"W-Well yeah, i know......thats kind of the point....well not entirely but you know what i sleep like, so uhh.....yeah, its very dumb, which is why im the one who came up with it. Cause im your idiot." Red would blurt out, still just breathing a sigh of relief and running a hand up through his hair......before realising what the last thing he said was and blushing a little. "Uhhh....i mean....an idiot...uhhh.....bad with words, dumbass, you get what i mean, right?" He'd try and correct himself...badly, like usual.
But when she idly muttered about being surprised that it didnt say Red alert, Red just sat there for a second, staring at her. It was as if the gears in his brain had just suddenly, catastrophically stopped working all at once, as he turned his gaze away from her, to the wall in front. Slowly, he'd begin to actually process what she said.....and his face would clearly show that he realised that he was an idiot, just linking his hands together and leaning forward.
.......GAAAAHHHH, WHY THE FUCK DIDNT WE DO THAT!! THAT WOULDA BEEN FUNNIER!!! WE'RE A FUCKIN IDIOT!!! He'd silently scream in his mind, looking at the floor in disbelief.
"........Gimme it back, i need to edit it real quick." He'd ask, completely seriously with his tone of voice, still not looking at Yumi. Of course, he couldnt actually make it say that right now, but his brain wouldnt let him comprehend that outcome.....atleast for the first few seconds, when he actually thought about it,a nd just shook his head and laughed at himself.
"Yeah.....yeah that woulda been a good idea, wouldnt it. Makes sense that i didnt think of it. Seriously though, i can probably do that for ya, if you wanted." Red'd sarcastically joke, before dropping it at the end, with a cheeky wink along with it.
"Oh, Really? I figured you'd have enough to be able to pay on your own, but.....knowing your schedule, you probably couldnt keep it up or somethin, right?" Red'd muse, not realising that houses cost way more to rent that flats....though to be fair, Yumi being able to get this place while doing her cosplay thing, going to UA and training to be a teacher all at the same time...god wasnt she a model too? It was hard to keep track of everything she was doing at times.....even if he was trying to help a little with most of it whenever he could.
"Oh uhhh.......one moment." Red would ask, as he heard Yumi pretty much ask him if he didnt mind moving outta dorms to help with rent, since she needed a roomate. He leaned back against the back of the couch as he pulled his phone out, so he could take a quick peek at his bank account. He'd been doing a bunch of odd jobs over the winter, he probably had enough to pay rent if he split it with Yumi.....he could always pick up a few extra jobs if he really needed too. Just to help Yumi out, of course.
"....Hey, Yumi, this enough?" He'd ask her, tossing her his phone with his back account open, how much he had clearly visible......it was uhhh.....it was a lot more than it should have been. He really didnt remember taking that many jobs, so how did he have that much? But....didnt really matter that much, long as he could pay.
"If you dont mind me living in your garage, i'd be glad to move my stuff over tomorrow to help ya out, it shouldnt take too long to move everything......that is, if you really dont mind. You sure you want Mr Explody to be your roomate? He'd ask, scracthing his face awkwardly. It'd be weird but he used to live with his sister so he'd....probably be fine.....right? Man why did his head hurt a little remembering that stuff? |

Yumi rolled her eyes with a light blush as Chibi Yumi was used against her like that, turning her eyes away for a moment and admitting he had a point and a kinda cute way of making it too. Honestly when she got it back and just digested what he’d done she hadn’t really been aware of how nervous he was, but in the end, given Chibi Yumi of all things, he shoulda known she wouldn’t think this was creepy… the text function was maybe a bit much but hey she tended to talk to him in UA chat whenever she needed something anyway, even if she never actually expected him to do something about it half the time.
She did blush a little when he called himself ‘her idiot’, though she was sure that was just a slip of the tongue as he started to correct himself, chuckling a little nervously against the back of her hand at that and trying not to make a big deal out of it. “Yeah, I think you just proved you’re an idiot then and there.” She teased back with a light smirk, idly swirling some of her red hair about a finger.
With the gears turning in Red’s head Yumi could see what was coming, and at the very serious demand to get it back she’d burst out into giggles until he realized he couldn’t do it right now, shaking his head and giggling as he gave a more genuine offer to fix it when he had the time. “O-okay keep whatever inspiration quote is in there the same, but Red alert is definitely good for the text thing.~” She smiled warmly for a moment, but stepped just a foot closer with her hands behind her back, a sweet smile on her face. “Ya know… if ya like I can record myself saying it too? So when it texts you, its MY voice telling YOU Red alert… if you want, I mean.”
With the talk about the house costs Yumi did get a bit bashful. She could handle this place for a decent few months but… yeah. She’d kinda had bigger eyes than stomache so to speak in this case. She could easily afford a small flat or something on her own but this place, even as raggedy as it could be while she was fixing it up, was er… it just felt more homely, and she liked that about the place. She didn’t wanna feel cramped again like she was in the dorms. “Yeah er… I mean if It was all profit then I’d be fine but I don’t wanna give up my cosplay stuff to just model, and the cosplays require material costs and… yeah. Maybe when I get some more lucrative gigs but not yet, certainly.”
Her brow raised as she was offered the phone, and it took her a second to realize what she was looking at, her eyes bulging for a second as she muttered. “T-this is in yen right?” Not realizing that if it was in pounds or dollars it’d be even ‘worse’ for her to comprehend, what with Yen being one of the highest number currnencies in the world. She stared in disbelief before just nodding slowly. “Y-yeah that’s… that’s enough… no wonder you buy everyone snacks. Jesus…” She was almost kinda… insulted? Not by Red but whoever was hiring her for modelling gigs. She was not seeing her fair share if Red could just rock up with a bank account like that by comparison. She felt no ill will towards him though, of course not.
As he made the terms of moving in clear, she let out a chuckle. “I’ve got a spare room ya know… besides er… I’d be more worried if you’re okay moving in with the school slut. Don’t want you getting a bad rep… heheh…” She was clearly trying to go for a joke there but.. halfway through she realized it was still a sore topic, but it was kinda too late not to see it through.

"T-Trust me.....if we actually need proof of m-me being an idiot, i think we'd have enough to put me in uhhhh.....Dumbass detention? idiot jail?....uhhh....Lets go with Brain Rehab or something, that'll work." Red would try and joke to collect himself, taking a quick second to breathe and actually remember how words were supposed to work and how to use them. Yumi teasing him was helping him calm down in the brain department atleast.....
But when he looked back at her and saw her smirking at him, for some reason, he felt his chest get all warm and fuzzy again. Seriously if a woman twirling her hair around her finger was enough to give him a heart attack then he probably had a serious heart condition. He really needed to get that checked out at some point.
"Sure, i can do that tomorrow if you want, if you dont mind me taking it off your hands for more than five minutes....and without needing yourself to convince ya." He'd joke, tapping his chest where Chibi Yumi hung around his neck. Atleast his missing of one of the most obvious things he could have done in the world was making Yumi laugh her ass off, so really, it was a good thing he'd forgetten his own name when making this thing....any chance to get her laughing was a victory, after all.
"Y-yeah, i'd like that." Red would blurt out, not realising what he was saying until a few seconds afterwards. "I-I mean uhhh....having you screaming RED ALERT like a banshee in the morning would be a good wake-up call........very attention grabbing and all that." He'd try and cover himself, but it probably wasnt the good kinda cover. "But yeah, that uhhh....would be a pretty good idea, honestly...." He'd tell her, getting a tiny blush on his face thanks to Yumis smile. Oh hey, now that was causing heart palpitations too.
"Yeah, i can get behind that.....the place is nice, after all. Spacious, nice feelin, got your privacy besides the neighbours. Cant blame ya for pickin it even if ya cant completely afford it yet." He'd honestly remark, taking another quick look around. The place was clearly too big for one person to live on their own, considering how sparse all the funiture was.
You'd usually expect the place to be filled with pictures or posters on the wall, plates and cups on the dressers or....well, in Yumis case, anime figures on the bookshelves and cosplay materials scattered around, but honestly? Place looked desolate.....which to be fair, wasnt that shocking considering she'd only recently moved in but.....you'd think a house would have more stuff in it, ya know?
"....Y-yeah? What else would it be in? I might be an idiot but im not stupid enough to make an english bank account when I live in Japan.......I dont even know how I would even open one when i live here but....yeah, its in Yen." Red would confirm for her.....he honesty didnt think he was that minted either, but apparently he was.
Maybe everyone he helped was really generous or liked him or something, cause BOY, even with the amount of work he did, that was well too much.......He had to wonder if he was forgetting just how many Jobs he'd been doing recently, that'd probably explain how much he had.
"I mean....to be fair, I was doing that before I started doing odd jobs for people.....i just...barely spend money usually so.....uhhh...yeah." Red'd follow up, rubbin the back of his neck as he started to get a little embarrased about just how much he had.
Here he was, sitting on a perverbial dragon horde of cash from doing random bullshit, while Yumi was struggling to pay for a house on her own while being a fucking model. It was kind of a mismatch, in all honesty but.....it'd be fine.....give it a few months and Yumi would probably out pace him when it came to having a shitload of dosh.....probably.....
"......Well yeah but....its still your house.....you probably dont want explosions happening IN it....so uhh.....yeah, Garage'll be fine, i can blow myself up in there and i probably wouldnt break anything too important......besides...." Red would trail off, feeling like his reasoning for why he wanted the garage was a bit low priority right now, with Yumi being worried about what he was okay with. "Yumi......." He'd start back up, leaning forward to get pretty close to her, looking her straight in the eyes as he put a hand on her shoulder.
"Why the fuck would i not be okay with it? You think i care about what other people think about you.....or me for that matter? You're you, Yumi, and thats all i really care about. I aint gonna ditch ya over somethin as bloody stupid as that, cause then i'd be a pretty shitty person to trust, right?" Red would tell her, with a pretty genuine smile on his face and as he did.....before he decided to let a bit of teasing energy escape him for just a second, and threw a cheeky wink at her.
"Besides, you say that like i dont already got a bad rep to uphold. Its a badge of honour, really, when you think about it." He'd joke, getting a cheeky grin on his face as he did, squeezing Yumis shoulder just a little and going back to leaning back against the couch.
"Like i said, if you're fine trusting Mr Spontanious Combustion being around you 24/7, then you probably need to get your head fixed just a bit or start finding better people to trust, but I'd be more than happy to help you out. Why wouldnt i be? He'd tease her just a bit more. He rarely got chances like this, would could bet that he was gonna capitalize as best he could. |
