Yumi wasn't looking forward to this but, heck, who would be in this kind of situation? She wasn't even sure what she was going to say but she knew she needed to at least say something. She knew how dire things were right now, with the most wanted villain in Japan wanting both their heads or... hey maybe just to talk with them, but even then it was hard to trust the words of a villain on some vague message board right? Whatever the case, while she could understand the stress, she definitely just... couldn't take how Red was expressing it all anymore.
Sitting back into the couch in their home, Yumi was putting it off she could admit but she needed to say just... something. She was feeling like a child again in her own home. In her own life, and even her own parents had never been this controlling. She took a deep breath, glancing to the door that lead from the livingroom to the garage space Red used to work... maybe another minute or- No. No. Just... Pushing up off the seat she'd walk over, hesitating at the door with her arms folded, dedicated to it but not sure if she should knock or just open up. She decided to go with the later, easing the door open and resting against the doorframe as she looked to Red.
"Hey.... I think we need to have a talk, if you've got time..."

"Ah, goddammit." Hunter'd wince, havin clipped himself with the edge of the new welding mask he was working on. Well, "New". He'd had this thing for a while, but he'd never really had a use for it. He usually didnt do anything intensive enough to actually use the thing, since he usually did small stuff with a soldering iron, and didnt usually get called out to weld shit. It'd happened a couple times but not enough for him to have to carry it on him all the time....but now? It looked like he was gonna need this thing a lot more. WHich was why he was modifying it to work with his goggles. Sure, he'd lose the protective eye hole, but his goggles would be a good enough replacement for em.
God, why was everything conspiring to make his life hell these last couple months? First he ends up having to deal with becoming more than a "Hey, Hunter, Punch this thing for me would ya?" Guy, with all the fuckin emotional baggage that came with, then he has to deal with all of Reds fuckin confusing feelings for Yumi, which thankfully he'd somewhat managed to sort out real quick.....even though it fucked leaked into him, so now whenever Hunter saw her he had the same confusing shit....which was now even more confusing cause now he was in love with Feng or some shit, but since he was barely a person he had no idea how to fuckin deal with that....and it kinda felt wrong cause of Red but....Gah fuckin...dammit.
But, the funny thing was? That shit wasnt even the WORST of their fuckin problems. Now they both had to deal with people getting suspicious about the "Blackouts"....AKA Him taking over for Red and him pretending he didnt remember anything. He fuckin did, the son of a bitch, he just didnt wanna fuckin admit it. It was happening constantly now, due to certain recent events....Fuckin Ishtar, man Plus, now they had to deal with the fact that the gas mask wearing cunt had put him, Yumi, Feng Yuuto, and a couple other students on a goddamn hit list. It said they were wanted alive but that was probably so she could torture or try and brainwash em or something before she murdered em or some shit.
Of course, they werent about to have that. After Red had almost had a fuckin mental breakdown, He'd charged off into the night to find the only guy who he didnt know on the list, Fix, figuring he was underworld bigwig that he could use to get information on Ishtar. Sure, he already knew who she was.....in theory, he had nothing beyond Yuutos eyewitness account, but he got the same vibes from Sonya so that meant that she was Ishtar....probably.
He knew that beyond Yumi, Feng and Yojin no one would probably believe him....and Hell, he doubted either of the girls believed him, but he needed evidence before he actually said anything to anyone. Otherwise they'd just throw him out for being a crazy conspiracy theorist or something....Hell, he hoped he WAS, he knew how crazy he fuckin sounded.......well, considering the current predicament they probably were crazy anyway, but that was beside the fuckin point at the bloody moment.
See, He'd managed to find Fix. His plan would have been going great. There was just one teeny, tiny problem with it. IT WAS FUCKING YOJIN AND CHIM HE'D BEEN CHASING AFTER FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. So now Yojin, and by Extension, Chim, Momoko, Hye, Saito, Charlie and Angie were all, by extension, on the list too. And, unlike him, they didnt have a fuckin police bullshit watch or whatever....though to be fair that was a good thing, from a certain point of view. He didnt wanna think about how easily Ishtar could buy off the cops.
"Tch, again? Dude how do you do this?" Hunter'd mutter to himself, as the thing dropped behind his desk.......to anyone who didnt know, anyway. Of course, he'd get no response, considering Red was the fuck out right now. Dude had been pushing himself way harder than usual, so the need for Hunter to take over had skyrocketed.....dude was a man on a goddamn mission....hell, they both fuckin were. There was no way in hell they could sit still these days.
Suddenly, his ears would perk up, his eyes shooting towards the door that was opening. He may have been a bit jumpy today considering...you know, the Yojin thing. Luckily though, It was only Yumi at the door, so everything was fin-----.......[smear:#ff0000]Oh Fuck Yumis at the door.....Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.[/smear:#1979e6:0] He'd think, an "oh shit" look on his face and a tiny, surprised spark showing up for a second before disapatting
See, if there was anyone either of them didnt want to talk to these days, it was her. He'd been willing to step back and let her work with Sonya since....Yeah, he was being fucking paranoid when it came to that sponsership thing but.......well, he was still pissed about the Jaz thing. He'd made her those bracelets so she could defend herself if she needed it, not go out looking for a fucking fight with Jaz and paint a goddamn target on her back. Hell, he though she'd understand why he'd get antsy about that given what she knew about him, but....seemed she was determined to make him worry. So he may have....not really talked to her the last few days beyond the usual....and avoided her room for....obvious reasons.
Sure, he was probably a hypocrite, considering what he was doing, and planned on doing but......there was a difference. He knew he could handle this kinda stuff. He didnt care what happened to him, be that expulsion or ending up dead in an alley.....But Yumi? Sure, she could probably take care of herself but.......he wanted to make sure she didnt have too. She deserved way better than that, and he wasnt about to let her throw herself into the same situation he'd been in for the 8 years before he'd met her. Cause that shit fuckin sucked.
"................Dont particularly want to but.......ehhhh...........This about fuckin earlier?" Hunter'd respond, agreeing to have this thing but,...there was obvious reluctance in his slightly deeper voice.............Hey dumbarse, wake the fuck up.....please? Fucking please wake up you cunt i need you. He'd ask....he really hadnt planned on having this bloody conversation, after all. |

Don’t particularly….What the absolute fuck Red. She… god she knew that he couldn’t exactly read her mind but this had been really tough for her to work up the nerve to do! Could you not just at least offer her the courtesy of being polite about it and not putting on that ‘woe is me’ tough guy voice he had going on there!? What the fuck even was that she- No. no. Don’t Get… don’t get THIS bad one fucking sentence into it Yumi or this won’t go anywhere. Her brow furrowed in frustration but she dipped her gaze to the floor, took a deep breath, and tried to reorganize her thoughts on the matter before straightening up.
“Yeah. It was about earlier.” She tried to let out in a level tone but… it was really a struggle for her and clearly so as she rested her side against the doorframe. She’d thought to maybe take him out of here, sit on the couch with him but right now her only focus, the immense struggle as it were, was just getting the words out. She… she didn’t wanna even have this conversation. Not with Red. Red had been there, the person who… fuck even if he didn’t understand her sometimes he’d been blindly accepting of her but now that he was the one getting worried and paranoid she felt like she just had to shift around like a helpless child to keep him happy sometimes. Maybe she was exaggerating, maybe, but one thing he’d said had just been weighing on her mind and a part of her was hoping she’d just massively misinterpreted what he’d meant.
“Sonya was just on campus. She’s effectively my boss, I’ve had conversations with her at my job in the past. I don’t… I really think you were over-reacting freaking out like You did. I mean… she was on campus, full of super powered teens. What was she gonna do even if you’re right about her?” She probably shouldn’t be belittling his theory a little here but… god dammit she was growing frustrated with it, rubbing at her head as she tried to just get her thoughts on the matter out. She knew there were more issues to get through but this was the one on her mind right now and she just needed to stick to it.
“And… you freaking out. Fine. I can accept that. I can accept that your scared for me and you want me to be safe but… what the fuck did you think you were achieving when you threatened to ‘go for a walk’?” She asked quite forwardly. If she was wrong about this, fine, they had more shit to get through today regardless but this was just… she didn’t want another Yusaku on her hands, a helpless sap she couldn’t do anything for. Heck if she was right about this Red was just… a million times worse. “Like seriously what the fuck was that MEANT to convey to me? Cause you do remember the last time you ‘went for a work’.” She specifically added physical air quotes there- “You came back with a cut in your forehead, you woke up under a tree, and you made me panic about you cause, for some fucking reason, you have unexplained blackouts in your medical history that for some reason never seemed like a relevant thing to tell the person living with you, let aloooooone your girlfriend and-!”
She clenched her fists tight, she very much was a ‘gesturing talker’, and they’d been expressing her emotions a little more wildly as this went on, crossing her arms tight and breathing out through her nose.
“… Look you were either… exceptionally dense about what you said… or you effectively threatened me with the idea you were gonna walk out of here, black out, and show up with some unexplained injury… effectively threatening me with self harm so… which was it. Where you dense and terrified the crap out of me, or emotionally blackmailing me to get me to come home and-“ She bit her tongue, cutting her words to not go on another rant and simplifying her point. “If you were just being dense… you better have a reeeeeal good explanation as to why you thought it was okay to threaten me with a walk anyway, HOWEVER you meant it.”

Oh yeah, she's pissed. Hunter'd think, looking at Yumi's brow furrow in frustration, but trying to calm herself down so she could actually say things. He knew she was....pretty bad at this kinda stuff, if that time she'd asked hi---Red on a date was any indication...and trying to explain what she was like....and the whole uhhh....thing in England. Atleast she was trying to not blow up at him which....well, Hunter didnt know if that would make this easier or harder for him. Probably the latter but....if there was anything he was used to, it was dealing with people who were angry, pissed off, or just hated their guts.
So, as much as he didnt wanna deal with this, he just sat there and listened.....and honestly? The more she talked, the more he just wanted to not deal with this. He could tell he was gonna get angry here with every word coming out of her mouth and....well, he figured that blowing up at the woman who is very pissed at you was probably not the best idea.....thought it was looking like he was gonna have a hard time keeping it down....since the dumbarse was still not responding.
Open up man.....come on......if you love your girlfriend get out here or something bad might happen..... Hunter'd call through the metaphorical door that Red was hiding behind but.....yeah, he was gettin nothin. The fucker was either in the deepest of comas right now...which was also a terrible joke but yeah, or he was actively ignoring which.....God, if he was this fucker needed to learn how to actually deal with his problems. Hunter'd have to kick the shit outta him later.
"....Oh i dunno, considering how much she funds the place, im sure i can come up with a few ideas. Like checking how strong the next generation of heroes is gonna be, seeing what our quirks are so she can develop counters, turn Fort Slog into an actual death trap, see what security vulnerbilities are around besides the hacking thing, a whole number of things, Yumi. Its what i'd do if i was a bloody villian" He'd bluntly answer her question, leaning on one arm as he looked her dead in the eyes with a cold stare. He just needed to not get angry and everything would be finnneeee...right?
Though, it was pretty obvious that it wasnt the fact that Red had decided to almost blow up on her that was making her angry. They'd talked about this when she got the sponsership deal after all. He'd politely asked that, if she was going to do it, then atleast dont get too deep into it. He fully admitted that he was probably paranoid after what Yuuto told him and that he'd be glad to be wrong.....but if she could try and stay away from "Ishtar" as much as possible till he knew then that would be grand. And going up to talk to her was the exact opposite of that.
"Oh yeah, i remember PERFECTLY FUCKING WELL what happened last time. I woke up under a tree, not remembering what happened the night before which......if i remember correctly, was your fault in the first place, since you wouldnt let me talk to you and apologise for how i accidentally fucked up the class rep votes when you went over to Chims, but lets not dwell on that. When i checked out my face, i looked like shit, but on closer inspection it wasnt actually that bad. So, I gots ome first aid stuff, cleaned myself up, and told you........and then YOU DECIDED, to not believe a single word i said, and have me tied to a fucking chair when i didnt wanna waste the nurses time....and guess what? I TURNED OUT TO BE PERFECTLY FUCKING FINE, DIDNT I? Plus, you never asked about em beforehand. You remember how awkward I am, right? And they arent unexplained, i told Angie exactly why it happened. I told YOU AFTER SHE WAS GONE.....I think. She may have also told you, I think." He'd bluntly tell her.....letting his anger get the better of him for a little bit.
Though, to be fair, he couldnt really help it at this point. Due to the fact that his and Reds emotions seemed to be magically fucking linked or something at this point, he was dealing with the rage of two people right now. Sure, he didnt know what fucking possessed Red to say what he said, beyond blind panic and not thinking his words through.....but he could understand his emotions. And he was fucking pissed behind that door.
"So, to answer your question, its very simple.......I admit....I may have panicked a little bit, and said something that i didnt exactly think through....though we have two different definetions of what a walk is, but that doesnt matter. Also, i didnt want you to come home, i just wanted you to get away from her. I wasnt even in the fuckin house at the time, I was out on a break from work. Thats why i couldnt put your shakes in the fridge, cause i bought them from a store very bloody quickly. But even then.....i wanted a little payback. Thats why. Since you, apparently think im a fucking child.
Cause, if you're looking for an apology, you arent gonna get it from me. Cause you know what? Atleast i fucking told you i was gonna do it. Unlike someone in this room who, in her infinite wisdom, decided that it was a good idea to let Jaz paint a fuckin target on her back! Which, need i remind you, does not exactly instill confidence in your ability to not get yourself killed, Espeically these fucking days! Especially, When you live with someone, who literally had a very similar scenario happen to him! And guess what happened! He had to deal with people, coming after him, every single fucking day. You know, like how you found him when you first met? Or did you just, convienetly forget that little memory? So excuse me if im a little on edge after that. Hunter'd reply......still trying to calm himself down but....it wasnt exactly going well, considering he'd stood up now and had a very obvious cold, angry look in his eyes.
"You understand why i dont particulary want to have this argument right now? Cause Im still really fuckin bitter about both of those." He'd ask her, taking a breath to try and stop himself going further, putting his hands together against his forehead.....Goddammit, this was fuckin Reds problem, why was he dealing with this? Speaking of him....he was listening to every single word being spoken right now........really not wanting to come out right now. Even if Hunter was frantically trying to bash the door down so he didnt have to deal with this shit. |

"That's not-!" Yumi clenched a fist about her face, pressing her knuckles against her forehead, an idle spark coming off between some of the loose strands of hair that escaped her ponytail. She didn't want to turn this into a yelling match and was trying her best to keep her thoughts clear and polite while also making her point. "What was she gonna do... to me. Let's ignore the fact that if she was ever gonna be allowed near fort slog or anything it was probably gonna be with someone who can keep an eye on her given she's an off campus guest, but what was she gonna do, right then, right there... to me. Infront of everyone. Surrounded by heroes and other students. What gave you the idea that you could freak out that much?" She didn't raise her voice, she made sure to keep herself calm, if at most letting frustration seep into her tone.
"Right now, as far as I know, you have barely any evidence to go on. Barely anything at all. And you KNOW how i can overthink things and you told me anyway. I freaked out about fort slog myself to the point i dug into it with Angelica and some of the support kids. She funded it, yeah, but the support kids made it and... Ugh this. This isn't the argument I'm staying on topic." The last part was mostly aimed at herself, prodding her forehead with her fingertips to stay focused.
Yumi held her arms about herself and just listened to the yelling, holding her tongue and not about to turn this into a yelling competition. When she finally got a chance to put her own word in, she breathed slowly and spoke in a mellow tone. "'They have just happened since I was a kid' is roughly unexplained. Just cause a thing happens dosn't mean that's the explanation. You came in, I saw a head wound serious or not, and you told me for the first time that you apparently just black the fuck out and that's normal. Red you're training to be a fucking hero and the thing is I KNOW how awkward you can be. If I didn't make you sit down and get someone to examine you, you never would have gotten checked out. Ever. I can't have the worry of you apparently just... going out into the world, being a hero, blacking out cause it's too stressful and...." She clenched her hands tighter against her arms, just glaring at the floor as she held her breath for a moment. "You get the idea." She paused for a moment before adding. "I will admit though. I freaked out more than I should have but... the fact that that is a consequence of any time I just don't wanna talk to you or I wanna go somewhere else when I'm feeling tense about something? I'm sorry for the way I acted but it in no way justifies your end of all this either."
As he started to make excuses for why he'd been effectively threatening her the urge to tell him to outright piss off was burning on her tongue and her arms tensed harder about herself, breathing hard as she made sure to hold her tongue on those specific words. "Whatever your definition of a walk, whatever you thought it meant when you said that to me... you still, absolutely, issued that, and the milkshake thing like a threat. Even if at the end of the day you were actually out on a job... you still absolutely put it to me like it was a threat."
As far as the stuff with Jaz- "You do realize the only reason you even know about it is BECAUSE I told you right!? Cause I didn't wanna hide it behind your back! Cause I wanted to be open about it and be honest with you but still have the ability to make my own damn decision on the matter! And no, I didn't forget that, but Jaz is the other end of your scenario, the one terrifying enough to actually make sure it sends a message and..." She hissed through her teeth. "Ya know what you're right your fucking right it could still go stupidly wrong but Jaz is one of those few people from the first year of UA I still feel I can trust, so I trusted her on this. And even with the risk of letting people know, I told you, cause I wanted to be honest, and not to hide anything from you, so don't even dare pretend I didn't tell you cause that's the whole reason you even know about it." She briefly raised her voice through all that but tried to bring herself down again.
"... and if you don't wanna have the argument then what do you want me to do. Bottle this up to the point I break down outside the school gate cause that's happened. Not get any clarity so I still think you're effectively threatening self harm? Cause you still havn't explained why you said that. What was 'I'm gonna go for a walk if you don't-' Supposed to mean if it wasn't that black out your referring to? And even then, ya still threatened me with whatever the hell you meant. You worry that i treat you like a child when you don't even know how to handle your own damn emotions half the time...!"
She rested a hand against her forehead.
"...I don't wanna have the argument either, but I can't handle just going on like we are. I've got what's basically a hit list on me, I'm still trying to do both my courses, keep on top of my own personal career on top of that, I try to help out my classmates and make an impression so I'm not just dismissed as that dumb easy chick who makes money off her looks and... bottom line is. I can't handle all of that-" She gestured over him generally. "And this version of you, and if we can't even talk this out, and try to figure something out... then I'm out."

"I mean, you know how automated that place is. Who says she'd need to get really close to it?" Hunter'd lean further into the arm he was balancing on against the best, his gaze darkening as he looked Yumi dead in the eye. "But sure, lets narrow it down to what she could do to you. Simple really. Blackmail of some kind to force you to do something you would regret. You know, like how Yuuto go forced to stick that USB stick into a library computer? She could have abused the trust you clearly have for her to make you do something like that. Or use you to get some information she wanted. Or frame you for something. Theres a lot of things that i dont want to fucking think about happening to you, Yumi. He'd explain, with a sharp gaze.....kinda getting frustrated with both her and himself.
Why the fuck was he the one having to tell her this? This was Reds job but he was cooping himself up behind that fucking door. Hell, Hunter'd already tried bashing it down with his fists, a battering ram, even explosives but....nothing. The man really didnt wanna deal with his own fuckin problems these days....hell, he usually didnt deal with em, running like a bitch whenever something hard came up but.....this was a new low for him. The absolute fucking coward.
"Of course i'd fucking tell you Yumi. What did you expect me to do? Just keep it to myself? I blatently told you how fucking crazy it sounded, but After having Yuuto explain it, i couldnt just sit back and NOT tell you. What if he was right? I'd be fucking escatic if i was wrong but im not taking that risk. Not with you....but yeah, you're right, this isnt the argument." He'd reply, taking a second to try and breathe and calm himself.....it didnt really work.
"No, you fuck off with that. You literally locked the fucking door when i TOLD YOU I WAS GOING. I EVEN ASKED YOU AND FENG TO COME WITH ME, BUT NO, YOU JUST LOCKED THE FUCKING DOOR CAUSE YOU DIDNT BELIEVE A SINGLE THING I SAID!" Hunter's anger would flare up, banging his fist against the desk.
"You basically fucking told me that you dont trust me with a thing i have dealt with, on my own, for years. That you know better. So go fuck yourself, Im perfectly fucking justified. And, need i remind you, THAT I TOLD YOU WHY THEY HAPPEN?! CAUSE OF THE FIGHTS?! THAT DONT HAPPEN AS MUCH ANYMORE?!" He'd stand up, breath heavy at this point as he shock his head to try and shake the anger off.....didnt work again....god he hated being a lying hypocrite but.....had to be done here, otherwise something bad might end up happening.
"No i didnt! Unless you love milkshake so much you define someone saying they are getting warm as a bloody threat. But, disregarding that part, did you miss the part where i said i didnt think what i said through? My thought process was just "I want to go for a walk and cool off", thats it. I was panicking, the fuck do you want me to say?" He'd reply, fists clentching a little before he just....turned around. He couldnt look at her right now, he could tell his instincts were starting to flare up and that would be, literally the worst outcome for this fuckin fight.....but then Yumi said something very....bloody....interesting.
"Im Sorry.....what....did you just say?" Hunter would turn around, his eyes scarily calm as he started to grin a little bit.....but there was a fury behind him now. "That you...didnt want to hide it behind my back.....that you...wanted to be honest.....Ha....Ha haha.....Hahahaha....Yumi, you seem to have misunderstood what the word means." He'd start to reply, his quirk causing weird plasma-y sparks to start flying around him.
"See....If you were actually honest with me, then maybe, just maybe, you would have actually told me what you were doing. And no, i dont mean what you said. If you actually trusted me, then you'd have told me beforehand and given me a chance to talk you out of it. Remind you about how much a stupid fucking idea it was. Sure, it probably would have lead to an argument, but you know what? I probably would have been fine with whatever decision you made. Hell, i probably could have helped out with whatever brain dead idea you let Jaz talk you into.
But no. You werent honest with me at all. You just told me that to make yourself feel better about breaking my fucking trust. Deciding to use those bracelets, that i made for you to SPECIFICALLY ONLY DEFEND YOURSELF WITH, to go looking for a fucking fight. So dont you fucking DARE Pretend that you were actually being honest and not hiding anything from me. He'd tell her, pointing at her to make what he was saying clear. Why Red was fucking pissed at her. When Hunter was......goddammit why was he bloody pissed too. This entire argument was hypocritical as fuck goddammit, he was really starting to hate doing this......god why is my breath getting so heavy?
God, this was getting really bad. He wasnt equipped to deal with this, he'd only learned that he could feel emotions a couple months back, and now he was being pushed to the frontline of this shit? He was having to fight his instincts to not just slap some sense into Yumi hard, putting a head to his forehead to try and stop himself....but he was very clearly trying hard to stop himself.
"....What, so we cant even argue now without you running for it? The fuck do you want from us? I try and avoid this as much as possible SPECIFICALLY Cause you told us that you dont exactly handle this shit well back in bloody detention! Cause i dont wanna end up losing you canse im a dumbarse....you're all ive g...g.....god fuckin......god, i need to just shut up, before this turns into another Kaz situation......i really dont want that to happen aga---" Hunter'd try and say, but he'd get a shooting pain through his forehead, a hand shooting to his the side of it as he winced. He hadnt even realised that he'd accidentally been talking about.....the thing that wasnt the fight they had.....
God, why was his breathing getting faster? It was still heavy as shit......and why did his chest hurt too?....and why was Red biting his lip and clenching his fists so hard they were bleeding in the back of their head? Why couldnt that fucker just move, god dammit! |

Even with Red trying to give his arguments as to what Ishtar could have done Yumi just wasn't having any of it. And as he gave out his issues and what he was thinking Yumi raised a hand and tapped out her fingers as she listed her counters. "She can blackmail me over the phone, I also have noooo idea what the hell you think she can blackmail me with to begin with, I'm already paranoid of her, so if she does anything suspicious I'm gonna be all over it, so the abuse of trust is out too, and again, supicious as fuck, I'm very careful with what i say around her. And again, all this stuff didn't involve me needing to be on campus with her, there's no reason I had to leave and I get it now, you were panicing and you acted without thinking but maybe you could stop trying to justify yourself and JUST apologize!? Oh wait, no, you said I don't get an apology, cause apparently despite the fact your self admitting your a dumbarse I must be an even bigger one for not listening to you right?"
She hesitated a little when he brought up why he was so panicy about this but... no. She had a right to be angry and she wasn't just gonna quell it because he justified it as being protective of her. Her. Of all fucking people. As if she was the only person in this school who hadn't proven she could handle herself...
As far as not believing he'd seek medical attention- "Of course I didn't believe you! Before we got together I had to steal your fucking coat to even for a second believe you'd come back cause you have this fucking obsession in your head that you know best! I believe for a fact if I hadn't taken your coat back in England you'd have gone back to the hostel and left me in that hotel room all on my own cause you thought that was best and I will NOT believe otherwise. Cause that's who you've built yourself up to be. The kind of person who will lie or make a false promise cause the outcome you want is 'better'. That's why I didn't believe you, cause I was certain if I let you walk out you woulda wondered around the park for an hour, come back, and say 'oh i got checked Yumi I'm all fine'. Thats the sort of Red you've built in my head from the times you lie to cover my ass even AFTER I admit I did something." Honestly Yumi was realizing as she said that how much shit out of his mouth she really believed anymore.
"As far as the threats go? You saying 'oh Yumi i forgot this go do it' at any other time, fine, your being forgetful. You practically CHOSE to bring that up the moment you heard Ishtar was on campus. You were purposely trying to get me away from there with a fucking incentive, the idea of something else hanging over me, no matter how small or how big, it was a threat or at the damn least an ultimatum or a manipulation or a coercion. Do ANY of those words sound positive to you cause they sure as hell don't to me!"
She was struggling to keep her voice mellow now but in her defense he started the yelling...
Yumi didn't have much ground with the fact she never gave him a chance to discuss the Jaz thing. She felt she was very much in her right to make her own decisions and act on them and felt she'd done the right thing in at least informing Red, but all the same it wasn't something she was willing to argue. No. Ya know what-!? "Right. Right. So you should get to know everything I do beforehand so you, SPECIFICALLY, can talk me out of it. I get to make my own decisions and be my own person Red. Be glad you have the fucking pleasure of at least getting to know about it! Yeah you worried and you got to panic despite the fact I was with, and am myself, one of the toughest girls in this school. You didn't need to worry or anything, and worst case scenario? I never told you and you were just blindsided with bad news the next day! You...!" She didn't like thinking like this, these worst case scenarios but- "Yeah fine it wasn't perfect and if I was braver and held more trust in you at this point I might have been better telling you beforehand, but just be glad I told you at all rather than MORE angry! Cause I coulda just bit my tongue and never given you this to throw back in my face, eroding what LITTLE damn trust I had left."
"As far as the fucking-!" She pulled up her arms, tugging the bracelets off and tossing them across one of his workbenches. "Fine! There! I'm the same 'defenceless' Yumi who could kick half this schools ass to kingdom come if I wanted, so you can keep that part of your argument."
Yumi's brow furrowed harder as he started saying that her issue was that they can't argue, which was exactly the opposite of what she just said. "No. I'm saying we have to be able to argue you dense little-!" She ran her fingers through her hair. "You say you don't wanna argue and I get upset about that! What about that makes you think I don't wanna push through and actually get this all out? I WANT to be able to argue without the raised voices and the dismissive 'i don't wanna do this' but look where we are despite me trying really... really hard not to be here right now..." She was being metaphorical, of course, referring to their raised voices as she tried to grit her teeth and lower her own.
Things stood out... Red referred to himself as 'us'. Unless he meant the two of them which was... weird. And Yumi had no idea what on earth happened to Kaz but... here they were. The headaches again. Yumi couldn't yell at this. He couldn't help however his body reacted to shit but... she lowered her gaze, and took a step back, still angry, fists still tight at her side. She glanced up, waiting for it to... pass, or fade. She couldn't leave on one of those. It didn't feel right. Even if she felt by now they could be part of the issue thanks to Angie.

"Yeah. You are. Remember when she put a fucking gun to Yuutos girlfriends head? You want that to happen to your family? To Feng? To Jaz? To me? Or anyone else you care about? But fine, sure, im fucking sorry, you happy now? Im a dumbarse, who just wanted to make sure someone he cares about didnt try and get themselves killed again! Im not going through that shit again, dammit! Fuckin......sorry. I guess when you ask what i was fucking thinking I'll just apologise and tell you nothing next bloody time." He'd reluctantly reply.....he had to admit she had a point but.....god he really did not want to apologise. She could do whatever she wanted most of the fuckin time, why was this such a big deal?! This is literally the only thing he had done in a fucking panic, could she not just fucking accept that goddammit?!
"What the...No! Thats not what i think at all goddammit! Did you forget that i wasnt aware that i was in love with you at the fucking time? I wanted to stay in there with you, why wouldnt i? But im fucking awkward and didnt want to bother you, thats it! Cause of all the fuckin feelings i didnt exactly understand at the time til i found you in my fucking bed! And again, I asked if you and Feng wanted to come with me so you could SEE ME getting the fucking exam! What, did you think i was gonna somehow knock you both out and pretend? The fuck do you take me fo---" Hunter would stop, cut off from realising what Yumi had just said. What she really thought about him...well Red but.....god fucking dammit, why did that hurt him? He shouldnt give a shit, he liked Feng more! What the hell was wrong with him?
"...Is.....is that what you....really fucking think Yumi?" He'd ask, his volume getting very quiet as he looked at the floor. He felt like he'd just been stabbed.....no, a stabbing would be preferable to this. Hell, Yumi electrocuting him again would feel better than this, and that was fucking agony.....goddammit why did this hurt so fucking much?
"No, they dont, goddammit! I already admitted i'd fucked up, goddammit." He'd perk up again, using his anger to try and cover up what he felt but....goddammit it just made it worse. He wanted to just run but.....goddammit why couldnt Red be the one dealing with this, then it'd hurt less or something, right? He'd had a full year and a half of actually feeling things, he could probably deal with this....right? Right?
"Yumi dont you try and turn me into the fucking Gestapo. Yes, I will admit, i would like to know these things beforehand, so i can, and let me make this clear, ATTEMPT to talk you out of it. Did you miss the part where i said i would be fine with whatever happened if we had TALKED ABOUT IT?! You're fine to make your own decisions, Im not contesting that.......Just like i have the right to make my own fuckin decisions, too. Or is that right exclusive to you these days?" He'd fire back, getting to the point of anger and hurt where he was starting to form tears in his eyes but....goddammit he wasnt gonna cry. No. That'd just be guilting her into stopping. He had to push through. Even if he felt like he was about to hear a bloody heart attack.
"And Yumi, Like i said before, at the time....I do not give, a flying fuck, who Jaz is. Yes, im aware she is one of the toughest people in the school. Yes, im aware that you are probably THE STRONGEST person in all of UA, including teachers. I knew you would probably be fine but..... That doesnt matter. You could have been with literal Jesus Christ and i would still act the same. Yes, im glad that you decided to tell me, but that is very much outweighted by everything else, So dont you dare tell me that how i should be feeling." He'd argue, as his eyes slowly followed what Yumi was doing....taking off the bracelets he gave her.....
"......Yeah. Maybe you could. But thats with your suit on. Tell me, without that....what happens? Cause as far as im aware, all you can do is nuke half a city block, and since people can hide in buildings.......Yeah, you are fucking defenceless after that." He'd solomnly say, looking down again so Yumi couldnt see his eyes. Fucking Red had made those, why did it hurt HIM to see them get thrown in the garbage.....Why was he reaching for that necklace Yumi gave him.....why was he holding onto it for dear life now? None of this made any sense.......
God, he was barely hold it together. Usually the pain form these headaches just....faded after a few seconds but this one was getting worse and worse. He could barely hear what Yumi was saying to him, but that was just making it worse. Combine that with the pain in his chest and he just wanted to pass out or something. His breathing was getting heavier too, making him slowly lower himself to the floor and just....sit there. And then the sound of shattering glass rang through his head.
[smear:#ff0000]"I just....i.....Im.....Im sorry I......im sorry"[/smear:#1979e6:0] Red would start chanting. his awkward stuttering and fast talking coming out in force. He didnt know what possessed him, but he'd busted his own door and punched Hunter out of the way so he could start talking again but......now that he was here he didnt know what to do. "Im......sorry......im....just......terrified.....of.....being....useless.....again...i.....i....couldnt......i.....cant.....help......im.....a....terrible......uhhh....sorry....sorry.....you....deserve.......better......i....im.....sorry.....i...just....my....fault....Kaz......Sis........" He'd continue saying words, but he wasnt making sense. How could he? He couldnt make sense of what was bloody happening right now either.
He was rapidly pressing the Chibi Yumi button, its voice loudly echoing through his brain and probably audible to Real Yumi, but it wasnt working. No matter what he did, he couldnt stop the images in his mind. The explosion, the fire, his sister, Kaz, his parents......Yumi and Feng being taken by them too, disappearing into the flames as he just.....watched......everything he'd tried to bury just coming back to him at once.
"I....I....I......H...hu...hur...t......h...he....hel.........p......." |

At this point Yumi was just tensing up and gritting her teeth... she still felt how she felt. She felt she had at least some right to be angry and pissed and she could understand the panic Red might be going through but in all seriousness it was eating her up too having that weight of HIS panic on her shoulders and... on some level she just wasn't ready to take much more of it. She didn't wanna shout and to keep going in circles about this but she didn't know where else to go either. Her eyes were downcast and her arms tight over her chest. Even as he made a point about the blackmail and even as he showed signs of really being hurt by her being unable to really, fully believe him sometimes.... she didn't have a response. On the blackmail it still didn't justify making her leave the school grounds when Sonya was there in the middle of the day and as for the belief that he was a liar... it was how she felt. It used to be charming that Red that had build up as they'd came together in the first place but... the charm of it was gone now that she was feeling the side effects of the image she'd created of him.
He went on to paint it like she was making him out to be the gestapo and... yeah. In the heat of the moment her anger was exagerating her issues but she was being a little too proud herself to admit anything at this point. It kept coming around in her head. He was the one who started raising his voice he was the one making her feel coddled and pathetic and... honestly that comment about her basically being nothing without her suit? Despite the years of training and the ways she tried to make herself something, trained herself to be able to be worth a damn if her quirk wasn't there to defend her... it stung, and just as she was calming she tensed back up, more hurt than angry in that brief moment as she realized that, maybe just by sheer comparison, she'd always look defenceless without her quirk to back her up. She didn't say anything, she didn't wanna yell again, she was just bottling it down for the moment as her amber eyes picked a point on the floor to her right to lock onto and just take the rest of Red's points.
The apologies started to chime and for a moment Yumi remained tense, not looking, until out of the edge of her vision she could see Red made it to the floor, her eyes opening up as his words became staggered... was her pressing the... oh... fucking hell. She could feel it tug at her chest in turn and her anger tried to win over, tell her not to feel guilty about this... Soon enough though she was making her way to the floor, sitting with her back against the nearest surface to Red, her forehead feeling tense and numb. She might cry her eyes out about all this later but right now it seemed she needed to be the one keeping her head up. The urge to just hug him and ask what was wrong was there but... right now she couldn't justify giving into that instinct... just sitting there with him, perhaps to just not deal with the guilt she'd feel if she walked out at this.
"... Stop pressing the button already... I'm still here." Yeah... that was about as much as she could muster right now. Being here.

God....God ive fucked up here havent I? Hunter would think to himself, looking at the floor so hard he could probably stare a hole to....well not China considering how close that was so uhh....The US?....Nah, he was digging a hole back home here, and it sucked. He'd been pretty much running on auto pilot every since Yumi tried saying she was honest about what she'd done, and getting.....he didnt know, called out for being a liar? He may have....been lashing out just a little bit. God is this what lashing out was? Is this what he'd technically been doing for years but...you know without the emotions and all that. Though to be fair everyone else deserved it....Yumi really bloody didnt....
Suddenly, he felt a massive pain on the side of his head....mostly due to being fuckin knocked aside with a punch to the face. he flew backwards a fair distance, feeling like he'd been punched by his own fuckin quirk which....well, considering it was Red who fuckin punched him, might have been the truth. He was surprised though.....what had caused him to finally fuckin come out?....the fuck was he even trying to fuckin do?
"....Hey what are the fuck do you think you are doing?" He'd ask, dumb founded. The guy looked like he was about to have a panic attack, which....well, he wouldnt be surprised. The guy had been running from his problems all his life, so logically he'd run now but......why was he still here? Why'd he come back? The fuck did he think he could accomplish now?
"I...I....i dont know, i just moved, alright?! Now shut up and let me....let me......" Red would try and reply, but he was freezing up. He knew what he had to do something. If he didnt then this would just be a repeat of what had happened before but.....but he didnt know what to do. What if he fucked up again? What if in trying to do something he made it worse? What if he.....he.....lost......someone else....again....He......
"Huh? Wha...Ahhhh...." Red in the real world would say, falling backwards in the opposite direction of where Yumi was leaning, holding himself up with shaky arms as he looked at her. His hand had dropped from the necklace, but he still wasnt doing well. Hell, you'd think he'd be happy that Yumi was here for him but.....instead he looked outright fucking terrified. He'd quickly start scurrying away, but he quickly hit the other wall, pressing his back against it in pure fear.
"I....I......I.......so...sor....my....fau......faul......." He'd tried to say, but his throat started seizing up. It felt like someone was choking him, like he was back in that street, fighting those 15 year olds. His head felt like it was about to split open with all the pain coursing through it, and his chest? That felt like someone was crushing it with a vice. It was getting really hard to breathe too, his breathing coming fast, hard, and heavy.....cause he was spiralling into a panic attack.
Oh god no. Ive done it now. Now she knows how horrible i am. Now she knows how much of a useless piece of crap i am. Now she knows how much of a failure i am. Thats why she hurt me.......Goddammit no! Shes gonna leave. Fengs Gonna Leave....Everyones gonna leave.....Im back to square fucking one...... He'd start spiralling his head, burying his head into his hands and curling up into a ball. He couldnt do anything....Why did he ever thing he could? Why did he even come out here again......he should just....
"Hey, Dumbass! You gonna just sit there and do nothing? Or did you punch me in the face for no fucking reason?" Hunter'd call out to him, wiping his mouth and getting up. He could feel everything Red was going through, echoing in his brain...and honestly? It pissed him the fuck off. The guy fuckin buried his shit so deep it become a person, and now he thought he was capable of fixing his own problems? What did he think Hunter was, some shit that needed taking out or something? Bullshit. "Either do something, or fucking move. Im telling her exactly whats up." He'd declare, starting to move forward but....god it was hard with this guy's emotions piercing through him. "Stop running from your fuckin problems and Dumping them on me! Do something you fuckin prick!"
Red, on the other hand, was getting even worse. Sure, he was spiralling before, but atleast that was just him being fucking terrified. If Hunter told her everything though...what......what would happen? Would Yumi....Would Yumi go okay with that? The fact that he'd kind of lied to her for months.....mostly by omission, but still.....or...would she.....do the same thing she did with....Yusaku.....No, no he couldnt...he didnt want to think about that he just....God he needed help, he couldnt get through this, he didnt wanna think about it, he just wanted to....wanted to.....he wanted everything to just.....go away. He wanted things to go back to the way they were before all this shit bloody started.
"S-sis......Sis where are you.....i....Where are you dammit!....Sis....." He'd start to mumble to himself in the real world...but...well....the Hyperventilating was getting worse, as the tightness in his chest worsened. All the things Yumi had said, the flashbacks, the fear of what could happen in the future, Hunter threatening to spill everything.....It was too much. He'd bottled everything up for too long, and now it was comin to bite him in the arse. He'd slowly fall to his side, struggling to breathe, holding his chest as he started to slowly lose conciousness.....all he could really say right now was one thing on an endless loop.
"Im.....sorry......my....fault ....Kaz.....Sis..........im....sorry....my...fault........" |

Yumi watched him shift and scutter away, pulling her own knees up to her chest and while a part of her was concerned she was almost a little dead behind the eyes at this point. The argument had already left her somewhat numb and watching this sudden turn, watching him collapse like this... medical reasons, psychological reasons, whatever it was she wasn't equipped to deal with it. Even as he apologized again she didn't know if he meant it now or if the potential consequences were just hitting him and he was panicking now. She physically bit the inside of her lip, not wanting to say something she'd regret herself. Be it kind words of support or harsh words to put this to an end in someway... She just wasn't equipped for this and... as much as her instincts told her to move closer to him and to hold him she didn't want to see herself offering support she may not be able to back up once he could breathe again. She'd hold her knees tighter to her chest as he fell down to his side and started talking about... his sister, and Kaz again. Maybe Angie's theory was wrong in who the targets where but something was clearly bubbling to the surface here. As he continued to hyperventalate she had to dig her nails into the sides of her knees to hold herself back from any instinctive motion. She couldn't... justify supporting him here... cause what could she even really do that'd mean a damn thing in the long run. As he got quieter quieter... Yumi'd remain silent. He was incoherent. What could she even say. Eventually he'd likely go silent, and Yumi would watch his eyes fall closed. Shifting across the floor she'd sit against the wall he'd scurried up against. She reached out, a reflex to run her fingers through his hair pulled short as her hand flinched before reaching him. She tried to take another angle on this, remembered her hero training and just... treated him like a civilian. A hand infront of his mouth let her know he was still breathing, and a light finger against his neck made sure his pulse was... well it was probably fast but otherwise he was alive. Her hand would finally come to rest down in his blonde heir, sliding her phone out of her pocket and typing away at her phonebook, bringing up Angelica's number and speaking quietly as she sat there. "... Hey I... talked to him. He..." She glanced back to him. "Well..." She sighed deeply, a part of her feeling Red wasn't going to trust her either if he woke up in a hospital. "... it didn't go well. I'll talk to you more later." She'd stay on the line as much as she needed to to assure Angelica everything was fine, at least for now, before putting down the phone. Shifting up off the floor, it'd take her a bit to do so comfortably but eventually she'd be the one lifting Red. It took some effort but she hadn't been a slouch these past two years at UA, having enough muscle to at least carry him to his bed with some effort. She'd take the time to lay some water by him, lay a blanket over him and... Well. She couldn't stay here. She'd send Feng a text telling her to get home when she could and that Red needed someone looking over him but beyond that she just... didn't know what she could really do here anymore. She'd slip back to her own room, working on packing an over night... over weekend....suffice to say a semi permanent stay-bag, hoisting it over her shoulder. She'd peek back in on red, a hand hovering against his lips one last time. Water left by his bed. Some food...
And... she was out.
