[oh it'll be fun to watch natsume practice being blind in one eye from his top bunk, he guesses. maybe!!!
subaru slips his hand down just enough to hold natsume's, giving it a firm squeeze. he's here, he'll always be here. he'll say it as many times as he needs]
'Course! Bet you feel better about not having to hide anything from me too, huh~? One more weight off your shoulder! ♪
[even though there's still so much natsume isn't telling him, that's fine. it's nothing obvious to subaru, and it's not currently detrimental to his friend, so it's fine. there's things he hasn't told natsume, either]
( gross. even more gross is the slight warm that flares in his chest at it, familiar yet familiar, and he pulls his hand away because ugh. )
You're such a nuiSANCE. ( :/ ) But speaking of things I've been hiding from YOU... Well, it's more like it's never come UP. I suppose now is as good a time as any to show YOU.
( subaru, he thinks, would be absolutely enchanted to see stars right in front of him instead of just in the sky. he focuses on drawing them out, fingertips lighting first and then his palms, easy to see in the dark night.
one by one, constellations twinkle into being over his hands, small and faint but there. he rolled an 11 so this is the best he gets. )
[subaru cocks his head like a dog at first, but his confusion becomes the open awe that natsume seeks; he saw clamor do something like this when they got locked out of the hostage situation family meeting, but natsume doing it...
he raises his hands almost like he wants to touch them, hovering closer—]
Wow... It's like you're a real magician, Natsume! ♪
["[he's] always been a real magician, baru-kun"]
That's amazing! So you can do magic-magic now? Ahaha, they're so pretty! Can you choose what constellations to make? Hey, hey, can you do the Pleiades? ☆
( he can just perform fantasy-style magic now. the real magic is in that look subaru has, lit by the glow of stars. he'll miss it, he knows, but it's fine; he knew what he was doing. )
The celestial above have long been connected to healing and wellness TOO, so these pretty lights aren't just for show. ( well, considering his abilities they sort of are, but when he's better at it... when he's stronger... natsume moves his fingers like they have strings attached to them, nudging stars from their fixed paths to form the pleiades.
a constellation both of them share, that's important to both of them, for different reasons. ) But I wouldn't go hurting yourself just to test THAT.
( they also have other capabilities but he's been thinking a lot about the moon and the basic magic circle clamor taught him months and months ago, when things were still relatively simple, the student council president's murder aside. )
Oh, I'm sure I'll get hurt somehow without meaning to, and I'll race to wherever you are in an instant!
[subaru cups his hands beneath the constellation, heart fluttering at the closeness of it, and wonders if he can learn to do this, too. would it make it less special? would natsume be mad if he could? but it'd be cool, to create illusions like this whenever he felt lonely. the stars have always been his closest companions.]
You really are amazing, Natsume. This is beyond cool.
[he definitely could just stand here all night and look at these stars....]
( ...maybe he should ask clamor if he can teach subaru, too. natsume's expression softens slightly, and he makes them pop one by one in glittering, colorful little firework-like explosions. )
I know I AM. ( confident as always. ) If you need a special effects specialist for your next conCERT, you know who to CALL.
[fireworks too...!! they get a surprised laugh out of him and he's quiet until the last of them twinkle out.]
It sure is different here, huh? We actually have more school work than idol work for once. No big seasonal events, no shows to mark our progress, no SS... Just a normal school. Well, [he shrugs,] not reaaaally normal? But it's not Yumenosaki, that's for sure~.
[the sort of school he had snatches of growing up, moving from one to the next. this place feels a lot like those.
honestly, subaru doesn't know if he wants to hold concerts without trickstar. rikki's cool, but she's definitely more performance than performer... he doesn't know if natsume'd be interested, and aira might be too much of a shaking lamb to be up for it too.
but he also wants to sing and dance and make people smile, so maybe he'll figure something out...]
I wonder what kind of dreams people have here... Like, does Macchi wanna go international? She's really, reaaaally good on the piano, I love listening to her a lot... What does Hiroppi wanna do? Stuff like that~!
Probably just to survive to the next day so they can even begin to think about those DREAMS.
( a little bit of a downer there, but it's true. )
They aren't like you or I. They don't have to have an idea of what they want to do because they're in an industry that expects THAT. They're just... ( ... ) NorMAL.
Everyone's got a dream, Natsume. Or at least something they're aiming for, even if they don't realize it yet. So even if it's something they don't think they deserve, or they think it's unattainable, I wanna hear about it!
( told ori this and what natsume said and they said he was right, sorry subaru— )
Best of luck getting it out of either of those TWO. The little wolf will tell you it's none of your busiNESS, and Hiro-kun doesn't know what he thinks about tomorROW.
Hiro-kun and I are best FRIENDS. ( and him and maya are... something. ) I've just spoken to them enough to discern their feelings on certain toPICS. You're the same way with certain peoPLE.
