Poor baby Nai, so sweet and helpful and earnest. Even being told to go away doesn't make him flinch - he just does it, because he knows it's what Karoku wants. My poor darling. Come here, Nai, let me snuggle you. Everything'll be okay.

Karoku, love, please don't be so hard on Nai? Please? And please get better - I hate it when you're hurting. And worse, when you're hurting and you can't/won't admit it. *cries*

Dang it, Karoku......

Haha, Karoku knows exactly what Hirato's up to.

Well, as much as anyone does. But he's not being fooled by the perfect manners and friendly smile, at any rate. Darling Karoku.

Just one more time. Really. I can't help myself. I LOVE KAROKU OKAY.

Akari-chan: ".....Do you have any problems with it? It's not like I'm involved in your conversation."

Poor, poor, poor baby. That's not why you're standing fifteen feet away, looking cranky, with your arms folded like armor across your chest. Sweetheart, you know you're just amusing him more, right?

I'm trying to stop using the gif, I really am.

Hirato: "By the way, Akari-san. I wonder, why are you keeping such a distance?"

Ahem. Hirato, you jerk, you know why he's keeping such a distance.

And no, it's not because he's bubbling hearts. Poor, precious baby Akari-chan. How horrible is fate that it set him up to spend his life being tormented by you?

Wait, did Akari-chan just commend Hirato for something? *dumbstruck*

(Anyone reading these updates is going to get tired of that gif really, REALLY fast. I apologize. I can't help it. It's like breathing - I have to bubble hearts for Hirato and Ak- my babies if I want to live.)
