A/N: This is something I thought of recently and just couldn't resist. It's not a scene as such, but instead a text conversation between Haru and Hiromi, mostly inspired by the banter that my best friend and I share. (She's the same friend who I base a lot of Hiromi's personality traits on.)

To make things easier, Hiromi's texts are in italics, and Haru's are just plain text. Sometimes Haru or Hiromi will send multiple texts before the other can reply, so it isn't always alternative speaking.

Chapter 2: Texts: Haru and Hiromi 1

[11.11.14]

Doctor Who!

NO I haven't caught up yet!

*evil grin*

If you give spoilers, I'll tell you who next dies on GoT.

You wouldn't.

*evil grin*

... Seriously, you need to watch it. GO WATCH IT.

Hiromi, I'm at a family reunion. Stop.

BUT ITS THE FINALE.

I know.

THE FINALE!

I KNOW.

I NEED TO FANGIRL WITH SOMEONE!

You have Tumblr.

*pout* It's not the same.

Go annoy Toto or Muta.

They don't watch it.

Go annoy them anyway.

*sobs*

*throws tissue box*

*tissue box strikes * Girl down! Girl down!

Moron.

Ack! It got me! Goodbye, cruel world!

Drama queen.

Spoilsport.

Rabid fangirl.

XD I know. By the way, you need to watch this. [Link]

What is it?

Just watch it!

...

Or don't you trust me?

...

I'm hurt.

Cry me a river.

I did. You knocked me out with a flying tissue box.

*rolls eyes*

Are you watching it?

Haru?

Haru, are you there?

HARU

HARRRRRUUUUUU

! Flip. Freaking... lkjasflkjasd

*evil grin* You watched it, didn't you?

I hate you so much.

We need to play this game!

NO

YES

WHAT IS YOUR OBSESSION WITH HORROR? Also, stuff you. I freaking jumped out of my skin and screamed and now all of mum's relatives think I'm crazy.

And?

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S WAS BAD ENOUGH WHY IS THERE A SECOND GAME?

Now look at who's killing the caps button.

You're in such trouble, missy.

I laugh at the face of danger.

*in. You laugh in the face of danger.

Don't question my Disney knowledge!

I'm surrounded by idiots...

Ouch. That's not nice. Your family are lovely.

... You know I'm talking about you.

Me? What have I done? By the way I bought a new dress!

Case in point.

You're meant to ask me what it's like.

You're going to tell me anyway.

True. XD Or I could just send you a picture.

So?

What d'ya think?

Isn't it pretty?!

Is it meant to have the hole in the back?

It's fashion. Not that you would understand that.

There's a hole. In the back. How does it even stay on? How much back does it show?

My back is fabulous.

... You know I always read 'fabulous' in Edna's voice, right?

Yep. And my back is still fabulous, darling.

I imagine it's much like any other back.

You know, with skin and stuff.

I do have skin.

That's a good start.

I have shoulder blades and all.

Like, literally, shoulder BLADES. I'm like Wolverine, except my claws are at my shoulders.

You're so lucky I understand you.

You're so lucky you have an awesome friend.

Oh, Baron? I know, he is cool.

! ME YOU IDIOT

Also, Baron's hot. ;)

... You can't say that.

Why not? Are you denying the fact that he's hot?

I can't answer that.

Why not?

He's practically our flatmate! It's weird!

Not if he's hot. ;)

You're terrible.

Are you saying he's not hot?

He's a good friend.

That's different.

Yes.

He could be a good friend AND hot. Like, in an objective way.

We escalated so quickly from your shoulder blades to Baron.

You're still not answering the question!

FINE.

He's cute.

In an impartial, easy-on-the-eyes way.

In a just friends way.

In a totally not romantic way.

And if this ever gets out, I. Will. Skin. You.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

Methinks the lady's friend is a terrible gossiper.

You wouldn't skin me.

I will spoil the entirety of Game of Thrones for you. I will write the name of everyone who dies on post-it notes around the kitchen. I will sketch their death scenes on the mini white board. I WILL SPELL OUT THE NAMES OF THE DEAD IN ALPHABET PASTA AND YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE MY WRATH.

Sometimes I'm really glad you don't watch How To Get Away With Murder.

*grin* Can we get back to your backless dress?

No. This is much more fun.

*cruel, you meant.

Oh, UPDATE. The boys have a Wii now.

Toto and Muta? What? Also, random change of subject.

I just remembered.

Did they buy the new Wii. Wii U or whatever?

Nah. Just the original old one. Pfft, like they have enough money to spare on a new game console. Toto's cousin got the new one, and passed on the old Wii to him. They're just setting it up now. They got a few old games with it too.

Yay?

They got Mario Kart.

YAY!

Okay, we are totally crashing at their place for a games night.

Agreed. That's what I was thinking.

Already our minds are becoming one...

Already? Dude, we've known each other for the last fifteen years.

I know. And I've been trying to get rid of you for fourteen. :P

I know. I've just stuck around because annoying you is just too much fun. :P

WHY DO ALL THE CRAZY PEOPLE GRAVITATE TO ME?

BTW, one of my aunts just asked me when am I going to find a nice guy and I just died of embarrassment. SAVE ME FROM THE FAMILY REUNION!

Lol, sorry but my superhero cape is in the wash.

APPARENTLY MY AUNT HAS GOT A VERY NICE NEIGHBOUR WHO HAS A LOVELY SON AND I SHOULD TOTALLY GO AND MEET HIM SOMETIME WHAT IS MY LIFE?

Lololol.

You're a horrible friend.

Lololololol.

Stop.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

STOPSTOPSTOPSTOP.

Are you texting me while talking to your aunt?

...No...

That would only be the case if I actually had a chance to talk back.

You should totally go and socialise more with your family.

And find out about the neighbour's cute son.

And get his number.

And give that number to me.

There's no guarantee he's cute.

AT LEAST LET ME DREAM

No.

You could at least pretend to think about it.

Uh... No.

I thought about it this time.

Why are we friends?

This is something I've been wondering for years.

Okay, now I really need to go – I've just got a dirty look from my aunt and I think my mum is about to come over...

Oooh... Are you in trouble?

Should I stop texting?

Stop.

Don't leave me! I'm so bored!

Stop.

My best friend has just abandoned me! What am I to do? I feel so WORTHLESS. NOOOOOOOOO

I'll see you tomorrow, Hiromi.

K. Bye. 3

Bye. Love you too.

ooOoo

A/N: I hope you enjoyed that (I loved writing it!), and I am seriously playing around with the idea of more little chapters like this, probably between different characters. I know it's short, but I couldn't write too much of this without their conversation becoming forced.
