Chapter 2: Unnessisary Tension.
"Um, Dr. Mihara, I have to ask you something" Ogata begins, walking into the Doctor's laboratory; his footsteps echoing throughout the spacious room full of technological equipment.
"What is it this time?" Ichiro responds in an annoyed tone, "hurry up. I need to plan something."
"Well..." the assistant hesitates, "its about your apprentice..."
"He has a name you know? And what about him?"
"Well, why him? Why choose him over all the rest of the more promising crowd? I mean you didn't even look at anybody else persocoms."
"What are you getting at Ogata?"
"All I'm asking is why. He crossplays, he's an otaku, he obviously has trust issues, he's autistic, lazy, charismatic, and not to mention his heart condition."
Ichiro smiles and turns aeound in his chair to face Ogata, "It's simple. He reminds me of my younger self before Angelic Layer took off. Sure, he has many shortcomings, and other issues. But thats what makes him interesting. Also, he has more potential than anyone else in my class. Way before the event was planned I had already decided on him. Any other details as to why are hard to explain..."
Ogata nods before turning around, "I understand. Oh yeah, you should also plan something for the other students, so that their work doesn't go to waste."
Dr. Mihara breathes out a sigh as the door finally closes.
If only I could tell you... He thinks to himself as the flesh on his body begins to quickly melt away, revealing gaping holes in his palms. His face cracks in two places, as his usual white lab coat and black scarf reverse into a white scarf and a black lab coat. Time to go check on the timelines...
(Seiji's POV).
Well, almost immediately after the... convention... thing, we went home and changed into clothing that can only be classified as "nerd attire". No, not cosplay. We went and spent the day in Akihabara, and respectively wasted all of our rent money for this month... meh, our landlord probably won't mind... I hope.
So, appearently Umi ordered a custom, Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric cloak for Kojima months ago. We went and picked it up and now he won't take it off... he's even sleeping in it right now.
We ended up staying there until 2 in the morning, not getting home until 3, and then everybody just dashed to the futons and crashed. Actually, I don't even think that we have our own respective futons., I'ts all just one big mess.
But now everybody is asleep... except for the guy with a big-time crush on Yuki.
I quickly glance at my phone to check the time.
"God damn it, its five already?" I sigh. I look over at Yuki. Yup, just laying there on his back with his right arm stown across the mess, and his left flopped against his neck.
"Hey, Dragonfly," I say without even thinking.
"Hnh?" He responds, "ssaaaage boiii...?" I roll my eyes. Okay, its obvious that he's sleep talking. Perfect, maybe if I can practice with him, without him knowing or remembering anything then maybe I can do it IRL later...
"...yup," I take in a deep breath before moving closer to him.
"doooo you know where we put the figures we got?"
"Yup, downstairs."
"ok. good."
I take in a deep breath, "Hey, Snow. I've got something to tell you. It's urgent."
"what iz it?"
I... uh... uhhhhhhhhhh..."
"juz hurry up and tell me already..."
... this is a bad idea? Should I be doing this? Probably not... Fuck it. "...I'm... I'm... I'm in love with you!" I blurt out.
Kojima pauses, before he bursts out laughing, "Oh my god! That has to be the best joke I've heard all night!"
"You're joking right?"
"...unfortunately not," I face palm, "Ugh! I knew this was a dumb idea!"
"no, no it wazn't. actually, on this topic... gah never mind!"
I can feel my heart pounding in my chest...
"fuck it. i'll tell you. might as well hop aboard the confession train, because truthfully i'm in love with you too."
I just stare at him, "wait... are you serious?"
"Seiji, I wouldn't joke about that. You know me ."
He chuckles, "god! Do you have any idea how long I've been hiding that from you? Ever since the twelfth grade!"
"... well it's been that long for me too."
Yuki grins, "hey, if you confront me about it tomorrow and I deny it, just letting you know that I'm probably just being tsundere. Well, g'night Sage boi..." and with that he stops talking, and flips to his other side.
"Yeah... night." Oh my god. Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh. My. Gah! He can't be serious about it can he?! No... probably not. He was sleeptalking after all... I'll ask him about it tomorrow...
(Kojima's POV).
"Ah, shit! I've gotta go to work in ten minutes," I sigh, reluctantly saving my progress in Zelda: Breath of The Wild.
"RYOKU! WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT THESE DAMN FIDGET SPINNERS?!" I can hear Umi screaming at Ryoku again because he bought ten more fidget spinners last night.
I quickly pack everything into my shoulder bag.
"Well, I'm off."
"Hey! Yuki, I need to talk to you about something," Seiji says. I turn around to face him.
"Yeah, what is it?" I ask.
A/N: Well, I hope you like it, and I pray that it wasn't too cheesy. Also, I'd like to give a big shoutout to Lycoson, and his Chobits/Vocaloid crossover fic called Cybernetic Cabaret. It's easily one of the best fics I've read, and it deserves waaaaay more readers (Plus, its much better than mine).
Oh yeah! For thoses of you who aren't very well versed in Undertale, just look up Undertale Wikia.
