Prompt: Gamagoori can't find his earrings
"Gamagoori, just calm down!"
"I WILL NOT! THEY NEED TO BE FOUND NOW"
"Well maybe if you stopped shouting and sat down I would be able to look for them. You panicking will not help either of us find them, so SIT DOWN!"
"Mankanshoku, you don't understand! Those are my most-"
"Enough! You are falling into panic and you need to relax for a moment! Sit down- no, not on the ground like a baby! Come on, come on, on the couch so you can lay out if it helps. There! Now breath in, breath out. That's it! Your panic-induced flush is dying down. Do you need water, anything?"
"No...I-I'm alright now. Thank you Mankanshoku"
"You're welcome!"
"...what if we can't find them, Mankanshoku?"
"We'll find your earrings, Gamagoori! I swear on my mom's famous croquettes that we will find them safe and sound"
Gamagoori sighed softly into the couch pillow under his head. He knew they were here somewhere within the walls of the 34th hallway, possibly in one of thirty classrooms including the abandoned teacher lounge they now used as their base camp for their search, which was still fully stocked to the nines with everything a student could dream of, from junk food to AC to even crystal clear TV. He had dealt with a ridiculous string of rule infractions here and in his disciplinary duties had somehow lost his earrings, which made no sense to him but one moment they were there, and the next they were gone.
"So we should just start searching in the classrooms, each of us searching a different one and we'll be able to find it faster! Plus they're gold and shiny, so if we shine around these flashlights, the metal of your earrings could glow so we could find them!" Mako explained, holding up two small flashlights, "Now come on! We can find them easy Gamagoori! Trust me, if we can't find them here I will search with you for the rest of the night if it comes to it!"
Gamagoori slowly sat up, giving a weak smile to her before accepting the flashlight she placed in his hands. "Thank you. Now Let's move out! We have 15 classrooms each to methodically explore and search in hopes that my earrings are in them. Start from the far end so we can easily return here once we're done with our task. Is the mission understood, Mankanshoku?"
"Yes, sir!" she shouted, giving him a salute. Gamagoori returned one and opened the door.
"MOVE OUT!"
Gamagoori and Mako were on their mission for his earrings, running to the end of the hall and entering the last classroom on the left and right, turning on their flashlights in the hope that the metal earrings would shine under the bright light. They flipped over desks, went on their hands and knees to search under anything they couldn't lift, and when they found nothing they moved to the next classroom. They sped through them as the search seemed to continue on their pattern of no results, and Gamagoori was getting anxious again. Gamagoori waited in front of their base and Mako went through her last classroom, her flashlight waving around the dark room as the sun slowly sank farther down to the horizon.
"Ow, ow, ow! Stupid desk! Wow, it's dark!" he heard Mako cry, her flashlight dying out then turning on again. "One last place to look..."
Gamagoori watched as the light disappeared and the hallways was left in dimly-lit darkness. He controlled his heartbeat as it sped up and kept calm, making sure he did not slip in his control of the situation. Mako's head popped out of the doorway, flashlight pointing out with her.
"Not in here..." Mako sighed, walking up to Gamagoori as he wordlessly walked back into the teacher's lounge. His left hand went for his earlobes, finding the space his earrings once took up still devoid of them. Gamagoori slung himself on the couch again, deep in thought into where he could have taken them off or where they could have been at. Nothing seemed to click at all besides the tower rooms but Mako was not allowed up there.
Mako meanwhile wandered around the lounge thinking herself, wondering where they could look next for them. Maybe they fell out or something during one of his classes perhaps? Or maybe they were in the tower? She could only think of a few places at best, but most were restricted to her. She sat up on the kitchen table in the lounge's small kitchen area, trying to think of something else she could do.
She flung around her flashlight, turning it on several times before something shined back at her. Something sitting near Gamagoori's Three-Star shirt he had taken off, laid out on the other end of the lounge kitchen table. She scooted over to them and gasped in out surprise, while scolding herself on the inside for not looking around in the lounge more.
"Hey! Are these them?" Mako asked excitedly, holding up what looked like rings. Gamagoori was by her side, examining them carefully to see if they were and lo and behold they were.
Gamagoori groaned as he took them back. "They were in here the entire time?"
"Yep! We may look like idiots right now, but at least we found them right, Gamagoori?" Mako cheered, smiling from ear to ear. Gamagoori returned it as he slipped his earrings back on, thankful of their weight on his ears again.
"You're right. Thank you for finding them"
