Pairing: Ambiguous Zuo x Ko, if you want to view it that way. Or not. It works purely on a friendship level as well. The choice is up to you.
Summary:
Hebigami Ko won't go anywhere without Kuki Zuo.
"School's…a bother. If Zuo isn't here, I'm not going."
"What a guy, this Ko! If he doesn't see me, he skips! Oi, Ko! Stop being sad! I'm here, so c'mon!" Kuki Zuo cringed through an atypically calm as-close-to-an-apology-as-you're-gonna-get for his Shadowverse partner, whose downcast/sleepy expression was aimed interminably…down. Zuo didn't give a rat's ass about school, but he felt a certain duty to intercept his devil-may-care attitude making Ko more remote.
Funny Zuo should care that Ko avoid emulating his worst instincts. Cuz their go-to combination play was turning their cards into copies of a single Follower!
For Hebigami Ko, "sad" and "happy" existed at the same point on the spectrum. He seldom spoke above a whisper unless he was really losing it, and his bowl cut blocked a good portion of his face, you couldn't make it past "creepy stalker kid" vibes.
A player seeking to take them on had a dilemma. Do you approach Zuo, the loose cannon? Or track down Ko, the indecisive, empty-eyed clinger?
Most likely, they'd bait you as the target in their hunt.
That's the stratagem the pair trapped Ijuin Kai with. Luring him into a battle with Zuo, while Ko sniped Kai's hand from behind and fed Zuo the information via phone.
Now, someone was luring Ko out using Zuo. At least Ko wouldn't plank hard on the pavement this time, how he planked on Genesis Island when Kai called out their cheat.
"You'll get to class, right, Ko?"
Ko flopped his sleeves over to Zuo slackly. "Right."
Crazy goblin! Zuo cackled maniacally in his head.
Crazy neanderthal. Ko yawned in his.
