(A/N): an even shorter fic comes thy way, peasants.
this time the prompt iiisss:
"Shark trying to ignore Subaru."
It really grated on Shark's nerves how similar the two boys were.
Granted, it wasn't obvious at first glance. Yuuma was loud, obnoxious, not that smart, outgoing, and overall everything one would expect the local class idiot to be. Subaru was quiet, obliging, smart, and tended to keep to himself whenever possible. If anything he was more like Astral if the local school delinquent had to make any sort of opinion. (That War-Rock alien, however, was definitely much more like Yuuma. Everyone had to admit to that.)
Even so, the two boys were both incredibly naïve and giving, both far too selfless for their own good, and too intent on meddling in the affairs of others. Of course, if Shark mentioned that he thought Subaru was meddling out loud, he'd probably be laughed at out loud. But the younger boy did seem to have his way of prying into other people's hearts and minds, and it grated on him.
While Yuuma preferred an in-your-face sort of method, constantly pursuing the target and facing them head on to get them to see his words, Subaru had a more indirect way of going about things. He'd regard people from a distance, give them curious, sometimes even sympathizing looks that seemed to bare hidden pains in his soul and try to beckon the other person to do the same. If he was given a chance to speak, he would do so. He always seemed to catch on if someone was hiding some sort of pain, and while he never was overt about it, somehow, the other person would know that he knew and was worried.
To be frank, he wasn't sure whether Yuuma's obvious ways or Subaru's subtle ones angered him more, but he did know that whatever it was…it didn't really make him that angry. Not much.
After all, he had somehow become part of Yuuma's little ragtag group of friends. What was one more?
(A/N): are these getting shorter? I think they're getting shorter. Ahahaha.
