no need to get your hands dirty, rean. nice people like you shouldn't have to and it's clear you have a lot of people in your corner trying to prevent that.
but if you do have a problem and someone needs a lesson? you've got my number.
[A few days after his return to Kaisou, Hunter is sending a message.
It was Elliot who suggested this, though he's taken it more as an order. Thankfully, he knows how to apologize. He's done it many times before, and to people far more terrifying than some guy who tried to help him.
His voice is level in his message, almost practiced, though he definitely didn't practice reciting this specific apology.]
I wanted to apologize for my behaviour a few days ago. My outburst was childish and unwarranted. I'm sorry, it won't happen again.
[Rean's genuinely not expecting a message from Hunter, and he's expecting an apology even less. He's too stunned for a bit to answer right away, but when he does, he's... well, he knows he can naturally be a bit on the loud side so he's trying to keep himself a little restrained, at least, but aside from that his reaction is a lot less practiced.
Rean is just Like This, all the time.]
Hey... it's okay, you know? I don't blame you for what happened, you were really upset and I clearly crossed a boundary with you that I shouldn't have.
If anything, I should be the one apologizing to you.
[None of this was Zelos idea. It was very much Adol and Ana, but they insisted. And since Zelos is very much in the dog house over here ... here he is.
...Least this one is a pretty low chance of stabbing him. That's something. ]
Hey Rean. You got a sec? Got to say something, shouldn't take long.
[Jun wasn't good at words. He had no idea what to say to the people who were reviving. Each time he tried to send a message to Rean or one of the others, he gets tongue tied or he deletes it before sending. Expressing emotions was...difficult.
So finally he settles on a different option. Rean will find a package on the bed of his dorm. Inside there'll be a collection of Magical Alisa doujin (as well as some other animes he knows Rean likes) and some cookies that were carefully decorated to have cute anime mascots on them. There's also a first aid kit -- mostly tailored for stab wounds (just in case!). Finally there's a card that say "welcome back!", and there's a doodle of mona the mascot as well.
....There is no name left anywhere on this package]
Well, there might not be a name anywhere on this package, but given that it 1) just randomly appeared on his bed and none of his locks are broken and 2) is tailored to a very specific interest, Rean has a good inkling of who might have sent it.
...Well, there wasn't a name left on it, so it's reasonable to assume that the mystery gifter didn't want the attention. Rean will just keep his guesses to himself, for now.
But he'll definitely be looking for a way to do something nice for Jun later.]
I am sorry about everything, for what it's worth. I just... panicked, and didn't see another option, I guess. Figured it was me or someone else, and didn't stop to think about who all would be hurt if I decided to make it me.
You're right: everyone else has made it very clear who all I hurt, so I think it's safe to say I've learned my lesson, here.
[He has not. But he is at least remorseful for right now.]
[It was a long day with a lot of unexpected twists, most of them Elliot's doing. He hadn't expected to ever be handling a cello of that high quality and expense, and you better believe he treated it like royalty with all the cleaning and care he took into every step of the process
In fact it's pretty late in the evening, about an hour after they got back from picking up the cello from Jusis, that Elliot comes up from the basement where he has stored the cello and flops on the couch]
Whew! I'm beat. [He'll put his feet up on the footrest] Mind if we order out tonight?
[Rean has already flopped himself on the couch by the time Elliot comes to join him. He's basically been running around since classes got out, making sure every inch of space that cello might at any point occupy was positively sparklingly clean. Never mind the whole act of loading the cello into the car and getting it back home...]
Pizza has never sounded more appetizing. [Rean picks up his phone and starts scrolling to the delivery app.] Unless you have something else in mind?
[After August was a no, he decides to go down his friends list to the next closest person that's not Ryouta]
Sorry this is last minute, but can I stay at your place until Saturday? My roommates hooked up and one of them told me that I should probably stay out of the apartment until Saturday.
[Fugo hasn't done much in the way of contacting Rean previously, but after what Jusis found out, maybe it's not so surprising that he's sent a message now.]
Um, Rean? I've already cleared it with Jusis, and I've asked Elliot, too, but is it okay if I stay with you guys for the time being?
[He wants to be there with Ash, and... maybe there's a part of him that feels like he ought to stay out of the way, all things considered.]
