YUYA SAKAKI UN: FUNDIRECTION

STATUS: Student Grade 9

ACCOLADES: (Here is a list of leading roles Yuya's has in school theater performances over the past two years, plus a glowing review of his familiar Odd-Eyes)

BIO: Hello! You can call me Yuya. I'm from Sendai, Japan. This is my second year in Daybreak Academy. I'm a Tamer, and Odd-Eyes is my familiar. He's the big red dragon that hangs out in the courtyards. He's friendly but he tries to steal food sometimes. I speak Japanese and English but not very good French. I'm also in the theater club. I'm in Lumiere 203. Let's be friends!

Okay! [He plays a game for about two minutes before the ambient noise and the darkness gets the better of him. So he sets his phone on maximum flashlight and buries his face in the pillow and waits for Kano to get back.

He didn't have it to full charge, but it'll definitely be more than an hour before it'll actually drain.]

[ Kano sits in the bathroom for the better part of an hour, unless Yuya comes get him sooner. He has enough patience for this. ]

[Kano gets away with most of it, only because Yuya isn't watching the time. Finally he realizes Kano's not back, checks his phone, and then creeps out of the blanket fort to the bathroom door. The flashlight is still on.

He knocked softly before leaning his ear to the door.] Kano...? Are you okay?

[ He jolts when Yuya knocks on the door, but thankfully nobody is around to see. Hopefully the girls on the other side don't need to use the bathroom tonight. ]

-—Uh, yeah! Just got an eyelash in my eye, it's taking a while to get out!! Gotta be careful not to rub it out, you know????

[ He goes back to sitting on the sink counter and zoning off. ]

Oh. All right. [He waits two minutes before he creeps to the light switch and flips then on. There, he feels less nervous out of the darkness.

He assumes Kano's going to be a while, so he grabs his sweats to change into them in the meantime.]

[ He sits around for a while, until he gets bored, which doesn't take very much longer. So, quietly, he opens the bathroom door and out steps

that dead kid from the movie, with the sack over his head that I would google to describe better but I'm a weenie and am too scared to. That kid. Because Kano thinks he's hilarious. ]

[The peace is over immediately and Yuya shrieks, topples backwards into the blanket fort as he throws his phone at Kano.]

[ WHY WOULD YOU THROW A PHONE AT A LITTLE—-

Kano gets decked in the face and stumbles backwards, illusion dropping as he clutches his mouth, blood dripping down past his fingers and spilling onto the ground. ]

[That's not a little kid!!

Yuya drags himself into the fort completely before he scrambles up to poke his head out--] Kano!

[... Of course it was Kano. And he's bleeding, Yuya didn't think his throw was that good.

Ugh, Yuya crawls out of the fort and back to his feet and approaches Kano.] Is it your nose? Here, tilt your head back.

[ Slowly, Kano removes his hands, tilting his head back to show blood streaming from both nostrils, opening his mouth to say something but blood starts to pour out of his mouth too, teeth falling out from bright red gums and spilling out onto the ground. ]

[Yuya stumbles to a horrified stop, breath hitching in immediate panic before he rushes all the way over and braces his hands on Kano's shoulders.

... But realistically there is zero chance Yuya could actually knock Kano's teeth out with his phone. But it's still really gross to see.]

Let me see where the actual blood is! [He reaches to put his hands to Kano's cheeks and tilt his head back, which actually makes it less visible since he's taller than Yuya but also he's really trying to keep what might really be a bloody nose from getting worse.]

[ The illusion is obvious, but he still got that initial reaction out of Yuuya, so that's really all he was going for, laughing as the blood fades away and disappears— all of the blood, both nose and mouth, teeth all back together. There's absolutely no way the phone didn't hit him, but Kano's not letting on where that might be. Pain has no effect on his illusions anymore, which makes it both useful and more dangerous. ]

I'm kidding, I'm kidding~ I'm alright, Yuya!!

[... Yuya lunges to try and pull Kano into a headlock. Not enough to actually choke him, he's just trying to get him in position for noogies.]

I was going to apologize for throwing my phone, but I guess you got your amends. Don't do it again!

[ Yuya is going to get blood all over his arms but he doesn't need to know that yet. ]

I won't, I won't!! Promise!!!!

[He doesn't really think he threw it hard enough to cause damage.

He only torments Kano for a minute, before he releases him and grabs his wrist instead to pull him back to the blanket fort. Lights left on and phone forgotten on the ground, he's not really interested in starting the movie back up anyway.]

[ Kano is weak and his nose is bleeding a little but it'll stop soon.

But alright, alright, he lets himself get dragged back into the blanket fort. So long as he's near Yuya, though, he can use his illusion to hide the little drips of blood on both their shirts; Yuya can discover it himself when he leaves the next morning. ]

[This is unsanitary.

Yuya flops back into the fort, grabbing one of the pillows and the popcorn before offering it to Kano. The silence sits between them for a bit while Yuya's heart calms down, and he half-buries his face against the pillow.]

... Hey, Kano. [He starts, finally.] Why'd you ask about what I like about you?

[ It's only unsanitary for Yuya; Kano is used to his own blood being smeared all over himself.

Kano settles back into the blanket and stares up at the bottom of the bunk bed, in the not-quite darkness thanks to the room lights being on outside. ]

Hmmm... Huh... 'cause it's the only time I'll ever hear something like that?

[Yuya shifts, looking up at Kano from over the edge of the pillow.]

But normally, you always turn the conversation away from yourself. Even after I said it, you didn't want to talk about yourself anymore at all. So what was different then?

[For always trying to keep the focus on the other person, it's just a little surprising after the fact that he really wanted to hear it. So if he does...] Or why do you always avoid talking about it any other time?

[ He hums again, tuneless, stalling. ]

It's different, isn't it? Me talking about myself, versus you talking about what you think of me?

[ Yuya talks about the surface him, the "Kano" that Kano projects and portrays. The person Yuya like is completely made up. So talking about that person doesn't matter.

Kano talking about himself... it's just a pain, because he's got to make things up on the spot, trying to make up a person who doesn't exist. ]

Yeah. [Yuya shifts, sitting up and pushing the pillow aside.] You never want me to talk about you, either. You always shy away from it. But if that's something you want to hear, I don't need a game as an excuse to say how I feel.

[He tilts his head.] It just surprised me that you wanted to hear it, that's all.

Haha, yeah, and we're never talking about that ever again!!!! [ he picks up the pillow and tosses it at Yuya's face ] Once was enough!!!!

[ IT WAS EMBARRASSING ]

[Yuya is smacked in the face, but he grabs it with a laugh. There's still a bit of curiosity in his gaze as he looks at Kano, though, even with a smile.]

Was it really surprising that I meant all of it? I've said before, I care about you a lot.

[it was embarrassing but also: Kano asked for it, Kano walked right into it and surely he knew what he was getting into.]

[ Kano takes hold of the pillow and attempts to smother Yuya with it? ]

Hey, hey, what did I just say!!?!?!

[ He's too weak to be a real threat, even though he's trying his hardest. ]

I heard what you said! [He grabs Kano's arms and pushes them down so he can't smother Yuya, learning forward.] If it's that bad, why'd you ask? Did you think you were going to hear that I didn't like you that much after all? What did you want to hear?
