[ oh, what a surprise, they aren't wandering around shintaro's home this time. instead, it's somewhere the park. kuroha's seated in one of the swing sets himself, fiddling around with the cap on his gun. it's a rather dark day out, almost bordering on raining. the clouds are dark as his way of dressing as he tucks it back into its usual place.

it's almost time, isn't it?

he doesn't even notice the rain drizzling as he pushes himself off the equipment. ]

im Excited

[sodacan]

[ He doesn't know why he's there, to be honest. An invisible force-- or not-so-invisible, if you count Mr. I Killed All Your Friends sitting on the swing set over there-- brought him out to the local park. He's currently sitting at the bottom of a nearby slide.

He's a bit wary of the device in Kuroha's hands, at least, until he stows it away. His eyes are on the ground between his feet until his gaze flickers upwards at the sudden movement, eyes quietly following Kuroha. ]

this will go so well

[loveandego]

[ the rain is negligible, because the target he's been looking for is right in front of him. kuroha's lips spread out into a thin line. the android approaches, boots crunching in the soft sand until he's standing in front of shintaro. surely, shintaro knew kuroha would be walking over? after all, you don't make eye contact and not expect to be called upon. ]

Shintaro-kun.

[sodacan]

[ He can't hold his gaze for very long; it's almost... intimidating, really. Even if he knows he probably shouldn't be so afraid-- scratch that, he is anyway, because the entity standing before him has the capability to remove everything that he cares about away from him, and more.

He huffs, eyes narrowed. ]

"Something you need, Kuroha?" [ The feeling of the other's name rolling off of his tongue disgusts him. And he expresses so by the way he says it, with a hint of repulsion. ]

[loveandego]

No, not really.

[ in response, kuroha swings around over him to climb on the side, using the actual sliding part to rest his feet. it's raining and the sandy is going to get all smooshy and start getting in his boots and that's an uncomfortable feeling, even if he isn't human.

he gives shinaro, sitting at the base of the slide, a thump thump of his boots, almost using him as a footrest. ]

[sodacan]

[ He's now feeling the tiny droplets of rain falling from the sky, and it's bothering him a little bit, so he gets up from the slide with the intention of heading home. He's not going to stay here if the weather refuses to cooperate, especially since he has no real reason to remain. ]

"I'm going home. Don't follow me."

[loveandego]

Sure.

[ Kuroha answers with a shrug, letting himself hit the ground as Shintaro moves. Yellow eyes tilt towards the neet, blinking slightly and following the other's heels. But then again, Kuroha didn't make promises, so he's getting off the slide too, trailing after Shintaro rather amiably, only a short distance away.

At least he hasn't gone trigger happy, right? ]

[sodacan]

[ Well, that's the thing-- Shintaro's just now finding it a little strange that Kuroha hasn't reacted in the way he usually has, especially since he has full access to his own personal gun and his (bipolar?) personality to boot.

He's also uncomfortable because of the fact that Kuroha let his words enter one ear and exit the other and is now following him. All he does is keep his gaze forward and his hands in his jacket pockets. ]

[loveandego]

[ he's certainly enjoying this, and imagines that the prick of goosebumps on shintaro's neck must be starting up now, right? the cold barrel of the gun still dangles in his pockets, and it didn't seem like shintaro would forget about that any time soon, especially when his life might be at risk.

in a quiet voice, he asks: ]

Shintaro-kun, tell me, are you planning to visit your little brigade anytime soon?

[sodacan]

[ He tenses as he processes the question, his mind immediately jumping to conclusions if he were to say yes. There was no way he could outright admit it; he didn't want Kuroha tailing him and possibly recreating the bloody scene. It wouldn't particularly be Shintaro's fault, but he'd blame it on himself anyway. He couldn't have that. ]

"... Why do you want to know? Regardless, I'm sure they wouldn't be very happy to see your face again after what happened."

[ Which basically gave Kuroha the answer he was looking for. They were now a constant in his life, and it was a given that he was going to encounter them at some point or another, sooner or later-- especially since his sister was a consistent presence in the group. ]
