[ W h y do awful things like this always happen to her?!

Stop, Chiyo, think. Imagine Nozaki-kun, appearing and rescuing you! Maybe he's in armor? No-- that's too weird, just imagine him in his school uniform. Scooping her up like he did the first day they met---

When the video feed starts, she's still thinking about it, so you'll have to excuse her flushed face, Genessia.]

H-hello! This is Chiyo Sakura, I think I understand what's going on, I just wanted to introduce myself properly! I hope we can all get along!

Does anyone have any recommendations of where I should start?

Oh, oh--Chiyo-chan! Chiyo-chan is here!

[Kashima is so excited for the familiar face that she's inadvertently turned the feed on before she's gotten the phone actually properly set in her hand. The camera is upside down first, then sideways, and finally upright as she gets herself ready to greet her friend. Does she realize she pressed reply already? Nope!

Kashima is waving enthusiastically just the same, a hospital name-tag shaking as she does so, the sleeves of her lab coat fluttering as she nearly bounces with excitement ~~shouldn't you be working, Kashima?~~]

Chiyo-chan! When did you get back? I've missed you!

[ Kashima! Luckily, Chiyo's used to her, and she beams and waves at the camera. ]

Kashima! You're here! I just showed up.

Hello, Chiyo-san! My name is Wendy Marvell. It's nice to meet you!

[She tries to think of what to recommend, but isn't sure where to start.]

Um... Is there anything in particular you're looking for?

[Hey. She's consistent. That has to count for something, right?]

Of course I'm here--where would I have gone? The more important question is where you went!

And we've got a nice house now, too--now it's not just us sharing a teeny tiny room again. Not that I minded, of course! Between you and I, we got the better deal. Mikoshiba, Mayu-kun, Nozaki-kun and Hori-chan-senpai all were sharing a pretty small room too...Now we don't have to be careful how we come home, since there's no landlord to say he's going to call the fire marshal. There's plenty of room now!

[Breathe, breathe.] Are you still in the Bay?

Nozaki-kun's here?!

[ Sorry Kashima, priorities are priorities. ]

Uh, Kashima? I don't know what you mean where I went. I've never been here before.

I am at the Bay, though!

[He doesn't immediately respond because he's frozen, happy but shocked. Sakura's here--he's been so worried about Nozaki, and he's really missed her.

He tries not to sound too hoarse and like he might break down when he talks to her.]

You're not usually this late, Sakura. Nozaki will be happy to see you. He's been so annoying lately.

I'm late? I didn't even know this place existed!

[ ugh, but PRIORITIES, he said something about Nozaki-kun! ]

N-Nozaki-kun will be happy to see me?!

It's nice to meet you too, Marvell-san!

I guess I just didn't know where to start. It was a lot of information-- but I have friends here! So I think I will be alright!

Sa...

[ Nozaki stared at the screen for a few moments. his mouth was open though no words came out.

except for a very strange and strained "a" sound. his eyes were wide and he might've even been shaking though it was probably hard to even tell. there were a lot of emotions that were going through his head. the last time that she had been here, he didn't exactly respond the way that she might've wanted him too.

with the separation and no support from his assistant, he practically screamed in the next moment as he ran around to grab his things. he pulled his coat on, keeping his shirt still unbuttoned and bolted to and out the door ]

--SAKURA, DID YOU JUST ARRIVE?! IF YOU DID, I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE SO STAY PUT. DON'T MOVE AND DON'T LEAVE WITH ANYONE.

[ honestly, he had heard about that kid in the Schnee company being murdered. what if that guy was still around? he REALLY didn't want to think about it ]

How-- How much do you remember?!

[He smirks, trying to look like the in control senpai he knows he is.]

He started acting weird when we all found out you left. He hasn't even been as passionate about drawing his manga. You must have upset him...

[Upset Nozaki. Upset him. He can't take it anymore, he starts to tremble as his voice cracks.]

How could you leave us, Sakura?!?!

[ It's Nozaki-kun! Her heart leaps with adoration and joy just from seeing his face. She had heard he was here already, but to see him, to have it confirmed, it was just so great! Stay cool Sakura, stay cool-- DONT LOOK AT HIS UNBUTTONED SHIRT SAKURA!!!! ]

I DID! I'M STAYING PUT, DON'T WORRY!!!!

[ And she is- fists balled tight, breath almost held, staying COMPLETELY STILL FOR NOZAKI-KUN. ]

[ Nozaki is running at full speed now which means that his video is pretty blurry from his arms moving beside him. but he's not turning this video off at any point.

until, of course, when he finally arrives there. he stops halfway away from her, standing there to catch his breath. he's staring, his eyes still wide as if he's afraid that this is all a dream. what if this is some kind of cruel joke?! ]

Sakura... [ and he just crumbled. he started crying, though it wasn't as horribly embarrassing as what Mikoshiba's sobbing is. he came over to her, dropping to his knees to put his arms around her waist in a hug ] You're here - you're real and you're here. I can't...I can't believe this!

[ How much does she remember? She has to stop and think, to remember-- ]

We went to the festival, and Nozaki-kun and I watched fireworks together! [ Now that is something she could never forget. Why, she'd fawn over the thought now, if it weren't for what Mikorin was saying. A Nozaki-kun with no passion for manga? She hurt Nozaki-kun?

How could she?! Even if she couldn't remember, she had done something awful!]

N-no! I didn't mean to! Stop crying!

[ She's stayed put, just as promised- a little over the top, with how still she's standing. She only freezes up more when she sees him. There's Nozaki-kun, the boy she's loved since the day she very first saw him, staring at her as if he's seen a mirage.

And then he's crying. She panics, not knowing what to do, she's never seen him cry like this before. When he embraces her, her face heats up like a tomato, and she throws her arms around his neck. She doesn't know why, but his tears are enough to make her start to cry too. ]

I'm sorry I'm late!

[He remembers that festival. So much has happened since then. He supposes that actually makes him her senpai...but he's too busy sobbing grossly.]

I'm not crying, stupid!!! Don't tell me what to do when y-you left me with Nozaki!!!

Why are you crying now?! Don't cry - don't even apologize! [ there's a few moments where they're both crying until he looks up at her. he's wiping his eyes on his sleeve though there's a hint of a small smile there. he gives what seems like a sigh of relief once they've both calmed down ]

Now we don't have to worry if you went into another dimension or if you were lost somewhere. You're here now and-- [ oh no, no no ] I'll have to tell you about everything that's happened since you've been gone. [ he looks worried about it because oh my god does he have so much to tell her...

but now is not the time! he's sweaty from running and his face is all ew from crying but he's going to pick her up and put her over his shoulder ] Let me carry you to our house! You have your own room this time and you can decorate it however you want. [ is this seriously a dream come true or what, Chiyo?!?!?! ]

Chiyo-san!Brother missed you.

[ He's glad to see her, but elaboration takes effort.]

[ Don't cry. That only makes her cry more, with him, and she still doesn't know why. Eventually though, she stops, scrambling to wipe her own tears away and keep herself looking presentable in front of him.

This is all too much, though. It's obvious now, that something isn't right, that her friends remember her being here, and that she doesn't at all. She has to explain to him, make him understand-- and then that thought's lost again, when she realizes she'll be living with Nozaki-kun. In Nozaki-kun's house! They would have breakfast together! Oh no, what if she saw him leaving the bath--

And then he hoists her over his shoulder. She's about to lose it now, face matching the color of her ribbons. ]

Wait! Nozaki-kun, I have to tell you something! [ ANOTHER CONFESSION??? .... Well, it's not a love confession, so it's easier for her to spit out. ] I don't remember being here. The last thing I remember was watching the fireworks with you!

Edited 2015-06-29 03:44 (UTC)

Brother?

[ Weeps, sorry Mayu, this version of Chiyo hasn't met you yet. ... She'll surely lose her shit when she realizes who you are though, don't worry. ]

Oh, that's good to hear!

...By the way, are you feeling all right? Your face was red earlier—it's not a fever, is it?

That's... [ impossible? incredible? unimaginable? ] Okay!

[ so it was like they could start over. even if nothing had really happened before to make him regret anything ] I didn't get to say goodbye to you last time...

But if you don't remember, then I'll have to tell you everything. Everything that's happened here, everyone's jobs, about the house, when Mikoshiba and I became villains from some stars in the water, and that Mikoshiba and my brother are dating and they are in my new manga. Mikoshiba is still in denial about it but Mayu doesn't seem to mind. But I can tell you all of this later.

You should get some rest when we get to the house. I will cook you something and make some tea. Everyone else will be home soon to eat too.

[ There's a moment if shock. He's heard about people coming from different timelines, but he wasn't expecting Chiyo to be so far behind. There's also the strong family resemblance.]

I'm Mayu Nozaki. You like my older brother, Umetarou.

[ Because her feelings are blatantly obvious, even to him. And maybe his brother will pick up on the hint.]

[ Oh noooo, why can even Mayu tell, when Nozaki-kun-senior can't? ]

M-mayu-kun! It's great to finally meet you!
