fortuneprince | 17th Case - [written]/[action]

[Written - Filtered away from Roxas]

~~When someone close to you~~
~~How would you react if~~

[Everything she writes down is scratched out the moment she reads it over. She just... isn't sure how to approach the question]

Let's say someone close to you, someone you deeply trust, kisses you without any warning. You know they don't quite understand what the gesture truly means but you personally have been affected by it. What do you do in such a situation?

Do you tell them how you felt about it?

...What if you aren't sure about how you felt? You're confused...

This is all hypothetically speaking..

[Action]

[All day, Naoto is going to be acting rather... off. As a matter of fact she's been acting weird for a while now and the only ones who might be able to notice are Roxas, Rise and Ven.

Ever since that day, Naoto's been avoiding Roxas, and even Ven. Whenever she sees either of them, she turns and walks the other way, whenever either of them try to catch her attention, she ignores them and tries to hide somewhere. It isn't that she's mad (even though it seems like she is) it's just that she's confused...

So as long as Roxas and Ven aren't around, Naoto will be outside, just wandering around the village with a coat and scarf on or in the library reading some books. She needs to think... ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Unfortunately for you, Naoto...actually, no, not unfortunately. You should have known Roxas would be coming into the library at some point in the day. He's noticed that the girl's been acting super-weird, but he hasn't quite figured out the reason. So, naturally, when he sees his friend sitting there he'll approach her.]

Hey.

[She should have known better but unfortunately... Naoto has been kinda been distracted so she hasn't been thinking right. The moment she hears his voice, she jumps a little, grips the book in her hand and glances back. Her cheeks begin to burn up and she looks away]

R-Roxas-kun...

Where've you been anyway? I've been looking for you on and off the last few days.

I've been here and at my building. You should know where I go by now.

[Y e p. Not going to say any more than that before she turns her entire body and starts walking to a different shelf]

Annnd you're walking away in the middle of the conversation...why?

[BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE HER FACE]

I-I apologize. I just... remembered there was a book over here I have been searching for. [Wow hello liar. She hates lying to him]

[The problem is that Roxas like books, soooo....following!] What book?

[Think Naoto think what book has she been wanting to read lately... ]

Sherlock Holmes.

...I thought you said you've already read Holmes.

I have. I read them multiple times. [Which is true]

So why do you want to read it right now?

I've been wanting to read it again for quite some time now.

...okay look, can we talk? Because you're acting weird, and I don't know why but I want to help.

[Biting her lip, she actually hesitates. In a way she wants to just say no because he can't help her--at least not right now. She's far too confused about this whole thing herself, there's no way she could explain it to Roxas.

Besides, he wouldn't understand it. He'd wind up being just as confused as she is.

To help stall a little bit, she looks at the books beside her and scans the titles until she comes across one and pulls it out. After looking at it for a minute, she speaks quietly] I'm not entirely sure if you can help, Roxas-kun.

But...I'm good at helping. You know that. [He wasn't liking the way this was going. It was really bothering him that Naoto was being this aloof.]

You're right, I do know that. But this is something that you will find difficult to grasp. [A sour chuckle] I don't even understand it myself.

...how do you know I won't understand it?

You have told me once before that you never would understand it.

...so really what you're saying is just that you don't trust me enough to try and figure it out.

That isn't it! [She quickly turns around to face him and gives him this look that almost looks like she's trying to glare at him but at the same time... it looks more like she's about to cry. If it weren't for the fact that she's actually trying to hold it back, she would cry.]

...[He's just going to stare at her, trying to figure out how to interpret all of this.] ...what's. Going. On.

[Naoto tries to keep her eyes locked on Roxas' but ends up looking away]

I don't... [--know. Really, that's the truth. She has no idea what's going on in her head and why she's like this]

I'm just so confused...

...you'd tell me if this was something I could fix, right?

[But it is something you can fix... kinda--sorta--in a way]

Of course. I'd tell you even if you couldn't.

So...what's stopping you? [Nope, still not quite understanding.]
