Hello, everyone! I have an important announcement to make.
This is going to be my last post on this blog, at least for the near future.
You see, I've been accepted into Danganronpa V3 as one of the participants! Of course, I'm sure I don't need to tell you all how much this means to me.
This has been a life goal of mine.
Too robotic. Delete.
Just like most of you, I'm sure, I've always wanted to be a part of Danganronpa myself. And I'm finally getting that chance! So I'm not sure if when I'll get back to this blog. I just wanted to thank all of you for your support your interest indulging me reading and following along with this blog over the years, and let you know what was happening.
Take care, everyone!
I'll keep you in my thoughts.
Platitudes.
You're the ones who made this blog
Mm. More platitudes.
I deeply appreciate the time we've spent together. Thank you for reading.
...Platitudes, but not wrong. I hover over the post button for a few seconds too long before finally committing.
It's too late to take it back now.
As for the shitpost blog… well I may as well just announce it with a meme. It's not like I really have to stop posting there just yet, I have time. Not a lot of time, but enough.
I look over to Kaito, asleep next to me. He looks very nice when he's asleep. Well, he always looks nice, but there's a peace to his face that it doesn't usually have. It makes me smile.
...I shouldn't…
Before I can stop myself, a hand is already running through his hair. It's a little coarse - I suspect too much hair gel and not enough conditioner is to blame - but I don't mind. Thankfully, he doesn't stir. I would have felt rather guilty if I'd woken him up because of my strange whims. I carefully retract my hand before getting up, softly, quietly. It's incredible how quickly I've gotten used to Kaito sleeping nearby, actually - I've never really needed to be quiet walking around the house before now, since it's big enough that I can mostly do whatever I want without disturbing my parents.
But I don't mind. I… really, really don't. And I don't mind waking up early and making breakfast. It's… relaxing, in a way it's never been before. Soothing, I guess, to make food for someone else. I put some butter in the skillet and put the heat on before cracking open a soda to wake up with. I think omelettes this morning. Enough ham that Kaito won't complain if I put a few vegetables in there.
He wakes up while I'm in the middle of finishing off the first one, and I put it on the table for him while I get to work on mine.
"Oh, hey, thanks, Shuichi," he says as he sits down with it. He never fails to say thank you when I give him food, and it makes smiling back so much easier.
"You're welcome, Kaito," I say, before turning my attention back to the skillet.
I think… a few months back, I would have been very confused as to why I'm still doing things like making breakfast, even though the days are counting down until I leave to participate in Danganronpa.
The answer's simple, though.
Right now, these are the only things I want to do. Spending little moments like this with my friend, and doing things with him.
Time spent alone means so little to me now, compared to time spent with him.
