thank god the balance is fixed

Isn't that unfair?

( maybe it's the jingle of his skull chain, or maybe it's just his heavy steps that aren't heavy, but to be stopped before he can commit a crime has him slightly disappointed. that's the things with ais, they record, become adjusted to daily life, and then know everything about you, and komaeda finds that a little unfair, and so he tries to do something new every time. sometimes ranger pushes him away, other times, komaeda manages to brute force his way in and hope that the other doesn't send him away.

well, he's ready to fix that problem as he walks behind ranger, and he drops a certain something on the tablet he's playing on, wondering if this would be able to warn him when he's done bad. the cards do a job, but they never really express what ranger's thinking because he plays with them to throw everyone off, but the octopus only has two expression — happy and mad. )


How do you feel if I slipped in too, you'd be...?

( this is where he's waiting for him to keep the octopus on the happy side, because when he asks, he doesn't give the other any time as he grips the edge of the blanket, and he's going to make his attempt to go under as well. as long as he doesn't see it go the opposite side of the octopus, then that means he's done good. )

please i love it so much how ppl hard at communicating communicates

( successfully underneath the blanket, making sure not to bump into the cat underneath as he slips towards ranger's side, and his arms wrapping around his waist so komaeda can lay his cheek on their lap. coming from under leads to many surprises because he didn't expect to see that the octopus is still on the happier side — maybe ranger never messed with it, and he has no reason to be excited, yet, in a small way, he is, eyes sparkling with curiosity until he blinks it all away, and focuses on the conversation. )

Hm? No, you can use your cards, and you're still the same Ranger-kun I've met, but maybe it'll help others understand you better, too.

( call this the third way to figure out what the other feels, and what irritates him, besides it only has two emotions, and the other will have to really choose how he feels at the time. it puts a new wrench in their playing field, the other could use a face card for one expression, and then have the octopus another, but there's something endearing about if ranger does commit to using it. )

And don't say things like you'd rather they not, you're not allowed to be a pessimist with me. ( the only one who can be is the cat that's with them, and while ranger can also be a feline underneath the blanket, komaeda takes his spot as a third as his eyes look up to lock eyes with him for a moment, before squeezing tighter. )

The more you're able to bond with people, the better I can experience your hope!

which color are you going to get I WANT ALL OF THEMMMM especially the satan one

( ranger's affections are more than enough and then never enough, but that's because komaeda fills in the gaps willingly. it's easy when someone doesn't expect affection, and so he's able to place so much of his in the name of hope — the other way around tends to serve difficulties, and he's unable to function properly. because he wrapped his arms around ranger's waist first, the patting of his hand doesn't cause komaeda to flinch, rather, he pushes his head into the male's palm like a cat would do. )

...Huh? Isn't that unfair, you can look at everyone and basically gauge their actions. ( ranger has capabilities beyond a human despite was created to be human — they have faults, and ranger has a few, but corrupted data is just scientific way to say dementia if anything happens to him. luckily he has friends who are willing to tamper with what's wrong to make it right again, and komaeda's here as moral and hope support. as long as hope can be found, he's always there, which sounds cliche, but it's true that he can find hope anywhere as long as his senses allow him to. )

Hm. ( he looks at the octopus that's sitting on the tablet, does he really have to listen? he should be able to do whatever he wants — or so he thought, but by word of god, the white cat has moved to sit on komaeda's back, and now he's trapped in place. it's fine, that also means, he's trapped ranger in place as well, and so it's a domino effect of what he likes all in one. )

Are you going to make rules along with it...? All it'll tell me is how you feel about something, do you want sweets if you're angry?

then it'll be halloween at your house all the time... wait you're onto sumn...

( that's usually the go-to for moody girls, and while ranger isn't moody, he can't give much in the emotions department aside from negative feelings. luckily for him, negative feelings as just as positive to komaeda — as someone who lacked love from his parents, and believes the world hates him, that too can be a form of love. perhaps his time with ultimate hope before he became hinata hajime has steeled him even more — constantly being called boring, told that his life was nothing but a spec of dirt that fluttered in the wind — his heart skipped every time. that's why he's able to take the good and the bad of ranger's personality, and find something to be delighted over. )

Not even... ( ... ) ...data chips?

( he deserves to be hit for it, and he's expecting it, but he makes it his goal to hurry after, looking back to the octopus. the happy expression is enough to tell him that ranger's satisfied at the moment, and he doesn't have to bend his neck and look up at the card, and then apply his tone. this should make thing even more harder to understand between them, but he feels that it'll be a fun addition to their lives so far. )

While that's true... how am I to know, when using this, you aren't allowed to tell me, but have me reflect on my actions.

( and when komaeda thinks about what he does, he never does anything wrong, and does good for everything. so using the octopus against him might be a double edged sword. he hums softly, now allowing his cheek to sink into ranger's lap as he relishes in the warmth of his body. after, he closes his eyes in thought of just finding this octopus laying around in various areas, and flipped as one of the two emotions. )

what about christmas i think hes also ready for christmas...

( there goes that textbook answer, and komaeda sighs like he's been defeated, because he knew this wouldn't get far. it was worth a try, though, it's those types of reply that makes komaeda have to speak fluent in being straightforward — he doesn't like it so much because he's always talking in circles, wanting to make someone think, but what is there for ranger to ponder over when he knows it all? or thinks he does. )

Really!?

( like he's excited to be left alone to his own thoughts, and he even jolts his head up like he really needs to look at ranger to make sure he meant what he said. the feline jumps too, scared from the sudden movement, and with her tail it comes down onto komaeda head, the tips of it in his face, and he lifts one hand to try and push it away. he deserves that, which he's guessing means for him to shut up and stop moving. blowing his breath, he tries to force the feline to remove their tail too, but that doesn't seem to be working out in his favor either. )

Then you have to keep it with you all the time, if it isn't on your person... I'm allowed to do whatever I want to you.

( deal? deal. of course, it sounds suggestive when he says it, but his true intentions? hm. )
commences: (pic♯14928505)

NOOO it should be white and red and have little stars on it and christmas lights

[personal profile] commences 2021-11-14 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
( even with ranger's efforts, the tail carelessly falls back into place, tickling the bridge of komaeda's nose, and he's already squinting so none of the cat's hair gets into his eyes. that smile from before remains, not exactly bothered, but there's nothing that can be done when a feline chooses what they want to do — much like both of them. ranger who follows his own rules because that's the personality he has, and komaeda who does whatever he want because he's not confined to this body that he has &mdash he'd give it away, if he could. )

Hm? Well, I'll take your face cards so they aren't in the way when I kiss you.

( that's the first thing that comes to mind, especially when the other is so protective of the ones he's madde so far, especially the new ones. ) And when I pull you into my lap, you can't leave, not even if Chidouin-san's life was on the line. ( his hold onto ranger is tighter as he lifts these requests off, which means if komaeda asks for it, the other should down, and let whatever happens... happens. it's a push, but that's how hope is born for the latter, and as for the former, he doesn't feel selfish because it's a rule that the other has to abide by. )

It's hard when you can fight back, so we'll render your attempts futile! So listen to me, and don't try to stop whatever I'm up to, okay?

( should be a good reason to keep the octopus on him. )

NOOOOOOOO THATS SO CUTE not our christmas thread next, is the present murder?

[personal profile] commences 2021-11-14 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
( he lifts up, just so that he can get a better view of the other's face — huh? did something like that really get under his skin, and komaeda feels proud of himself. it's hard to pull emotions from ranger when he's still trying to understand his own feelings, but the fact that shameless statements are enough to make such a cute expression. )

...Hm, do away with it one day, and find out.

( though that means ranger would be interested in the concept of it, that he'd probably want to... see it in action, that's what komaeda thinks. )

Hey, Ranger-kun...? ( he lifts up properly, his attempt to place his hands on the other's shoulder despite the feline rolling down his back into a soft ball of the cover behind him, and since they're already on the floor...

...

...

komaeda attempts to push ranger onto his back since maybe he caught him off guard. )


Would you want me to kiss you?
commences: (pic♯14928626)

JUST TEACH HIM HOPE!!! komaeda will work hard just watch

[personal profile] commences 2021-11-14 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
...You don't have that knowledge yet, do you? Ranger-kun's a virgin...

( because he's at a lack of words, doesn't have anything to say that tells komaeda to back off. actually, he's breaking his own rules because he can't do what he want, but he can do whatever he wants when he has no sense of person space. this is a prize, he thinks, pinning ranger down to see his flustered face, but komaeda won't do anything to questionable, or breach his preferences — the other had been with safalin so long, maybe he's straight.

oh, that's always an idea, and he thinks on it since they were attached to the hip as the other made them sound. )


I won't take your first kiss!

( it's an appealing idea, but that's just to be cruel, and while komaeda's not evil — he's a studious, thoughtful, and self-righteous and that's why he acts without any discretion or regards for anyone's feelings. playfully, he lifts a finger to tap ranger's nose before lifting up off the other, sitting properly to bring the cat into his lap. )

What are you working on? ( he focuses on the pda now, but there's only so much he can see with the octopus in the way. )

I'm not joking, Ranger-kun... the moment that it's not with you, I'll play fairly and do as I said.

( there's no tricks, but because of his actions, he has missed out on keeping the other so close, and perhaps he shouldn't have teased so much. besides, with the plush still around, the things komaeda spoke served as a warning, a general statement that he needed his partner to understand. )

If you hated it... you can flip it to the angry side so I understand that it caused you displeasure. I'm not really considerate, you know.

( he frowns deeply, but this doesn't upset him, he's far too removed to care, and this humors him greatly. when the other can react, it is a sight to see, those red cheeks, that blank expression. ah, he thought that maybe he found a spot to make the other react more violently.

...

his frown shifts to a warm smile as he looks towards the other. )


I'll miss you.
commences: (pic♯14928759)

ok so kill them and use their organs on the christmas tree and then itll be a GOOD christmas

[personal profile] commences 2021-11-16 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
( oh, he flipped it, now that's a problem, so komaeda has to figure out what upset him, out of everything that he's done so far... maybe it was... ah, he gets it! )

Now now... aren't you? When isn't Ranger-kun hellbent on leaving when I do something?

( with his hands lifted up, his prosthetic whirrs softly with every movement, and then they settle back into the seat of his lap as he stares at the ice cream expression. now he sees that plus the octopus, so he has to figure out how to handle that accordingly. it's a shame though, hearing that the other is rejecting that little game of theirs, especially when no one would know about it, and it'd be just them. )

You're upset... hm, so now I have to do something to make you happy...

( he sighs sadly, how unfortunate, and when he thought he could breach the system of the other's code. ) When I make you happy, you have to turn it back to the other side, okay?

as long as ranger makes komaeda one of the bodies

I do, are you trying to break into it?

( curious because komaeda's tried so many times with the hacking gun, but it beeps, alerting the owner of what he's up to. for it being 1999, the fact that technology isn't easily breakable here does concern him some, but perhaps ranger has a better hand at it considering this being part of his craft? as someone who deals with technology, komaeda trusts him enough to figure it out. )

...

( he's quiet now, watching him as he's trying to agree to the terms of being "good" so he can make him happy, and he wonders if ranger knows what makes him "happy" at the moment. the card he's wearing could be considered as happiness, but he has to wait for the octopus to burn back over properly. his eyes go back and forth between him and then the octopus, like he's trying to control ranger's hands with his eyes to fix it. if not, he'll stare at the pda in a more obedient fashion, but this is just for brownie points and nothing more. he leans to press his shoulder against the ai's own, and he glances down...

what's on it... )

STOPPPP komaeda is the cute gift (bleeding)

( minesweeper? he's not even paying attention to the octopus like he should, so maybe that's why he plays well, and reaches out for the pda to see what game the other has. it's all about numbers and avoiding the mines laid all across the map, and if someone is lucky, they can get that really big patch of safe numbers that takes up most of the board. )

Are you interested in only games that uses the complexity of numbers?

( that would work in ranger's favor, after all, the being able to look at the screen, count away and hope to not click on an explosive. komaeda, however, clicks on the screen a few times to refresh the game because he wants something entirely random — they all are, but maybe he feels safer with this one than any of the others. it's like playing sudoku, or rattling one's brain when doing an extensive game of crossword. )

And what's the difficulty setting?

( he should have asked that first, because his finger is already hovering over a certain node that he wants to click. he won't change his mind, probably, but there is a chance that he jumped the gun without learning what sort of minesweeper the other created, because maybe rio ranger's version is unwinnable, or he's played by the rules, and made it simple for humans. in the end, komaeda would play the other's version if there was one. )

( his fingers press at the middle, and a "3" shows up as his starting point, and tbagsbthe warning signal be taken knowing that three away is a mine ready to explode. he thinks about moving three over, and up one, but he doesn't click yet as he thinks that ranger making minesweeper of all games fits perfect for him. he takes a few turns clicking I'm odd spots, missing every mine, until he has eight repeating numbers repeating in front of him. )

Do you want to go next? We could play together, you can click eight more, and then return it to me.

( that way they can go back and forth, give them both equally something to do so that they don't grow bored. because when komaeda's offering the pda back, much to his surprise, to see the octopus flipped back over perfectly makes his heart slip a beat, but he doesn't say anything at all. he remains silent, eyes strictly on the pda, and not concerned about what's in the corner of his vision. )

A-And... ( well, he lost a bit of his composure from that, but he clears his throat as he leans a little more on ranger. ) We can snuggle, too, it's cold.

( but he's never complained about that before. )

WHEN DID HE STEAL
