♞ 004 | Shinjiro's actually happy | Video

[onlymortal]

[The Video cuts on to show Shinjiro actually smiling. He's sitting back on his bed and there's an excited bark from off screen, then a fluffy dog bounds up on to the bed next to him. He laughs and starts scratching behind his ears.]

I guess this thing ain't so bad. [An excited yip.] He can't stay. I know, but that don't mean we can't have fun, right?

(OOC: His friends made him happy, eway. God help him.)

[Shinjiro laughing. And Koromaru. Okay, just what did Akihiko-senpai and Mitsuru-senpai do? Minato could probably guess. It was nice to see him smile, though Minato wasn't sure how Shinjiro would react after the event was over.]

... Senpai, you look well. Koromaru too.

[Koromaru barks and his tale wags fervently. MINATO! Shinjiro smiles at the feed.] He's happy to see you, too, Arisato.

[video]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

I've missed him too. I'm glad that he's here.

[Koromaru was always so loyal and knew how to make Shinjiro happy even without an event. It had been a while since he last saw Koro-chan as well. The power of imagination was amazing.]

You're spending the day with him?

[video]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah! We were thinkin' of goin' to the garden. You wanna come?

[video]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

Sure, Senpai. If you don't mind.

[Aw, it's like walking Koromaru on free nights at the Dorm.]

Are the others coming too?

[video]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Mitsuru is. Don't know about Aki, seein' as he's a fish.

[video]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

Mn, he turned himself into a troll like Feferi-san. [Which was surprising in a way.] It'll make him not like the sun so much.

But I'll go. This event is better than the last few.

[video]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I ain't got any complaints about this one. [He looks thoughtful for a second.] Maybe I'll swing by the kitchen first. Make a day of it.

[video]

[Minato smiled a little more, first at the idea of Shinjiro spending time in the kitchen, something he liked to do already, and second because Shinjiro's cheerfulness was infectious.]

Did you need any help with anything?

[video]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

I think I got it. Just don't be late. Got it?

[video]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

All right, Senpai. I won't be. I'll see you both soon.

[Shinjiro might or might not be able to tell from Minato's expression, but he was really excited and looking forward to it.]

[video]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you too. I think it's gonna be a good day.

[Trust me, Arisato, he's going to hate his friends later.]

[video]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

[Minato knew there would be consequences to this; had it been too late to tell him or change him back? Could he fight against two of his senpais' imaginations? What would they say if he had attempted to change him back at all since they had their reasons for doing this in the first place?

He was really torn over this, though maybe the event affecting him made him just a little bit more rebellious, hence why he had sort of let it slide.]

I think so. Any day is better with Koromaru around too.

[He nods. He missed the dog more than he's ever going to admit.]

Hey, Arisato, Yuu said there are dogs at the vendors. Who sort of stuff do they want?

[video]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

[Minato thought about it for a moment. He wasn't sure if the price of a living being instead of something inanimate would differ.]

Something that catches their interest. Sometimes things from home. Or something from the closet that's unique.

[video]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Somethin' from the closet? [Damn. He has shitty luck getting normal stuff from it.]

[video]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

Yes. Try what you can. They may like what you bring them. You never know.

[video]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'll try. [At least until the 'happy' runs out.]

[video]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

[Minato smiled a little again.]

I think you'll be all right. Ask if you need help.

[video]

[castoredux.livejournal.com]

I will. [No, he won't.]

[video]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

[It's why he said it at all! He could guess that he wasn't going to, but Minato didn't mind.]

Okay. I'll see you soon then.
