When a Martyr and A Broken Bird Love Each Other Very Much
Date of Scene: 30 September 2019
Location: Thors Military Academy - Backwoods
Synopsis: Rean and Mikoto move forward in their relationship.
Cast of Characters: Rean Schwarzer, 7002


Rean Schwarzer has posed:
This is the second time in the last few months or so Rean's pulled Mikoto aside to talk to her privately. This time, he asked to meet Mikoto in the area in front of the Old Schoolhouse. It's quiet, and generally other students don't go back there unless they have to. This in comparison to someplace more stereotypical like the school's rooftop or something, which probably would've been more romantic, but also more prone to people sticking their noses in.

And, well...he didn't need further embarrassment attached to what he was about to do.

Rean takes a deep breath, and looks Mikoto straight in the eyes, maybe a bit more intensely than needed.

"I thought about it, and the truth is...I like you too. I just assumed it wasn't mutual because you seem to have more fun teasing me than anything else. And I don't mind, even if's annoying sometimes. What happened in the Archives was a bit much, honestly. I can't imagine what I did for you to fall for me, and I'm flattered, really."

He then sighs. His gaze shifts away from her, as he looks towards the old building.

"...But I don't think I'm the right person for you."

Mikoto Shimizu (7002) has posed:
Mikoto came to the call from Rean, dressed in one of her many good outfits.  Hands held behind her back as she greeted the young man, and of course sharing the slight embarrassment of the obvious subject of discussion.  Of course, Rean's...very direct stare into her eyes cause her to blush slightly, thinking this was going to go somewhat differently.  Of course, it turned into an admission, ok that's good too.  Also, commenting about her trolling of him during the Archives thing.  She giggles a little at that, it was funny...but she recovered quickly.  There seemed to be a but waiting to happen.

Oh, there it is.

She pauses a little, is this because he's just a pushover or because of his crippling self-esteem issues?  She thought she had issues, but well, it takes all types she supposes.  Tilting her head slightly at him she holds up a finger.  

"You like me, I like you.  What makes you think you aren't the person for me?"

Rean Schwarzer has posed:
"That's...kind of the problem." Rean says. "If you honestly want me to not get involved in your business because you're afraid I'll get hurt, well...I think we both know I have a hard time /not/ doing that. It's /because/ I like you that I keep trying so hard to help you, and /actually dating/ will most likely make that worse."

Mikoto Shimizu (7002) has posed:
"Oh.  You misunderstand just a little on what I meant about that...well, the most recent one, not the one I gave you when we first met because hooo boy, that seems like forever ago now," Mikoto says, and leans back against something.  "The issue is that Sarra was doing it because she hated the man, and was using me as an excuse to get at him.  I don't want to be used as a REASON for you to do something if that's not the reason you're doing it.  It's dishonest and I won't stand for it."

"I don't think she even gets that now, but she kinda sees the problem.  We sort of had a sleepover while we were waiting for people to come get her.  Look, if you are going to do something /because/ you love me...then yeah, ok.  Then your reasoning is honest and all that and your being open about the true reason and stuff..."

"But if you went to punch Lezard in the face because you disliked him before that, and now you just wana use me as an excuse, well then we got issues."

There is a pause, "We should also make an agreement now.  Work is work, pleasure is pleasure.  No mixing.  If we're on opposite sides, then you can't take it easy on me, and I can't on you. We both can take it.  When we're not at work, then...we just don't talk about it, ok?  I don't see it happening a whole bunch, but better to set ground rules earlier than have it be a landmine later."

Rean Schwarzer has posed:
"...Oh." Rean says, rubbing the back of his head. Well, that cleared things up a little. She just wanted him to be honest about his intentions. Thinking about it, he probably /did/ just want to deck Lezard for well...being Lezard Valeth, smug sorcerer when he jumped in on Sarra's duel. "I'm fine with that. Jumping in on her duel request was kind of stupid of me, anyway."

The conversation then shifted to how they would handle the possibility of having to fight one another. After all, they were in different factions with different priorities. Still, Rean nods. She was right- if either of them held back against the other, it'd just cause trouble for everyone else.

There was /one/ last elephant in the room, speaking of them fighting each other.

"...I still can't control my power. You know, that thing I did on the 4th floor. So there might be a time where that happens again. And it might be /you/ I go after, or you're nearby and it darkens  your Soul Gem." Rean says, putting one hand on his chest. He sighs.
"...But if you're not going to run from your problems anymore, then it wouldn't be right if I kept running from mine. So if you're ok with that risk until I figure this out, then..."

Rean blushes. "I guess we can give this a shot?"

Mikoto Shimizu (7002) has posed:
"And I still need to better use my power so I don't drain myself stupidly.  I...learned that what I was doing was running away from my problems, finding the easy way out.  Lilian was right, which is a bitter pill to swallow.  That is why I joined the Concord, to master my own power and control my fate.  Once I can do that...then I can think about breaking this cycle.  Learning how to harness the powers coveted by that little furry bastard."

"And you have to control yours...aren't we a pair," She says, with a slight laugh.  "We can't get through life thinking of what has been, or what could be.  We have to just experience...the good and the bad.  So..."

She places a hand on his.  "I'm glad to hear you say that," She says with a blush.  "So where are you taking me on our first date~?"

Rean Schwarzer has posed:
"...First date?" Rean said quietly, his blush basically spreading to the rest of his face. This was actually happening. This was actually /happening./ And thus, Rean.exe has crashed. Again.

Rean shakes his head, trying to get all sorts of thoughts out of his head. "The maid at our dorm's a pretty good cook. I'm sure she'd love to make something for us." He then remembered that Sharon also had the tendency to troll as hard as Mikoto did. "...Oooooooooon second thought, maybe that's not the best idea." Rean said, wincing. Having them both in the same room was probably more chaotic energy than he could handle. "There's also Kirche's out in Trista. Their food is pretty good too."

Mikoto Shimizu (7002) has posed:
Mikoto thinks about this for a bit and grins.  

"That sounds good!  Though maybe going to your room is a bit early in this relationship~..." Mikoto teases him.

Oh yeah, this is going to be hell for Rean if they ever joined forces.
