i believe every day's a good day when you paint

[acherontiastyx]

[...so, shortly after breakfast, there's a note posted to the refrigerator door (and well, shoved under Elda's door, all things considered) in handwriting that's come to be really easily recognizable in its jankiness.]

YO. WE HAVE PAINTS. WE HAVE SPRAY PAINT. WE ARE ALLOWED TO DO WHATEVER WE WANT TO THE WALLS AS LONG AS WE DON'T BREAK THEM.

LET'S MAKE THE ACADEMY'S WALLS OUR CANVAS.

BE IN THE ART STUDIO AT 6:00.

[At the appointed time, when those interested walk into the art studio, they'll see that holy shit, Guzma got a lot of paints out of the storage room and put them all over the tables. There's a lot of stuff there, ready for everyone to grab and spread out all over the academy and paint all over everything.]

[foundfate]

And I'm sure you wrote this without loving me too.

[He's indicating to the word on his head. Come on Elda, if what you feel for him is love then she is loved in turn as well.

...but yes he needs the sharpie.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Steals it from Orihime.

throws it at his head ]

[oyashiromama]

Watanuki's right, that's surely not the case.

[Shush, Elda. Loved is very appropriate here.]

[matchbreaker]

I meant the two redheads do.

[ Responding to Watanuki, not Hanyuu. She doesn't love you guys!!

... Except Hanyuu. And maybe Silver ]

[foundfate]

[It bounces off his head, but he'll manage to catch it.]

Just hand it over like a normal person you ass!

[But he's going to uncap the sharpie and, well. Apparently he's going to make the exact nature of his feelings for Orihime known, as what he writes on her forehead is slightly different from what everyone else got.]

I love you

[There Silver, hopefully you're happy, because that's as close to a confession as he's going to do.]

[feistytrader]

[...Despite everything, that gets a small smile out of him, and he sets Watanuki down.]

Make sure you check yours in a mirror, Orihime.

[feistytrader]

[...Silver takes the sharpie and adds a little to Elda's head.

Loved and full of love

It's getting a little crowded up there.]

[foundfate]

[As soon as he's back on his feet, he's yanking on a bit of Silver's hair. Gotta keep him in line, no spoiling the surprise.]

[plentyfriendly]

I'd say less "received" and more "won", but there's not much difference.

['sup gangfriend]

[matchbreaker]

... What the hell did you just write?!

[ SHE CAN'T SEE IT. but she is grabbing his wrist to get the marker ]

[feistytrader]

[Look dude he's making sure she doesn't miss it, alright, jeez take it easy-]

[feistytrader]

You'll see.

[But he'll easily pass the marker over.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Well then tbh unless you see it as normal someone should gag Elda from doing her Trademark Evil Laugh over here ]

[oyashiromama]

[...Ah, well, looks like what he'd said at the sleepover isn't entirely accurate.]

Yes, please do.

[Good for them. Watching this, being some kind of part of this... Hanyuu feels blessed.]

[introspects]

[ oh, so...watanuki's doing this, then? okay, this is fine. maybe her heart's a little faster than usual but this is fine nonetheless!

she honestly thinks that what watanuki wrote is the same as everyone else's, so she gives him a soft little smile. ]

T-Thank you, Watanuki-kun!

[ but then silver says that and...she looks curious now? what did he write??? ]

I-I definitely will, after all of this!

[matchbreaker]

[ ... HANYUU. SHE TRUSTS HANYUU.

SHE TURNS TO HER ]

[foundfate]

[He's not too mad, honestly. Well okay, he's feeling a lot of other things right now, but the anger is pretty much gone.]

...thank you.

[That's meant mostly for Silver, but it applies to everyone too. He's not sure where that sudden outburst even came from, but knowing that there's people here who really do care about him makes him feel much better.]

[oyashiromama]

[NOPE she's shaking her head.]

I can't spoil the surprise, Elda.

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah, water might be good. Or... seaweed, maybe? Like, I've seen pictures of underwater kelp forests and crap like that, so you could probably do both and have it look really good.

[matchbreaker]

[ WHY THIS.

She holds out the sharpie threateningly ]

I'll write more on you!

[foundfate]

[See, this is so much better than motives and murder, right?]

[feistytrader]

Don't worry. It's worth the wait.

[...He may be teasing Watanuki a little.]

[foundfate]

[Should he say something? He should say something. But talking is what keeps messing stuff up for him, isn't it? Because he overthinks everything and talks way too much, and he's such a mess anyway that it just leaks out of his mouth any time he opens it-]

You're, ah....I-it's no problem. It's the truth, too.

[He has no idea what he's going to do after she sees that. He's probably just going to hide in a room somewhere and pretend to sleep until the morning, when hopefully everything will be better somehow.]

[foundfate]

[He can throw the sharpie at her now, at least.]

[oyashiromama]

[...takes a tiny step back.]
