Theater Kid's March Comes in Like a Lion

[thestarknows]

⭐ Who: Junna Hoshimi... and you!
⭐ When: Throughout March!
⭐ Where: In Yumemigaoka!
⭐ What: March catch-all!
⭐ Warnings: Junna's grappling with some heavy stuff, so... threads could get into parents not being great, some homophobia, and other things. There's also some implicit sleeping together (nothing NSFW though) in the Lisa and Junna thread, if that's a thing you prefer to avoid!

Well..

[ .. her voice trails off, the girl looking like she's thinking about the other's words. ]

Who do you think you want to see first, more than anyone else..?

[thestarknows]

Well... my girlfriend is the one I want to see most. [She smiles just a little awkwardly.] That's a bit obvious though.

My friends. The people who came for me. You, Illya-chan! I...

Just want to see them. Talk to them. Have things feel normal again.

[reluctants]

[ .. w-wait, she's included there too?

That thought is a little too overwhelming for Illya right now. Especially while she's so busy trying to help Junna! There's no time to freak out about being included! Q-Quick, Illya-- ]

You should go see her then! Go see your girlfriend right now! [ She does sound a little more panicked than a moment ago-- She's just flustered, okay. Flustered, and yet still trying to be encouraging. ] There's nothing stopping you..!

[thestarknows]

[Junna blinks. Maybe she said the wrong thing or--

Then she flusters, hands lifted, and she shakes her head quickly.] A-ah, I still need like... another three or four walks around the lake before I'm that brave, though! R-Really!

[reluctants]

You're already brave!

[ Sorry, Junna. Apparently Illya is not letting it slide so easily this time.. Letting things slide is what seems to get people bummed out enough that they end up in the middle of Disturbances, after all! And while she doubts two would happen to Junna in a row like this, she's not going to risk it. ]

And I know she would totally want to see you too right now! I'm sure of it! Can you really make her wait like that?

[thestarknows]

B-But...

[It's being asked if she can make Lisa wait like that... well, that pushes Junna over the edge. She doesn't think it'll go well -- she's terrified of what Lisa might say -- but the idea she might hurt Lisa more gets her attention. Junna's eyes widen and then, slowly, she nods.]

...y-you're right. I... I should go see her.

[reluctants]

[ Illya nods so strongly. Like Junna thought up this idea all by herself, and wasn't just peer pressured into it by Illya by complete accident.. ]

Right, right! So that means you're going today, right? As soon as you're done walking, right?

[thestarknows]

R-Right! Yes. Soon as I'm done walking.

[Which... should be soon. Her legs are starting to burn a little from all of the walking.] ...Th-thanks for the push.

[reluctants]

[ She blinks for a moment. Something about Illya seems momentarily surprised by the thanks, especially over this, but.. ]

Sorry if I was being a little too harsh about it. [ Look, she has to say that, even in the face of the thanks! Illya isn't fully used to being this bold, it usually only happens when she gets so into things that she lets herself go..

Maybe it was just because she was that worried about Junna. ]

It's just.. I really don't like seeing you this way, you know? No one should have to feel bummed out about this stuff when none of us can help it!

[thestarknows]

It's... it's okay. I...

[She blinks with surprise at the apology. It takes her brain a second to catch up. She still feels like she's thinking though molasses sometimes.

There's a small smile, though.] Y...yeah. I'm--I'm trying to get better. It's... all still catching up with me, I guess.
