"Wha-- buh--"

Dia stumbles back with the force of the impact, thankfully managing to steady herself on the side of the stairwell before she collapses onto the floor. She asked for more of a reaction, yes, but she didn't expect anything of this caliber. The sudden switch is far too much for her to handle, Mari's words are making her whole body burn -- and so even though her arm strength is nothing close to a crowbar, Dia's first response is to try and free herself of the wailing girl's grip.

"M-Mari-san! Cease this at once! Your voice is way too loud! We're on school grounds, for heavens' sake, and--" It's then that she notices the hint of wetness seeping through her uniform's blouse. The sobs were a touch too dramatic for her to discern their sincerity, but this leaves little room for doubt. "--Are you crying?"
shinelikea: (o//o!!)

"Ah..."

Mari's words take a second to register, as Dia's brain grinds to a temporary halt at the sight of her face. It's overwhelming, in part due to the realization that she's the one who brought this on, and in part because-- well...

It's cute. Mari's flushed, tear-stained face is painfully, unbearably cute.

It's probably-- no, definitely wrong for her to be thinking this, and Dia shakes the thought out of her head, screwing her eyes shut.

"I forgive you," she squawks, "so let go already!" But she instantly regrets how harsh that comes out, and so she tries again, softer: "I-it's hard to breathe like this, okay?"

"Back to your usual self, are you?" Dia heaves out a sigh, but in truth, she's relieved. Even knowing Mari for a whole decade, she's completely unequipped to handle her tears.

"Here," she reaches into her pocket to produce a handkerchief, which she holds out to Mari. "Dry your face properly."

Outside, the rain lightens to a drizzle.

"It's only because you've been pushing me into these situations with your impossible behavior," Dia mutters. There's little bite to it. Her hand is loose in Mari's, neither rejecting nor reciprocating at first -- though her fingers do, after a beat, curl back against hers just barely.

"--And I don't consider this conversation over, either! I still... want to talk to you more." Her eyes dart away again. "Not at school. Just the two of us."

agreed tbh

Dia's face scrunches up in a mixture of embarrassment and distaste. "In that case, forget what I said," she snaps back, planting her hand over Mari's mouth to keep any further nonsense from spilling out. "And don't confess for me before I've said anything!"
shinelikea: (I AM DISAPPOINTED IN YOU)

[personal profile] shinelikea 2017-02-25 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
"You'll get one," Dia says coolly, rubbing at her dampened wrist, "if you can stay serious for longer than five minutes."

She doesn't know how to make Mari understand how much this means to her; everything about this situation is new and uncertain, and Dia hates uncertainty. It makes her feel vulnerable. It's scary.

So she goes with the safest bet here: a threat. "The moment you make me angry again I'll get up and leave, understood?"
shinelikea: (straightforward)

[personal profile] shinelikea 2017-02-25 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
"No," Dia answers flatly, fishing her own bright red umbrella from out of her bag. "I have my own, thank you very much."
shinelikea: (huffy)

[personal profile] shinelikea 2017-02-25 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Please, the entrance is less than fifteen feet away." A hearty roll of the eyes. "Sharing an umbrella will only ensure both of us getting wet. And besides--" Dia's gaze flickers towards the hallway-- "the others will be heading home soon, they're going to see us!"
shinelikea: (!!!)

[personal profile] shinelikea 2017-02-25 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
The look on Dia's face grows steadily more mortified as Mari goes on, and by the end of it she teeters dangerously close to real, actual distress.

"None of that!" she admonishes, more frantic than stern. "We won't be--" her voice drops to a whisper for the next word-- "kissing, anywhere on school grounds, and certainly not in the director's office! This was a one-time thing, all right? An anomaly! A fluke!"
shinelikea: (HNNN)

[personal profile] shinelikea 2017-02-25 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm telling you now, but a discussion really is all it'll be, understood?" With that said, she steps out from under the staircase, waiting for Mari to join her before heading towards the exit. As luck would have it, not thirty seconds later do the rest of Aqours follow suit, and Dia breathes out an internal sigh of relief at having rejected the love-umbrella.

"Ah, Mari-san, Dia-san! Looks like the two of you made up, huh?" Chika comes chittering up to them, and Dia rushes to respond before Mari gets the chance to.

"Not yet," she states with an authoritative pound of her umbrella's botton end against the floor. "I'm just about to accompany her home, in fact, so I can thoroughly explain the faults in her behavior."

While it's difficult to determine the extent to which Chika has bought it, she's at the very least willing to accept the explanation without probing further. On the way out, Kanan shoots her an entertained smirk, alongside one pointedly-raised eyebrow.

Dia glowers.

"Well, even if the others retained some suspicion, you were far too rambunctious for anyone to get a word in." So despite the weariness to Dia's sigh, you could more or less call it a success...?

Crinkling her nose, Dia points to the handkerchief dangling from Mari's fingers. Between the honest tears and the manufactured nose-blowing melodrama, it's certainly seen better days. "You best be washing that before returning it."

"You say that as if you're a remotely trustworthy person," Dia counters, carefully stepping around a puddle. She can't help but note, internally, how familiar this all feels -- just how little seems to have changed, when not ten minutes ago Mari was earnestly sobbing in her arms and her own heart was threatening to beat out of her chest.

But she can't let herself relax too much just yet-- right, she owes Mari a proper confession. A straightforward one. As they walk, she tries to piece the words together in her head... and if her pace slows and she begins lagging behind, she doesn't seem to notice.
