ā Ā well,Ā Ā i worry about lots of stuff.Ā Ā āĀ Ā Ā the words come lisped out from around the boyās bottom lip,Ā Ā sat perched neatly between the pears of his teeth,Ā Ā leaving pebble light indentations in the plush skin.Ā Ā [ what does shinso worry about?Ā Ā does it darken his own worries?Ā Ā blur them,Ā Ā pale them?Ā Ā did they worry about the same things?Ā Ā worry piles upon worry piles upon worry until the gaps are filled and rigged. ]Ā Ā WORRY OR NOT,Ā Ā THERE WAS A JOB TO DO:Ā Ā fingers had yet to clasp around the threaded chord of the charger,Ā Ā and it was starting to drive kaminari to frustration.Ā Ā he finishes his thought like he hadnāt taken a multi-second pause,Ā Ā like he hadnt opened and ending to the previous comment.Ā Ā Ā ā Ā like,Ā Ā when i was like,Ā Ā i used tā worry that a squid was gonna come outta my closet and take my toes.Ā Ā or,Ā Ā last night i was worried,Ā Ā because i saw there may be bad lightning storms on the weather channel.Ā Ā and,Ā Ā now iām kinda worried,Ā Ā ācause i dunno where else my charger would be if notĀ Ā āĀ Ā ā
electric boy surges forward with quick,Ā Ā harsh movements:Ā Ā HE JABS THE TOP OF HIS SKULL INTO THE BOTTOM OF HIS BED FRAME,Ā Ā and heās sure thereās gonna be a nice bruise there in a couple hours,Ā Ā but triumph eats away any of that.Ā Ā [ kaminari is shimmying back out from under the bed just as quickly as heād nearly disappeared from underneath it. ]Ā Ā settled between his lips is the port of the charger,Ā Ā yellow cable and all.Ā Ā heās grinning like an idiot,Ā Ā and kaminariās stomach growls audibly at the prospects of a late lunch.Ā Ā Ā ā Ā i got it!Ā Ā oh,Ā Ā yeahĀ Ā āĀ Ā yeah,Ā Ā food sounds great.Ā Ā iām likeĀ Ā ā¦Ā Ā super hungry,Ā Ā anyway!Ā Ā okay,Ā Ā yeah,Ā Ā letās go.Ā Ā ā
shinso doesnāt know why,Ā Ā but his heart hurts a little to know denki is so overcome with worry...Ā Ā Ā he struggles to feel for other people sometimes.Ā Ā Ā if shinso was being entirely honest,Ā Ā he struggles to feel for himself sometimesĀ Ā --Ā Ā his own emotions come to him like dark glimpses into a different storyĀ Ā [Ā Ā barely felt,Ā Ā barely heard,Ā Ā little whispers that passed into the night:Ā Ā he understands the emotions that overwhelm him,Ā Ā but the quieter ones need to be teased out like scared animals huddling for safetyĀ Ā ].Ā Ā Ā but he knows that his heart hurts for denki here.Ā Ā he knows that he wants to assure the other that everything will be okay,Ā Ā even if he doesnāt know if thatās the truth.Ā Ā he keeps his mouth shut,Ā though.Ā Ā besides,Ā shinso worried about lots of silly stuff.Ā Ā getting up late and wasting his chance to be a hero and never being truly seen.Ā Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā Ā you wereĀ worried that a squid was going to take your toes?Ā Ā why would you worry about that?Ā Ā squids donāt even like toes.Ā Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā Ā Ā thereās far bigger issues with the squid - toe fear,Ā of course,Ā Ā but shinso canāt get over the toe part of it.Ā Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā Ā i used to be scared of mirrors.Ā Ā i suppose that isnāt a worry,Ā Ā though.Ā Ā Ā Ā ā
shinso winces when kaminari hurts his head...Ā Ā Ā he seems to take the pain well,Ā though,Ā Ā and thereās at least no tears when his head appears again.Ā Ā maybe he worries too much.Ā Ā he shouldnāt be giving kaminari any advice on worry when he canāt even dampen his ownĀ Ā --Ā Ā itās the blind leading the blind.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā Ā we need to stop by my room so i can get my wallet...Ā Ā thereās a nice little coffee shop close by.Ā Ā a little hidden,Ā Ā too,Ā Ā so barely anyone goes.Ā Ā we could go there.Ā Ā Ā ā
