Neku Sakuraba

this isn't awkward at all

"I'll be fine, Joshua," Neku deadpanned, arms crossing over his chest as he watched the other mess with his phone, morbid curiosity rearing its ugly head.   "You may not know it, but I've dealt with 'dead' before - it's not something I'd like to go back to being."  He held out his hand again, waiting for his phone.

He raised an eyebrow, attempting to force down a laugh at the comment. Joshua shook his head however. “No, I don’t sleep in subways.” The smile had returned by now, teasing with his next question. “Why, would you offer me a home if I was? But no. I have a place.”

“Well maybe not the sky. Could have been a building. A window. Maybe a moving car.” He deadpanned, not exactly amused about the subject either. The lose bothered him much more than he let on. And that’s how he preferred it. No one knowing the depth of his thoughts on it. The blonde sighed. “And no, I haven’t been wandering around like an idiot.” He pointed out. Well… Not exactly.

Neku shook his head, somewhat at a loss.  Leave it to Joshua to be stubborn about everything.  "Please tell me you're staying somewhere and aren't living in the subways."   The scary part was that he meant it.

“Don’t have to tell me twice, Neku.” Joshua replied, though the slightly cocky smile remained on his lips. “I know.” He raised an eyebrow at the question, the eased expression slipping away from his face as he thought.  His first response was to point straight above them. “The sky?” It was a half attempted joke. He sighed. “Well I fell from something.” He waved his hand dismissively. “It was an accident. A couple weeks ago. Can’t remember anything other than that.” The blonde had no idea. They told him it had to be some sort of fall but he got up without a scrape. And like everything else, the memory escaped him.

"You fell?  From the sky?"  Neku assumed it was another one of Joshua's tasteless jokes - and maybe some things really didn't change, but.  He sighed.  Okay, so Joshua hit his head and lost his memory, that part made sense.  Maybe he really was a Composer somewhere.  "...So you've been wandering around like an idiot since you woke up?" Neku, the King of no Tact.

Joshua raised a hand, running it through his own ashen colored lock, one strand remaining twisted around his finger. He shook his head at the other’s comment. “I’m told that more often than you would believe,” The words were accompanied by a giggle, before letting his hands drop. “Well I’m a different person, than him. So there are differences.” He waved his hand at the other, putting another step of distance between them since Neku wouldn’t move. “Don’t assume be appearance, dear.”

"I know that.  I'm not an idiot."  Neku finally made an effort to cross his arms and square a hardened look at Joshua.  "You're two different people."   He just reminds him of Josh, that's all.  No shame in that.  "...speaking of which, where are you even from?  Shibuya ... or like, farther away like Kyoto?"

The blush wasn’t surprising based on the teen’s previous reaction anyway. But Joshua hadn’t expected the snapped retort, and at the close distance it earned the orange haired teen a stubborn frown from the fallen angel. A softer expression slid back into place though, brushing his fingers across the other male’s cheek bone - a weak attempt at something… comfort? Maybe. Either way he took a half step back. “Ah well,” The blonde shrugged. “A loss for them.”

The gesture took Neku by absolute surprise.  He opened his mouth to retort but fell silent, blinking at Joshua, trying to decipher just what the hell that meant.   "You're weird," he decided, finally able to breathe now that there was some sort of distance between them.  Sure, it was small, but it was something.  "I mean, weirder than him, at least."  He probably should take that as a cue to step back from Joshua completely but his feet were lead, despite his sharp tongue.
