     She wasn’t even sure why she’d shown up on his doorstep; she’d almost talked herself out of it and turned around several times before she’d even lifted a hand to ring the buzzer. It was late and she knew everyone else would be asleep, but she knew Haru enough to know he’d still be awake playing video games or finding any other reason not to sleep. Rin felt suddenly self-conscious, until he opened the door and spoke her name and it felt like she could breathe again. Just seeing him there in the doorway, as surprised by her arrival as she was to be there interrupting his night in such an unusual way but he was quick to spare her any need for explanation by nagging that she should have called first. It was his comment about food however that caused her to smile darkly, knowing full well there was very little she cared to eat and even more questioned how edible his cooking skills were. “If I’d called then it would’ve made it a plan to be here. It wasn’t a plan...I just showed up.” She reminded him, easily led as he took her wrist and ushered her inside. “What would you cook at 2 in the morning exactly?”

❝         Hmm.      ❞         He   responds   ,         the   sound   easily   leaving   his   vocal   emitters   and   he   tilted   his   head   to   the   side   in   consideration.   A   pause.         ❝      I   consider   you   one   of   many   of   my   favorite   people   as   well.      ❞         He   says   ,      easily   ,         dispassionately   ,      but   that   is   only   because   he   is   indeed   an   android.   It   does   not   occur   to   him   to   inflect   tone   with   those   words   as   the   words   themselves   seemed   logical   enough.   But   indeed   ,      they   are   allocated   to   a   sub   folder   within   Data’s   programing   where   the   crew   and   officers   of   the   Enterprise   were   filed   away   ,         marked   as   favorites.   @nightcreators​

❝         Trust   me   the   feeling   is   mutual.         ❞    @nightcreators​

❝      Can   we   focus   on   the   problem   at   hand   ?   We   just   barely   escaped   and   you’re   going   on   about   something   otherwise   irrelevant.   Now   how   do   we   plan   on   talking   our   way   out   of   this   room   and   getting   the   natives   of   this   planet   to   not   skewer   our   bodies   on   sticks   ?      ❞    @nightcreators​

❝      Nothing   I   say   will   make   a   difference.   It   won’t   change   their   minds.   They   won’t   change   what   they   say   or   think   about   me.   Their   opinions   of   me   were   formed   long   ago   when   my   father   married   an   earth   woman.      ❞   @nightcreators​
