the best hero ever

I know, right? It felt like winter was just a few weeks ago. But I believe I’ve seen you around…Maybe in class, or in a club? I’m Toris, though.

Wait, wait, winter? Dude, I just wanted to hide away for the winter. It was so cold and I don’t know how people didn’t got sick from it! I just stayed home as much as I can and played with  my laptop and phone to get apps. 

Dude, i’m gonna be stuck conditioning over the summer! I still can’t get over the year ending and everything else like whoa, my birthday?? It’s coming up soon so i’m just-- have we met before?

Permission was granted by the artist !

I don’t think it is going to work, Al… You might have to shelve your plan for now…

I’m not crying, my eyes are just sweating. And I do more than hear about the weather, I predict it. Which means we’re getting more fucking rain next week.

Oh, so you’re like our weatherman or something? Well, if it’s rain, we can always be prepared for it! We can bring umbrellas and rain coats and rain boots. Oh, there’s also just running and hoping for the best!

[blinks] I don’t want to know why you need llama spit… but I don’t see that working, Al. Where would we get the straws anyway?

From the kitchen and cafeteria! Geez, think. Oh and we’d have to get bendy straws so it can work! 

[Not phased the slightest by his somewhat awkward greeting, but found it endearing] Hm, Akihabara, or Akibagahara, is a major shopping center for electronic products, but it is also popular for many otakus. The district has numerous shops filled with video games, anime, manga, and other collector items for otakus. It is also famous for its numerous maid cafes. 

Hey, wait! I actually made friends with someone who worked in a maid cafe! It was just online and on their break, we mostly played games but they were cool! I don’t know if they’re still working there though but hey, i’d go there for the merchandise. It’s so hard finding things here for anime and mangas that aren’t that popular as the rest. Like Shingeki no Kyojin and Neon Genesis Evangelion! You can find that everywhere but Hunter x Hunter? I’d have to go online for that. 

[Smiles] However, if your movie is correct, at least you die in your sleep. There are far worse ways to die.  

Don’t let me die, I have so much to live for! I don’t want to die, that’s totally uncool for a future hero! [ and now he jumped off his chair and grabbing onto the other’s clothing, shaking him back and forth ] I can’t die, not yet!

Um… I have never tried to control or talk to bugs and I could at least talk to an alpaca? No guarantees it would do what I ask…

Okay, okay. [ puts an arm around the other’s shoulder and pulls him close ] This is the plan. We go to the zoo at the weekend, right? And oh, we need like enough straws to reach from the zoo to the school and alot of general llama spit.

Pretty good! Obviously I can do claws… I can do ears too if I try… Eyes and teeth are still not happening though…

Hey, what about you, Mr. I can talk to animals like it’s no big deal? You can just take revenge on people and be like, hey squirrels, you should totally throw nuts at that guy over there! Wait, can you control bugs-- wait. Can you... control... an alpaca? This is important. 

[Chuckles lightly] はい (Hai/yes), it is easier to buy things in Japan. We have Akihabara which is considered to be a cultural center for otakus. [Smile widens] I’m Sakura Sae, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Alfred-kun. [bows head politely.] 

[ shit shit different greeting does he bow back would that be rude would that be too much ] Uh, yeah! [ fuck ] It’s nice to meet you too and Akihabara? Never heard of it for some reason but if I get the chance, i’ll definitely check it out! [ and now here’s some laughter although it’s awkward a bit because of that first greeting ]

Well I wasn’t going to use mine. ‘Spider intestines, even if it is an AP Bio textbook, sounds rather unpleasant.’ Besides, the thing is gone. You’re welcome. 

Oh my god. I’m gonna die from spiders. I had so much to do. I had so many plans...
