hi!! could i please have a danganronpa romantic matchup? sorry this is long i think!!

i’m a bi (asexual?) girl with an intp and 5w4 personality type. My sun is scorpio, my rising is libra and my moon is capricorn. I like lolita, especially sweet and gothic lolita but i usually dress casually but cutely e.g white lolita peaterpan collar shirt, pastel pink heart hair clips, black cardigan, pastel pink pleated skirt and creepers (shoes) with frilly socks ^^. physically i have pastel pink hair a bit below my ears, have green/grey eyes and put lots of effort into making my eyelashes look big and curly with mascara, eyelash curlers, and oils. i’m 5 foot tall and generally prefer short boys from like 5 foot to 5’8… maybe less? and i don’t care abt girls heights. i have ocd and depression and recently got diagnosis with autism but i’m still in a bit of denial/kinda feel like i’m lying/am an imposter. according to a quiz my love language is quality time but i think that they’re all important. i would describe myself as stoic, quiet and somewhat shy, loyal and i try to be sweet and funny ^^. i’m good at english and kinda good at statistics but am an airhead in like all other areas. i don’t really take things seriously, usually because of a lack of understanding, am a bit mischievous and think i’m kinda annoying accidentally. i often also kinda offended my friends when trying to make jokes (i.e the time i said my friends boyfriends mustache looked like pubes. but worse:/). my highest kins are: sonia, chiaki, peko, gundam and i also kinda relate to ibuki, mikan, himiko and even though i love him i hate to admit it but kokichi. outside of danganronpa i kin: L, ryuk, the cat from ghost stories, rei from evangelion, kenma, annie and pieck, greg from over the garden wall, himiko toga, ririka momobami, and relate a bit to catra, spinel and menma. i love to play video games, sleep, daydream while cuddling my plushies, go shopping for clothes, collectables (like dinosaur and anime figures). i like plushies, iced coffee, pizza, the smell of vanilla and strawberries, lucky bags, claw machines, am interested natural disasters (specifically tsunamis and earthquakes), air conditioning, running, cute metal music like lady baby, baby metal and candye syrup but i also like soundtracks (especially for my daydreams), pop, indie pop, metal, rock, vocaloid and idk how to describe it but somewhat repetitive/robot/machine like music. i also like tiny spoons, airports, rain when it’s not an inconvenience, pastel pink, strawberries, thunder storms, early spring, fire, ocean storms (i want to go on a ship to be in one), cute things, video games, sugarbunnies (sanrio), heart shaped things, dinosaurs (especially from the cretaceous period), sitting on countertops and walking and running at night.

a/n: omg u are so cool pls,,, thank u sm for participating in my matchup event!! and ty for the lengthy desc!! it really helped me get a good matchup with more detail!! i hope you like your matchup<33 also you’re a pieck and rei kinnie hey lol😏😏ALSO WE BOTH KIN RYUK AND THATS SO FUNNY TO ME

matchup status: OPEN

more info in my pinned post!!!

i match u up with...!

mikan tsumiki!! (runner(s) up: korekiyo shinguuji & tenko chabashira)

i feel like she’d be a little intimidated to talk to you at first but as soon as she sees how sweet of a person you are, she’d start to feel more comfortable and less frantic like she normally is. you seem to have tons of interests and mikan knows a bunch of conversation topics. she would gladly learn about dinosaurs just to talk about them with you! she’d probably be nervous to talk to you and learn so many little facts about the things you like the night before so that she knew she would have something to talk about with you.

and she probably thinks your style is so cute!! the first thing she would say to you would probably be complimenting the way you dress or look just because she thinks it’s so cool!! like and it wouldn’t be some superficial compliment, it would be a genuine one like complimenting your eyes or how cute she thinks your shoes are. and even though she’s not very tall herself, she thinks how your short is so cute!

i also feel like her love language would be quality time as well!! sometimes she feels like she’s too awkward for conversations so just being there with your partner is nice for her. and she’d be so happy if you invited her to go shopping with you!! (she’d also be ecstatic if you let her try on one of your outfits but that’s another conversation) she’d love seeing what clothes you recommend for her and the ones you pick out for yourself!! honestly, she just really likes hanging out with you and spending time with you & she’d be happy for any date ideas you’d have for the two of you. walks during night!!!! she’d absolutely love that, even though she’d be concerned and worried at first for it being dangerous and not getting enough sleep at night is bad for your health, but as soon as you both start walking around at night she’d stop worrying about it and start enjoying the nightscape, the way it’s quieter at night, and how pretty the stars are. (if you do start running while on these walks and you trip and scrape your knee you know she’d be walking you back to the house, politely scolding you saying that you shouldn’t have been running and wrapping your knee in bandage)

ALSO back to store dates, she’d always bring extra quarters with her just to do the claw machines!!! and if it’s ones that you have to use the claw to grab the thing inside, and you asked her to ‘win’ the thing inside for you she’d be so nervous about messing up and not getting it, so she’d frantically wave her hands in front of herself, quickly talking about how she’ll mess it up somehow. spoiler alert: she actually would win the thing inside, despite being a nervous wreck.

i think mikan would have so many ideas for what to do on rainy days. like so many. she’d suggest so many things. baking together, board games, puzzles, painting, reading, making jewelry together, movie marathons, watching the rain, dancing in the kitchen, etc. but she’s completely fine with just relaxing and staying in bed for the day!!! (rainy days are my fave so i love writing abt rainy days)

arcade dates as well!! she knows you like games & pizza so that seems like a cute idea to her!! she would love watching u play the video games and would love it if you taught her how to play a game and would feel extra special if you let her know some of the little tips to the games.

i also think she’d be really giggly around you just because she’s so like,,, happy yk?

if you do make jokes around her and they offend someone, even if they don’t mean to, she’d say she thinks they’re funny anyways and laugh. she’s used to being bullied, she can tell the difference between being straight up mean and just joking around with friends. and she never thinks you’re annoying!! she’s always thought of herself to be a pest and to annoy others so she’d never want you to think of yourself that way!!

Metrocon 2019!

Hey yall sorry I haven't been as active, I was busy literally every single day of Metrocon and I finally got a breather. Anyway I wanna just summerize what I can remember because I don't wanna completely forget these wonderful memories. I wanna look back at em over and over again 💕

THURSDAY:

Thursday was the 5 year anniversary of my Gundam Wing cosplay group! I got to hang out with my Metrowing buds and we did a nice photoshoot with the pilots and we had so much fun! I miss them dearly cuz they live out of state but the time I had with them is one I always cherish.

I pretty much spent the whole day with them and I decided that Thurs/Fri would be autograph day for us. By golly the VAs were all so super sweet. All of them loved the candy and the pictures I made for them and as I predicted I got really emotional and kinda cried in front of Luci Christian cuz she is one reason I wanted to VA. Her range is insanely versatile! I legit would call her the Meryl Streep of anime & she was SO kind to me ;///;! When I started crying she said "Don't ever apologize for being real. You're a very sweet person, & I believe in you, there is always room for everyone in this industry ❤️"

And man I just felt so happy at that. She makes me feel confident and I wanna keep trying my best. Same with Josh, Alexis, David & Kara! They were all super encouraging and OmG like ok I think I astral projected when Josh did Armin's or Yuri's voice when he was signing stuff. I teared up QwQ I love his energy and dedication!

I think one of my fave moments during the autographs was when I made the "I'm gonna Bertell you what I Bertold him" joke and David and Josh absolutely lost it xD! They were like OMG WE NEED THAT AS A TSHIRT FOR DAVID XD! Like "You just got BERTOLD" and then they proceeded to make jokes about how he roasted Armin in many ways xD it was hilarious 😂! But oof.

I spent most of the Thursday browsing the Dealer Room and this is was one of the first times I was able to find new Takanori Nishikawa CDs so I bought some that I don't have TTwTT I was so happy! We ended the day by doing a run through of our performances for Anime Idol with Trowa. And it went really well🎶Also, at the cosplay booth, the staff liked my sis' Clear Card Sakura so much they asked her to enter the cosplay hallway contest and I'm so proud of her cuz this her first cosplay ever ^u^- she looks so cute! And many people wanted her pic all weekend :D

FRIDAY:

As usual this is Anime Idol day and I was super busy prepping. I was a bit more confident now that I finally had performed in front of a test audience. But as usual I am always still nervous no matter how much I prepe. Luckily for me in the morning I was getting last minute autographs and as I was getting Darker Than Black signed by Luci, I commented on Anime Idol and she said break a leg! I had given her an Ochaco mug as a gift which made her SUPER happy 😊! I felt much more confident after that and I went to the Main Events hall happily soon after.

Anime Idol was really fun this year! There was some nervousness from the contestants but we all just got together and made some fun friendships! I'm so proud not only of Mama Trowa but also of the other contestants I mentored or was able to help feel less nervous. The winners did deserve it! It was a very good act! And as for myself, I advertised a bit and got some new people from the toku community to come watch the show! I even saw a Kamen Rider Geiz cosplayer who came to the show it was AWESOME! My bffs who were only there for Friday also came & a few Golden*Star members too I was just so happy and thankful! They really made my day! My bffs were dressed in Ghibli heroines and OMG they were lovely & we did a small Tik Tol together ^_^ it was fun!

After the show my new Golden*Star member came up to me and I legit almost cried cuz they were SUPER adorable and kind and they had prepared a Cecil Ajima merch box for me saying thanks for allowing them to join and that they look up to me as a mentor and friend and I'm so happy I had waterproof eyeliner that day cuz oh boy that hit me in the feels 😭! I love! I got them back tho, for initiation I got down on one knee and gave em a flower bouquet,haichews & a golden star balloon as a way to welcome them to the Utapri cosplay group! So now we have a lovely new Tokiya 😊 yay!

SATURDAY:

Ok so despite loosing one prop, Saturday was really fun! I finally debuted Poppy Pipopapo and I basically used the entire day to find video game character cosplayers and we got to dance with them! I was shooting a music video for People Game for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Abridged ^u^! Everyone whom I asked to dance with me was excited for it and it was a blast! I loved being able to spread so much fun and positivity as Poppy :) it was a dream cosplay come true! I can't wait to pit the vid together ^^🌸💕🎼��🎶! Later at night, I ran into my new friend who is gonna be Tokiya (they were dressed as Eiichi & their bud was Kira from HE★VENS!) we spent a good 2 hrs taling about all our future plans with Golden*Star and their other friend was so impressed with how friendly our Utapri group was that they wanted to join ;w; it was actually really sweet💕

SUNDAY:

Was THE BIG DAY AT LAST. The very first time my Utapri cosplay group Golden*Star Cosplay would finally have our first meeting/photoshoot together as ST☆RISH & QUARTET NIGHT! And it went flawless like a dream! Guys, omg I hit a milliom dollar jackpot. I love this group so much 😭! Everyone was on time, we all worked together so well, the photoshoot went perfectly! And we livestreamed it! After the photos, we sang Reiji a Happy Birthday 🎁 cuz it was his character bday the day before & I bought cupcakes and fried chicken for everyone xD! Cuz that's what Shining Live said happened fffff. In the most complimentary way, I feel like this cast is so on point, we are all pretty much our characters xD! I thought managing an 11 member group would be too hard at first but we have all grown so close over this year & we all have so much love and respect for one another, we all just felt so natural hanging out, as of we had done this for years ;U; ! It was lovely!

We tried stalling saying goodbye cuz we didn't wanna leave ;///; but we had to. We are still planning to watch Maji Love Kingdom as a group when SentaiFilmworks gives the green light for theatrical releases. But for now we will work hard to make HolMat even better! I love them all and can't wait to keep working together to make more wonderful memories! See yall next con!

Unlikely Office Romances 7-8

[fanfiction] Gundam Wing, 1x2x1, probably PG-13ish though there are some mildly sexy times and the usual trashmouth

Basically Duo is a jerk and Heero is an awkward nerd.

Previous Parts

7-8 under the cut

- 7 -

I snapped awake, sitting up in the unfamiliar bed. I had probably slept for about two hours, enough to recharge my battery. I could have kept on sleeping, but something wasn’t right.

Heero’s blue eyes stared into mine blearily.

“Have you not slept?” I asked, pushing my bangs out of my eyes.

“Can’t,” he said.

I sighed, rolling my feet over the side of the bed. “I gotta piss.”

Heero shrugged.

I went and did my business, splashing some water on my face and peeling off my sweaty uniform shirt. The hotel staff had kindly moved our bags to the new room, so I dug through mine for some nice lounge clothes. I changed into a t-shirt and sweatpants, noting how Heero averted his eyes as I did so.

“So what’s up, Heero?” I asked, leaning against the headboard of my bed. “You kinda lost it after shooting that guy.”

Heero looked down at the bed, running the comforter through his fingers anxiously.

“I know conversation isn’t exactly your forte, but I wanna go back to sleep, and I feel like in order to do that I need you to go to sleep first.”

“I can leave…”

“Oh my god, Heero, I’m not kicking you out,” I said, throwing my hands in the air. “I’m… worried, okay?”

Heero smiled a little, still not looking at me.

It was such an awkward expression on his face, and it made me feel weird.

“You don’t have to worry,” he said quietly. “I just… I didn’t expect all that to happen. I didn’t expect that I’d have to confront… that part of me. I’m fine now.”

“Then go the fuck to sleep.”

“Yeah,” he said, sliding down into the bed and closing his eyes.

“You’re not sleeping,” I announced after five minutes of waiting.

He cracked an eye open at me.

“I have to say, I don’t have a clue what’s going on in your head,” I said. “But I know you’re upset.”

“Why do you care?” Heero asked, and it was a genuine question.

“Because I can’t sleep with you staring at me.”

Heero huffed out a puff of air and turned his back to me.

“Also, we’re… I don’t know… it’s not like I hate you or anything. I… you know, care and stuff.”

Heero snorted.

“What?” I protested. “I’m being sincere.”

Heero finally turned back to me, sitting up. “Are we supposed to have some kind of heart-to-heart that makes you feel better?”

“Er, I thought you were the one who was supposed to feel better.”

“I’m fine.”

“Christ, you are as annoying as ever,” I said, getting up. “I’m going to take a shower. Go buy us some beer.”

“You want to drink? It’s not even noon. And you’re on the job.”

“I can’t fucking stand you!” I groaned. “Buy us some damn hot chocolate then. And get snacks. Good snacks. Not carrot sticks or whatever healthy shit you think are snacks, but are clearly not.”

“Is that all?” Heero asked, arching his eyebrow at me.

“Yes, Heero, that will be all. Now chop, chop.”

Heero shrugged, getting out of his own bed.

I went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. It felt nice to be clean. I braided my hair again and pulled back on my sweatpants.

I returned to the room and grabbed my pillow, tossing it on Heero’s bed. I shifted the TV so that it was pointing in that direction, then sat down and made sure the angle was right.

“What are you doing?” Heero asked when he came in, looking uncomfortable.

“We’re gonna rent a movie,” I said.

“Don’t pick something awful,” Heero cautioned, sitting on the end of the bed. He started carefully removing the items he’d purchased from a reusable shopping bag.

“I have great taste,” I said, frowning at him. I really wanted to ask if he had brought that shopping bag with him. It just seemed too ridiculous to bring a reusable shopping bag from L1 to earth on the off chance that he might go grocery shopping.

Heero’s eyes followed mine to the bag. “I’m always prepared.”

I snorted. “What did you get?” I asked, eyeing the growing pile. “Oh, my, double chocolate cookies? Greasy potato chips? Cream-filled mystery pastry?”

“All junk food, guaranteed to ruin your health,” Heero said, handing me a package of fried ice cream. “Eat this before it melts.”

“Heero, I didn’t know you had it in you,” I said, tearing open the package and taking a bite.

Heero smiled that creepy little shy smile of his.

I turned my attention to the TV, flipping through the movie rentals. “Oh, god…” I groaned.

“I’ve already seen it,” Heero said, frowning at me.

“Excellent,” I said, skipping past the Gundam 00 movie.

Heero glared at me.

I grinned. “Oh, I gotta call Une,” I said, pulling out my phone. “You pick a movie,” I added, tossing him the remote.

Heero looked very confused.

“Maxwell,” Une greeted me brusquely from behind her desk.

“Hey, just checking in,” I said.

“I thought you’d be sleeping.”

“Heero couldn’t sleep.”

Heero glared at me.

“Put Yuy on,” Une said sharply.

“Sorry, buddy,” I said, passing him the phone.

Heero looked like a sullen teenager. It was pretty funny, to be honest.

“Yuy, do you know how much damn paperwork I have to fill out because you decided to become an agent for a night?”

“The situation-” Heero started.

“Do I look like I care?” Une interrupted him. “What did you get from the body?”

Heero started doing all his geek babbling, so I took the remote back and on a very strange whim chose the movie.

“Maxwell!”

I turned to find the phone aimed in my direction, the screen filled-up with Une’s stern face. “Yes?”

“You’re back on at six, wrapping up the loose ends, so get some sleep soon,” she ordered. “And take care of Yuy!” she snapped, hanging up the phone.

“Yes, ma’am,” I said, saluting the blank screen.

Heero frowned at me.

“Let’s just watch your stupid movie.”

A confused little wrinkle formed between Heero’s eyebrows.

I started the movie.

“I thought…”

“I’m just gonna sleep through it anyway,” I said, fluffing my pillow and finishing off the fried ice cream.

Heero looked at me uncertainly, then faced forward where he was still sitting at the edge of the bed.

“Get comfortable, dork,” I said.

Heero could not have looked any more uncomfortable.

“Why do you always have to be so damn awkward around me?” I complained, kicking him lightly in the arm.

“Don’t touch me with your nasty socks,” Heero said, giving me a withering look.

“That’s better,” I said with a grin.

Heero finally came to sit against the headboard with me, holding a warm can of hot cocoa in his hands. He opened it and took a sip.

“Now let’s watch a terrible movie about how not to pilot a gundam,” I said, opening the potato chips.

“Why are you so judgmental?” Heero retorted. “The whole series is a historically accurate depiction of the lives of the first gundam pilots.”

“Our great predecessors,” I said, rolling my eyes. “Why they all so damn pretty? Gundam pilots aren’t that pretty. Except for me, obviously.”

Heero shifted.

I eyed him for a moment, then decided to be nice. “Thanks for buying such great snacks.”

Heero shrugged, sipping his cocoa.

We watched the movie.

The main character was basically Heero, which made me laugh almost the whole time. While Heero was clearly annoyed at first, he slowly started to smile. I kept up my ongoing commentary, and he seemed to relax.

I somehow got him under the covers towards the end of the movie, eyes blinking slower and slower.

When I was sure he was asleep, I gathered up the leftover snacks from the bed and put them on the nightstand. I transferred my pillow to my bed and crawled back in. I found myself watching the movie to the end, despite how incredibly stupid I found it, then turned off the TV and easily fell asleep.

Heero was typing away on his computer when I woke up again.

I stumbled off to the bathroom, then stumbled back.

“Whacha doin’?” I asked, tiredly leaning over his shoulder.

Heero tensed up.

“Wow, that’s a dead body,” I said, slightly more awake.

“I’m working,” Heero said, shooing me away.

I snorted, going over to my bag for a change of clothes.

Hilde came over with bagels, and we sprawled out on my bed, watching the news and stuffing our faces.

“Heero, stop with your weird fetishist hobbies and eat with us,” I said.

Heero turned and glared at me.

I grinned at him.

Hilde smacked me in the head.

“Hey, what was that for?” I complained.

“Be nice to the nerd,” she reprimanded me.

“You just called him a nerd.”

“Oh,” Hilde said, flushing. “Well, uh…”

Heero took a bagel from the bag, then went to sit back at his computer.

“Don’t be like that, Heero,” I complained.

“I have work to do,” Heero replied.

Hilde caught my eye and rolled hers.

I shook my head, adding more cream cheese to my bagel. “The time-honored Heero Yuy tradition of work before work.”

We all got into a car after that and set off in our separate directions. While we’d been sleeping, Une had run a raid on the Black Freedom base on L2. It looked like everything was tying up neatly.

Fucking amateurs.

Hilde and I finished up around midnight again, and headed down to the lab to collect Heero.

“What are you even investigating?” I asked, leaning over his shoulder. “The case is pretty much over.”

“I think it’s far from over,” Heero replied, continuing to poke at the bullet fragment with his tweezers.

“Why do you always have to be so overdramatic?”

Heero shooed me away from him.

“Come on, time to call it quits,” I urged, resting my hand on his shoulder.

Heero tensed.

“We’re tired…” I said.

“Then you go,” Heero said.

“Yeah, but you’ll be all noisy when you come back.”

Heero shifted uncomfortably. “W-when am I noisy?”

I think it was supposed to be a jab, but now he was looking all nervous. I moved my hand, and he visibly relaxed. “Well, my finely trained reflexes would wake me up the moment someone came in the room,” I said.

“I could murder you in your sleep and you wouldn’t notice,” Heero countered, looking at his bullet fragment very intently.

Hilde burst out laughing.

“That is a really weird thing to say,” I muttered, crossing my arms over my chest. Then I rethought it and put my hand on his shoulder instead.

Heero tensed.

“So can we go back to the hotel already?” I requested, leaning in close as I spoke.

Heero was completely red.

Oh my god, this was hilarious.

Hilde smacked me in the head.

“Woman, why are you so violent?!” I demanded, letting go of Heero to rub the back of my head.

“Because you’re an asshole,” Hilde responded easily.

“Trowa is definitely being promoted to Best Friend Number One…”

“Good, who would want to be best friends with a loser like you? Anyway, Yuy, come on. The Commander said you’re not allowed to work overtime.”

“I’m not-” Heero tried to protest, but Hilde took his bullet fragment away.

“Let’s go.”

Heero clearly wanted to protest, but Hilde wasn’t having any of it.

We ended up back at the hotel.

“Good night, boys,” Hilde chirped, disappearing into her room across the hall.

“I’m not tired at all,” I complained, flopping on my bed.

Heero shrugged and booted up his laptop.

“Don’t tell me you’re going to keep on working…”

“I’m going to keep on working.”

“Christ, Heero, are you married to the job?”

“Aren’t you?”

“Nope,” I said. “Thinking about quitting, anyway.”

“Oh,” Heero said in a very quiet voice.

“What, are you sad about it?” I needled him, sitting up and poking his chair with my foot.

“It wouldn’t affect me,” Heero said blandly.

“But you would miss me,” I said, grinning. I didn’t really have a good reason to be teasing Heero, other than the fact that the case was basically closed and I was bored. But it was so damn fun to watch him turn red and stuttery.

“I-I…”

“You-you what?”

“I have w-work to do.”

“You’re off the clock,” I said. “Let’s get a drink.”

“I’m working on a theory and-”

“It can wait until tomorrow.”

“It’s pretty urgent-”

“I’ll go get us some drinks and we can drink here then.”

“I don’t-”

“Be right back,” I said, disappearing out the door.

Seeing Heero completely wasted was suddenly my new life goal.

- 8 -

I couldn’t concentrate on the computer screen in front of me. Why did Duo have to be so damn infuriating? He was supposed to make a few snide comments, and then ignore me like he usually did. He certainly wasn’t supposed to be out buying alcoholic beverages for us to consume together. That just didn’t seem like it could possibly end well.

I imagined myself drunkenly confessing to Duo that I had kept a creepy stalker scrapbook about him since the war.

I called Quatre. “Help me.”

“Heero, it’s the middle of the night…” Quatre complained, looking at me with bleary blue eyes.

L1 and the Americas were in the same time zone, so of course I already knew that. Like I would ever not be aware of what time it was in every time zone on earth and in space.

“Duo’s out buying alcohol,” I hissed at him.

Quatre immediately got interested. “Oh?”

“What should I do?” I asked. “I should escape. Yeah, that’s it, if I go out over the balcony-”

“Relax,” Quatre said, giving me a soothing smile.

It made me tenser. “No, but if I climb to the next balcony, there’s a fire escape-”

“Heero,” Quatre said, giving me a stern look. “It’s time to be a man.”

“I am a man, always have been,” I said, staring back at him. It was true, I had both an X and a Y chromosome.

“Well you’re acting like a pansy.”

“I’m not a flower.”

“Then shut up and have a damn drink with the man you’ve been crushing on since you hit puberty.”

“I have work to do,” I said, hanging up. “And no one says ‘crushing’ after the age of twelve,” I muttered to myself.

“I have returned!” Duo declared, kicking the door open as he walked in laden with booze.

I didn’t know what to say, so I just stared at him.

“Quit being a creep,” Duo said, dumping everything on the desk.

“Careful!” I said, pulling my laptop away from his mess. “And where did you buy all this in the middle of the night?”

“Twenty-four hour convenience store next door,” Duo said, opening a can and taking a long drink.

“Oh,” I said, turning to face my laptop.

“No, enough with the damn laptop,” Duo said, slamming it shut.

“What the hell, Maxwell?!” I snapped, yanking my fingers away before they got crushed.

“Oh, did I make you mad?” Duo asked, grinning at me in a way that made me very uncomfortable.

“Yes,” I ground out. “Yes, you did.”

“Good, now shut up and have a damn drink,” he said, shoving a can into my hand.

I didn’t know how to react.

That was Duo Maxwell, always confusing me and keeping me on my toes. It was probably what attracted me to him, but it also infuriated me.

“This is an expens-”

“Drink,” Duo said, fingers wrapping around mine as he pressed the can more firmly into my hand.

I froze.

Duo smirked.

I yanked my hand away, the unopened can clattering to the floor.

“You need to learn to relax,” Duo said, picking it up and setting it on the desk.

“Why are you doing this?” I said, turning my back to him.

“Doing what?” Duo asked with a laugh. “Making you have fun?”

“This isn’t fun,” I said quietly.

“You haven’t even had anything to drink yet.”

“I have work to do.”

“Oh my god, you are such a nerd, I can’t even take it,” Duo said, going to sit on his bed. “Fine, do your work.”

I was so uncomfortable. I was also annoyed. I didn’t want to give into Duo. I turned around to face him, ready to be angry again.

He had the saddest look on his face as he sat on the bed, staring into his drink.

I chewed on my bottom lip. I reached over, grabbing an unopened can and cracking it open. “Cheers,” I grumbled, holding it up towards him.

Duo turned his grin back on, holding his own can towards me. “Cheers.”

We drank and ate the leftover snacks from the morning. Duo put some music on and sang along.

“You don’t look drunk at all,” Duo complained.

“I have a high metabolism.”

“Yeah, but the whole point of this was to see you drunk.”

I raised an eyebrow at him, but I could feel my cheeks flushing.

“You never relax around me,” Duo said. “I just want you to relax.”

“We have work tomorrow…”

“Can you give the goody two-shoes bit a rest already?”

“One of us has to be responsible.”

“Fine, then I’ll be the responsible one.”

I snorted.

“I can be responsible,” Duo said, waving his beer at me.

“Sure you can.”

“You used to trust me with your life.”

My breath caught in my throat.

Duo was suddenly much closer, staring into my eyes from only a foot away. “Quatre was right, ya know?” he finally said.

“A-about what?” I stammered.

“Shit, you’re really cute when you’re nervous,” Duo said. “Anyway, I wish the five of us were closer.”

I was going to die of embarrassment. What grown man wanted to be called ‘cute’? I ripped myself from his gaze and downed the rest of my drink.

“That’s the spirit!” Duo said cheerfully, bouncing up to get me another one.

I took it, not meeting his eyes.

“Hey, Heero?” Duo said, still looming over me.

“What?” I mumbled.

Duo flicked me in the forehead, and I looked up at him in annoyance. “I know my overwhelming sexiness is distracting, but you should try actually making eye contact every once and a while.”

“I don’t have to look at you,” I said, looking away again.

“Oh?” Duo said, catching my cheek in his hand and tilting my face up.

I caught his wrist, ready to break it.

Duo let his arm go slack, and I realized what I’d been about to do.

“Shit,” I muttered, letting go. Coming on this assignment had been a horrible idea, and I just wanted to go home.

“Looks like you’ve still got some reflexes,” Duo said, sitting on the desk and staring down at me.

“I think I’ll go to bed,” I said, standing up.

“Do you actually like me, or is that some kind of delusion of Quatre’s?”

I froze.

Duo grinned victoriously, like that had been his plan all along.

I tried to speak, but nothing came out.

“It’s so weird to watch you go from machine to human,” Duo said, tipping his can back to finish it off. “If you told me all those years ago that Heero Yuy was a shy boy with a stuttering problem…”

“Stop being cruel,” I finally said, stalking off to the bathroom.

“How am I being cruel?” Duo asked with a snort, hopping down from the desk. He was suddenly standing between me and the bathroom door. “I was thinking about being quite the opposite, actually.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked, even though I knew I shouldn’t.

Duo was backing me into the wall. “I thought I’d throw you a bone.”

I did not like this at all.

“You ever been kissed, Heero?”

Oh, no, no, no, I did not like this. I was being played with, and it twisted in my gut like a knife.

“Well?”

“Yes,” I said, longing to push Duo away. He was so close now, his arm draped lazily over my head as he leaned in.

“Shit, really?” he asked, his grin widening.

“Y-yeah…” I stuttered, looking away from those blue eyes.

“Too bad,” he murmured, his breath ghosting against my mouth.

“Stop,” I said, glad that my voice came out steady. I knew he was just teasing me, but it made me feel anxious and uncomfortable.

“Stop what?”

“You’re being cruel,” I reasserted.

“Come on, Heero, everyone knows I’m a nice guy,” he said, leaning into my line of vision.

I took a deep breath and pushed him aside. “No, actually, you’re not.”

“Oh ho, there’s the old Heero.”

“There’s not an ‘old Heero’ and a ‘new Heero’, there’s just me,” I informed him.

“You’ve tried so hard to run away from the past,” Duo said, suddenly yanking me close. One arm settled around my waist, while his free hand caught my chin. “Guess what, Heero? You’re just as shitty as the rest of us.”

“You’re drunk,” I said, squirming around but not making a significant effort to escape. It felt good to be touched by Duo, and I was a complete idiot.

“I probably am,” Duo agreed. “That doesn’t change anything. Your hands are just as dirty as mine, so stop prancing around all high and mighty, getting the shakes when someone puts a damn gun in your hand. You’re not better than me, Heero. You’ll drop a man to save lives, just the same as me.”

Now I was starting to feel annoyed. “I never said I was better than anyone. It’s not my fault if you take the way I live my life as a censure on the way you live yours.”

“Who talks like that?” Duo complained, suddenly letting me go and going over to flop on his bed. “God, and I was thinking of giving you a pity fuck.”

I was mortified.

“Ugh, what is wrong with me?” Duo groaned into his pillow. “I’m so desperate, I’d do anyone.”

“I’m standing right here,” I said quietly.

“Perfectly aware.”

I didn’t know what I was feeling, but my stomach hurt and I just wanted to not be there anymore.

“Shit, I’m sorry,” Duo said, his eyes suddenly staring into mine. “I didn’t mean… Just forget everything I’ve said and done in the last hour, okay?”

I turned my head to the side.

“Heeeeero, come on,” Duo protested. “I know I was being a dick, okay? Duo Maxwell, the ESUN’s biggest dick. Well… yeah, okay, well yes, it’s big, but…”

“Please just leave me alone.”

“I don’t want you to be mad.”

“I’m not mad.”

“You clearly are.”

“I’m not.”

“You’re something.”

“I’m f-fine.”

“You look like a wounded baby animal or something, you are clearly not fine.”

I paused at that, giving Duo the look that statement deserved.

He grinned.

“I’ll forget everything you said.”

Duo looked pleased, then frowned. “No, you won’t. You never let me live anything down.”

“Is there anything I can possibly say right now to make you leave me alone?”

“You could forgive me for being an asshole.”

“I forgive you for being an asshole.”

“You’re just saying that, you don’t actually mean it.”

I wanted to scream. I turned, pulled up the covers of my bed, and hid under them instead.

Duo was quiet, and I thought maybe it was finally over. He shuffled around the room for a bit before turning off the lights. Then he sat on my bed, the mattress dipping down towards him.

I did not emerge from my cocoon.

“I’m sorry for saying shitty things,” Duo said quietly. “You just… you’re so different now and I don’t know how to deal with you. You’re so goddamn weird, and then this morning you were kinda vulnerable, and I find it all very confusing.”

I pushed the covers out of my face, staring at Duo in the dark. He was a blur, because I wasn’t wearing my glasses and my night vision was terrible. “What exactly do you find confusing?”

“You in general.”

“Oh, I see.”

“No, no, but it’s like… you used to be quiet before, but it was… You were quiet because you didn’t need to say anything. But now I feel like you’re quiet around me because you don’t know what to say? And you’re nervous? And that’s weird, Heero, it’s fucking weird.”

“I’m so sorry for being weird.”

“Apology accepted,” Duo said. “So start acting normal.”

“Good night,” I said, pulling the blankets back over my head.

“No, hey, wait,” Duo protested, grabbing the blankets and peeling them back.

“Duo, it’s been a long day and I want to go to sleep.”

“Yes, but...”

He was staring at me with big, puppy dog eyes that even my blind self could read clearly in the dark.

I didn’t know what he wanted from me. “What?” I finally asked.

“I… I don’t know. Good night, Heero.”

“Good night, Duo.”

His weight disappeared from the mattress.

I fell into an uneasy sleep.

In the morning, Duo just prattled on like usual.

It was a relief to get back to the lab and continue my line of investigation from the previous day.

It was, however, not a relief to realize that my line of reasoning had been correct.

Mobile Suit Gundam NT Narrative Fathom Event Review

Last Tuesday night I saw the anime film Mobile Suit Gundam NT Narrative IN A MOVIE THEATER OH SNAP! It was in theaters for one night only, at 7:00 PM Eastern dubbed in English and no other times and screenings were available UGH! But since I am a HUGE Gundam nut I had to see this. So this will be my review of the screening event itself and everything that is shown prior to the movie starting. I will review the movie in a seperate post. There will be very slight spoilers, even with me just talking about the pre-screening goodies but I will keep things as light as possible.

FREE advice. If you ever attend one of these Fathom Event screenings do yourself a favor, carry a book bag or a bag of sorts and bring some rubber bands because much like comic book conventions they love to give you FREE posters and expect you to magically get them home in perfect condition. Well I came prepared and got a FREE two sided poster! One side was a poster of upcoming Gundam figures - the Gundam Unicorn, the Gundam Wing 01 (No giant fairy wings SUCK IT ENDLESS WALTZ lol) and the original Gundam. The other side had Gunpla stuff. Later when I got home I hung up the poster featuring the side that did not have Gunpla stuff. ROFL more power to people who mess with that stuff but I'm not building a Gundam ever again! I mean I still have Krazy Glue nightmares from messing with models back in the day. Now that's a young person's game but my FREE advice is that you should always make your Gunpla models based on TEEEEEEEEEEEEAM MARVEL and TEEEEEEEEEEEEAM CAPCOM characters and then you're sure to win prizes in Gunpla contests yup yup! #ImAnthonyAndImNotJustAnAnnoyingGundamFanboyImAlsoThatWayAboutMarvelAndCapcomTooHaveWeMet :P

Before the movie or even the previews began we were treated to images on the screen that detailed the major events in Gundam's Universal Century timeline! So they covered the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta, Double Zeta, Char's Counterattack, Unicorn and even the plot of this movie, Mobile Suit Gundam NT Narrative! They did leave off all of the other OVA and spin off series since. BTW, in the movie itself they do mention Colony Drops on Planet Earth, yes DropS as in plural. Now we are always hearing about the Colony Drop on Australia AKA Operation British. It even plays a huge part in Mobile Suit Gundam NT Narrative. However we rarely if ever hear about the second drop in Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory. So this might be the first time it's actually been referenced. Well, I did watch the dub but if this is an addition to the dub and not in the original Japanese then it's a cool addition. With all that, it's too bad that Stardust Memory was not shown in the footage of the Universal Century timeline, since to me it's one of the most important Universal Century OVA series. Cool that it was acknowledged in a small way though.

Onto previews! Most of these were for other Fathom Event special screenings. So if you want to see the black and white flick To Kill a Mockingbird on the big screen well here you go! Hey I'll even go with you! Ooops no wait sorry I'm busy that day. What day was it again? :P Ha well seriously we did get one anime trailer for Fate/stay Night Heaven's Feel 2 which will screen on March 15th! I still don't have a ticket for that yet but will try to get one next paycheck. Like the first one it will screen in Japanese with subtitles hooray! MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM NT NARRATIVE WHY CAN'T YOU DO THAT? ROFL!

So people who prefer to watch anime dubbed and refuse to read subtitles, you thought you were going to attend this screening without having to read? HA HA HA HA HA YOU GOT OWNED HOOOOOOOOOOORD!!!! Well not really but kinda ha ha! Prior to the film there's a few mini interviews with the team who created this anime movie. Even though I hate dubs in almost any and all formats, it's strange to invite people to a dub screening and have them read subtitles at any point in time. Honestly all you need is an ADR director to read out a translation of what the people being interviewed are saying. If it's important for us to hear the staff's voices, then you let the audio play out before you speak over them. This sort of thing is done all the time. Well it's not a huge deal that it wasn't done, but it does make for an odd presentation. I mean I'm sure this is a DVD extra and no one went to any great lengths so it's somewhat understandable.

So the staffers behind the show said that the NT in Gundam Narative stood for either 'Newtype' or 'Narrative.' This movie is supposed to start a new narrative and a new series for Gundam. Hmm I'm not sure it actually accomplishes that, but I'll go into that when I review the film.

And just when the people who hate reading subtitles were about to riot, WABAM! English! We got mini interviews with the English dub actors. Griffin Puatu who plays the lead Jona Basta, and Brianna Knickerbocker who plays Rita Bernal. Brianna is cute BOING OING OING OING OING! As for Griffin, he spoke about how his character wears lots of heavy clothing so he would walk around his house wearing layers of clothes just to get in the mindset of the character ha ha!

Overall this was a fun way to experience a Gundam movie IN A MOVIE THEATER WORD so I give the event itself 4 Viewtiful Joes from the Capcom video game Viewitiful Joe out of 5! I will review the movie itself next week. Well yeah sure I'm going to write a lot because I SAW GUNDAM IN A MOVIE THEATER!!!! IN THE U.S!.!!! IN MY HOME STATE!!!!!!! Man I remember having Gundam VHS tapes in straight up Japanese with no subtitles and I just watched them to see robots fight. Mankind's come a long way. NEWTYPES ARRIVING IN THE REAL WORLD IN 6 MONTHS PROLLY yup yup! ~_^ - Anthony
