Someone that looks just like this person in front of him, his best friend, helps him move along and smiles as he speaks. "As the SS approaches, Trickstar’s schedule has been packed full of stuff like lessons and jobs…
I might not have any time to do things like go swimming at the beach or visit the summer festival this year at all.
This Starmine, it’s probably going to be a fireworks festival like its name suggests.
Even if we’re only here for a job, I’m still glad that I’ll get to experience a summer-like feeling ♪"
Ritsu then replies lazily. "A fireworks festival just means there’s going to be a crowd, which is troublesome~ Let’s just roll around in an air-conditioned room~
Become useless with me, Maa-kun… ♪"
He snaps out of it and blinks at the other and then tilts his head curious about the name coming up again...]
...Maakun?
no subject
"Maa-kun, you're unexpectedly suited to taking care of people, I think. On top of the heavy labor, there's all the interpersonal stress." The air is oppressively warm, maybe even warmer than it is right now, and it's the guy whose hand he's holding that's talking to him.
"You like that kind of thing, don't you... But in the end, Maa-kun shines the brightest when you're being an idol. Being a nurse suits you the next most, after that."
And Mao answers, fondly even if he's exasperated, "Yeah, I've gotten those skills from taking care of you. Nursing, huh? That's a possible job, too. But for now, I want to stay an idol.
But if I'd failed to make it as an idol, I wonder what kind of life I'd be living now?"
Even though it wasn't in the exchange he heard, there's a name in his mind now and it can only belong to the face in front of him when he shakes his head and returns to the beach he's standing on. ]
Ricchan?
no subject
...We were best friends?
[He pauses and then tilts his head.]
But why were we fighting you...and "Trickstar" in that Duel thing?
Maa-kun...
no subject
[ Mao can't picture the house or the neighborhood, nothing else associated with the memory, but he knows what he's saying is true even though until today he's never seen Ritsu before.
He also can't make sense of the rest of what Ritsu's saying. The second part makes him shake his head. ]
I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not a trickster and I don't like to fight. I was on the student council.
[ Even if it doesn't make sense, though, he still doesn't let go of Ritsu's hand. He even tugs a little. ]
C'mon, let's get you out of the sun.
no subject
[That sounds so correct that it's painful...he can't remember what the houses look like but he can remember Mao helping him a lot. That is so strange he never even attempted to make friends until he got the mysterious app.
He frowns and looks a little frustrated.]
I remember saying the name...Maakun...and Trickstar though.
[The tug feels familiar and he can't help but to smile a little bit...it was kind of nice and so familiar.]
Is Maakun going to take care of me?
no subject
I don't know about Trickstar... it sounds like an idol group, though. Was it the one you were in?
[ He sees the way Ritsu smiling and wow, that feels familiar too. Something in him feels reluctant, like this is a road he shouldn't go down, but mostly it feels like putting on an old jacket or hearing an old favorite song. ]
I'll help you out right now but don't get used to it. Are you able to walk to the boardwalk?
no subject
It does...no, it wasn't my groups for sure.
[Since they were fighting the group...or something? Details are still fuzzy for that memory.
This was really odd...but also something comforting and it would be a lie if Ritsu said he didn't like it.]
Mn, sure. Um...not sure? It's really hot.
no subject
I'm sure it'll make sense eventually, you can't force these things.
[ At least he doesn't think you can. He likes his life, so he hasn't really tried.
Mao shakes his head but he can't just leave Ritsu out here to cook, especially not knowing what they know now. ]
Are you gonna try or do you just want me to carry you or something?
[ This is not a serious suggestion but as soon as Mao says it, he can tell it was the wrong thing to suggest. He's going to end up carrying this guy, isn't he? ]
no subject
Yeah, but maybe we can remember other things too...
[Ritsu wasn't one to intrude on people's business but lately these new memories are enough to make him do more snooping.
The offer to be carried gets him to perk up a little and he finds himself reaching out for the other...for some reason this feels so familiar too.]
no subject
[ And there it is. Mao takes a second to gather up his castle building toys and the bucket he had them in, then takes Ritsu's hand to help him up before turning around. How does this happen? Giving Anya piggyback rides makes sense but even if his memory is telling him how he and this guy know each other, it still feels weird. It beats the alternative, though. ]
no subject
[He teases the other.]
Me? Hmm...I remember a few things like Secchan being a nickname for Sena. Plus the stuff with 'trickstar'. Not a lot about me...besides I was an idol?
[Which was weird enough to remember honestly.
When Mao helps him up he isn't completely surprised the other is willing to give him a piggyback ride. So more than willing himself he drapes himself over Mao's back.]
Maakun must be strong.
no subject
[ Maybe if it was a carbon copy of this one except his dad hadn't died and he had a couple more friends, but in general Mao's not unhappy. He sighs a little when Ritsu climbs on. This isn't normally a thing he'd offer another guy but he did tell Anya he wanted more hugs and this is kind of like a hug, right?
As far as the quality of it, the jury is out. ]
I guess? We're not going very far and this is faster than you walking by yourself.
[ And off they go, Mao placing his feet carefully to avoid dumping them both in the sand. ]
no subject
[Well at least this means he did have another friend...which seems to have been close. A hug? Yeah, they could go with that. The warmth from the other is familiar and he settles quickly, with a soft yawn.]
Yeah, Maakun is too kind~!
no subject
[ Sure, another friend is great, but nothing else about his 'other' life seems to have been the same. What else could be different? He doesn't really want to think about it. ]
You should remember this, though, and take better care of yourself! Not everybody's going to be willing to just pick you up, you know.
no subject
[It was a theory?]
But you are Maakun~!
no subject
[ Mao's not sure which he prefers. They're at the stairs, so he stops and takes a deep breath to brace himself before starting up. ]
Yeah but you think I'm always going to be there to do it? We just met!
[ Kind of. In this life. ]
no subject
[Ritsu didn't expect him to carry him up the stairs but he holds on tight to help.]
Hm...maybe? I mean we seem to both remember something?
no subject
[ That was a lot to say while also climbing stairs so he takes a minute and looks for somewhere to sit in the shade before replying to the rest. ]
You might hate me when you get to know me. Plan better.
no subject
[Ritsu stretches a little and looks around seeing some good food places too.]
...Why would I?
no subject
[ Shade first, Ritsu! Priorities!! It does happen that there's a table with an umbrella near a food stand, though, so Mao aims for it. It feels faster to just keep going than to get Ritsu down and make him walk. ]
Why wouldn't you? All you know about me is I helped build a sand castle and kept you from getting sunstroke.
no subject
[Shade is good. Ritsu is glad the other is bringing him to the shade and the table looks really nice.]
So that means I should hate you?
no subject
[ He stops by the table and does roll his shoulders a little. Ride's over. ]
Not should, it's not like I want you to. Just saying you might.
no subject
[Ritsu gets off with another stretch.]
Don't just assume I will hate you.
no subject
[ Mao stretches a little too, that's his workout for the day... which means he can probably have whatever he wants up here. ]
I'm not! You're just not listening. I'm gonna go get us water, you want anything else?
no subject
[Snacks are good, he might be looking around too.]
Hmmm, who says I'm not? Ice cream?
