[He'd give her a call but that might not be a good idea when you're still in school. So instead he shoots a text Rhyme's way.]

[likearhino]

[

Beat isn't great at these kind of things, so instead of some neatly wrapped package, Rhyme will find these two macarons sitting inside a sandwich bag inside her mailbox. A hastily scribbled note attached to it reads:

Rhyme

You like sweets, right? Thought you might like these. Tell me if they're any good. I'll drop by your school to get you later, aight? -Beat]

MAILBOX;

[partnered]

[ yeah, neku just leaves the macaron stuffed in her mailbox inside a plastic bag -- but at least he's learned to leave a little note attached, so she doesn't think some random weirdo is leaving her sweets! (or, perhaps more importantly, so beat doesn't think some random weirdo is leaving his little sister sweets.)

hey rhyme
apparently we're supposed to give things things to people
so
here you go i guess
- neku ]

re: text~

[adageprincess]

I got the macarons, thanks! I'll eat them during my break.^_^

You don't have to pick me up everyday, you know. We're not in the Game anymore. It's safe here.=)

re: text

[adageprincess]

Hi Neku! I got the macaron, thanks.^_^
I got some to give too. I'll leave one in your mailbox later.=)

How are you?

TEXT; 1/3

[partnered]

i mean you can if you want to i guess
i don't care either way

[partnered]

[ ... wait, did that come out mean... ]

not that it's not a nice gesture and stuff
i mean i appreciate it and all

3/4 j/k

[partnered]

[ . . . ]

[partnered]

[ THIS IS AWKWARD HE'LL JUST MOVE RIGHT ON PAST IT ]

text

[likearhino]

text

[adageprincess]

I know. But my classmates are getting the wrong idea about us.

text

[likearhino]

wat kinda idea u talkin abt?

[You... might have to spell it out for him.]

[adageprincess]

[Oh Neku. If Rhyme could laugh through text...]

Yes, I want to. That's what friends do, right?
I'll leave one in your mailbox on my way home.=)

I'm doing OK. I think I've gotten used to this place. I miss Shibuya, but it's gotten easier with you and Shiki here.^_^

text [1/2]

[adageprincess]

[She half-expected him not to understand. After all, the idea probably never even occurred to him. Doesn't stop Rhyme from blushing though.]

They think we're together.

text [2/2]

[adageprincess]

[Wait. That might not work either.]

Like boyfriend-girlfriend.^_^;;

text

[likearhino]

[He's about to reply to the first message when the second one comes in.

And then he remembers that horrible trick the Landlord had played on him two months earlier. What was it again? Siscon? Yeaaaah, hitting to close to that territory now.

If fact he almost drops his phone after reading that.]

tELL DEM IT AINT TRUE!!

text

[adageprincess]

I did!
But they asked me why you pick me up everyday and I didn't know what else to tell them.
They won't believe me when I said we're just friends.

text

[likearhino]

u want me 2 tell dem off

text

[adageprincess]

No, Beat, don't!
They're not really being mean. Just curious.

[partnered]

well if you want to i'm not gonna stop you
thanks in advance

and glad we're helping out a little i guess
it's a little bit easier to not be stuck here alone
and a group of heads are better for getting out of this than just one

[adageprincess]

[Rhyme blinks at the text, and then reads it again. Wow.]

I'm glad you think so, Neku!^_^
The four of us will definitely get out of here!

You've changed. I'm glad about that too.

1/2

[partnered]

yeah
definitely
we got through way worse stuff than the suburbs
so i'm pretty sure we got this

[partnered]

[ ... the next part makes him pause a little, just because... yeah. sometimes he forgets just how much he's changed, how far he's come since that first week in the game, and...

it's still a little surprising, even to him. ]

thanks

[adageprincess]

[It's even more surprising to Rhyme, when Neku doesn't reply with anything else to be her comment but a thanks. She smiles and nods though, as if he's actually there.]

You're welcome. Let's do our best!^_^

[partnered]

right
let's show this landlord guy he messed with the wrong kids from shibuya

[adageprincess]

[That earns a laugh.]

Yeah!
