The young Chikao sat upon a branch of a cherry blossom tree like any other day. It was another reason students called him a sloth, but it provided a lot of benefits. For starters, he always found peace and quiet amongst the leaves, and there was always the right amount of sunlight and shade that allowed a relaxing feeling during the hot summer weeks. Yet, Chikao was also a clever person who found that the trees of Mahoutokoro were also best for two other things: overhearing rumors, and ambushing unsuspecting students. He already heard a particular rumor going by from a few students, and it was enticing nonetheless to know that it involved two of his close friends. Well, a close friend and a rival to put it in better perspective. Chikao sat upright with his legs crossed, waiting for his moment to strike, taking notice that the individual he was waiting on was a bit late more than usual. This was actually a bit expected based on the patterns Chikao would notice in past routines students would make. He seemed lazy, he seemed like he never got anything done, but he was always taking notes of the minor details that would allow him to succeed in all sorts of activities.
Eventually, his target came into view. Chikao jumped from the high branch to a much lower one that was closer to the ground. He latched his legs onto the bottom branch and swung his body forward to be hanging upside down with his arms outward. Luckily not too many students were passing by as classes were beginning to end. Even though Chikao was on this low-hanging branch, he was most likely still slightly hidden by the numerous leaves that bloomed during the hot summer days. His target eventually walked right underneath him, and with that Chikao broke the seal of concealment, "Psssstttt! Ayraan! Up here!" Chikao whispered in a rather joyful and silly way. The world was upside down, and Aryaan appeared as if he and the ground are on the ceiling to Chikao. In hopes of grabbing his friend's attention, Chikao reached out both his hands, "Grab on! I'll pull you up, we need to talk... in private!" He gave a chuckle at that last comment. If something was private and it involved Chikao and Aryaan, then it could only mean mischief and chaos were about to run amock the school.

Roleplaying as Aryaan Shamsi of Mahoutokoro
English | Japanese | Hindi
@Hunter Argentum as Chikao NarumiFor all that his latest spat with Shimizu-kun was a wake-up call for Aryaan really needed to get his ass in gear if he wanted to put up a good showing in the Hexwizard tournament. And it forced the normally jovial boy into some solitude, to watch people, and to think.
Aryaan never liked thinking. He'd think and think himself in circles, and never quite get anywhere. Much better to just take action, and deal with the cards as they were dealt. Well, that plan was now out of the window.
His original plan had been to just thoughtlessly open invites to the team -- anyone who was chill and wanted to be part of the Mahou team, could join. Shimizu-kun showed him that that would not work. The teammates needed to know each other to work together. The mirror through which they perceived the world could not be too far apart, or the team would break apart under the strain of unequal expectations.
"GAH! What a pain." The Indian boy burst out, finally. Punching the trunk of a nearby tree. "What a stupid. Stupid stupid STUPID-"
"Psssstttt! Ayraan! Up here!"
Aryaan stopped comically mid-punch, looking around for the familiar voice. And of course, Chikao was there, hanging upside down off a branch of a tree like it was the most normal thing in the world. Well, it wasn't but it sure looked fun as hell. And fun and hell were basically just the thing he needed to stop overthinking about all this.
"Yo Chikao!" The Indian boy said brightly, pushing back his thoughts of the impending tournament. "Did you wanna.... hang out" He chuckled at his own stupid joke.
"Grab on! I'll pull you up, we need to talk... in private!"
Obligingly, Aryaan freely offered his hand to Chikao so that the other boy could pull him up onto the tree. Sweet snitches, he'd forgotten just how physically strong Chikao was.
A couple of seconds of awkwardly being lifted onto the tree, before he turned to his Quidditch teammate. "Sup?"
The curtains fell. And the silence was deafening

Chikao lifted his friend best he could. A bit of awkwardness since they were still kids, but despite his pureblood, Chikao had the strength of a graphorn. Upon placing Aryaan on the branch beside him, Chikao chuckled and snickered like a 5-year-old about to explode from having their first magical instance, "You look like you need some cheering up. I got just the thing," Chikao reached into his robes and removed a glass vial containing a potion. It had a menacing green hue that resembled radioactivity or toxic behavior, and Chikao took off the stopper to allow a green smoke to emerge from it.
He placed the stopper back on the vial, and chuckled even more, "Kekekeke, Let me guess, being our new champion is stressing you out, right? Congrats by the way, but seriously what a big responsibility. Main reason I didn't put my name in." Chikao smiled for his friend Aryaan, reflecting back on the ball and the goblet. Chikao was actually too busy with his own affairs to attend the ball, but even if he had he wouldn't have placed his name in the goblet. Just sitting back, relaxing, and watching the show was more of his style. Only get involved when needed. He looked over towards Aryaan, worried a bit for his friend.
Yet, their meeting today was to relax and enjoy some fun, "Probably took me 50 tries, but this my good friend is a Gregory's Unctuous Unction." In reality, it only took Chikao one try to craft the potion, as lazy and carefree as he was he still had just as big of a brain as he did when he wore blue robes. He of course never flaunted such a gift and preferred it if people didn't know. He of course only showed his real knowledge to annoy students or even faculty. "I'm assuming some students are getting on your nerves, right? Okay, okay, so here's my plan. In about 15 minutes, Akira should be coming down this route to avoid the crowds that occur inside. Once he gets close enough to the tree, I'll jump on him and pin him to the ground, then you'll force this potion down his gullet!" Chikao gave out a very cheeky and mischievous laugh, he might as well earn the nickname Monkey King for any Chinese transfer student to understand how clever and devious he was.
He lifted his hand in front of Aryaan, to stop him from making a sound or asking about something, "Ah, in case you don't remember, this potion will force the drinker to think that whoever gave them the potion is their best friend. Imagine it! Akira, acting like he's your best friend willing to do any friendly favors for ya. Hell, it might actually force him to act all relaxed and such," Chikao gave out a quiet laugh. All he could do was laugh at the thought of what was bound to occur. However, behind that slight laughter was a slight stab of sadness. Chikao knew if he saw Akira acting like an old friend to him or Aryaan, it would be very nostalgic and hurtful to know it was forced. His laugh died down, and his tone got slightly more serious. Yet, he still gave a bright smile to Aryaan, "I know you and Akira don't get along, but I promise you he's a great guy once you get to know him. He hates my guts, you hate his guts, I love punching guts, and we're all gonna be having a big laugh after this prank." Chikao handed Aryaan the potion, "Keep hold of the snitch bud," a little note to be careful not to drop it and let the potion break while they hang from the tree.
"Oh, and don't worry, were not alone. I got another person to help lure Akira in as bait." Chikao jumped down from the tree and looked around for the main model himself. His eyes locked on, and he swung his arms and yelled, "Hiro! Over here! Quick! We got 10-minutes till Akira shows up, I'll inform you of what's going on." Chikao waved toward Hiro as he saw him approaching. After showing the location, Chikao climbed back up the tree and would inform Hiro of the plan once he arrived beneath the tree as well.

────────────────────── ㅤ
ㅤ──────────────────────| ── | Hiro couldn't help but ponder. SNACBASH was their close-knit group of friends. They'd been together for a long time and cared about eachother. Even if they didn't spend time together 24/7, Hiro believed they all still had strong feelings for eachother, due to the bond they had made over the years. Sure, they might argue, fight or play tricks and pranks on eachother sometimes. But that was to be expected from a group of boys. It didn't break their friendship. Or at least it wasn't supposed to and yet lately, something was going on between Akira and Aryaan. Ever since Aryaan had claimed the title of Hexwizard champion. Well, technically he'd been given the honor by Hiro's roommate, which was a bit problematic. Hiro was the moodmaker of their group and always tried to calm things down between everyone. The boy didn't like to see his close friends fighting amongst themselves. And yet sometimes even he couldn't do much. They were all relatively stubborn when it came to certain things and each had their own stories. A sigh escaped his lips as he thought about the latest incident. Hiro had heard the rumors going around but they weren't entirely true. He knew the truth about the latest thing that was currently circulating about right now. The reason being that he'd been there. Hiro had been inside one of the bathroom stalls at the time. And when Aryaan and Akira had entered, he hadn't known they were there. Not until the two had started to talk. What was it about people and bathrooms? They tended to spill their deepest secrets in those spaces. Why not go outside into some secluded area where you could literally see if anyone was nearby and within vision or hearing range? Bathrooms were problematic as you couldn't check every stall to ensure no one was inside. Why not? Because it would be an invasion of privacy and Japanese students were all about honor and privacy, at least that was what they were being taught at any rate. The conversation had started off alright between the two Mahoutokoro students. But it had quickly turned into a heated and emotional encounter. Hiro hadn't really known what to say at the time and it had seemed as if the two had needed to talk about things on their own. So he hadn't interfered at the time. However, now Hiro was feeling conflicted as to what to do. He couldn't just leave things the way they were, or SNACBASH would eventually be in trouble. Despite his tendency to never truly let anyone into his life, SNACBASH had been an exception. They were the only ones he felt he could count on, as he'd known them for the longest time. Lately he'd gotten closer to Akira. However, Hiro still couldn't persuade him to not avoid Aryaan and make amends with Chikao. Yes, Chikao was another one. The boy had told him about their past history together and how they'd had a falling out. That was another thing Hiro intended on fixing one of these days somehow. He wasn't entirely sure how he was going to do this but he would eventually find a way to repair their bonds. It had been around this time that Chikao had contacted him and spoken about his plan. He'd said there was a chance they could make Akira and Aryaan end their feud, so that they wouldn't try to avoid and provoke eachother all the time. That being said, Chikao said he needed to bring Akira with him to a certain location. Hiro had contacted his friend and was supposed to see him. He'd said the two of them should meet up and do some exercise together. After all, Akira was a duelist and although many didn't think too much about stretching and being in shape for such things, it was important. Keeping your body limber could help with your evasion during matches. So, Hiro had suggested the two stretch and exercise together! After all, Hiro needed to stretch for quidditch too. It was May and Hiro was sporting blond hair this time, although for the summer games he was thinking of dying his hair two tones to become a sensation for all of his fans. Perhaps black and white would look good on him. Hiro was drawn from his thoughts when Chikao called out to him and waved his hands at him from afar. "Mm. I know!" He called back and headed towards Chikao. When he reached his friend, Hiro watched as Chikao climbed back up the tree and told him their plan. The blond blinked and thought about it. It might work for a time but when the effects wore off, how would Akira react? Well, perhaps he'd be a bit more lenient towards Aryaan. Maybe things would get a little better once he thought about things. One could only hope. At the very least, he'd have some good memories of being around Aryaan, if all went well, which might be all he needed to loosen up a little bit. Normally, Hiro wouldn't appreciate giving a potion to someone who didn't want to drink it. But this was a tricky situation to be in. Akira was very stubborn, much like Aryaan. The two always were at it all the time. Which meant it was really hard for them to get along because of their egos. Maybe this was just the kick their relationship needed to get past the initial hurdle. If they tried to administer the potion a second time, Hiro wouldn't go along with it though. After all, doing it one time was acceptable for various reasons. Hell, even he could understand the point of it. But a second time was different. If they wanted to do it a second time, Hiro wouldn't go along with it, as he felt it would be unfair. Even if he couldn't stop them from doing it, he'd at least tell Akira ahead of time. Or else, he feared Akira might give him the cold shoulder, which was something he really didn't want to have happen. Akira was very stubborn when it came to things. But that was one of the things he liked about him. As for the current 'plan' Chikao had cooked up, Hiro hoped it would all turn out well in the end. Back in the past, although Aryaan and Akira had never been friends, they had at least been relatively civil towards eachother. Something Hiro had been working on for awhile on his own. Even back then he'd tried to get them to become friends. Or at least who didn't mind the presence of the other. Hiro had thought he'd gotten close to it once but it had fallen apart. Still, he'd kept working tirelessly at it. Until the Hexwizard announcement had come. That was when everything had gone to crap and things had changed, for the worst. No more being civil to eachother, now it was veiled words of biting emotion or sarcastic things being tossed about. This feud had been going on with them for awhile, which made him a little sad, as he couldn't do anything. Until now. Chikao's idea was something that had the potential to work and possibly convince Akira to reconsider. Sometimes all it took was a reminder of how good things used to be to get someone to open up a bit more. And Hiro would be his usual self and keep trying to draw everyone back together again. The boy lounged beneath the tree at the base of the trunk as he waited for Akira to show up. Hiro knew Akira would forgive him for calling him out to get 'attacked' because he had faith in all the members of SNACBASH. And hopefully when the potion's effects wore off, Akira might consider being at least more civil towards Aryaan. He knew it took time to mend from mental trauma. In some cases, you never got better. But there were many who had overcome them, with time. So, Akira didn't have to like Aryaan after this. However, a step in the right direction would inspire some hope for them. Secretly, Hiro's second greatest wish had to do with SNACBASH, something he'd never told anyone before. It was to have SNACBASH return to how it used to be, where everyone was happy and got along with eachother. Even if they argued or fought, it wasn't anything that would ruin their friendships together. Hiro wanted those days back. It always made him sad to see them fight with eachother, especially when it came to Akira. And yet, Hiro didn't know what to do. It was all up to them in the end. ────────────────────── ㅤ ㅤ──────────────────────

Stretching and exercising was not how Akira Shimizu preferred to spend his time. Sure, he understood the necessity of keeping the vessel for which his brains, talents, and soul presided in good shape, but any sort of physical exertion and unnecessary comfort only detracted from the energy to focus on his studies. But, if Hiro and his dueling coach felt that they were important, maybe he ought to listen to them. He had been relying solely on the strength of his magic and his casting abilities for too long; the next step of becoming a greater duelist was to focus on his physical composition.
The hordes were released into the crowded corridors after class, and Akira avoided the senseless stampede by taking the nearest exit into the grounds. He would take a detour outside, if he needed to. There was no point in getting tossed about like seaweed in a raging storm amongst the common masses. Finally, as he opened the door to the grounds, clean air that hadn't cycled through the lungs of countless other children greeted him in a light breeze.
It didn't take very long for him to spot Hiro Bakugo in his new, blond hair next to a tall tree. "Good afternoon, Bakugo," he greeted his friend with a nod as he approached. "What is it that we're doing today? Calisthenics? Am I wearing the appropriate clothing for this, or do I need to change?" he asked, indicating towards his navy uniform. On second thought, he probably should've changed; who knew what kinds of uncouth exercises Bakugo would succumb his body to today. Hopefully, they would not spray dirt everywhere or wrinkle his perfectly-pressed uniform.

ㅤ──────────────────────| ── | The boy of the hour appeared. He was looking good as usual. But that was to be expected, as everything about Akira was usually pristine. Hiro couldn't help but smile when he saw Akira approach the tree. He darted forward and wrapped his arms around him, placing a smooch on his cheek before pulling away from him again. "I'm so glad you could make it, Akira!" Hiro said with another grin and grasped Akira's hand in his own to pull him back with him over towards the tree. "Hm, I don't think we'll get too dirty but I can always cast the Cleaning Spell on you afterward to make you perfect again!" He told him with a smile, not bothered too much with Akira's question. Once they reached the tree, he let go and settled himself down onto the ground at the base. Akira's next question made Hiro nod at him. "Okay, so today I thought we'd focus on both upper and lower body stretching because both are important. You can't just pay attention to one." He told him seriously and looked up at Akira to see if he was going to settle himself down. "If it's too dirty outside for you, next time we can do it inside somewhere." Hiro added. "Work on lower body while on the ground first. It's the easiest one." Hiro leaned forward and stretched out his back while trying to touch his feet with his hands. ────────────────────── ㅤ ㅤ──────────────────────

A wide grin came over Chikao's face as Akira walked right into their trap. He didn't exchange a word with Aryaan, just gave a look, smiled, and immediately jumped right towards Akira yelling out the phrase all clever ninjas used, "Cowabunga!"
Chikao made sure to specifically aim for Akira's arms, and he grabbed both of them forcefully and slammed them to the ground. His grip may have been a bit overwhelming, but Chikao couldn't always notice his strength all the time. Chikao sat on Akira's stomach with his legs crossed, but slightly leaned over him while pinning his arms, "Hey Akira! Didn't know we were gonna hold hands like we use to," Chikao chuckled.
Chikao had him pinned, and any struggle or resistance was met with pure strength back at Akira. Akira may have been an excellent duelist, but Chikao was the one of the two who excelled the most when it came to hand-to-hand combat. Even if he moved his legs, Chikao had him pinned by the stomach, and there was a good chance Akira was going to run out of breath from how heavy Chikao tended to be, "Oh hey Hiro, didn't see you there. Didn't mean to interrupt your date with Akira here," Chikao moved his head and winked at Hiro at an angle that Akira shouldn't have seen. Chikao didn't want to ruin the friendship Akira and Hiro had, that was honestly the riskiest part of this.
"Will you stop struggling Akira? You know just as well as me I win when it comes to physical fighting," Chikao taunted Akira a bit. He could feel the full-on force his friend was using, but it was no use against Chikao. He knew his old friend was gonna be pissed by all hell, but he was curious as to where that anger would go by the end of this. He chuckled and called up towards the tree, "Aryann!" Chikao yelled. He waited for his friend to jump down and administer the potion.
Strength vs. Strength rolls were conducted between Akira and Chikao. Chikao rolled a 20 + 10 = 30 strength, and Akira rolled a 20 + 1 = 21. Akira is unable to break free

Aryaan was just about to jump down after Narumi, but then his friend had to shout out the most absurd chant - warning? - battlecry? ever, before jumping onto Shimizu-kun. The sheer randomness had made Aryaan lose balance and almost trip off the tree prematurely out of surprise, but years of quidditch training meant that he managed to somehow right himself in time.
A slow, Cheshire grin spread across the Indian boy's face. Sometimes, he forgot why he liked Narumi so much. And then the boy would go and bring out his signature unpredictability, and just live things up in a way that was just-- irresistible!
After having given a moment for Narumi to overpower Shimizu-kun's heroic resistance, Aryaan jumped down next to them, calm as you please except for his broad, broad smile.
"That load might be a bit much for you, Shimizu-kun," the Indian boy affected in as faux-serious a tone as he could muster, closing the gap between himself and the Japanese boy firmly pinned under Narumi. "But I know just the thing to help. Here"
With glee, the Indian boy took out the potion with the green smoke. With surprising dexterity, he would grab the Navy's jaw, forcing the Unction into the Japanese boy's mouth. As he did so, he repeated Narumi's odd English warcry: "Cows and bangles, Shimizu-kun. Cows. And. Bangles."
Note: An Accuracy vs eva roll was made to see if Akira would be able to resist the potion administration. Aryaan successfully shoved the potion into Shimizu's mouth

Assassinate with Friendship
As per usual, Hiro greeted him in his typical 'French' manner, which he was almost used to at this point, for a boy who was not used to physical contact. Once they were next to the tree, he looked at the ground skeptically. Was he really going to sit down on the ground in his pristine uniform? Everything in his instinct screamed 'no'. But, if he had already agreed to stretch with his friend, he might as well obey... He looked back at the boy as Hiro gazed up at him, and decided to lower himself to the ground.
"Cowabunga!" A shout rang out from somewhere -- above? -- before he could even sit down, and knocked him backwards completely. He could almost hear his precious uniform screaming in protest as the navy fabric scraped the damp grass and the dirt under his back. "Hey Akira! Didn't know we were gonna hold hands like we use to," Narumi grinned down at him from above, iron grip and sturdy weight pinning him down. Did they hold hands as small kids, back when they were friends? They probably did. But that was besides the point. "Get off... Narumi!" he managed to say as he struggled to break Narumi's grasp, gritting his teeth in the boy's face and straining against his grip so much that he felt his arms might break. He struggled to throw Narumi off his torso, uniform grinding to a dust underneath him, but to no avail. "That was... only... twice!" he said, thinking of the time when he got shoved to the ground by some schoolyard bullies, and Narumi had helped him up before single-handedly defeating said bullies. The other time -- he thought he remembered -- was when Akira had gotten a mortifying 'A' on one of his exams. The elementary school boy had spent the rest of the afternoon crying about the prospect of going home with that grade. Chikao had comforted him, then.
But, as he looked up into the face of his former friend now, all that he could feel was anger and frustration. What was Narumi doing here, ambushing him like this? "It's not a date!" he would protest, but the air was leaving his lungs too quickly as he continued to fight Narumi's grip. And there was no way he was going to just give up, no matter how strong this beater was. If only he could break Narumi's grip and unholster his wand... Narumi would have hell to pay.
He was only more surprised as Shamsi leapt from the same tree, holding a vial. Was this a planned assault all along? Was that what he thought it was...? Akira eyed the green smoke with dread, eyes wide, face red from the exertion of trying to throw Narumi off with renewed strength.
He sputtered as the Gregory's Unctious Unction was forced down his throat from his prone position. "Shamsi, you little--" he growled at the insolent boy. But, somehow, he couldn't finish his insult. A comforting fog mulled over his senses and his raging emotions, tempering them, soothing them. Why... why was he going to insult Aryaan? It was wrong to feel this much rage against him. The snarl on his face acquiesced into a relaxed gaze as he looked up at his best friend, and his struggling in Narumi's grasp ceased. He lay there, calmly.
"Aryaan, if you wanted to hang out today, you could've just said so," he scoffed. "You know, I can always make time for you. You really didn't have to send Chikao to ambush me. I know I always scowl and say I'm busy, but it's not like I don't actually want to hang out," he explained in a matter-of-fact tone. "I know that the Championship is stressing you out, so we should help you take your mind off of it, right?"
He turned his dark gaze up at Chikao. "And you," he said pointedly, addressing one of Aryaan's best friends and quidditch teammate, who he will resolve to be on good terms with, simply because he was his best friend's friend. "Why did you have to pin me down so hard? Is it because you're jealous of my friendship with Aryaan?" he teased with a small, devious grin. "Or..." he continued, mischievous grin getting wider -- Aryaan always did love a little cheek between his friends, after all -- "did you just want to hold my hands again, Chikao?" he teased.
"Hiro," he said, addressing Bakugo. "It seems like the two of them are joining our exercise. Why don't you continue leading us?" he suggested. "Once Chikao gets off of me."
He sighed. His robes would be a mess, now. Might as well do some stretches with his friends.

ㅤ──────────────────────| ── | Hiro could tell Akira was having reservations. But sitting on the ground wasn't too bad, was it? They had cleaning spells for a reason, why not make use of them? The blond was happy when Akira came over to him and then started to lower himself to the ground beside him. It was almost like a date! However, just as Akira bent his legs and began the process of lowering himself to the ground, they were interrupted by what could almost have been called a 'battle cry' from above. Even though Hiro knew the two boys had been up in the tree, he was caught by surprise. Instinctively, he glanced around them, just to make sure it hadn't come from someone else. But upon hearing the rustling above them up in the tree, he knew it was him. Chikao's yelled word made Hiro blink and his brow furrowed, trying to figure out what it meant. Cows and bung? Well, he knew what cows were. And bung meant throw or give in England. So, the boy was saying throw a cow to him? Or give a cow to him? Hiro's brain died. Surely that wasn't the case, right? Could Chikao possibly mean something else? He watched, wide-eyed, as the boy crashed into Akira and slammed him onto the ground, getting the latter's robes all dirty from the amount of force used. "Oi, oi! What are you doing to my - I mean, him?" Hiro hadn't expected Chikao to be so rough with Akira. As Chikao addressed him and referred to their little 'meeting' as a 'date' the blond's lips twitched into a smirk. He glanced over at Akira to see what the navy robe thought of it and was somewhat disappointed when Akira rejected the idea. But Hiro shook off the disappointment and thought about it for a second. Well, he could work with what had been said and turn it to his advantage! "He's right, Chikao. It's not a date. If it were a date, I'd take him someplace better." Hiro said with a rather cheeky grin of his own. But his playful banter was cut short. Because the potion was already being forced down Akira's throat and suddenly the boy's demeanor changed. What came next was a not-so Akira Akira. Hiro blinked as his friend spoke, calling them all by their first names. It was so unlike Akira that Hiro felt it was a little strange to hear from him. Yes, he'd always wanted Akira to call him by his first name, to be familiar with him. But this... it wasn't the real Akira. Or could it perhaps be the real Akira that he'd always hidden? Hiro was suddenly glad that no one had ever tried to use this potion on him. He didn't want to experience this. All his life he'd never had a 'best friend', not really. Yes, it was by choice that he was alone. All his 'friends' were merely titles and there to prove he wasn't depressed, which so far it seemed to have worked. Those who weren't just 'titles' to him were only people he felt 'comfortable around'. But it wasn't as if he ever opened up to them about his true worries and troubles. Hiro wasn't entirely sure why he alienated himself from others. Perhaps it was because he was afraid to let someone in, on the off chance that they would reject him like his parents. Only Akira had managed to penetrate that diamond-hard wall. He hadn't broken through but he'd put a crack in it. That was further than anyone else had ever gotten. Thankfully, since Hiro put forth a facade of being carefree and happy-go-lucky, no one ever thought otherwise. They didn't feel the need to 'cheer him up' or 'make him loosen up' because he was already like that. Or so they thought. It was almost like a defense mechanism for him. No one would try to pry into his personal life if he was like this. And so far, no one ever had, with the exception being Akira. Hiro was pulled from his dark and brooding thoughts as Akira spoke again. "Right. Okay, so the best way to stretch is to work out the lower body first when you're on the ground. Chikao probably already knows how to do this, as he does it very often." "Spread your legs out into a V shape and then reach over to touch the tips of your toes on one foot and hold the position for 30 seconds. Then, repeat the motion with the other foot." He instructed, doing exactly what he'd just told them to do. "Once you're done, put your legs together straight out in front of you and then reach for the tips of both toes and hold the position for 30 seconds again. Repeat the V stretch and then the straight stretch again. This should loosen you up." He told the three. "Then, we can stand up and do upper and full body exercises." It was actually good that they were all stretching and exercising together, it was healthy to do so like this. Plus, they were all doing it together, which was nice. The members of SNACBASH were his closest friends, the ones he'd known forever and who he felt the closest to. Even if he'd never opened up to anyone, SNACBASH was the closest he'd ever gotten. Chikao and Ayako were also close but he didn't feel as close to them as he did to SNACBASH. The only ones who had ever come close to what he had with SNACBASH were Red and Felix. There was something special about those two girls. But despite this, SNACBASH would always come first. Always and forever. "So, when we're done exercising, what did you guys want to do?" Hiro asked, curious. ────────────────────── ㅤ ㅤ──────────────────────
actions: Hiro is a little unnerved with how Akira is acting and dislikes and likes it at the same time. notes: ------------------------------ tags: @Avery Chen as Akira Shimizu, @Hunter Argentum as Chikao Narumi, @Hui Ming as Aryaan Shamsi word count 972 coded by draven mirador |
