Comments

Week 0, Saturday, Post-Trial

[overlimit]

[rita's out on the campus grounds when she's about to cross paths with denji, who is carrying a goddamn chainsaw. she stops to gawk at it.]

What the heck is that?

[sawboned]

Huh? [tracks her gaze] It's a chainsaw. [obviously??]

[the machine Denji's carrying looks kinda cute...?]

Week 1, Thursday Pre-Curfew

[overlimit]

[denji gets a text during the day on thursday!]

Quick question.
Do you have an extra credit assignment right now?

[sawboned]

Yeah but they told me I have to keep it a secret or I won't get anything special for it why

Week 2, Friday

[overlimit]

Need to talk. Meet me behind Spring Dorm.

[sawboned]

Sure like right now can I bring my cereal

Week 2, Saturday

[overlimit]

[it's getting pretty late, and rita's still out walking around the campus, near the stables, when she spots a movement in the darkness and gives a start.

... !

but then she manages to make out who it is.]

... You? The hell are you doing here this late?

[sawboned]

[Denji's sitting in the far end of the orchard, with a little pile of oranges next to him, one of which he's currently peeling]

Eatin' oranges. You?

week 3, monday

[sawboned]

[with the appearance of the sledding hills, it was only a matter of time until Denji's curiosity took hold, so sometime on Monday Rita will be walking near the bottom of one of these slopes when she hears]

Hey, look out!!

[coming from 1 Denji sliding in a way that does not seem to be on purpose or at all in control—he has no sled, this is a butt slide]

[overlimit]

Huh? GAH!!

[rita jumps as soon as she realizes he's headed towards her, just barely managing to evade but ending up stumbling and falling onto her ass in the snow.]

What's the big idea!?

Week 3, Saturday

[overlimit]

[people start clearing out of the gym, some slower than others. rita stays seated for a while to reflect, and when she finally starts to make her way to the exit, she looks back and sees that denji's still there.

she hesitates... and walks back, approaching him.]

... Hey. You all right?

[sawboned]

[it'd be easy to have not noticed him—he's barely moved, staring off at nothing in particular

he doesn't react to her approach, but does answer right away]

No. Head feels like crap.

Week 4, Thursday

[overlimit]

[wherever denji is, rita's just gonna slam right into his path. happy alpha week ig]

Hey. You got any extra credit to work on right now?

[sawboned]

[oh no he's weak to alphas, he stammers a bit at Rita's sudden, confident appearance, his own alpha impulses outdone]

H-hey? Yeah I got somethin' but...it's not as fun as the other ones so I don't really wanna do it.

Week 4, Friday

[overlimit]

Hey, you doing okay right now? Wanted to talk to you.

[sawboned]

[even though denji usually responds quickly to text (sparing not even a moment to check or edit his messages' contents, as rita will know by now) there's a solid length of time before a return text from denji comes:]

Hey kinda feeling crappy but we can talk you just need to come over here and meet me because they said I'm under house arrest which means I can't leave on my own I guess

Week 4, Saturday

[overlimit]

[well, sometime after the trial, rita finds denji and fuck it, it's still alpha week, here's a kabedon. her emotional state is miserable, but she can still manage it!]

So when were you going to tell me that you didn't actually use the coupon?

[sawboned]

[kabedon kinda...hot?? there's a flush of excitement in this stinky boy before the words register and it turns to confusion]

What?? I totally did, and it got Miss Byleth killed! [he doesn't seem overly happy about that, with a tinge of guilt in the emotional mix here]

Week 6, Monday

[overlimit]

[in the cafeteria, rita fills a tray with various food items and goes to take a seat. she immediately sets down a notebook to write in while she eats, and while in recent weeks this has been something done with a sense of frustration, this time, she's kind of... eager? like she's actually in a good mood.

in fact, it takes her a few seconds to realize she just sat down across from denji, and she looks up as if surprised to see him there.]

Hm? Oh, hey.

[sawboned]

[denji had been sort of leaning further and further towards rita's notebook to see what she was doing, but when she notices and looks up he snaps back, obviously pretending he wasn't just peeping]

Hm? Oh hey, Rita, didn't see ya there.

Whatcha doin'?

Week 6, Saturday

[overlimit]

[rita shows up at the detention classroom, looking pretty grim. she lingers in the doorway, hesitant to walk in.]

... Hey...

[her voice is weak.]

[sawboned]

[denji is leaning back in a chair, with his feet up on a desk—he's looking out the window and holding pochita close while the little dog whines sadly

he turns around when he hears rita and grins, swinging out a chair for her to sit on and patting it]

Was wonderin' when you were gonna speak up. C'mon in.

w6, post expulsion(?)

[sawboned]

[denji disappeared for a while in a crowd of rowdy, chatting Winters heading back to the dorms, but a few hours after All The Stuff he seems to be making snack runs

he spots rita as he's crossing the quad, his arms full of bags and takeaway boxes and a slice of pizza in his mouth—he attempts to wave without dropping everything]

[overlimit]

[she sees him, and while she doesn't wave back, she stops and waits for him to get a little closer.]

Hey. Making the most of your second chance at life, or whatever?

[... probably way past the second one, but y'know.]

Week 7, Saturday

[overlimit]

[wherever denji is, rita shows up with a couple of takeout cups with iced tea, presumably from the cafeteria. she'll pass him one.]

Finished having your fun?

[she sure saw the t-rex thing. it was kinda hard to miss.]

[sawboned]

[he's laying out on the lawn somewhere, cooling off in the shade, but sits up at her approach]

Yeah, was pretty crazy bein' the big monster for a change.

[he takes a sip of the iced tea, but presuming it's not sweet he makes a bit of a face, but keeps drinking it]

....kinda weird it was that easy, huh? In the end. [denji you got cut in half like, yesterday]
