A wave of relief washed over the blonde girl. Was he being serious? God did that feel good. If he was able to forgive her then who wouldn’t? It was impossible to fight back the grin that made its way to her face. “I’m so glad. You really had me going for a second there.” She reached out to hug him tightly. The girl may have looked delicate and frail, but her grip was nothing to joke about. She was the former leader of a gang after all. Though, that was all over now. Linda hated for things to end. Whether it be something as minuscule as a tv show, or as big as the friendship between her and Mikado, she just dreaded it.
The girl let go of him and ducked her way into the apartment. It was like nothing had changed, down to the same scent it always had. She just wanted to turn on the computer and hang out, pretending as if nothing had ever happened to them. Just two mundane kids living on boring high school lives. Though, she knew that Mikado’s escapist tendencies would probably land them in an interesting situation without fail.
“Mikado…I-” She sat down in the nearest chair, and looked around the room. Eventually her eyes moved to the focus of her speech. Out of habit, she smiled at him. "I want to have hotpot with everyone. Can we do that sometime soon?“
Between the two of them, it has always been mikadoandkida. Even when she moved away from Sataima and came to the city, they managed to keep in touch through the internet – just another way for them to connect and stick together and be the same duo they had always been. Mikado could only suppose that the relief of having her back had finally drowned out the anger he had been feeling, and he never could stay angry at her for long, no matter what she did. “You deserved it,” The hug was comforting and warm and he returned it as tightly as he could, hardly scared of hurting her – not after all he had learned about her, and what he knew she had been through now. It was all so stupid, he thought. Maybe he should just stick to being happy with her return.
The door shut behind him after she had made her way in, and he followed her along as she took in the familiar sight of the crappy apartment he lived in. Perhaps it seemed a little bit better, with her inside of it – there was something missing before, but now she was there and it was like the place was whole again. Maybe he was too used to seeing her sitting in front of his computer and messing around on it.
Mikado dropped down across from where she sat. The request caused him to blink and sit in silence for only a second, before he nodded. “Y-yeah! Of course we can—I’ll just have to send a message to everyone and gather them together.”
"I’m deeply hurt that you would laugh at my pain! That was physically traumatizing! I can’t even believe I’m still...
