[He's crying. Oh my god, no. Toki is also a very emotional person and there are tears forming before Gongenzaka's even half-way done with his speech.]

You don't have to prove yourself!

[It's less of a shout and more of a screechy attempt at reassurance, because Toki's crying now. Dramatic sobs. Gongenzaka doesn't have to do anything to prove his worth to people just because he's a lycan.]

Of course you can still work on the project!

[Before he even thinks about it, he's moving to hug Gongenzaka; and still crying.]

[betheman]

[It's probably a very good thing that Maya is not in this dorm, because Gongenzaka is absolutely the type to hug back. It's something Yuuya's learned to expertly dodge- those can get crushing sometimes!

(It's fortunately not the case this time)] MNH-!

Then...We shall make certain that this project comes out well..! [he announces, rather abruptly tearing up once again.] I, the man Gongenzaka, swear upon it!!

[If Yuuya could see either of them right now, he would probably be the one slamming a door in their face.] Toki..! [Gongenzaka proclaims.] Let us begin as soon as possible..!

[yokeye]

[What even happened here? This is so surreal. It might be an hallucination, but Toki's going with it for now.]

Yes~! We can start now~!

[He pulls away from Gongenzaka and gathers his discarded notes.]

Okay! So! You research like how to make things magic and whatever and pick some object that doesn't suck and I'll come back and check your work later~! I'm glad we talked again, Gongenzaka~!

[Now he perhaps has a new friend to manipulate into doing schoolwork for him. Excellent.]

[betheman]

Wonderful! [The hug is broken, and Gongenzaka wipes his eyes again as he helps to hand over the notes.] I, the man Gongenzaka, shall do what I can in that case!

[hey wait a minute-] ...You will be back so we can compare our ideas as well, yes..?

[toki he's not just going to do All of your work dude]

[yokeye]

[He should, if he doesn't want his name on a failing project.]

Of course I'll be back to compare~! I just need a break from research right now~! When do you want to meet!? It's due after the BBC leave!

[He does have a couple ideas, and he may even remember to write them down last minute before they meet again.]

[betheman]

[Gongenzaka is fine with his name being on it, because it is not his grade, Toki. As it is.] It would be best to meet a few days before they leave...

...However, [he adds with a nod,] We should only meet when you feel you are up to working- it will be no good if you are too tired, or feel underprepared-

[He pauses, as if realizing a problem with that statement-]

Rather, more underprepared than you feel is typical. [Since. Toki seems to Always feel he isn't capable.] Regardless...you have my number, correct? Simply message me when you wish to meet- if you like, you can also message ideas, so that I add input that way!

[yokeye]

Yeah, we can do that! I won't be tired~!

[No, his problems for the BBC week include mental breakdowns, trying to rip his own eye out, getting bitten by a vampire, and potential repercussions for breaking into Valvatorez's office and/or assaulting a camera crew. He will not make any arrangements to meet that week, nor likely contact Gongenzaka at all. Things just happen sometimes.]

Uh, I don't, but it's on the network and Yuya has it! I'll text you mine because I have a new phone!

[Which he will also lose during the BBC invasion, and who knows if it gets recovered?]

We've got this~!

[He waves and leaves the room.]

[betheman]

[Toki why are you like this,

Toki can't you get a pass on the assignment that's a lot of Things happening,] Oh, a new phone?

Well, I shall await your contact then! Best of luck! [he adds, waving as Toki leaves.

...

At least they're friends now, he thinks.]
