IC CONTACT

DESCRIPTION: Gongenzaka will promptly answer the radio whenever he's called, which means it's super easy to take advantage of. Go on. Ask him if his fridge is running. He'll hate you forever but will remain unable to do anything about it.
DESCRIPTION: Please put the mail IN the mailbox. All the way. No half-and-half-ing it. Mail should not go ON the box either. Nor under it. Nor beside it, however that works. IN. THE BOX.
...this is extra sad when he's tiny tbh
[Beyond that...he supposes all he can do is nod and hope that Yuuya succeeds with Childermass. Even so...he... ...He looks up to Yuuya, ears drooping.] ...Yuuya.
Do you perhaps recall how I, the man Gongenzaka, and Marishi-ten, both acted during out first day in Wismuth? ...When we were exploring the city?
[It was a polarizing matter between the two-Gongenzaka was sour about his shirts and his book; Marishi meanwhile quite bemused, and even excited. They were the same, certainly, but...]
...Yuuya.
...I, the man Gongenzaka, may have hoped to fight at your side...but I am in no way mad, or bitter, in the way she may have caused it to seem. ...I, the man Gongenzaka, must make that abundantly clear... ...I could never hold such a feeling against you..! [he insists, eyes appearing somewhat misty.]

[He rests his hands in his lap, drooping over a little as he looks down at Gongenzaka (it's still a little weird, looking down).] I really didn't, because I'd never want to push you away. But I didn't want to... not be strong enough to protect you or Yuzu if something happened. I've always been the one with strong friends, right?
[Going from being protecting to protecting isn't... as easy as he hoped it would be. Not with dueling, not with magic. he really had been such a fragile person, hadn't he?] I'm sorry.
no subject
I, the man Gongenzaka, may be physically strong, but if either of us is to be considered 'truly strong', I should certainly say you are..! And...
...And to hear your words, is...mngh... [And...here come the water works. But at this scale it's much more 'different'. The rivers of emotional tears are there, and even the hug is there, but tiny arms can't really do more than cling, and for once his face is the one being buried.]
Mngh...Do not question your strength for now, Yuuya... ...and...it is fine, now. I, the man Gongenzaka, could not call myself a friend if I were to feel you truly wished us 'away', after all..!
no subject
Yuya chuckles.] Don't say that like you aren't. You're not just physically strong... you're strong in your mind and your heart, too. You're steadfast, right?
[It's something Yuya can't help but admire. Someday he wants to reach there. Maybe not to Gongenzaka's actual size, but to be a friend to reliable that he can hold them up.
Then again, Gongenzaka might be so strong that he really doesn't need that from Yuya. He's not the only one Yuya's getting stronger for, of course, it's just sometimes weird to try and comfort a friend who is coping with things like dying or losing his arm better than Yuya himself did.
Really, the only time he can think of that Gongenzaka needed Yuya's validation was when he admitted to have been hiding the severity of his carnival time. But of course something like that couldn't disappoint him.]
Thanks for believing in me.
THAT'S A WRAP TBH...
Well, at least they can say things will be alright.
(He's going to continue crying for a good five more minutes though, he is Quite Moved by this faith!!)]
But first
He slips something out of his pocket, waiting for Gon to calm down at least a little.]
Hey, Gongenzaka. [He starts slowly to catch his attention.] Say cheese.
[And when Gongenzaka looks up at Yuya, he already has his Portland phone out and a coy smile on his lip. And he immediately snaps a picture of him.
Dignified.]
LAUGHS OK -NOW-
[Suffice to say, Gongenzaka has been caught quite off guard-
But it's totally a
Cute. It's a cute picture, not dignified at all.
Cheese.]
