X Kobayashi Akihito xx#A3362F
"What do you think I want?"
Akihito frowns deeper, tension collecting in his shoulders. It doesn't take much thought to guess- if Akihito were in Jasper's place, all he'd want is for things to be the same as they used to be.
But Akihito is not in Jasper's place, and things can never be the same as they used to be.
"I am not sure how you feel about me, so I’ll just keep assuming." Whatever you assume, it's probably correct. "It seems you are determined to ignore me or were. It will be interesting if you keep ignoring me...it will be interesting as I am joining the gardening club."
"Joining?!"
Shock and surprise allow the word to slip out, and Akihito struggles to rein in the pure confusion rolling about in his mind. Why on Earth would Jasper want to join the gardening club? Even without Akihito's aversion to him, the gardening club is the most boring option on the roster.
"I am not going to allow anyone to hurt you while I am here."
Ah, that makes sense.
"You may hate me or not like me, but you will need to deal with my presence. You apparently already stopped our connection," Jasper says, sounding frustrated.
Akihito shoves down the whispering voice of guilt. He refuses to think he might be in the wrong.
(He's scared. He knows he's scared. And it's always easier to hide from feared things than to face them, so that is what Akihito will do. It makes no difference that his feared thing is a person.)
"Anyways, are there any seeds you need or certain type of pots or supplies you want?"
A pause, then a blunt, "Yes." Akihito pulls a list of flowers and pot sizes he'd written up earlier to help him remember and hands it over to Jasper, carefully avoiding any physical contact.
Then, because he's still pissed and confused and more than a little stressed, he turns and leaves.
