Let's pretend I didn't respond late af. Life happened. But sigh... as I said in the last correspondence, Maki becoming a full-on stalker truly does something for me in this AU and I have you to thank for that. I love the stupid little dance they do with each other - the fact they cannot communicate for the life of them so it leads to like, the most dramatic ass scenarios that could've been avoided. Maki jerking off and feeling the thrum of Mai's cursed energy as she gets closer, hearing her name on her lips, that being a deciding factor to practically pouncing on her in the darkness of night on some lone street - it's almost consent, no?

I know you want me back. You can't say it. It's okay. I can't, either.

Ugh... walking Mai home afterward - even if Mai tells her to fuck off. Lingering there. Mai making a sarcastic comment about going back to her girlfriend, forgetting that Nobara has kicked Maki out. Awkward silence. ...Where are you staying, anyway? Don't invite her in. Don't fucking do it. But she's tired. And the house is so dark. And Maki is a bigger boogeyman than any cursed spirit could be.

Okay, fuck, they're hitting again.

Idiots! Idiots, the lot of them I swear!
