Who: Kano & OTA
What: magic practice, pettiness, finals
Where: Lumière, greenhouse, library
When: mid-month, before finals
Warnings: self-harm for prompt i., none expected for the rest
Notes: details of Kano's new Fey Contract can be found on his app
i. Lumière dormitory rooftop
[ Fey magic is a really... terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea. But Kano is determined to make it work, this new Contract that he'd forged a couple of days ago, but it's just so different from his usual illusion magic that he'd worked ten whole years to get to the point where he is now, illusions seamless and effortless compared to him staring at his arm right now wondering what he's doing wrong?
Because his arm is bleeding, a bloody knife on his lap while he pokes at the wound with his other hand and it just comes back bloody, him wincing because it hurts and why isn't the magic working? There's nothing intuitive about this at all, and he has no idea how he's supposed to make it work, with the magic supposed to be healing and dulling pain but it's just doing the opposite for him, the pain making it hard to keep a smile on his face, and making him feel like crying a little.
With a sigh, he waves hand over the bleeding cut instead of touching it, and it disappears— simply masked underneath an illusion, but it's still there while he tries to figure out how to do this, preferably before he bleeds out.
It won't come to it, though. He has three years worth of band-aids stocked up, and he knew they would be useful someday. ]
ii. campus, on the way to the greenhouse or inside
[ But you know what always makes up for terrible days? Even more terrible ideas to get your mind off previous ones. This one isn't that bad, though, because it's something that'll have positive long-term consequences. Probably.
Anyways, it's Kano with long sleeves and pants and winter gloves and the hood of his jacket pulled over his head and eyes and also a bandanna over the rest of his face so he can have as little skin showing as possible. It isn't all because of botched healing practice, though, it's because he's lugging around a three gallon plastic jug in his arms— you know, one of those large plastic containers twice the size of your head that you can buy cheese balls in, but instead of cheese balls, it's bees.
It's a jar full of bees.
He had to ship them to a PO in town and then lug them all the way back to campus; this insect purchasing restriction is really an awful pain. ]
iii. library
[ But also, anyways, it's almost finals and while Kano did surprisingly okay on his midterms, he's got to do slightly more okay on his finals too, because exam scored are literally all that's carrying his grades without the homework to pad it.
So the library it is... Books, his arch nemesis... Him, sitting at one of the open study areas with a stack of brand new text books in front of him that barely look touched, a mug of something on the table that's a dark dark red to the point that it's almost black and also has four tea bags sitting inside it that's steeped so long the tea is no longer steaming, and also hands clamped over his ears like he's trying to block out ambient noise, or massage away a headache, or give himself a headache so he can go hang out in the infirmary for the next two weeks and not do finals.
Why does Daybreak have to be a school??? Schools suck. ]

But he's encouraged when Yuya says that it's helping, hand flat on the top of Yuya's head like he's in the middle of patting his head or ruffling his hair— that gesture he would do sometimes that's something he'd imagine a big brother would do to their younger sibling, like saying "It's okay" or "I'll take care of it." The intention is there. He wants this to work and he wants Yuya to feel better. So why doesn't it work when he tries it on himself? Doesn't he want himself to feel better too?
...
He ruffles Yuya's hair so he doesn't break contact with him. ]
Just like that, huh? I told you I'd find the right spot~
[ And now... He can't ever move his hand ever again. ]
no subject
[Not that he has a problem with it, but this means the first time wasn't a coincidence either, was it?]
no subject
[ He's not going to say anything at all, just keeps ruffling Yuya's hair, like he's making a game of how messy he can make it without lifting his hand. ]
no subject
[ Static's the worst for hair... He rubs his other hand on his pants briefly, and then hovers it over Yuya's head to watch the flyaways stick straight up. Really, just playing, at this point. ]
no subject
[Hopefully his healing magic doesn't come with side effects.]
no subject
No problem, no problem~ If you're ever feeling down, I'll come over and pat your head, okay?
no subject
Instead, he shifts up and reaches to try and ruffle Kano's hair in return.]
no subject
...I'm not the one feeling down, you don't have to do that...
no subject
no subject
Hm, yep~ I'll make sure to call for you then!
[ They can do stupid things like lick toilets and not think ugly thoughts, Yuya's always been good for that, and the entire time he'd showed Kano how to play cards, it got his mind off things too. ]
