Akane x Brigitta ??
Music: Homesick (Dark)
AKANE: I can't believe this...
AKANE: I know you're in there. Get out here.
BRIGITTA: Isn't it a bit overcast outside? We wouldn't want to be caught in the rain, now would we?
AKANE: There's barely enough room for the two of us in there.
BRIGITTA: That just means there's just enough room~
AKANE: ...It means get out.
BRIGITTA: *sniffle* And after all the preparation I've done...
AKANE: What, a cup of tea? Tampering with my clothes?
BRIGITTA: I was on short notice, okay? I had something else in the works.
AKANE: Surely nothing good, I assume.
BRIGITTA: Oh, it was going to be great!
BRIGITTA: I was planning to swipe a maid outfit and-
AKANE: You can stop right there.
BRIGITTA: You don't have to look at me like I'm a monster. I'm not trying to stuff you in a box and keep you for myself.
BRIGITTA: ... I mean, if you're into that-
AKANE: No.
BRIGITTA: That's fine, I just try to be open-minded~
AKANE: Then how far do you have to open your mind for this to stick:
AKANE: Go away.
BRIGITTA: Ooh, you're going to break my fragile heart if you keep playing hard to get. I can only take so much abuse...
AKANE: I'm not playing hard to get-
BRIGITTA: Then what is it~? I've seen how your eye lingers on other lovely maidens such as myself.
AKANE: W-What?! Do not insinuate that I leer at others like you do. I have a-
AKANE: ... little respect for others. You are correct in that my... matter of preference is not my problem with you.
AKANE: Your severe misunderstanding is that my problem is everything else about you. I wish you to go far, far away.
AKANE: I don't care if "she" assigned you to do this or not, you are bothersome. You are in my shadow every other time I turn around ready to make some inane comment.
AKANE: My life is a struggle enough without a vulgar flea gnawing on my mind, Nohrian or not.
AKANE: I have no patience left for your nonsense. Begone from my life.
BRIGITTA: ...You think I'm going to let you get away that easily? After putting in all this work?
AKANE: ...
BRIGITTA: ...Because I am going to. I'll leave you alone. My patience has worn thin as well.
BRIGITTA: I thought you liked the teasing. You woke up out of that hollow stare you had at least. Still grouchy, but less dead inside, maybe.
BRIGITTA: Evidently I've fumbled and misread the situation. Yet again.
BRIGITTA: But was even a cup of tea on a rainy day really too much to ask?
BRIGITTA: It surely wouldn't kill you to give some thanks for getting you out of that battle. At least you won't be dying out there tonight.
BRIGITTA: Oh wait, you can protect yourself, right? So you can make your bed and lie in it all your own.
BRIGITTA: You don't need this -Nestrian- flea around, at least.
*Rustling*
BRIGITTA: I'll cut the drama and let you continue to wallow in your own misery. I-
BRIGITTA: -Ngh... need get a head start on all the chores the pink princess is probably going to saddle me with for this.
BRIGITTA: *sigh* (I can't believe I burned my hand for this. Why do I bother trying...?)
BRIGITTA: Bye.
*Brigitta exits.*
AKANE: Hey! You dropped your...
AKANE: ...Nevermind. She's gone.
AKANE: What is this... crumpled piece of paper?
AKANE: Oh. I see.
AKANE: Nameless gods... what have I been doing? What have I let myself turn into?
*Rain starts to fall against the tent.*
AKANE: She'd... she'd hate to see me like this. Would even my family recognize me?
AKANE: *sigh*
