ㅤ ㅤMarking his calendar. Only one week away before Gonta's birthday. ㅤMhm... Maybe he will throw together a small party with his bug friends and call it a day. ㅤ

ㅤ "B-But, gentleman helps lady. Gonta gotta repay debt to Mikan--!" ㅤHer sudden seriousness slightly took him off-guard. With a nervous blush, he paused his imminent ramble, meekly acquiescing to her demand. All things considered, he understood her sentiment towards helping. "O-Okay… Thank you!" ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤWhile it's difficult judging a product by a picture only, the entomologist trusted his sight nonetheless. ㅤLeather is a soft and flexible material, perfect for footwears that ought to naturally stretch and mold to conform to wider feet effortlessly. Nothing beats moccasins in that field. >>

ㅤ ㅤThe gentle giant stared with curiosity as she pulled out the tablet, expecting something related to medical care, not a full-on shopping session. Though, he admired how she was going to great lengths to care for her patients’ needs. "Mikan need measure of Gonta’s foot? Okay, but no tickle." >>

ㅤ ㅤHe hates it, shoes leave him unstable on his feet, let alone the pain and fatigue from footwear being too narrow for acclimating their wide size. "Mikan right… sorry, Gonta idiot." ㅤHe was even ready to put up with frostbite if it wasn't for its downside… The pain was more bearable still. ㅤ

ㅤ "O-Oh… Gonta no wanna lose toes." ㅤIt took him few seconds before realizing his actions, releasing her from his clutch as he shrunk back on his seat, gaze drifting away. While he was upset at her demand, and looked so too, he had only himself to blame. "Gnhh… Mikan only looking out for Gonta…" ㅤ

ㅤ "G-Gonta will lose toes?!" ㅤHer words didn't fall on deaf ears. With widened eyes and an overall panicked state, he seized Mikan by the shoulders, jolting her. "B-But--… Gonta need toes! Please… Mikan gotta help Gonta!" ㅤAs an oversight, he didn't realize she said it was only a possibility. ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤPouting… he knew that. It was the most obvious solution, but he was stubborn on certain things, and being barefoot was one of them. It helped building hard as rock calluses to avoid casual injuries, but not cold ones. "No like shoes, too tight and restricting, makes it hard for Gonta to walk." ㅤ

ㅤ "Y-Yes... okay." ㅤHe did as he was told, plopping down. Of course he knew she was the best in her field, but he still felt bad for bothering the nurse with his predicament. "Um... sorry for giving more work to Mikan. Gonta idiot for taking walk outside." ㅤ

ㅤ [ Shakes head, embarrassingly pointing at his tootsies's frostbites. ] ㅤ

ㅤ U-Um... Mikan...? 💦 ㅤ

// guess who FINALLY finished watching a letsplay of danganronpa 1, im not an ignorant bitcc anymore hehehehehe

ㅤ Very cold-- um... frozen foot. 💦 ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤOwie... frostnips. ;; ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤHe shook his head, intense eyes staring right back at the other, frowning. "That not true. Gonta hear yawn before. Kazuichi need sleep." ㅤNot that he'd leave much of a choice for Souda at that point, now that his project was done. Locked in his clutch, feet off the ground, carrying him away. ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤHearing it from the mechanic reassured him. So he didn't mistakenly look disinterested. "Mhm, not good. Kazuichi allowed to have nice rest too." ㅤGetting up from his seat, he dragged Souda along, briefly suspending him in the air. Chuckling, Gonta returned the hug, holding him off the ground. ㅤ

ㅤ "Gonta wake up with sun, sleep when sun gone. But…" ㅤPushing his glasses up, he rubbed his eye while giving a resigned head shake. He was ashamed of himself for passing out, failing to look out for Souda. "Keeping Kazuichi company very important for Gonta too… umm… Sorry… Gonta not reliable." ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤWaking up, he groggily took a look around. It slowly came back to him where he was, and what he was doing here. "H-Huh? Is… Kazuichi done? … Ah!" ㅤAlarmed, he was worried Souda would believe he found his hobby boring. "S-Sorry! Gonta not mean to sleep during Kazuichi's work, Gonta so sorry!" ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤ The gentle giant was looking out for Souda during his work, including keeping track of time in his stead-- well, mostly, Gonta's circadian rhythm did. ㅤWhile he had planned to request the mechanic to take a break for the day when night fell, he had nodded off before getting the chance to. ㅤ

ㅤ If tomato a fruit... is ketchup smoothie? ㅤ

ㅤ Yes! Gentlemen drink tea, and Gonta is gentleman, so... Gonta glad to join Chiaki for tea! ㅤ

ㅤ O-Oh... sorry, Gonta not know... but Gonta can get tea for Chiaki. No worry, Gonta happy to help! ㅤ

ㅤ Of course! Gonta doing good too, thank you for asking Gonta! Umm... still sleepy? Gonta no mind getting coffee or something for Chiaki. ㅤ

ㅤ Yes, cuz Gonta happy to see Chiaki doing well! ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤHaving pulled a small crate to use as a seat, his knees were at waist level when he sat down, hands resting upon them whilst observing him work. ㅤIf there were times he'd request his help, such as lifting things, he'd do so in a heartbeat. Otherwise, he didn't want to accidentally interfere. >>

ㅤ MORNING ! ㅤ

ㅤ So... Izuru no blow up country, but Chiaki? Gonta get it now! ㅤ

ㅤ Mhmmmmm... If even Chiaki not know... umm... 💦 ㅤ

ㅤ Chiaki! Umm... Gonta need Chiaki's help... what Gonta should do for Izuru...!? 💦 ㅤ

ㅤ Ngnh... zzz... --! IT'S BIRTHDAY OF WHO TODAY??? ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤHe didn't clock new year's punch has alcohol in it. Curled into a ball on the couch, hangover miserable. ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤIt was fascinating to observe Souda in his element, how confident and at ease he came across the instant he had a tool in hand. Quite the transformation. ㅤIt sets the gentle giant's mind at rest, relieved to witness him being passionate about his work… even though Gonta didn't get half of it. ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤOne... two... three! Without any warning, he throws Nanami up in the air with ease, carefully catching her on the way back down. Rinse and repeat. ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤHe can't per say make her 'float', but he can offer her the next best thing; yoinking her off the ground, bridal style! ㅤ

// Before the year end, I want to thank y'all for being such good people, and amazing writers, each and every one of you <333 I wouldn't be having so much fun RPing in the verse if it wasn't for all those opportunities of interactions you've given me, and for that, thank you so so much !! 💚💚💚

ㅤ "Mhm... Gonta get what you mean! When Gonta can't rest, Gonta go for a walk, or play music. Maybe Chiaki too." ㅤ

What you girls really need is a soft, fuzzy man! An ambient man!

“Ah! It’s already that time of the year already?! Well I can say happy New Year’s Eve to you all! I hope next year goes better for everyone else, I’ve really enjoyed my time with you all of course!”

ㅤ ㅤ[ A world in which every creatures were treated fairly... That's quite the goal, but one the entomologist stood behind. Though, even he knows it can't happen overnight. ] Yes, Gonta so glad to introduce friend to bugs! Videos fun to watch, but more fun to observe behavior of bugs in real life. ㅤ

ㅤ Really?! Other people like bugs as much as Gonta? ㅤ[ He looks ecstatic at the news, looking back down at the screen as he muses in silence. Gundham's blog looks like a great place to share his own discoveries and observations. ] Mhm... Gonta wonder, do Gundham want to meet Gonta's bug friends? ㅤ

LORD OF THE FLIES.

ㅤ Umm… ㅤ[ Shifting his weight from one foot to another, biting his lower lip, clearly doing a poor job being subtle about his uneasiness. ㅤHe doesn't want to be secretive, but he is torn between holding his promise to them or sating his new friend's curiosity. ] Errr… oh! Umm-- Druidic powers…? ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤMeeting his gaze as he waited for an answer, responding to his flustered state with an unrelated buoyant grin. He was merely elated to be of help. "Workbench… okay!" ㅤHe focuses back on the task at hand, checking over where Souda motioned, setting it down where there'd be no clutter beneath. ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤ[ Giving a slight look of confusion upon being handed the device so abruptly, but doesn't question it any further. ] Yes, thank you for showing Gonta! Oh! Look, this one! ㅤ[ Unlike Gundham, he has no issue forgetting about personal space when excited, closing the gap to show him the screen. ] ㅤ

ㅤ [ No need to ask him twice! He's instantly drawn to watching the bug videos Gundham is showing him, fascinated by their contents. ] ㅤ
