I had fun with nicknames. And characters. Actually, I'll just list the whole thing as fun or I'd be at this all day. Not that I'd mind, but you just might.

“Didn’t you hear me?” the blonde asked curiously, crowding the male, bike and all.
Anyone at Seven Sisters could have told her that he was doing his best to ignore her, only half paying attention as he continued meddling with his bike. Anyone could have told him that was a bad idea, since he quite obviously wasn’t a mechanic and was just obviously making things worse…but no one was brave enough to do so. No one dared try to talk sense into Lisa Silverman about Tatsuya Suou, either, so the words remained, unsaid but hardly silent, in the air.
“Mmph,” was the only reply she got. She huffed. Sure, he had a wrench he was holding in his mouth, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t talk to her! Or at least stop what he was doing to pay attention.
Men.
“I asked you why you didn’t go to the festival last week! Everyone else was there!” Obviously, therefore, the most popular guy in the whole high school had to go, too! It only made sense.
He finally at least did her the honor of pulling out the wrench and sitting back a little, though he still didn’t bother to look at her. “I was busy. I had better stuff to do.”
“But whyy?” she whined. Most guys wouldn’t ignore her like this, but then, as everyone agreed, Tatsuya-kun wasn’t just any guy.
He shrugged and went back to tinkering. It wasn’t as if he was going to tell her the truth, about waking up one evening in the summer screaming, or the strange aversion he’d gotten to going to the Alaya Shrine recently. He wasn’t sure what, but something…bad had happened there, and he didn’t—no, more like couldn’t—remember. He couldn’t explain it and didn’t want to. It was bad enough dealing with Katsuya, who had started taking things rather personally. The fact that he just refused to go to the Shrine, for instance. He’d loved going there as a kid, but he just didn’t want to anymore. Didn’t mean anything against his older bro, who’d always been the one to take him. But Katsuya acted as if he’d been rebelling, as if this had all been just one big ploy to drive his aniki insane.
No wonder Katsu was on edge all the time lately, if he felt that every time Tatsu was being stubborn it was meant as a personal insult. Seriously, the guy was a little too uptight and possibly going insane.
Tatsuya rubbed his forehead, a bit of grease smudging, and stared at his reflection in the motorcycle, which didn’t have any answers either.
“Just didn’t feel like going,” he stated, quieter than normal. Apparently Lisa’d been talking this whole time, because she shut up for once and stared at him as if he’d been possessed.
“You okay?” she asked quietly, carefully, as if he’d have one of his fabled displays of temper and attack her or something.
"Fine." And that was the last word he was going to say on the subject.

I know it sounds boring, but it looks like you really need it, and think of it like this: if you go to sleep, you could try to get some dreams that would help inspire where I'm up to, in writing this fic, and then you could tell me about them. And it's not like you'll miss some deadline of reading this or something.
See? All pluses.

Date: 2013-08-09 04:49 pm (UTC)<3 your Lisa & Tatsuya interaction! (but you should really include her-or at least Ginko-in your tags...)
...I could be wrong, but wasn't Tatsuya actually good at mechanics stuff? (I seem to remember some dialogue near the beginning where he actually maintains his own bike or something...argh my memory! Now I really DO have to go replay this!)
Love love love that you brought Katsuya in already! :D
Alaya Shrine? Isn't it Araya Shrine?
Quiet Tatsu! (Dragon fits him...I'm going to be using that as his nickname now!)
'displays of temper'? Though people did pretty much call him tough and consider him Eikichi/Michel's equal, so maybe he beats up bullies in his spare time or something?
...Your Tatsuya overall confuses me, but I think I like him. :D (Give me moooore so I can make up my mind! ;) hehe)

Date: 2013-08-10 06:11 am (UTC)Yeah, very few things are worth losing sleep over. (Also, how EARLY do you get up?!?)
Thanks! (And thanks for the note. I kind of forgot about her didn't I?)
Oh, yeah. I remember that sentence too (vaguely). But My Tatsuya is Different (hahaha, okay more seriously). As much as my Jun diverges from canon, Tatsuya, while nowhere near as bad, still isn't completely the Tat-chan from canon. (A lot of it was actually his idea...he's a pretty pushy character to write, and he doesn't even mean to be as pushy most of the time. And yes, Dragon does fit him very well, doesn't it?)
For better or for worse, Katsu is a pretty big part of his brother's life, and vice versa. (We'll be seeing more of him. Sometime.)
In Japanese, L roughly equals R, so they're interchangeable. (Not entirely sure why I used the less common transliteration, but /em shrug.)
Yeah, pretty much. Rumors of him beating up biker gangs and stuff. (...wait. Wrong game. /em wink heheh.) How much of it is just rumor and how much is truth remains to be seen.
Noticed the last line's messed up font-wise, and attempted to correct it. We'll see if that actually works or not.
Of course, my lovely flower!~ (But not now...tomorrow probably. Sorry about teasing, but something just came up I have to go take care of. /em sighs RL can be annoying sometimes...)
