(knifelizard) spinner's just gonna. stand in front of toga. "hey, uh, heard you're lookin' for someone to carry you around. i'm not as tall as some of the others, but..." he's strong at least, so he crouches over and lets her climb up onto his back. "where we going?"

hmm. there was a beat as toga considered what spinner had to say. it’s true, he wasn’t as tall as some of the others. but he was taller than her and also willing to let her up on his back, so that was good enough for her.  “ ooh, thanks spinner!! “  she scrambled in her excitement to get on his back, attempting to get onto his shoulders for maximum height. 

“ let’s go see if i’m tall enough to stab dabi in the face! “ 

she’s not used to this, for as much as she insists that people are her friends, himiko knows that most people don’t actually care for her like she does for them. but the league had been different, twice had been different. losing big sis had been hard enough, but twice had helped her through that, he’d saved her life and she couldn’t even be sure that he’d known how grateful she was, how much she loved him.  “ but what if i lose you or one of the others? “  her voice comes out barely louder than a whisper, and she wishes that she could dig out this emptiness inside her, carve it out with her knife and make someone else deal with it instead.  “ i want to hurt them too. i want to kill them all before they can make me lose anyone else. i want jin back. “

          “hey….” rare moments of softness ,  allowed only for each other ;  shuichi understands perfectly what toga is feeling. but he still wishes he could do… something. “i get it.” he sits, chin in his hands. “i’m not…” he’s never been the best at comfort ,  and he finds himself at a loss for words now. “i don’t think twice would want you to stop being…” he gestures vaguely. “most people in this world are going to hurt you ,  no matter what you do. but if you shut out the people who care, you’ll only end up hurting yourself.”
