How strange.

Thought Zentaro as the boy spoke up about his worries. Was the boy so worried about fights that he indirectly caused that it causes such anxiety? How strange, truly. His father did say people are strange and emotional beings, maybe Zentaro was too hasty to think people could be as reasonable as he was. Maybe, maybe he should reassure the boy. That's what people say when they get emotional like this, right? 

[color=f6989d]"I doubt they were going to fight in the middle of a crowded hall... but if you feel that way I will not deny you your appreciation and just accept it."[/color] Is that how people accept appreciation? He normally just stays silent when people thank him. Why is he speaking? He's acting weird today. Maybe it's the energy of the school making him act up. Once he gets used to it he may act more like himself.

Oh.

Zentaro didn't expect the boy's reaction to his words. Zentaro only repeated what his father told him advice he never used himself since friendship is a thing he never needed. And it was clear from the boy's determined expression and words that he was aiming the advice to Zentaro himself. Guess he has to answer him or else he has to endure feeble attempts at friendship for the next three years. If Misaki wants him as a friend he will at least set the ground rules for the forced friendship. Maybe he can even improve Misaki though their one sided friendship? How sentimental. Disgusting. Pathetic, really to focus on such useless thoughts. But it piqued his interest, shamefully. Maybe, maybe just this once he play along to such sentimentality. But he won't like it. He definitely won't.

Zentaro ran a hand though his pink hair and focused his eyes on Misaki's with great intensity, more intensity he has shown all day. How weird. To show such emotions outside of combat. [color=f6989d]"I can't speak for everybody since everybody has different needs and reasons for friendships. That's why I say you should earn it. But I can see that you want to be friends, So I won't deny you the opportunity. And I admit your determination to do so is admirable even though your timidity."[/color] Zentaro spoke ever bluntly, he didn't dance around the fact he knew the boy's intentions but he also graciously added his own positive emotions to the mix, how gross of him. [color=f6989d]"I'm always aiming to improve myself and I expect the same thing from everybody around me... especially you from now on Since you want us to be equals."[/color] Zentaro continued, before he suddenly let out his first smile of the day which is normally reserved for fights which made it look a bit more intimidating then what he intended. 

[color=f6989d]"I expect the best from you and you should expect the best from me... that is my only condition to my friendship."[/color] Zentaro finally finished he hasn't spoken this much in a long time. His jaws starting to get sore. He's being grossly sentimental but maybe this is the next step in his self improvement at this school his father did say improvement isn't always how you think it will happen after all. Maybe friendship will make him better as a Pro-hero even if he thinks team work is gross and stunts growth of an individual but he can't deny the usefulness of it and Pro-heroing is about compromises after all if his father is being truthful which he always is. Plus having a short term goal is always a good thing to have. And giving one to this Timid boy is very gracious of him to do. But Misaki is also giving hims a goal. To finally have an equal. Maybe he can start with that stuttering. 

[color=f6989d]"Is that agreeable with you?"[/color] Zentaro asked the boy sharply but not rudely like normal. He's already acting far too nice and sentimental to this boy.
