SENTENCE MEME.
(I've reached the point where 'sentence' no longer looks like a word.)

Stolen from various people—give me characters and/or a pairing (LIKE ANY EXIST...) and a prompt and I'll write you a sentence in return!

[kogetsu]

Hollywood/Sunflower (?) - Yarrow:

"You think you're some bigshot because you beat me?"

With a brand of coarseness undeniably coming from one Arafune Tetsuji, a voice sounds out from Ko's phone, almost embarrassingly loud in Border's cafeteria.

The real, present Arafune quickly shuts off the phone, practically slamming it down on the table—a reminder that this is Ko's phone, not his, and being better than that restrains him so as to not break the device. Ko would forgive him without any problems (he has no right not to, considering his teammate), but still.

"Why do you have that on your phone?" Arafune finally manages to find his voice. "I thought that was recorded on Kuruma-san's!"

"I transferred the file," Ko replies in that all too calm tone, in spite of Arafune's growing awkwardness.

"I can see that, you idiot, but why?"

"Because it's important to me."

Murakami Ko is a moron who overthinks things, Arafune knows. Maybe it's one of his charm points, as it lends to an air of serenity (serenity that Arafune knows to be a dirty lie, because who was it, again, that cried in a closet when he thought Arafune quit being an Attacker because of him?). Sometimes, Ko's not always wrong; their presence has attracted the attention of some naive C-Ranks. In particular, Arafune's heard—and no doubt so has Ko—whispers of isn't that the No. 4 Attacker (no one whispers, hey, isn't that the guy aiming to become the next perfect All-Rounder, but then again, Arafune doesn't televise that to the world).

Murakami Ko is a moron who is a celebrity, a mythical figure, in a way that's almost hilarious to Arafune. To him, Ko is just Ko, the guy he taught how to use Kogetsu. For better or for worse, the majority of Border won't see him the same way. It's not perfect. It can never really be, but it's reality.

Arafune will never know what it's like to have a Side Effect. Knowing how Ko feels about his, he doesn't think he wants one, either. That means that he'll never quite know what it's like to be in Ko's shoes, but maybe, he doesn't need to know.

If a speech he made up on the spot—if nothing but his sincere feelings on the matter are enough to make Ko happy, then that's already something, isn't it?
