ALRIGHT.

Kira's the first person in Aather to get Shark to laugh himself sick and she'd been around like, half an hour. He just clicked with her! She's fun and funny and really nice and he's able to be open with her. Especially when he met her, being open is something he was wavering about because he was pretty close to doing the Coral thing and deciding that closing off was fine, deal with everything alone~ mostly, save for his general open sessions with Kazuki.

And then there was someone else he could talk to! Just kind of randomly out of the blue! And she turned out to be, I'm not sure how to put it, but instant kind of buddy understanding. And he's extremely upset that her first game was that one, but he's also relieved she was with Kunzite because of all the teams Kunzite seemed to weather the game pretty damn well.

He's also glad she's with Kunzite for the selfish reason of the teams protect each other, and he likes Snow on Kunzite already and in general. So he's distressed she had to have such an awful first game, glad she had it with Kunzite, happy to have met her because she's really sweet to him and he really likes her and she's someone he can be open and relaxed with, basically. He feels really protective of her too, because she's new and she's his friend and she has had a pretty awful first day.

Well, Akako has basically gone her ENTIRE LIFE emotionally repressed and really the only significant relationship she had with a human before canon was her mother. And Akako is really, really, REALLY LONELY, but connections is risk of tears, so won't do it.

Plus there's some crazy with layers of personalities.

But she doesn't remember she was emotionally repressed, so she is off making ALL the connections. However, while she is making more connections then canon Akako does, Kira....doesn't...know how exactly to go about it, really. What it feels like and a lot of Feels just make her feel awkward, so most is just casual with some getting protectiveness. Half of Kunzite has invoked the protectiveness.

Then there's Shark. And what it comes down to really is just that laugh. Before she was just liking him, as she did with most of Coral, but then that LAUGH and it's kind of hilarious how my misreading essentially led to Kira getting amazing CR. Because Akako has been emotionally repressed forever, she's NEVER laughed like that. But Kira didn't think to stop it and it's just...it's an elation her body isn't familiar with, but it felt SO NICE. It's a giddy sort of happy and there's endorphins and her body is just like 'THIS IS AMAZING *_*' and thus Kira is like 'I'M SO HAPPY.' And suddenly this happiness was immediately linked to Shark.

And then they did just...click. They could GET each other. Get the worry and yandere and the jokes and the flirting and making each other embarrassed and it's just...it makes me sad in a way to realize it would have NEVER HAPPENED with canon Akako because she's a faker, and just makes the Kira and Shark connection even more amazing. There was a kindred spirit thing going on which Kira also likes (and Akako lacked.) It's EVERYTHING KIRA WANTS before she even knows she wants it. Someone who gets her, truly, and someone she gets, and he makes her happy and he LIKES HER FOR HER.

Really it's only because Kira is damn good at following through when she decides something she was able to decide in the game at all between Coral and Kunzite. (It's why Kira's also been really together through her intro. FOREVER ASSURED AND CONFIDENT.) But making the decision felt like she was stabbing herself in the heart. For the whole of the game, she could get herself to not give two fucks, but then suddenly CORAL and she needed Meadow's comfort. What's funny is that is forever going to be a regret of hers now even if either choice would be regret. Especially since Kunzite had such a surplus, they were never at risk. >8

And now they've made a promise and Kira is a witch. Honoring Contracts is a thing she feels...kind of compelled to do. Which will be very interesting if she ever adopts those pathological liar tendencies, but it's just-ewaoiejwaoijewaj. Kira still has reservations about COMPLETE honesty because she does have pride, but she thinks she COULD do it with Shark. Because it's Shark and Shark understands and they get each other and he makes her happy and she's fine being a derp around him and it's just....

Yes, all the derederederedere FOREVER.

So barring things going ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLY somehow, when Akako figures out she's actually deeply in love with Kaito, what would Shark think? =O
