Dimitri kissed his teeth, Grisha pursed his lips clearly dissatisfied. "He's got no balls!" Dimitri declares, a fist pounding the table like a gavel. Sentencing you to your judgement. "He doesn't even have balls…" Grisha followed up by downing the liquid again. "Your girlfriend kicked them balls into a little vagi-" Dimitri went on before freezing, suddenly his attention was down the long table. A shadow rolled over you, you could feel a person hovering behind you. Grisha leans back, drumming his fingers along the table before quickly screwing the thermos shut, his own eyes on you. A tray slid down next to yours, Haruki sat down beside you. You could feel the entire room watching. All holding their breaths for the next fight to break out.
The tall girl was rigid, not even looking your way. Entirely focused on her tray. Dr. Yumigawa had stopped what she was doing, now watching the pair of you. A worried expression poorly hidden. You knew another fight wouldn't break out, trying to remove the attention before everyone had to deal with a Phobos. It would be unfair if you negatively affected them. Calmly, you ate another mouthful. Savouring the food before prodding the girl with your arm. Her own uniform was well ironed and up close you saw her beret properly. It was tan, the pin of a shattered skull. Zeta symbols creasing along one of the many cracks. "You didn't kick my little balls off right?" Ruki turned to watch you, puzzlement and confusion rippled along her brow as her mouth worked but no words escaped.
Her cheeks turned red. "What? No… what?" You grinned patting her own hand with yours while shaking your head to the Delta boys. Her hands felt surprisingly soft. "I've still got them. But today is important. So you should probably save it for after" You tell the boys definitely, Haruki stammering even more in confusion. A little whine escaped her. "So she is your lover then? I believe that makes me about a hundred Grenny richer now." Grisha mulled the words, while other delta boys dropped into seats to either side. He spoke with a new found resolve. "That's actually not a bad idea. That's a pretty great idea. We can have a party after linking. Even Mr. Little babyballs here can come, you can even bring your girlfriend since it was your idea." The other delta boys said nothing, clearly trying to catch up with the sudden revelations. Haruki's face was downcast, you could see her cheeks burning a bright red. The heat radiating off her was surprisingly warm.
