January Catch-All; Open and Closed
Who; Shinjiro and you
What; Various scenarios throughout the month
Where; Varies depending on scenario
When; Varies
Warnings: None so far, but will update as necessary.
Prompts are in comments. If you'd like a specific scene with Shinjiro, or something closed, shoot me a message on discord at vikael or just message this journal and I'll throw something up or we can hash something out.
Also, I'm totally down with people tagging multiple prompts, or with multiple characters :)

Well, I ain't just sayin' it.
[ There she was again, responding in that carefully crafted, measured tone of hers that she reserved for moments when she didn't know what to say, so she said what she was taught to say. That wasn't his point here, and he wasn't going to stand for it. He'd put her through enough without leaving her to assume he'd meant something polite instead of something he felt. ]
I don't give a shit what most people think of me. I do my own thing, you know that. [ He took a breath before continuing. ] But I care about you. I care that you work your ass off when everybody else is slackin' off. I care you spend all your time workin' for somebody else's agenda and nobody notices, and I care you're always stuck cleanin' up somebody else's mess. Including mine.
[ He still wasn't being clear, he could tell, so he squared his jaw, meeting her eyes. ]
What I mean is I'm tired of you havin' to do it alone, and you won't anymore, not here anyway, if you'll let me. We're a team, and not just in combat.

[ The words came out stilted and awkward. Mitsuru was never one to not know what to say, at least not when a situation required grand speeches or chastising. More personal matter however.... those she often found herself struggling with. She meets his eyes for a few seconds and then shook her head. ]
Those are things I've never minded doing. It's my duty as a Kirijo and as a Kirijo, your mess was also our mess. [ There was still no changing her mind that at least some of the fault in what happened with him lay with her. ]
We are a team. [ There was just a bit of confusion in her voice, as though she felt like she was missing something that she should have been clear to her. ] I didn't believe that was in question.

He clenched his fists at her explanation, shaking his head. ]
No, damn it. You wanted to help because we're friends, and I walked out on that.
[ He'd done worse than that. ]
It was just us. You, me, Aki. Nobody else knew what we were goin' through and...I abandoned that. [ He met her eyes. ] You. You were alone 'til we came along, and I left you. [ He paused, taking a breath before finishing. ] I can't apologize for it, but I'm sorry either way.
