MORE AONO IDIOTS
[Idiots. All of them.
Bon was tired. After a day of tending to the sick, as well as tending to family obligations, there was not much else to do but take a bath and sleep. But there was so much to worry about: the mess with Todo, where this sickness was coming from, Rin's demon heritage...
Bon frowned. Rin was a constant worry. As if there weren't enough troubles in Bon's life already, now there was one more idiot to worry about. He was lazy, he was stupid, and he happened to be the son of Bon's sworn enemy, the one Bon was going to defeat.
But somehow, Bon couldn't be mad at him. Mad at the lies, yes, but not at Rin's heritage. He couldn't help it, right? It wasn't like a child could do anything about who their parents were. Rin was at fault just as much as Bon was at fault for the Suguro family problems.
Speaking of family problems...
Bon looked left, then right. Nobody else was in the changing room. Good. Carefully, Bon lifted up the sweater and shirt, and carefully pulled them off. The bindings on her chest were still holding strong, though they were becoming uncomfortable as time passed. She was growing, she figured. Pretty soon she would no longer be small-chested enough for bandages, and she would have to use actual bras.
It wasn't that she was uncomfortable with being a girl. No, Bon was fine with that. But what she wasn't fine with was all the assumptions that went along with it. Girls did this. Girls did that. Girls didn't get their ears pierced, or dyed their hair, or acted in the way Bon always had.
Bon wasn't about to change who she was just because society told her to, but the pressure was on her. Especially since she was a scholarship student, too: Nobody expected a tomboy to be tough and smart. So, it had just been easier to hide her gender under bandages and pants. It was only three years, after all. Once she graduated and got her Meister, how she acted wouldn't matter at all. Once she was an exorcist, nobody could take that away from her. She could be who she wanted.
But for now, she could pretend to be a boy. Shima and Koneko knew, by virtue of having grown up with her. Her teachers (including Yukio) and the staff at the school knew, since her actual gender was listed on her school records. But everyone else? They had no clue.
At least, as long as nobody saw her topless, they wouldn't know. Hopefully no idiot boys would wander in to the changing room and stumble upon her in her half-dressed state.]

[Wow such children]

[They're going to get yelled at for making so much noise at this rate...]

[And in a huff, she rolls over so that her back is to Rin, and she pulls the blanket over her head.]
no subject
Hey, Bon. Why d'you dye your hair, anyway?
[Random subject change!]

[He finally flops back down on his side next to her, letting out a sigh.]
... I'm sorry I was such a pain in the ass when we first met. I didn't really know how to act around other people.
no subject
I'm...I thought you were just a loser who didn't belong in the cram school. I thought you'd gotten in by buying your way in, or something, and that you didn't really give a shit about learning anything.
[It's not quite an 'I'm sorry,' but the tone shows that she knows her assumptions were at least partly wrong.]
no subject
I'm just not any good at it, but I didn't have a choice. It was become an exorcist or... let them kill me.
no subject
I didn't know that's what was going on. Why do they want to kill you so badly? Is it because of who your dad is?
no subject
Other half demons are okay 'cause they're usually related to some one lesser, but my dad bein' Satan... that's a huge problem for them. Especially since so many people see me as bein' "out of control".
It's not like I fuckin' knew growin' up, though. All of this is new to me, but they act like I've made some choice to be like this!
no subject
[Bon hasn't forgotten that time in the forest.]
...But not this time. You're stronger now. Even they should be able to see that, right?
no subject
