BAKUGAN BRAWL!

AjYEET: Magnus take your earphones out, stop listening to anime openings and join in the conversation challenge

I hate formalities: agree- why text it though-?

AjYEET: e a r p h o n e s

AjYEET: m u s i c

I hate formalities: oh----

Magnus: ...

In real life.

Magnus pulled his earphones out and folded then away. Slightly frustrated that he was supposed to join in a conversation. There were two going on. One was between Aay, Kurin and Riot that was mostly just them teasing and irritating each other. The other was between Dan, Lia and Wynton. Shun and Emily were both listening and laughing at that conversation. Magnus had no idea what they were talking about but they seemed to be laughing a lot.

The only other ones not involved in a conversation were ironically enough, Ajit and Noah. True to what he had told Magnus, Ajit had climbed up a tree when they'd all arrived and hadn't come down since. As for Noah, he was constantly typing on his phone. Deciding he should try talking to someone before Ajit exposes him again, he moved from his position against the tree he'd been leaning against to sit next to Noah. "...Hey." He muttered, half hoping Noah wouldn't hear him. "Oh Magnus!" He looked up surprised. "You actually listened to us!" He laughed "What's up?"

"Hm... Now I've put my phone away, not a lot. What are you doing?" He questioned, staring down at the other boy's phone screen. "Oh! Uh I've just been writing a fanfic... It's a uh hobby of mine... I guess..." Noah admitted slowly. Keeping his eyes focused on the grass. "Huh, can I see?" The ravenette asked. "Well sure! I guess...- It's probably not any good though." He scrolled back up to the top of the page before handing Magnus his phone. The two fell silent for a minute while Magnus read through the writing. When he finished reading it he handed back the phone. "That's.. Really good Noah. By any chance, do you post these online?"

"Oh, yeah-!" The shorter boy laughed awkwardly. "I sometimes post them on my Wattpad."

"What's the name of your account?"

"It's um, 'starfishronpa' I had the idea for Danganronpa with starfish when trying to change my name and- yeah-"

"I'm honestly not sure whether I should be more concerned about that name or by the fact that I follow you."

"YOU WHAT?!"

"Yeah." Magnus clarified before adding "Y'know I've been meaning to ask you a question." Noah blinked "Huh?"

"You've watched and played Danganronpa right?" Magnus asked, keeping his face blank, "Yeah..? Of course I have! What about it?"

"Hope or despair." He asked, biting back a smirk at the question that divided the Danganronpa fandom. Noah stared at him for a few seconds before a smile spread across his face and in a near perfect impression of Junko Enoshima he replied "Well despair of course! I'm not like Komdeda or Naegi, I live for despair... That pure despair you feel when faced with a catastrophe..? That is what I love."

...

"PFFT-"

The two continued to talk, starting up a conversation about fanfiction and anime which Shun was quick to join in on. While the three were talking Ajit climbed down from the tree to grab a cookie. Overhearing part of the conversation between Riot, Aay and Kurin as he did so.

"So Kurin? What's your sexuality again?" Riot asked, biting back a grin. "I told you, I'm not sure. I don't know who I'm attracted to I'm always too busy with other things to think about that but I know I'm asexual." He replied fiddling with a blade of grass.
