Stars have friends too

[tosurpassgod]

Who: Black Star and Soul
What: Basketball! Clearly the best way to vent frustration.
Where: A basketball court! So... the park I guess? There's one there, right?
When: Backdated to March 16
Warnings: None!

[Most people might not realize it, but Black Star is more than just an idiot bent on becoming stronger and surpassing God. He's that, without a doubt, but there's more to it. He's a goofball, but he's observant. He's loud and obnoxious, but he's a good friend. And when this observant good friend notices one of his in a funk for an obvious reason - the loss of his partner, of Black Star's longtime friend, the biggest star the world's ever known can't just sit idly by.

And so, after school, he's in a makeshift tanktop in front of Soul's house, both knocking at the front door and shouting loudly for his friend]

SOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUL! HEY, SOUL! GET OUT HERE!

[Stepping inside, Black☆Star takes a quick glance around, but keeps his curiosity in check. He's not here to explore Soul's temporary Mayfield house, he's here on a mission. Everything - even making himself as a big a star as possible - can wait until after the mission's done]

Nah. Tsubaki's busy and I couldn't find Kid, so it's just one on one today.

He probably stayed late at school for something.

[He closes the door behind them before heading up the stairs]

Lemme go get changed.

[tosurpassgod]

Just hurry it up!

[And until Soul returns, Black☆Star bounces anxiously from one foot to the other. Waiting sucks]

[scytheyouout]

[Deal with it. /sunglasses

In a few minutes Soul comes trotting back downstairs, appropriately dressed with a basketball tucked under his arm.]

Let's get going, dude.

[tosurpassgod]

Finally! And here I thought you got scared and ran away.

[Black☆Star sure has a strange way of showing affection, huh. And they're off, to the basketball court! And it's while they're on the way that he finally becomes a little more serious]

It's hard, huh.

[scytheyouout]

[This was going to come up eventually. Black☆Star why you do this. He doesn't want to talk about it.]

... It sucks.

[tosurpassgod]

[He's quiet for a moment, but sorry Soul, he's not about to just let it drop]

Do you remember any of it? What happened when you left?

[scytheyouout]

[Soul shakes his head, rubbing the back of his neck]

Not at all, dude.

[tosurpassgod]

[He thinks for a moment, then nods in agreement with himself]

Then when she gets back, she won't remember it either. That's good.
