Model Idol Combi: Hair

[jitensha]

[ it's rare that she can garner enough time away from a packed schedule and her own school hours to drop by Kaijou, but even if it's just a practice match, Makoto likes to faithfully attend what she can. She's always liked basketball, so growing closer to Kise had only made that fondness stronger. It's fun to watch them get into the game, and it's fun to lose herself cheering for them.

But it's warmer today than it's been all week, and with the hat crammed over her head to hide her identity (she so optimistically felt), it was doing little to cool her head off. Strands were starting to stick to her neck.

... In a sense, it's a happy realization, that her hair was growing longer by the day, but for now, it was a little bit troubling. Still, she waits until the court's cleared out, enough of Kise's squealing crowd dissipating to allow her to sweep her hat off and try to salvage her hair.

It's a shame she can't see what she's doing. ]

A lot of people find that way too personal to be doing in public, and it might bother-- I'm not thinking about anything else!

[ex_doubly406]

I didn't mean it like that! Um you see it on the street all the time, don't you? Unless we walked into a conservative one, it should be fine. We'll ask for a private booth too!

[jitensha]

... You're getting into the idea, aren't you?

[ex_doubly406]

Eh? [Yeah Miracle Worker Ryota is getting a bit red.] It's not fair if you put it like that...

[jitensha]

[ it's rare to see him flustered, and she grins, squeezing his hand. ]

Will I get fouled for that?

[ex_doubly406]

[That was totally uncool. He pretends to clear his throat, using that as an excuse to look away for a moment.]

No, it might be true so I won't.

[jitensha]

... If it's a private booth, I think it should be okay...

[ex_doubly406]

[Oh no, the puppy mode is starting to boot up...]

Really Makocchi? It's okay? You want to?

[jitensha]

[ o-oh no, not that... ]

Mm! [ her face is starting to color, but she laughs as she dips her head. ] I want to, Ryota-kun.

[ex_doubly406]

[Ehe... Look at this stupidly happy face.]

Okay! Let's have a great date, Makocchi! I'll even feed you if you want me to, and we have to get dessert afterwards!

[Yepp, puppy mode is on and there is no off switch.]

[jitensha]

[ oh no why is her boyfriend so cute?! ]

Of course we're going to get dessert afterwards! And we're sharing a spoon, if it's like that!

[ex_doubly406]

[They even share a spoon?! WHOA THAT'S SO CUTE??]

Makocchi's the best!

[Have a tackle from your cute boyfriend. Except not really because that'd knock her off her feet, so it's more like he crouches down to give her a bear hug, letting his cheek rub against hers.]

[jitensha]

[ she's a sucker for affection, Kise Brand especially, which is why Makoto's perfectly okay nuzzling back against his cheek.

Granted, they're also alone in here, so it's not as though she needs to worry about the two of them getting caught out of disguise. ]

We should get going, though... [ reluctantly, but still, food and being lovey dovey!! ]

[ex_doubly406]

Right right, we can't let anything stop us from our date!

[Hands on her shoulder, he steers her out eagerly. You can practically see him wagging his tail.


And let us assume that he managed to pack up all his wonderful amazing beauty products sometime beforehand.]

[jitensha]

[ of course he did, because he's Kise, and let's also assume they made it to the restaurant without getting spotted by any crazed fans, because that would just spoil the mood.

... Okay, so maybe Makoto has to nudge them into alleys at times to avoid being recognized, but it's not too bad. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[At least they didn't have to break out into a run.

So let us also assume that they managed to get a private booth without too much fuss from the hostess once they turned on their sparkles and asked her very nicely to keep quiet.

And Kise will peek out from said private booth, giving the whole place a once over.]

... This is pretty good, even I wouldn't stand out.

[jitensha]

[ Makoto's not quite tall enough to take in the whole place, but from what she can see, it's perfect. So she withdraws back into the booth with a relieved sigh. ]

It'll be nice to not have to worry about that, right?

[ex_doubly406]

[He settles back into his seat, smiling.]

Yep, we had some close calls on the way, but it looks like we're safe! [THEY'RE ALONE SO HE CAN TURN UP HIS SPARKLES TO MAX RIGHT] Now I can concentrate on you.

[jitensha]

[ thank god she's mostly immune to the blinding effect.

Other days, she feels sorry for the ladies she inadvertently swooned, since she now understands their feelings. ]

Don't forget the food, Ryota-kun.

[ex_doubly406]

How could I forget the food when Makocchi's hungry?

[He's rolling up his sleeves, spatula in hand. Let him dazzle you with his okonomiyaki cooking skills...

... Which he has none of but whatever man, at least he looks good doing it.]

[jitensha]

Aren't you--

[ ... oh, well. She can be sufficiently wowed by how pretty he looks scraping together a pancake. And she'll cheer him on like it's some big competition instead of... okonomiyaki cooking. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[No don't do that, he'll just get way too into it!!!

Look at him trying to flip it and... not doing that great. Tossing his beautiful hair while he pouts wondering why that didn't go like he expected.]

That's weird... Didn't Kagamicchi say to do it like that... Ah, I wish I was watching...

[jitensha]

Ah, I think you've got to flick your wrist a little faster. You almost had it, though!

[ too many times spent in places like this back when jobs were scarce and idols were hungry... ]

[ex_doubly406]

Oh, you know how to do it?

[He scrapes up the ruined pancake, dropping it onto his plate before passing the spatula to Makoto.] Can you show me?

[jitensha]

I'm not as good as Hibiki, but I'll try!

[ and she says it with a modest laugh, even as she's already scraping at the edges to gather up her ingredients and working on forming the pancake. It doesn't take long, and then she deftly scoops the spatula underneath it and turns her wrist almost simultaneously.

And that, Kise, is how you flip okonomiyaki. ]
