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. ]

[It's true, and they should really learn how to tone it down.

One day.

He doesn't expect to be called 'Your Highness', so he ends up burning the roof of his mouth while eating, but it's probably worth it. At least he's not going for water right away.]

--'Your Highness'? You're the only royalty here though! [WATER] Anyway, it's Makocchi's so obviously it tastes good.

[And he gets ready to give her another piece of his.

... They're never going to finish eating at this rate.]

[jitensha]

[ they'll get there eventually-- or Makoto will just neatly snag her bite before he can coax her into making noises at him. Other than the happy "delicious food from attentive boyfriend" noises, but it can't be helped. ]

... That's not true. [ with quite a bit of earnestness, even. ] It's obvious I'd need a prince, right?

[ex_doubly406]

[Hey, he lives for those noises. So keep making them please. I mean--]

That's true, but if you do it, I feel like the princess instead.

[jitensha]

E-eh?? [ wow, Makoto, way to still act manly. ]

I guess I still have to work at it, if that's the feeling I'm giving off...

1/2

[ex_doubly406]

[Oh no, don't look down.]

Well, for a lovey dovey date like this, it should be more like...

[ex_doubly406]

[AHEM.]

Please allow me to reward you for your hard work, my Prince~!

[He sure does sound convincing as a girl.]

[jitensha]

Amazing... you really do sound like a princess!

[ex_doubly406]

Eh?

[He wanted to get her laughing, not have her admire his girl voice!!]

That's not quite the reaction I was going for...

[jitensha]

It's as good as the rest of you, though!

[ex_doubly406]

[O-Oh. That was a sneak attack into his heart...]

Makocchi, you're really good at that... But, please appreciate my more manly side too!

[jitensha]

[ she means well.

Just like now. ]

I do! You just sounded really good like that-- ah, but you sound really good as a guy, too!

[ex_doubly406]

I'm not sure if I should be okay with my girlfriend saying she likes me as a girl... If you were sitting a little closer I could show you.

[He's pouting but he's still feeding her with the same amount of enthusiasm.]

[jitensha]

Should I move, then?

[ ... says the one who's responding with equal enthusiasm and perhaps more innocence than one might expect at this point. ]

[ex_doubly406]

Only if you're ready!

[He says, but then--]

Ah wait, maybe I should freshen my breath first.

[jitensha]

You can finish eating, too!

[ex_doubly406]

But I need to prove my manliness!

[jitensha]

Isn't it manly to eat a healthy amount?

[ she would know, Dad's been drilling this into her since she was a wee tot. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[He thinks on this. Because man, he takes forever eating so he doesn't eat too much; because a) he doesn't take a lot in one bite and b) he talks way too much while eating. Just like now.]

I was thinking about something else...

[jitensha]

...

[ after a thoughtful pause, she moves to get out of her seat, only to sidle over to his side of the booth and slide in beside him. ]

One more bite, at least. Keeping your energy up is important!

[ex_doubly406]

[Oh Makoto what have you done.

As soon as she sits down, he leans over to give her a kiss. So it tastes of okonomiyaki yeah, but his manliness is on the line here. At least it's good okonomiyaki.

Breaking away, he gives her his million dollar smile.]

I spent a lot of energy on that, so please!

[Opening his mouth again in a classic 'feed me' pose. KISE......]

[jitensha]

[ ... it takes her a few seconds to do more than blink, a little dazedly. And for a minute, there's a certain bright-eyed expression, a clear please do that again-- but she manages to refrain. ]

Did you give it to me? I feel pretty energized now!

[ and here, Kise, have your okonomiyaki as a reward. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[He recognizes that look, and he's tempted to go for just one more if it means he can see it again...

But they're in a public place, even if it's a private booth, so he has to settle down. Oh man, the world is cruel sometimes.]

I was in the middle of defending my manliness so I'll take your word for it.

[It's a little more awkward now that they're so close, but he still insists on feeding on her gosh Kise.]

crying

[jitensha]

I promise-- [ oh, another mouthful. Well, if he's insisting, the least she can do is obediently eat what he offers. ]

I never thought you weren't manly!

not as much as me

[ex_doubly406]

[Ah. It's time for a ridiculously stupid smile.]

You mean it? Senpai's always telling me that I'm being too air-headed, and even I have to admit that he's got a really cool manly aura. But if you think so, then I'm happy about it!

[jitensha]

It's true that Kasamatsu-san's really cool... and he frowns a lot more than you do.

But! [ she holds a finger up emphatically. ] There's no one else who gets my heart going or makes me safer besides you!
