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. ]

[ she'd considered it before, wondered if there'd ever be a time when her heart didn't accelerate when he leaned in, or suddenly caught a kiss. But Makoto's coming to understand that time isn't going to remedy this. If anything, time's only made him more endearing, made her a little bolder when it came to being affectionate.

And miraculously, the kiss isn't disrupted by teammates or friends or fangirls. Not that she'd notice, when her attention's condensed to the person in front of her, and when he kisses her so carefully, there's no way she can stop herself from tipping her chin up and kissing him back. Just as softly, though odds are he can feel her smile. ]

[He's come to realize that she likes giving back as soon as he's done giving. He doesn't think he minds; after all, it means he gets one more. But given how he doesn't like hanging on to favours, it just ends up with him going at it again, the corners of his lips turning up just like hers.

Guys, you're gonna end up making out in a restaurant stop it.]

[jitensha]

[ Makoto's a firm believer of "give as good as you get", and Kise may just set the bar pretty high. But she doesn't really dwell on that, nor does she remember where they are until she realizes she's definitely kissed him more than once and her fingers are clutching at his shoulders for an instinctive balance--

O h. ]

Ryota-kun--

[ex_doubly406]

[Annnnd, stop. Okay.

He wouldn't have, but her fingers pulling at his shirt have brought him back to reality. A reality where he's leaning way into her and practically pushing her out of her seat.

Oh.]

Ah-- [He immediately leads her back with a hand on her back, other hand automatically tucking back loose strands.] Sorry Makocchi, are you okay?

[jitensha]

[ she's grateful for the ponytail (and the spray and the clips), so that it's only a few stray pieces being curled back into place as she slowly relaxes her grip and offers up a rueful, apologetic smile. ]

I'm fine! I just... remembered where we were.

[ex_doubly406]

[At that he immediately peeks out again, as if he's Super Spy Kise Ryota except not really because that's just in his head. He'd be the worst spy ever.

Anyway, everyone seems to be busy eating, and maybe the tables closer to them have noticed Makoto's ponytail sticking out a few moments ago, but he doesn't sense anything off.]

I don't think anyone's noticed... But do you think someone's hiding behind the plants?

[jitensha]

[ Makoto may not be as good as Takane when it comes to sensing someone else's proximity, no matter how well hidden, but she's at least skilled enough to be able to notice someone ducking behind some plants.

And there's no one like that when she checks, so she sighs and lowers her head to rest it on Kise's shoulder once they've both resettled. ]

I think we're safe...

[ex_doubly406]

What about under the tables? Ooh, or maybe there are cameras here?

[He's still keeping one eye outside, and at this point he's just being silly.]

[jitensha]

Want to borrow my hat?

[ so noble, Makoto. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[No Makoto, you're supposed to hit him and tell him to stop being stupid!]

That's a good idea! [He doesn't need any more prompting before he pops her hat onto his head, setting it low now that his hair's dried.] You can hardly recognize me if I do this.

[jitensha]

[ she's his girlfriend, not his senpai. ]

It's perfect! I don't think anyone'll realize unless they look really closely.

[ex_doubly406]

[You don't have to be his senpai to hit him.]

Right? I guess I'm pretty good when it comes to disguises.

[No he isn't.]

[jitensha]

As expected of a model! You could probably pull off anything.

[ that's completely different, Makoto!! ]

[ex_doubly406]

Hmm, if I have the right stylist and lighting I could... But if it's just a hat, then I can go all natural!

[jitensha]

[ she grins, reaching out to nudge the brim of his cap a little lower. ]

I like the all natural you the best, anyway!

[ex_doubly406]

[He taps the brim back up to a more manageable level, laughing.]

I really like all natural Makocchi too!

[jitensha]

Then let's stay ourselves!

... Even in disguise!

[ex_doubly406]

[Staying themselves even in disguise doesn't make much sense, but he's not about to object.]

Alright, then it's a promise!

[jitensha]

Dessert's still a promise too, right?

[ SHE WANTS TO SHARE A SPOON IT'S LIKE LIVING THE SHOUJO DREAM ]

[ex_doubly406]

Eh? Didn't we already decide on that? Strawberry ice cream, right?

[AS IF HE'D DENY HER THAT.]

[jitensha]

Not officially, but definitely! It's a good day for ice cream, too.

[ she'd only come to cheer him on, which she wasn't always able to accomplish when her job kept her busy, but she hadn't expected a new hair style and an impromptu date out of it.

She also didn't mind any of it. ]

[ex_doubly406]

That's all? I thought it was something serious... Then we are officially going for dessert.

[BECAUSE THEY'RE TOTALLY DONE EATING RIGHT.

If they weren't, they totally burnt all the okonomiyaki while they were busy kissing. Either way, he'll hold his hand out for her to take. It's ice cream tiiiime.]

[jitensha]

That is serious... [ and she mutters it a tad sullenly, even as it fades within seconds when she slips her hand into his. There's probably a moment of silence for the poor pancake they left sizzling while Kise was trying to tip her out of the booth, but they'd done well! She's sure of it! ]

[ex_doubly406]

[They... Well...

He takes a look at the pancakes that are basically half-eaten. He's not really that hungry anymore... It's a bit of a waste but he's the one paying anyway. He shrugs, about to lead her out so that he can pay.]

Only if you wanted to cancel. I would've gone back home crying.

[jitensha]

Eeeh?!

[ indoor voice, Makoto. But she looks truly stricken at this possibility. ] I'd never make you cry!
