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. ]

[BUT THIS IS WHAT HE WOULD DO WITH ALL HIS GUY FRIENDS...]

No, you're definitely warm. You didn't have to come out if you weren't feeling well.

[jitensha]

[ Kise, understandably, it's hard, but please remember she isn't a guy friend.

Also oh god who gets a fever out of distress ]

I wouldn't have ki-- [ cashier agh ABORT ] Let's just go, please?

[ex_doubly406]

[He's just being concerned you don't need to get all sarcastic wow!!!

But uh okay why so insistent all of a sudden...]

Ah, sure hold on... [Let him just get the change from the cashier, and they'll be on their way to the door. As soon as they're out of earshot though, he leans in to whisper.]

What's wrong? [... OH omg.] Did you see a fan??

[jitensha]

[ god it'd be so easy to say yes, and it probably wouldn't even be a lie, but as this is Makoto, and she can't really lie anywhere near convincingly, she's stuck being her usual truthful self. ]

Mm-mm. [ a soft sigh. ] I didn't want to risk getting seen by one if I was talking about kissing you, though.

[ex_doubly406]

Eh? [Omg Kise stop being dumb please.] What are you talking about? We were talking about you being sick. By the way, let's pick up some medicine and I'll walk you home after.

[jitensha]

...

I'm really not sick.

[ex_doubly406]

That won't work on me, I already felt your forehead. [He's serious about this huh.]

[jitensha]

That's because I was embarrassed! [ Kise, don't get all serious now. ]

[ex_doubly406]

Embarrassed?

[...

Oh.]

Makocchi, I just touched your forehead. [Okay sorry, he has to laugh.] You're really cute about that.

[jitensha]

I-it's not funny! I wasn't expecting that at all...

[ yes, she sounds indignant, but he called her cute, and she's torn whether to be happy about that or-- yeah, okay, she's red again, kise pls. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[No mercy.]

But it was just your forehead! I didn't think you were that shy, it's almost out of character. Ah, actually-- [He stops right in front of her, peering into her face.] Close your eyes!

[jitensha]

Close my-- why?

[ Kise, that's a little suspicious. ]

[ex_doubly406]

Just for a second. Hurryyy~ we're blocking up the street!

[It's all for the sake of the greater good, trust him.]

[jitensha]

[ she still looks a tad unsure, but okay, sure, she'll close her eyes. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[As soon as she does, he quickly places his hand on her forehead again.

It does feel cooler than in the restaurant.]

So it wasn't a fever after all...

[jitensha]

I told you it wasn't.

[ and thankfully, she's not anywhere as flushed this time, opening one eye to look at him with a small pout. ] If I was sick, you'd know.

[ because likely she would have pushed herself too much and collapsed somewhere. ]

[ex_doubly406]

Just making sure! I was really worried, you know, what if you collapsed on me? That'd be scary!

[But with that out of the way, he lets his hand fall. Despite what he's saying, he's very happily leading her to where her shoujo ice cream eating dreams lie.]

[jitensha]

You were the one saying scary stuff!

[ but she's letting him lead her, because after this, she really needs her shoujo ice cream moment. ]

[ex_doubly406]

Now now, you don't need to worry since I'd never let that happen!

[Kise you're not a doctor what.]

[jitensha]

I'm not worried.

[ so matter-of-fact now. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[What a flat reaction.]

Makocchi, you're supposed to say something like 'I'm so moved!' or 'That was so cool, Ryota-kun!'

[jitensha]

But I already know you'd look out for me. That's one reason why I love you.

1/3 gross sobbing

[ex_doubly406]

[L-Love--]

[ex_doubly406]

[STOP GOING AFTER HIS HEART, HE'S GONNA DIE EARLY.

Okay no calm down. Except now he's all too aware of how her hand fits into his, or how the loose strands from her ponytail curl around the nape of her neck.

This is terrible.]

[ex_doubly406]

Um we're in public right now and...

[... He can't even finish that, so he just lowers his hat.]
