Model Idol Combi: there's always that first date

[jitensha]

[ Makoto had heard it on the highest authority (Miki) that girls should always be fashionably late to their dates. It left the guy 'frothing with desire', or something like that. And she'd dwelt on it, she really had, even as she sifted through her closet for the sixth time.

Makoto has always been Makoto, though, and that meant she didn't feel right purposely taking her time. It's why she's waiting near the entrance-- has been waiting for ten minutes with the long black skirt and the white shirt with the artfully placed frills and the red heels that click so cutely when she walks. It's a far cry from the jeans and sweatshirts she usually runs around in.

But she'd like to think it's not bad. ]

[Well yes, but let's not go through a recap of the long 'let's pretend this never happened' episode.]

Is it working?

[Though he really wishes he had a handkerchief now.]

[jitensha]

Maybe!

[ and she breaks into a trot, tugging him along.

Yeah, she can tease. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[There we go. He lets her lead him there, though he could always take a few big steps to catch up to her. He's happy enough that it seemed to have worked and that she doesn't want to go home despite that terrible disaster.]

[jitensha]

[ it would take the park burning to the ground to get Makoto to willingly abandon ship, and even then, it wouldn't be without a fight. It's their first date, after all, and as... much as things went horribly during the haunted house, she's not going to give up.

And when they're standing in front of the massively towering coaster, it's like she's forgotten the trauma already. ]

Amazing...!

[ex_doubly406]

[As always, he's thankful for that part of her. However right now he's busy ogling at the coaster with Makoto.]

It's taller than it looked! Hey, we'll sit at the front, right?

[jitensha]

We have to! And throw our hands up!!

[ex_doubly406]

That's the right idea! [Ehehe, so excited.] Let's go line up!

[jitensha]

Roger!! [ and there she goes, pulling him along again. No one can say Makoto doesn't have incredible resilience. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[Resilient is right, she bounces back fast, and Kise can respect her for not having a sobbing fit.

So once again he lets himself be dragged along, not forgetting the customary 'after you's and all that.

They're probably going to be incredibly embarrassing and giddy once they're on.]

[jitensha]

[ you mean 'definitely', right? Because Makoto is sparkling happily while they're being secured in their seats. ]

I heard this is their fastest ride!

[ex_doubly406]

Ah, then I better hold on to my--

['Hat'. He was going to say 'hat' but then the ride started and oh boy, let's see if he loses yet another one.]

[jitensha]

[ worry not, Kise.

One hand may be in the air once they rocket off, but the other one is winding past his arm and firmly clamping down on his hat to keep it in place as much as she can. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[Well this is new. He's never ridden on a roller coaster with someone shoving his head down before. First time for everything, right?

But don't worry, he won't let her do that the whole ride, as he lowers it himself when it slows at the peak. And before they speed off again, he does manage to get in a 'thanks'.]

[jitensha]

You're welcooooooo--

[ it's the most she can squeeze out, and the rest of the time is spent laughing too happily to try and hold a decent conversation on a rollercoaster. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[He's right there laughing with her, throwing his hands up whenever it's appropriate and being a giant dork about the entire thing. Yeah he didn't laugh hard enough to start crying, but he just keeps on laughing all the way until the cars come to a halt.]

That was great! That drop just before, and the turn at the start--

[Yeah...]

[jitensha]

I know! And that part where we went upside-down was the best!

[ wow it's like two little kids here. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[Guys please, at least act like teenagers.]

I thought I might lose my sunglasses there, but then we sped by it so quick, and there was that part when there were two hills in a row too!

[jitensha]

It was amazing, wasn't it? They weren't kidding about it being the fastest!

[ex_doubly406]

Definitely! Doesn't it make you want to go on it again?

[jitensha]

Can we??

[ the producer would be gasping in exhausted horror right about now. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[Fortunately this is not the producer, this is Kise of the boundless energy.]

Of course we can, let's get in line now!

[He says before they're even out.]

[jitensha]

[ .... pfffft. ]

Ryota-kun, we have to get out first!

[ex_doubly406]

Ah-- [Oops.] I know that! I meant after we get out!

[jitensha]

Then-- ah, thanks-- [ as someone finally lifts the safety bar. ] Let's go! I like your enthusiasm.

[ex_doubly406]

[He'll help her out, even as he gets a confused pout.]

Huh? Not how princely I am?
