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. ]

[OR IS IT.]

I think we're talking about different things here...

[However, before she can say anything about that, he's taken a hold of her shoulders and starts pushing her toward wherever he thinks the games are.]

But an order's an order! Let's go!

[jitensha]

I'm going, I'm going!

[ this is the most romantic date ever. Getting guided by the shoulders over to the game booths. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[So romantic, what girl wouldn't be swooning.

But okay no, things will take a more romantic turn as when they get there, the first thing Kise says is:]

Which one do you want? I'll get any prize for you.

[jitensha]

Eh-- any? [ but oh no all the stuffed animals are REALLY CUTE... cue an indecisive fluster. ]

[ex_doubly406]

Yep, any! Just name it!

[He'll wait! Though he's obviously raring to go.]

[jitensha]

Then... [ and she finally points at the giant white fluffy teddy bear gracing one of the stands. ] That one! My other one's probably lonely at the office.

[ex_doubly406]

Ooh, the bear? That's cute!

[He'll be making his way over there, not a care in the world. I mean, this is him he'll probably get it no problem right? Right.

Aw yeah, time to show off.]

[jitensha]

[ don't show off too much and earn yourself another fanclub, Kise. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[But this is what he does??? It's standard Kise behaviour to show off.

And luckily for them, the game doesn't involving dancing. It's your standard darts and balloon game that Kise's already paying for.]

Alright, just watch! I'll get it in one try!

[jitensha]

Okay! You can do it, Ryota-kun!

[ not that he needs the support, but she can't help it. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[Out of habit he throws one of his fanservice smiles her way before focusing on the balloons, not realizing that he'd even done it.

But okay, the balloon yes. Different from basketball obviously, but he's fairly sure he can manage to hit the correct balloons for the grand prize. At least he's watched enough people throwing darts to know how to throw them.]

[jitensha]

[ ah, the fanservice smile. Never fails to make a girl's knees go weak. Or, in Makoto's case, it never fails to make her thoughtful, even as she smiles as she watches him take aim. He looks a little formidable. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[Well he's not going to start glowing yellow, but he's focused enough to block out the sounds around him.

He steps back, gives himself a little nod, then throws his first dart.

Naturally, it doesn't miss.]

[jitensha]

--!

[ wow it's like watching the producer shoot zombies.

Only completely different, but the sense of impressed awe is the same. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[Hey, maybe he could shoot zombies too.

Anyway, that first hit seems to have added to his confidence, as the next few are thrown in rapid succession of each other until he's holding onto his last one.

No misses so far, and he's planning to keep it that way.]

[jitensha]

[ ... her boyfriend is so cool. She'll just keep quiet, and hold her breath-- not that she needs to, but she can't help it. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[Now say that to his face and watch him sparkle-- I mean.

He steps back again, taking his time with this one. He's fairly sure he's got this, but a wrong flick of the wrist would mean no bear for Makoto. And with everything that hasn't been going right on this date, he'd like to make sure that at least this one thing is the one that goes perfectly.

So please don't miss!]

[jitensha]

[ hey, nothing's caught on fire and no one's been late and there have been no injuries, so it hasn't been that bad. Kise could probably use this victory, though, if just for his own sake. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[He doesn't miss.

But instead of cheering right away, he actually breathes a sigh of relief. He'd been working himself up to a worry for a moment.

He lets all of that wash away with a breath, turning to give Makoto a thumbs up.]

How was that?! I didn't miss a single one!

[jitensha]

[ and she is... sparkling, in a way that finally doesn't attract girls in flocks. Maybe it's the skirt. ]

That was amazing! You were so cool, Ryota-kun!!

[ex_doubly406]

[He's no stranger to girls fawning over him whenever he shows off, but this is pretty nice. In a different way; the same way she looks different in a skirt and blouse.]

Really? Thanks, I made sure to concentrate super hard for you!

[jitensha]

I could tell! You were entirely focused, weren't you?

[ex_doubly406]

Well I didn't want to miss, or I wouldn't be able to get you what you wanted!

[Which reminds him, he should be taking that bear huh.]

[jitensha]

I would have been happy that you tried so hard, anyway.

[ but the bear is a very nice bonus and look at how bright her eyes are getting because that bear looks SO FLUFFY.... ]

[ex_doubly406]

[Oh man, that's really cute; she's like radiating happiness.] That wouldn't have been enough for me in this case. You deserve more than that.

[So he's happy to hand that bear to her. Of course not before]

But it kind of looks like me, doesn't it? [Look at him doing a model pose with it. Kise stop, you're gonna attract the fangirls.] So think of it as me please, and take good care of it!
