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. ]

[And he smiles right back. No regrets, yepp. Following his instincts and asking her out was a good thing, he's sure of it.]

By the way, how are you getting home? I can't have you go around like that without some help.

[jitensha]

The bus-- I won't have to carry them for that long, so it should be fine!

[ex_doubly406]

But, what about after? I should go with you!

[jitensha]

Ryota-kun, isn't that out of your way? It'll take you even longer to get home.

[ex_doubly406]

It's not like I have anything to do when I get there.

[He's already moving to take that bag from her.]

[jitensha]

... It's not midnight yet. [ half to herself, though she lets him liberate the bag and shifts Ryota #2 to a more comfortable grip. ]

[ex_doubly406]

Exactly! So we've got plenty of time!

[jitensha]

I won't keep you that long, though! It's better if you don't stay out too late.

[ex_doubly406]

It's only up to your house, right? That's not a problem!

[jitensha]

Okay! Then I'll borrow you for a little while longer!

[ex_doubly406]

You mean I'll be borrowing you!

[But he follows her along happy to have gotten his way. Can you see him practically wagging his tail.]

[jitensha]

You're returning me first, though!

[ and yes, she can. And yes, it's adorable. She honestly doesn't know why he says no one appreciates his enthusiasm when he's this cute about it. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[No one appreciate it because he's so annoying about it.]

Well Makocchi rental is expensive, you see. Anyway, this is a good time to review the day! So tell me which part was your favourite! Mine was the ferris wheel for sure!

[jitensha]

-- Ah, is it okay to say the same one? There were a lot of fun parts, but...

[ex_doubly406]

'Course it's okay if you like the same one-- ah, but keep going, what about it?

[jitensha]

The roller coaster and the water ride were both really fun, and it had an exciting feel to the whole thing! And I liked seeing your determination at the games... it's just the ferris wheel made me feel the closest to you.

[ex_doubly406]

[One day Makoto, you're really going to kill him. You're going to kill him by being entirely too honest.]

Um... [COUGH COUGH oh god this is like an attack from the rear.] You really didn't hold back...

[jitensha]

O-oh. [ she really should learn subtlety. ] Was that too much?

[ex_doubly406]

It...

[It's definitely a foul, his mind screams. Just give him a moment.]

But that's just how you are.

[jitensha]

Maybe I'm the one who's too much.

[ex_doubly406]

Maybe... [Nnngh.] But it's not like I hate it. Just a warning next time?

[jitensha]

That I'm being honest?

[ex_doubly406]

Aren't you always honest? I mean a warning when you decide to be... [What's the word for this...] Um, more sincere?

[jitensha]

I'll try to remember.

[ex_doubly406]

... Hey, are you taking this seriously? This is a big deal, it decides whether I'll live to see another day and walk you home!
