Makotos gonna Makoto

[jitensha]

[ She's endured various levels of teasing and embarrassing questions from her fellow idols for this moment. Azusa, at least, had been encouraging (and equally embarrassing when she'd insisted on doing fortune-telling for the day) and now Makoto surveys the set-up with a proud nod. A one-year anniversary was nothing to scoff at, and with her parents out of town for the weekend (something she suspected her mother had coordinated for certain reasons), it was the perfect time and place to invite her boyfriend over. Just for a night. But she's actually cooked (ramen and some other things involving chopped vegetables and several band-aids) and cleaned and there are non-scented candles (because her dad still decreed them unmanly) around and she is so bound and determined to make this good.

Worse comes to worst, she has a whole stack of movies they can power through.

Makoto waits outside her house now, clad in a longer black skirt and one of her favorite tops, white with frills down the middle. All right. She's got this.

Hopefully. ]

Of course! Mom kind of... uh, hinted to tell you hello.

[ But she'll usher him in. Don't mind the candles. ]

[makotoned]

[...ah.... he looks sheepish in response to that, rubbing the back of his head, but he manages a smile even as they wander insider.]

Oh--r-really?

Um, well. Tell her hello for me too, please...

[Hopefully without the awkward and blushing.]

[jitensha]

I will! She really likes seeing you, but she also said something about alone time...

[makotoned]

[...you're going to kill him, Makoto.]

A-alone time?!

[WHY...he's so red right now.]

Let's...! Maybe we should...start dinner?

[please stop killing him]

[jitensha]

[ ... oops. ]

R-right! Dinner!! Um, sorry, I didn't know you were hungry--

[makotoned]

[DARLING NO... he was just trying to pick something less awkward. So, sheepishly--]

Honestly, I'm fine with whatever you have planned. Don't worry, Makoto-chan. I'm sure whatever it is will be great.

[Mostly because it's with her.]

[jitensha]

It will! I'm definitely going to make sure you enjoy yourself!

[makotoned]

[SHE'S SO ENTHUSIASTIC..... he can't help but chuckle at that, and--]

I'm sure I'll enjoy myself, since it's with you. [just saying.] But I hope I can do my part as well.
