Chiaki stomped a square to indicate “Ready.”  “…Never?  That’s…umm…surprising…I think…”  How in the world has no one…ack!  What am I thinking???  Chiaki debated a bit, getting into the groove of the current track, before finally saying quietly, “…I never have, either…”  It hadn’t ever bothered her in the past, so what was making her stomach flip over now?

“That’s really surprising.” He said, crossing his arms and looking to the side. “People normally think I’m too weird. Mainly cause I have accidents from my nearsightedness....” He explained, matching the notes perfectly.

shsl-gamer-rper:

This is what happens when you think you’re being casual/subtle and you’re not.  “…Has anyone raised your flag for the holiday coming up?”  Whelp…that was about as subtle as dropping a piano, and was a bit too open to misinterpretation, but once the words were out of her mouth, there wasn’t a whole lot she could do about it.  Then again, she only had a bit over a week to decide if she was giving anyone “favorite” chocolate rather than “obligatory,” and with the way she lost track of time anyway…

I’m overthinking everything again…I think…  But if he’s expecting something from another girl, that would be…really bad…if I did anything besides “obligation” chocolate…

“…Erm, if that question was rude, you don’t have to answer…I think…  We can just start the next song if you want…”  It might have been harder to tell with the colored lights in the arcade, but Chiaki’s cheeks had a hint of pink in them.

The gamer paused for a moment, blushing slightly. He shook his head slowly. “I haven’t gotten a valentine yet.” He said, moving to pick the next song. “I’ve never had one before actually.

shsl-gamer-rper:

“…Yeah, um…”  The note left on her desk earlier today was still weighing on her mind, of course, so she was spending less mental effort on DDR and more effort on putting sentences together, (hopefully without being too obvious.)

“…I just had something on my mind…I think…”  That sounded articulate…not.  How do people get other people to open up???  Heck, Chiaki couldn’t even answer that question for herself!  “How are you doing today, Souda-kun?”

“I’m fine.” He said, finishing the song before looking at her. “You’re sure you’re okay?” He asked, tilting his head a bit. He felt concerned for her, she was acting strange.

Chiaki’s never been great at approaching people, and Kaz looked busy, so she would just try and slide in as Player 2 on the adjacent machine, on Hard mode for a warm-up.  (She’d learned the hard way about not properly warming up before playing DDR!)

He’d probably guess who was next to him quickly enough, even without his glasses covering his side vision, and they could engage in pleasantries when it wouldn’t interfere with gaming, dangit!  Game first!  Okay, someone’s priorities maybe needed work…  Or maybe that was just the excuse she made for herself so she wouldn’t have to admit to being too chicken to greet her own classmate that she saw every day at school anyway, but…  Why am I like this?

“Hey, Nanami.” The gamer responded before even looking at her. “You okay?” He asked, his eyes focused on the game. He didn’t even seem to be trying. He had actually memorized the moves and focused more on the timing than anything else.

The gamer was indeed still at the arcade, currently playing one of the DDR games. He actually wore his glasses this time so he could see the screen.

Merry Christmas - Blue

“.............. It’s so cute......” He held the plushie close and hugged it. “Thank you, so much!”

[artifxcialtears]

“I know the custom is different here then in Canada, but I wanted to give you a, well, platonic gift for Christmas.” She presented to him a small packaged key chain. “I didn’t want to risk getting you a game you already had, so I got a little keychain from that game we played that one time." 

The gamer smiled wider than he probably had in forever. “I love it!” His grin stayed as he spun around happily. It was the most energetic he’d been in front of the other. “Thank you so much!”

> Down three, press X

Chiaki was still awaiting her food when a familiar face bumped into her.  “Souda-kun!”  When she realized he’d lost his glasses, she immediately turned onto the floor the same vision that could instantly find things in puzzle games.  “Ah!  Here they are!”  Chiaki reached for Souda’s hand with one hand and his glasses with the other, pressing his glasses into his palm.  She reached into her skirt pocket for the cloth she used to clean fingerprints from her gaming portables.  “Here, you can clean them off with this.”  The fellow gamer smiled warmly, “I’m glad they weren’t broken, Souda-kun.”

“Ah! Nanami!” The pinkette male smiled at her before cleaning his glasses before putting them on. He smiled before gripping his bags, obviously a bit more relaxed knowing it was someone he knew. 

“...... You getting dinner as well?”

❥  Kneel down and help him look

“H-hey let me help you out!”

She kneeled over down and looked around on the floor carefully trying to look for anything that looked like glasses or at least anything that seemed like what the other was looking for.

[artifxcialtears]

The gamer froze for a moment, a bit surprised someone was willing to help before he nodded and looked back towards the ground. He chewed his lips a bit before his hand came across what he was looking for. 

“Thank.... Thank you.” He said, pushing his glasses onto his face and looking at her.

“Oh! I’m sorry.” 

Flynn knelt down to the floor, quickly searching for the eyeglasses along with him. He can only feel sympathy for the other, being one who has to deal with glasses on the daily himself.  With his host family both at work, he was just here looking for dinner but instead found him running into someone around his age.

“Did you see where they fell? Your glasses, I mean.”

He looked around more. They couldn’t have gone far, right- was that it? He reached for what he can assume was the other’s glasses.

The gamer looked towards the other male and shook his head. “I can’t see well enough to tell where they fell.” Kazuichi sighed and felt around more. It wasn’t a case of he was panicking because he couldn’t see. He was panicking because his father would be pissed if anything happened to the glasses. 

“........ Thank you....” He mumbled a thanks to the male and he felt his hand touch his glasses, quickly putting them on. He noticed some dirt on them before looking at the other. He pulled them off and cleaned them as best he could with his glasses.

Event 1

The gamer held his bags tightly, looking around. He’d just spent a few hours at the mall, looking through games and music, mainly for his brother, as well as some new headphones. He sighed a bit and pushed his glasses up, making sure that they didn’t fall off.

He walked out the door and heading down towards his home before noticing what time it was. He chewed his lip before heading towards one of the local fast food places. He had a bit of money left over, making sure he could have some dinner. 

He ordered his dinner before turning around to wait for his food before bumping into someone, his glasses falling off. He freaked a bit before kneeling down and feeling around for his glasses. 

What do you do?

Stare at him as he looks

Laugh and walk away

Kneel down and help him look

[artifxcialtears]

So it was Nanami-san. The gamer blushed and looked down, shoving his hands in his pockets, only feeling his face turn a deeper shade of red.

[artifxcialtears]

He could be forgiven for thinking this must be the first time the anon's ever kissed a boy. It's timid, nervous, scared, but also warm and caring, and the mouth almost feels like it's in a smile. A tone goes off indicating a Pokemon has been found, but it doesn't sound like it's coming from his phone. The anon gasps, and it sounds female. "Gotta catch them all" she whispers as she scampers off.

The gamer, blinking a few times and shaking his head a bit, wiping his nearly blind eyes as he looked around. That voice sounded familiar as he put his fingers to his mouth after pulling his glasses out. “……. Nanami-san?” Was that Nanami?

[alannasroleplaymemes-moved]

Give my Muse a kiss on Anon, but leave them hints as to who it was from!

Kisses can be platonic, romantic, familial, etc.!

“Chores….?”  That probably said a lot about the state of her room…  “But you gotta do it or you lose approval points, right?  You can’t lose approval with your brother…I think….”  Chiaki didn’t understand that stuff much, especially as an only child.  “What’s going on this weekend?  Besides Pokemon Sun and Moon…  Oh yeah, which one did you get?”

Kazuichi chuckled a bit. “I pre-ordered both..... Gonna play them non stop once I get them.... Well besides school.....” He scratched his cheek and looked at her. “You.... wanna get them together?” He asked, shoving his hands in his pockets again.

The gamer looked down at the smaller male before smiling a bit and nodded. “It’s…. okay….” he said, looking at her with his hands in his pockets. “….. I…. should have been looking where I was going….” He looked at her. “….. Nanami right?”

The other gamer seemed to brighten a bit; she was more used to, “Hey you!  Watch where you’re going!” and being forgotten just as quickly.  “Yeah!  You’re Souda-san…I think…”  Naturally, she was playing Galaga.  “Played anything new lately?”  She figured if there was anyone on this campus that SHOULDN’T be offended by her gaming and conversing at the same time, it was Souda, but it was probably still a habit she should break…  Oh well…

“Not really.... Been replaying some of my other games until this weekend.” He smiled a bit sadly. “Besides.... Zuki’s been making me help with chores.....” He sighed and hung his head. “They’re boring....” He said, pushing his glasses back up.

The Gamer curled up on his bed after putting his phone to the side. He pulled his game out, before getting up, grabbing his glasses and going on a walk. He wasn’t even in a mood to play games.

Chiaki was engaging in her baaaad habit of walking with her nose buried in her PSP.  When she first bumped into Kaz, she didn’t seem to even realize it, just playing away.  Eventually she looked up, slightly embarased.  “Oh…hi…I’m sorry…I think…”

The gamer looked down at the smaller male before smiling a bit and nodded. “It’s.... okay....” he said, looking at her with his hands in his pockets. “..... I.... should have been looking where I was going....” He looked at her. “..... Nanami right?”
