“Thanks for saying that Tomoko.” And Ruby gave a soft smile at the other, before deciding to seat herself again and remind the other. “Eat your food and drink please. Otherwise they’ll get cold…As for the reason for why I am so nice.” And the Rose remarked/added to herself. “Let’s just say there are far too many assholes on this planet. I may as well be one of the good people, no?”

[awkotacomoko-blog]

Those were certainly words Tomoko could get behind, she thought as she went ahead and started eating. Her gaze lifted every so often as she ate and drank so she could confirm that Ruby was indeed still there, the girl remaining just the slightest bit worried that she could up and leave at any time. She searched her head for a talking point to keep things moving along, forcing herself to be just that much less awkward for a moment to engage Ruby on her own accord. “W-where are you from? Your name... er... it isn’t Japanese, right?”

Yang then smirked as she began to slowly remove her coat, showing off her metallic arm as well as the weapons that were contained within it. “You wanted to see something cool like this right? Well then I’ll tell ya something, I’m a huntress and a mercenary that fights against creatures known as Grimm. This metallic arm of mine contains a number of weapons, like a scythe blade, claws, blasters, all of that good stuff”

[awkotacomoko-blog]

Could Tomoko’s eyes have gotten any wider than they did after that reveal? Probably not - they were really pushing the limits of what was and was not possible already, enough so that even the bags under her eyes started to ache. She wanted to pinch herself, to make doubly certain this was real. Interesting meetings like this just didn’t happen to someone like Tomoko, her luck was too bad for that.

But she couldn’t deny reality. “You... things like that are...??” Tomoko had no idea where to even begin. Something she could have only imagined in her wildest fantasies was coming true - someone she could have only imagined up actually wanted to give her the time of day, and she was getting so excited and worked up over it that she began to shake.

“Now don’t say that.” And Ruby had calmed down from her, at’least in her own opinion, rather eccentric attitude. “Every life is interesting in its own way. For example my life could be interesting or boring to you, and it depends on a lot of things. Perhaps I’ll tell you some secrets as well, but I just want to let you know one thing, okay?” And she leaned across the table to pat Tomoko on the head. “I know that it must be hard to be as socially anxious as you, but you have a friend in me too, so just relax and take your time.”

[awkotacomoko-blog]

“Not mine...” Tomoko’s mannerisms leveled out. She reached some sort of calm when she spoke so negatively about herself - that was probably a trait she needed to worry about, but that could be done later. “I... I’m just bad. At everything. I can’t...” the girl paused, simmering on her thoughts and the pleasant sensation that came with having her head patted. “... You’re really nice.”

Yang smiled a little bit as she slowly began to motion for Tomoko to follow her as she slowly began to walk. Of course as she did walk she had the possible thought that maybe this girl was believing that her genuine friendliness  was some sort of trick. But she decided that she would make sure that Tomoko had no reason to worry.

“Hey Tomoko? I was wondering if I could show you something pretty cool, I mean you look like the kind of person that likes anime and stuff like that so…maybe you’d wanna take a look at my right arm?” She asked with a slight smirk, hoping that her jacket would be removed to show the metallic weaponized arm

[awkotacomoko-blog]

“Y-your right arm?” Tomoko sounded about as confused as she looked. A variety of things, possibilities ran through her head about what she could be shown. Running off of the context - the mention of anime and the like, she entertained the brief thought that Yang’s arm could be some sort of magical artifact or something along those lines.

Perhaps this was the day her fantasies would come true, and she would be whisked away from her painfully boring life to participate in some quest across a mystical land, making loads of friends and finally feeling like she was worth something. Or she could just be getting tricked into opening herself up to an elbow in the face. That sounded fun. “Alright...”

Yang almost found herself giggling at the sudden exposition dump as she watched this slightly younger girl start rambling, yep, she was definitely much like her sister in that regard. And the only way to stop someone from rambling was to give them a nice little pap on the head and show them some sort of affection, like a puppy.

The blonde then slowly put her hand down on top of Tomoko’s head and began to slowly rub, “Hey, kid. You don’t need to get all anxious about this, if you’re nervous then I’ll try and keep it so you don’t get too flustered” Yang joked as she showed a very genuine smile toward the younger girl

[awkotacomoko-blog]

Tomoko was instantly silenced by the pat to her head, lips sealing tight. It felt nice to be touched that way - more than she really ever thought it would, in fact. Comforting, relaxing, It was enough for now to calm Tomoko and allow her to gather herself a bit more. She was glad Yang was such a nice person, she didn’t even care about all of her earlier suspicions anymore.

“R-right. Then...” Tomoko paused. She was reluctant to bring an end to Yang’s wonderful headpatting, but she stood up and gently brushed her hand away, her own hands coming together to pass over and squeeze one another.

“You got a pretty cool name shorty. Now tell me, why’s someone as cute as you all the way over here? I mean for one thing the sun’s way too hot today and you might get sun burnt” The blonde stated with a small smirk before eventually wiping a little bit of sweat off her own brow, of course at this point she didn’t know if maybe Tomoko would be up for a drink, but the idea was still up in the air.

“You up for grabbing a drink? I mean that’s only if you’re OK with it. I know I probably look like a fuckin’ idiot right now trying to start up a conversation like this. But it’s like how my Dad told me, friends are people that you might no even know yet”

[awkotacomoko-blog]

Who even was this person? They were friendly to the point that it made Tomoko mildly suspicious. Could this be a prank? She could imagine someone deciding to mess around with her that way - maybe trick her into going somewhere where she’d be bullied and pushed around... but there was something deep inside of her that wanted this to not be that.  She felt like she could make a genuine friend here, and so, swallowing her anxiety and curling it into a little ball in her stomach, “I... okay. We can do that... I mean, if you want. I-it’s okay if I’m not good enough for that but youknowijustwantedtoreallytrythisoutandi’mstartingtorambleohgodican’tstoptalkingpleasedon’thatemei’msorryijust-” and so, the floodgates were opened.

“Aww, can you get any more cute than you already are?” Ruby asked, before shrugging and gently dragging the other alongside herself. Once she found a suitable cafe, she pulled out the chairs and called over a Waitress, ordering half a dozen of donuts for each of them, alongside a choco-capuccino. 

“There, all done. Now tell me about yourself, Tomoko and I shall do the same once you’re finished, okay dear?”

[awkotacomoko-blog]

“T-there isn’t much to tell...” Tomoko managed to say, continuing to stare downward despite her increasing desire to have a taste of those sweets. She wasn’t sure how to talk about herself without making her entire life sound like one long, uncomfortable joke, but hell, she tried it. Stammering and trembling, she went over the things that made up Tomoko Kuroki - from her social anxiety to her old buddies. 

[awkotacomoko-blog]

“No one can live at this speed.”

“M-maybe a speedy blue guy, or... or something.”  Tomoko replied at an astonishing volume of just barely audible. Making dumb references helped, at least.

“Hey, you don’t need to be scared of me. I’m literally as threatening as a tabby cat” Yang then eventually made her way over to Tomoko and sat down beside her. If anything she wasn’t wanting to scare her off, she looked cute to say the least and certainly gave off the vibe of someone that was either an Otaku or a NEET. But judging by her looks, she didn’t look too young, at least in high school.

“I’m Yang. Yang Xiao Long, nice to meet’cha…uh, what’s your name?” She asked whilst extending her hand

[awkotacomoko-blog]

Tomoko wanted to comment on how a name like that reminded her of the sorts of characters she would encounter in games and anime, but she knew better than to bring such things up out of nowhere. Instead, she gripped one arm with the opposite hand and gave herself a good squeeze to keep herself steady, managing to at least limit her body’s tremors for the moment being.

“Tomoko... Tomoko Kuroki...” she introduced herself, directing her gaze away from Yang. She was good looking. Probably smelled nice too - Tomoko had no idea what someone like that could want with her, but her musing over the matter led to her forgetting to take the hand offered to her.

“Coolio shorty.” The Rose spoke, patting the smaller girls head and smiling all lightly. “But alas, I have to retract my statement from before. I’m not going to join you with whatever it was you were doing. Instead–” And Ruby pulled an arm around Toroko, if only to get the other closer and further embarrass her.

“We’re going to get ourselves some food and because I’m generous, I’m going to pay for the food. Take it as a token of becoming my friend or whatever else your minds can come up with.”

[awkotacomoko-blog]

A friend and a free meal? Wow, holy jeez. That almost made the embrace she was dealing with a little easier. Almost. She needed to respond to the offer right away, or risk upsetting her new buddy too early in their relationship to fix it. “R-right. I.. we.. yeah.” she stammered out. Inside, she kicked herself around for her continuing inability to string together a sentence properly. Just a few words! Just a few words and she could definitely match the friendliness being sent her way!

... She ended up just looking down with a face red as a tomato, fidgeting. Good work, Tomoko.

Soon a particular blonde and rather toned looking female began to make her way through the park, noticing the almost frail looking child that had pretty much put herself in the corner. Seems like a familiar case and mix of social awkwardness and social anxiety…this was going to be just like Ruby wasn’t it? Except from what she could tell…even worse.

“Yo. You there, you doin’ OK? I mean if ya don’t mind someone like me askin’?” Yang slowly walked over and began to lean down a little so she was almost at eye level with Tomoko, today was gonna be a long one for sure

[awkotacomoko-blog]

Tomoko froze like, forgive the cliche comparison, a deer caught in headlights. It wasn’t every day she was approached by strangers like this... although some part of her deep down inside felt a certain sense of deja vu, and it was enough to make her remain totally still and silent. That is, at least until her frozen brain thawed out and reminded her that ignoring people like that was incredibly rude.

"Uuu... I’m.. I-I’m fine.” she forced out a reply and turned her head away, trembling in the face of *gasp* interaction with another person.

The Rose knew she had a commandant voice, being a Leader and a Mercenary, especially a Veteran, did have that effect on most people. Of course she held it back most of the time, but to see someone do it so willingly? Now that lead Ruby to comment. “Man, you’re a sub if I’ve ever seen one.”

“Oh my, what a rather adorable sounding nickname.” Ruby smiled, before going back to teasing. “A pleasure meeting you, Tomoko, and while I do know you seem to suck rather big at this social event, why don’t we just skip the crap and call ourselves acquaintances, perhaps even friends?”

[awkotacomoko-blog]

You’re a sub. That’s what she said right? That’s definitely what she said? Is it happening? Did my hormones finally become too strong? Is this what being one of those trashy eroge girls is like? Am I gonna lose my virginity today?!

Panic and confusion both were etched onto Tomoko’s face as she wracked her brain for a proper response to this line of conversation. It caught her so intensely off guard that she actually failed to respond to the outright offer of friendship at first. While the incredibly insane train of thought running through the awkward little weirdo’s head would be interesting to explore, however, let’s skip along to her taking note of Ruby’s offer.

Friends.

To say she bounced back ridiculously fast would be an understatement.

“Y-yeah. I’ll.. we can be f-friends.” she said with a smile, restraining her excitement. Wow! She was going to make an actual friend today!

Ruby looked at the other with the same apathetic look as before, before gently letting go of her and slowly lowering her hands to her side. She wasn’t much of a mental thinker herself, but she did have to admit, sometimes she found herself wandering of with thoughts as well.

“Yes, it’s a nice day today, but you really should calm yourself.” She herself didn’t really care how or at what rate, things progressed, it was her day-off after all.

“Anyways, you seem to be rather new at this, so I may as well start things off.” She held up her hand, for a mere handshake and added nonchalantly. “Hello, my name is Rubelia Rose, but most people call me Ruby, it’s a pleasure meeting you.” And she, mocking or not, one couldn’t tell from Ruby’s tone, remarked herself.

“Way too nice, but either way, introduce yourself now.”

[awkotacomoko-blog]

Introduce herself. that’s right, that’s how meeting new people worked. Gosh, it was so hard to remember things like that from time to time - Tomoko couldn’t even remember the last time she’d held a conversation with someone other than her brother or old friend. Still, a direct order to do so helped with spurring her into action and settle her down, one shaking hand rising to timidly pap against the other’s - not quite a handshake, but she was doing her best.

“K-Kuroki... ah! No! That’s... that’s my last name. Uhm...” Tomoko tried the deep breathing again, then opened her mouth to speak. “Tomoko... Kuroki. I.... nice to meet. Yeah.”
