mxnhxra·:

   Another inhuman squeak escapes her, though this one not out of fear this time. Her eyes actually light up.

   “I’ve-…! Never done that before! Can we go raid a kobini?! …please?” she hesitantly reaches for his hand again, not thinking.

    There was no hesitation or even a pause, as he slowly lifted himself out of his seat, clutching her hand in his, ready to help her up out of her own cushioned chair and assist steadying her on her feet.

    “ Of course! ”  He had a fat wad of cash in his wallet, and the only perfect way to spend it, in his mind, was to let his girlfriend peruse the convenience store and choose whatever it was her heart desired.

    Linking his arm in hers, he strode the both of them out of the theater room.  The tears and fright were but a long memory already.

[ecceden]

mxnhxra·:

   “Y-You want bear children?”

    “ ... Jesus Christ, Minako.  Let’s get married and have kids.  That’s all I’m saying.  That’s all I’m trying to throw out there.  That’s it.  It’s so simple. ”

[ecceden]

mxnhxra·:

“I CAN’T KIDNAP CHILDREN!!!!!”

    “ No, not ‘kidnap’. ‘Bare’! ”

[ecceden]

mxnhxra·:

   “N-Not…really…” Minako’s eyes drift towards the ground again, afraid she may melt if the actually looked at either of them right now.

   “J-Just um…l-little things about the…school…”

   Not a thing about dating her son.

   “…I-I didn’t even know…th-that she was your mom until…”

    “ You should have seen her reaction, Lovey -- ”  She dryly poked fun at the poor girl’s reaction, giving her son a little nudge to the arm for added emphasis.  “ And I didn’t even know the two courses mingled with each other at all, yet they must some of the time if you two are so close already. ”

    No, they didn’t really ... he was fortunate enough to have even met Minako simply because he forced his way into the Main Course to meet her.

    “ Ohhh-ho, is that so ...?  In that case, I apologize, Minako-chan. ”

[ecceden]

mxnhxra·:

   ‘Love’…

   Even the way he softly wiped away her tears…yes…

   That’s exactly what she felt.

   Straightening up, though admittedly her legs were sore from sitting so long and then curling up, Minako quickly tries to redeem herself.

   “We could…could…get something to eat? Ah, but we already had snacks, um…”

    Seeing as how she was gaining some pep in her step, Hiko leans back and gives her her space.  And, in thought, mumbles to himself.

    “ We could eat ... just not a meal ... ”

    It probably wouldn’t be smart to go out and eat a full meal, no.  Besides, with popcorn and soda in his system, a regular meal seemed like a downgrade for the night.

    “ Well, how about we go raid a konbini, or something similar? ”

[romxntiqe]

*accidentally starts crying*

[ecceden]

mxnhxra·:

   The compliments and the fussing over him made her…smile. It was rare for her to see something like this firsthand, she didn’t even catch herself admiring the two of them…

   …and then the sound of her own name snapped her back to reality.

   “AH- UM…I-Ijichi-san…I-I mean…your mother! She was over by the Main Course a-and…apparently someone was giving her a hard time so I-…! I-I led her over here, I had no idea she was…um…!”

    “ Wait ... what happened ..? ”

    At the mere mention of ‘someone was giving her a hard time,’ Hiko turned towards his mother -- concerned.  But rest assured, she gave him the quick 30 second synopsis of the event.

    If she was fine, then he could go back to being humiliated.

    “ Then, have you two been ... talking for long? ”

    Did his mother know?  Was that brought up?  Were they in cahoots to toy with him?

[ecceden]

mxnhxra‌:

   Nodding, she carefully wipes at her tears like an obedient child being scolded by a parent. How embarrassing. He was supposed to be your boyfriend, and here he is…

   …making things easier for you. A saint, an angel.

   Minako hiccups a bit, trying to calm herself down. “…c-…can we…do something else…please? I want to…to make it up to you…”

    “ You don’t need to make anything up to me, ” he tells her gently, loosening the grip on her shoulders and twisting further to get a better look at her.  Even with the hiccuping, she seemed to be calming down.

    “ But -- ” he starts, pulling down his sleeve to cover his knuckles and softly dab away the tears that still remained.  “ -- I would love to do something else tonight, yes. ”

[ecceden]

mxnhxra·:

   “Y-…YOU HAVE CHILDREN!?”

    “ Not yet ~ Help me out? ”

[ecceden]

    “ Dad in the streets, Daddy in the sheets ~ ”

[ecceden]

mxnhxra·:

   She’s bright red now, regretting helping the woman in the first place. Which is bad! She should never regret helping someone in need!

   And yet…

   With another quick bow of her head, Minako shuffles inside of the room without a word, eyes glued to the ground guiltily.

    Allowing Minako to step in first, Ritsuko followed suit and proceeded to close the door behind them.  Best keep all the lovey-ness inside and not give his classmates blackmail material when the mother gushed her heart out ...

    ... which is what she immediately did.

    ‘It’s so good to see you; You look as handsome and grown-up as ever; I’ve missed my baby boy so much; Did you get taller?’

    This was ... so embarrassing.  On its own it’s embarrassing, but with his new girlfriend forced to witness this display ... he wanted to die.  But Kimihiko managed to to shake it and force a casual demeanor as he ignored the questions and asked:

    “ What brings you here to join my mother, Minako-chan? ”  Though his tone and overall disposition was cheery, he was quite apologetic.
