Idol Hearts (Event AU) || Ruri & Ronald
Two hours⦠an hour and forty-five minutes⦠an hour and a halfā¦
The countdown until his date was agonizing for Ronald as he paced around the cafe, Ā clenching and un-clenching his sweaty palms in a state of absolute nervousness. The fact that the cafe wasnāt very busy at this time of day didnāt help matters, as Ronald was sure that he would spot Rukko right away if she were to suddenly waltz in. And an hour before they were supposed to meet up, Ronaldās premonition proved correct.
She may have been dressed very casually. She may have been wearing a hat that hid almost all of her pink locks. However, Ronald could tell that the slim figure and trademark hairbow could only belong to one person. He raised his hand in a bit of an awkward wave⦠as the pink-haired girl made a beeline for a stool at the counter without giving him a glance in edgewise. Behind her, Ronald panicked silently.Ā Is that the wrong girl? Thatās not Rukko, is it? She didnāt even look at me⦠it canāt be Rukko! Maybe sheās in disguiseā¦
Ronald hurriedly scoped out every female in the cafe, wondering if any one of them was Rukko in hiding. His eyes wandered back to the recent pink-haired arrival, who was shifting nervously in her seat. That had to be her⦠right?
Effectively psyching himself out, Ronald decided on a hasty plan of action. Making sure his hair was in order, he sidled over to the counter and took the seat next to Rukko with a clearing of his throat. A really loud clearing of his throat. Mentally smacking himself, Ronald wiped his brow and sighed. āHow unfabulous was that? Come on Ronald, get it together!ā he murmured to himself, trying to pump himself up. āYouāve got a date!ā
Curiously, he peered over at the pink-haired stranger for any sign of a reaction.
Rukko heard the sound of said stranger clearing his throat and nearly jumped out of her seat, turning to face him with wide blue eyes as she took in his appearance. There was...A lot of red. Shocking red hair, but he wasn't unattractive. Sure she was nervous, but this was supposed to be effortless for an idol, so she merely smiled and tilted her hat up a little bit so he could see her better.Ā
"Oh, you must be Ronald, hm? I'm going to need to see the proof from your Holo Caster!"
Not that she didn't believe him, far from that...She just wanted to make sure, in case something went wrong. "You should have the specific pass downloaded so you can show it to me~ I only have an Xtransceiver so I don't really know how that works, but...That's what I was told to look for!"Ā
He did a good job of recognizing her, too. Ronald must honestly be a really big fan, and the thought made her happy. If there was one thing Rukko was looking forward to during their date, it would be getting to interact with a really dedicated fan.Ā
"Though even if you end up not being who I'm looking for, it's always a pleasure to meet someone who's a big fan!"
