✖ ➥ [ His eyes never strayed away from her, except for a hot second as another body slipped out of the shrubs along with her. He wondered if he was her boyfriend. Probably not. She was way out of his league, anyone gifted with sight could well perceived that. He remained quiet and still as a leaf on a tranquil pond, awaiting her next move.
” — excuse me?” Did his ears hear her correctly? Hot stuff? Well, that was new. A snort was caught in his nostrils, slight amusement bubbling from her line. Although it was lame, she gained some points with him for being bold enough to actually use it on someone.
Just then, he realized she was drifting away from him. He assumed she was embarrassed, who wouldn’t be? “Hey.” He called out to her, hoping the volume in his voice was loud enough to catch her attention. “Hold up!” ]
↪ 「♡」 She heard the short ‘hey’ and ‘hold up’ from behind her, and froze up. Great. He’d definitely heard what she’d said. Was he about to explain how lame she was? Maybe she could use Umino to her advantage here. She grabbed the smaller figure, dragging him by the arm – the male clearly not wanting to follow her lead, and instead freed himself from her grip and had high tailed it out of there. “Well—that didn’t that work!”
She yelled out exasperatedly, throwing her arms into the air, forgetting for a moment that she’d just embarrassed herself only moments ago. Minako turned towards the figure, woodenly, emitting a nervous laugh as she tried to get herself out of the situation. “Ha ha. About before… I can explain. You know, it’s a really funny story. It could take an hour to explain, and I’d need some assistance.”
Okay. She had nothing, but he didn't need to know that.
