I know we just met a few short hours ago, but I fell in love with you as SOON as I saw your face

Right. Okay. When Honoka’s back to her feet is when he can take their chance to remove them from this place, walking away from the stall with little more than an awkwardly mumbled thanks as he listens to Honoka’s commentary. It is pretty nice, he supposes, but still… Strange adults doing things for him out of the blue is always a little disconcerting. 

When she notes the heat however, he gives a short shake of his head. “I’m fine. There’s this now, so…” Holding up the bottle, he attempts to dissuade her. That is to say, it’s hot yeah, but this is the lesser of two evils - he’d rather have the cool water to help him survive the heat than have to somehow attempt to keep up with Honoka if she gets it in her head that a fan needs to be acquired right now right away immediately. Speaking of which, undoing the lid he figures a sip now can’t hurt, and may even work to prove his point. (He’s weak. It’ll be gone fast for him, but it’s still the lesser of two evils.) If only the attempt of hers to imitate the merchant’s laugh didn’t nearly cause him to choke on it in shock. Coughing a little he’s about to tell her it sounds more like they’ve both got something caught in their throat, but when his eyes meet hers…

Oh no… Ohhhh no… Essentially, when he looks up the best way to describe the feeling he gets is that he’s just unlocked a CG in a dating sim. Everything behind her is in a soft blur, but somehow Honoka’s radiant features only shine brighter and brighter as time slows down. His cheeks are getting hot for some reason and he can feel his heart beating against his chest. It’s lucky when the initial effect passes after a few moments of blinking, rubbing at his eyes from how suddenly the atmosphere had shifted back to almost normal, and it’s a relief.

Unfortunately… the after-effects don’t leave, and when he looks up the fact of the matter is that even though Honoka no longer sparkles even just the soft line of her smile is enough to cause his chest to tighten. He wants to pull his gaze away, keep his eyes glued to the ground just the same way he always does when he gets this troublesome (read: frightening) feeling tugging at him, but this time something won’t let him. His cheeks get redder and redder - though with an attempt at salvaging his previous doubtful expression he does pick up his words from before.

“It’s weird when you do it.” The laugh, that is. Just hearing it sends a shiver down his spine at the thought of the vendor, and instead with eyes surprisingly (and boldly, for him,) focused on Honoka still he instead reaches out a hand to intertwine his fingers with hers and tugs her a little closer. He doesn’t know why he does it, but he wants to. More like, he has to. It feels like going even one second longer with that distance between them would have been unbearable? “I said I’m fine, so you don’t have to go wander off Honoka. Keeping up with you is tiring…”

[idolista-blog]

Of course to Honoka, a bottle just isn’t enough so she’s trying to find something to help the other out-- if there’s anything. He does deserve to feel his best when just following her around and going with almost (read as none) of her schemes which must get tiring? Giving a glance to the bottle she does not but back to important matters, a fan, a fan, do they even have sockets around here to borrow? She doubts it. A step forward, she squints her eyes to see in a farther distance, wondering if there’d be something at that stand and yet it doesnt’ seem too likely.

Pointing towards the stand as she looks back at Kenma with a wide smile, she hopes that this effort will help him change his mind. Yet that doesn’t seem to be the case as he starts rubbing his eyes, did something get caught in them? “Do you want me to blow on your eye, are you OK?” She asks, a little worried he may be going through something? Is the sun in his eyes? Though this isn’t the case either, the laugh isn’t something he likes to tough and Honoka believes that maybe he rubbed his eyes because he couldn’t believe what he saw.

She can go with that!

“I thought it was pretty cute it sounded really strong!” Though, being stared at without a look that reads he doesn’t really care, she looks both left and right to figure out what’s got his attention? Probably something really interesting, a step forward so she could take the lead and walk, she can feel fingers slip between her own, warmth located in her hand and steps back to where she’s back by his side. She has no complaints, she really doesn’t but she does look up to him with a slight pout on her features.

“But Kenma, are you sure? I could walk a little slow I mean it’s no fun if you can’t do these things with me!!” Honestly, she doesn’t want to do a lot without him since they’re suppose to be spending this time together. Is this dramatic, she doesn’t mean to be but you know, she doesn’t want him to pass out from heat exhaustion.

It’s troublesome, that his fiance whose energy levels are already so high has been exposed to something even more interesting, and even more exciting than before, commenting with enthusiasm about whether he agrees with her impression of the youkai’s presence. “Not really,” Is about the only reply he can be bothered to note, (though better than none at all,) though when his hand is let go of he’s glad to finally pocket them, the slight hue on his cheeks that he had chalked up to the spring warmth starting to fade. It continues to be unfortunate, when the very same girl begins elaborating on even more ideas of how to find them in her eagerness to finally identify one; in an act that absolutely throws the setter off-guard, she begins to try and go right underneath a nearby stall, past busy passersby legs and other obstructions.

For a flat minute, almost, he’s stunned into silence. Is she really doing this? Is she for real? He knows from her game and his personal experience that she’s eccentric but can she please find some chill? Unsure what else to do he crouches down beside her, making to tug on her sleeve just a bit in an attempt to keep her from actually crawling under. It’s enough for Honoka to drag him through the whole city area despite exhaustion remaining from the yacht, but to make him stand by and wait for her as she crawled under every stand on the street is just too much. 

“Honoka,” He mumbles. “Don’t do that. We’ll find one, but…” He closes his eyes, exhaling lightly as he wonders if there’s a better way to put this. Probably not, and he’s never been too talented with his words anyway so he shrugs it off and continues. “It’s weird if you crawl under other people’s stalls like that. And it will take too long if you have to check every merchant.”

He’s tired and these merchants are filling the streets - this place is a tourist trap after all. At least it seems to be something like that with overpriced souvenirs, six dollar drinks in every store and corner, and a place to stay that’s just as luxurious as the yacht though hopefully with less of the destruction and chaos that had been present there. The setter isn’t sure if his words alone will be enough to dissuade the girl however, and is wondering if there are any other points he can make before she actually does start crawling under tables when something interrupts him. A bellowing laugh causes his eyes to shoot up, wide and catlike as the sound spooks him.

　“KAKAKAKAKA!” Looking down at them is a towering man with a frightening grin. Red accents the corners of his eyes and small tufts of blue hair peek out from under his headdress, but despite the shiver that goes down Kenma’s spine the tone the stranger speaks in is amicable. “What a lively couple! Searching for a youkai, are you? Then this humble servant of Buddha will help you out. Come, have this drink, it will cleanse your spirits and your mind!”

The man holds out a water bottle to him. It’s cold, of course, but it’s just water, and Kenma is a little skeptical of something that comes for free in a place like this. Even so he shrugs and accepts the offering without complaint as the stranger assures that he doesn’t mind a free item being lost now and then, having let go of his worldly desires. (But then, why is he running a merchant’s stall!?) Honestly, being called out for Honoka’s weird behaviour like this is just kind of embarrassing, and his eyes are glued to the ground nearby as he speaks up in an attempt to remove them from this situation, and the man who apparently likes commenting on it. 

“Come on, they said we should be able to see ones that look different too, so… we’ll find them eventually.” Standing up, he peers at the idol for a moment before looking around with the water bottle pressed to the side of his neck to cool it. With any luck, as reluctant as he is to actually meet a youkai, if they find one maybe he can convince Honoka to slow down a little.

[idolista-blog]

She had almost made it if she wasn’t stopped by Kenma who pulled onto her outfit in order to gain her attenuation, she’s a little sad that she can’t make her way under so she gives a little nervous laughter that maybe she’s messed up or perhaps went too far. “I would have came back really fast, it’s just a quick look under, what’s the worst that could happen?” Really, what customers would get the wrong idea? It’s not everyday people sees a young girl crawling under and between merchant’s legs to find a circle.

In her hopes to reassure the other, a voice that claps like a storm rages before her in a roar of laughter and he looks directly towards it. It sounds very amusing and she likes stuff like that but the origin of it is a little frightening in which Honoka blinks trying to take it in all at once. He’s a humble servant of Buhhda, uh-huh, that’s.. that’s really cool, she can deal with this. Sitting on her legs, the female looks up to the other who towers over them, though Kenma is the luckier between the two.

Her mouth formed in an ‘o’ fashion as she watches how he lets go of a worldly item to Kenma, that must be really rare! He should he ecstatic but she thinks she knows best and that he’s probably not crazy about the idea at all or is even thinking about how that may be a one in a million chance for someone of Buddha’s teachings to give him a water bottle! Getting to her feet and thanking the man for his good endeavors, she turns on her heel to face towards Kenma.

She doesn’t see what was so troublesome about what happened between them and the guy who gave such a nice offering. “That’s really nice of him, right? To give you that, some of it looks pretty expensive and other vendors. You’re pretty lucky!” Patting him lightly on the shoulder, she wonders if he thinks it’s a bit hot outside considering he’s putting the bottle to his neck. “Should I buy a fan, do you want me to cool you off? Let’s see.. which one of these stands has a fan on sale.” Looking around, she listens to what the other states and a smile is on her features since she can’t WAIT to see different youkai.

“That guy was pretty neat right? His laugh mostly.. how did it go.. ＫＡ               ＫＡ                                   ＫＡ!” After it’s done, she does have to clear her throat and her words leave once again, “I need to practice on that, maybe one day I could do it too! It sounded like thunder, don’t you think so but.. first things first, I have to get you a fan, I don’t want the heat to get you.”

You know, this Gaen guy has a lot going for himself if he reserved an island for everyone to participate on! It’s really nice but what really gets Honoka’s attention is the so called rumors? Something about a forest filled with all sort of mystical creatures, it’s not like she believes in it because it could be people dressing up to add spice to the celebration but then again.. Wouldn’t it be really, really, REALLY cool if it was like........... LEGIT?

Who would she want to share this experience with? None other than her special spouse Kenma! Though it is weird that at times his phone does go off with various love songs.. Huh, wonder why it does that! “Did you hear about the rumors, sounds really cool right?” The question is posed at her fiancé where she sounds nothing more than excited over the fact of there being ‘youkai’ living around. “It’ll be really cool if it’s real so we should go look for them?”

Honestly, they’re not that hard to find when they’re almost standing in every stand around them and their appearance is different from the norm. General waves for customers to come their way so they can bask in the fresh and new items they’ve brought in just for this occasion. Could you even believe some of them were also a fan of μ’s as well, some of the creatures asking Honoka to come over for an autograph (sadly she didn’t have a pen on her and to even use one she had to pay up, they trying to rob an idol blind out here in these streets!). Youkai have to live a little sometimes, they don’t want to be bored all their lives!

“I wonder where they are all hiding?” This entire time she’s been holding Kenma’s hand and has finally released him just to look around the area. This is hard. Yep, REALLY hard when you’re surrounded by them in a sense. Get it together Honoka, don’t drop the ball! “Better yet, do you think one of these merchants are what the rumors are talking about.. I heard that they stand on a circle, maybe if I crawl under the stand to see if they’re standing on something then we found them!”

Sounds like a good idea!

It’s at this moment, Honoka gets down on her knees and gently stating excuse me as other people walk by.. She needs to see if the truth is here she wants to see the youkais honestly.

I cancel plans with my friends just so I can be absolutely sure that I don't waste any LP

Ah, yep. He did forget. But honestly even with the exaggerative jingling he’d heard, nothing could have really prepared Kenma for what Honoka had hanging from her in pretty much mass amounts. His first glance up he has to do a double take, and even after he manages to even his expression his brows are still furrowed at the sight. Isn’t that heavy, or something? “Souvenirs..?” He guesses. Gifts from fans, perhaps, since being the center of such a popular idol group can’t be easy. Though he does take in her words of concern for her busy schedule with some confusion of his own.

"It’s fine." His tone is light and indifferent. He doesn’t want to give the impression that it’s a nuisance to spend time with Honoka, seeing as he’s aware such an impression seems to come from him often enough and it’s never been a great enough concern of his to fix. But, well… He doesn’t mind. Somehow the charisma of μ’s and its members manages to come across well even outside of the game itself - a rare feat. Anybody who’d mind the kind of dedication they have would be an antagonist, for sure. It’s in the midst of this thought that she manages to catch him off guard, throwing herself at the setter for a hug.

His reactions are delayed, but it’s pretty impressive when they occur at all quite frankly. Setting his hands on her back his return of the hug is somewhat awkward and definitely pretty unfamiliar, (he’s used to swatting these sorts of things away,) but he gives it a shot and that should earn him some points even if he’s red as a beet. “—Uhh… Sure. Like I said, it’s okay.” Though, with such an enthusiastic demeanour and such a considerate disposition of her own Kenma can’t help but feel a bit of guilt that he really had intended to stay in the room for a good chunk of time. There’s some hesitance and reluctance in him even as he speaks, but overall his conscience wins over due to the situation the pair aren’t likely to get a chance to repeat.

"Mm… I was going to stay in but, I guess we won’t be on a yacht like this for long." His gaze is lifted from somewhere down on the blanket back to Honoka, and he continues. "Is there something you want to do?"

[idolista-blog]

A pat on her back and the hug received and given, she's happy like always! Honestly, hugs can't get any better than this in which she could latch onto him for a very long time but she knows he has to move in which she finally releases him and sits on the bed right next to his person. "Did you know how warm you are, I could hug you forever!!" It was the truth as she wraps her own arms around herself to keep toasty! She watches his gaze which shifts from the covers to her and she bounces on the bed once or twice,

"Well, there's some traveling entertainers on this boat? Looks like they're going somewhere so I wanted to see them before they depart? Or maybe they're going leave wherever we're going but all in all I want to well, see them!!" It doesn't take long before Honoka can just pull at the other to get out of bed, all the jingling that comes from her because of all the chains and letters from various fans. When getting him to his feet so he could come with her, sure that he's got the main things, his shoes, his jacket if he needs it and etc., they can be on out the door. Though, there's a group of people standing out in the hallway and two people on the floor.

"Huh?" Honoka is confused in which she looks towards Kenma's direction wondering why two people are knocked out like that. The two boys standing, one with black hair and the other with purple sees as if they're trying to figure out the situation at hand.

"...Hah... well.. What a weird place to sleep. ... Dork.." "She's definitely dead.."

A hand raises to the purple haired male's chin, as if he can't believe what the man before him has said. "I dunno. I'm not just gunna leave her here, but... Well, I kinda feel tired myself. I think I'll just take a nap and wait for her to wake up. .... Uh..." It's at this moment a thumping sound comes from afar, rocking the ship (perhaps that's the Kraken..)  "...Hey, do you all hear something...?" The man asks as he looks at Honoka and Kenma, then to his black haired friends.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!" "Bitch it's the Juggernaut! And I got a bitch with me!" The black haired male says, the one with purple hair closes his eyes, "shofu.. please this is serious." shofu tilts his head before he sees some rainbow color haired female jump breaks through some glass with a mallet of the cabin room sleeping area, "Oh damn, it is the Juggernaut!!"

"DIAMOND DYNAAAMMMOOOOOO!!!!!!!" In the back you can hear shofu yell, "Bittttccchhhh." Honoka claps her hands in an excited manner because gosh! It's one of the entertainers! Or maybe all of them? Purple hair is pushed back as the male jumps away from getting swatted with a big ass mallet. "WOAAHH!" "Uh. Whups." The female with the mallet seems out of it, honestly.

The purple haired male moves just a bit, trying to understand what's going on.  "That was close! What do you think you're doing!?" Though, the female's response.. "WHAT AM I DOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! ...this saturday night babbeh, id like to take you out, knowwhatimean nudge nudge wink wink."

"...Usually people ask that before they try to pound me, not after..." But the male next to her.. his response. Why is this happening?

shofu stares directly into Cain's soul, so fucking tired, because not only are they around people but he's tired. "Oh my lord Cain, you gotta chill bro. Cain. I'm gunna ask you 1 time to chill. Just one. Time. Chill out."

Finally Cain shakes his head, asking the real q's, "Okayno hold on, what did you just do with that giant mallet?" Besides, what are they gunna say about the glass around the floor and such, someone has to pay for that on Kyoya's yacht. The girl giggled softly, "ya wanna find out ;)" "Oh my lord," shofu starts as he stares at Aya on the floor, "What's going on right now?" Now his gaze is placed on both Honoka and Kenma, as if he wants answers. "This is a public service announcement from shofu." He walks over to both of them though they have no idea what's going on and as the black haired male stands before them. "If you find a girl named Amethyst on this boat, tell her she needs to chill. Creators of this game, all y'all gotta just relax. Just a little bit. Just a tiny bit. Tell them that." Honoka wonders what game but OK..

"Like really, what, where could that POSSIBLY have gone?!" Cain looks at the female, trying to see where she could have hid it.

Terra smiles and spins in excitement, speaking happily about the fact that thi ccould be her next boothang. "he's checkin me out awwwwwwwwhhh yeh" Cain takes a step back, what has he done wrong? "I-- please tell me I'm not this bad, shofu." Honoka looks at shofu who's making a -_- expression at Cain, "No Cain, you're pretty goddamn bad, you're almost on her level, very very slightly odd, she has rainbow colored hair."

CAIN CAN'T BELIEVE THIS, he's having a hard time but Terra speaks to fix the mood between all of them and he kinda wants her to stop speaking. "ANYWAY AS I WAS SAYINguu bitch YA GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE." Sighing, Cain pushes back purple locks of hair. "Why? And who even are you?"

"I AM TERRA, HERE ME RAWWWWR!!! Acceptable alternate names include Terrawr, Terraria, Terrawrawrawrawrawrawr, M3G4T3RR4, superl337 lion tamarrr and Queen o' B00ty."

shofu points at Terra with a calm facial expression, "I like her."

Terra continues. "and i got some sweet sweet words o' sugar for you baby aww yes so lend me yo ear realllll close-like: ... GET OUTTA HERE. Cuz anypony who stick around gon' fall right asleep y0." She moves over to the two sleeping couples in a spinning fashion, "Exhibit A, and C."

Honoka wonders where B is but shofu speaks up for her thoughts, asking where B is and her reply to them. "therewasanExhibitBbutiatehim. delicious. what who said that" "Is it because of this cabin where everyone falls asleep?" Cain is finding out there's a problem here, some gas that's probably putting people to sleep.

"CORRECTAMUNDO. YOU WIN!!! YOUR PRIZE IS A BRAAAND NEWWWW CARRRRR!!! butiatethecartoo. whoops now git. dw tho  i gotchu friends up one way first way ride 2 safety, lemme esplain." She moves back and pull sout her giant mallet in which Cain is hell worried, "Terra, what are you doing.." He asks, but she doesn't stop at all.

"ur mom lol. BATTER UP!!!" She hits the ground and Aya magically raises up the force and Terra hits the girl with her item and she flies off somewhere. Who knows. "HOME RAWR!" Next she hits the sleeping male, "WHAT TEH FUCK IS A PHYSICS?!!!" And the man is gone too. Lord. Where go. "iz no worry now. they are safe. we sing hakuna my tatas and and go join them, ya. READY!?"

Cain is done man, Cain needs to go. "Ahaha, I'll think I'll walk." Because Cain has the right idea as he looks at both Kenma and Honoka, "Let's go shofu! Did you two want to come or..? We have enough room for more people." Terra looks at Kenma, a smile on her face, she wants him to say yes save us Kenma it's time to go.

Honoka looks towards the broken window then back to Kenma, "Eheh.. Should we go with them? Since.. sleeping gas? .... Do you think it's for real.."

[kozuneko]

I cancel plans with my friends just so I can be absolutely sure that I don't waste any LP

Ah yes… A cruise… What a wonderful idea, with the host of this trip having prepared it down to the finest detail to create a romantic atmosphere for those who boarded the yacht even even go so far as to arrange each married couple a room of their own to share. Of course there were sure to be many opportunities that wouldn’t return again during one’s normal stay in Iunctum unless, of course, YOU happened to be Kyoya Gaen in which case you can probably just do this whenever you like but that’s not the point! Because in the midst of this totally unique and perhaps very rare chance Kenma is doing exactly what one would and should expect, taking advantage of the setting in the best way he knows how. By staying in his room and alternating phone games for the past few hours on end.

Cat eared Rin is now his, and the LL event break is now on however short it may be… but that only means it’s time for him to catch up to his other games. Million Live and Stella Eater are waiting for him, and good things have been heard about Cookie Run and Chain Chrono. Is that what it’s called? Anyway, leaning against a pillow with his phone in his hands and various chargers and handheld devices spread across the bed in an effort to sort which ones belong to what, it would almost look like he forgot he’ll be sharing the space for the week. It would make sense considering his fiance is still currently young enough to stay with her family, leaving him no real reason to leave Ene.

Oops… Did he forget?

Judging from the wideness of his eyes when a key is heard jingling in the lock of his room, it’s probably safe to assume as much.

[idolista-blog]

Keys are cute, but not as cute as the stamp collectibles that she likes to buy and or win. But wandering through the ship to find something to eat that was mostly bread, she was stopped by various people and gifted all sorts of keychains. 'I love you', 'Be Mine', 'I ♡ You'. All sorts of keychains so, so many that she believes she might drown in them! So returning back to her room with the biggest jingle, Honoka has a belt wrapped around her waist, the material holding all sorts of keychains around her that she's collected and not only that, little cards with LL wishes on them. 

Some cards go as far as wishing for other LL cards to appear like the recent V-Day one's that's been giving out though the guarantee is gone, people still try. "Keeeenma! Were you going to stay in today?" She doesn't want to bother his peace if that's what he enjoys, besides, Honoka always found herself doing something but considering the occasion, she really wants to spend it with him! So with her every step and the jingling of the keychains along with letters hanging around her, she'd become a VDay Christmas Tree if she'd allow them to hang more of the items on her body.

"A lot of people are excited, I don't have to perform any today either so! It can be a day for you and me, I hope I haven't been busy recently." She presses the tips of her index fingers together as she shyly looks down with a nervous laugh but that then dies away as she now has a smile on her face as she runs over to bed to jump on top of him, her arms wrapping around his neck as she gives an overly affectionate hug. Honestly, she's learned from the bessss.

"I hope this hug makes up for alll of it!" Honestly, Honoka is just to good for her own well-being!

[shofu voice]: [tweet 1] Why do they have shitty music performances at the game awards like anyone gives a damn [tweet 2] Bruh if they don't get this fucking violinist outta here

[laijutsu]

It would be a lie to say that Saitou dislikes living amongst this ‘family’ of his—in fact, he finds it to be tolerable, but he’s just not quite used to it nor does he see himself getting used to it any time soon (especially with how… colorful and… diverse everyone is). Speaking of which, the most eccentric of the family seems to have made herself visible rather quickly, running into the officer with pure excitement over God knows what. Unfortunately for her—Honoka, is her name—she plummets to the ground while Saitou merely loses his balance but regains it easily. Saying a quick apology, he looks down at the poor, fallen soul before noticing a stray piece of paper lying on the floor.

Well, naturally, he decides to go for the paper rather than the girl, holding it up to his eyes for a quick glance until he remembers that Honoka, his daughter, needs some assistance. Help her, you fool! She’s fallen and she can’t get up!

"Kousaka, are you okay?" He holds out his hand for her and once she takes it, he pulls her back to her feet and hands her the letter she dropped. "Be careful next time, you might do more than stumble into me. Were the contents of that sheet really so important you lost focus?"

Saitou isn’t really sure who this “Linsdey Stirling” is, nor is he keen on finding out anytime soon, but she must be important to Honoka for her to run around the house all excited like that. Even so, she should be more careful because who knows if there’s some pranksters around these parts that would love to mess with a girl like her! What if they take advantage of that optimism—tell her “Hey, Honoka, we’re here to take you to Linsdey Stirling, follow us!” and they manage to sneak her into their car and take her off to some wild forest in West Virginia where they take a wrong turn? Saitou would never forgive himself for allowing her to be taken like that, especially since she’s in his care at the moment; if that were to happen, he would have to use his very particular set of skills and he will look for them, he will find them, and he will kill them.

…Okay well maybe not, but you get the point.

[idolista-blog]

Watching her paper picked up the female almost feels at a total loss!? What if he disapproves of this and tells her she can't go? Her life would be ruined.. So she feels like her life is passing her by. Upon hearing her father's words about what's so important that she lost her momentum and ran into him. She places a hand to her chest, wondering if this is right. She points to the sheet in his hand whilst she's still on the floor, giving such a dramatic look before speaking. "Please God, let me meet her. All I want to is to find that perfect girl I know exists. She’s sweet and shy and my age and likes all the things I do, perhaps even is on this site itself. The girl who won’t secretly think I’m a loser, the girl I can cuddle with (even if only possible online) and spent nights talking to and laughing and sharing happiness. Someone who can reciprocate the love I put in, the girl who I can make feel safe and secure unconditionally and can fill this gaping, empty void in my heart. Please, just let me find this person. I’ll change everything about me if that’s what it takes Please, I just can’t take the loneliness anymore."

Ha! That's not even the case! As she's finally helped up, she dusts herself off just a bit and sighs slightly. "Don't you know who she is!? She's someone very important, I've always loved her music. You stumble upon great people like her when becoming an idol, I thought maybe she could teach me an instrument so I could show μ's and not only that, she wants me in one of her videos, exciting!" She speaks happily, a thumbs up towards her father as she crosses her arms in thought. "You know, they said I can bring one person with me? So how about you come with me, It'll be fun, I promise you won't be losing about 70 minutes of your life!"

She's so sure besides, he's the first person she ran into so that means he's the chosen one to do this with. Pleading, she presses her hands together in a prayer and gets down on her knees. "Please come, I'm sure I can bless you with my SR if you ever play Love Live, please, hear me out, God has listened to me many times and I could help you if you came along. I'm a little bit nervous and this is a great.... GREAT opportunity, so what do you think? Are you down?!" Well she's down if she was willing to get on her knees and pray.

"Do I need to place my head on the floor or.." She looks around for what she could do to persuade him but maybe the female is going way too far.

[idoliste]

that fucking cry was ridiculous whose cry was it? thats definitely not frogadiers cry. that was the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard in my life.

An inconvenience of moving residences so suddenly is doubtlessly the sudden disappearance of so many small, seemingly insignificant household items that one would never notice were so vital until… they were no longer in one’s house. Such things had happened to Kotori numerous times already despite her short time in this city, and eventually, she’s started to make a list of every one. Who know that she would miss something as small as the existence of enough pens to place in a drawer for assorted tasks so much when she moved into an empty, and perfectly organized apartment? Tape? Spare lightbulbs? They’re honestly something that her house had kept in decent stock enough so that she had nearly forgotten that they weren’t actually something that just automatically appeared when they were needed by those in the house.

However, it’s as she’s exiting the store with her bags in hand that she hears something remarkably familiar—a singing voice! Not her own, nor Eli’s, who she knew to be present, and not even that of a singer that she has heard on the radio since her arrival. It’s a singing voice she knows much better than the lattermost by now, and it’s a voice that makes her heart soar to hear so far from home. It’s with quickened steps and a wide smile that she heads out the entrance of the store, head whipping around to find the source of the music.

がんばれこころ だいじなことです ♪ 私とあなたとここから生まれる未来 ♪

Kotori’s first response is almost to call out the name of the girl standing just a few feet away, her voice ringing out loud and clear in the immediate area, but she prevents herself. After all, that would interrupt the performance right? Instead she clasps her hands together and watches her childhood friend with delight, clapping for her after the song’s end.

"Honoka-chan!" She finally calls, excitement sounding in her voice as she can’t hold it in anymore. It’s with a smile that absolutely sparkles with her affection for her friend that she speaks. "I didn’t know you were here. That was great!"

Honoka is good at what she does when it comes to singing, even the song fits perfectly as she tries to give a good performance. This is how she makes money on the side and it's very enjoyable to see the people before her smile at what she can do. Not even nervous at all since she's use to doing this in front of big crowds after all. Her intentions of doing this is to gain extra cash for Noboru's sake as well, he does so much for her and she should try to repay him back even if her voice goes hoarse!

He probably wouldn't like that but does he like anything, really. A solo song that comes from her heart, honestly, it's such a nice day but why not sing and shout and let it all out! Now once she gets towards the end of her song with a little hop skip and a yeah! She takes in the applauds given to her with a smile and a wave towards others. Her little hat that she uses so that people can put whatever inside from cash to random phone numbers with people's names on them. She doesn't need to call anyone for money does she? Since she doesn't understand this is how some people call themselves official players so she makes sure to pick them all out when looking through what she has.

A voice that calls out to her, the female looks from left to right as if searching for where it could be. She's heard that voice before, it's one that consumes her thoughts as always. As the crowd parts and the view becomes clear, she sees a familiar face and clapping that sounds out from her. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA KOTORI-CHAAAAAAAAN!?" IS THAT KOTORI CHAN? NO.. THE KOTORI-CHAN THO.. THE KOTORI-CHAN THO! KOTORISBY THO!?!

Honoka is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wild about this as she runs towards her friend, arms extended to tackle her into a big ol' hug. Though the female isn't paying attention as the contents from her hat falls out along with the item in her hand. Because what's chump change.. when you gotta friend in me? Perhaps? "KOTORI-CHAN!!" She moves from left to right in this hug, giving it her all before she breaks it and has the biggest grin on her face.

"W. When did you get here!? I'm so happy, I thought I'd never see you again. Kotori-chan! :((( I'm happy to see you, you look perfect as always!!"

Damn, what was taking so long? Shouta had a stage booked for rehearsal, but the girls who were on before him were going past their time and straight into his.. This never happened when Touma and Hokuto were with him.. How was he going to handle this? Maybe he could just remind them..

       ♦   ”'Scuuuse me.. Hey, nee-chan, are you guys almost don—”

All the other girls were gone. She was the last one there and she was putting her shoes on. They were already done. Well shit. Wait, wasn’t she one of those school idols or whatever they were? He remembered seeing her face on a picture somewhere before.. Muse? They weren’t near as popular as 765PRO nor Jupiter, but it was a good thing to get to know your competition, right?

[idolista-blog]

Honoka pushes her feet into her shoes with ease, they're  little loose but it's okay. She's just excited that μ's is slowly forming back together, though they're missing a few more people but they'll come one day. She's sure of it! The female holds her cheeks because she's grinning so hard that they're beginning to hurt. It isn't long until she hears a voice in which she turns around to catch sight of who it is, the female giving a wave towards the green haired male.

"Looks like you were too slow, we're done! We're done!" She's enthusiastic, this man isn't Sonic doe.. sad. "Oh, are you the next person who's to perform, are you here alone? Do you have any other people with you, huh huh?" It's not like she's nosy, but okay maybe she is and wants to see how this person does things. Besides, Hanayo loved watching other idols perform right? There'd be nothing wrong if she wanted to watch?

"Maybe we could even perform together after, huh, huh!? What do you think?" Who is this man doe. Rivals, hah.. like μ's has those.

[shofu voice]: [tweet 1] Why do they have shitty music performances at the game awards like anyone gives a damn [tweet 2] Bruh if they don't get this fucking violinist outta here

     Dear Honoka Kousaka,      You have been chosen of all people by the violinist, Lindsey Sterling to partake in the makings of her new music video. The first version of Crystallize is a hit but it would be extra nice if we could have someone or all of μ's talent to partake in this extravagant event. We'll send these to the other members of your group which is slowly forming but for now, if you'd follow the instructions and map given to you, the shooting will be at 5'o clock sharp. You can bring one person along with you.                                                                        From, LindseySterlingVEVO

This is the contents of the envelop that is addressed to her and basically, Honoka is wide eyed. Does.. Lindsey Sterling really want her? Honoka to honk her? This is a dream come true, she quickly gets up from bed which she was laying and happily sounds out 'aaaa's to show how pleased she is. She runs through the housing since she has to tell someone.. ANYONE about the offer that has been given to her and she doesn't care who she tells. If a ghost popped up and tried to scare her like the prankster that it was-- well. She'd tell them too!

But she must be lucky that this housing is getting more and more filled by the minute, since she was probably no good for watching after Noboru alone (finally they have parents to watch after them and make such good choices than her) she runs into one of them and accidentally knocking herself down on the ground.

"Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff." Leaves from her mouth, "Oww.. How could this happen to me, I made my mistakes." The letter that was in her hand is now laying right on the floor between them. "I got nowhere to run because I can't get up.." She falls to her back, "I've fallen.. is this why they need Life Alert in America.. I need it too."

*hsm voice* i got rags instead of riches... and all these dirty dishes... [closed]

[nottokyatto-blog]

A shiver crawls up his spine at how much Honoka insists the whole ‘Kitkat’ nickname; how is a piece of chocolate-covered premade waffles considered cute? Unless the obvious reason for the nickname is for the ‘kat’ part, Noboru digressed. Noboru isn’t sweet; he’s as salty as pure salt water evaporated. Probably goes great with pretzels. “Fine, Kitkat nickname, blah blah. Will that make you stop saying gross things?” He immediately points a digit at her, “O-Only when no one is around!” Such a fluffy nickname… The blonde sure didn’t want to be mistaken to be Honoka’s lover! His own sister!? What will the other’s fiancé think, too!

No way Noboru Kodo will let his sister copy his style. He tries to suppress a face of disgust, which he succeeds in doing so. “Matching… shirts? Please!“ Your uniform fits you better, is what he would say, but this is Noboru. “You’ll never be able to pull off this look like me!” A huff in small triumph.

Nico this, Nico that. Who’s that, her manager? A coworker? “So you make money…” He eyes her suspiciously, thinking the other would announce her job but looks like she didn’t. It’s fine, Noboru supposes, he’ll ask her another time. Though, when her voice trails off about using her uniform for ‘things,’ he starts to tilt his head slowly. “…I see. Using your uniform for that… Alright…” Now he’s starting to worry. They have money, but…

Her soft grip does warm the blonde a bit and push the thoughts out of his mind. Noboru senses that she’s forcing herself to understand his wavelength. He does feel slightly bad for the other trying so hard to fit within his comfort zone, the ginger even quieting her voice when it actually isn’t as annoying as he’s making it seem like (Gao is louder, and he had no complaints then… Though, they were childhood friends), but he’ll warm up to her gradually. You go, Honoka! Tame the tiger!!

He loosely holds her hand as they approach the building, light enough to let the female drag him to the entrance. He keeps gold eyes on his phone screen, tapping a few more things down (With sugar, eggs, strawberries, maybe they can make cake? They could divide the tasks and decorate together—please don’t die, Honoka. I’m sorry.), at the same time listening to the girl ramble and greet some locals.

Good thing Noboru’s paying attention to the sales for the other. What would she do without him! “Strawberries… That’s something on the list.” He tugs her along to the sale sign with the stacks of strawberries set below, and immediately starts scavenging for the freshest batch out of the cartons. Strawberries, something the girl asked for earlier, he thinks, as he holds up a box of perfect red. He nods in accomplishment and continues to pull her down to more sections that contain the same ecstatic sale sign above.

At least they aren’t extreme couponing. Though, maybe that would help their sibling bonding time.

[idolista-blog]

She's cheerful that he's come to accept the name which she'll try to keep in mind that it's something only between them. This keeps her going because she's happy and excited and it's something she wants to tell Kenma in the future, having already forgotten the nickname is only spoken between him and her. [Sofia Voice] Oops! This is enough for her to forget the pain of rejection when she isn't allowed to wear his types of clothes, a style she'd never be able to PRETTY GIRL rock.

At times Honoka is a bit foolish but she has nothing but good intentions, so it flies over her head what other purposes her uniform could be used for. How illegal Noboru believes she to be but it's not even like that, what if he has total damage with her job as an idol. She does this well in order to make money when it was just her at first but now she has to support him which she's making sure to do. So she's silent and thinking to herself, not having an answer to say about her clothing at all!

Wandering off just a bit, her stomach growls at the sight of food before her, almost wanting to take a bite out of a bag but someone does that before her. A man dips his hand into one of the grape bags before her, taking a bite as who she expects to be the male's friend that's wearing a hat stares at him in a confusing manner. It doesn't take long until the boy says something along the lines of, "People do it all the time." Honoka blinks just a bit, staring at the opened bag of grapes as she looks towards Noboru, wondering if he overhead the conversation since he's looking at the cases of strawberries.

Looking back at the male who's about to leave through a door nearby, he gives her this look:

Yes that one. As if telling her his words are always right, absolute. That people do them all the time. Which brings the female to jump just a little scary that is. Not only that he's one of Umi's many fans, Jerry plays Love Live from time to time when he isn't doing vines so. But he's a NPC for right now which is all that matters.

"Ehehe.." She laughs awkwardly as she looks back at the bag, wondering if she can take one grape from it. She's really, really hungry.. she wouldn't get in trouble would she. Looking back to the side as she sees that he's still looking at her, the female gulps just a little bit and wondering if this would be a crime. As she's ready to reach her hand, she sees a case of strawberries right in her face which she can smell how sweet they are. "Ohhhh these smell so good!!" There's praise as she grabs them from her brother's hands, "Kitkat, y' done clean!! Is that how they say it!?" She's oh so happy to have these in her head because strawberries are the best, honestly!

Her smile is wide and she can't help but be happy that he's helping, since she's use to doing this by herself ever since she was taken from home. She doesn't have her friends to help her as much anymore which does make her just a bit sad but that can't show until Noboru pulls Honoka down towards other sale signs. "So milk!" That's right, they need milk because it's something they'd really need to do anything really. "I like 1%, but 2% is alright as well, or should we get whole?" The question given as they're pulling by the dairy department of the store, for some reason she can feel eyes lingering and yet.. maybe she's just feeling things.

"Can we get chocolate milk too!? And coffee creamer, the fudge sundae creamer is really good. I can drink it like that without the coffee!!"

[schoolidolproject]

Honoka-chan has always come up with these kinds of ideas. She'd always drag us to places we shied away from. Because of that, we ran into all kinds of trouble. But Umi-chan, have you ever regretted it?

[idolista-blog]

honestly we're gunna rock the boat

[kozuneko]

Maybe if it were, say, Kotori or Eli it would be an offer to be taken up. Nico is a menace though. A marshtomp emerging from the first UR envelope that Kenma had pulled, and frankly, Kenma’s trying to avoid being the starstruck type. Instead he’s thankful for having met even Honoka, the shining sun of μ’s comparable in her enthusiasm and energy even to a certain person he’d known back home. Maybe the only misfortune of his thus far is being the person to get swept up in her excitement, unable to help the groan elicited as he’s forced to speed up as opposed to falling right to the ground when she pushes her palms against his back. His only salvation is the short pause at the ticket line, nodding at her totally unnecessary thanks, and the uneasy comfort of the seats that they settle into. (Front row seats, of course. Those are always the best for roller coasters, and a nice benefit of line-skipping.)

It does catch him somewhat off-guard when she mentions her anxiety at the prospect of the ride. His tone is slightly incredulous, eyes drawn together in something between worry and disbelief as he questions it. “Cry?” He repeats. Don’t do that. Really, don’t. Isn’t likely from such a lively idol, but still. Don’t do it Honoka. You’re enough of a menace. Anyway, Kenma’s got an alternative: after they’ve been locked into the seats and just as the gates to the ride open, he reaches out a hand. He doesn’t have the heart to make eye contact, though he’s entirely aware and reminds himself that it’s not like this is a weird thing to do, (engaged, right?) a blush still crosses his face as his fingers brush hers, holding her hand with a mumble just as the coaster clicks into motion.

"Don’t do that," He finally voices. "They’re not that scary." And it sounds… kind of natural, doesn’t it? Pretty close to natural. No voice cracks or anything sans an attempt to salvage some dignity after a cheesy, cliche act that might as well have been right out of an otoge.

[idolista-blog]

It's a figure of speech, right? To cry from excitement! That's it. It's normal of her type to cry from having so much fun that it seems like she went through some sort of Hell against her own will. Doesn't those tears come from the thrill of the ride, she's so excited that she can't truly sit still when sat down in front row spots, this is where the fun really began. She's an embarrassment when it comes to tears, overreaction and the sorts that can't be helped at all; a faucet is probably who she is when she can't hold in all that enthusiasm. Looking off at the side to see the people who're standing around and walking to certain areas, she smiles since it's such a lively place so she's especially enamored that she's able to spend a place like this with Kenma.

The hand she's left pressed against the small space in the seat between them, she's unaware at first but it doesn't take time for warmth to cover her own hand which surprises her just a bit as she hears his statement. Honoka can feel the bridge of her nose heating up in which with one hand she raises it to press down against it, she's about to burst probably.  To face him and notice that he's not looking her direction, it doesn't bother her at all as she takes a deep breath of satisfaction. A smile on her features as she thinks this doesn't get to her but maybe she's grinning a bit too hard that her cheeks hurt.

She can hear voices behind her of the people that are seated there, how happy they are and how they're ready for the excitement. As loud as their voices are, she can hear Kenma because he's the only one she truly wants to hear. It isn't like her to block out such a group of people but her heart beats more than before, maybe she's listening too hard as she gulps. "I'm sure that when I'm by your side!!!" Her voice softens just a bit at the thought, "I.. won't be scared so even if I do cry.. it's happy tears." That's right, so she's not going to be afraid at all but she does slowly intertwine her fingers into his own. Nails lightly running against the top of his hand lightly, she draws a word that if he can tell how she runs her finger against his skin that she's written 'OK?'

Honestly! This is supposed to be a fun ride which it will be, she's  little nervous but she lightly bumps her shoulders softly against the others own as she looks forward. Maybe her own reassurance and his is what got them to the top of the first hill, out the corner of her eyes the people that were close enough to see their faces are now ants in her eyes. At this point, she keeps a good hold on the other's hand, as they are at the very top of the first hill in this long and thrilling ride. The dip is mighty and looking at how far it goes down, Honoka laughs softly to herself. "This is where it starts!!" She says to herself, eyes widening as her other hand grips onto the black material that's placed around her to keep her seated in.

[idolista-blog]

get in loser, we're doing a love live

Psyche!

Anyway, Honoka does her best when it comes to doing performances but being told by Nico she needs to find some cute outfit that will fit their next song (since this is how they get paid), the female is at a clothing store within the mall. They're show is to start at the lower floor and things were getting prepared, what type of outfit is she to wear, who knows! Not only that, he needs to have someone work in the background, it can be anyone and Nico doesn't have time going to people and asking them, they go to her. So this is also something Honoka needs to figure out.

Who would be a nice soul to join in a singing performance, all they had to do was smile and wave and maybe do a small insert of how they feel about the song. Maybe.. hopefully that's all. We'll see. The female looks both left and right when finding a few outfits so that she can go to the changing room. There's already many people inside and they hardly care who comes in, so normally when you go inside, the clothes that hang over the side wall is a wardrobe that the person is thinking of putting back, right?

So when seeing a white outfit with purple stripes that would fit her friend: Nico's tastes, that's hanging right in the changing room she's stationed in. She takes it quickly! Hearing no complaints (or maybe the young boy didn't notice, sorry lel rip, keep on the outfit that you'd wear if Tasuku said it was cute on you XD). Though she feels a little bad so she puts on the outfit she just took, changing into it (though it's a little tight on her) and she hangs her own cute choices (or better yet you can wear these 8DDDDD LEL) over so the other could take one, honestly! They could have one if they allowed her their outfit.

It's all ninja-y, so cool! She pats her chest happily and knocks on the wall that separates her and the boy that she has no idea is on the other side. Such a young child. "For helping me with an outfit, do you want to audition something with me! It'll be fun, please. You're perfect, whoever you are!" A pause, "You must be some sort of general because of this yellow string stuff right, so you'd help your people!?!?"

Noboru wasn’t very used to touchy scenarios; swinging arms and pinching cheeks was a huge step for him, especially when he just met the girl barely an hour ago. It’s not that he hates Honoka, he’s giving her a chance, it’s just that she’s going way too fast! Though, it can be questioned that Noboru is just [Sonic voice] Too slow!

“Just call me Noboru.” First name basis was a common practice to him, despite living in Japan. His voice trails off for a moment, until he freezes to a complete stop. “Kit… Kitkat…?” Eyebrows raise in shock and his eye widen, fingers twitching. His teeth grind against one another as he clutches the fabric of his jacket, pulling the flaps apart, “It’s not a cat, it’s a tiger!!”

His small body shakes a little, ironically like a kitten in defense mode, trying to scare away a predator. Little does he know it’s not just the shirt that gave Honoka the conclusion he resembles a cat. Looks like there are now more compliCATions between them. Noboru will need to eduCATe Honoka about the no-no’s of being referred to like a feline. This is truly a misunderstanding in communiCATion.

A sour look is plastered on his face after being treated like a kid and referred to as a cat, the distance still in between them both. As much as he would like to keep silent for the rest of the walk, the other continues to chat up a storm. “Not eaten together. Obviously.” He’s sure eating fish and drinking milk at the same time would cause a stomachache. Not even the minerals those rocks have could stop stomach problems. “I’ll only help with the cooking to make sure you don’t burn the house down. We can make anything you’re capable of.” She’s already been burned enough by his sick burns; we can’t have her die in a fire like Kido’s sister, right?

Not that Noboru Kodo knows Kagerou Project.

“Aren’t you filthy poor?” He presumes from her reused school uniform and house mess. A high schooler shouldn’t be able to make a lot of money, right? Unless in Iunctum, they can. Cool. “Of course I’m going to worry about money.” Even if it’s hers, his, or ‘ours’, it’s always best to be overprotective of your assets!  

He looks down at the hand held out for him, then back at her. Reluctantly, he grasps her hand gingerly, head turning away to lose her stare.

He just didn’t want to get lost, that’s all

“So… This must be the place?”

[idolista-blog]

To show his shirt and correct her, Honoka laughs to herself lightly from how defensive that he's being over his outfit. The way his brows knit together in little anger, that temper's going to be the best of him. Aquamarine takes in the sight of the pattern that's bestowed upon her, she nods and corrects herself, "A tiger. But that isn't as cute as kitkat is it? Because I bet you can be sweet if you wanted to be." She reassures him though he's probably not having any of this, possibly wants her to stop talking by now. One day, she'll do that just for him, she'll become sick and can't speak and maybe then, everything he's wanted would have came to fruition.

His actions are funny so she can't find herself to cease her bits of laughter, a hand is placed on her stomach because she can feel that it's starting to hurt just a bit. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I promise I'll keep it in mind, a tiger! Oh, do you think we could get matching ones!?" She questions, that seems cute as heck, she couldn't pass that up. She does need to invest in other clothes but she's so use to wearing her school uniform, the cute skirt and tie that dons upon the blouse she wears.

The fact the male thinks that well, she'd burn the house down, "I can do a little, my parents were candy makers so I know how to be careful. You could trust me just a bit!" Or maybe not, she would have to prove herself. Her parents and even her friends have shown her the ropes so it couldn't be that bad as he believes it to be. "I won't burn the house down, it's our only home! I can't have us living out on the streets!" Unless, he wanted Honoka to die with the housing so he could get some cool eye power-- sounds fun, wanna try?

"If we had to pay mortgage, I'd just pay that and everything else. I can do it, I'm not poor.. Besides, Nico wouldn't have it if what we did didn't give us some cash." She speaks, one of her friends that helps within her singing gigs. To get together with Nozomi, Nico and Maki is how they spent their time and making money. Though, she wants to keep her idol life separate from Noboru, he seems like he's already fed up by how she does things now. She doesn't want to hear him yell at her about performances though she finds it fun and wants to bring a smile to people's faces, he just seems as if he wouldn't enjoy it.

She notices him looking at her outfit and she jumps, "Do you have something against my uniform! Nico says some people find it cute so.. It can be used for the things.." That she does which she doesn't wish to speak about. Once her hand is taken, she's shocked that he's even taken it. Her eyes widened at the sight when he turns his head, she can't help but stare and take the warmth that's from his palm. She holds his hand in her own, it's not a rough hold but a light one. "OK, let's go!" She matches his pace so that they could get to the grocery store, looking forward and the idol hums lightly to herself of a song she's had stuck in her head lately.

"YES!!!! Y-..  I mean.." She lowers her voices because maybe that's too loud, "Yes! We're here, this is where everyone shops mostly they have good prices." She raises her free hand to scratch her cheek as she waves at some of the local people, some of the cashiers already know who she are. It's a rather large grocery store with about thirty aisles for them to go down, the female looks up to read whatever sign is close to see what the sales were, not like she cared, she just wanted all the stuff.

When her nail brushes the tear off, his eye shut in reaction. A bottom lip pokes out in a pout as he squints up at her, he can’t help but feel childish!! Noboru was a man who needs no babying! Luckily, she turned around to lock the door before he could yap. At least by locking the door, Honoka earned a point in the “Responsible Sibling” section of Noboru’s mental chart. Not that he kept score.

“Your clothes are fine…” His head tilts to the side, what’s so cute about a high school uniform? Maybe this is a high school girl’s thing… An elementary schooler wouldn’t understand!  “Come on, let’s go!” He would leave her behind if he could, but he knew nothing about the location of the store. Striding a few steps ahead, he pauses for her to catch up. Eyes stay straightforward as he matches with her pace.

 “W-What are you doing!!” He watches both their hands swing up and down in unison, then looking left and right so see if anyone was watching. Feet fumble to keep up with her pace; good thing they’re still in the neighborhood area, so no one seems to be out and about. This must be sibling bonding! “It’s Noboru Kodo.” His name. She does have the right to know his name. Like she said, he would rather be referred to it than another, but—Oh no. Pinching the cheek now? “H-Hey!! Stop!” Arms flail in Honoka’s direction, not to hit her but as an attempt to stop her indulging. If he has to deal with this every day…! A whine escapes from his throat, hands pushing her back.  

He finally is released from her grasp and steps a few feet away. Rubbing his cheek, he glares at the other with a salty look. “Get whatever, this is your money…” Mental note, he needs to find a job and not freeload. “I’ll make the list,” he pulls out his phone with a tiger-striped case. With a few taps and seconds, a list of Honoka’s suggestions is made: bread, eggs, strawberries, sugar.

 “Milk…” A single word is muttered and he adds it to the shopping list. He looks up to the sky in thought, “…and fish,” another item is added. “I’ll pay you back for anything you get today when I can…” He doesn’t connect the dots that the choice of foods sounds like one of a cat’s, they aren’t even his favorites, but it’s alright. At least he didn’t crave the minerals. “Do you know how to cook? We can look up recipes,” Noboru himself never had to cook; his mom did while he went out to the card shop for most of his days.

“We can figure out more stuff when we’re there.”

[idolista-blog]

It wouldn't take long to get to the store, knowing this place like the back of her hands honestly though she's wondering if the other is keeping out for signs so he can remember his way here.  Part of her is doing this so that he understands what to do, how to get there and things of that matter but it seems that nothing she does truly flies with him. The motions done are negative, the grasp she had on him is broken from how he pushes her away. Making distance, a type of separation that even she can't fix at this moment. She stands in place to stare at him, did he really hate this that much!?

Honestly, this isn't going like how it does in the story books at all! "Was that too much?" She asks from the distance between them, her voice raises so he can here but he probably doesn't care since what he's said is final. "I'll make sure not to squeeze as tight next time, how about that!?" Maybe that's what got him, maybe her pinching was just too much for him but it wasn't as ruthless as Nozomi who'd grope whoever went against her. This made Honoka wrap her arms around her breast and shudder slightly, she has a feeling that she'd get in trouble for thinking such a thing.

Little did she know, Nozomi-chan is always watching. Lol.

Anyway as she shakes that off, she recites his name to herself and speaks again. "Which one is preferable than, Noboro or Kodo, which do you like. I want the closest one so we can be close friends! Maybe I can even give you a cute nickname, waa, what about that?" Honoka's gaze falls upon the device within his grasp, seeing that it's a cute styled phone. Now that she looks at him, his hair, his shirt.. even the phone. "Kit.. kat.. Kitkat is a cute name, huh? Let me call you that."

Kitkat is a cute name. Isn't a kit a baby cat.. and kat sounds like cat! Hopefully he likes it because Honoka sure does. "Huh? My money?" She snaps her fingers as if he's right, this is her money that she's worked very hard for but. "It's our money, as well. You live with me now so it's for both of us, alright. There isn't any, 'this is yours' and 'this is mine' I like the term, 'ours'! What do you think?" The idea to her is fascinating and this is how things are supposed to go now, he is her brother and she has to take care of him.

Now what he names out.. this is really something. "Do you like milk and fish together?" Isn't that what kittens eat. Isn't that cute, what did this all remind her of? Who knows! "Don't pay me back at all, I won't take it. I'm happy enough knowing I'm able to help in someway." The only minerals he needs is protein and stuff unless he wants to eat rocks, honestly. Severa from Fire Emblem ate dirt and rocks, he could do the same. "Cook.. well. You see." Last time she cooked is when μ's came over to help her with that. "With you by my side, we'll make something really good because.. you'll help me right? You won't let me cook alone, I have to make the perfect meal for you after all." Holding out her hand to him so that he can take it, she remembers that he probably didn't want to be touched. [Kuzco Voice] No Touchy [/Kuzco Voice].

"List down everything you want, we can make a feast!! Perhaps?" Perhaps she is right! "Now take my hand, I don't want you to get lost or anything!"
