“tabi’ no! i want the chiikawa one!”
it’s one of those rare weekends where you and tabito get to spend time completely along together. you’d spent majority of his two week break with other people around, like his teammates of family
it was a breath of fresh air to have him to yourself for a moment despite the current situation. your both stood at a random claw machine, him trying to win whatever plushie you desire. however, it seems he’s underestimated how difficult they are. this was now his fifth miss
“darlin’ i cant get it, what’s wrong with the yellow bunny?”
“please please please baby! the chiikawa one’s all i want”
he groaned, knowing he was about to drain another ten dollars on a simple version of gambling. tabito rug his hand back into his pocket pulling out a couple of coins, then shoving them into the machine
“the things i do for you sweethear’ ”
he spoke under his breath while hunching down slightly, his large hands holding the joystick as he manoeuvred the claw. your body inched closer to his from the anticipation and the cold air blasting through the arcade
he began to block out all the surrounding noise, his attention now completely on the claw machine
it took almost twenty dollars and around forty minutes to win over the claw machine but finally, you had the little chiikawa plushie in your hands. tabito had never felt so much relief in his life, not just because he didn’t have to cash out another sum of money to spend on the machine, but because seeing you so excited over a stuffed toy he worked hard to win made his heart swell — not that he’d ever outright admit it
you were both in your own world, tabito too busy staring at you while you tried explaining the big deal about chiikawa — all he managed to take away was that you and everyone else thought the little characters were cute
he reminded himself to make a mental note to add it to the list other cute character like miffy or the one sanrio character you’d always look for in every other store
tabito pulled your body close to his, arm now draped over your shoulders. he took the plushie from your hands as you continued blabbering on about whatever came to mind. the further you walked the louder the arcade got, well one specific group got
“jesus, could’ya be any louder?”
he rolled his eyes as he spoke rhetorically when he felt you stop completely. he heart dropped to his stomach, afraid you had thought he was referring to you
his heart was now in his ass. tabito turned around to unfortunately be faced with the entire blue lock team. he watched his slight horror while you talked to yukimiya and some others
he turned again only to see bachira trying to climb into some claw machine and isagi trying to drag him out while barou yelled to neither of them in particular, rin and reo watched the scene unfold making no effort to intervene. typical
tabito turned once more, watching blue lock’s new captain aiku flirting with some girl as that sendou guy desperately tried to copy his exact strategy on someone else
tabito jumped in surprise whipping his head around so fast it cracked lightly
his hand clutched his chest now faced with both chigiri and otoya
“awww is that for your wittle pawrtner”
tabito’s face twisted into disgust as otoya spoke and chigiri stepped away from him with an audible ‘ew’
“what? so a grown man can’t use a baby voice? wow okay”
karasu looked back over to where you were once standing, only to notice you weren’t there anymore
magically, you materialised in front of him, shoving you shoulder bag into his hands. he gave you a quirked eyebrow at the whole ordeal
“i’m trying to go up the claw machine for another plushie? bachira couldn’t get it for me…he almost got stuck”
you said it like it was supposed to be obvious. there was far too much going on at once, his face turned into pure confusion before you went on your tippy toes, holding the opposite side of his head, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek, then falling flat into your feet. as quick as the first, you grabbed the back of his neck, turning his head and pulling him down for a much longer kiss on his lips
tabito’s shoulders relaxed as he melted into your kiss, he could taste the artificial cherry lip balm, his tongue darting out slightly to give it a lick before you pulled away and sped off, living him stunned
“aww, you two are just soo cute!”
“seriously, stop doing that voice”
