So, About Yesterday...; (Takehiro, Makiho, ask)

And so, a long day of classes has ended. Takehiro gave a sigh of relief, stretched, and began moving his class supplies from his desk to his bag. His left sleeve was rolled up to just above his elbow and the right was untouched, and rested at his wrist like normal. He placed the final notebook into the bag and pulled out his headphones. He placed said audio devices around his neck and connected it to his phone. He was all prepared to leave, but, he just... sat there. Something in the back of his mind nagged at him to stay, at least for a little while longer. Strange feeling that; considering he wasn't expecting anyone or anything in particular. It's just that he had to sit there and wait... for something. He quickly looked around at his fellow peers before he turned his attention to the desk in front of him and drummed the beat of a song that was stuck in his head with his fingers.

Soon, many of the other students would clear out of the room, either to go home or to go to their respective clubs. But, there he sat, drumming away and waiting for something -- anything to appear.

What a strange character this Tokugawa was. From her seat a couple desks to the side she observed the boy's puzzling behavior, wondering what the nature of what was keeping him seated could be. But as Makiho was not shy, it would only take a few seconds for curiosity to win, and she stood up and walked calmly towards her rescuer. She made sure to enter the boy's field of vision before leaning in a bit towards him, offering a bright smile. "I felt a little ignored today, Tokugawa-san," she said in a light-hearted joking tone, before straightening up back again. Tilting her head only slightly, she lowered her voice and asked, "Will you be in trouble if someone sees us talking?"

Despite what her expectations of Taiyoutono had been, Takehiro -like certain others she'd encountered- was definitely not like the kind of people she used to surround herself with at Tokyo. She was far from perfect, but being in the elite always meant relationships were formed and split on a monthly, even weekly basis, full of silly drama and other ridiculous problems she'd had to deal with inevitably in support of her friends. It was time to see if Nagashima would be any different.

She looked around the classroom, trying to find anything that would explain the boy staying in his desk: but it didn't seem anyone was coming to pick him up. They were alone now, and Makiho bowed before talking with her voice in a normal volume again. "Thank you very much for your help yesterday. I haven't forgotten my promise... Do you have any plans this evening?" She let a silence hang in the air for a moment and then continued, "I thought I could take you somewhere. If you have club or work to take care of, we can meet another day." She was still smiling, and hoping her classmate wouldn't take it the wrong way.

It's the right way, my dear.

Classmates were beginning to leave the classroom when a voice spoke up to Takehiro. He turned and saw the voice in front of him -- Makiho! That's what he was waiting for. How could he forget? Wait, what was it she just said? Would he be in trouble? He shook his head in amusement, "Nah, nothing of trouble at least. But... There's always those gossip mongers that will make rumors about anything." He gave a light-hearted chuckle.

Suddenly the girl bowed and asked if he was free for the day. Heh, she really is prim and proper. He stood up and shouldered his school bag. "Luckily, Saturdays are free days on my schedule." He motioned towards the door, "We can talk while we walk?" His face lit up as though just remembered something, "Oh! Don't mention it. I was in the right place in the right time. Though..." his face turned to thought, "Can you not mention the, uh, tattoo to anyone? It's kind of a sore subject." He face turned to realization, "Er, I don't mean to imply that you have!" He shook his head to clear his thoughts and open the door and motioned for Makiho to exit first.

The boy's negative answer gave her a nice, fluttering feeling of relief that reflected in her smile. "Ah, that's good to know." She raised her eyebrows and then closed both eyes, bringing one hand to her temple for a moment. "What a pain. Well! Let them talk, isn't that right?" She leaned forward in a cutesy manner and what was she doing, she needed to stop. Makiho quickly straightened her back again, pupils turning to the side and smile faltering almost imperceptibly as she did so. "Lead the way. Until we leave school grounds, that is."

She didn't show any sign of offense at Takehiro's words, and bowed slightly when he held the door for her before walking out. "Of course, I would never tell anyone. Though, if you allow me to be frank..." the girl chuckled shortly, a hand gesturing towards the sleeve over his left arm, "I believe you bring attention to it yourself, Tokugawa-san." Makiho showed him a playful smile, thrilled to see what kind of reaction he'd have to her observation.

Makiho didn't have anything to pick from lockers, not any kind of business to take care of before leaving. So she kept walking next to Takehiro, ready to follow him to wherever he needed go before they would take their leave. "How about lunch, Tokugawa-san? You must be hungry," she asked him as they walked, pulling out her cellphone to start checking the closest cafés and restaurants.

A relief passed over Takehiro when Makiho promised not to tell anyone about his tattoo. He followed her out the door and was hit by her tease about his left sleeve. The large teen couldn't help but smile and shrug, "It's getting hot out... Can you really blame me?" He playfully shook his head as he heartily laughed. He turned to walk to the school's entrance followed by his new proper friend.

"Lunch sounds great Katei-san. Oh, but don't worry about paying. I can pay for my own food." He turned and gave a bright smile. "Though I need to get something from my locker first." He turned back towards the direction the two were heading before he spoke up once more, "So, what place do you have in mind? I know of a few cafes with great tea."

Takehiro reached the lockers and moved to his, but even at a distance something seemed different. There was something on the locker. He wondered what it could be as he moved closer. "Another admirer?" his inner self spoke up in a smug tone. Well, now that he stood right in front of it, it certainly was colorful. He took it off and quickly smelled it. Yep. Another "Confession of Love" note.

This has to be the fifth one since I've transferred here. He shrugged and pocketed the note. Perhaps he'll read it later and see who it's from. He then focused on the actual task at hand and grabbed the items he needed from his locker, placed his outdoor shoes on, and turned to Makiho, "Ready, Katei-san?"

"Yes, I do blame you, Tokugawa-san," Makiho humorously replied, mouth curved up with a snicker. "Why not wear the winter uniform shirt? It's light, and within the dresscode," she suggested raising both eyebrows with feigned seriousness. It was clear from her tone, though, that this was nothing but more teasing; Makiho wouldn't rob anyone of the freedom of expressing their individuality. It was great that Taiyoutono being as prestigious as it was allowed it, Makiho happily donning her favorite jewelry and make-up.

The moment Takehiro brought up money, Makiho closed both eyes and shook her head. "No, absolutely not. My company alone is not enough compensation." Or is it, she almost added, though she did add a wink. "I will accept you choosing where we're eating, though." She smiled brightly at him. "I do love a good cup of tea."

Makiho idled behind her classmate as he got his things from the locker. She wasn't really trying to snoop but the boy's surprise dragged her attention, as it further did the colorful paper and Takehiro sniffing it before pushing it into his pocket. Makiho giggled silently: of course someone like him would be popular with the girls. Athetic, cute, with an accent and -as far as she knew- also a complete sweetheart. I know your pain, she wanted to say, and in fact Makiho contemplated teasing him about the perfumed missive. But that would probably be too much teasing in too short a time span; the last thing she wanted was to make him feel akward around her.

Once the boy was done preparing and asked if she was ready, Makiho nodded exactly once and firmly, eyes full of eagerness. "I am, Tokugawa-san. Seems you're on the lead for this as well?" She would then start following him, and as they made their way out of the school grounds she inquired, "Is this place close by, or should we call a cab?" The girl started to tap at her phone again in case of an affirmation.

Takehiro simply gave an innocent shrug at Makiho's teasing of his dress. He noted her disapproval of his paying for his own meal. "Very well, Katei-san. If you insist, so." Both the wink and Makiho's approval of him choosing the cafe were met by a thumbs up from the large boy. "Awright! I think you'll love it!"

In the school grounds, Makiho had inquired about the closeness of the cafe. "It's close by, we can easily walk our way there. I need to stretch my legs after today. Although, I should probably study more rather than go jogging nearly every day." A quiet chuckle emanated from him. The light press of an item in his pocket brought his thoughts back to the note from earlier. His hand traced the outline of the note once on the outside of his pants. Who could it be from? The perfume certainly smelled familiar... somewhat. Ah, he'd have to look at it once the two reached the cafe.

As the two walked, Takehiro turned to the girl next to him, "So, where are you from? I can tell you're not from around, here at least." His thoughts wondered to the possible answers she could give.
