i hate the word "fate"

That sure was a stroke of confidence…he seemed so shy but with no bit of arrogance he really meant that… “Ha so I’m assuming you’re the oldest?”  ”A-ah thank you very much! Though now I feel like I’m really being a load on you…is it alright?” this is so…different? That’s so gentlemanly , what a difference from when she got treated to the ferris wheel, and ended up with her having to runaway from the stranger who took her there.

"It's fine, it's fine! It would be rude if I offered and then got you to pay, right?" He chuckled a little, just to show how casual this all was. He tended to make things awkward, which was okay because he was surrounded by over-confident people who could bring the mood back again, but this was different.

"Ehe yea…" she let out a nervous smile. To be wondering around alone for the past 2 years, The last boy to have spoken to her in that manner was Touya, and it had been 2 years since. She wasn’t exactly a socialite. Conceal what you must she said. She stared at him for a moment without noticing letting out a warm smile “Sounds like you care for them a lot. Your siblings.” He was shy but sweet though she could see through his nervousness. His actions seemed sincere, so she figured she had to be the confident one “Aquarium….alright Shouma-Kun!”

"Okay then! We just need to go on the underground train," he explained. He patted his pocket and realised his wallet was in there, much to his relief. "I'll pay for your ticket if you'd like, and the ride doesn't take too long, so... My treat!"

"Nice to make your acquaintance, Mister Youngblood," the blue-haired boy replied. It was important to act cordial when conversing with a stranger, even if he did feel a little uneasy. "I've never heard a surname like that before... It's interesting! What brings you here, then?"

"2 siblings?? Sounds like you’re busy guess I’m lucky that you’re free today! Truth is I actually just got here a few days ago soo I really don’t know the area ahaha…"  if anything she was more than flattered, but she’s nobody special, not since she was stripped of her title, and even before then she never was, so why’d talk to her? Her doubts were piling up AGAIN. She should at least be honest with herself and admit she was elated.

"Yeah! They're a pesky duo," he joked. Really, it was only Kanba who was pesky (when he was even there); Himari was an angel in comparison. "Well then, why don't I show you a café I know? Or maybe you'd like to go to the aquarium? Me and my siblings go there quite a lot." Maybe he sounded annoying for bringing his siblings up so often, but they were the biggest part of his life.

"A-ahaha only if you’re free! I mean y-yea I have time." she began to stutter AGAIN so different from her normally confident attitude, probably still embarrassed about before,honestly she was actually very elated to have someone offer her company but tried her best to keep it from showing.

"I am free," he answered, straightening out his jacket. "It would be a nice change for my brother or sister to be independent for once, haha! They're always relying on me to look after them." Or, rather, that was what he would like to think. He wanted to be relied on by someone. "So, where to? There's plenty of places to go here."

Kan, Sho… this is happiness.

She couldn’t help but chuckle as his awkward behavior, she could see he was a bit nervous but somehow she found it amusing “Hehe no I’m not but…” she look at him thoroughly “You are right? That’s a school boy uniform!” she hesitated to take a brief pause “U-um you said you’re bored right? W-well I’m alone too and well…” she stopped embarrassed to ask the boy whom she just met to “hang” it was probably too straightforward of her not to mention she had no friends either.

"Well, if you want to, we can just sit and chat, or go to the grocery store or something." That sounds so boring, Shouma. It was the only place he could think of going without it coming across as a "date", but then again, he'd never been on a date before either.

"Ahaha S-shouma-kun was it? Y-yea I’m good and you though by the looks of it so are you hehe…" she couldn’t shake the fact that she might have embarrassed herself by not noticing him at first, not to mention she usually spent her time alone so it had been a while since someone struck an actual conversation.

"Yeah! Well, I'm pretty bored, to be honest... There's only so much a guy can do when the housework's done." Wait, what? You sound like a housewife, Shouma! Get it together...! Yeesh, it was almost obvious why he didn't have many friends. Or maybe he was being too harsh on himself. "So, are you a student...?"

The brunette’s attention was caught as she turned to face the blue haired boy who stood in front of her, flustered, she looked side to side hoping it was her the one whom he greeted “A-ah nice to meet you! I-I’m Touko.”

"Nice to meet you too, Touko-san," he replied, finishing with a nervous laugh. He really couldn't keep up the cool-guy act; perhaps he should just stick to his usual boring personality. "How are you today? Good I hope!"
