"Hm..?" Clifford's gaze went to the petite brunette; his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Japans ace runningbacck..to .who do I owe this pleasant visit..?"

  OOC: You guessed it bby ;D Though it was way, way earlier in the morning than her panicking groggy self had figured, so she ended up sitting mostly-dressed in her room for the span of a couple of hours.

"How about Saturday?"

All Suzuna had to cancel was a cheer meeting (in which the girls went on a lot of tangents and did a lot of complaining and gossiping but nonetheless had fun usually irrelevant to cheer practice) and going shopping with her brother outside town (he reacted strongly at the cancellation, gripping his heart and all, but she honestly did not care).

She spent hours getting ready... a few nights before meeting with Sena. She knew she wanted to look cute and casual, but she also knew it would be good to keep warm. She didn't want to get sick on the ice and worry anyone. It sure was difficult to find cute and warm clothes though. Resolving that she had nothing that met her standards, she flew out of the house and invaded the mall the very next day after school and practice.

After all, though Suzuna didn't realize it at the time, it was her first real date.

....

Ultimately, she decided on wearing her favorite chain necklace under a scarf, a sunflower-yellow crop jacket over a black top, and a miniskirt over a pair of tights (and shorts, you pervert).

Normally she would wear white with small highlights of various colors, but she didn't want to wear something routine for a day that wasn't really routine at all. She'd hung out with Sena before, but it was never just Sena. At least not a full outing of just Sena.

rollingcheer sent: "Senaaa...." She whined, staggering a little, but managing to plop next to him. Suzuna was breathing more heavily than usual and coated in sweat, but she wasn't hurt. "Yaaa, that was exhausting! My throat's gonna be sore tomorrow and my legs are tingling--and I was chasing you guys on skates. SKATES! How does You-nii do this on foot every day?!" She paused, realizing that she was complaining, and pulled her legs to her chest with a simpering grin. "Sorry. You must be tired, too, huh?"

Wide chocolate eyes blinked away the startled surprise to the Cheerleader’s sudden presence, giving her his full attention as his chest heaved with the effort of catching his breath after the Team’s daily laps. A small smile tugged at his tan lips despite his exhaustion, admiring her for how much effort she had put into today’s practice as the stand-in-Manager…or Quarterback…whatever title Hiruma-san had given her. Either way, she had led the practice, and that wasn’t an easy thing to do.

Auburn crown shook gently back and forth, already calming his lungs from the exertion. “…Naah, it…it’s more like…I’m used to it? Your job today was a lot harder, Suzuna.” The smile that he gave her was honest, praising her for a job well done in Mamori-neechan and Hiruma-san’s absence.

"O, Oh." Somehow that was unexpected, though she should have known he'd say something similar. "Thanks?"

Then, her eyes narrowed.

"You flatterer. Why you gotta be a flatterer for, huh? Huh?" Suzuna grinned freely, giggling between her teeth. She did appreciate it, regardless of her prodding. The smallest, most subtle comment from Sena could make an entire training regimen just feel worth it.

Riku stood with his arms crossed. His eyebrow was slightly raised, and he looked down at his friend.
