‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒ 𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐇, 𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐈𝐑 𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐒 ? It’s like a layer of salt on top of this whole mess that is Mioda. Hajime’s gritting his teeth trying to put up with her, looking just on the verge of just tossing the whole musician out & standing up. Of course, she’s in a pretty good position to keep her balance on his lap at present, & given the kind of person she is, chances are she’s gonna have no trouble at all with him trying to stand up or shove her off. At least, he’s got reasonable cause to believe that’s the case.
So he’s not exactly thrilled with her being here, but he’s sticking it out like a champ. Even with that growing heat of embarrassment under his skin, or flustering or whatever it is. Of course she looks cute winking at him, tucking back her wayward strands & carrying on. Almost exaggeratedly so. But he’s about to go nuts on that freaking hair of hers ( & why’s he so damned flustered just having her thighs pressed flat on his ? ).
❝ So, you’re telling me … you want to play the harp. On my lap. Am I understanding you correctly ? & why my lap in particular, Mioda ? I’m pretty sure you could get away with using Soda’s … although, now that I’ve said it out loud, I can see why you wouldn’t want to. ❞
Eugh. Yeah, that wouldn’t end well for Mioda. & she probably would make it end badly for that dufus after he made it end badly for her, which would create a mess that surely somehow would wind up being Hajime’s responsibility to clean up. So much for that.
❛ OH HAJIME , ever - so - humble hajime. ❜ ibuki taunts lightly. ❛ i guess that's a fair question. ❜ as she hums aloud, mind concentrated on pondering the question, ibuki’s body relaxes by sinking further into hajime’s chest.
surely there were plenty of laps to go around, but this is ibuki, which means things are a lot more nuanced than usual. so, with every new person she contemplates, a finger raises. for example : sonia is the freaking ultimate princess so if anything , it should be ibuki asking sonia to sit on her lap. teruteru or fuyuhiko were out of the question for reasons that should be obvious ———— though , if she were really trying to simulate maximum uncomfortability they would probably be tied for the best option.
ibuki grimaces while revisiting hajime’s suggestion. the thought alone makes her nauseous, imagining the fumes radiating off of soda. gundam’s came with running the risk of either being cursed to ETERNAL DAMNATION or him taking it as some weird act of submission that would inevitably be misconstrued as an invitation for breeding. it was a tie between mahiru and mikan for most comfortable lap, but that was really neither here nor there.
she relents , hands falling at her sides in discomfiture ———— ( hey , wait a second ! is this sh*t really working ? ) ❛ LUCK OF THE DRAW ? ❜ ———— BINGO ! ❛ that’s it ! ❜ she exclaims joyfully, as though having cracked some masterful code. bounding off of the brunette’s lap she turns to face him . . . ❛ while ibuki practices the harp ❜ taking a brief pause to play the air-harp ❛ hajime-chan can see if it helps him remember his talent ! ❜ she plots back into his lap, arms outstretched and hands up towards the sky. ❛ that is , if he can hold his own against ibuki’s mysticism. ❜
