[ponytailprince]

[of course, his face is insanely red right now as well. it was why he called her over here in the first place, but it just took him this long to finally say something.]

I....

[he was never really good with talking, or even expressing his feelings, so this was so difficult for him. he couldn't say much else, he just nodded, looking down now.]

[fairyofwind]

[Izumi gulped and nervously twisted her hands in her lap. It wasn't that she hadn't been thinking about something like this...but to actually have it happen? It was hard to take in. She'd be under the impression that she'd never be anything but a friend, and even that had been a difficult accomplishment.

Oh, but geez. She needed to say something too, didn't she?]

...Grazie. Um, thank you.

[ponytailprince]

[yeah even the friends thing was hard, but maybe that was because he never really considered her a friend to begin with? even back in the digital world they had their moments.

and they were older now so-...]

And you? [does she feel the same?]

[fairyofwind]

[Oh, wow. This was hard. Especially with the thought of all the "I told you so's coming from the community.

But slowly, very slowly, she nods her head.]

[ponytailprince]

[at that his heart starts to beat even faster, he can barely handle it. the damn community and saying they'll get together, he had this planned for a while, they didn't all have to go and rub it in his face!

he was never the sappy or romantic type however, to him it's even a miracle he got this far.... and well...]

So what... what should we do then? [date?!]

[fairyofwind]

[She bites her lip and shrugs.]

I have no idea, actually.

[And she doesn't. What do people who liked each other do, anyway?]

[ponytailprince]

[oh.... well that's a little more anticlimactic than he though.

he sighs a little, a hand reaching up to tug on his bangs as he thought about what to do.]

Great....

[well, he might as well be the one to suggest it.]

Go out with me. [he mutters it a little, but enough for her to hear.]

[fairyofwind]

[She nods again.]

Mhm. Okay.

[And with her face glowing red, she sets her hand down on the small space in between the two of them. She isn't sure what she wants, but part of her is really hoping he'll hold it.]

[ponytailprince]

[...well, kouji may be someone that has a hard time with his own emotions, but he's not oblivious. he knows what she wants and... he slowly reaches out to her, his hand touching her own and eventually he moves to lace their fingers together.

aah... actually holding hands, this was so weird! but he really liked it too.]

Alright... thanks, Izumi.

[fairyofwind]

[A laugh bubbles out of her as she gently squeezes his hand.]

You don't have to thank me for it.

[ponytailprince]

But...

[SOO AWKARD!]

...I guess not, yeah. Maybe I'm thanking you for putting up with all my teasing too. [he does it a lot...]

[fairyofwind]

Mm.

[She looks a bit serious.]

You could cut down on that. I almost didn't believe what you just said because of it.

[ponytailprince]

But it's fun teasing you, especially seeing how annoyed you get.

[ s m i r k s ]

Your face gets all red and you get so defensive... it's great.

[fairyofwind]

[And she's trying really hard not to do that right then.]

One day I might not forgive you for it, you know.

[ponytailprince]

[he shrugs, still holding her hand, but with his free hand he points at something.

...basically trying to get her to turn her head, distractions and all that.]

[fairyofwind]

What?

[Lucky for him she falls for it and turns her head.]

[ponytailprince]

[goodie!

because kouji is just going to lean in and kiss izumi on the cheek, lingering there for a moment before pulling away, smirking a little.]

[fairyofwind]

[She gasps and jerks her head back to look at him. Her cheeks are brilliantly red now while her eyes widen and her jaw drops open.]

W-what are you doing!?

[ponytailprince]

Sealing the deal.

[and he's looking pretty smug about it.]

[fairyofwind]

[Flustered and embarrassed, Izumi still manages to give Kouji a good shove.]

Next time ask!

[ponytailprince]

[SHOVED?! but he can't stop grinning, like he won something big here.]

I thought it was more romantic this way.

[fairyofwind]

[YES. SHOVED.]

It would be better if you weren't sneaky about it.

[ponytailprince]

[oh really...]

Does this mean you want to try again?

[fairyofwind]

[Hey. Hey. Kouji is the one who should be embarrassed here! She averts her eyes and blushes even more.]

Maybe. I don't know.

[ponytailprince]

[oh, he's not embarrassed only because he thinks she won't act on his teasing, he prefers seeing her blush.]

You don't know?

[see, teasing.]
