anri_sonohara: (W-well You See...)

AND THEN I RETURN 84 YEARS LATER EXTREMELY RUSTY AND OUT OF PRACTICE

[personal profile] anri_sonohara 2017-10-30 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Much the same, the schoolgirl had not received any word from Mikado about any sort of cancellation to their plans. And if she were being completely honest, Anri had not expected there to be any. As much of a wallflower as he was - they both were, she and him - there had been an eagerness and anticipation in his words when Kida first proposed the idea of spending the night out and celebrating the coming of the New Year. Very rarely did she ever hear her schoolmate tell his exuberant best friend no. And even then, it was usually a customary rejection before ultimately giving in to the other's outlandish whims.

She did not want to consider the possibility that something was wrong. But at the same time, there was always a chance. And in the back of her mind, Anri considered calling on the scattering of Saika children in the city to keep a look out and make sure her worries were unfounded. But that would ruin their nights as well, wouldn't it?

What was she to do?

Bear with it, she supposed. Because Kida was still here, and waiting for the night of festivities to begin.

"Um... I guess..." Nervously, she tugged on the sleeve of her kimono and quietly followed along to where he decided to lead her. "So... wh... what should we do, first?"

ANOTHER 45 YEARS LATER...

Kida gave a thoughtful hum as they came in sight of the temple, easily leading Anri along and navigating the already-crowded area.

"It's pretty cold tonight, even with our combined ~HOTNESS RATIO~ that's so far through the roof it's practically in orbit, so we should get amazake while we wait for midnight to come!"

His eyes were eagerly scanning the area as they made their way up the steps, enjoying the atmosphere and the sight of so many people in kimonos, though Kida was extra careful to help support Anri on the snowy stairs.

"It'll be my treat, of course, so don't worry about that!"

BEYOND FASHIONABLY LATE

The grip of her fingers came more naturally when she stopped herself from thinking on it for too long (the other even occasional moved to touch at his forearm when they moved through the thicker parts of the crowd). Because as graceful as Kida liked to believe her to be and said she was, Anri was still not as accustomed to walking in the traditional geta that came with wearing ceremonial kimonos. And while it should not have been too difficult under normal circumstances, having to walk in snow made things a little more treacherous.

She trusted Kida, though, and had faith that he would continue to be her savior. As he (and Mikado) always had been. So the worry was more out of her own habit after consigning to live the life of a parasite for so many years.

"I-i - " She cut herself off, there, at the familiar phrasing, feeling a little like a parrot mimicking words it had heard a hundred times but could hardly understand. More so, now, with the deep plumage of her kimono out on display for the world to see. But she was more than just that, right?

Hadn't she promised herself that after everything?

Taking a breath, her delicate fingers squeezed on his arm again as Anri tried to gather her resolve. And found that her voice came a lot easier once she committed herself to the task.

"I-it's okay, Kida-kun. You... you don't have to do that." Still. Baby steps. "I... I can... pay for myself..."

[1/2] EVEN MORE FASHIONABLE

Kida looked over at her as she gripped his arm, and after giving a momentarily wide-eyed blink, his smile grew warmer. There was a soft sort of sincerity in it that wasn't often present, that Kida himself likely didn't know he was showing as he rested his own hand atop Anri's.

"Ahhh, you say I don't have to, but what kind of man would I be if I made my date pay for things, especially when I'm the one who suggested it in the first place!"

The usual glib cheerfulness slipped back to the forefront of his expression as he continued to babble at her happily, but the way his fingers curled around hers was telling.

"It's not every day that I get the chance to treat a beautiful girl to amazake! In fact, this is the first time I've ever had the chance! So please, Anri-chan-"

Eyelids dropping half-closed, his voice took on a calculatedly would-be seductive edge as he leaned in and murmured beside her ear, "...Let me have the honor? At least this once?"
