Want to be cloooooose

Who: Hayate Ayasaki, Mitsuru Kirijo
Where: Olivine City!
When: 5/8, Noon!
Summary: Hayate invited Mitsuru out on a date for her birthday! Hopefully he will not ruin it horribly.
Rating: ... PG-13 at best for movie themed antics.
Log:

*It wasn't unusual for Hayate to be early for something... In fact he always tried to be early, which is why when he sent Mitsuru the text to show up at the movie theater at around noon, he fully intended to get there a good thirty minutes early!

... something he was regretting significantly at this point, considering he had been nervously pacing in front of the theater for the entirety of the time. Should he have dressed up nicer for this? Was tossing on his nicest coat on top of his uniform not enough?? What if she didn't like the movies playing? What if something came up and she's late?? What if she didn't show up at all?! There could totally be more important things for her to do on her birthday than go out with him, right??*

Ahhhh... Why does this all suddenly feel like I'm going to be willingly participating in a train wreck?

*fffff Mitsuru why. He's just going to be pulling his legs up a bit to rest his arms on them. Since it's not like he's anywhere close to bold enough to put an arm around her*

... it's a very lovely view.

1/3

--ah, ye--

[combat_butler]

*... WAIT. WAIT. This is one of those prime opportunities, right?! The time where a boyfriend has to prove his worth and give the proper reply the girl wants to hear? But which reply is that? ... ah! I got it!*

[combat_butler]

--yeah! But not nearly as lovely as you, Mitsuru-san! ♥

[ZING. SCORE A POINT FOR HAYATE. She is now blushing prettily... again, and glancing over at him slightly]

M-mmm... clever. T-thank you.

[combat_butler]

*ffffft h-he wasn't sure if that would work so is blushing a bit himself*

--ah, w-well... It's just the truth of the matter~

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

It's... quite kind of you to say.

[combat_butler]

L... Like I said, it's the truth... *looking over to her with a small smile* You are one of the prettiest girls I've ever met. It makes this whole situation seem a little unreal...

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

Hmm? Why unreal?

[asking with innocent curiosity]

[combat_butler]

--eh? Ah, that's... um... *looking forward to Olivine in the distannnnce as he flusters a tad, tapping his fingers together nervously* You just, ah... I always thought you were way waaaaaaay beyond someone like me, you know...? I mean... If I tried to tell someone we were dating-- someone who knew the both of us... I wouldn't be surprised if they thought I was lying.

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

But... wouldn't they already know that I was fond of you?

[reeeeaching for his hand maybe?]

So I don't understand why they would think you were lying, if they truly knew both of us.

[combat_butler]

... eh? I, um... I-I more meant someone that only knew us casually, not... Um... Like Asuka-san, Keiichi or Rika...

*blinking at her reaching for his hand as, he's still tapping his fingers nervously here.*

Do... Do you talk about me with other people...?

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

Mm. [a nod] I do. Several people have asked specifically about you, actually.

[... still reaching, but it's slow going]

[combat_butler]

--eh? Um... Co... Considering I haven't been assassinated or drilled for information, I... I'm going to assume none of those people want to end me.

*hand status: still nervous and oblivious*

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

Of course not. Why would you assume they would?

[CONTACT INITIATED]

[combat_butler]

A girl like you, talking about a guy like me and making it sound like you're fond of me or even outright saying we're dating... I... I wouldn't be surprised if someone else who had interest in you wanted to try to defeat me in a rage.

*blink. blink blink. ... fffff blushing more and looking a little unsure as to whether he should be holding her hand back or if she is just trying to place hers on his or....... ahhhh*

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

. . .

[she just shakes her head] Ah... I'd much rather they didn't. I am... allowed to make my own choices, correct?

[She seems content with placing her hand on his for now]

[combat_butler]

... eh? W-Well, yes, but... *kind of burying his face against his legs and just peeking over at her since just ahhhh this is embarrassing* Being that choice is still really hard to believe when I stop and think about it...

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

[a pause, before she asks, somewhat shyly herself]

Does it make you happy?

[combat_butler]

--eh?! *immediately lighting up in full, going wide eyed and frantically looking away* I, uh-- I-I'm still amazed this is even happening right now and-- I mean, I'm having a lot of fun, but-- I-I always have fun when I'm with you so that isn't really-- Er... N-Not fun I meant-- I ... I'm always happy when I'm with you like this! Wait, no, what I mean is... I... As long as you're happy, I'll be happy with whatever choices you make!

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

. . .

[w-why is that so cute] I'm... glad.

[combat_butler]

Uuuu... *burying his face against his legs in full this time* I'm glad that you're glad, but I feel like I said way too much...

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

Too much? I'm not sure there is such a thing, in this case.

[combat_butler]

*peeking over at her* Re... Really...?
