aoi promised to give you her number and go on a date with taichi she will be waiting for you tomorrow at salon de marie but the event is only unlockable between 12PM and 4PM tomorrow so don't miss it or you'll be locked out and unable to collect the cgs
aoi sent you a picture it's not lewd and sfw eru is in it too photo53.png
[The picture clearly is up high in Prismatica. How did she get up that high? Only a few know.]
[Aoi arrives right in front of Salon de Marie exactly at 11:59 AM. While she may be careless with plenty of things, this is a time-sensitive scripted event. She stands in front of the cafe in her usual school uniform outfit. She doesn't look like she's looking for anyone, instead just standing there. She's not responding to her surroundings; the sounds, the smells, the sights, and other people around her don't seem to affect her at all. It's almost like she's in some sort of dormant state. To say it's weird would be an understatement.
She's fully prepared to stand and wait for Taichi until 4PM even if he told her he'd be there at noon.]
[ Taichi doesn't know what that means about the cat but he doesn't understand like, a lot, so he just lets it go and focuses on way overdoing it because Taichi tends to go overboard.
Which means when he shows up at Salon de Marie, it's wearing a suit jacket over shorts and a t-shirt. Yes in pink. It's a first date so he's trying to go for formal and casual at the same time. He's pretty sure he looks fly!! He also brought one flower (since it's a first date, more than one is too much according to his research-- he's got notebooks and notebooks on dating, he's got this!). It is a single yellow pansy. He didn't know what her favorite flower was, so he went with his image flower, the pansy.
He shows up running and out of breath, because he made sure to get there on time by 12 but had to run to get there. He swings the cafe door open with a wide motion and stands there for a few seconds to catch his breath. Thankfully, he's pretty active so it doesn't take long, but he does get asked to move by someone else trying to get in. He looks for the girl in the picture, slowing down when he sees her just kind of.. standing there next to the entrance where he just stupidly and dramatically blew past. He comes back out after letting the person who was trying to get in passes with a sheepish grin. ]
[When Aoi hears her name, she knows who it is before even looking at him. After all, this is an event between her and Taichi. She doesn't say anything yet, looking at him. Special events like this usually unlock special outfits and items so she's not surprised. Maybe she should have worn something special but the game hasn't given her anything yet.]
Taichi, [Her voice is monotonous.] Aoi's ready to begin the special event. [Him running past her and rushing doesn't seem to faze her at all.] Do you want to get started? You should save before the event starts so you can go back later and unlock all the CGs.
[She looks at the flower and back at him.] You've already raised one extra affection point. Aoi wonders if you will reach the ten needed to make sure the event is successful.
Is that your way of saying if I mess up you'll give me another chance..?
[ The faith she doesn't have in him..!! Sob. Well, he can't really blame her. He lacks any experience. The only love letter he's ever gotten was from a 6-year-old fan. The only experience he has with ladies is with the magazines hidden under his pillow..! Well, he guesses he's lucky she's giving him two shots... she's kind of odd, but it's cute in a way too, and Itaru talks like that sometimes so it's not too hard for him to translate. ]
T-Ten? How do I get all.. oh! This is for you!
[ He holds out the flower he brought. Maybe that's an "affection point"? ]
[Compared to him, Aoi's not showing much emotion or a reaction at all. She can pick up how he's feeling, but she doesn't really show it or purposely try to ease his worries. She simply just tells what she believes.]
Yes, but this event shouldn't be too hard. [She's not some tsundere or has negative affection points towards him.] Aoi wants you to do well.
[She looks and takes the flower, looking at it as if she's never seen a flower before. She then looks back at him.] Thank you, Taichi. [In that brief moment, her difficult to read tone and body language changes. She shows a warm smile, her voice sounding heartfelt. She really is appreciative of such a gift. She looks at the flower again, smelling it.]
Aoi'll treasure it and make sure it goes into her gallery. [Her normal tone and deamoner returns as she stops smelling th flower. She still holds onto it, keeping it close.] Do you want to progress to the next scene? Aoi wants to eat some chocolate.
[ He's definitely having a hard time getting a read on her, which is pretty weird. He might not be smart, but he's usually pretty good at at least telling emotions. He'd be a pretty bad actor if he couldn't, but... Ahh, he feels lost. Maybe he's finally gotten a date and it's made him go braindead. Worst case scenario, but probably he should've expected as much!! ]
It's a pansy. It's my uh.. image flower, I guess? [ He grins sheepishly. ] We had to pick them for our profiles at the theater. It's my favorite. Let's go get some chocolate!
[ He says it excitedly, though he didn't realize what all the cafe they're at has. Well, he'll find out. Taichi likes junk food, but he can eat most things so it'll be fine no matter what. ]
I'M DYING. who knew taichi-kun was such a pervert (ノ∀￣〃) if you wanted me to slide into you then you should have told me before now. don't you know how to set the mood at all? geesh~
i was gonna suggest meeting up at your place but who knows what may happen? my innocence is at stake here now
[ Taichi does have some sense of fashion. He buys weekly fashion magazines even (though his favorite part is relationship advice and quizzes). He wants to make sure he's dressed appropriately since he doesn't know where they're growing. ]
just taking you out for some fast food. thought you'd like that better than anything else. if you don't want that then we can figure it out.
see you in ten.
[So it's casual but when Hikaru's knocking at Taichi's apartment, he doesn't look casual even if he thinks he does. Growing up in high fashion gives you weird ideas about fashion. He's wearing black jeans and a t-shirt, and a large over-sized coat on. With at least five different necklaces and a handkerchief tied around one of his thighs.]
[ And yet, he doesn't got it. Maybe it's because he knows Hikaru is into fashion, or maybe he just wants to impress, but he wants to look good even if they're just going out to get fast food.
Unfortunately, he's still not exactly making bank even with a part time job, a lot of auditions, and hand-holding. So he can't go out and get something super amazingly brand name like he wants to. He ends up with a pair of color spliced joggers and two layers of different solid t-shirts on. He has a chain necklace and his usual full set of earrings from home on. He's also got athletic shoes on, but they're the kind that he clearly saved up for that costs $200 and he would die inside if they got dirty.
The door swings fully open once Hikaru knocks to reveal his studio behind him, an excited look on his face. ]
Come in! I'm almost ready!
[ He has to style his hair still. It's a little flat because he hasn't messed with it yet. ]
[At least to Hikaru, Taichi still looks casual enough. But he also has the eye to be able to tell that Taichi put some effort into this. He'd told him he cared about these things and so Hikaru doesn't think too much about it.
Although Kaoru had told him once that caring about people is thinking about the little details. Taichi wants to look good, so...]
You look nice.
[There! He sets the gift bag he has for him on the nearest surface.]
Want me to do your hair for you? I'm a professional. [He's the son of one but being trained by her counts, right? And he's trying to think of Taichi for today. His execution might not be the best but the spirit is there.]
Eh?! Hehe, I better at this point or I'm not gonna stand a chance!
[ At standing side by side with Hikaru, he means. He's seriously impressive! Though it's not as though taichi isn't used to standing next to people who are more impressive than him. ]
Bathroom is this way!
[ He heads toward one of two doors in the apartment, holding it open.]
[It's hard to stand out next to somebody from high fashion but Hikaru is also very handicapped here without his fortune. Even if him and Kaoru are easily building it back up with how easy it is for them to make chroma. But Hikaru works with what he has and he thinks Taichi doesn't do too bad of a job.
In his bathroom, Hikaru doesn't bother with manners as he just goes through Taichi's things to get the product and a towel to save his clothes.] Still trapped in a weird world with perverted aliens so you know, same old crap. [He looks Taichi straight on to see what he wants to do. Taichi's usual style isn't hard to copy but Hikaru loves working on other people although Taichi's hair isn't long enough to do a lot with it but still. As he's covering him with a towel and starting to brush through his hair, he grins.] What about you, birthday boy? You're older than me now. Should I call you 'Taichi-senpai'?
[ Hikaru has a little over 4 inches on Taichi, so he isn't too worried about finding a place to sit down so Hikaru can get a better view. Hikaru can probably see fine, but he'll move however the other boy directs him if he does. He doesn't have anything embarrassing in the bathroom, mostly just hair products and make up, hair dye, skin care, and a pack of something called man wipes. None of it is the high end brands, but he's got most of what he thinks he needs.
He waves a hand in front of his face back and forth like he's shooting away Hikaru's idea.]
No way, no way, no way! If you call me that I get to call you Hika✨chan.
[Hikaru does eye man wipes because what the hell is that but he won't be too mean on Taichi's birthday.
Maybe there's nothing high end but Hikaru has also had to get used to not having his usual stuff so it's fine. He's learned how to work with what he's got. Rolling his sleeves up and starting to work product through his hair, Hikaru laughs.] I have a senpai that calls me that already so knock yourself out. [Hikaru catches his eye and then smirks.] Taichi-senpai.
[When he's done, it's still similar to what Taichi usually does with his hair but Hikaru changed up his bangs a bit, opening up his face more.] Done. You have nice eyes so you should show them off more. [He moves so Taichi can look at himself in the mirror.] Next time you need a hair cut just come to me. [His mother always said you aren't supposed to give away your services but he wants to do nice things for Taichi and they moonlace when they hold hands so it's fine.]
[ Taichi wipes his ass with aloe and vitamin e, don't judge him. His bum is soft af and he thinks the packaging is cool and manly. Having a clean asshole is manly!!!!
Taichi's pretty sure Azuma would cry if he saw his selection, so he's glad that Hikaru doesn't seem to judge him. He's immediately distracted when Hikaru says that he has a senpai that calls him that already and does get a little pouty. ]
Well if it's someone else's nickname I have to come up with something else...
[ He thinks about it while his hair gets done, staying still and then blushing a little at the compliment to his eyes. He scratches his cheek and grins. ]
Thanks. Are you any good at hairdye? I used to get it done, but I've been trying to do it myself here and I make a huge mess when I do. I have to cover the whole bathroom in towels!
[ Which is why, despite living alone, Taichi has a lot of towels. It should also be noted that this is a big show of trust for Taichi-- he considers his red hair as part of his identity. It's part that he chose, since he's one of those rare anime characters whose hair isn't magically colored. ]
It has to get touched up every week though, that's probably asking too much...
[Almost immediately, Hikaru answers:] I can do it. [Did he sound eager? Maybe. Maybe that's embarrassing? Friendships are so new and Hikaru is quick to try to explain himself.]
I don't mind. There's nothing worse than your roots showing, right? So I'll help you out. Your towels will probably appreciate it. [There. That sounds smooth and he turns to wash his hands.]
It'll be like our weekly thing, you know? Like a salon appointment. Except it's your bathroom instead of a salon.
[It sounds kind of fun but he's come to learn it's easy to have fun with Taichi.]
