[Makoto. | The Shinobi of Fate. @HISAZUREFLASH]

Eyes wander to the audience, looking for a moment of support.

"---what?"

[ᅠ 𝐗𝐈𝐕 ┊ 𝐒𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍. @EQUILIBLADE]

" Yes. For the whole weekend. "

[Makoto. | The Shinobi of Fate. @HISAZUREFLASH]

"I'm thrown through too many buildings on a daily basis to remember what day it is; it's always building day."

[Wandering Engineer of Histories @SpannerTCHMG]

"I get where you're coming from. My birthday has felt like normal days for a long time, I say this as it's next month...

[Makoto. | The Shinobi of Fate. @HISAZUREFLASH]

"Oh wait, it was my birthday a few days ago."

[Makoto. | The Shinobi of Fate. @HISAZUREFLASH]

"Obligatory, no one better be messing with my sword."

@HISAZUREFLASH . 🩵

[Makoto. | The Shinobi of Fate. @HISAZUREFLASH]

". . ."
A blink.
Slowly leaning back and a singular finger raised.
"Sorry about this."

What proceeded was the most horrendous of food consumption that could be witnessed, something close to a legitimate felony.
Within 15 seconds, his bowl was empty.

"Yep."

[ᅠ 𝐗𝐈𝐕 ┊ 𝐒𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍. @EQUILIBLADE]

a tilt of her head. a thought, a moment. her eyes journeyed with his before being drawn back to the present & the now.

" … we could take what remains in takeout boxes, " she suggested, a brow raised.

[Makoto. | The Shinobi of Fate. @HISAZUREFLASH]

"I think-. . ."
Eyes momentarily wandered, to glance the room.
Maybe this was too forward, maybe it could be throwing people off their meal.
Maybe tension was rising to an uncontrolled point, an event horizon; consequences.
Then-
it doesn't matter.
"I don't want to think at all."

[ᅠ 𝐗𝐈𝐕 ┊ 𝐒𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍. @EQUILIBLADE]

just as his weakness was her …
heated, tempered steel even went red.

" You’re getting bold … " murmured, under soft breath, " Are you sure you want to play games like this, Makoto? "

[Makoto. | The Shinobi of Fate. @HISAZUREFLASH]

The small voice in the back of his brain finally reacted.
Whispering to him, something fierce.

Leaning forward, across the table until his lips were barely brushing against her own; eyes never leaving her own.
"Nothing wrong, maybe something too good."

That voice?
Get her back.

[ᅠ 𝐗𝐈𝐕 ┊ 𝐒𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍. @EQUILIBLADE]

" Ah? Am I doing something wrong? I didn’t even hint at anything that time … "

a fake pout far from innocent, framed as her chin leaned forward & placed themselves upon her hands. fluttering eyelashes.

" I can stop though if you want. "

[Makoto. | The Shinobi of Fate. @HISAZUREFLASH]

"You can use me how you-"
Caught.
Jaw chomping shut into a lock.
Eyes wide before looking into the bowl before him, then mustering the confidence to look back up.

Slowly, did a hand raise.
Shakily.
"You know I'm weak for you, this isn't fair."

[ᅠ 𝐗𝐈𝐕 ┊ 𝐒𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍. @EQUILIBLADE]

oh, her dear hero was simply adorable. the twirled lock was released before he short - circuited the restaurant.

" Silky suits you. Be free to use my products as much as you like. "
