Um... hello, everyone. I'll try not to other you, and make this quick. I just had a few things to say.
[To make sure she's doing this right, she has a small notepad. page flip.]
First... during that zombie event, when were trapped in our fantasies... Several of you tried to help me get out of that place, and even though I was really stubborn, I really appreciate what you did. So, thank you.
[page flip.]
Second, Valentine's Day was yesterday. Normally I would have given my friends some chocolate, but, um, since we just had an event, I wasn't sure if anyone would be in the mood to have some... B-But I'll be making some in the kitchen, so if you still want one, you can come here and take some.
[page flip.]
And last, um... I write down what happens every day in my journals, but lately I was thinking, I'd like to start putting photos in there too... Of both good and bad memories. So I was going to ask the closet for a camera... b-but I don't know a lot about cameras. So, um, I guess, I just wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions or tips about that kind of thing...?
[She double-checks her page... nothing forgotten, and not too many apologies! Success! She looks very proud of herself.]
Th-that's all! Thank you, chocolates, and cameras! Th-thanks for listening.
((OOC: feel free to go action if you want chocolates!))

Reaaaally?
[ But she really knows how to jeopardise his emotions very well, because the smirk's now wiped clean with what she just said. Oh no.
Oh no.
And SLAM! goes that hand to his own face. What's a better way to hide a heating up face than making it red on his own? Surely there ain't no other! ]
You, you think so?
[ Nope. That didn't just happen. Nothing happened, he didn't just smack himself in the face. ]
...O, of course!! HAHAHA!! I'm sure you do!!
[ Mondo, are you broken. ]
Time to eat the chocolate!!
[ Nope nope nope nope his heart isn't blooming, there ain't no flowers decorating his heart or anything, he's good he's fine he's totally alright, don't look at him, he isn't red to his neck or anything, he's just... he's just gonna... eat the chocolate... at the corner...
He's Fine. ]
no subject
Yeah, he. He just smacked himself in the face. What's going on anymore? But her own heart's pounding, because Mondo can be a total scary greaser biker, or an absolute goofball. And both are A-O-K in her book, but it's the goofball thing that points out that Mondo
can be
very cute.
He's like his own puppy! That's it! If he had a tail right now, would it be wagging? He wears his expressions on his sleeves, shirt, pants, EVERYWHERE IS WHAT I'M SAYING. She winds up giggling a few more times due to the sheer absurdity of it all.]
Heeheeheeheehee! ... Enjoy your chocolate, Mondo!
[That's one way to lighten the mood! With a few more delirious giggles, she heads back to the cooking corner to resume making chocolates.]
no subject
Yeah, his imaginary tail is wagging like crazy right now. Never mind that he doesn't even notice that she's noticing it, he thinks he's the smoothest criminal ever right now, totally nailed that. Or more like the coward's avoiding looking towards Tsumiki just in case he can see that she actually noticed it. He totally nailed it, no contest!!
Okay now he's just. Gonna give the chocolate a try.
...But now that he's sitting down looking at it, he feels very bad about eating it, somehow. It looks really cool he'd even like to display it in his room! But if he doesn't eat it, it'll melt eventually, and it's also bad to Tsumiki, right? What can he do to keep this...
Oh.
Right. Pictures! Cameras! Just like what Tsumiki said in the network earlier! He clears his throat, trying to get her attention. ]
Didja, uh, manage to get a camera or somethin'?
[ Said aloud without looking at her, he's still nailing it. ]
no subject
Yes! Yes I did!
[Kokichi dropped one off earlier, and she moves around the kitchen to grab it - a little classic Polaroid.]
See? It's just what I wanted! Now I can take pictures of all my friends and all the fun times we have!
[Actual reason - her child-turned friends were SO ADORABLE AND SHE REGRETS NOT TAKING THEIR PHOTOS SO HARD, GODDAMN, BABY ANGE, SUNBURST FOAL, CHICK NAGEKI, HER LIFE IS FULL OF MISSED OPPORTUNITIES.]
And then I might put them in my journal... or, oh! On my wall! That way, when I wake up, the first thing I see are all my friends having good times!
[Can you handle the adorableness, Mondo? CAN YOU HANDLE IT???]
no subject
THAT'S!! THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!!
[ Talks really loud. Or more like yells.
Because holy shit on top of her being adorable they... actually think of the same thing?? Sort of??? He wasn't thinking about putting it on the wall so it can be the first thing he sees in the morning but now he is. GOD. AND HE CAN'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY??? (What opportunity, ask the back of his mind, but his instinct says vroom first, think later.) ]
...CAN... [ Inhaaales. ] CAN WE TAKE ONE.
[ Said really fast, though not as fast as the earlier mesh of words. Whatever, he's said it, he can't take it back. ]
no subject
Yes, absolutely! My first photo with my friend! This will be so nice! You'll be the first thing I see every morning!
[She quickly walks to his side, huphuphup, and then holds up the camera.]
Let's see... I think, to get it, we have to be, um...
[All you have to do is press the button, right? But she wants to make sure they're both in the photo, so while she holds it out, she's just gunna
cuddle in close
their cheeks are 'this' close to touching.]
HmmmMMMMMmmMMMM.... Will that be good, you think?
[Okay, to be fair, doing this IS making Mikan's heart beat rapidly and her cheeks blush. But being this close to a friend is normal, right? If this was Sayaka, she'd embarrassed too, right?
... okay so he's a boy that makes it different.]
rip mondo
"You'll be the first thing I see every morning!"
GODDAMMIT!!! He fights back the urge to punch the wall or the floor by tightly gripping his fist on his sides, taking in as much air as he can. He's alright. He's alright. He'll just... bend his knee a bit so she won't have to stretch her arm too far. Like, he could totally help her with it, but it's her camera, he's gonna let her do what she wants. Yeah. Yeah! He's... he's getting the hang of it, this is okay. Nothing's weird. Nothing's wrong. Everything is okay.
That's what he thought, until the finishing blow is delivered.
Who would've thought Tsumiki is an undefeated champion in MMA, huh? That was a roundhouse kick followed by a sharp jab to the face. Mondo isn't even red anymore, no expression is left in his face. His soul has ascended. When she asks the question, he just dumbly nods his head, body and face rigid facing the camera.
Is that his first mansion death? Maybe.
Goddammit he forgot to say something about the chocolate!!
Ok back to dying. Tsumiki will find him still rigid even after she clicks the shutter. ]
more brutal than being turned into butter
[Click! She then instantly pulls away from him so she can flip the camera and see the picture. Phew! She wasn't sure how much longer she could've lasted that close. What had she been thinking? She should have asked, first. Maybe he'll accept an apology.]
Let's see how we... huh?
[She expected her own face to look a little silly, blushing with a shy smile, but, uh.
what's going on with Mondo there.
He's not even smiling. He kind of looks like he was hit with a semi. Maybe he really was offended by them being so close and not asking permission? She looks up and -
he looks exactly the same.
uh.]
.... Mondo? I-I'm sorry, I did it wrong, didn't I? I should have asked first!
help make it butter, mikan
Ahhhh...
[ He makes a pathetic noise, slowly slumping down... conveniently to the chair by the counter. ]
You're unbelievable.
[ His voice is muffled within those hands, and it probably won't be really clear, but the suffering at least will be conveyed very well. Just give him a few more seconds, he'll just calm his mind down a bit, lean back on the chair for a while more and...
A long, suffering sigh is heaved as he finally peels the hands off his face. The redness has subsided, mostly, but there's still a tinge of pink in his cheeks. He doesn't look particularly angry, not at all, but he doesn't look very happy either. At least, not obviously happy. ]
...It's... fine. I wasn't...
[ It's not fine, but how does he put it? It's not like he hates it, in fact, quite the opposite! But, how do you word. How does a Mondo Oowada word. He scratches the back of his head in frustration, not knowing what to say nor how to say it. ]
Argghhh, this is troublesome. You did nothin' wrong!! I'm just... I'm just not used to taking pictures with girls before, that's all!
[ That's mostly the truth, but that's definitely not all. He can't say what he doesn't understand, though, so. Well. That's about what he can say for now. Whatever, he's bouncing off the chair, snatching the polaroid from her hands after putting the photo that comes out from it on the counter. ]
We're taking another one. With the chocolate you made.
[ Stop looking so pouty, Mondo. ]
there's a margarine of error here
Huh? Really? You seem like the type that'd be popular with everyone.
[Sure, he said he has little experience in actual 'love', but how does a cool biker dude not have admiring fangirls? Shoot, Mikan would've assumed he's had several girlfriends, if he hadn't mentioned that bit earlier. But! It is a perfectly reasonable explanation for his fluster. Even though these two are close, they are a Boy and a Girl! Then, he throws her off again.]
The chocolate? Really?
[Aw, shucks. She can't help but feel a little proud of that. He's such a swell dude. But... if he wants to get the chocolate in, that'll be tricky. They'd have to squish again while balancing the chocolate and the camera, and he almost passed out. What can she do to prevent him from having a heart attack?]
Um, okay...! This time, you can hold up the chocolate, and I'll take the picture from here.
[No closeness, no sweating, no rigor mortis. Easy peasy, right?]
spread the love!
[ Popular no, infamous yes. Alright yes, he's definitely popular, but only amongst fellow delinquents because he's a strong fighter and a remarkably great biker. Outside of that circle, people avoid him like a plague. Mondo Oowada equals trouble. No one likes trouble.
But that's whatever. Photos! ]
Eh? Ah...
[ Oh no, his imaginary dog ears are drooping. But she's got a point, he can't handle any more of that. It's a shame, but the point is he wanted to get the picture of the chocolate, so! This is fine. ]
Yeah, good idea!
[ This should be okay, for now. Maybe one day he'll be better at this, uh. Proximity thingy. Ye. He grabs the chocolate and holds it up, pulling the best grin he can pull in front of the camera. ]
i can't believe it's not tsundere
Anyway, photo! With a smile, click! All done! She looks down at the finished result, and turns it over so he can see for himself.]
There! Picture perfect! Heehee. Thank you so much! ... I think I'll carry the camera around, so I never miss an opportunity to take a photo of us doing something fun.
[Because that's a guarantee now!]
... I-if that's all right with you, anyway.
BUTTER BELIEVE IT!!
...No, thank you.
[ !!! WHAT. There's a next time? She still wants to take pictures together even if he was such a blubbery mess weirdo about it? Imaginary dog ears and tail perk up! ]
Deal. Maybe I should get one too.
[ A mischievous grin then flashes on his face. ]
I'll take all your ugly expressions.
[ As if Mikan can ever look ugly. ]
... coagulated cow milk pun.
This isn't bullying... this is teasing!!! Friends playing together!!! Okay, she needs to hit back, um, ah, let's see... Oooh!]
W-well, then... I guess you don't want my ugly chocolate!
[SEE SHE CAN PLAY TOO!!! YAYYY!!! She makes a grab for the plate!]
dispenses juice from my eyes AAAAAAA
[ He wasn't expecting the counter-attack. Is that how she's gonna play? The grin just grows wider at that, his hands now sprawling in the air like he's the Wolf ready to catch Miss Little Red Riding Hood. ]
Raahhh!! I'm gonna catch you little!!
[ Run while you can, but don't trip! He's gonna give her the Easy Mode because obviously he doesn't want the chocolate to go to waste. He's just going to step towards her very, very slowly. ]
no subject
[And she's going to back up very, very slowly because she doesn't want to trip either! She holds the plate away, scoot scoot scoot.]
WHAT IS THIS LOVEY DOVEY INTERACTION
[ He still has both hands in the air like he's ready to catch her, stepping slowly, slowly. ]
YOU STARTED IT
[Well, shoot, she only came up with "okay you're not ugly." Thinkthinkthink, what can she handle... She definitely can't handle him calling her pretty, she'd wind up dropping the chocolate in shock. Think, Mikan, think!
... Lightbulb.]
Call me... Call me... call me by my first name!
HEHEHEHE
[ Ohhhhh shit, it backfired. Goddamn!! He freezes on his spot, like he's on a restraint order. ]
...I... I gotta say it?
[ He doesn't look like he doesn't want to do it per se... well okay, he doesn't want to, yes, but more of bashfulness than anything else. Even if he's denying it within himself towards himself. So troublesome!! ]
No bargains?
no subject
[She wants to hear it!!! He's gunna say it in some low cute mumble, isn't he? That's what she's banking on! SAY IT! SAY MY NAME, BITCH!]
no subject
Mondo Oowada, if you run away from this, you're not a man! He knows that, he knows that. Still... goddamn, ain't the hurdle too high?! His raised hands drop as he rubs the back of his neck rather roughly, eyes swimming around. ]
Uh...
[ Okay. He's gonna do this. HE'S A MAN, HE CAN TOTALLY MAN UP. A deep, deep breath. ]
...Right, uh.
[ Say it. ]
So...
[ Say it! ]
M-Mi...
[ The red has made yet another return to his face. Red's so busy today! ]
Mi... ahem.
[ His eyes finally stop at her feet, slowly looking up to the girl who's still facing him with anticipation ー at least that's how those eyes seem to him. Fuck, his heartbeat's pounding real hard in his ears, it almost feels like he can hear them in this room, the hell. It's just a friggin' name, why's he struggling so much?! ]
...Mi, Mikan. [ Fucking finally. ] Can I have the choco?
[ You're goddamned right he totally mumbled that. Congrats, Mikan, you won a jackpot!!
He'll just, drown in the redness of his face, avoiding eye contact. He feels like dying, can someone bury him now. But of course he has to act tough, so now he's crossing his arms in front of his chest like that didn't bother him at all. Even if his face totally tells the story. HUFF PUFF, HE TOTALLY DID IT LIKE A MANLY MAN. ]
C'mon, give it here.
[ Acting grumpy won't make you look any less pathetic, Mondo. ]
no subject
Mmmm, that's good bashful. She's going to treasure that, yes. Sorry that she's bursting into very delighted giggles, but yeah man, you're picture perfect kawaii.]
Heeheeheehee~! Yes, you may have the choco!
[So this is what victory feels like! It's addictive. But she walks right back to him, pushing the chocolate forward.]
Mondo Oowada may have the choco~.
no subject
...You're totally enjoying this.
[ Still mumbling grumpily, but then. That way of handing it over... did an arrow just strike through his heart?
Yep, score. ]
...........
[ That's a long pause, Mondo.]
O, ou.
[ After staring at her with a stupid dumbfounded face for the umpteenth time today, he finally takes the chocolate back in his hand, awkwardly nodding his head as a way of thanks (???). And as he looks at it, he can't really hold back the perk that resembles a very, very faint smile, peeking on the edges of his lips. His very first Valentine's choco! ]
no subject
Heeheehee~!
[Despite the embarrassment in her hair and the reveal of her heartbreak... this has been a very good Valentine's Day. She's going to smile and head back to the oven to finish baking the rest of her little un-decorated chocolates, humming a little.
This is going to make a nice entry in her journal, oh yes.]
no subject
Whoa?!
[ Stop frightening the poor girl, Mondo. Wtf. ]
This's real good?!
[ Okay now he's really gonna preserve the rest of it because not only it looks good and he doesn't want to eat it all up in a go, but also it is real good. ]
...Aight, I'll... uh, y'know. Get goin'.
[ Seems like she's still busy doing some stuff, so he's not gonna bother her further than he already did. Sheesh, come to think of it, he distracted her from making chocolates rather than helping, didn't he? He'll lift the plate of chocolate up for her to see. ]
Uh. Thanks for this, by the way.
[ Did he say it already? Ah well, it deserves more thanks, it's real good. ]
