On his latest exploits

[chosen_kindness]

Mun,

I honestly don't know where you got that idea. She simply needed help and I had a few ivories left over that I didn't need for rent or necessities.

Well, yes, Kaede-san is nice and I enjoyed hanging out with her, but I--

Yes, we held hands. How else was I going to lead her through the crowded marketplace?

What? No! That doesn't mean I have a crush on her!

You are absolutely mad, I swear. There simply is no other explanation for how your mind works.

O-ho~~? ♥ What's this about hand-holding, Ken-kun~?

[chosen_kindness]

Mimi-san!

[His face? It is red.]

It was so I didn't lose her! I was helping her find food and it was crowded!

[purest_supergirl]

Mm-hmm~~~[Suuuuure it is, Ken-kun!]

[chosen_kindness]

And even if I did, her father would probably hurt me or something! He seems like the overprotective type.

[purest_supergirl]

Could be worse~could be older brothers~~~

[chosen_kindness]

[There's a moment of silence from him, because his big brother issues were something that he had been working through lately before he nods.]

True. If she had an older brother that was anything like Hikari-san's, I would be in trouble, wouldn't I?

[sandwormie]

Even I know, the more you protest, the more people'll think you're together or want to be or whatever.

[chosen_kindness]

It's just my mun who thinks so, though. Besides, I'm too young for anything like that.

[fuckinghateadrenaline]

You've got a girlfriend?

Aah, young love.

[Totally mocking tone.]

[sandwormie]

Some kids start early. Not me. My aunt says it's normal.

[chosen_kindness]

[OMG. WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE? HIS FACE IS SO RED NOW.]

No! I don't have a girlfriend!

[chosen_kindness]

I'm only eleven!

[fuckinghateadrenaline]

Might want to tell your mun that, then.

[sandwormie]

So? Some of my friends started at twelve. All "does she like me" and "we were not just kissing behind the garage" and "she's not my girlfriend, guys, stop it!"

[chosen_kindness]

I tried. She doesn't listen.

[chosen_kindness]

Even if I did like her like that, her father is there and she's a year younger then me. I've gotten the feeling from seeing him that he's somewhat overprotective.

[sandwormie]

Hmm. Yeah, that could be a problem.

[purest_supergirl]

[Mimi's grin stretches wider.] Or Yamato-kun, or Shin-onii-chan, or Mantarou-san...

[Ooh, you haven't met Miyako's brother yet, have you~?]

[chosen_kindness]

[So utterly confused.]

Mantarou-san...?
