The Bet

[whybeanstho]

Yo, Yoimiya!

[The booming voice of Arataki Itto resonates throughout the small apartment they share in downtown Inazuma, a loft that came relatively cheap for its location in the city. The buzzing of cars and people passing by the third story window could be heard all throughout the place, walls thin as a sheet of paper. But with it all comes the excitement of the city, and for these two, a plethora of food to gorge themselves on whenever it came time to feed. Inazuma in this day and age has everything to choose from, and food filtered in from all over the world.

It was a perfect set up for them both.

But for now, Itto sits at their small kitchen bar, eating his dino-shaped chicken nuggets that he'd microwaved from out of the freezer. On the plate is some barbeque sauce to dip them in, and he of course is trying to talk to her with his mouth full.]

Ain't it about time we go out and do some grocery shopping? MAN my stomach has been rumbling for the past week or so.

[In goes another dino nuggie, eating them up like they're water.]

If I don't get some food in me soon, I'm gunna shrivel up and wither away! Hey, you think I could talk Shinobu into...I MEAN, ahem, do you think she'd do us a solid and find us a sweet spot to pick up from?

[ He's got that right. Yoimiya can recall the massive headache she and Itto went through trying to find an apartment suitable for their price range. Neither one of them have high-paying jobs sometimes Itto doesn't have a job >:l so they really had to do some digging just to find a comfy place to live and thankfully, this small complex suited their needs perfectly.

Anyhow, Yoimiya might not have scored the way she wanted but she still considers her encounter with Ajax as a win. She beams at him, happy to hear that despite the rocky start, he had a great time in the end. ]

Me too, I had a wonderful time with you. Can't recall the last time I clicked with a guy practically on the spot. Buuuut before you go, don't forget about our little deal.

[ Not that it was a deal to begin with but regardless, Yoimiya holds up her phone. ]

Phone number, please! Hehehehe.

[ She looks way too proud of herself as she giggles. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

[Smiling as Yoimiya's hand emerges with her phone, he also gets his own phone out, quickly opening his contacts so he can get dem digits.]

Haha, how could I have forgotten? Of course. Here.

[He recites his phone number for her, waiting until she texts him something so he can add her to his contacts. Would be hard to set up another date without that, after all.]

I think our beach idea sounds grand for a second date. I'll text you tomorrow about it, so we can set up when to go. Teach me how to surf and I'll teach you how to bag a big fish, one you can show off to all of your friends.

[Winking at her, he slips his phone back into his pocket. Now that things are really happening here, he's getting a little excited to see her again after tonight. It's a nice, refreshing feeling, one he's grateful for after his last few dates.]

[niwabi]

[ SCORE!!!! Yoimiya feels like she's on top of the world as he recites his digits. Phone in hand, she quickly jots down his number in her contacts with a big smile pulling at her cheeks. This is the face of a girl who looks like she's won the lottery. ]

Hehe, you got a deal! By the time I'm done with you, you'll be a surfing pro. And I trust you'll level up my fishing techniques.

[ Giggling, Yoimiya sends him the first-ever text message from her.

A kaomoji!

(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ ]

See you tomorrow, then? I can't wait to watch you jump into the water to catch a shark with your bare hands.

[ She still... isn't exactly sure if he was joking or being serious. Are Snezhnayan men like this? Either way, she can tell their date will be a whirlwind of exciting chaos. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

[Quickly adding her to his contacts, he smiles at the little kaomoji in his messages now. Cute in person and cute over texts. That's something he can get behind. He sends back a lame :) to her, because there's no way he knows how to do this kaomoji thing.]

It'll be a treat, I promise.

[He looks at her with a little smirk on his face, confident in his abilities to do some crazy stuff in the water. But in Snezhnaya, everything is crazy, so why not bring a little bit of chaos from home to Inazuma?

Ajax will end the night with a simple, brief kiss to her lips, bending down to press them together before standing back up again. He'll wait until she goes inside before he leaves, of course.]

See you tomorrow.

🎀

[ She thought he was joking at first but now, she isn't sure. Maybe he really is serious about catching a shark with nothing but his bare hands. After all, she's seen some of the massive beasts in Morepesok, maybe Snezhnayan men just do things differently with a side of crazy...

But regardless, Yoimiya is happy to end the night on a good note. She stands on her tiptoes to return the kiss, elation pours from him and into her with every pass of his sweet lips. A kiss from him is the perfect way to end the evening. ]

See you, Ajax. Have a good night.

[ With that, she sends him one last wink before turning on her heels to head into her apartment, happy and excited for their date tomorrow. Once inside, she finally glances at her phone to see a simple :) message from him. Not as fancy as her kaomoji and a bit silly but the simplicity makes him endearing.

Looks like he's got a lot to learn about kaomoji... ]
