You could say she's my TYPE.

( cute lookswise, hardworking and doesn't take his shit, makes faces when he teases having a crush on her or vice versa... )

But I don't have the luxury of being able to focus on relationships at the moMENT, so I wouldn't make any moves in earnest on HER.

( that... would be true even without the whole school thing going on. back at yumenosaki he's not as serious about them either for the same reason, so -- it can't, or it won't, change here. not without good reason at least, but what reason could be good enough?

well, feelings are hardly logical, but he's only spent two months roughly being any level of awake. figure that out later. )

Why do you ASK? Simply because I brought her UP?

Yes! What girl likes their boyfriend talking about other girls? How would you like it if I just went on and on about Sena when we're on our dates?

[ Like she wouldn't anyways. Like she isn't looking at Natsume with the utmost anticipation like yes please she wants to gossip about Izumi and is just wanting to see how Natsume would respond. ]

You said yourself we aren't dating YET. ♪ I'm free to talk about the Little Wolf as much as I'd LIKE.

( ha, )

I won't speak her name when we're playing boyfriend and girlfriend though, I proMISE.

( ...............he's ignoring how she's looking at him he's ignoring how she looks at him he's )

Are you in love with Sena-san? Poor THING.

[ HE TOOK THE BAIT

But— ]

"Poor thing"? Aw, don't call Sena that!

[ What do you mean!! Look at her, she's a catch: she's cute and... ... She's cute. ]

Oh, no, I was referring to YOU. Sena-san and I are--

( he pauses. they... are not friends....... uh. )

--peers, I supPOSE. We work at the same PLACE, and I share a room with one of his close FRIENDS. We're well-informed about one anoTHER.

( pspsps he has sena lore )

[ "peers" he says as if they're not all high schoolers? Maybe Natsume has a brother who Izumi is friends with, this is what it's sounding like, please, she wants the goss ]

Does he... [ what's something unforgivably scandalous ] snore? It's okay! I'll still love him!

( chiaki i'm sorry but natsume also refers to his fellow high schoolers as peers. it's a natsume-word. )

...He DOES. TerriBLY. ( LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO GET WRECKED SENA ) Could you still love him if he slept in feety pajamas as WELL? If he couldn't go to sleep without singing Popee the Clown's theme three times before laying down to REST?

[ Oh. Ohhhhh. She breathes into her hands. It's okay. Her love can withstand this. ]

It- it's okay. Clowns make people happy, and... Sena can make any song sound cute! Feety pajamas can be cute!

( Chiaki he will find what breaks you mark his words— )

He eats raw onions and garlic for breakFAST. He takes a shower every six HOURS, and he gets extremely cranky if he's unable TO. He thinks the world is FLAT. Are these things you can still love and ACCEPT, Kudo-chan?

Edited 2021-05-24 05:55 (UTC)

[ (roasted) garlic is tasty, there's nothing wrong with cleanliness, but she can't help but splutter at the idea of Izumi being a flatearther. He's dumb, but not this dumb!! ]

I- I-...! I'll educate him! I'll— oh my god.

( HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA )

So that's a step too FAR... It isn't too LATE, Kudo-chan, to find someone else to aDORE. You're young YET, and you're lucky enough to have me - a magician - at your SIDE.

[ noooo ): ]

If you're such a great magician, can't you do something about him?!

( see This is bullying, this is how you know he likes your other npcs )

I've TRIED. We work at the same agency - you're aware he's a model, corRECT? I have a place in the entertainment industry as WELL, partially thanks to my mommy - and I've tried countless times to change his MIND... It never CHANGES, nor does his reliance on horoscopes or lucky iTEMS. Oh, ( a sigh! a SIGH, kudochan, placing his hand on his heart, as if he's so, so sorry ) and to think you only see one side of him as WELL... You don't even know about his and his friends' penchant for kidnapPING...

[ Nnnnnnnngh... Izumi is pretty so she can forgive a lot, but hearing all of this? second hand from Natsume?? ]

-—that's not fair! How come he hasn't kidnapped me yet then, huh?!

[ Look at her! She's cute and portable! ]

His type is the complete and total opposite of YOU.

( he's..... he's not gonna out izumi in definite words, he's an asshole but he's not a monster. but even putting aside "you aren't a boy" she really IS the opposite of his type so )

His type... is like Hiro?

[ Quiet and boring, somebody who prefers to keep his head down. A little stabby? but not obvious about it and so he's forgiven. ]

( ...seriously reflecting on this -- )

Someone with a smart MOUTH, but almost no confidence in themSELVES, who he can act like a doting upperclassman to - like it's an honor for him to take care of THEM. ( . . . ) But don't go changing yourself for a MAN, Kudo-chan. We aren't worth IT.

So... Arata.

[ Guy's insane. He talks big but she knows better. ]

But you don't have to worry about me— I wouldn't even know where to begin changing myself. I mean, I'm perfect. I'm awesome!

[ what would she change? nothing. it's everybody else who had better step their game up ]

...You're actually very cute, aren't YOU.

( He's saying this like it just dawned on him. Wow. )

What is your favorite aniMAL, Kudo-chan?

[ Wow! Maybe if you all just OPENED YOUR EYES!!! you'd be able to see how cute she is from the start. ]

The anglerfish!!

[ She claps her hands together and beams ]

( the anglerfish........ he's suddenly reminded of kanata-niisan....... )

Well, I was going to build off of it for a nickname instead of just assigning you an animal without your inPUT, but that one's difficult to DO. ( chiaki kudo... he'll think about it. ) Why do you like IT? For the reCORD, I won't knock it -- one of my graduated seniors had a fondness for deep sea fish TOO.

What's not to love about them? They're cute and clever with lots of teeth. [ like she's describing a cat, not a fish, but look ] They're soooooo cool! What other animal do you know hunts by drawing people close? Luring their prey with something bright and enticing and then—

BAM!!

[ She jumps at him, clapping her hands in front of his nose in her best anglerfish imitation. ]

Gotcha!

( he doesn't flinch, but his nose does scrunch a little. so much energy, yet so small. )

You're definitely nothing like THAT, so it would've been ill-fitting anyWAY... ( but her reasons are good he'll give her that!! taking her hands and pulling them back down, now now... ) I agree with their... evolutionary cleverNESS, though there are some other species that lure PREY.

[ Wow, Natsume saying she's not cute or clever with lots of teeth. ]

Like what? I bet they're not as awesome.

( She's cute but he isn't a dentist or into his fingers getting bitten off so he's not gonna check her dentals, okay. )

The alligator snapping turTLE. It wiggles a pink extension on its tongue and consumes whatever prey that comes by and gets fooled into thinking it's a WORM. There's been at least one report of a marGAY, a type of small wild CAT, using vocal mimicry to try and lure the small monkeys it hunts into striking disTANCE. The assassin bug vibrates a spider's web in mimicry of trapped prey and then attacks the spider once it gets close eNOUGH.
