Ahahaha....

[ She laughs a little bit before finally reaching the door to her room with slightly pink cheeks, glancing away. ]

Anyway. When we get inside, you're not allowed to check the closet, okay? Or the dresser.

[ Not that she's explicitly hiding anything. Although she's honestly expecting him to get strange thoughts if he does open it and. That's not what she wants right now, even if she's not entirely... opposed to it.

She'll open the door right up and her room is relatively simple, but colorful, spacious, and it's actually pretty girlish, surprisingly. There's a bed, a dresser, a small bookshelf and even an area with a desk for a computer and keyboard. The walls are colored in pastel shades of green. There's a door with a long mirror that allows her to see herself in full form which opens up to her closet and a low table with cute cushions near her bed, too.

Also on the other side of her room closest to the window is the comforter he got her.

There's also simple picture frames above her bed of her hometown and family, and there's actually some small photo frames of them on the desk, too. There's also a bedside table which a few drawers which contain makeup as well. On top of it is actually flowers -- the ones he got her last time, in fact. ]

Um, also... let me know if you want me to get out the kotatsu. This house is a little more western so I could just turn up the heater, but sometimes the others in the house prefer not using it, so I try not to touch the thermostat too much.

Geez, do you really think I'm the type that would peep into someone else's dresser? I have no interest in doing so. When you put it like that, it sounds like you're hiding something.

[ Although, if she is hiding something... he can't help but feel a little curious. Today's not the day to wonder, because his focus was to be here for his girlfriend since he's aware of all of the horrible memories she's received.

When he steps in, he's quite surprised by how girly it is. She's always struck him as being a tomboy but he has noticed that she's been wearing more cuter, girly outfits as of lately. He expected a simple room but in all honestly, he thought it was really cute to see a more feminine side of Mio.

He smiles at the comforter, feeling proud that she put it in her room. As stupid as that chair fiasco was, he's happy he was able to get her a chair that she deserved. He's even more happy when he sees the flowers sitting on top of the bedside table. It was a bit of a shock to see them still in good condition but he's pleased. Right now, he's giving himself a pat on the back because damn, he's good at picking out stuff... ]

Actually, I've never sat under a kotatsu before and I would like to try it out. Do you want me to help you pull it out?

"No interest", huh... that's kind of disappointing to hear from someone who isn't a virgin.

[ She's calling him out. You're fucking welcome. In fact, doing just that causes her to smirk just a little as she sneers at him. ]

You don't need to, I can get it out myself. Just move the small table over a little bit.

[ Because the kotatsu's in her closet. Which is why she's keeping him out. Nevertheless, she'll open the door to her closet and go on ahead to pull it out; it's pretty big but not overwhelmingly so that it's overwhelming. But this kind of shows how strong Mio is on her own, though. ]

Oof, there we go.

[A text comes to you in the late afternoon of February 3rd. The sender's name has been encrypted and errors out and there are no signs of who the message belongs to. Clicking on the profile of this Retrospec user brings up a picture of the Retrospec symbol.]

How would you like to help us help you out? Your observation period's up and I want you on this particular assignment. You'll be fine, you're probably not going to die, and we'll be able to monitor you from here. We need help. You've got the skills needed even if you don't know it yet. I know it and that's what counts. You'll be working with a group (wish I could give you the names, still putting the lists together), but your assignment partner is Mio Sonozaki. Should you choose to accept this assignment, you will need to meet at the subway and we'll go from there. You'll be rewarded for your success, of course, but this is only if we have an agreement. Do we have an agreement?

[No other messages will be sent from this account at this time.]

[ooc: Hello! You've been sorted into group 2. Your event log will go up at 9pm EST along with all of the other logs. We encourage you to read the main event log as well for more information about your recruiter and this note. In the meantime, head over to this thread on the latest mod post to meet your teammates. Thank you!]

[ Seeing that sneer causes him to send a fierce glare her way. How dare she call him out on his lack of virginity! His face immediately turns several shades of red. This is why he doesn't like talking about it... ]

Its rude to look inside someone's closet!!

[ Not that he has anything to hide but he wouldn't want someone peeking into his own personal space. ]

Yeah, sure thing.

[ Never the less, he complies (while grumbling because he's still a little mad about being called out on) and moves the little table away so she can place the kotatsu. Once he was done, he looks over and is impressed with her strength. He also understands why she didn't want his help since it was in the closet. That damn closet... ]

Not bad, you're pretty strong. [ He walks over to get a better look at the kotatsu. Just from staring at it, he was already beginning to feel warm. ] Looks nice and cozy. I'm quite excited to use this.

Mmhm.

[ Mio can't help but hum that to herself a little thoughtfully, grinning from ear to ear. She's pretty confident in her ability to get him to blush and it's honestly really cute when he does. ]

I had to do some training for the Ninja Warrior tournament, and this thing isn't too heavy, anyway. Feel free to get one of the cushions. I haven't turned it on-- oh, and did you want me to get you something to drink.

[ That response somehow causes his blush to spread across his face even more so. Mio's skills at turning this fool into a stammering tomato is too powerful. ]

How was the Ninja Warrior Tournament like? [ At her suggestion, he walks over to grab two cushions, one for him and one for her and places them near the kotatsu. ]

Thanks for the offer but I'm fine. I had something right before coming here.

It wasn't too bad, although I ended up getting handcuffed with someone for part of the tournament.

[ It was a thing that happened, apparently. ] But... alright. Thanks.

[ Just. Gonna sit on that cushion seiza style and turn on the kotatsu as she gets under it, humming pleasantly to herself. ]

So... I should ask. [ She places her elbows on the table and leans into her hands, grinning wide at him. ] Do you like my outfit, Leon?

What kind of tournament is that? That sounds awful.

[ But in his mind, being stuck with anyone that weren't people he cared for would be terrible. Just when he was getting snuggled down underneath the warm table, he's immediately frozen in place by her question. His eyes glance over at her before quickly looking away. ]

Huh? Ah... y-yeah, I do. You... look nice. That color looks good on you.

[ When will he ever stop blushing? The answer is never as his face heats up even more. He didn't even need the kotatsu to be warm.

Possibly in an attempt to hide his reddened face, he pushes the gift bag towards her. Inside there's a basket that's filled with relaxing bath goods such as bath bombs, bath salts, a candle and sweet smelling body wash. There's also a lame card tucked inside the basket that has a voucher ticket for a day at the spa. ]

It's not much but since today marks that we've been together for a month, I wanted to get you something.

Edited 2018-02-04 00:59 (UTC)

Ahaha, it was pretty fun, though! Or are you jealous that another guy was attached to me?

[ She can't help but grin, tapping her fingers on her cheek idly before leaning in a little more. ]

But just nice? You do know I'm not wearing anything under this, right?

[ ... ah.

She takes the bag and looks through it, finding the card and just. Laughing a little bit. ]

You're spoiling me... you didn't have to go this far, you know. I owe you one, Leon. Thank you.

You were attached to another guy?!

[ WELL, NOW HE'S JEALOUS! But he doesn't dwell on that feeling for too long because he's completely honed in on the next thing she said.

That being... she wasn't wearing anything.

He sits there, completely and totally still as he stares at her with wide eyes. ]

I... see. A-Are you... not cold like that?

[ She's under a fucking kotatsu, Leon. All common sense and logic has completely left his mind. He's so embarrassed to admit it but he's totally imagining her with nothing on and he feels like a terrible person. ]

It's no problem, I enjoy spoiling you. There's also a second ticket in the card in case you wanted to take your sister or a friend with you to the spa. Or if you wanted to go by yourself a second time.

I was.

[ But she laughs a little, amused by that expression. ]

But I'm not cold. Besides, even if the kotatsu wasn't on, I have you.

[ RIP..... ]

W-Wait... what?

[ LEON.EXE HAS CRASHED AND NEEDS TO REBOOT ]

I said "I have you", Leon. I mean... it should be fine if I sat in front of you and snuggled up, would it?

...

[ He's so embarrassed and wants to die right now. However, they did talk about wanting to get more intimate so this is completely innocent compared to that. Normally, he's fine with that but considering that she didn't have anything else underneath that outfit... he was ready to die.

But he needed to man up and be a good boyfriend for Mio instead of constantly getting nervous at every little thing. ]

It would be fine. In fact, I would like it. It feels really nice when you snuggle against me.

Really? Then don't mind if I do!

[ She can't help but be surprised, but then... okay. If he says he likes it, then. She'll go ahead and go for it, moving to do just that. ]

Huh?!

[ He's bright red by her sudden bold movements but he's definitely not unhappy. A small sigh escapes from his mouth as he wraps his arms around her to bring her closer. ]

You're a real piece of work.

You're the one that hast to deal with me, so you only have yourself to blame.

[ But she leans into his touch when he wraps his arms around her. ]

You like it though, don't you?

Unfortunately, it's true. I can't believe I had the audacity to fall for your charms.

[ Though he says that, there's a smile on his lips as he rests his head against her's. Even if her parents walk in and wonder why the heck he's embracing he's embracing their daughter in her night clothing... sharing a tender moment like this is worth it. ]

I do. I wouldn't have it any other way.

[ Thankfully, her parents don't do that shit, so they're good, at least. ]

Haha, really? Even if I'd let you touch me?

[ Bless Mio's parents. Maybe one day he'll learn and stop stressing out about it. ]

Wait... l-like right now?!

We're in my room, and nobody's home. Nobody ever goes in my room, so I don't mind this much.

[ There's a slight, hesitant pause. ] But only... if you want to.

He is a good kid, and we really appreciate that he was willing to come out and help even at this early hour, although I'm sorry that it took him away from home and I take full responsibility for that.

Here's my address--

[He types out an address in one of the nicer suburbs of the city.]

Altho he's safe for now and I can make him breakfast if you'd rather wait for a more reasonable hour of the morning to come pick him up. He's no trouble at all :)

And thank you for the offer, but I think we have it handled for now!

[ When she says that so earnestly, he's not even sure how to respond to that. God dammit. What frustrated him the most was that... he wanted this as well. ]

...I don't mind. It just feels really sudden.

[ How is his heart suppossed to handle this??? ]

Where... did you want me to touch you?

It's fine. Emergencies happen and did it of his own volition. To which I'm proud.

Thanks. I'll come by in an hour, then. Knowing him, he probably wants to stay and check up on your family. I appreciate you're willing to make him breakfast.

[ BECAUSE LEON CAN'T COOK FOR SHIT ]

No problem. If you ever need anything in the future, don't hesitate to ask me. I appreciate that Xiaolang's so close with your family. If I may inquire for future reference, what's the name of your child whose friends with Xiaolang?
