[ Aikuro has been watching this spectacle for awhile now from the window-- even pressing his ear against the glass of it to see if he can hear anything they're talking about. It's obvious by Mikoto's gestures that he's acting over the top-- what could possibly be the deal?
He recognizes the girl as one of his students, a new person, so he's just going to intervene here. ]
Mikoshiba-kuuuuun!
[ oh boy here he comes out of the door and into the yard. ]
Did you get those cheesecakes just for me? How thoughtful! [ he's playin but you know he wants Mikoto to react. He then puts his attention on Kotori. ]
Hello! You'll have to remind me of your name, but I recognize you from class. [ ~*GLISTENING*~ ]
[ Kotori was not expecting someone else to come out of the door, so she couldn't help but jump suddenly when she saw her...teacher? walk outside. She blinked a little, honestly unsure what to say about the cheesecake situation since if she would have known that someone else wanted cheesecake here, she would have brought extra! (except she did go a little wild and brought Mikoto too much cheesecake anyway.) ]
U-Umm...I brought them over for Mikoshiba-san...but I can get you some too if you would like, sensei?
[ She was still learning teachers' names, so forgive her for not knowing your name, Aikuro. ]
I'm Kotori Minami! Do you live here too--ah! You must be Mikoshiba-san's "father!"
Hahaha! Don't be silly, Mikoshiba-kun! I have been baking cake a lot recently. I really can't get enough of it. [ then, at the question: ] Well, I might as well be his 'father' because of his irresponsibility, but we're actually 'spouses.' [ a beat. ] Both of us prefer it if you would ignore that point.
Are you becoming familiar with the new area, Kotori-kun? Oh, maybe Mikoshiba-kun can show you around if you really want. There are a lot of neat places you both could be together.
[ Kotori might have looked a little concerned when Mikoto said that her teacher was diabetic, but then he said he had been baking recently? She was a little confused and kept looking back and forth between the two as they talked and then smiled, understanding! ]
Oh! So...you bake sugar-free things? I could maybe bake some sugar-free things for you, sensei--eh? [ Spouses? Kotori didn't understand marriage here since she had heard it wasn't real marriage? But she might have looked a bit concerned. ]
You're not...really married? But you're both adults here? Umm...I'm not sure I understand!
But! I am becoming a little familiar with the area--ah! I bet Mikoshiba-san does know a lot of neat places in the area! Maybe if he wanted he could give me a small tour when he's not busy! [ He's right here???? ]
[ He wasn't really sure what was happening, but right now his feelings about Aikuro were half and half. He could have just gone with 'dad', but was he really doing him a solid here? An awkward hand to the back of his neck, looking unhappy as he spoke again. ]
T-technically we are, it's just the way it works around here. You get assigned a house and a person to marry when you turn 18...so...if you want a tour or something...
[ An awkward pause as he thinks about what to say next. Does he take her somewhere or does he...clarify something that no one asked about. ]
But we don't sleep in the same room! I have my own room!
We don't sleep in the same room cause Mikoshiba-kun hates me. It's all a very dysfunctional family. All I want is for everyone to be happy. [ what is this bullshit. ]
And what makes him happy is making new friends like you. [ A hand on Mikorin's shoulder. Was he nudging him closer to Kotori? ] Do you mind, Kotori-kun? He might be an awkward tour guide but he is a good person and will promise to show you a fun time.
[ Kotori still didn't really understand this whole marriage concept, but she knew she didn't want to get married the day she turned 18--especially since she was almost 17!!! The thought of moving out and away from people that she was getting to know would probably scare her, but luckily she didn't focus on that right now because of what else Mikoto said about the rooms. ]
Oh! So it's like...roommates and you just are the adults in the house even though Mikoshiba-san is just 18?! I understand--eh?! [ What was...teacher saying...? ]
Hates...you? [ She blinked, thinking that Mikoto seemed too nice to actually hate someone--but maybe they didn't get along? ]
Eh? A tour right now? Um...sure! I wouldn't mind! I'm not dressed too well to go out in the town but...um...if you're not busy!?? [ She was just in a dress she had been cooking in, when really she looked cute as always. ]
[ Deep breath, Mikoto, shooting a look toward Aikuro and muttering under his breath. ]
What the hell are you talking about, I don't hate you, knock it off!!
[ His attention to Kotori almost immediately, mostly to keep from stomping on Aikuro's foot. How could someone be helping and not helping at the same time? ]
...r-really? I mean, I'm not but...if you didn't plan for it, i-it's okay!
[ Yes. Excellent. See? She's willing to go with you even though she isn't ready! Perfect. Aikuro nudges Mikoto with his elbow, coaxing him a little closer to Kotori. ]
Show her Honey Bee's! Maybe some other younger people are there that you can meet.
[ Luckily Kotori doesn't hear the muttering and just is standing there smiling happily. She thought it did sound like a fun idea since she hadn't been to this cafe yet, though she wished she had dressed cuter, but that's okay! ]
I didn't plan on going out, but I did plan on hopefully eating some cheesecake with you, so the cafe place sounds fun to me, Mikoshiba-san--if you want! [ Only if something like that would make him happy--she didn't want him to be forced in showing her around if he didn't want to! ]
[ Aikuro smirked, nudging Mikoto again before finally folding his hands behind his back and turning. ]
You can stay as long if you want. [ He scratches at his chin as he heads back home. ]
If you ever need a place to stay for whatever reason, our house is open. ...Even overnight if you wanted. Mikoshiba-kun loves sleep overs. [ .... it's a good thing he's going back inside and leaving you two alone. ]
[ Kotori nodded happily, not really noticing the nudge, though she did notice Mikoto moved towards her, which she didn't really mind--she just didn't know why he did, but that's okay.
She was really glad to just stay in and eat cheesecake with Mikoto, and!! He even mentioned going to the cafe another time which sounded like a lot of fun! Kotori even looked excited when she spoke up. ]
Yes!! That sounds like a lot of fun, Mikoshiba-san! One day when you're free, I would be happy to--Eh?
[ Annnd that's when Aikuro spoke up, which made her confused again. She had just met this teacher outside of school and he was offering her a place to stay?? But...she had a house? Mikoto liked sleepovers?? Could guys and girls even sleepover together?!?? Maybe if she slept on the couch? ]
U-Um....Thank you...? I-- [ And he went back inside? Kotori looked at Mikoto while tilting her head to try to make sense of what just happened. It's a good thing she's naive, since she wasn't thinking anything bad about it--it was just strange! ]
Do you have a lot of sleepovers, Mikoshiba-san? I didn't know girls and guys could have sleepovers! [ rip Mikoto.... It was like Kotori was implying he had sleepovers with girls often?? ]
[ The colour drained from Mikoto's face momentarily, jaw hanging open as he stared after Aikuro; it returned rather quickly as he turned to face Kotori again. ]
S-s-sleepovers? Ha, he's kidding, he's kidding, I don't ever have sleepovers!!
[ She giggled as if it was supposed to be some funny joke, even though she didn't really get it, but at least Mikoto didn't have sleepovers with a bunch of girls since that didn't sound very appropriate to her!
Anyway, she didn't think that he wanted to continue that topic of the conversation, so she glanced away before looking back up at him with a smile. ]
Would you like to eat cheesecake out here? Or inside--I'm okay with either!!
[ He would slump just a little, but there's that laugh again that pulls at him. Hand to the back of his neck he nods idly, staring at the lawn furniture. ]
I've only seen him in class, but I'm sure living with him is a whole other experience!
[ She saw him slump a little and reached out to put a hang on his shoulder since she wasn't sure if he was upset or something?? But then he seemed to perk up so she put her hand back by her side and smiled once again. Kotori could never stop smiling around Mikoto, really. ]
Okay! Would you want to eat hmm...oh!!! We could have a picnic--ah..I didn't bring a blanket... [ There is lawn furniture, Kotori. ] We could sit in these chairs? I just thought a picnic with cheesecake sounded like a lot of fun! It's a really nice day outside!
It's definitely not for the faint of heart, he's got a lot of weird friends.
[ And habits, but it's not like Mikoto could talk about it like he wasn't one of those weak hearts. There was a gesture toward the lawn furniture, though, offering an awkward smile. ]
Yeah, it's a pretty nice day I think it'd be fine here...
That's okay! Everyone has a few strange friends, right?!
[ Kotori had no idea how weird Aikuro's friends were or how his habits were either. But anyway, she nodded in agreement about the lawn furniture--maybe they could go on a picnic some other time...and it was kind of warm outside so maybe sitting on the ground wasn't the best idea of hers anyway. ]
Mhm! I agree! I didn't bring any napkins or plates...but umm...I brought a separate container for my piece just in case you said that you wanted to eat cheesecake together! [ She even had little matching forks too. ]
Next time, I will come more prepared! [ She didn't know if he actually wanted to eat cheesecake with her or not, really. ]
[ Kotori didn't have any problem sitting down in the chairs, surprised that Mikoto was still standing there, so she looked up at him and was about to ask him to join her as she set up the table, but then he spoke up.
Which prompted a bit of concern to come from her since she thought that meant that he didn't want to have a picnic or eat cheesecake again?? Maybe she should've asked first before just assuming!! ]
Oh...um...sorry! I didn't mean to assume that you wanted to! I was just thinking next time I could come more prepared since I didn't today since I wasn't sure if you would want to eat cheesecake with me or not--only if you want! I don't want to impose! [ Why is she rambling... ]

[Kotori... ]
GET OUT NAKED 'DAD'
It was a miracle in itself that he hadn't scared Kotori off yet, but he may come close the way he's glaring daggers at Aikuro.
And through gritted teeth he responds. ]
He's diabetic, he can't have it!
GO TO YOUR ROOM, 'CHEESECAKE'
Well, I might as well be his 'father' because of his irresponsibility, but we're actually 'spouses.' [ a beat. ]

You're not...really married? But you're both adults here? Umm...I'm not sure I understand!
