[ Maybe they should sit down if Mikoto is really feeling like his legs will give out, but Kotori doesn't know this or she would have definitely asked him to sit down so that he would be more comfortable!
While she knew what he was trying to say, she found it cute that he could barely even say it and that it came out as a whisper. She might have giggled even more, perhaps because she was happy, but also because he was cute. ]
Of course you can! It would make me really happy if you did, Mikoto-kun... I'm really excited! Does that mean we can hold hands and stuff now?
[ His response to that was bracing himself for a before shoving his hand out toward her with an awkward grunt and a nod of his head. He was steaming, gears in his head a screaming mess of heat.
Nevermind that it looked more like he was trying to shake her hand, surely she wouldn't mind. ]
[ She didn't mind at all, in fact, she was still blushing herself somewhat since this was different than just holding hands with all of her friends casually. Kotori giggled a little nervously and took his hand with her own, lacing their fingers together. Hopefully, he wouldn't be as stiff as he was once she took his hand like that. ]
[ The attempt seemed to work because Kotori did giggle since she totally understood what he was saying. Her heart rate was speeding up too, so maybe it was hard to breathe in theory. ]
Me too! I am sure we will get used to it...My heart is beating really fast right now though!
[ Kotori felt elated that Mikoto was also feeling the same right now, and the laugh definitely lightened the mood since they both seemed to be very nervous right now. ]
Hm? What do you mean? Done what?
[ She probably could say the same, but she didn't know what he was referring to. ]
[ Kotori thought for a moment if she had ever went on a "date" even if she already knew the answer to that. She had always been closer to girls, so unless just going out with Honoka and Umi counted as dates, then neither had she. ]
Me too! I've never had a real date or...a real boyfriend either! [ As opposed to a fake one? ]
[ Kotori listened to his...interesting story and couldn't help but giggle a little since that poor girl that was actually trying to ask him out must have been someone he didn't like for him to tell her no! ]
I take it your fake girlfriend was a friend of yours? That's silly...You must be really popular to get confessed to like that on the train!
[ While it might have been a weird conversation, Kotori didn't mind too much, especially when it seemed that while Mikoto was popular with girls back home, he had a specific type he was looking for.
Maybe that type was someone like her, which made her happy to think about even if she wouldn't say something like that out loud. ]
I get what you're saying, sort of! When I worked in a maid cafe, silly people would confess to me and other maids a lot, but obviously it was just our job to make them happy so...It's not like they weren't sweet, but--ah... [ She didn't know how to end that sentence. ]
O-Oh...I guess I didn't tell you. Sorry! I did, but just so that I could make extra money to help out Muse with buying nicer fabric! My mom didn't know...but I quit so that I could become a full time idol!
[ She was really popular in the cafe under her alias to the point where people sold merchandise of her, or well, tried to. She always bought them all so that no one would find out. ]

A girl on a train wanted to ask me out and hold my bag, but I told her I had a girlfriend but then my fake girlfriend threw my bag on the tracks so...
