You--

[Yona makes a choking noise, her cheeks flushing nearly as red as her hair as she follows Hiro straight into Tomorrowland. Did he really just say that? Really? God, why is she blushing?]

...now you're not playing fair, Hiro...

[zerotohiro]

[He just starts laughing like the asshole he truly is sometimes.]

I'm totally playing fair. It's true, isn't it? What's wrong with that?

[cutefaced]

If you say stuff like that so suddenly it's going to surprise me!

[...now she's sulking because he's laughing.]

[zerotohiro]

Is it so bad to surprise you like that? [They're still holding hands wtf does she expect.] I could give you a warning next time but that kinda seems pretty lame.

[cutefaced]

You should say it more often so I can get used to it.

[...she says, holding his hand tightly.]

[zerotohiro]

I can if you really want me to. But I can't promise it'll sound that good. [He swings their hands gently and pulls her along to Innovations. He's excited for nerd shit, but he's also excited that he's with Yona so there's that.] How long do you think it'd take you to get used to it?

1/2

[cutefaced]

It'll get easier with practice! [Like. Just saying, Hiro!! ...but she's equally excited to be spending time with him, so she laces their fingers together as he swings their hands and pulls her along.] And, I'm not sure. I heard that kind of thing a lot from people back home, but they were just saying it to get in my father's good graces, so...

[...oh, well, now she's embarrassed. She covers her face with her free hand.]

It's a little strange hearing it from someone who really means it.

[zerotohiro]

[It's fine. She's embarrassed which means he's also a little embarrassed and there's a nervous laugh.]

Well. Get used to it. I'm not looking to impress anybody so it's just how things are. [Real romantic, Hiro.] Besides, when have I ever said anything to you that I didn't mean?

[cutefaced]

I think when we first met you said some stuff that wasn't very nice, so I hope you didn't mean that!

[INTO INNOVATIONS THEY GO. Luckily for Hiro, Yona is instantly distracted by literally everything in here.]

Ooh! Hiro, Hiro, look at it all!

[zerotohiro]

No, I definitely meant it back then. [This is mumbled under his breath though and OFF THEY GO. They're both tugging each other along and he's leading her to the center.]

There's a lot of really cool stuff...where do you want to start? We can go down to the first floor and come back up here later if you want.

[cutefaced]

What's on the first floor?

[google is failing me, send help]

[zerotohiro]

The house of the future. [He looks pleased.] It's a good place to start to get you up to speed on what kind of tech is available in our world. It might help explain things better to you, too.

[cutefaced]

That sounds perfect!

[time to head for downstairs ... she doesn't let go of Hiro's hand, though, so now she's tugging him along]

[zerotohiro]

Pick a room. [They're still going down the stairs when he asks. The stairs are big.] Kitchen, living room, I think they have a model bedroom...all kinds of stuff.

[cutefaced]

[Honestly, big stairs kind of remind her of Hiryuu palace, so ... it's fine. She's marginally more at ease among all this technology than she was two seconds ago.]

The kitchen! ...but I bet they don't make treats as delicious as the ones your Aunt Cass makes here.

[zerotohiro]

You're not wrong. [He's taking the steps two at a time which is a stupid idea, but here we are.] They don't have actual food here, but they have all kinds of cool appliances and stuff. I want to see if I can get some ideas for helping Aunt Cass upgrade Lucky Cat.

[cutefaced]

[It's ok, if he falls Yona will (try to) catch him.]

Ooh, if she upgrades it is she going to be able to make more pastries? Or different kinds of them that she couldn't do before?

[zerotohiro]

Yup. [He sounds proud for the moment.] My aunt's really talented even if she doesn't know it. Having stuff like this would make her life a little easier.

[cutefaced]

How hard will it be to get stuff like this for her?

[Maybe they can do a fundraiser...]

[zerotohiro]

Depends. If I can get a closer look...I might be able to make some of it. We'll see. [They reach the bottom of the stairs and he takes her hand to pull her along.] This way. It gets really crowded down here sometimes.

[cutefaced]

Can I help?

[does she know shit about machinery? no. but there's no one better than Hiro to teach her.]

[zerotohiro]

[A blink.] You want me to teach you about robotics and technology?

[cutefaced]

...yes?

[is it really that weird for her to be asking...]

We don't have anything like it in Kouka, so I'm sure there's a lot I'll need to learn... but if you like it that much, I'm sure it's fascinating! And it would be a lot of fun to do things together, don't you think?

[zerotohiro]

...yeah, it would. [He grins because that idea's actually pretty nice.] It's a lot to learn and a lot to explain, and you might not get all of it right away just because of how things are in Kouka...but you're a fast learner. It'd be cool to see what you can do.
