[jesus christ she's so cute it should be illegal. his cheeks already warm at the sound of her laugh and his expression turns inexplicably fond even as he gives her a little salute]
Heroes of justice are automatically drawn to where they're needed most! .... but ah, during times of peace, I can't be blamed for wanting to see you, can I? I'd always be with you if I could!
[a nerd. and also probably too honest. she was teasing but he'll answer too straightforwardly anyway.
he immediately holds a hand out because - ]
Do you want me to take your bag? You've been working hard all day! You're so wonderful, Takamaki, good job, good job!
[ chiaki...if this were p5 verse (is it) then he'd have to be a phantom thief, with the way he talks about justice. ann laughs, but blushes when he says he'd always be with her if he could.
don't say things like that, chiaki. it's bad for her heart.
he holds out his hand, and ann has to shake her head. ]
No, I'm fine. Seriously! You can take a day off from being a hero, can't you?
[ though... ]
Mmmmaybe we could grab a bite on the way back, if you're up for it?
[wow it must be warmer than he thought if ann's face is getting red.
he just barely dodges the incredibly shoujo move of asking her if she has a fever because he's distracted by her question. his hand drops and he blinks in surprise. she wants to get food with him? maybe it's not the first time and yet he still remains just as surprised as ever]
Mm? You want to spend time with me...?
[chiaki you fool
regardless his whole expression warms into something delighted as he nods eagerly, his hand clenching into a fist]
I'm certainly up for it!! Ah - you must've had an especially long photoshoot if you're hungry....! Understood, then let's go get some food! If you feel weary at all, let me know. You're always free to lean on me, Takamaki!
[ it's an honest question, but she says it a little shyer than usual. ann's a little bashful now, cheeks still a light pink, even as she turns towards the road ahead: a gesture that they should probably start walking.
he's so energetic and it's adorable--what really gets her, however, is when he says she can lean on him. ]
Huh? I...I can?
[ wait ann that's not what he meant HE DIDN'T MEAN PHYSICALLY ]
I-I mean, yeah! For sure! Um, you can lean on me too, okay?
[maybe he meant physically too, he'LL SUPPORT HER IN EVERY WAY THAT HE CAN.
he's just laughing at that - her confused face is cute too? - and nodding!! he crosses one arm over his chest dramatically like a knight pledging his loyalty to a princess]
Truly, these are the moments when your kind heart really shows, Takamaki.... Mm, I'll keep that in mind but - I'd be embarrassed to appear uncool in front of you.
[sheepishly, because it's true....]
But I appreciate your offer. It means a lot to me, coming from you.
