[x] Get Kyoko to have supper with Sayaka; it will be fine!
"Of course we can go!" you say. "We don't have anything planned, right Kyoko?"
"Yes, I mean no, I mean- oh, well of course we don't have anything planned, right Yuma?"
"Big Sis, that's what Yuma said." You eye her with suspicion and she looks away, eyes darting between you and Sayaka. What's going on with her?
Homura sighs, rubbing her temples. "I will also be available for supper."
"And I'm good as well," says Madoka. "So then that's everyone?"
"Yep yep, looks that way!" says Kyoko. "This is in an hour right?"
"That's about right," says Sayaka.
"Well then, I'll take Yuma and go get changed and all that, see you later!"
"Wha-Kyoko, wait!"
Sayaka strides forward, grabbing Kyoko's wrist. Kyoko stops, smile frozen in place. "Kyoko, you don't even know where I live. Just wait a bit." Kyoko nods, eyes wide and cheeks pink, while Sayaka takes a slip of paper out of her bag and writes something on it. "These are my address and phone number. Call me on your new phone once you get the chance, and I'll call you back once the time is right."
Kyoko stares at the piece of paper in her hands. "Oh… I got your number... And, you're fine with me just running off?"
"Honestly, I think this works better. If I know my dad- and believe me, I know him- he'll be making some mixture of rice, gyoza, and soba. Now, he can't make soba for the life of him, so I'll have to help him out on that front, but I don't want to be a bad host and leave you guys to do whatever while I help him cook. But if we all just meet at my place in an hour…"
"You cook?" whispers Kyoko, staring at Sayaka with reverence in her eyes. She blinks, and shakes her head. "I mean- yeah, that makes sense! Well, I'll see you all in a bit, come on Yuma let's go!"
"Buh Bye!" you shout as Big Sis Kyoko drags you off. You pick up the pace once you're out of the arcade, getting in front of Kyoko and stopping.
"Big Sis Kyoko, you are nervous," you say. "You aren't usually nervous, and you weren't nervous before Sayaka invited us all for supper. Is there something you would like to share?"
Kyoko sighs, patting you on the shoulder. "Alright, alright, I'm nervous. So what? People get nervous all the time." She brushes past you, face still a bright pink. You sigh, and try once again to keep pace with her. Not an easy task, given your difference in size.
"Yes Big Sis, you are nervous. People
also get nervous. But what Yuma is interested in is
why you're nervous."
"Well, maybe I just got the jitters." You turn the corner, and see your apartment building less than a block away. Wow, it really is close.
"But Big Sis Kyoko is brave, and strong, and wouldn't be nervous without a good reason. Yuma just wants to know what that reason is."
Kyoko ups her pace, and you have to jog to keep up with her. Okay, why is Big Sis so jumpy? She shoves the doors to the building open, and you follow her inside before they can close. "Yuma, I'm not quite sure what you're implying here."
You chuckle to yourself as the two of you press into the elevator. "Big Sis, isn't it obvious? If you're getting nervous about having supper with Sayaka and her dad,
then…"
"Then I'm not comfortable with family dinners?"
You shake your head, and exit the elevator. "No, Big Sis, Yuma does not think that is the case. Now, why would you be nervous about having supper
at Sayaka's place with her family? Yuma can think of
one answer."
Kyoko jostles with the keycard for a bit, but the two of you are soon in the room. Kyoko slams the door, turning to look at you with frustration. "Alright, Yuma, you know want to know why I'm nervous?"
You nod your head frantically, and Kyoko sets down the bag of clothes you got while shopping. Oh, this is it! She's going to admit she likes Sayaka!
"Well too bad, I'm not telling you!"
She smirks, and you beat your hands against her chest harmlessly. "Big Sis, nooo! Just say it!"
"Say what?"
"SAY IT!"
"Alright, fine!" Kyoko takes a deep breath. "I have a crush on Sayaka and I don't want to fuck things up with her family!"
You smile, nearly vibrating in excitement.
Big Sis Kyoko has a crush on Sayaka
YOU
KNEW IT! SHE SAID YOU WERE JUST BEING WEIRD. BUT YOU
KNEW KYOKO HAD A CRUSH ON HER! HA!
"Big Sis! You admitted it!" You wrap your arms around her as tight as you can, jumping from foot to foot, unable to stay still with all this EXCITEMENT coursing through your veins.
Kyoko rolls her eyes, a rather obvious attempt at distracting you from how red her face is. "Yeah yeah, I have a crush on Sayaka. So what?"
"So what? So
what? Big Sis, this is huge! You have feelings for someone!"
"Yeah, and then I'll ignore those feelings until I die, just like everyone else."
You shake your head. No no no, that's
bad! "Big Sis, no, don't do that! You like Sayaka, right? So ask her out!"
Kyoko sighs, and sits down on the bed. "Yuma, I'm not going to ask her out. She probably doesn't like me, anyway."
"Kyoko, you aren't making sense. Sayaka's been nice to you- well, recently she has- and Yuma thinks she likes you."
"Not like
that, twerp. I just don't think she like-likes me, you know?"
You sit down on the bed next to Kyoko. "But if you never ask, how will you know?"
Kyoko shakes her head. "Yuma, it- it's complicated. Maybe I
will ask her out, eventually, but for the meantime I sure won't do anything. Sayaka, Homura, Madoka- hell, I can almost call them my
friends. I don't want to ruin that." She slaps her cheeks, bouncing off the bed and turning to face you with a smile on her face. "Of course, if Sayaka happens to notice how awesome I am and decides to ask me out, I sure as hell won't say no."
You frown. "So you're just going to sit around and hope Sayaka asks you out? Big Sis, Yuma doesn't think that's a good plan."
"Look, Yuma-" Kyoko droops, shoulder dropping forward. "I don't
know what I should do. I like Sayaka, yeah, but where would I go from there? I... I'll think about, okay? But for now, I'm not doing anything."
"Big Sis… okay. But promise you'll think about it?"
She nods, and leans down to wrap you in a hug. "I will. And Yuma, I'm sorry if I was snappy earlier."
"No, you were fine. Yuma's sorry if she was too pushy." You were a bit pushy, weren't you? You hope Kyoko doesn't...
"It's fine, Yuma." Kyoko lets go, pulling away and rummaging through the bag. "Well, since I
do still want to make a good impression, maybe I should make use of my expanded wardrobe…"
"Oh yes, yes!" you slap your hands together. "You look like a street urchin right now, and if you want Sayaka's dad to think you're, you know,
not that, then you should wear one of those outfits!"
"But which one…" Kyoko takes the both of them out, setting them out on the bed and looking over her options.
The first one is simple, and looks a bit like her regular outfit; a black hoodie over a black undershirt, with a checkered red miniskirt, black stockings, and black combat boots for her lower half. It's stylish, you admit, and makes Kyoko look incredibly cool, but it's still a bit rough-and-tumble.
The other outfit is more formal, at least by Kyoko's standards; It's a white dress shirt and black slacks, with black loafers for footwear. It looks
much more formal, and you can imagine it would make Kyoko look professional and dashing.
But is that really Kyoko's style?
"Honestly, I'm not sure," says Kyoko. "But I
am sure that we've got almost an hour to kill before we should get going. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Pokemon?"
"Pokemon!"
----------------------------
"Who's that Pokemon!" says the voice on the TV.
"It's Pikachu!" you shout!"
"Pikachu?
Pikachu? That's a
Jigglypuff!" says Kyoko.
"It's Blaziken!" answers the TV.
You stare at the TV, while Big Sis Kyoko lets out a cry of frustration. "Blaziken? Fucking Blaziken? How did we get
Pikachu and Jigglypuff?"
"Yuma feels your pain, Big Sis. Hey, what's the time?"
Kyoko pulls out her new phone. "It's- crap, we should start getting ready." She gets up, stopping in front of the bed. "God, and I
still don't know what to wear? Why am I getting so stressed about this?"
You follow her up, hugging her from behind. "Big Sis, it's okay to be stressed." you pause. "But, you really should wear
something. Yuma has not gone to many- well,
any- family dinners, but Yuma thinks that most people there will be wearing clothes."
"You know what?" Kyoko tries to spin around, a task made difficult by your hugging her, and fixes you with a cheery grin. "Since I'm being weird, how about
you pick it?"
You blink. "You want Yuma to choose?"
"Yep. I can't decide, so I'll just let my Little Sis decide! Isn't that a
great idea?"
"It is!" you shout bouncing up and down in excitement. "And, and, since you can't ask Sayaka out-"
"Okay buckaroo, slow down there. No asking Sayaka out for me or anything like it, okay?"
"O
kay," you say, letting your head hang low. But as it hangs, an evil grin spreads across your face, unseen by Big Sis Kyoko. Sure, Kyoko may have forbidden you from doing romantic things for her, but you can be subtle. Once you're done, Sayaka will be dating Kyoko without even realizing it! Wait, no, that's bad. She'll be dating Kyoko without realizing it was
you who hooked them up! Aha! Yuma Chitose strikes again!
Or, you could do
nothing, like Kyoko said, but that's won't get you anywhere! You step back, scratching your chin as you compare your options. On one hand, the first outfit makes Kyoko look very… well,
Kyoko. It's tough, punk, and just a bit adorable, perfectly Kyoko.
On the other hand, the second outfit makes Kyoko look, well,
serious. It's almost business-like, making Kyoko look sharp and, dare you say,
dashing. Also, it has pants.
