[AQ] Festival (Shun/Yukiya/Ai)

[Deleted]

"But don't you have a lot of girlfriends already?" It's like what people taught him about the entire dating scenario has just floated past his brain. "And you have a lot of boyfriends too. Can't you just compliment all of them?" In case you haven't noticed, this is taking things literally to a whole new level. "YES! SHOPPING TRIP! We should go! Then you'll see just how good I am at picking the perfect styles to fit your tastes. Oh, you should start with research on what style you want to wear the most." He could go on forever, really.

"Yasuko ended up taking the journal with her while I bailed. I tried telling her that it was wrong to steal, but she...Wanted to know what was inside the journal. The key to the journal, the content, everything. She mentioned about the egg hunters being a part of the information listed. I didn't want anything to do with stealing again, but I did help her escape." He sighed. And Ai looked angry. He doesn't blame the guy, though. What he did was wrong. "There are cameras in Faberge, right? You don't have to worry about blowing a cover that's already blown." He at least reassured Yuki of that. "I couldn't...Leave people alone. I was in that office too, so I was just as responsible." Being locked in a room with Yasuko twice was something, alright.

But back to more positive things, right? "Recovering flirt? I don't buy it..." If Yuki stopped completely, maybe. But he just can't trust that. "I mean, why do you have to recover from telling people nice things?" No comprende. No understanding whatsoever. "I think she knows, but...I feel bad. When I first met her, she already tried to win me over to Faberge. If I hadn't done what I did, I might have joined already." But right. Food.

"Nevermind that. If I have to be punished, I'll do it when the time comes. But for now, let's get something to eat!"

[Yukiya]

"Ah, believe me. I've been hurt many a time when I just wanted to let a girl know that she was pretty," he said to Ai, deeply sighing. Although his sighs turn to muffled laughter and slight embarrassment after Shun explained flirting only in a way that Shun could. But at this point time, Yuki could only shrug it off. "Yeah, but sometimes the other boyfriends get jealous, so I had to cut it down. But yeah, let's see this fashion expertise in action! One of these days."

As he expected, Shun was dragged into it. But Yasuko was part of it? Yasuko was the who stole it? "Wait, you sure? This is the same girl who panicked when a librarian gave her a warning for being a little too loud..." he muttered. He hadn't known her for long, but she was such a stickler for rules. "Damn, I really wanted you to join Faberge too...is there anything I can do? I don't really get the chance to talk to Sasaki-san, but I can vouch for your innocence at least!" As he said that, he noticed that Ai had a dark expression on his face. "You believe him, don't you?"

He calmed down a bit, when he accidentally attracted some attention to them. "Let's...let's figure that out another time. Tomorrow even." He directed them toward the squid stand. "H-Hey, I didn't say I was gonna stop complimenting people. Just not as much."

[Ai]

"Oh, really?" Ai narrowed his eyes a little. "Maybe it depends on the girl. I know of a few who would react like that, but also a few that wouldn't." He shrugged, but yeah, he definitely knew more girls who would have a negative reaction, so Yuki definitely had a point. "My point is, there are plenty of different girls in the world, don't get discouraged because one or two... or three are being mean to you." Ai subconsciously started to think about how many mean girls he met... Ji-Yoo definitely, Yasuko maybe... Demi.. but Demi wasn't mean at all,perhaps just briefly, the first time they met. She was his best friend at the moment.

When Shun continued telling the story about what happened with the Sasaki-san robbery case, Ai seemed to be more conflicted with every word he heard. "Wait, YASUKO?" His voice definitely got louder at that point. "Yasuko, first year? Faberge? Calli's owner?" Okay, that was definitely a shock. Yasuko... was in his club. He told her to join. And she seemed like a nice, proper and studious girl, not the type who would steal from someone. Especially not Sasaki-san. He might need to have a word with her at some point because of this. "Does Sasaki-san know?" Because if she didn't, Ai was definitely going to tell her. Yasuko was a friend and a club member but still, what she'd done was wrong. At least Shun wasn't too terribly involved in it.

And what? The journal she stole mentioned the egg hunters? Well, he figured Sasaki-san would know about them since she did look after the students who had heart's eggs too. But the question was, how much did she actually know? Anyway, all this information, it was a bit too much for Ai to take in . "I, I mean, I believe Shun, of course." He nodded in response to Yuki. He knew the boy enough to realize he wouldn't be capable of doing a bad deed. :But still..."
