kozue, misaki

WHO: Misaki and Kozue.
WHAT: Totally girl bonding time. Or something.
WHERE: Nanakamado --> ?
WHEN: Week after the trip. After classes.
WHY: See what, kids.
WARN: None.

Kozue wasn't normally a student who focused that much in class; her mind drifted off and she stared out the window, or she passed notes, or she sent text messages composed one slow key-tap at a time on a totally silenced phone tucked in her desk. Today, she'd been thinking about Misaki. Of all the odd things, yes, Misaki. Of course, it wasn't easy to completely disregard her when the fluorescent-haired girl was in the same room with you all day.

Misaki had been visibly upset at the assembly on Monday - had she been agitated on the camping trip, too, or was Kozue just projecting bad feelings backwards? Certainly, when Kozue had seen her at the arcade, she'd also dropped hints... Or maybe just spoken of her feelings honestly, as that seemed more consistent with Aoi's usual behavior.

By the time class ended, Kozue had formulated a plan of sorts. Maybe Misaki was, in fact, down in the dumps; maybe not. Either way, Kozue could still very clearly remember that visit to Oubai's ryotei, when Misaki had offered -- practically fought, in fact -- to pay for her dessert course, and how she'd said she'd make it up to the other girl when it sort of fell through. But she hadn't ever gotten around to it. And kindness like that was the sort of thing that really deserved reciprocation, more than any fancy after-dinner treat. And why wasn't today a good day? At least, provided that Misaki wasn't headed for one of her many club meetings. If Kozue had known what days the clubs all met, she could have planned better - but why was she interested in finding that out? It hardly mattered. Either it'd be today, or they'd make plans for later.

When the teacher dismissed them, and the students started to rise and unsettle and chat, Kozue got up and made her way over to Misaki's desk: "Misaki-chan, are you busy today? I was thinking about going out for a snack, if you'd like to join me."

Misaki blinked and stared at Kozue a moment with a "Huh?" expression on her face. She thought a moment then laughed.

"Um... well it's more like, each flower has a different meaning and when you mix certain flowers together you can express a feeling that you might not be able to say to someone face to face. It's called the language of the flowers."

Misaki walked with her down the hallway, "And yes he delivers the arrangements and creates them. And I guess you can say there's a way to speak in flowers in art. It's kinda hard to explain."

The pink haired girl thought for a bit then grinned, "Like if I mixed red roses, Periwinkles and Ranunculus, it means that the person sending the flowers wants to say to you that they're attracted to your physical beauty, that they promise you a long and close relationship, and that they love you. That's what the meaning of flowers are."

"But whoever you're sending messages to, they have to speak that language too, or else it's pretty much wasted. The message - the flowers are still pretty." She contemplated this, swinging her school bag back and forth. "I'm only really familiar with meaning in position, you know? But that's pretty cool, like a secret romance code."

With spies. Why did spies always pop into her head when she thought about codes or secrets? It was a perfect and unbreakable trinity, apparently.

"So are you looking to get a part-time gig at his shop, or what?" Then again, knowing Misaki, she might just be doing it out of the goodness of her heart. In fact, she probably was...

"No, he's got other people working for him. I just work there for free. I'm kinda thinking of getting a job though. I just...don't know where yet." She smiled. "But I'm going to have to wait till after summer, that way my mom doesn't think I won't be screwing up my schoolwork."

Misaki looked up at Kozue, "Oh by the way are you going to be going to the festival over the summer?"

"Oh, that makes sense," she said, nodding, and thinking; when was the festival again? "I'm not sure - I haven't worked out vacation schedule with my parents yet, since my father is really busy with some business; he might have to go overseas during the summer, he's not sure." She shrugged. "So I might be going to see my parents in Tokyo, but I'm not sure when. I also might not."

"If I don't, I'll be around. The old family home isn't all that far from town," she added, with a frown. The old family home was a convenient way of talking about the place without pointing directly to her grandmother, of course.

"Well if you want you can stay by our house during the summer. My parents are going on a retreat for the professors and their spouses, and I'm sure that my sister's will be okay if I have a friend over." Misaki told her, "That way you don't have to worry about where you're going to be going."

She blushed some, "I mean if you want to, that is. You can say no too."

"Really?" Kozue smiled, suddenly. Misaki would offer that? It'd been - it'd been a while since she'd been asked to stay at a female friend's house over the summer, or over another break... they'd kind of stopped asking, she realized, although she couldn't recall quite when. It might have had something to do with the number of times she'd turned them down because of a boy - or canceled, or snuck out to see someone.

"If I need to - I'd love to, it would be fun. It's better than slogging out to the old house," she said. "I really appreciate your generosity in offering."

"No problem Kozue-chan, there are just a few rules," Misaki explained quickly as they went out of the school and miskai ticked off her fingers. "One is that my sister wants us to eat dinner at the house. It's just to make sure we're all at home at a time and know where we're going to be going out. Two, you're going to have to stay in my room, if that's okay. Three is that you have to be home by at the very latest one in the morning. Oh and not to go in my dad's study or my mom's office, and that's about it."

With a laugh, Kozue responded, "I'm sure I can obey all those, but you don't need to tell me now. After all, I live in the dorms, and the rules are about as strict, if not more so."

"So when are you going to make the dress? Should I block time off to help with the fitting and... well, whatever else I need to help with?" She asked; she was still enthusiastic, imagining how cute it would look on her. Maybe it'd be done in time for Kiriko's birthday party... maybe not, but she could hope. Because she did need an outfit for that.

"I've noticed, when I go to see Toru-kun they're very by the book," Misaki said with a smile. She thought for a moment, "Well I will need you to come over some of the time, or I could come over to the dorm. Either way, it should be fun. And um...I will need help customizing it for you. Like making it so that it's one of a kind."

Misaki glanced around as they walked, "Oh so tell me about this snack place."
