kanaye, maeko

Who: Maeko, Kanaye
What: Apologising.
Where: Kanaye's house.
When: Evening, day after dungeon.
Why: She works there?

If nothing else, Maeko was stubborn. Given the circumstances she could probably have been forgiven for not showing up at school or work the day after all of that. But the one thing she really had to build on if she intended to fix anything at all was being a hard worker. If she wasn't working hard she didn't really have much at all.

She'd not been a great deal of use during her shift. Her excuse to Ishino-sensei and the school nurse for the state of her hands had involved claiming she'd had an alegic reacton to a soap and scratched them up in her sleep. Apparently the solution to that was the medical equivelant of mittens and now she could hardly move her hands at all. Still, she'd tried her best. She just had one more thing to do. Apologizing.

She pulled her coat on over her uniform, less because it was cold and more to avoid the other staff assuming she was still on duty, and knocked on Kanaye's door quietly.

"Senpai, are you in?"

Kanaye was nervous. Today would be the day! He had the bracelet, Maeko was fine, and he had saved her? Surely this had to mean something? But, still, Kanaye was hesitant, to say the least, and absolutely panicking, to be more accurate, at the thought of actually confessing to Maeko. Most of this was due to his ridiculous trust issues, but the more reasonable part of his brain was panicking because Maeko never showed any real affection to him at all. Even if Misaki wasn’t lying when she said that Maeko had a crush on him a year ago, Maeko could have grown out of it by them. And even Misaki lying was a crapshoot, as she could have just said that to make him feel better. Still, he had to know, and if he got to be with his beloved in the meantime, that’s an excellent bonus.

He was broken out of his funk by a knocking on the door. He was about to tell the servant to shut up and go away, when Maeko spoke. Kanaye's eyes flew open in alarm. He wasn't ready! He was about to send her away when he got a hold of himself. He would do this or die trying...

He walked over to the door and opened it, leaning against the door in what he was hoping was a carefree and happy manner but looked more like him trying to look carefree and happy. Kanaye smiled and started talking. "Oh, hello Maeko-chan! Come in, come in!" The rational part of his brain started panicking (HER? In HIS ROOM?) but he ignored it. He was going to do this...

	"Huh? Okay..." Maeko said, entering. "...I thought I should apologise." She said, nodding to herself. "I was going to write a letter but, um-" She held up her hands for a second, feeling that she had a perfectly valid reason not to write a letter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kanaye laughed nervously, scratching the back of his head. "Don't worry about it! I'm fine, I don't have any problems with anything your shadow did. It's not you, after all. Well, technically it might be but still, it's not really and..." He started rambling. He smacked himself in the face. This wasn't the time for this... "Anyone, no problem. Besides, I wanted to see you anyway..."

Kanaye was going to do this, dammit, and nothing could stop him! He took a deep breath, then looked at Maeko. You can do this, you can do this… “Well, Maeko-chan, I just wanted to say something. I…I heard from Misaki that you knew sign language before Japanese, so…I…uh, asked her for some tips…” he said, stuttering. Kanaye shook his head. “I…actually mean this, ok, so don’t laugh!” he said hysterically before facepalming. “Let me try that again…”

He slowly, but surely, repeated the signs that Misaki showed him. He put his ring and pinky fingers down, spreading out the other three. “Su…” he said slowly. Then he put his middle, ring, and thumbs together, while putting the other two up. “…ki…” Kanaye was really getting irritated now, so he put all semblance of caution to the wind. He signed aishiteru as fast as he possibly could, saying each syllable as he signed it. When he finished, he sighed and sat down on the bed. “I love you, alright? I...just...” was all he could vocalize near the end.

He took out the bracelet, which is obviously a fine piece of work, as much as it could be on a few days notice. It was still pretty nice. "I didn't make it myself, I'm sorry..."

	"Yeah." Maeko said, nodding. It had been (and was still) the most honest and least stupid thing that came to mind. She nodded. A yes or no question, far easier. "Of course! That would be great." And then as an afterthought. "Um, that's fine. Sorry for, you know, not thinking you were serious?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kanaye started grinning like a loon. "Great!" he shouted, hugging her. He quickly let go, trying to regain a sense of dignity. "Uh...where do you want to go? I wouldn't know, really..." He smiled sheepishly at her apology. "No problem. I can't blame you, I couldn't believe me either, really." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kanaye smiled and nodded quickly. Cherry blossoms petals were nice. "Of course! That's an excellent idea, Maeko-chan. When shall we go? Now, or do you want a rest from excitement for a bit?" he asked, happy. "I wouldn't blame you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
