Something to talk about?
Who: Nayuki, Misaki and OPEN
What: Delivery and Flowers
Where: Hanakotoba Flower Shop
When: After School
Why: Nayuki has to deliver something for the flower shop. It's a good excuse as any to visit Misaki, right?

Nayuki wasn't sure, but he was beginning to suspect that his employers were playing favourites. "Or maybe they're just testing the new guy?" For whatever reason it truly was, he felt somewhat cheated on today's workload. Needing only to deliver one ream of promotional flyers and Official Recept Pads, he felt rather cheated. He shook his head as he found himself nearing his destination, it wasn't his place to complain about it. He was getting paid for the job, regardless. Parking his bicycle behind the utility post in font of the flower shop, he locks it in place and unstraps his bag. He takes a few moments to take his crash helmet off and fix his hair while looking at his bike's side-mirror. "Rats... they're starting to curl again. I'll have to visit the barber shop in the weekend."

With everything set, he enters the flower shop. As usual, there was nobody manning the register. The soothing mix of fragrance welcomed him. "It'll never get old." Carefully placing the parcel on the countertop, he reaches for the electronic buzzer and gives it a gentle tap. The room suddenly comes alive with the sound of chirping birds. He chuckles as he realizes that the shop owner had changed the sound-byte for the doorbell yet again. In each of the times he's delivered a package to the shop, the buzzer never had the same sound. He began to wonder just how anyone would be able to tell if there was a customer here. While waiting for the recipient's arrival, Nayuki decided to take a good look at the new batch of flowers for sale.

"You were in the same place sempai?" Misaki starts to ask and blushed some when he said that there was a reason that he found his way to her. She blinked hard when he held her close and closed her eyes letting silent tears slip down her face as he recited.

"I cannot erase the ache in your heart, nor take your pain away.
But, let me stay and take your hand, and walk with you today.
I'll listen when you need to talk, even wipe away your tears.
Share your worries when they come, I'll help you face your fears.
I'm here today to stand by you, with each hill you have to clib.
Look up, Let go and take a stand. And live just one day at a time.
You're not alone, and I'm now here to help reach that extra mile.
And when your grief is easier, I'll see you with a smile."

She took some deep breaths and drew in from what he said, "I...I'll talk to her. At the festival. I'll try to talk to her and see why she felt the way she did. Maybe...maybe then I...I'll understand why."

Misaki smiled some and then looked up at Nayuki, "Thank you Sempai. You really are a good man."

Nayuki returns the sweet smile, gives her one last gentle squeeze and stands back within arms reach. "Atta girl!" He finally pays attention to poor little Trowler, who has been trying to get both of their attention for quite a while. He reaches down to the pug and carries it in his arms. Turning his attention back to Misaki, he asks, "So... Do you think you'll have enough time on the day of the festival to juggle your workload, your date with Ito-san and trying to patch things up with your precious one?" He let the question hang in the air for a while, giving time for the pink-haired girl to gather a response.

He then shrugs and grins sheepishly, "I wasn't really plan on going to Tanabata since I don't have anything good to wear for that special occasion." He idly scratches the back of Trowler's ears, which gets a few leg-thumping response from the dog. "I think I can come early, make my wish at the shrine, then help you out with Hanakotoba's promotions. Is that alright with you?" He hands the pug over to Misaki. "That might buy you time so you can find the moment to talk to your friend. It's not really much... but... I think it's one of the few ways I can cheer you on, Aoi-san."

Misaki reached out and patted Trowler on the head as she took in what he said. She seemed to be thinking about things and nodded her head slowly and then stroked him softly. Trowler whimpered happily at the full attention he was getting from the two people. Misaki took a moment to decide and nodded her head slowly.

"That would be great of you Sempai. In turn I'll make you a Yukata for the festival okay? It's my way of saying thank you. You've been to kind to me, and I really haven't done much to repay you for your kindness." Misaki commented and gently sighed some. "I think I should be able to do it. I've done worse during christmas and summer wedding season. So Yes I think I'll be able to deal with that. People tend to think I can't deal with a lot of things, but normally I can take in stuff and just stuff it deep down to keep it from bubbling up to bother me."

"It's just the fact that right now, I...normally that person that's important to me is there, and now she's not, but some how I'll make it right and she will be." Misaki smiled at him kindly. "After all I have people like you cheering me on."

"You shouldn't really just stuff things deep inside you like that, Aoi-san. I'm sorry if I'm out of line with this, but..." He remembers yet another batch of moments in his life that he's not very proud of. "I speak from experience. It never ends well. And I hope it won't have to be true in your situation." Nayuki could feel his ears burning for some reason. A smiling Misaki is better, after all. "Wow, really? You know how to make those!?" He takes a few moments to consider the offer and nods to her, "I'll only agree on the yukata, then, if you have the time and energy to spend it on."

He detaches the sheet of paper from the parcel, writes his mail address and mobile number, and hands it over to Misaki. "Here." He chuckles as Trowler decided to accept the paper instead. "You can reach me through those details. If you need me for anything... and I mean ANYTHING. Don't hesitate to reach me." He takes a deep breath and slowly zips his windbreaker up. "Will you be alright, for now? I can stay around and keep you and Trowler here company for a while."

	Misaki smiled brightly and took the paper laughing some, "Well only if you agree to stay for lunch. We were about to have it. And I'll get you the yukata by the day of the festival." She smiled kindly at him and his offer, "Thank you very much Sempai. You're very kind." Trowler made a bark and she giggled, "Trowler says thank you too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

But...

Nayuki mentally jaw-dropped at Misaki's proposition. He did offer to keep her company, but being invited over for a meal was a big thing for him. He stammers a bit as he checks his clothes. "T - that's... Lunch... I - I mean... A - are you sure? I'm not exactly dressed for the occasion." It was evident that he was in a panic. And if he could physically melt on the spot, he would've done so already. "You're brother's back there, isn't he? W - what about his fiancee? I - I wouldn't want to impose." He was cursing himself repeatedly as he had very little to offer the Aoi family in terms of being a house guest. "I wonder if..."

Nayuki holds his hands up to Misaki, "Hang on." and made a dash back to his bike. Unlocking the compartment, he brings out a tied bundle and runs back inside the flower shop. He holds the pack out to Misaki and smiles brightly, "I hope you guys don't mind Sweet Puffs." Good guests always bring something over for the hosts, and he had no intentions of breaking that rule.

Misaki giggled gently, "Yes I'm sure. I wouldn't offer if I wasn't sure. Hikaru-niisan will be fine with it and Ayumi-neechan isn't here right now. She's in Tokyo. So it's really no imposition."

The pink one blinked and then smiled when he came back with his gift. "Then we have sweets for after the meal. Come on, there's a small kitchen in the back where we can all eat. I made lunch already so we can all share okay?'

"If that's the case, then..." Nayuki bowed in a formal manner to Misaki. "I'll be in your care." He then takes position to her left side, slowly removing his windbreaker. "If you'd like, I could tell you more about some of my exploits back in Nagano." He reaches out to Trowler and gives the little pug a bit more attention. The dog appears to be somewhat orally fixated and proceeds to gnaw on his hand.
