WHO: Kanaye, Kozue
WHAT: Shopping~
WHERE: A mall. Junes, maybe?
WHEN: Before Kozue leaves.
WHY: Because Kanaye has a lot of money.

Kanaye tapped his feet. He was sitting on a wall on the outside of the mall, waiting for Kozue to come along. His wallet was full of money. It was Kanaye's dad's money, granted, but he had asked for it. And, technically, "It's for a girl I'm seeing!" is in fact the truth. Kozue is a girl, and he was seeing her. Just because "seeing her" also means "dating her" doesn't mean he doesn't see her. Normally, he'd pay out of his own pocket. He had gotten a part time job at a pound. He was just a desk clerk...thing, but a job was a job.

But he doubted Kozue would like the things he could buy her with his own money. And that's what parents are for, right? Giving you things that you use to make yourself more liked! It's an excellent job!

Besides, Kozue would probably need it. Kanaye still didn't think she wanted an omiai or whatever it was. It just sounded so...barbaric. Archaic. Pointless. Traditional. There was a difference between Kiriko and Kozue (for one, Kozue isn't a bitch,) but, to him, Kozue didn't seem like someone that would enjoy having her choices made for her. At the very least, she'd give her husband horns.

"I mean, it's summer! It's time to relax!" Kanaye laughed happily for a moment before processing what she said after that.

His laughter shifted from happy to nervous. "Well, uh..." More sheepish laughing. "It's, yaknow." He shrugged. "Well, I don't wanna seem like I'm just relying on my parents for everything, yaknow? So, um, I got a job so I could pay for the essentials. Yaknow, room and board and food...I work at an animal shelter."

Kanaye smiled at her, his nervousness gone. "Don't worry, though! I'm using my dad's money to pay for this. You can buy as much as you want!" His happy laughter was back again. "As much as you want, whatever you want!"

"So you got a job to…" She blinked, and thought it over, and still could not come to a satisfactory conclusion. "To pay for things that would've been paid for anyway? That's…"

Crazy? Unnecessary? A whole lot of work for no payoff?

Kozue wasn't sure how to respond, so she went with, "Well, at least you'll have lots of extra money. So you work with animals? Like puppies?" She perked up at this thought, if for no reason other than having a keen interest in small, cute, and furry things.

More nervous laughter.

Happy that the subject was changed, he nodded. "Yeah! I mean, I'm just the receptionist so I don't look after the dogs or anything but I do get to see them. It's great, and I plan on having a dog of my own someday so it's not like I should just go in unprepared, right?"

Kanaye skipped around a bit. "So, Kozue-chan, where'll we start?" He asked.

	She looked around the store, and, on a complete whim, simply pointed: "There! Accessories! Just… because, really!" Her smile grew, and she started walking. "I want a dog. What kind of dog do you want, senpai? A big one? A small one? What kind of dogs do they have at the shelter you work at?" Question, question, question, question. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kanaye smiled and started walking over to the accessories. "Of course, Kozue-san!" Kanaye pondered this question for a bit. "Well," he said, "I'm not sure. A big dog would be great to run around with, but a small dog would also be excellent. I've always wanted to pick a dog up and squeeze them and if it's too big..."

He shrugged. "Pretty much every dog imaginable, or at least I think so. Most of them don't have a home, so we do what we can."

	"That's really sweet," Kozue said; she was already browsing, but browsing lightly, just reaching out to touch this or that thing that caught her eye. Nothing kept her attention for particularly long. "So it pays well?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thanks, Kozue-san!" Kanaye laughed. "You could come over any time you like to look at the animals!" "Well, it pays enough. And I enjoy doing it. It's something, at least. I don't want to depend on my parents forever. Then they'd never let up about that job..." He sighed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She nodded, but after a moment, tipped her head slightly, and her attention drifted away from the latest purse that she'd lifted and rejected. "Job?" She asked, although she had a nagging feeling she knew the answer. Satou Motors was a family controlled company, wasn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah. Dad wants me to take over the company. He's mostly given up, but..." He sighed. "He's still trying, occasionally. One of the reasons I moved to the dorms is because I wanted to get away from that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh." She nodded. "So that's why you left home?" She tilted her head slightly—that made sense, she supposed, and she was impressed that Satou had followed through with leaving home. "'s pretty cool that it's working," she added. Certainly, the same wouldn't be true of her family, but Kozue liked to think that old age and a great deal of resentment and hate made a person very, very stubborn.

	"Yeah, but..." Kanaye sighed. "Sometimes I wonder if I should just go along with it, get an omiai, and let him control my life. It'd be much easier, right? You wouldn't get hurt too much, you wouldn't have to think..." "But no. It'd be running away, right? And I can't do that again." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Your parents want to set you up in an omiai, too?" She gave a sympathetic shrug. "It's definitely easier, and you'd get to run a car company." She picked up a Trolley handbag and turned it around a few times. "That doesn't sound bad to me. I mean, that's pretty much what my brother is doing. Although advertising and magazines are way less glamorous."

A laugh. She wasn't going to bring up what she got; an omiai and not much else. "And it's nice not to have to worry about grades or a job after school or ending up thirty and unmarried." She kept spinning the bag. "This one is nice, don't you think?"

"Not really, but they have threatened it once or twice." Kanaye sighed. "I don't want to run a freaking car company, though. I don't know what I want to do but it's not run a car company."

"I guess so, but I don't wanna be stuck in an office. It's not like I'll go from "unemployed" to "CEO" that fast."

"Yeah, but...You might be content with that but I'm not. You're one of the few exceptions, but in my experience, rich girls are usually bitches." He nodded happily. "Oh, yes, that's quite nice!"

"Gee, thanks," she said, mocking a pout, though she wasn't genuinely offended. "I just… well, you're getting out from under your parents and that sounds like it's what you want, so that's great."

"As far as an office goes, can't sympathize with you there." She laughed, and opened the bag to look at the lining, before shutting it with a grimace. "Ew, why would they do that in a plaid? That's just hideous."

Kanaye laughed. "Sorry, Kozue-chan, but my experience with women hasn't really been the best, so..."

His face instantly going serious, Kanaye sighed. "It is, but...Kozue-chan, if you're not sure you want an omiai and be forced to a man you might not love, I'm behind you. And so is...probably, everyone else. So...don't feel like you have to, ok?"

"I don't know. I mean, plaid is a horrible color scheme. It'd be much better if it was orange, or lime green!" Kanaye nodded wisely.
