[His promise that he made to her back at the Founder's Day festival was ... accidental? But thinking back on it, would he have made such a bold promise if he didn't mean it? The more he spoke to her, the more he felt determined to make sure that she was taken care of.

Even if he continued to make himself look like a fool, or sound like a bumbling idiot. Despite just meeting her, he was going to do his best and keep up with that promise. A bright smile of his own forms on his lips when he hears the Japanese and begins to speak in Japanese as well.] Y-Yeah... you can count on me.

It is! If we don't want anyone listening on our conversation we can speak like this. It's uh, kind of exciting in it's own way.

[Just checking something???

Despite his uncertainty, when he finally learns his name and that there was a good reason, he felt like he had to be honest. Besides, it's not like this Karkat guy will blab to the whole world or something. He didn't seem like the type? Maybe.]

okay fine but it's really not that exciting

I can't really say that I have a crush on anyone but
I recently met someone that I've enjoyed talking to and I guess

[Shit. For some reason he feels so stupidly embarrassed to admit this. Then again, maybe it was because it was a random stranger that he felt a little better about saying this outloud to.]

well not guess. I know I'd like to get to know her more

[ INTERESTING............ he takes notes ]

This person that you're talking about.
You have zero ill intentions right?
The reason you want to get to know her more are all entirely pure??

[ annnd there is his reason. karkat's overprotective towards people he genuinely considers his friends and he needs to make sure that mikorin is acceptable to possibly date yuuko. ]

[Suddenly, Mikoto feels like he's on a episode of Cops and he feels like he's being interrogated. Was this Karkat guy secretly a police officer or something?

All jokes aside... did he happen to know the person that was on his mind? Surely not... right?]

Yeah of course!
I know words probably don't mean much, especially over texting
but if there's any way I can prove my intentions are nothing but pure, then I will

[ Honestly, she's waiting for him to take his promise back. He hasn't yet, but it was so random, so accidental... It makes so much more sense if he just stopped caring about her. But as long as he still does, she chuckles. ]

The way you speak like this is cute, too. Although the girls here can't understand a word, I'm certain you could charm them nevertheless.

[ Her Japanese is more polite. More refined. ]

If I ever actually meet you in a less suspicious manner then I guess that will be an easier way to tell.
Although I guess for now just keep doing whatever the fuck it is that you're doing??

You think so? Maybe it's the charm of being a foreigner that will attract them.

[He jokingly sends a wink her direction. But then he feels dumb immediately so he's instantly regretting it.]

I could say the same thing to you about charming people over. Your Japanese is really nice to listen to. It's like a refined tone when you speak.

[Did he just... get his approval... kinda???]

yeah this was definitely one of the most interesting ways i've been approached by a stranger.
but... thank you?? i can't help but feel like I got some kind of approval.

[He almost wants to meet this person that randomly sent him this message.]

I would say approval but I guess you could say this conversation was passable.
I will have the certificate that commemorates this achievement to your shop.

[ he is not being serious about that but mikoshiba doesn't know?? his sense of humor?? so ]

Minako ♥ i can never thank you enough for your words of encouragement!!

Your welcome! I'm really happy that you liked them and I'm flattered to hear that they are sitting by your windowsill. I'm sure your smile will be just like the sunshine for them. I'll see you saturday!!

[ She deadeyes

and laughs. And lifts his chin ever so slightly with a finger. Oh, boy. ]

Are you trying to be smooth now that you've embarrassed yourself?

I guess passable is better than nothing.
thanks??? I'll... cherish it????

[He doesn't know indeed and thinks that he's being serious about the certificate. Sorry for his slow, Karkat.]

[ karkat just decided right now that he is actually going to send the award because of mikorin's reaction wtf

it's still going to be a joke but he thinks it's funny ]

Of course you will. It's highly prestigious.
Anyway bye.

[OH BOY IS RIGHT.

When he feels her finger against his chin, he could feel a chill run up his spine, despite his heated face.]

H-Hey...

[Now he's making the mistake of looking straight into her eyes because now he can't look away. Something about them was mesmerizing. If someone were to walk into the shop, this would look so bad.]

W-Well [TRY TO RECOVER MIKORIN] I-I'm sure my embarrasing side has it's charm points too!!

It does.

[ Yuuko replies without hesitation and lets the words hang, waiting for them to sink in. She's sure he said that without any real conviction, but she isn't pulling any stops when her prey is dangling right in front of her.

Ah, did she say prey? No, it's a little more complicated that that. ]

I hope you don't show it to just anybody.

[ She eases up, putting some space between them. He's probably been asking for that ever since she stepped into the shop. ]

are you around the old neighborhood? i need a favour.

it's rin.

[duh.........]

[ whenever mikorin checks the mail of the flower shop he works at, he will see a manila envelope. when he opens it, he'll find. well.

karkat did say he would send one. ]

[ You know who's snooping around Mikoto's place? This guy.

It's a chilly evening. Yato's restless and bored, and he feels like being nosy. Those are really the only reasons he needs to trespass on Mikoto's property?? So he quietly pokes the top of his head into a lit window and peers into whatever room he happens to chance upon. Mikotooooo... ]

[Ouch. Well, at least he could sort of take that as a compliment? Maybe. The lack of hesistation her words was quite shocking.]

As dumb as this is going to sound... I don't, because well... [He nervously laughs.] It's embarrassing and pretty uncool. But...

[Oh thank goodness. He lets out a sigh of relief when she eases up, as much as he liked talking to her, he wasn't sure if his heart would be able to handle the finger to his chin.]

I'm uh... flattered that you think it has it's charm points. No one has ever said that to me before.

hey rin

yeah I can stop by the old neighborhood. what's up??

[In all honesty, Mikoto didn't know what to expect when he received a strange manila envelope on the mail. This definitely wasn't one of those things, though.

To be fair, Karkat did say he would send him a certificate but after a few days had passed, he thought it was a joke.

In a way he was flattered but he couldn't help but feel bothered that...

He still didn't get his name right.

Rude.]

i love you. try to get some rest, alright? goodnight!

[Mikoto happens to be in the kitchen the moment Yato is peering into the window. He's humming to himself and warming up a slice of pizza in his microwave. As he's letting it warm up, he heads over to the fridge to poor himself a cup of water and when he's heading back that's when he notices a set of very familiar eyes.

And he falls over from the shock. YATO WHAT THE HELL.

But it doesn't take him long to storm over to the window, opening it to greet his "guest".]

Why don't you knock on the door like normal people?!

[This message catches Mikoto by surprise and he's mulling this over for a few seconds.

There was only one person that would send him a message like this.]

mom? I didn't know you had this app.
but thanks I'll try to get lots of rest
