Pretty much flirtatious foreign Robert and oblivious Ayumi
Sorry about the bad coding and crap.
Sorry that i'm not sorry.
Ayumi smiled at Robert. “Haha, it’s fine, it’s fine, I figured that was the case.” After, her voice went a bit more serious but still teasing. “However, be careful since Japanese are
not a big fan of physical contact… Well, not all. Just a lot. Haha, take Sai for example. Don’t touch her without permission. I saw someone do it once and she seemed like she tried to suppress it but she looked pissed.” Ayumi spoke before throwing him a bright smile. “I’m an exception I guess~” with that, she flipped back around and introduced him to the others. Ayumi frowned when Sai declared that she had to leave. “Awww… Bye!” She said, waving her off as she ran.
After this? Shiiiiiiiiit. Tomorrow those people expect me to- She cut off thoughts about her work. “Hmmm~ I was honestly going to just go home and drink but whatever, i’m up for anything!” She said with a laugh. Oops. Ayumi thought about Robert being a foreigner. Do they not drink much since it’s well, against the law for underages to drink in foreign countries? <---
“Well, I mean, we drink. However, underage drinking is still illegal. But I do, indeed, partake. So that’s not a problem at all…” Robert said. He looked at Ayumi and thought about the hug he gave her earlier. “I mean, I didn’t mean to overstep my boundaries with the hug. But it is just my normal behavior.” He said, taking a bite of his candy bar. There was two other people around him and Ayumi now. A male, named Alexander he thinks and a girl named Hinata. In any case, Robert doesn’t mind meeting new people, he needs more friends after all. Ayumi is nice and all, but...there is just something about her. He doesn’t know if it is intriguing him, or just off-putting in general.
“Oh, that’s just because Sai. I didn’t mind it.” She said with a smile. Well, more than not mind, the older folks in the neighborhood usually gave Ayumi a hug when they saw her.
Turning back to Ayumi, who spoke to him before the other two can respond. “Sai? Who is Sai? He doesn’t sound too friendly at all. I mean, who would decline a hug?”
“Sai? She’s my friend who.. Err.. yeah, she just took off” Ayumi knew Sai for a while and no matter how good she tried hiding it, she knew that was a fake smile and a fake phone call that she had just received. “You’ll see her at school. Sweet girl.” She said, before she heard one of the assassin’s creed theme songs and quickly took out her phone. She put up a finger apologetically and answered the phone. Shit.
“I suppose. She just doesn’t sound all that nice to me, I mean, to turn down a hug? That is not nice at all.” He said. When Ayumi received her phone call, he smiled and gave her a small nod, letting her know that he is fine with her going and picking up the call. (Kay, i’m done with that.)
“Helloo~” Ayumi said into the phone with a smile as she turned around
“What the fuck are you so happy about? I still haven’t gotten your next 10 chapters.” Ayumi frowned. Fucking dick with a stick up his ass. “Yeah, how are you? I love you too.” She said, pissing him off even more.
“Are you almost done?” Ayumi nodded. “Yeah.” the person on the other side sighed before continuing.
“How many more chapters?” She looked up and thought about it. “One or two!” She said cheerfully. This would make him smile for sure.
“Good. Yume, i’ll call you again tomorrow night to see where you are then, okay? I’m giving you tonight to have fun.” Ayumi smiled and nodded again. “Yep! You got it. Love you~ Bye.” she said, turning the phone off and turning back to the group. Ayumi was pretty glad that she got the night off. “Sorry about that.” She said, sincerely apologizing.
“Hm. What was that about?” He asked. You sounded happy...but a bit too happy if you will. That alone betrays the fact that it was actually a happy conversation. So, if you don’t mind, can you share with me what is going on actually?
Crap. This is what I get for talking too loud. Ayumi smiled, shaking her head. “Nothing, nothing, I can’t impose on you like that.” Ayumi replied kindly. She never told people her problems and wasn’t going to start on the night of the festival. “I think the fireworks are starting in around… 5 to 9 minutes!” She said, a bright smile on her face. She couldn’t wait to see them. They were always so beautiful. (done)<-- This thing. And also, go down. I put up the firework thing so react to that crap.
He turned to Alexander and Hinata, looking at Alexander first. “Well, hello, my name is Robert. You’re...Alexander, right? Nice to meet you.” He said. Turning to Hinata, he said in a softer tone “Hello to you as well, my name is Robert, Nice to meet you as well miss.”
She then turned to Hinata who was of course, taller than her. Dang. These foreigners. I forgot how short I was. She smiled when she heard her ask about if she had been living here for a while. “Yep! I’ve been living around here for a while now. If you ever want to know who someone is, ask me and I might be able to help you.” Ayumi then put a hand up, waving it as if to say no. “Ahaha, i’m not bragging or anything. But anyways, we might end up in the same class if i’m lucky!” She says, a smile on her face. “Where are you from by the way?”
Hina took a deep breath “ I’m from Kuwait, its um… In the middle eastish” she said slightly, unsure of herself. Not many people knew where the country was, it was easier to just say the middle east since most of the time people never cared enough to figure out it was on the persian Gulf. “I was trying to figure out how to get to the school, I didn’t have much time to try and find out how to get there from here...I live near here and I didn’t want to get lost….” she said softly “Sorry if it’s a bother…” she added.
“Kuwait?” Ayumi said. She had read about Kuwait before. For reasons that she probably wouldn’t feel like getting into. Just normal reasons though. Ayumi occasionally has the urge to research about stuff that she doesn’t know. “It’s situated northeast of Saudi Arabia, isn’t it?” She asked with a smile. Ayumi then heard about her not knowing how to get to the school. “Haha, where are ya living right now? Near here?”
Hina nodded “ yes it is…” she was very surprised, no one she had spoken to about Kuwait even knew it was a country. “Oh… Yeah I live just a block away from here with my family… We just moved in….A week ago....” she said softly. It was a lie, Hina and her family had been here for about six months in the area. She had lived near Tokyo in one of the many suburbs, She had only moved here after her parents felt it would be a good for her., The whole time she had never really gone out, the only times she had were when her mother dragged her out.
A voice can be heard in the distance. A woman’s voice but no one can see who it is.
“The fire works are about to begin!!”
Clapping can be heard throughout the entire place. It’s as if everyone in the neighborhood is gathered here.
“5!”
“4!”
Ayumi smiled as she automatically started to count down with the group.
“3!”
She sees a flare goes up.
“2!”
“1!”
Ayumi’s eyes went wide as she looked up and saw the fireworks. Ayumi kicked off her shoes and looked at the building that was nearby. A small one and climbing it was
possible. Ayumi leaped off the ground, grabbing a pole up above her and swinging once or twice before practically spinning in the air and landing on another as she began balancing herself. She then went on top of the shop building and threw a large smile at the others below before looking back.
As the fireworks went off, Robert looked up with a smile. The bright lights lit up the night sky and made it all the more beautiful. The next thing he noticed was Ayumi. She seemed intent on climbing onto a building. What nonsense. If anyone is going to climb, it would be him. However, standing at just under six feet, he was rather tall and had no problems seeing the fireworks. “Um. Ayumi. Are you sure you want to climb up there? I mean, you can sit on my shoulders...I think it’d be a little be more comfortable…” However, his offer seems have gone unheard as Ayumi kept on climbing. Robert let out a small sigh as he looked at the building Ayumi was scaling. “Hm….” He said to himself. The building did not seem too hard to climb, so Robert went up after her as well.
On his way up, he heard a man seemingly scolding him and Ayumi for climbing the building. Typically, Robert would have stopped in his tracks to see what the man wanted and if he was trespassing. However, stopping as he is scaling a building did not seem like a good idea so he continued. As he reached Ayumi, he noticed that she and the old man seems to be acquaintances. (Sp?) Just insert wherever he would have said crap. Throughout the bottom part.
Soon, the store owner came out, looking up at Ayumi.
“Goddamit. You brat.” He said teasingly but he had a naturally grumpy voice to go along with it which made it sound pissed. Ayumi laughed at this. “Hi Mr. Wether's. How's your wife doing with the newborn? She showed me photos the other day. Congratulations!” She said with a bright smile. [b]“Haha, we’re doing great. Well, i'm going to go meet up with them. Don’t care about you jumping around on buildings since you can’t make a hole in the ceiling.”[b] He said with a laugh as he started walking off. “See you!!” She said as they waved. Once he left, Ayumi then stood up straight, pushing her hair out of her way as she looked up at the fireworks. She couldn’t wait for school to start the next day.
As Ayumi and the old man spoke to each other shortly, Robert stood quietly next to her. Looking up at the sky, the fireworks kept going off, the booming sound resonating through the neighborhood. The wind was blowing, and Ayumi was fixing her hair. Somehow, naturally, Robert reached out his arm and wrapped it around Ayumi’s waist, all the while being silent...
Ayumi’s eyes went down as she looked at her waist. “Foreigners do that too? Haha, they sure are different.” She said, looking up at him. She smiled and turned back to the fireworks, not knowing if she was supposed to just accept it or if she was supposed to just be okay with it. “How many different countries have you been to before?” She asked him, turning her head a bit.
“Um. I mean, we do. However, it is….it’s really only for people we like...and such.” He said, sounding somewhat hesitant. Looking at the fireworks, Robert was more or less silent. When Ayumi asked another question, Robert turned slightly to look at her “Ah. I’ve kind of lost count. The most recent was...Italy. Before that was Greece, there was also China, The U.S. and Spain as well...so you can say a few. Yourself? Ever been out of the country?” He asked, keeping his arm around her waist.
Like? “Huh? Well, you don’t mean romantically though. That’s interesting.” She said at his response. He would have felt embarrassed but she liked people as well and often gave them hugs. Sai for example. So, she figured it was alright. “Italy?? That’s so awesome!” She said excitedly. She read up on it and it sounded like a wonderful place.
“Well, sometimes it can be romantic.” He said, nonchalantly. He heard the excitement in her voice when he mentioned Italy. “I mean, yeah. The things you’ve probably read are generally true when it comes to Italy. The food is different from your typical ‘Italian’ and the gelatos are absolutely delightful. I may have to go back one day, and I can definitely take a trip back there when there are some downtime from school. I think my family still has a house there. Hm...that just gave me an idea. Next time I go back to Italy for a little bit, want to come with me?” He asked.
Out of the country? Ayumi looked at her fingers for a bit when she heard the questions. Her parents never lived long enough to take her out of the country and she wouldn’t want to put that burden on Miye. She was feeling sad but quickly forced herself out of it. Looking up with a laugh she shook her head a little before speaking. “My mom
hates planes. Apparently she gets airsickness really fast. So nah, Japan all my life but I love it here so it’s fine.” She said with a laugh. That was a lie. But she was an expert at telling lies. She smiled and turned back to the fireworks.
“Ah well, my previous invitation to you also goes out to your family, should they want to join us.” He said. “Japan is nice, but I believe that one needs to travel and experience different things, or else they end up imagining about it all their lives, don’t you think?” He asked her. (We might have to end it soon, I need to go in like 5 minutes…)
Shit. This guy. Ayumi looked back down at her fingers and looked back up. “My family? Haha, they wouldn’t want to burden you like that when we just met.” Ayumi’s only family was Miye and he wouldn’t like how friendly this guy was. Ayumi saw the last firework go up and released herself from his arms. I hate to lie to people.
Ayumi spun around to face him, smiling. “It’s really fine. Besides, I would hate to leave this place. Maybe later I suppose.” She then looked back up at the starry sky and down. Ayumi started to walk towards the edge of the building. It looked like it was far too high to jump off of. Dangerous even. But Ayumi turned, her heel on the edge as she looked at him. “It was great meeting you Robert!” She frowned as she continued. “I’ve got to get home and do some last minute preparing for school tomorrow. However, we’ll probably see each other tomorrow at school!” She said, a large grin on her face. “Good night!” And with that, she took a step back, looking like one would before they fall to their deaths but of course, she landed perfectly and waved to him as she headed home.
Shit. First of all I need to keep a lid on my mouth. Second of all I need to get working. Ugh. I want a beer.
“To be honest, it would not be that much of a burden at all. I invited all of you so all of you are welcome to join me as my guests…” He said, sensing a small tone of over-enthusiasm in her voice, leading him to think that what she is saying isn’t really true at all. However, this is neither the time nor place to inquire more on that. As the last firework went off, he felt that Ayumi turned slightly to step away from him. “I mean, the offer is always on the table, if you ever decide to take it…” He said. As he looked at her, she was getting closer and closer to the edge of the building. Based on his climb up, he knew that this building is a bit tall to just simply jump off from. As Ayumi said her goodbyes, he knew what was going to happen next. He tried to close the gap between them and reach out a hand to pull her back. However, he was unsuccessful as Ayumi leaped from the building. “WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE YOU…” He exclaimed as she approached the ground. When she landed on her feet, he sighed and shook his head. Waving a goodbye, he decided that he would just ask her about it at school tomorrow. His climb down was tougher, and his walk home was quieter…
