<Pose Tracker> Endo Naoki [Juuban Public School (10)] has posed.
Endo has more free time, now that he doesn't have to worry about school. He even passed his exams! Life is truly full of miracles. Either way, he hasn't been filling his time entirely with work. No, there's some that's devoted to his social life, friends, and other people he cares about. One of whom just happens to be Ren.
He's invited her to eat. Outside, apparently. They've found a spot to sit near to a cherry tree in the center of an otherwise drab looking apartment complex, most of its residents out and about for the day. It's kind of serene, in a way. He also made lunch, a bento box for himself and her. While he eats he speaks, filling her in on recent events.
"I met with Lera-san the other day. We had a talk about where she comes from, and she was telling me about her device and mine."
<Pose Tracker> Ren Aizawa [Infinity Institute (10)] has posed.
Having a boyfriend is new for Ren. Being all by herself for so long means it's something she's still adjusting to.
But Endo is more than worth it.
As they sit here now munching on food and talking of things she can't help but smile and blush. A picnic under the cherry tree is the height of young romantic love. Or at least that's what the few love novels and manga she's read say anyway. Either way, it's all /really/ nice.
"Oh? I'm glad she doesn't have to hide herself from us anymore. It must've been rough having to lie like that all the time..."
<Pose Tracker> Endo Naoki [Juuban Public School (10)] has posed.
"I guess," Endo acknowledges. "I kind of know how she feels, if she felt like she had to. I didn't really trust her at first, but I think I do now. I know she's a good person, at least." More chewing ensues. He seems to be fairly relaxed, pleased to have some time to share with the other Mage.
"She told me a little about where Fallen Stern probably comes from too, and that knight. It was interesting." He'd asked the weapon himself, but the answers he got there were about as bad as Lera's. "But she hasn't seen her, or Jaren again."
<Pose Tracker> Ren Aizawa [Infinity Institute (10)] has posed.
"I'm glad we're all on the same page now, then." And she truly is. How couldn't she be? They all had each others' backs -- through thick and thin. Especially considering...
Jaren. That name still makes the hairs on the back of her neck rise. She tries not to show her alarm too much when Endo mentions his name, instead choosing to focus on other things he's mentioned. "That knight... She seems really powerful. I hope she's not in league with... with /him/. And I'm glad you found out so more info about Stern! I feel like Souverain Heraut is probably hiding stuff from me, too."
<Pose Tracker> Endo Naoki [Juuban Public School (10)] has posed.
"It's kind of annoying." He means that more for the weapon, really. That jerk. It doesn't respond, though. So Endo chomps on some rice for a second before noting, "I also saw some other stuff that's weirder to explain. I guess. I'm starting to build up a tolerance."
He points. Up and behind, at the tree. "I saved that tree. It wasn't really the tree, but a light-thing inside it, and there were a lot of them, and something was trying to eat them. Yeah." He nods somberly. It must make more sense to him.
<Pose Tracker> Ren Aizawa [Infinity Institute (10)] has posed.
"Wow. Really?" Ren responds to his admission about the tree. She turns to look up at it. "Well, I'm glad you were able to save it. Trees are nice." Yes! They provide shade and atmosphere. Especially for lunch dates like this one. Yaaay.
"Do you think whatever that something was trying to eat those "lights" is going to come back?" It was sometimes exhausting how often evil things popped up to threaten good things...
<Pose Tracker> Endo Naoki [Juuban Public School (10)] has posed.
"Ah...maybe. I had a hard time paying attention to what was going on. I was trying not to die." Maybe Endo's attention span isn't that great. He beams though, both at Ren and at the tree. He's probably had the same thoughts she has, but he's not dwelling on that now.
He has other things to worry about!
"Anyway. I was thinking about it, I guess," His eyes slant. "I thought I should tell you, I'm glad to have you around. And that you're my girlfriend." Is she? He certainly hopes so. Either way, it's kind of the first time he's said it plainly.
<Pose Tracker> Ren Aizawa [Infinity Institute (10)] has posed.
"Oh. True." She knows how that is. Trying not to die while fighting scary things is common. Heh.
And... oh? What he says makes her light up completely. "Oh... Endo..." She blushes heavily. Yes, it /is/ the first time she's heard him say anything like this! It's really flattering! "I feel the same way!"
<Pose Tracker> Endo Naoki [Juuban Public School (10)] has posed.
Ren getting all blushy is a little bit embarrassing. He is, at least, relieved to hear her say the same. He wasn't too worried, but it's still nice to have that out there.
And this time it's his turn to kiss her. It's a short gesture, but not quite as sudden as hers was. There's plenty of time to dive for cover as he leans over. It seems like an appropriate thing to do.
<Pose Tracker> Ren Aizawa [Infinity Institute (10)] has posed.
Dive away? Why? Kissing is totally appropriate right now. She sees it coming, and leans in to meet him halfway.
- KISS, KISS*
It's nice. And sweet. And tender. And niiiice. Endo is a pretty good kisser!
<Pose Tracker> Endo Naoki [Juuban Public School (10)] has posed.
It doesn't last too long, but it's certainly a kiss. And then it's over.
Endo seems happy enough with the results. His eyes slant off to the side suspiciously, the boy grinning for a second before he resumes eating. He's not quite sure what to say, so it takes a moment before he speaks again. "Do you want to go into the city today? I have some time, before work."
<Pose Tracker> Ren Aizawa [Infinity Institute (10)] has posed.
Ren lets out a little sigh when the kiss ends. Perhaps she didn't want it to? Hee. She goes back to eating too, settling on a cucumber sandwich or two.
At Endo's question she turns towards him, a bit of bread hanging from her mouth. "Mmmph?" She then pauses and swallows, giggling. "I mean, sure! I don't have anywhere to be, really!"
<Pose Tracker> Endo Naoki [Juuban Public School (10)] has posed.
"Good!" Endo beams. He was looking forward to spending the day with the girl, so that should go well. The rest of his food is finished up in short order, the boy waiting to collect her box. "We'll go to the arcade." He's still not very good at those fighting games, but he knows she likes them. So off they'll go, for a pleasant day. A nice break from worrying about monsters and evil Mages.
