Fifth Punch

[conflictedrebel]

[A soft clunking noise is made as Kanji sets his gear down on the floor. Maoh curiously pokes his head up at the noise and makes his way over to the gear. After poking some buttons he switches it over from audio to video and beings to play with it.

Despite the Pichu close-ups you can see Kanji moping sitting in the background. Blinking, Maoh

[Chie peeks into the room, concern plain on her face. She'd found two new Pokémon in her PC earlier, but it wasn't until her gear showed her who their original trainer had been that she understood. She knows Naoto and Kanji had had... something going on, though his leaving and coming back might have changed that. But either way, he's probably taking it worse than she is.

She knocks on the doorjam tentatively.] Kanji-kun? How you doing?

[action] it's all coo'!!!

[conflictedrebel]

[Kanji's looking down at the floor and has his head in his hands. Despite him leaving and coming back, he's still got feelings for her and he's pretty down that he never got to (re)tell her.]

I'm just great.

[isthisourchance]

[Wince. She slowly walks over to take a seat next to him.]

... Hey, don't let it get you down too bad, okay? She might come back before long! You and me both did, right? And heck, I think Yosuke's been gone and back three or four times.

[Kanji nods and looks up.]

Y-Yeah... It just really blows 'cause I couldn't really... uhh.... w-well you know.

[action]

[isthisourchance]

[Chie nods, patting him on the shoulder. She hadn't talked to either of them about it, but even before Johto she'd thought there was something going on between them.]

Yeah, I know. But you'll get another chance! If not here, then when we finally get back to Inaba.

[conflictedrebel]

[Kanji nods once more.]

Ye--yeah... I just have to wait some more until I get the chance again.

[action]

[isthisourchance]

Right! And I know it'll go well when you do. [She nudges him playfully with her elbow.] After all, you two always were cute together.

[lakshgoaeiwhsfd;ojas!!!]

I-I-- U-Uhhhhh--

[action]

[isthisourchance]

At least I think so. [She giggles.] I'm rooting for you all the way, Kanji-kun!

[conflictedrebel]

[Kanji clears his throat a little.] U-uhh, thanks Chie-senpai. I'll do my best...

[action]

[isthisourchance]

No problem! Uh... I'd offer advice, but it's not like I really know anything about this kinda stuff. You'll do fine!

[action]

[conflictedrebel]

[Kanji nods as the beginnings of a blush creeps its way on to his face.] I hope so...

[action]

[isthisourchance]

I know so! You're a great guy, Kanji-kun. No lie!

[action]

[conflictedrebel]

T-Thanks Chie-senpai...
