Comments: Go for it
Niou: *is awake at an ungodly hour, dressed in sweats and loose coats, standing outside of Sanada's house*
Sanada: *finishes tying her shoelace before heading outside her home, eager to start on her morning run with Niou on this cold winter morning* A part of me thought you wouldn't show up.
Niou: *snorts* I can't let you outshine me, now can I? *grins*
Sanada: Heh, I think it's a little late for that. *adjusts the yellow ribbon keeping her ponytail in place* You're not going to start complaining about how cold it is halfway, right?
Niou: *rolls her eyes* If I complain, you can kick my ass however you want to.
Sanada: I'll take you up on that offer the moment I hear a complaint. *slides her hat smoothly through her ponytail, adjusting the black cap snuggly*
Niou: So are we going or what?
Sanada: *narrows her eyes at Niou momentarily before bolting away at a moderate pace* You're the one staying behind. *calls out to Niou once she had already taken a few strides*
Niou: *twitches, but easily catches up* And you thought running all those laps at practice haven't done any good
Sanada: I would be disappointed in you if you couldn't catch up.
Niou: I kind of thought so *rather amused at this*
Sanada: *side glances at Niou* Of course. I don't expect those on my team to slack off.
Niou: *tries not to laugh at that* hmm
Sanada: *was completely serious* You look amused.
Niou: Kind of...not completely
Sanada: *focuses her attention back on the pavement, picking up the pace slightly* We'll see if you'll still be amused by the end of this run.
Niou: Yeah...how far do you usually run?
Sanada: Until my legs give out and then I push through that and run some more.
Niou: *eyes go wide* Damn
Niou: Bury me where I fall then
Sanada: Burying you would take extra effort on my part, I'll just leave you to freeze on the sidewalk.
Niou: .....I love you too, Sanada
Sanada: *looks at Niou with slight amusement* I suppose I could carry you back if I felt generous enough, but the chances aren't likely.
Niou: Yeah, thought so
Sanada: *picks up the pace after about 5 minutes, more than enough time for their leg muscles to have warmed up* I have confidence you'll make it through the run.
Niou: ...thanks....
Sanada: I was trying to instill confidence in you. *glances away from the pavement and over to Niou* We'll go just a few miles.
Niou: Hey, this is your run. I can keep up with you. *is a matter of pride at this point*
Sanada: Oh? You sound confident now compared to only moments ago.
Niou: What can I say, you know how to get on my nerves
Sanada: Heh. *bursts into a sprint* Keep up.
Niou: Not a problem *matches her pace with Sanada's* It's not too bad...so far
Sanada: Then maybe we should pick up the pace even more?
Niou: Go for it
Sanada: You might die on the side of the sidewalk if I do.
Niou: Didn't we already have this conversation?
Sanada: Maybe. I'm not the best of conversationalist. *picks up speed into a full out run*
Niou: *runs for a few more seconds at the previous pace and catches up* You're not much at anything except running, tennis, and flirting with Yukimura
Sanada: Wh-what?!? *caught offguard by Niou's outlandish accusations, almost finds herself tripping but regains balance* There is no flirting!
Niou: Really? Huh...I could swear you blush every time you talk to him.
Niou: Actually, I can almost feel you blushing when you answer his comments in your journal. It's like...reading a really badly written romance novel...without the romance
Sanada: ...Did you hit your head on something today?! *runs faster out of frustration* I don't blush and our comments are completely normal.
Niou: I don't know. My brother might have hit me on the head while I was asleep. I wouldn't put it past him. *keeps her pace close, but stays out of arms reach* Hey, all girls blush around their crushes.
Sanada: Clearly that seems to be the most logical answer *tugs at the brim of her hat, side glaring at Niou* I don't have a crush on anyone, that's a waste of time.
Niou: *smirks* Suuuuure you don't
Sanada: *glares, almost tempted to smack Niou* I don't.
Niou: *doesn't say another word for a while*
Sanada: Hmph. *continues to run, thoughts mulling over how ridiculous Niou is and perhaps is in need of some extra laps at training tomorrow*
Niou: So does he have a tiny penis?
Sanada: ..... I'm going to hit you if you keep talking such nonsense. *visibly upset*
Niou: Fine.
Sanada: *runs even harder, now very much wanting Niou to die on the sidewalk.*
Niou: *stays just within sight, but staying back, not even close to wanting to die yet*
Sanada: *continues to run in silence, contemplating all the ways to up their training tomorrow*
Niou: *catches up to her* Hey....
Sanada: *glares* Hmm?
Niou: ....I'm sorry
Sanada: ....*speechless, almost in shock that Niou would apologize*
Niou: Even I admit that was a bit too far...
Sanada: *turns her head slightly away from Niou so as to hide her obviously surprised face* .... Aa..
niou: *looks the other way*
Sanada: ...It's fine. *finally says after keeping silent for a while*
Niou: Good
Sanada: But, laps tomorrow will be doubled.
Niou: *twitches* Fair enough
Sanada: Maybe I'll even extend training for an extra hour.
Niou: *groans* That's just cruel
Sanada: Hmm. Is it? Maybe I should extend practice an extra hour from now on every day.
Niou: *twitches more* You wouldn't dare...Gen-chan
Sanada: .... Oh, I wo -- *stops mid run*
Niou: *almost runs into her, but manages to stop* .....Bye *turns to the side and runs for her life*
Sanada: *turns just as quickly and chases after the other girl* NIOU.
