'One might say that my life was fairly ordinary, or at least as ordinary as someone's life can be considered in this world. There was once an incredible war of giant robots and drills, but that has nothing to do with me - hell, I was just a kid living underground when that all went down, I was barely aware of any of it to begin with. I just ( Read more... )

And yet, there was a customer. She made her presence obvious as she parked her gunbee just outside before making her way inside the store front. It was pretty impressive how, despite the heat, she didn't seem bothered by it at all...but at the same time, considering what she was wearing, maybe it wasn't that surprising at all.

"Hey," she says, approaching the counter Kyon was sitting at. "Is your mechanic in right now?" making it obvious she wasn't a regular. To be honest, it was a little awkward for her to ask for help like this--usually she was able to fix her gunbee all by herself, but it was pretty obvious something was genuinely broken this time.

Kyon lifted his head a bit as he heard someone park outside - the glare from the sun made it hard to make out the customer's features, so he couldn't see who it was until she finally stepped into the store itself. And then he saw her features. Oh, did he see her features.

'Now don't get me wrong - I see a pretty woman now and then, around the city. That's just a simple fact of life. But I can safely say, beyond all shadow of a doubt, that this was the first time I was struck literally speechless by someone's looks. The face, a knockout! The body, unhindered by an abundance of clothing... dynamite! I won't call it love at first sight, because I'm fairly sure what I felt was far darker than love.'He blinked once, twice, before realizing that she'd spoken to him. "O-oh! Uh, yeah. One sec." He turned in his seat, calling into the next room. "Hey, dad! Customer!" It was less than thirty seconds before the older man stepped out - it seemed most of Kyon's looks came straight from him, though the mechanic had a full beard and ( ... )

"I'll show you," she says as soon as she's asked, only paying enough attention to Kyon to get his father's attention. Which was to say, not much at all, and once she had his attention she barely even noticed Kyon.

She steps outside and gestures to her gunbee. "It runs alright, but only in a straight line. It won't turn, even if I turn the steering column. Could you take a look at it for me?"

'Ah, of course - as someone much younger than her, I'm practically invisible in her eyes, right? I'm cursed to look, but nothing more... how tragic.'He rested his cheek in his hand as he watches her lead his father outside - good thing his mom was busy, this kind of girl might make her get jealous. He continued to watch as his father went through the process of bringing the gunbee inside the workshop with Yoko in tow. Yes, his mom would be jealous beyond belief. Hopefully she'd be making lunch a little longer ( ... )
