[Action Log] [Double Date] [open to Hanato, Kotsuki, Izume]

[anbu_moon]

One hand held the crumpled “Free Kisses” sign and the other was stuffed firmly in his pocket as Yuugao walked beside Hanato towards Kotsuki and Izume’s apartment. He was feeling mostly calm and he hoped to keep it that way. He still spared his hair a glance every few minutes - it was blocking his vision in a funny way - but by every other visible

Izume loved dates, but even more than that, she loved double dates. It'd become almost second nature to her, really, ever since that fateful mission, to constantly surround herself with people, and dates were perfect ways to do that. Night out, free dinner (yay!), and (usually) lovely company. That she'd be going on a date with her best buddy was just icing on the cake.

"That'd be them," she announced to said best buddy, before skipping over to the door to throw it open.

"Yuugao-kun, Hanato-kun~" she practically cooed, flashing both men her best smile. She gave them both a once over and, as expected, Hanato looked as handsome as ever, and Yuugao, surprisingly, looked quite spiffy as well. They must've had some 'guy time', Izume chalked up, and half-turned to call over Kotsuki over her shoulder.

While they waited, Izume continued to smile prettily, looking to both men and saying the usual compliment, "You two look great." But this time she didn't have to lie~

Hanato gave Yuugao a second's worth of lead time, but the other man still kept quiet--was he muttering under his breath? He reeked of nervousness. With a sigh, Hanato stepped up and took charge again.

"'Fraid I can't say the same, Izume. I'm running out of vocabulary again...how about stupendous?" He grinned cheekily at her. This kind of banter was second nature, and he could already feel himself relaxing into it, and the prospect of a night spent with nothing more angst-inducing than one too many beers.

Bring them on!

Kotsuki, who had been trying to get her hair to behave for once, appeared just in time to hear Hanato’s comment.

“Flattery will get you just about everywhere, Hanato-kun.” Grinning, she turned to Yuugao. “As will good looks.”

Kotsuki's familiar comment helped Yuugao eek out the last of his anxiety and he smiled softly, lifting a hand to idly toy with the particular chunk of hair in his bangs that was irritating him.

"Certainly hasn't done me any harm. You girls ready to go, or do we get to lounge around your place while you finish primping?"

Nothing to it at all. Just act natural, stop worrying and all would be well.

He leaned against the doorway and winked at Kotsuki, then grinned over at Hanato, pretending to whisper. "I think I got the better pick, she's less prone to hitting."
