For all that's true, for all you do

[ A note goes up on the fridge shortly after Chie signs the chicken petition on Monday: ]



[ Come 6 pm, she has prepared some coffee and tea so people can have something to drink while watching the shenanigans that will happen, as well as hot sauce as penalty for refusing a dare. So come here and have fun, y'all. ]

[nankurunaisa]

Mm, okay. Sure.

[Zero hesitation. She's pretty comfortable at this point (still?), so she just holds out her arm without any ceremony.

...

...wait a second.]

I didn't know that was the kinda image yo were goin' for.

[Heh. Heh.]

[blazeit]

Hey, if the image is "could kick your ass in a skirt", I'm okay with that.

[ Although will Weiss get mad at him for stealing her image? Anyway, he grabs her hand, then dips his head to press his lips to the back of her hand for a second or two before letting go. ]

There, that's all I wanted.

1/2

[nankurunaisa]

You sure it's not "little brother who had to wear a skirt 'cause someone told him to"? Hehe, maybe if I get an extra performance outfit, I'll let ya try it on.

[She's teasing! Hibiki isn't even a skirt girl herself unless she's performing, it's all about jeans and shorts.]

[nankurunaisa]

[Ah.

Even if it's to her hand, that's still her first kiss that didn't come from a dog, cat, chipmunk, flying squirrel, pig, rabbit, parrot, snake, hamster, or alligator.

Sorry, Bakugou, Hibiki reacts in a flustered way, quickly pulling her arm back.]

W...what the heck was that for?! That was weird! Really weird!

[blazeit]

What do you mean what the hell was that for. It's not that weird, and — besides! It's obviously for a dare.

[ Obviously... right? ]

[nankurunaisa]

It's really weird! Ya can't just kiss an idol without warnin'...that sorta thing would lead to a scandal.

[That's her defense for being so flustered. Really, it's because she's easily embarrassed about anything kiss or love or relationship related.]

[blazeit]

Seriously, even a peck to the back of the hand like that? Man, idols are some serious fucking business.

[ ... It's probably a good thing he totally buys her excuse. ]

[nankurunaisa]

Mm. Yep. Exactly. Even somethin' like that.

[She's lying so bad to cover up her lack of "what is love" breakthroughs. Kissing??? fuck let her hug a dog]

[blazeit]

[ It's okay... Bakugou is basically a very large, ornery golden retriever in need of house training anyway. ]

... But why?

[nankurunaisa]

Well...being an idol, it means my job is to inspire me! And some people don't get inspired when they see idols kissin' guys, y'know?

[It's about the fans, both male and female, though Hibiki decides to elaborate.]

Namuko Pro doesn't have a clause against that kind of thing, though...I mean, if I wanted to, I could have...look, it's just really complicated!

[blazeit]

... Isn't that basically just saying it'd destroy some guy's fantasy that they could date you someday?

[ He's... not strictly wrong... ]

[nankurunaisa]

I really wish you wouldn't say it like that. But I don't mind. I mean, things like...l-love aren't that important to me.

[She knows this, but she still signed on anyways.]

But just for the record, idols have lots of girl fans, too! All of Namuko Pro's members are female, and we have a lot of support!

[blazeit]

I mean, it'd be kinda weird if you became an idol to fall in love, wouldn't it?

[ Really all he has gleaned about idols at this point is the singing and the dancing, he doesn't even know about the beautiful friendship and all that. ]

[nankurunaisa]

If I'm bein' honest here, it'd be weird to fall in love at all. The most important thing in life is workin' hard, not fallin' in love.

[She has zero experience. She's braindead when it comes to love, even when it comes to pretending to be in love.]

[blazeit]

Yeah, exactly. You gotta kick ass at what you do first and foremost! The rest of it will come later!

[ Like fame, riches, being in the top taxpayer bracket, being respected by everybody. Maybe also fans? Possibly love? He doesn't know about those last two... ]

oh my god their goals are actually similar

[nankurunaisa]

Mm! When I get out of here, I have to get right back on track to bein' top idol! Nankurunaisa!

[Fame. Respect. Loving fans that she can love in return. Money to support her mother and her pets. Finding a boyfriend??? Buying her own shark tank would be cooler.]

get dat respect, get dat money

[blazeit]

Yeah, I got some shit to take care of too... so we'd better get outta this shithole sooner rather than later. [ How can he be the future no. 1 superhero if he's stuck here like this?! ]

[nankurunaisa]

I'm sure we'll get out of here! I dunno when, but...I'm not gonna give up on that.
