[Open prompt - Afternoon]

[Ibuki can be found today climbing all over a specific mammoth, and...]

[Are those bottles of dye from the barber shop? Yes, yes it is. Ibuki is, indeed, busy giving a mammoth colorful streaks throughout its fur]

[Closed prompt to Ippo - Evening]

Cannon ball!!

[At the onsen, Ibuki gently catapulting into the water.]

[... where, apparently, Ippo had taken a stop for the evening after a long day of exercise and various other tasks]

[Did Ibuki already know he was there? It's difficult to say, really...]

Comments

[windgod]

R-right...

[He wasn't going to pry if Ibuki didn't want to talk about it, though he could guess that it had something to do with her parents. Best to get off that topic.]

It would be...definitely. We'd have to buy everything individually and set it all up in the same general area...maybe we can convince other people to join in though?

[scary_music]

Ooohh! Good idea, Ippo-chan! There's gotta be other people here that'll wanna chip in!! Yeah!

[She laughs happily at the idea of an amusement park being there at the Bastion]

This'll be amazing!

[And she gives Ippo a hug!]

[windgod]

[Well, at least he had the strength to keep his head from going back under the water from the hug now that he saw it coming proper and moved just a bit to get his back against something solid. At least now he could be nervous in relative comfort.]

H-ha, yeah! It...it'll be a n-nice change of pace...!

[scary_music]

... ahaha... maybe Ibuki should move off of you, Ippo-chan...

[She slowly scoots to the side to do just that]

[windgod]

S-sorry...still getting used to the whole...closeness thing. Still, p-progress I guess?

[He hadn't freaked out, locked up, or erstwhile gotten himself hurt, so that was definitely a step in the right direction??]

[scary_music]

Don't be sorry! Don't!

Ibuki may not look it or act like it, but she's full of nervous doki doki feels, too!

[windgod]

Small steps, right?

[She sure did have a way of cheering him up, that was for sure. Getting over his awkward nervousness was going to be one heck of a fight...but if he took it piece by piece, he was sure he could eventually pick it apart.]

[scary_music]

But today was definitely one big cannon ball! Right, Ippo-chan?

[windgod]

Definitely one of the biggest one I've ever been a part of.

[scary_music]

We'll have to have more cannon balls in the future, Ippo-chan! Lots!

[windgod]

[Have a few pats on the head Ibuki, because even naked you're adorable.]

I'll do my best to keep up with the cannon balls at the very least.

[scary_music]

[Ibuki laughs happily at the head patting]

Good, good! Ibuki's counting on you, Ippo-chan! Ibuki believes in you!

[windgod]

[Ippo smiled and leaned a little closer, looking from side to side secretively before speaking.]

Do you want to know a secret?

[scary_music]

Ooh? A secret? What is it, Ippo-chan? What is it? Is it a super high school level secret?

Is Ippo-chan going to sneak in a kiss at Ibuki?!

[... and then, Ibuki goes for the kiss!]

[windgod]

The secret is...that I love yo-mph!

[And his little attempt at being suave was rather quickly interrupted by a kiss that hit it's mark. Sure he was planning on a little nose kiss after the reveal, but Ibuki was always quicker on the draw than he was it seemed.]

[scary_music]

Eheheh... I love you too, Ippo-chan.

[And she proceeds to rub her nose against Ippo's]

[windgod]

[How could he not smile at this? He'd officially have to be heartless if he didn't.]

How about...we head out and get some dessert at home, huh? I think we've soaked long enough...I'm starting to feel prune-ish.

[scary_music]

Yeah, yeah! We don't want to become spontaneous crotchety old maids for staying here too long on our tushies!

[She starts to stand up as she says that, grabbing her towel from where it had dropped]

[windgod]

[And...one more side glance, because how could he not? Before he grabbed his own towel and rose from the water. This had been a strange experience...but an enlightening one as well. Who'd have guessed that's how his day was going to go?]

Right, right, that would be no good. Do you have any ideas for what you want for dessert?

[scary_music]

Mmm...

Ibuki feels a calling...

From beyond the boundaries of time and space... sauerkraut German chocolate cake!!

[windgod]

...what? and how even...?

[He couldn't even imagine what that would look like, let alone how it would actually taste.]

[scary_music]

Ibuki has noooooooo clue? Do we even have sauerkraut?

[windgod]

Not...that I know of? Why would...anyone ever combine those two things though??

[scary_music]

The same reason why anyone would ever combine beef jerky and chocolate chips!

[windgod]

I...suppose so. Unfortunately I'm not sure I can make a regular german chocolate cake, let alone one with sauerkraut.
