The Silver Spotlight *Me (Alex64) & That Guy*

[Alex64]

Rozlyn grabbed another Pocky, idly placing one end in her mouth, and pointing the other towards Makoto; the implications were perfectly clear.
"Huh... Interestin'~"

 

[That Guy]

Makoto's blush softened, but distinctly remained.
"Lyn-chan..."

She started to lean in, but stopped short at the sound of Hajime politely clearing his throat at the door.

 

[Alex64]

Glancing towards him, Rozlyn grinned.
"Oh, hey Haji-kun. Wassup?"

 

[That Guy]

"...How can you act so casual after what I just walked in on?"
By all rights, he should have sounded shocked and appalled, but his tone was more one of incredulity than anything else. Makoto, meanwhile, quietly shrank back, glowing an almost neon shade of red.

 

[Alex64]

"Well, I was thinkin' maybe you wanted in, too~" Rozlyn winked, trying to both divert the attention away from Makoto and take away some of her embarrassment.

 

[That Guy]

"N-no!" he insisted, all too quickly, as he, too, turned an intense reddish hue.

 

[Alex64]

"Huh... Yer red face seems t' say otherwise~"

 

[That Guy]

"Th-that..! Is not..!" He released a restrained noise that one would swear was indigenous only to anime. "...Are all America-jin like this?"

 

[Alex64]

"If I get funny reactions like that, yeah," she grinned.

 

[That Guy]

Hajime buried his face in one arm, giving an exasperated sigh. Makoto, meanwhile, afforded herself a polite chuckle, her mood already beginning to settle down once more.

 

[Alex64]

"Kehehehe..." Rozlyn giggled to herself. "Anyways, what's th' time lookin' like?"

 

[That Guy]

Breathing one last sigh, Makoto checked her phone.
"...Still a few more hours to go."

 

[Alex64]

"Maaaan..." Rozlyn whined, resting her chin on her forearms. "Midnight can't c'mere soon enough."

 

[That Guy]

"We could set off early," Hajime suggested. "That way, we can see how the city looks at night, and at our own pace."

 

[Alex64]

"Ooh, adventurous~ Ya sure yer able ta keep th' both of us safe~?" Rozlyn grinned.

 

[That Guy]

"Lyn-chan...You seem like you're very able to look after yourself." He shook his head slowly. "But I'll try."

 

[Alex64]

"Alright!" Rising from her chair, she beckoned them as she made for the door. "C'mon then, let's go!"

 

[That Guy]

"Right!~"
Makoto set to following her, with Hajime almost close behind, to the same degree as his attempts to hide his reluctance.

 

[Alex64]

***
As Rozlyn walked alongside her friends in the moonlit night, she asked, "So what's it usually like at night 'round here? Or d'ya know?"

 

[That Guy]

"It's mostly fine," Hajime remarked, contemplating his glasses absentmindedly. "...That is, as long as you stay away from the delinquents..."
"Aw, don't worry, Haji-kun, Lyn-chan..." Makoto grinned widely. "They're like spiders-- if you don't bother them, they won't bother you. Probably."
