[An amount of time later, Ayano will be at the theatre, waving her tall friend down once he comes into view. She's wearing a dark blue dress–-the kind you'd expect a girl to be wearing at something like the homecoming dance, but not quite prom. Ayano has heels and a fancy bracelet on as well, leaving her looking probably the nicest Kouhei has ever seen her. Of course, the red scarf is still there, though, as it's been since she got it.]
Kooooooooooooooouhei!
[She would jump up and down, but in these heels, she'd certainly fall flat on her face.]
[Despite Ayano being rather small in comparison to himself, she's never difficult to spot due to her scarf, and today is no exception. What is different is the rest of her attire, which actually suits her quite nicely. He isn't underdressed, is he? He wore a classic suit, but still!
Kouhei offers a subdued wave in return, smiling as he approaches her.]
[Why do girls always squeal around him?! HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND.]
T-Thanks, you do too-- don't fall! [He can't help but Mom Friend her just a little, instinctively holding his arms out to catch Ayano if she falls.... until she takes one of them and he blinks in surprise.]
Um, so what kind of performance is this? Everyone here seems well-dressed....
no subject
Of course I'm not wearing a suit! I'll be wearing a super cute dress, duh!
[He might hear her snapping her fingers against the mic as if to say "Get with it"]
So you'll meet me at [insert theater locale here]? You promise?
no subject
Yeah, I'll meet you there at 7. It's a promise.
---> Action!
Kooooooooooooooouhei!
[She would jump up and down, but in these heels, she'd certainly fall flat on her face.]
You came! For reals!
no subject
Kouhei offers a subdued wave in return, smiling as he approaches her.]
I did promise I'd be here, didn't I?
no subject
You look so great! Are you excited? I'm excited! [Wobbles over next to him and takes his arm in hers.]
I feel like such an aristocrat.
no subject
T-Thanks, you do too-- don't fall! [He can't help but Mom Friend her just a little, instinctively holding his arms out to catch Ayano if she falls.... until she takes one of them and he blinks in surprise.]
Um, so what kind of performance is this? Everyone here seems well-dressed....
no subject
[A pause, and then a devious smile.]
Oh! How old are you, again? Old, right?
no subject
[That smile can't be good.]
22 isn't old!
no subject
[The deviousness spreads from her lips to her eyes.]
They serve alcohol here, Kouhei.
no subject
[He totally knows what she's getting at, but he's giving her a dubious look anyway.]
no subject
Give in, Kouhei.
Give in.]

no subject
You're buying it for you! [Now she wraps both arms around his.]
And just letting me hold it and maybe takes some drinks out of it...
no subject
Is there that much of an appeal to drinking? Even if I bought one and gave you some, it wouldn't be enough to get you drunk.
[Except as they both know, she'd probably be able to sweet talk her way into making him handing over the whole glass.]
no subject
It's not about getting drunk! It's about being cool fancy attractive adults!
[Speaking of sweet talking...She leans her head into his shoulder.]
Pleeeeease~?
no subject
[What kind of alcohol are they talking.... If it's fancy, it has to be champagne or wine or a classy mixed drink, right?]
I mean, I'll go ahead and get one, but.... [He's so weak.]
no subject
It's all colorful and stuff...[Pats him on the back!!]
I feel so...legitimate!
no subject
[HE SAYS WHILE BUYING IT. And once he has the drink in hand, he just gently signs and turns to her.]
Do you want the first sip?
no subject
[She brightens right up when he offers it, though.]
Yes, gimme! [Ayano takes the drink and takes a loooong sip.
. . .
It tastes...Not like she expected––but she forces a smile anyway.]
S-So adult...
no subject
Are you okay?! You're not supposed to drink it that quickly!
[Not that he has much experience with these, but hey.]
no subject
It's good...W-What can I say...
[Blinkblink.]
You're gonna have some too, right?
no subject
[No, really, she's a disaster and he doesn't know how to deal with this.]
I may as well. I bought it for myself, after all. Even if it wasn't really my choice.
[So he takes a sip - a normal one, thankfully - and slightly furrows his brow.]
There's definitely a lot of vodka behind all the sugar.
