getting_better

I could find it for you, if you want. [And she probably could, she's good at this type of thing thanks to her psychometry.]

Then after I do, we could try it all again~

[Then he'd definitely, definitely want to protect it, right?]

[ Hold up. ]

Hold on. So you're telling me you'll go look for my missing wallet, return it to me, then proceed to rob me all for the sake of a gag?

[ . . . ]

Your dedication to this joke is astounding.

[ Damn and he thought he was dedicated to silly jokes. He better up his game. ]

[That earns him a bright peal of laughter at the very idea that Shiho "I'm sleeping in until 12pm" Sannomiya could be that dedicated to a joke.]

Well, that and I thought you'd want it back?

Well, ain't that's sweet of you.

[ But the wallet just contained a few crumpled yen, some fake ID's, an expired gym membership card, and ice cream parlor stamp card with eight stamps. Two more visits and he gets a free scoop.

So nothing of value really outside of the stamp card.

All of his money are in offshore accounts and lifetime storage vaults all across his world under fake names with expansive profiles. He could buy five star hotel and still have enough money to rent out a whole ski resort. The perks of being a government black ops agent, too bad he's a criminal. ]

Hey, I'm plenty sweet when it's for someone I want to be sweet towards.

[And that definitely includes him. Hope he enjoys getting that ice cream parlor stamp card back, then!

Her own money is stored in a trust by the government... probably no longer accessible now that she's a criminal but then again it wasn't difficult for a psychometer to make more money.]

Oh? Then I must be really lucky then.

[ This is nice. A beautiful girl on his arm, making jokes while strolling through the woods. He knows there'll be many more times like this but it still feels a little unbelievable. But there she is, her smile and voice, her eyes reminding him that this wasn't a dream. It makes him smile, it makes him laugh like a child. ]

Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh. I just...heh! I can't stop for some reason.

Of course~

[But she's also lucky too, to have him smiling with her, letting her hold onto his arm. And he's happy about it, that bubble of happiness so infectious that she can't help laughing too.]

Because you're happy, right? It's okay to laugh when you're happy. I like it.

Thanks for the assurance!

[ It's a fantastic feeling but one he knows he'll get used to with time, only because he knows that things between them will also get better. ]

Actually, my face is starting to cramp a little from all this smiling. Not that I can really stop it though!

[ He says with a small laugh as he rubs his cheek. ]

[She's giggling again, curling her arm just a bit tighter around his.]

Oh no~ Should I massage it for you?

[Her free hand comes up to rub at the side of his cheek, as if that would actually help and isn't just because she wants to touch him.]

O-Oi!

[ He's laughing even as one side of his face gets pushed in. ]

Y-You just want to push my cheek in, don't you?

[ It's silly, childish, and just what he needs more of in his life. ]

Nope, I just wanted to touch you.

[She laughs, then gently lets go to lean up and press a kiss to his cheek instead.]

Did it work?

[ He took a breath and blushed. Jeez, this girl is too cute. ]

...Maybe.

[ Yes it did. His face muscles are still straining from smiling but he's forgotten about it because of that kiss. He might be egging her on for another.]

[Oh, she can tell it worked but she's happy to play along, leaning against him and peering up at him.]

Maybe? Do I need to do it again so you can be sure, then?

[Because she'll beckon with her free hand for him to lean in closer.]

[ Does she even really need to ask? She's just teasing at this point. He...kinda likes it.

He leans in with a feigned pout,m for another kiss. At this rate she could say jump and he'd already be in the air if she promised a kiss afterward. ]

[Well, that's good enough for her! Shiho pushes herself up on her toes and presses another soft kiss to his cheek, lingering a little so she can whisper to him.]

Better?

[ Why is she such a cute and irresistible little gremlin? Why ask if it's better when she already knows the answer? Of course he's better and happy!

He actually really embarrassed as well but his face is still smiling but he's trying so hard to hold it back, with no success. After realizing how goofy he looks he brings a hand up to hide his mouth.

Gosh, really. Why is she so cute??? He's not going to answer, she knows. ]

[He doesn't answer her question but she can certainly answer his! She grins up at him, fingers coming up to gently grasp the hand he has hiding his mouth.]

I was born this cute.

[ While that was a fact that was previously established, her timing still sent his mind careening into a spiral of happiness, admiration, and embarrassment.

In other words, moe.

He was shot through the heart, and she's to blame. ]

...My face is all better.

[ So please don't pull down his hand and expose his goofy smile. ]

[Her grin becomes a giggle and her fingers curl a little around his hand, thumb stroking gently at the back before she lets go.]

Well, if you say it is. Then as your cute girlfriend, I believe you.

[Besides, she can see his goofy smile just fine with her psychometry.]

[ He quickly rub his mouth when she lets go because clearly treating a goofy smile and embarrassment like ketchup on your face is the right thing to do. ]

I'm grateful.

[ He's still trying to get a grasp of the extent of her powers so the fact she already saw the dumb smile escapes him. ]

Oh yeah! There's should be a petting zoo near the end of this trail. Do you want to check it out for a bit?

[ Misdirection, always works. But psychic girlfriend. Eh, he'll figure it out eventually. ]

[Luckily for him this misdirection actually works because 1) she likes him and 2) she likes petting cute animals.

Though she'll still smile mischievously at him, leaning in because she isn't fooled for even a moment.]

Sure, that sounds like fun.

[ Please let him have this, his face still feels hot. ]

Alright then.

[ He's never gone there but he's soared above it enough times to see the critters there. Although the keepers always got alerted whenever he flew by, as they should when they have small prey animals out in an open space and a bird of prey comes along.

He found great amusement in that. ]

[She'll let him have this because while she isn't fooled, she also finds his bashfulness just adorable.

Shiho has also never been to said petting zoo but she can probably find it with her psychometry. Or, you know, purposefully get lost with him on the way so she could spend more time with him, that's fine too.]

You'll ruin your dinner. [Don't eat small prey animals, please.]

I'm not going to eat petting zoo animals!

[ Honest. He's not that bad. ]

I honestly didn't even know it was there. I just swooped by, thought to poke around and then the next thing I knew there were a bunch of zoo keepers looking in my direction. One of them even had a net!

[ That was rude. ]

Honestly if anything they need to compensate me! I mean - [ He moved away for just a moment and jumped towards the railing nearby, but as he did his body turned lack like a shadow and in less than a second had become smaller, fuzzier, and distinctly avian. An eagle owl landed on the railing and turned to her with and spoke directly into her head. ] - what's scary about an owl just perching like this???

[ Yes, what is frightening about a bird of prey perched high above rabbits, puppies, kittens, and other small defenseless creatures? ]

So it was just an accident, then. We should definitely make them compensate you.

[Really though he shouldn't ask her because she's actually really biased??

Shiho hums cheerfully in reply to him pretty much admitting to scaring small defenseless creatures as an owl. But it's fine (??) she thinks it's cute. Hearing his voice in her mind makes her raise an eyebrow at him as she walks closer to the fluffy owl on the railing, tilting her head like she's thinking very deeply about this.]

...Nothing's scary about you at all.

[She says, smiling brightly.]
