(Danganronpa V3 - Cool Morning)

Drake had started his morning quickly, the morning announcement began and Drake had already left his dorm room. He had only crossed the fresh hold of the dinning hall when he heard bickering. "Reculez, idiot. ((Back off, you idiot.)) Go and bother someone else!" Rozū yelled at Hajiga, who had once again approached her. (Oh boy, another round of Rozū yells at Hajiga.) Rocky, Akemi and Jõshõ were also sitting around a table by the entrance.

"I just wanted to ask you how you have been." Haijiga asked, he scratched his head and kept at a reasonable distance from Rozū "I've come to realise that my ways of approaching you have been ... unpleasant." Rozu's cold expression loosened slightly "I just want to apologise to you, I should not have portrayed my feelings to you in such a rude manner." Hajiga continued.

"..." Rozū closed her eyes and let out a breath "thank you." She sounded annoyed, but it was apparent that she was scienere.

"If you would be so kind, would you care to sit down and talk?" The fencing pro asked politely, even Drake couldn't sense any romantic intention (his gestures are casual, the way he's speaking is calm and collected. Nothing like the head over heels buffon that Hajiga normally acts like. Something is wrong here.)

Rozū hesitated for a moment, before she turned her back to Hajiga "two cups of coffee, after that we go our separate ways." She claimed before walking into the kitchen, the fencing pro followed after her. But, he stopped in the doorway, turned and threw a thumbs up to the group of people before sipping through the door.

"What was that?" Rocky asked, "did one of you three do something?" Both Drake and Josho declined it, but Rocky zero'd in on Jõshõ, leaning in to address him "don't tell me you of all people didn't have anything to do with this."

"For once, no, I had no part in this romantic endeavour." Jõshõ sighed disappointedly, "oh, how I would have savoured that drink with her, those delicate eyes, oh how they stare with such a strong passion ..." Jõshõ murmured as he drifted off into a daydream.

"Okay ... then-"

"It was me" Akemi interjected, she was beaming with pride as she watched them from her seat "oh, I'm so proud of him. He took all of my classes to heart. Approached calmly, apologised for previous mistakes, then politely ask her to a small bonding activity. Hook, line and sinker." Akemi snapped her fingers excitedly, causing Drake and Rocky to glance at each other with concern.

"You're really into the romantics of it all, huh." Drake commented while taking a seat at the table. Akemi nodded, her eyes still glued to the fencer and the ballet dancer (Two dancers, both of different kinds. What an odd similarity, yet completely contrasting careers.)

Rocky sighed "I guess this is my fault" he looked exhausted as he glanced at Akemi "I went all romantic on her in my pursuit of ... well, her. Now whenever she sees a 'romantic opportunity' she goes all mom on their asses." Rocky leaned back in his chair, and threw his fingers through his hair "it's exhausting to tell you that much." His girlfriend in question paid no attention to his comments, she was too swept up in the romantic fantasies that she had created for Hajiga and Rozū. After the seamstress was freed from her love struck trance, the trio spent the morning talking and just socializing casually.

"Hey Drake, can I ask for your help with something?" Akemi asked, Drake nodded with a smile "wow, I didn't even tell you what it was and you're already saying yes. Haha, anyways, I was going to ask you to help me design some clothes with me, I think that your creative eye would be most helpful."
