Shipping the SDRA2 Cast With Each Other

Hajiemma/Hajime Makunouchi x Emma Magorobi

"Are you trying to flirt? Because you're embarrassing yourself." Emma sighed as she brushed concealer over Hajime's cheek to cover a bruise he got. "I'm pretty sure the 'falling for you' pick-up line has gotten very old quite quickly."

"Well, there was no other way to recover from falling down the damn stairs, if any at all." The boxer laughed, holding completely still for the girl. "Monocrow really needs to fix that stair, we can't have anyone else take the same tumble that I did."

"Well, Iroha is going to at least be joking about your fall for a while, and she's probably going to tell the other two. And maybe Him too." Emma replied, using a blending brush to finally mask Hajime's bruise. "But at the very least, I can prevent you from being the laughingstock of the class with this. Though I must admit, hearing you say a pick-up line while you're flat on your face was quite funny!"

"I'm glad you were able to derive amusement from my suffering." He dryly spoke, then looked around Emma's room as she finalized the makeup. Hajime had a feeling that if Emma wasn't the Ultimate Actress, she would be the Ultimate Makeup Artist. "Jeez, I'm gonna need to put ice on this, won't I?"

"And ruin my makeup arrangement?" The actress sighed and pointed to her fridge. "There's some packages of dry ice in there. Use it as an ice pack or something."

"Thanks, Emma. You're the best." Hajime smiled as he got up from her table and headed towards her fridge.

"It's no problem. After all, I don't want to give you the cold shoulder!" Emma joked as Hajime let out a groan.

"You're going to be the death of me one of these days. You and your puns are going to kill me." The boxer bemoaned, taking an ice pack out of the fridge and putting it on his cheek. "At least it's only you making puns. I swear, if Nikei, Iroha, or even Mikado start doing it, I'm going to go crazy."

"Well, you don't have to worry about Mikado making puns. He has literally no experience in social interaction, so there is absolutely no chance that he'll start making puns. And Nikei hates puns." Emma sighed melodramatically. "Well, at least I can attempt to convert Iroha to the dark side."

"Don't you dare."

"I'll give her cookies as positive reinforcement for training. She will become a pun master in no time! Mwahahaha!" The actress started playing around as Hajime sighed and shook his head. "Hey, if she incorporates jokes into her paintings, I'll be very impressed!"

The doorbell suddenly rang out, interrupting their banter as Emma ran to get it. She opened it up to see Nikei there, looking as grumpy as ever. "Oh, Nikei! Did you need anything?" Emma greeted him.

"Nah, I just wanted to check on Hajime. I heard from Iroha that a step broke under him." Nikei looked past Emma and into the room. "Yo, you okay? You didn't hit the ground too hard?"

"Yeah, I'm doing better. How many people has she told?" Hajime inquired. 

"Only me, and that's because I threatened to hide all of her manga if I hear word of the incident from someone else. You don't gotta worry about that." The journalist shrugged. "Hey, I gotta keep an eye out for you bastards somehow. Too bad about that step though. I think someone needs to lose weight."

"And I think it's time for someone to go." Emma interrupted as she pushed Nikei out the door. Hajime chuckled as they struggled, and the actress eventually managed to close the door on the smaller boy. She walked back with a pout on her face. "Good grief, you'd think he'd learn some manners."

"Well, how else are we supposed to not let ourselves get prideful without our daily dose of sarcasm?" Hajime joked. "But anyway, I'm glad that he at least wanted to check on me. Hopefully, Monocrow gets that stair fixed."

"I never did trust those stairs, you know." She added with a devious smile, and Hajime already knew that she was going to say something very painful. "They always seem like they're up to something!"

"Oh my god." The boxer groaned. "How much longer must I suffer for..."

"Aw, don't be like that. I can't have you taking 'flight' yet!" Emma laughed as she casually dropped another pun.

"Come on, Emma, don't do this to me. I'm injured, you wouldn't do psychological torture to an injured person, would you?" Hajime pleaded, and the other blonde only chuckled as she smiled sweetly.

"Sora did get me a new joke book recently, and I've had nobody to test them on yet." Emma happily replied. "Kokoro told me once that there must be sacrifices in the name of science, so I supposed this could count as 'research,' wouldn't you say?"

Hajime swallowed, he knew he was already doomed.
