"Come on, Edgeshot. It'll ruin the grand-o surprise I have planned if she goes home for tonight! Besides..." Haru chirped with a toothy grin and ran over to him, with a hand to his head. "It's a special day, her B-Day.~" Her whispers left a stunned ninja in place after she stepped back.


With her hands on her hips, it felt as if she had won, and when a sigh escaped the pro hero and nodded, the girl cheered. "Haha, cool! UV-Ray, stay with Kirishima okay? Hitoshi and I need to run to the store real quick for... Stuff!" Har-Har tried her best to avoid mentioning anything relating to birthdays, so with a hand nervously rubbing the back of her neck and a step back, Uviel couldn't help but begin to question their strange secrecy; hers in particular.


"I-- guess, sure. How long will you be?" curious, embarrassed at the fact that she'd be left alone with her crush, aside from Kamihara... Her heart already started to pick up at the thought and didn't even notice her red cheeks. I- I have Kamihara with me, so I'm not completely alone with Eijiro, right?! Panic rose in her mind, that was until she saw a smirk play at the snake girl's lips.


"I don't know. Maybe-- an hour at most? Don't worry, though. We can meet up at the gaming arcade if you want!" cheerfully she spoke, answering the cybergirl with her brightest smile and quickly grabbing Shinso's hand. "Let's go! The more time we waste talking, the more we waste the day away!" In a rush, like a rocket shooting across the street, comical dust flew when she bolted and made the boy flail like a flag.


Now Saito was left with Eijiro and her idol hero, purely astonished at the incredible speed Haru took off. "I wouldn't be surprised if Hitoshi came back with a broken limb... With how he flailed like that," at that moment, she felt a sweatdrop trickle down her face and heard an agreeing hum from Edgeshot behind her.


~~~Haru~~~


Around the corner, left and right, the two sprinted down the street. With their hands so tightly clenched together, it was hard for Hitoshi to ignore how small and delicate it seemed. With how much she trained, the cruelty she received, and the roughness her hands had undergone, he was surprised at their softness.


Pink tints dusted his cheeks as he kept his attention on their clasped hands and slowly those purple eyes looked up to stare at her bright and lively beauty. Her open, happy smile, the excitement on her face, the aura she radiated, and all of her beautiful scales that glistened under the sun's rays. It was captivating to him, for he couldn't stop himself from gawking. Beautiful.~ he thought, too focused on her to truly think.


"In here!" Quickly, into a party shop, they went through a pair of double doors and raced into an aisle. "Hitoshi! We need to look for party streamers, some fancy paper that we can make into pretty decorations, and a lot of party cups! Oh-- don't forget Styrofoam plates. We need a lot of--" Before she could finish, he overran her when he spoke and felt his weight shift.


"So, is this why you brought me here? Since you can't read or anything, or don't know what's-what in the store?" a brow lifted after he looked up at the shelf next to him and reached up for a pack of red, plastic cups.
