You went with: KUINA AND TATTA

-------------------------------------------------------------

Y/n's POV

"Uh, I'll go with kuina and tatta..." I say, awkwardly. When I say that, I notice usagi and arisu's expressions drop ever so slightly.

*wait, is this a good choice though?* I think to myself.

"Wait.. where's shibuki, chota, and karube?" Usagi suddenly asks. I look around and notice that indeed, they are not here.

"Oh shit, we left them..." I say, scratching the back of my nape, while avoiding eye contact with arisu.

"We'll find them. Maybe they're with Ann or chishiya.." kuina says, standing up. Tatta and kuina walk towards me, as kuina continues and says, "we won't be long. You'd better bring back something good." She says, sounding as tired by this.

"Oh, and if you can, can you try and bring me back a notebook and pen?" I ask, looking at them, hopefully.

"We will" usagi says, her arms crossed.

"Here." Arisu holds out a flashlight for us to take.

"Oh, cool.." tatta says, grabbing it and looking at it as if he's never seen such thing before.

"Okay, let's go." Kuina says, tiredly, as she interlocks her arms around both mine and tatta's.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." Tatta says, surprised as looks at kuina's interlocked arm then back up to her.

"Let me guess. You've never had a hot girl on your arm before? Come on." Kuina says, dragging both me and tatta with her, as I slightly laugh at their antics.

"Sure I have. Shut up!" Tatta says, nervously.

After what felt like forever of just walking, we walk into a garage and come across lots of cars.

"Okay, this is the spot. Nice, right?" Tatta says.

"Yea, nice. Lots of old cars, cool.." kuina says, unenthusiastically.

"Hey! They're not old, they're classic!" Tatta says, defending the cars. And I'm not going lie, some of them look cool.

"Who cares?"

"Wait! Are you kidding me?? Holy shit!" Tatta says, coming across a car he likes.

I lazily walk towards him, my arms crossed. I look at tatta with raised eyebrows, amused, although my eyes convey something else: tiredness and boredom.

"Just look at her curves!" Tatta says, caressing the car. I look at him as if he's weird.

"Dude, Don't be weird, it's just a car." Kuina says, walking besides him.

"Whoa! Have you ever seen something this hot?!"

I look at him with a "the fuck" Kinda face.

"You speak as if your in love with it.." I say, with a scrunched nose.

"Yea, that's gross..." kuina says, a slight pause in her words, before she continues. "You know, rich people are probably the ones who are suffering the most now. Everything they built, that mattered to them, it's all worthless now."

"Your right." Tatta says, standing up and shining the flashlight to the front of him. "I guess I'm lucky then.." he continues. "Don't have to worry about rent anymore."

"Yea, me too. No more credit card interest payments either." Kuina says. I decide to chime in. "Yea, and no more bills to pay.."

I look at them both and notice that they're both looking down.

"You know what.." tatta turns towards us. "Even with all the bills and payments, I still want to go home.."

Kuina nods slightly. "Yea, me too.."

I look at them, an unreadable expression on my face, as I slowly back away a little, my eyes facing neither of them.

*at least for them, they'll wake up in their world, but... what about me? ... is home even an option for me anymore? Am I stuck here?* I slightly shake my head, not wanting to dwell on it for any longer.

------------------------------------------------------------

As tatta is driving, we see usagi and arisu walking on the street, before they move out of the way, and look at us from outside the car.

"Hey, hey! Arisu! Usagi! Get in!" Tatta yells from inside the car, as he pulls up besides them.

"We're exposed in this thing." Kuina says.

"It's the only one I could get started." Tatta says.

"Your such a liar. We watched you fall in love with it. It was so gross. The way you felt it up." Kuina says, I nod, agreeing with her.

"Yea, I thought you woulda ended up on TLC with the way you were feeling it up." I add in, leaning forward on their seats.

"Said it was sexy..." kuina says, shivering from the thought of earlier.

"I said I liked It's curves." Tatta says, trying to defend himself.

"Dude, that's so gross." Kuina says.

"What do you mean 'gross'?? I like the car!" Tatta retaliate. I look over at arisu and usagi and see a smile on their faces.

Tatta then turns towards them. "Get in." He says, coolly, a smile on his face as he places his hand on the steering wheel. I look over at him, a smile on my face, as I pat his back.

Usagi then walks to the other side of the car, and gets in on the left side of me. Arisu watches. I look up at arisu.

"Get in, arisu." I say, softly, tilting my head to the empty spot next to me in the car. He breaks out of his little trance, and says, "Uh, yeah.."

He gets in, and sits on the empty spot next to me, awkwardly. Tatta revs the engine before starting to drive away, the cold breeze against our faces. As tatta is driving, arisu suddenly lets out a "oh!" Sound, before digging into his bag.

I look over at him, with raised eyebrows before he pulls out a notebook and pen. He then offers them to me.

"Got what you wanted, [reader]..." he says, softly. I slowly lean back, and grab them, a soft smile on my face.

"Thanks, arisu. Your the best!" I say, taking them in my hand. His eyes slightly widen.

"The best?" He says.

"Hell yea" I say, placing the notebook and pen in between my legs, and interlocking our hands together. It then look over at usagi, and notice her gaze on our interlocked hands. Using my free hand, I interlock her hand with mines as well, a smile on my face.
