(Previously on Dragon Ba- I made this same joke last part. Not funny anymore)

~~~3rd POV~~~

Akeno: Good morning Yuki-Kun.

She said with a small smile.

Makoto: You too, Akeno-San.

He spoke with a stoic face.

It was silent for a while as Makoto decided to sit down on the opposite side of the table from Akeno. After a minute, Makoto decided to break the silence that formed.

Makoto: "I apologize for last night. I wasn't in the right head-space and had a few personal issues to deal with. I'm sorry for possibly making you uncomfortable." He said with his smooth monotone voice as he deeply bowed his head. Akeno than looked at him with a small smile.

Akeno: "It's fine. I also have some personal issues that are difficult to handle. How about we learn a bit about each other since we didn't get that far last night? Just a simple introduction will do, like this: " Akeno said as her small smile grew,

Akeno: "My name is Akeno Himejima. I like my school club, my friends, school, shrines and tea. I don't like rude people, criminals, and some other things." Makoto notices her tone darken slightly at the end but decided to ignore it because it sounded personal, "My hobbies include, reading, making tea, spending time at my clubroom, and doing certain things here." He saw her have a slight smirk at the ending also noticed her tone change strangely lecherous when she mentioned 'doing certain things here', he decided to not comment on that too, mostly for his own sake. She regained her small smile as she gestured to him and said,

Akeno: Well, your turn now.

Makoto continued to look at her for a small while before starting,

Makoto: "My name is Makoto Yuki. I like spending time with my friends, music, quietness and a specific person I won't mention. I don't like loud people, rude people, bad people, people that don't respect personal space, and being alone." Akeno barely noticed a very slight sadness in his voice when he was talking about being alone, although his face was still as stoic as ever, making an odd combo. He continued, "My hobby are reading, listening to music, making coffee and tea, playing games, and watching movies." Akeno thought that those hobbies is an odd combination for him. She didn't know much about him, but assumed that he was a quiet, timid type. Those hobbies are didn't really seem like someone like him would be interested in.

After that, they sat there for a couple minutes, stranded in an awkward silence.

Makoto: Thank you for your hospitality. I'll leave now.

Makoto stood up from the table and did a quick bow before turning to the door, about to walk away. Before he got far, Akeno suddenly said,

Akeno: You can stay here longer. I have a feeling you have nowhere else to stay and don't have any money currently. I still think you are a good and trusting person. Plus, I don't live at this shrine, I just like to go here sometimes for a couple of hours and occasionally stay a night.

Makoto, at this point couldn't really call this person sane anymore. Who in their right mind would willingly let someone they just met and broke into their side-house, stay at that same side-house for nothing besides a feeling they have.

Makoto just lightly sighed because she also hit dead on the mark with his current living situation and he couldn't really deny the money problem either. He turned towards her and stared into her violet eyes.

Makoto: (sigh) Understood. 'If Igor and Elizabeth managed to enroll me into a school, why couldn't they provide me with some money or temporary housing?'
