Under the Rainfall: Episode 6

"Horn Buddies"

A few hours later, the date between Shoto and Momo continues. The two exit a queue for the roller coaster, along with a few members of Class 1-A, having just finished the ride. Momo begins ecstatically running around, hyper after the ride. Meanwhile; Shoto is nervously sweating and hyperventilating.

Momo: Ahahaha — That was exciting! Shoto, where do you wanna go next?!

Shoto: *Pant* *Pant* M- Momo... slow down.

Momo notices Shoto's drained expression after riding the roller coaster.

Momo: Shoto, are you okay?

Shoto: N- No worries, I just-

Shoto begins choking up, clearly about to vomit. Momo sees this and guides him to an empty bench. Momo sits next to Shoto, patting him on the back. Shoto eventually swallows his urge to barf as not to embarrass himself.

Shoto: *Gulp* Dates are more difficult than I had imagined...

Momo: If you want, we could go back to the dorms so you could rest?

Shoto: I-It's fine, really — I don't want this date to end. I'm having fun, Momo.

Momo: *Blush* E-Eh? E-Even if you say that, you still look very sick. Maybe we should take a breather for the time being.

Shoto: I have an idea. Why don't we go there?

Shoto points towards a direction of another ride. Momo looks to it, and immediately blushes further as she realizes as to what Shoto was pointing to.

Momo: Y-You... want to go to the Tunnel of Love...?

Shoto: Well, yes. It's a slow-moving ride, so I won't get any more sick, and we can still continue on our date before stopping.

Momo: *Blush* But... Shoto — You do realize what people do in that ride, correct?

Shoto: Of course I do. We're on a date anyways, so I don't really see the problem.

Momo: (H-He's so forward...!) *Gulp* Well... if you really want to go, then I guess we can...

Shoto sweetly smiles at Momo, and the two of them walk towards the queue. The line was full of young couples, similar to Momo and Shoto. The couples in the line weren't shy to publicly display their affection towards one another, holding hands, hugging, and even kissing.

Momo begins overthinking what exactly Shoto intends to do with her once the two enter the ride. The tunnel was completely dark inside, and nobody would be able to intercede because the rides would go at long intervals before the next boat sailed. The only sound that would be heard is the rushing water, and the soft, intimate music playing inside of the tunnel.

Momo swallows her nervousness and decides to be blunt with Shoto, and just ask him directly.

Momo: U-Umm, Shoto? What exactly are you going to do with me once we're inside?

Shoto immediately goes red, causing Momo to panic inside. Shoto audibly gulps and awkwardly looks back towards Momo.

Shoto: W-Well... It's embarrassing to say out loud, considering...

Momo: (C-Considering *what*?!)

Shoto: I'll just tell you inside, okay? I've been thinking about this for quite a while, but if you feel uncomfortable while we're doing it, just say the word, and I'll stop.

The abrupt comment only leaves Momo flustered. There's no possible way Shoto meant that the way he conveyed it, right? Momo's panic only increases as the queue for the ride gets shorter.
