[He'd always been one to not let his sickness define him, let alone take over his life. To him, it was something temporary, and his will to play soccer and experience life like everyone else would triumph.
And nothing gave proof of that more than right now. His desire to get out into the world and play soccer with Tenma, to see Itsuki again, they were all stepping stones to conquering his own physical limitations.
The sky was the limit with him, and that was where the sun belonged.]
I agree. Your dedication alone is enough to warrant respect, the way I see it.
But--
[Another wink to Potpourri. This next line's going to be a good one.]
Boys or girls uniform, you're very cute, Itsuki-san. The sun just glistens off you.
[ ... Are boys normally this forward?? Their future student council president had blurted out his desires when he thought she wasn't listening once, but she'd never caught him actually trying to flirt with anyone. Her own brother might say things like this, but that was her brother, and as Yuri had said once, all older siblings doted on their younger ones to a certain extent-- even Momoka.
If Taiyou keeps talking like this, it's going to be very difficult to keep her composure; indeed, Itsuki is already pressing a palm over her face. He doesn't seem like the type, but... ]
[Most boys have a filter--but Taiyou, someone who's always been so confident in who he is, how he feels, and what he wants to do, never saw the point in masking what you want to say. He had tact, of course, it's not like he went out shouting to the world what he thought without a filter, but when it came to expressing things that he felt were obvious...positive ones, he never held back.
From the looks of it, Itsuki wasn't one who really got comments on her appearance as upfront as his. It made it feel a little special, in some ways.
A smile spreads further, blue eyes calm and collected, and his voice mellowing to match.]
I'm not teasing. You have a glow about you that makes it impossible to resist gravitating towards. Whether you're in a boys uniform or a girl's uniform, that radiance still beams like the sun.
[He closes his eyes, nodding sagely.]
It's why I'm here. And it's why you have such good friends like Potpourri and the two girls I just met.
[ Potpourri nods sagely (for once), because as far as she's concerned, Taiyou is absolutely right. Itsuki had a certain warmth and brightness to her that drew people in, and kept them there when they learned that the warmth they'd seen wasn't just for show.
But very few people have ever told her that, in such glowing terms, and Itsuki is already doing her best to stay firm on the subject here. She can't let him throw her too far off-guard. ]
... Thank you, but a lot of that was due to them. And you have a radiant sort of charisma yourself, Taiyou.
[ ... This boy is ridiculous. And even as Itsuki blinks at him, completely startled by just how easily affectionate and playful he is (despite knowing Erika), a laugh escapes. ]
[His mood settles into a more carefree, casual tone, letting their feet guide them along the sidewalk, their arms being the only link between them, but with no pull on either side.]
It might not be very big, and no one might notice, but it'd be worth it if it made someone smile.
[ Does she have any idea where they're going yet? Honestly, no. A lot of this remains new and unknown, which is something Itsuki knows Erika would be thrilled about and she's still mildly curious herself. Until then, she can simply enjoy this walk with him for what it is (or what she thinks it is). ]
... You've already made someone smile, though. I think you're doing very well already.
[Don't worry Itsuki, he knows exactly where he's going, and if she happens to need a hint in the direction, he'll tug her gently to let her know when there's a turn. It's not too far to the riverbank...but he may be going a bit slower to enjoy their leisurely pace.]
[That's more what he likes to see--a playful banter back from her that he knew she kept tucked inside her. Itsuki may be acting in place of her ailed brother, but he could see the bits of sunshine that wanted to peek out from behind the cloud she'd fit over herself.]
That bright and shining smile just for me?
[He slowly steers her to take a right at this next crosswalk, looking around for the little fairy that had seemed to have disappeared for just a moment. She was tiny--maybe she was just hiding from passerby.]
[ Sure enough, Itsuki's finally got it into her head to hide in her bag when there are other people around. Which doesn't mean that Potpourri isn't poking her head out at nearly regular intervals, but if Taiyou spots her during one of those times, the fairy will beam at her. ]
I think she might be too young for you.
[ All she needs, Taiyou seducing her tiny baby fairy into having a crush. ]
[His face turns panic-stricken for just moment, as if unable to comprehend why no one had made a move on Itsuki before this, whether they saw her male or female.]

[ Which she's sure he knows. ]
no subject
[He smiles, blue eyes cutting through her rebuttal.]
Tell me, Itsuki-san. What attracts bees to flowers? Whatever it is--colour or pollen or scent, its something the flower had from the start.
[His arm reaches over to hook hers confidently, leaning in to rest his chin on her shoulder.]
Buzz, Buzzzzz~...
[...and then bursting into a fit of laughter.]
no subject
Has anyone told you that you're unusual?
no subject
All the time.
[Although, he couldn't sound more proud of that if he tried.]
'Unusual' is more exciting, though, don't you think? No one ever changed the world by being 'usual'.
no subject
[ In the wake of their laughter, Itsuki completely relaxes, letting him stay connected to her. ]
Is that what you'd like to do? Change the world?
[ Because that's kind of a process and half the time Itsuki isn't sure what she's doing anyway. ]

And who might that be? Maybe....Potpourri?
[A little tease, smiling right back at her.]
no subject
[ And a giggle from her fairy companion, of course, as Itsuki's smile also takes on a hint of something teasing. ]

A girl after my own heart...

[ All she needs, Taiyou seducing her tiny baby fairy into having a crush. ]
no subject
[An apologetic smile follows, catching the moment the little fairy pokes her head out and boops her 'nose' with a finger.]
...Oh well! I'll just have to set my sights on someone a little older, then.
[Wink at Potpourri, and a casual, nonchalant glance at Itsuki to see her reaction.
Will she catch on?]
no subject
Someone in your year, then?
no subject
Mmm...
[A thoughtful hum, eyes drifting upward once more.]
Maybe...but I was thinking of maybe finding someone just a bit older. A year, maybe.
That's more exciting, don't you think?
no subject
[ There's no real judgment in it, just a slight sense of amusement. ]
I've never thought about trying to pursue someone older... or, well... anyone. But I guess there would be a challenge in that, if you tried.
no subject
[But his eyes flick a shade brighter--maybe there's his opening.]
Have you considered someone younger, then?
no subject
[ So. Good luck, Taiyou. ]
no subject
[His face turns panic-stricken for just moment, as if unable to comprehend why no one had made a move on Itsuki before this, whether they saw her male or female.]

He shakes it of, smile right back where it should be.]
Well, that takes away most competition for the lucky boy then, doesn't it?
no subject
no subject
Really?
Is it just because of the Gakuran?
[Which he can see in some ways.] It never occurred to me once.
