slices of cake, not pieces of pie (closed, for avoidstrangerdanger)
Hijiri made it a habit to check out any cafe that popped up in town. Priority went to cafes that also served cakes. Pastries were fine, but Hijiri preferred cakes. Maybe it came from a childhood of fancy dinners with entire tables covered in tiny single serving cakes.
Or maybe he just liked sweets.
But he was here on a mission. A Mission, even. He'd ordered so much cake, everything from sachertorte to strawberry shortcake to cheesecake to tiramisu, that there was barely enough space on the table for drinks. Hijiri had a latte with some kind of flower etched in the foam; he had gotten Assam tea for his date. He hadn't touched his drink, so if his date preferred coffee, they could just switch.
Hijiri glanced at the clock on the cafe wall. "He's late."
Tumblr media
Yes, Hijiri was on a Mission to make März von Ludowing gain about ten more pounds, because jeeesus, the poor kid was skinny and Hijiri would not stand for it.

[text]: Your dad put me in the hospital.
[text]: And then he put your butler in the bed next to mine.
[text]: Anything Sumeragi-kun can do is a love tap in comparison.
[text]: Thanks for the concern. I really appreciate it.

What a familiar voice. Hijiri always denied it when anyone else brought it up, but yeah, Shinnosuke's voice sounded a lot like his. He couldn't forget it even if he wanted to, and boy, did he want to.
But he really hadn't expected that voice to interrupt his quick trip to the supermarket for some more cereal and cat food. He just wanted to keep his best friend and himself fed, and some dumb butler came and shoved what was obviously a gun right into his back. Why was it obviously a gun? Because Shinnosuke was holding it.
So, yeah, he really wasn't in the mood to accept Shinnosuke's apology.
Tumblr media
So Hijiri turned around with his best smirk, the smirk that always made Shinnosuke's trigger finger extra itchy and said, "That is a really obvious lie, Shinnosuke-kun."
event; open
Tumblr media
Pressing up a gun at the stranger, Shinnosuke kept a stern expression on his face as he pressing the nuzzle of the gun against the stranger’s back. Shinnosuke was only strolling around the plaza with the reason of possibly taking his milady here until he turned around the corner, and for some reason he felt extremely high on alert today. Until the man snapped out of it and quickly moved his gun back to his pocket, realizing that this person was a stranger.
"I apologize! I was… erm…."
Tumblr media
Good job Shinnosuke, pointing a gun at a random stranger aren’t you?

"Sure, sure, I can do that." He laughed, perfectly relaxed, cat in the crook of one arm. "But it's gonna take a while. It's slower going when I only have one free hand." But while Hijiri was a city boy, he was a city boy that liked long walks on the beach and rescuing his cat from trees. He had also spent a large chunk of his childhood racing up trees thanks to a certain butler, but that was neither here nor there. (The butler was definitely not here.)
Except for a brief scare where he couldn't quite reach another branch and had to do a controlled drop, which terrified Ochazuke enough that he dug his claws right into Hijiri's arm, but overall, it was safe going. Hijiri felt a bit bad though; he could feel Ochazuke's heart hammering and could guess that Christa has been pretty scared too. Really, what a sweet lady.
Tumblr media
But Hijiri eventually got both feet on solid ground again and gave Ochazuke a little kiss on his nose. Then he turned to Christa. "See, safe and sound."

          She watches him as he nimbly ascends the tree, her red eyes glued onto him; she is fretting that if she looks away for one second then he may fall. She wouldn’t know what to do if he did, and from such a height even! The albino women drew in a sharp breath as Hijiri was near his friend. She breathed a shaky sigh of relief, but not all of her anxiety washed away entirely. She approaches the trunk just a bit, getting closer, as her head looks directly upward and the height, from down below is so off putting but she can’t help but watch.
        “I’m glad he’s safe!!” She calls, managing a bit of a smile, though she curious to know why he asks that question, “You didn’t…!” She pauses for a second, then contemplates of what to ask, ” —Ah…my name is Christa…! But I insist if we’re going to talk, I would prefer to do it down here! When you’re both safe and sound…!!!”

"Haha, you figured me out."
Tumblr media
Hijiri kicked at the grass; luck wasn't on his side because that didn't miraculously lead him to finding his sandal. "I panicked real bad when I saw Ochazuke up there in that tree and just kicked my sandals off. Guess one of 'em snuck away."
He ran both hands through his hair. Repeatedly. By the time he stopped, his hair was a puffy mess. "The train back home has a no-shirt, no-shoes policy, so I'll be stuck here if I don't find that sandal."
He trudged back over to the girl and gently tapped Ochazuke on the chin with a finger. "How do you feel about roughing it?"
Ochazuke meowed.

"Woah!"
For a few seconds, Hijiri desperately juggled the freezie that'd fallen from his mouth when something ran into his back. But his efforts came to naught as it fell on the ground.
Tumblr media
Hijiri turned around to look at who bumped into him. A cute girl with a bag of konpeito.
"Don't worry about it. No biggie. Do you think the three second rule applies in cases like these?"
He stooped down to pick up his fallen freezie.
ஐ We are time’s subjects, and time bids be gone.

Ochazuke meowed, delighted at the attention, while Hijiri fetched the sandals he'd kicked off when this little adventure had started. He found one at the base of the tree, and the other one...
He couldn't find the other one. Whoops.
"Yep, me too. I was kidding too."
Tumblr media
He brushed aside the grass near the tree with his foot. Nope, no sandal.
"So, what's a cutie like you doing all the way out here? Do you live here? Or are you visiting with your family?"

Hijiri laughed at the skeptical look on Akira's face.
Tumblr media
"The type who doesn't believe in fate, huh? Well, it's true that you can't just wait for destiny to drop the girl of your dreams into your lap." He reached down and scooped up Ochazuke in the hand that wasn't holding his sandals.
"Now, we can head to a cafe that'll let me bring Ochazuke in and have a fine time, the three of us..." Hijiri gave his widest, most childish grin. "Or we can head to a cafe where we'll have to sneak him in and slip him food under the table. Which do you prefer?"

Hijiri sat on tree's lowest branch, Ochazuke in his lap.
Tumblr media
"You know, I get the feeling that as long as Ochazuke made it to the ground, you wouldn't even care what happened to me," he said, very seriously. Then he laughed because yeah, Ochazuke was cute; he could totally understand this girl being taken with him.
He jumped the rest of the way out of the tree and held Ochazuke out to her. "Here, since you're such a big fan, hold him so I can get my sandals. I'm seriously afraid that he'll climb into another tree if I take my eyes off him."

Oh, was that a stutter? Cute. Though... yeah, it was kinda weird to think of someone who seemed so elegant as cute. Is this what they called gap moe? Such where the thoughts in Hijiri's head.
Tumblr media
"Roger that. No take-backs, okay?" Hijiri called back the ground with a confident smirk. Of course, he was joking. Persistent as he was, he'd never force someone to go out with him if they didn't want to; that would be rude.
With that settled, Hijiri went back to climbing. Before long, he managed to pull himself on the branch Ochazuke was clinging to. "I got you," he said, gathering his friend up. "That nice lady down there's worried about us." Ochazuke meowed.
"He's good," he shouted down to their audience, "uh, I didn't get your name, did I?"

         The older woman breathed a light sigh from her chapped lips while a few beads of sweat rolled down from her forehead. Christa always was overly anxious when it came to situations similar to this one. It reminded her of the one time her brother nearly broke his neck when climbing way too high; it still causes her stomach to churn to this day.
         She fell silent, with expression still contorted with concern for the young man. Even still…there was always the high risk of falling regardless of how many experience someone had thus caused for her to worry more.
        His change of subject momentarily bemused Christa, because she hadn’t expected for him to take her out somewhere.
Tumblr media
          “O…Of course,” She replied wearily, a flicker of a smile appeared only to wash away; a tiny frown took its place, “…Please come down safely with him, then we can discuss…going out somewhere..!”

[text]: Wow, this "Hijiri-san" sure sounds like a real piece of work.
[text]: But just 'cause our names are the same, doesn't mean we are.
[text]: I would never say anything mean to Sumeragi.

Hijri made his way back to the ground, set Ochazuke down and picked up his sandals while he was bent over.
"Hey, don't be like that. I'm asking you out for coffee because I don't know you. It must be some kinda fate that you came along when I was rescuing Ochazuke." Ochazuke meowed and trotted after Hijiri as he made his way to the girl he hoped he'd get to drink coffee with soon.
Tumblr media
"I'm Hijiri Mutsuki, and I'd hate to wake up one morning, five, ten years from now and think, 'Wow, I should've asked that cutie with the bob cut and the sharp eyes out for coffee when I had the chance.'"
He gave her a pat on the shoulder. "So I'll get the three of us something to eat and drink. And then maybe some karaoke after that. People tell me I've got a great singing voice."

Nah, Hijri was fine. Compared to the time Ochazuke got stuck up in the tree in the school courtyard and Hijiri had to rescue him while his schoolmates took pictures and recorded videos, a sweet voice telling him to be careful was welcome encouragement.
He paused on his way to rescue Ochazuke to give the rather elegant lady on the ground a grin.
Tumblr media
"Thanks, Miss, but I do this kinda stuff all the time. But if you're still worried, feel free to stay and watch." He paused. And then, like the idea had just suddenly come to him...
"Actually, when I get my friend out of this tree, why don't I take you out somewhere to thank you?"
Ochazuke meowed. "Whoops, but this guy comes first."

         Worry cast over her when she happened to see Hijiri climbing; she ambled along, not too far from the tree now. Cupping her hands around her mouth as it were a megaphone, she called out to the other while he ascended. She squinted a bit, spotting a small figure in one of the branches. Oh dear..        “Pl…please watch your step!” She called, but then winced— she might have just caused for him to lose concentration with his footing.
