[ ooc: because of childhood abuse and his criminal lifestyle, he's wary of touch so let's find him that one person who's willing to take it slow. There's really only a few people in his life he'd allow to be so familiar with him. ]

[ooc: Probably the student, although she could definitely do some teaching when it comes to what she likes.]

( depends on who she's with but prob teacher? a lil more experienced, and willing to teach what she likes. )

((Likely the one doing the teaching, but I'm open to either role!))

[Teaching, most definitely]

[Most likely the student. Too much of a workaholic to engage in sex regularly.]

[He can be flirtatious, but he's honestly super-inexperienced when it comes to any kind of physical affection-- not just sex, but little stuff like kissing or cuddling. He also gets flustered sometimes when someone legitimately returns his flirting, because he has no clue where to go from there.

Be nice to him. :'D (He comes in cis or trans, aka man-with-vagina-- please specify which you're comfortable with~)]

[After all of the things that the members of the 77th class of Hope's Peak Academy have gone through, this one is perhaps the most nerve-wrecking for the former princess of Novoselic. As a known Remnant of Despair in a currently unknown location with fifteen others in the same predicament, Sonia Nevermind isn't at all worried. Which should scare her.

Everything she's known is gone, but not quite. She has her health, her mind and her friends. Her safety is fairly assured with Hinata Hajime to lead them, a burden she is surprisingly happy to leave at his feet and share if need be.

This is a time she needs to leave it at his feet. Along with finding someone to watch a particular member of their group so that she and he can be alone. On a large ship such as the one they received from the Future Foundation, it shouldn't be difficult, but she will never underestimate Souda again. Not after they all regained their memories and he appeared to not care that she preferred another. But with the help of a few others, he should be preoccupied so that Sonia might be able to spend some time alone with Tanaka Gundam finally.

Just thinking his name is enough to make her heart race, but she needs to keep her head so that this night goes well. Since the rest of the class woke up on Jabberwock Island and the "survivors" of the Neo World Program banded together to help wake the comatose members and to help them all regain their memories of the last four years, the princess and the breeder have been spending more and more time together, talking and enjoying the closeness that they've managed to regain. Tonight, if her plans go accordingly, they might get closer.

But she knows that she must be careful as well. Tanaka is prickly at times and even she must slightly translate his unique way of speaking so that she can understand what he's saying. However, she's fairly certain that he knows that she'd like for him to meet her here, alone.

Hopefully.

When the door opens, she clasps her hands in front of her and waits, silently, for him to enter.]

[Honestly, it would be difficult for even someone as verbose as the Supreme Overlord of Ice, Tanaka Gundam to explain his feelings about recent events. From the events on the island to the boat trip, to the confrontation where he unsealed his true name, to regaining their lost classmate, to the tentative peace that exists on their floating home, it's a case of everything happening so fast, it's hard to really digest all of it. Perhaps he could liken it to merely being a pawn in fate's grand design, but that's hardly a fitting role for him. No, if asked, it's more that a great wrong has been righted, and due to the shifting of the cosmic balances, the fallout happened faster than anyone could have imagined. Or something like that.

However, he senses that once again he stands at the precipice of Armageddon or...something to that effect anyway. So when he enters the room, he's a little on guard, though it's more a defense against his own worries and insecurities than anything else. They may all be closer now than they were, but he is still Tanaka Gundam, a cursed existence with a dark name that is not called upon often. Let alone called to the room of the Dark Queen herself.]

I have been summoned and so I, Tanaka Gundam, appear!

[..which is obvious, but you know, it helps put him at ease if he acts like the ridiculous edgelord everyone knows and loves/fears/puts up with/all of the above.]

[When he arrives and makes his grand announcement, she can do nothing but smile and let her hands fall from under her chin to rest before her legs.]

Thank you for arriving so promptly, Tanaka-san. I hope that I've not been too impertinent by asking you to come here this evening.

[She waves a hand to the table of food that she's assembled from Hanamura through the help of Pekoyama and Mioda.]

I know that the others are at dinner, but I thought that we could dine here and talk some. If you'd like.

Impertinent? Perhaps, to the uninitiated. Who would dare summon a demon bound in corporeal form such as myself and invite such a being to...

[Whatever nonsense he was going on about comes to a quick halt as he sort of catches up with the rest of the conversation. He'll take a moment to just sort of stand there awkwardly while his brain attempts to formulate some sort of nonsense to account for the fact that he's pretty sure this what mortal beings would consider a date. And he, Tanaka Gundam, is not exactly adverse to such mundane concepts, especially not with one of only people that actually seems to accept his nonsensical command over both the seen and unseen worlds, it's just...unfamiliar. Even now, with the confidence that they can all move into the future, things like this? Well, he's far more comfortable atoning for the sins committed as a remnant than something like this.

So excuse him for looking off to the side, not because he's trying to look cool or anything like that, but because he thinks that if he tries to look Sonia in the eye and accept her invitation, he'll end up buried in his scarf never to be seen again.]

If you wish to spend your time with such a unfathomable existence, then who am I to say otherwise?

[If he had continued talking, Sonia would have been just fine. But when he seems to shy away from looking at her, she can feel her own face starting to change to a very unflattering shade of red. Everything about their status is unstated that she's not sure what he will accept or not.

After a few moments of her own thoughts trying to catch up and fill the awkward silence, she moves over to the table and stares at the food while gathering her courage once more.]

There is no one else that I would like to spend time with this evening, but I cannot make you stay if it isn't something you want.

[Despite everything that they all mean to one another, she knows that she can't force him to admit to anything he doesn't want to divulge.

No matter how much she'd like to hear it.

However, she's also not the type of girl to give up so easily, not when she knows exactly what and who she wants.]

If it would help, you can merely think of this as a dinner between friends free of interruptions.

[This is one of those times where he should actually try and figure out something to say rather than just spout out whatever nonsense comes to mind first. So give him a second and, he'll actually look at her, rather than stare over at the wall. What's said is quiet and calm and not entirely his usually boastful dramatic self because this is serious and not only is he treating it appropriately, but he doesn't feel confident enough to act otherwise.]

I would like to stay.

[Okay, now that's said it, he can try and be his usual self, so he'll just start laughing evilly. It's fine, everything's fine. In fact, he thinks he might have this more than he actually does.]

Yes, of course, I Gundam Tanaka shall stay to enjoy this demonic banquet prepared by the Dark Queen. Lesser beings may tremble at such an invitation, but for a being such as myself, this is the path I have chosen to tread!

[And he'll join her over by the table, so he doesn't just stand over here being a giant loser. Instead he can do that over there by her! That's much better.]

[At his simple declaration, she smiles. Like the sun appearing after days, weeks, of clouds and rain, even. Her cheeks are a flushed, healthy shade and she has to refrain from taking his hand within her own and causing him any sort of embarrassment. It's a delicate rope to walk, but she thinks she's up to the task.

If she can love someone so prickly as him and never falter, she can bring him to the realization that perhaps he might care for her as more than just another classmate.]

I'm glad to hear that you'll stay. Tonight, I have tofu curry and salad and tarts for dessert.

[All foods that adhere to his dietary concerns of not eating sentient animals. Of course, she does like food of all kinds, but for him she can make exceptions. Besides, it's all food she likes anyway. Not a hardship.

She finally takes her seat and waits for him to do so as well before relaxing just a bit more.]

We should arrive to Jabberwock island within the day, according to Hinata-san, so our confinement on this ship shall soon be a distant memory. However, I find that I've enjoyed our trip. Especially with the addition of Mitarai-san.

Yes, our long journey appears to be nearing its conclusion.

[He's pretty relieved about that. And takes a seat like a normal person. Just to specify since it's Gundam, you never know with this guy. He could just as easily sit as condemn the chair to an eternity in perdition for not revealing its true form.]

And yes, I too am glad to see him rejoin our group, even if his very existence was shrouded from my All Seeing Eye.

[It's like some crucial missing piece of their group has returned, even if they didn't know he was missing in the first place. Now if only they could return the other piece, but Gundam has no plans to reclass as a Necromancer anytime soon.

While he's pondering things, he surveys her hard work and yes, this will do nicely. He can tell it was carefully selected, and some serious work was put into preparing the meal, so how could he feel otherwise?]

I must confess as well, the journey has not been...unpleasant. Perhaps someday, when the universe compels me to wander the Earth once more, I may undertake another voyage such as this.

Considering what has happened, it's not at all surprising that we were unable to know that we were missing one of our number.

[Once they are both sitting, she pours them both something to drink. While he gets juice, she gets something a little stronger to boost her courage further. Since the world has fallen into despair, those outdated rules about how old they are to obtain alcohol have been forgot. Besides, they're all of age now.

But, honestly, she hasn't done much work at all. It is all the work of Hanamura and Pekoyama.]

Do you truly wish to travel the world when... Well, I hope that you don't go alone when you leave, Tanaka-san. Many of us would miss you dearly.

[After a healthy swig of the sweet wine, she pushes forward, albeit quietly.]

Myself especially.

[And yet if you ask him, he still thinks she deserves all the credit for putting this together.]

My days of traveling a lonely path are far behind me.

[He says this, trying to sound profound and then takes a sip of his juice and really just accomplishes making himself look like a dork trying to seem cool. And about the juice, thanks for that Sonia, he appreciates it. For all his talk of rituals and magic, he probably has little tolerance for such elixirs.]

And I would be ill-advised to not take some of my compatriots with me. Specifically one as versed in the unseen chaos as you.

[He won't be going anywhere soon that's for sure. There's too much of a mess to think about it, so it's really just wishful thinking on his part, but if that day does come...he'd ask her first. No doubt about it.]

[Considering that she pretty much thinks that he can do no wrong, even with their past deeds in mind, this mutual appreciation society could go on for a long time. However, she knows they won't always have all the time in the world to be alone.

Pekoyama can keep Souda away for only so long, after all.]

I would be glad to accompany you at any time you wish to begin traveling. However, tonight would not be advisable.

[She starts to nibble a little on her salad. She's sure that the food is delicious—Hanamura's cooking usually is—but she can't really taste it over the anxiety that has settled in her body. She wants very much for everything to go right tonight.

As she reaches for her glass of wine again, she looks up at him and cannot look away.]

You needn't be alone at all. If you wish.

I...

[Wait what?

Did he hear that right?

He's pretty sure he heard that right.

Uh...

Okay, Gundam, you've got this...be cool. Just think what would some of the others do...and then do the exact opposite because some of the others are Hanamura and to a somewhat lesser extent Souda..]

I..uh...

[There are attempts at words, not actual words, which is probably for the best. Otherwise, it'd just be random phrases and sound more like a PTA than an attempt to actually address what Sonia said.

And his hand is doing the most interesting thing of trying to pull his scarf over his face but he's too flustered to actually do it right so it's just sort of slipping and sliding, and you know who doesn't have this at all?

Gundam Tanaka, that's who.]

If...no...it would be...I...

[He closes his eyes and attempts to will words to manifest. Which they should, he Gundam Tanaka, commands far fiercer things than words, so their rebellious nature should be quelled or...something.

Anyways, it still takes a few tries, but he'll get a sentence out.]

I would...if that is also your wish.

[The huge knot that had taken up residence in her stomach lessens, but then she realizes that the onus of anything after this will be on her, as the more experienced and forward of the two. Not that she didn't know this before.

She takes another drink of wine before smiling softly despite the flush that might be the alcohol or her own embarrassment over the candlelight at him.]

I do wish for you to stay here tonight, Tanaka-san. [If she's gotten this far, perhaps she can go further.] I...enjoy our relationship in its current form, of course, but I am selfish and desire more from it.

[She looks away, cheeks definitely flushed as she tries to formulate what it she wishes to say to him.]

If you don't feel the same way, I won't... I cannot lie and say that I would not be hurt, but I will respect your feelings on the matter. However, if you are not...averse to what I'm proposing, I would like to be able to call you by your personal name.

[Oh no Sonia don't blush at him, it's hard enough for him to figure out what he's going to say as it is. Though it's okay, he's got this one. It doesn't take a lot of thought, he doesn't have to burrow into his scarf, there's no oracles to consult, no Devas to command, no this one's easy.]

You may.

[There, that wasn't so difficult. Except it sort of actually was. But it's okay, Sonia absolutely deserves permission to call him by his true copyright infringing name. If anything, such status is long overdue, so it's just making up for lost time. ]

[As if she could help the blood rushing to her face at being so close to him, at being so bold as to tell him the truth of her own feelings in plain words. But she does blush even more as she smiles and reaches over to take his hand on the table's top.

She looks less like a girl in love and more like a worshipper meeting the object of their adoration. Which might be half-true.]

Gundam-san...I... Thank you.

[And now that that is over, she looks down at their joined hands, staring at the way her pale fingers curl around his right hand and rest upon the silver rings he always wears. She's sure there is a story behind them, much like his scar and his Hellhound Earring. And she wants to hear all about them, all about him, but right now there are other things on her mind.

Like kissing him. All of her previous eloquence has fled in light of this nearly overwhelming desire.]

I would like...to hear you say what it is you want.

I...uh...

[You know how answering that last remark was easy? This is the opposite of that. He's actually blushing. Blushing! He, Gundam Tanaka, Scion of...something or other, blushing and stammering! This is unbecoming! And yet unavoidable because she is holding his hand and asking him things and he does not know how to deal with that. His magical skills may be high leveled indeed, but that high leveled!]

I...

[In some ways, Monokuma's killing game was easier than this. Which is a horrible thought to have but he can't entirely push it away. There he didn't have to confront things like this and deal with how woefully unprepared he is for such a statement.

However, he did not enjoy dealing with that in the slightest and perhaps someday if he could work through trying not to die of embarrassment, he might learn to enjoy this.]

I would like to stay here. With you.

[He is admittedly not sure if he's supposed to say more or less but things have been said and they cannot be unsaid now.]
