[ Hana tosses another quick glance behind her over her shoulder at grandmother at what Shiro says, but by the time she does, the elderly woman is already feigning a dainty coughing fit and waving her off before she slides the door to her room shut.

Crafty woman.

When she looks back, though, she can't help her own smile upon realizing that Shiro's up and pulling her in and when he leans down she thinks he's definitely going in for a kiss on the lips but he-- doesn't. She knows why, and she sighs. But that's not to say she can't take things into her own hands and bring herself up on the tips of her toes to give Shiro a peck on the lips. ]

I guess this is gonna be my birthday date, huh? [ Since she knows that by this time next week Shiro will probably be gone. ]

[The quick peck makes him smile - and he can't help that he pulls his lip in afterward to taste her on his mouth. His arms stay around her, the black sleeves of his own outfit a start contrast to the colors of hers where the fabric overlays each other.]

I guess so. I'm glad. I was going to leave your gift here with my parents so they could make sure you got it on the right day. [Smiling, gentle, he touches the bunny hair clip and then the spring of flowers that fall down before tracing the curve of her cheek with his fingertips.] You look beautiful, Hana.

[ She watches the trail of his fingers on her hair and then on her skin and smiles. Shiro has always been so gentle with her and she doesn't know that she's received that kind of touch from anyone she'd been with before. As highly as she thinks of herself, it still surprises a warm, giddy feeling in her to think about how highly he must think of her to treat her the way that he does.

-- she's pretty sure she's in love with him.

Though her smile goes a little crooked in her reply. ]

Well, you can blame that one on your grandmother, too. I showed up here right after a mission because she sounded upset and then as soon as I got in she was like, "How'd you like to try this on, Hana-chan? Why don't you take your clothes off!"

[ Still, she shakes her head, chuckling before she winks at him. ] But you look really good too, Shiro.

[There's the slightest hitch as the 'why don't you take your clothes off' and a part of him says the appropriate response is to say 'that's my job!'. Except its not. Appropriate. At all. And so he just hums to show he's still listening and forces his mind back to focus on what's really going on.

Which is that he has Hana in his arms and apparently all evening with her and he should really take advantage of that.]

Thanks. It's been a long time since I wore something like this. [He tips his head down until his forehead is against hers then and whispers:] I'm tempted to just stay here with you all night like this but I think my grandmother would set the house on fire if we try to deviate from her plan. [He steals a quick kiss.] Would you like to go to hanami with me, Hana?

[ His closeness and his kiss are both welcomed soundly, and the smile on her face can't seem to go away (not that she wants it to) and she dutifully closes her eyes when they kiss; she doesn't mind at all that she's already going to have to reapply her lip gloss. Her eyes flutter open at the question and she nods-- but lightly to keep their heads from bumping. ]

I thought you'd never ask, Takashi. I bet your grandmother can't wait to get us out of here so she can "be sick" in peace!

[ The quotes are practically audible in the way she says that, and certainly enough that grandmother should be able to hear in her room. Without hesitation, Hana pulls away from Shiro's grasp just enough to grab one of his hands to get going. ]

Come on!

[There are worse things than ending up wearing your girlfriend's lip gloss, Shiro thinks and there's laughter in his exhale as she pulls away to catch at his hand.

She's right about his grandmother. Maybe that shouldn't make him as happy as it does but - he loves the fact Hana and his grandmother know each other that well.

His parents are standing at the door and his mother is holding a little tied furoshiki handbag for Hana that matches the fabric of her dress.

His family really did plot out everything and - it matters to him. Because it means they've been thinking of Hana and how to make tonight perfect for her for a long time. The look he gives his parents over her head says, he hopes, exactly what that means to him and their smiles answer.

And then they're out the door and down the steps and he holds the gate open for her before slipping his arm around her again. They don't live far from a park that celebrates hanami and he's sure the lanterns will already be lit. It's not a far walk and his steps shift to match hers.]

I still plan on calling you on the right day. But - I'm glad I could celebrate your birthday with you tonight.

[ She notices the way he's keeping pace with her and she appreciates it, really, because she's not entirely used to walking in a yukata; it's quite different from walking in a hanbok but much like any challenge posed to D.Va, Hana is going to own it before long. She makes sure the little bag that Shiro's mother handed her is resting securely in the crook of her arm and she still hasn't stopped smiling. Because--

It's been a long time since anyone-- much less three people-- have really thought of and planned something for her birthday. Hana had been far too new and far too guarded from the same people she now considers her family from Overwatch last year and as fun as going out to party with friends to celebrate it had been for the past few years of her life, she doesn't mind this kind of celebrating, either. It certainly feels more special. ]

I'll be waiting for it! [ so he'd better not let him down. Not that she thinks he would. ] Kinda sucks that I'll be on a mission but what can you do?

Let's make the most of tonight!

[Shiro's grown up walking next to his grandmother and even when she's not in anything but a house dress she still takes the small, delicate steps that all those years in a kimono taught her. The yukata isn't quite as restrictive as a full kimono but he's still aware that it requires some difference in walking and he doesn't mind at all if it slows their stroll down a little. It give him just another reason to have his arm around Hana and his head bent a little to listen to her as she talks.

His grandmother is going to have so many polite visits from the neighbors tomorrow.

Especially when he dips his head for another quick kiss. It's almost impossible to resist when she's so happy and glowing and her hair is piled up away from her throat.]

You can count on it. [Even if he has to call her from the middle of battle. Though he's hoping not. He doesn't answer her question though. What can they do? This is who they are. All they can do is seize the moments like this one and do exactly what she says. Make the most of them.] Have you eaten yet? They'll have all kinds of food.

[ They're already stealing glances from other people making their way over to the festival-- and they definitely have the passersby at full attention when Shiro kisses her. But Hana doesn't mind. She's never cared much for what people say about her and rumors about who she's seeing are in that same vein-- she knows people have been talking about her and Shiro ever since the gala and, at this point, there's really no use in hiding it. If anyone with authority over her turns out to have a problem with the kind of attention this gets her, she'll fight that battle.

Because like hell are rumors and scandals going to stop her from having this night with Shiro.

She hums a quiet laugh. ]

Not yet! I can't wait to chow down. [ Then teasingly, ] Though that probably means you have to stop kissing me every five steps we take.

[Shiro was always raised to be much more circumspect with shows of affection. While his mother and father were more open about it than his grandparents and his youngest years had been full of hugs and snuggles and lap sitting while the adults did their work, by the time he'd been in primary school those had all but stopped. He was considered too old by that point and he'd understood and accepted that. Public displays of affection were nothing more scandalous than the fact his parents still held hands when they went somewhere together. So the way he was acting now, with Hana, in his own neighborhood no less, he knew would trickle through every single house and apartment and shop in a pretty wide radius.

He didn't mind at all.

So he gave her a little squeeze at her teasing with his arm, gentle, but kept it around her and grinned down at her.]

That's a lot to ask of me, Hana Song. Especially when we both know how much better I look when I'm wearing your lip gloss.

[ He gets a quirked brow for that, and the way her lips curl in a smirk only says one thing and it's challenge accepted. ]

Oh, yeah? Actually, you could use a bit more.

[ Has it even been five steps since she'd brought that up? Doesn't matter. She's bringing herself up to press another kiss to his lips again. By this point he might as well be wearing all of the gloss. ]

There you go!

[He sees the gleam in her eyes and doesn't mind it one bit. Especially when she pushes her up into him and kisses him. He wraps both arms around her and pulls her up and into him, returning the kiss whole-heartedly.

He's leaving by morning. She's going back into battle.

Damn right he's going to steal every tick, and every kiss, that he can now.]

Better.

[He runs his tongue over his lips after she's pulled back, tastes the cherry and the underlying taste of her. And realizes - it's... going to be very hard behaving himself tonight. So he smiles crooked down at her and settles her back on her feet, letting go so only one arm is around her.]

Now I think I'm ready for a viewing. [He gets them walking again. Because he needs to. Or they're never going to make it three blocks when he knows so many empty doorways with perfect shadows.] I'm willing to bet almost anything that my mom has a fresh jar of your lip gloss in that bag she gave you.

[ Oh, but when he pulls her in close like that, nothing much more than the fabric of their yukatas between the two of them--

Hana isn't so sure she's going to behave herself.

Especially because he's leaving by morning and she's going back into battle.

At his prompting, she moves her hands to dig into the bag, and-- lo and behold, she produces new lip gloss. The same kind that Hana usually wears out, even. The Shiroganes definitely don't do anything half-assed, she's realized. And just to confirm it all, she opens it, pulling the wand out of the jar and applying the product to her lips carefully even as they're walking. ]

Wow, she nailed it. I've been needing a new one, too! I gotta thank her when we get back.

[ But that's later, much later, she hopes. Now it looks like they might finally get to the festival rather than make another stop. ]

So, what's the plan, Mr. Black Paladin? Grab as much food as we can and then sit somewhere to see the flowers? While eating lots of yummy food?

[ Note the emphasis on food. This is definitely a Hana Song plan. ]

[His family shows their love by paying attention and he expected nothing less than exactly what Hana usually wore if his mother was involved. When he don't say 'I love you' much, you make it a point to show it. That lip gloss is a message without words. Shiro's pretty sure, whether she realizes it with the front of her thoughts or not, Hana's realizing it with her heart.

She also somehow manages to make applying lip gloss look incredibly sensual.

So it's a good thing they're still walking and she's shifting the conversation to food. Because that makes it easy to grin down at her and chuckle.

Yes. He's noticed there is a definite pattern in Hana's plan.]

Lots of yummy food. Somewhere nice to sit so we can watch the blossoms and the lanterns come up. Sounds good to me. Have you ever been to a blossom viewing before?

[ She smiles contentedly at the confirmation that, yes, there will be lots of yummy food, and she carefully deposits the jar of lip gloss back into the bag before she reaches up with an arm to slip around his-- well, hips, really, given the difference in their heights-- reciprocating his gesture.

His question garners a fond, nostalgic look on her face. ]

Not to one in Japan. But there's a huge, huge cherry blossom festival at home called the Jinhae Gunhangje. I didn't really go as a kid but-- it's a big military festival, too, so I've had to go the last couple of years to make an appearance. [ She chuckles. ] I gotta go this year too.

It's super pretty. The cherry blossoms there go along this railroad track on both sides, but there's this other part along a little stream and you stand on the sides on bridges, and a lot of the time they hang things across the stream! Like one year they did umbrellas.

[ A beat, then, ] Maybe next year we can go together.

[ Because there will be a next year for them, and she's sure of it. ]

[He's glad of the distraction. Because it helps him get his mind back on the right track -

and because he enjoys hearing about Hana's life, all the parts of it, even the little things. He likes watching this memory on her face and his arm gives her a gentle squeeze before he dips his head to -

well, he almost presses a kiss to the top of her head. And then remembers that he's got lip gloss on and reaches up with his free hand to wipe it away before dipping his head to drop the original kiss into her hair.]

You'll have to give me more later. [He murmurs against her, to apologize for wiping off her lip gloss.] Next year sounds good. Make sure you find out the date so I can put it on my calendar.

[Ahead the park comes into view and he pauses them, rests his jaw against the side of her hair, careful not to mess it up. His voice goes low and rumbling.]

Stop a tick. Just - look. Before we even get there, before the noise comes. Nothing but long dark buildings with their dark slanted roofs and nothing but cherry blossoms and lanterns at the end. I haven't seen this since I was a child.

heavy rain--
in the cherry blossom shade
I stayed too long

[ Lips curl into a smirk at his words, and on the tip of her tongue there's a rebellious suggestion about leaving gloss elsewhere than his lips but--

Then they stop walking, and the words are forgotten when she looks ahead and sees the pale pink blossoms gracing the branches of the trees all over, delicately swaying in the light breeze of the early evening. Her eyes are bright and filled with the sight.

But she'll laugh at Shiro's spontaneous poetry. If she had to hazard a guess, she'd say it must be something his grandfather wrote. Still-- ]

Cheese master Shiro! What's that supposed to mean?

[Her teasing has him chuckling and he hums a content sound against her.]

Any good poem lets you decide it means whatever you think it means. Most people think Issa was saying that lingering too long on something beautiful or leisurely can mean that the things you should have seen coming and prepared for can catch you off guard. [Shiro shrugged and smiled.] But I happen to like rainstorms so...

Maybe you'll like this one better.

mountain cherry blossoms--
hair decoration
for a bald man

Edited 2016-11-28 04:53 (UTC)

[ Hana's expression turns into one not unlike someone who just had an "Aha!" moment, and she snaps her fingers. ]

Ah, so it wasn't your grandfather's!

[ She's not the most literary-inclined person out there. She's picked up the book of Altean poetry that Shiro (and Allura) gave her to some avail as to whether she really understands what's going on, but she at least appreciates it on some, which is why she still giggles at the second poem. ]

Are you gonna be the bald man in that one, Shiro?

[He rumbles amusement but - it warms him too, to realize that Hana's aware of how highly his family, and him, value his grandfather's poems.]

Issa was a bit before my grandfather's time. I'll make it up to you and tell you some of my grandfather's poems once we're under the trees and have our food. That's a family tradition too. [Then he leans down and nuzzles the tip of her nose with his own, grinning, teasing right back.]

I already hardly have any hair, Hana. Will you still date me if I lose the rest of it and can only wear flowers?

[ She pretends to have to think about the answer to that one for a few seconds, humming thoughtfully--

but then she answers by bringing a hand up to cup his cheek and pull him into another kiss on the lips. ]

Yeah, I think I could work with that. I'll make you a flower crown!

[He leans down happily to get his kiss, other arm slipping around her so he can pull her close in against him again.

He really is going to need to get them to the park quickly or they're never going to get there at all.]

I would rock a flower crown. [He can't help stealing another quick kiss but then he moves, lets of of her with his other arm and starts them walking again.] Black might want one too though. We'd need a lot of flowers.

[ She smiles triumphantly against their kiss, and it keeps on even after they've pulled away. But-- she obliges when he gets them moving again because she, too, gets the distinct feeling that if they don't move now they're never going to make it to the park.

(Although she isn't sure that grandmother would consider that a bad thing.)

She lets out another laugh at the mental image of Shiro and Black with matching flower crowns, and nods. ]

What if the Lions could shrink into a regular cat size when you guys don't have to pilot them? Wouldn't that be so cute? Then we could definitely make Black a flower crown.

[The mental image of Black cat sized had him chuckling. It would certainly make it easier to get the lion in and out of places. Like a park full of cherry blossoms. His rational mind told him that shrinking Black's size would increase the mass most likely though and - wow. That would be a very heavy cat.

Which didn't mean the lion would look any less cute in miniature with a flower crown.]

I think if Black could shrink down I wouldn't get to go anywhere without him. Not that that's a complaint. [His arm slipped away from her but his hand slipped down to find hers as they got closer to the park and the cheerful noise of people enjoying themselves started to spill out. He raised her held hand to his lips and brushed a kiss over her knuckles and explained the change.]

You might need a little bit of room if you're planning on hitting every single one of the stands.

Nah, if he'd act anything like a real kitty he might accidentally get in the way of your alone time, hm?

[ If that sounds vaguely suggestive that's because it is and ever since Hana's become sure of both her own feelings and Shiro's, the hesitance to flirt has pretty much disappeared.

The smile on her face gets wider as they get closer to the festival, though, and her fingers curl easily around Shiro's. More than the sounds of laughter and people having fun-- she can smell all of the food from the stands. There's already a determined glint in her eyes even when Shiro's kissing her hand and she raises her free hand up, pumping her fist in the air. ]

Aw, yeah! I'm ready for Round One, let's go!

[ And here comes an attempt at breaking into a run while tugging Shiro along. While wearing a yukata. Which probably won't end well. ]
