Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part III

[bigdamnprincipal]

Yes, there were more tables and chairs here. No, they were not allowed to be used for making a bonfire. Eat something hot if you're still weirdly cold.

"Bender. That's an unusual name," he mused. "But what?"

She shrugged a little. "H-He wasn't v-very s-sincere," she tried to explain. "The w-words were n-nice but you c-could tell he d-didn't mean them."

"Try not to feel too bad about that," he explained carefully. "Some guys, we're just dense like that. I don't know him, don't even know if he's human, but speaking from guy experience? Sometimes were just idiots, Hinata."

"He w-was all m-metal," she said. "O-Or I m-might've followed R-Reno-san's a-advice and t-tried to kick him."

She so wouldn't've. No matter what.

"B-But h-he's d-decided t-that I've g-got to come to C-Caritas with h-him for a d-drink so I g-guess it'll be a-alright? T-Though I've n-never had a-anything like t-that before."

Okay, this Bender guy? Johnny was going to have to meet. "Hinata, he just met you and he want to take you to a bar?" And since she's never had a drink? "I think I should tag along."

Rather than being offended or anything, Hinata looked relieved.

"Oh, w-would you?" she asked brightening. "I d-didn't want to o-offend him but it's n-not really my s-sort of... a-activity."

"You bet," he said, glad that she liked the idea. "In fact, when the time comes, why don't I meet you at your room and we'll go together." Johnny didn't like the thought of Hinata giving in to something that she might not enjoy and going with her would ensure that she was treated right. He'd watch out for her. She spurred this protective gene in him and now he was seriously wanting to meet Bender.

"So he's metal, huh? Did you know I can melt metal?"

"I'd l-like that," she admitted. "T-Thank you, Johnny-san. A-And you t-told me a-about your f-fire, but I d-didn't know it c-could get that h-hot."

"You're welcome, Hinata," he replied, smiling at her. She was so cute, so damn shy. "Yeah, sweetheart, I get get pretty damn hot. Supernova. I've done it once, and only when my sister was able too shield me. Otherwise I could have caused tremendous damage, and that would be bad."

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

She nodded, no argument there. "And y-you were o-okay?"

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Little winded, but otherwise fine," he told her.

Glancing around a moment, he asked her, "Have you been mingling? Meeting anyone new?"

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"N-Not really?" she admitted. "T-Though I t-talked to Giselle for a-awhile. T-There's too m-many p-people here for m-me, really."

"Not such a social princess, eh? Yeah, me either. I'm more of the looking sort of guy; just sitting back and relaxing."

"I d-don't get s-so nervous if it's o-one-on-one," she said. "So I'll t-try and m-meet more of the n-new students later. T-There's just too m-many around r-right now."

Ah, god she was cute. Johnny wanted to grab her and hug her and keep her away from anyone that would otherwise hurt her, or just stare at her overly long, making her even more nervous.

"You don't need to be that way around me, you know that, right?"

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"I k-know," she said, smiling. "I'm s-safe around y-you, and Reno-san, and Chad-san... everyone's b-been very nice for the m-most part."

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He smiled. "Good. Reno's my fake bro, and Chad is great. So you're set in the over-protective guy department."

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Hinata did manage to get a lot of those somehow...

"V-Very set," she agreed. "It's a g-good thing to k-know."

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny wasn't at all surprised.

"What room are you in?"

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"Room 423," Hinata told him. "With H-Hoshi-san."

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Ah, yeah, okay. I'm in 217, Hinata, if you ever need me or just want to stop by, all right? And listen, you tell me when you're supposed to head to Caritas with Bender; don't forget?"

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"I'll r-remember," she assured him. "All o-of it, I p-promise."

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Satisfied, he gave her a thumbs up. "Good. Now, you thirsty? Care for anything to eat? I'd be happy to get it for you."

Re: More General Mingling (Summer 2008 - 2.0)

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"I'm g-good." Hinata smiled. "I'll p-probably head b-back to the dorms s-soon. I'm g-getting tired."
