ic; if there isn't a good high school au meme up then i'll just make my own!!

[ It's always a joyous day when the students of the older classes need to come into class to help out the younger ones. A joyous day for Minako, that is, since it means she can stare at them and talk to them without seeming like a totally random stalker fangirl. Not that Minako has a whole lot of shame to actually mind that, but still...

She can barely contain herself the entire day, and by the time it really is time for class she's - uncharacteristically so - one of the first at the door, bouncing from one foot to another in glee and excitement. Once the teacher opens the classroom door, she's in first (maybe even shoving some other girls out of the way) to look at the partner listings and seat arrangements only to squeal at the name listed to her own. Bingo. She just took home the complete jackpot! All she has to do is go sit there and wait for the older students to arrive.

And when they do, Minako doesn't even bother to be subtle in the slightest-- the moment she spots Aidou entering the classroom, she doesn't even let him look at the listing, she's already waving and loudly calling out from her spot in the back. ]

Aidou-senpaaaii..! Over here!

[ No dates until then, huh? She can live with that as long as it means there will be dates in the future with the cutest guy in school - that's clearly the only reason to work hard in school ever.

So Minako doesn't have to consider his offer for very long. She's not able to, anyway, she's so excited that she just has to grab this offer. But Minako wouldn't be Minako if she didn't manage to try and squeeze some last things out of it.. ]

Will hand holding be involved? [ Somehow she happens to look the perfect ridiculous medium of trying to be sneaky and acting like a commander at a table talking about war negotiations. This is just as important as that, anyway. ]

[ if it gets her to succeed, it may be worth the humiliation and honestly, this was starting to prove to be a challenge that was getting Aidou's blood up (let's just be grateful it's no longer morning, otherwise this would surely all be a lost cause). ]

Hand-holding requires extra credit. [ which there is none, so hah! Aidou can't help the satisfied little smile that crosses his face after saying that either which any war-hardened commander would notice. But is it a bluff? is it really ~~just bake the most delicious cookies ever and maybe he'll forget about rules. Who knows?~~ ]

[ Even if it's a bluff, she's still going for it. Because impossible is not a word that can be found anywhere in Minako Aino's dictionary.

So the girl stares him straight in the eyes for a moment or two, as if she's considering just how to go about this since she also realises there's no extra credit..

And then she realises it. Minako jumps up in her seat, arm raised so high it looks like she's trying to reach the ceiling. ]

Teacher, teacher..!

[ You might want to stop her before hand-holding becomes inevitable, Aidou. ]

[ fjdsa CRUEL MISTRESS!

Aidou immediately lunged and grabbed her hand, pulling her back down in her seat. ]

Stop that!

[ he hissed, he couldn't help hissing, his life and reputation were on the line here! ]

I'll give you the extra credit just as soon as you prove you can do the work in front of you!

[ gosh, wow. Way to call his bluff! He can tell he's going to have his work cut out for himself... ]

[ Guess who's currently looking smug and victorious as all hell. This girl over here. Because despite the commotion they're causing and the fact that both the teacher and other students look over in their direction for a moment before turning back to their work - they're probably used to Minako being Minako already, let's be real here - she's smiling widely at him, realising that he's truly given in. She'll show him just yet that the goddess of love gets what the goddess of love wants! ]

Alright then, I'll give it my all! [ She grabs her pen and pulls the book a little closer, staring at the problems in there. ] Right, so staring with roots..

[ And it sounds like she's actually going to listen to his explanations, yes. And pretty serious. A lot hinges on this, okay, she wants her date..!! ]

[ to what god did Aidou piss off that here he was, sweating bullets under his uniform and waiting for his ~date~ at the school's front entrance. He had promised to walk her home and, by some miracle, she had actually done all the course work.

And the extra credit.

And the extra credit to the extra credit.

And he was being lauded as the best teacher in the school by all and sundry. This was hardly fair!

But the second he ~~hears~~ sees Minako, he jumps to attention, tugging his hat a bit closer around his eyes to block ~~her~~ the sun from his view. ]

Ah, Minako-chan! Did you show sensei your work books?

[ he had already approved them all but even so, he had needed the excuse to take a few moments to collect himself and so he'd sent Minako off to the lounge. Nagakura sensei must have been ecstatic over her improved math scores... ]

That's right!

[ Minako is all smiles and bubbles. How couldn't she be, after all, if she got what she wanted in the end? It had been a lot of hard work even with her not being as extremely dumb as she often appears to be, but she knows that this is totally worth it. No matter how many nights of lying in bed and doing math problems under the covers instead of sleeping it took, it didn't matter since it was all for the sake of her own ~doki doki romance~ with the school's idol.

She's shoved her books back into the bag she swings around happily as she skips over, finally stopping when she's standing near to him and beaming nothing but smiles up at him. Of course that might not exactly be a good thing to Aidou as much as it is to her.. ]

I really thought sensei was going to cry for a moment, his eyes got all watery.. [ Typical Nagakura-sensei, getting emotional over the weirdest things. She's pretty sure he was bawling when one of the girls gave him chocolates last Valentine's Day, even if it was probably out of politeness. ]

So that means it's time for my reward now, r~i~g~h~t? [ Leaning towards him... almost menacingly..

It's like jaws, but with a big-eyed blonde shark. ]

[ He's already feeling cold shivers running down her spine at that angelic seeming smile because he knows what true devilism runs through her veins! It's the veins of a woman looking for love and that sweet school life! What did she think this was? An Otome game?

Hah!

But even so, Aidou can't help but feel the pull of the multiple choice romance option and so he smiles and chuckled lightly, imagining that scene all too clearly. ]

You were the one in a million bet he never thought he'd win, but I guess you've proven me wrong!

[ who knew that the odds could lie? AIDOU WANTS HIS MONEY BACK ]

A-and of course you can have your reward! [ as he leans back, way back from that shark like stare (was he actually hearing the jaws theme right now or was that perhaps just his heart?) ] We, um... were supposed to walk home, right?

[ although no holding hands, he had to keep some kind of dignity on this date! ]

[ Are you kidding? This is totally an otome game, and she's totally on the best route here. But then again, this is Minako, there's no way she'd settle for less - or maybe it's just that in her mind, there's hardly such a thing as "less" when it comes to cute guys. Although she has to admit to herself that Aidou is exceptionally cute and pretty, otherwise she would never have worked hard enough to actually bother with schoolwork just to get to this work. Building your intelligence stat in dating games sure is hard work..

(Somewhere Nagakura-sensei is probably laughing about finally seeing Aidou lose a bet instead of him.) ]

Uuuuh-huh. All the way. No takebacks.

[ Some people might feel bad about forcing others into such a thing, but not Minako. People clearly just need to get used to her charms before they can truly appreciate them, isn't it obvious? ]

And I'm ready! [ Except Minako has a different idea for all of this. She's sticking out her hand towards the other guy, with the intent clear behind it - Minako doesn't do this kind of stuff halfway, okay, go big or go home!

She's also not going to pull it back. Nope. Deal with it, Aidou. ]

[ Aidou looks at that hand and then at Minako and then very blithely just drops his bag in her hands. ]

Thanks Minako! It was getting rather heavy after waiting all this time for you to finish things up with Sensei. Shall we start walking then?

[ See that smile? See those dimples? How can you dare tell him that's not what that hand was meant for? Also, please don't mind the like, thirty pounds of manga in that bag. He got bored waiting.

(and Nagakura-sensei, why do you have to laugh :c )]

[ Minako immediately almost falls over with how heavy the bag is.. thank god for quick sailor soldier reflexes or she would just have fallen straight down on her face. Instead she manages to stay upright, but she's stil staring at the bag as if he just handed her a live spider or something. This is so not what she was expecting, is his idea of a date her carrying his stuff?!

U.. urgh, even if you smile that cutely, you can't fool her, Aidou...!! ]

W-wait a moment..! [ Just hear that whiny disappoinment in her voice.. here it is goes, her heart is being crushed.. ] Senpaaai, you can't let a girl carry your stuff! That's not how it works! I'm going to end up looking like a hunchback at this rate..!

[ Aidou's eyes widen slightly as he takes a step back, breath catching in his throat as he clutcheed at his chest. ]

But, I thought you knew! I have a weak heart and I didn't think that bag was all that heavy, is it?

[ he gets a sad look in his eye as he turns to face the wind, letting the light touch ruffle his locks as a single tear creeps down his face. ]

I thought... after everything I've done for you...

[ he wiped a hand across his cheek and then reached over to take his bag once more. ]

Sorry, I'll carry it from now on. It's really not that big of a deal!

[ really, it isn't. Even though Aidou definitely just turned it into one. ]

...

[ For a moment it actually leaves Minako dumbfounded. There's a lot of responses she might have expected to her saying that, but this wasn't particularly high on the list, so it actually manages to surprise her.

Not that she's falling for it, per se, because even with as ditzy as she acts all the time, it's not like she's actually that stupid. Particularly when it comes to these kind of acts, since she uses them herself too. How many times has she wibbled and near-cried just to get certain people to do stuff for her? In fact, her surprise is more at seeing her very own trick being turned back on her..

You're a worthy opponent in this battlefield of love, Aidou, but Minako is the goddess and expert here.

So she just huffs, holding his bag inbetween her hands, turning her body so it's out of the reach of the hand he's holding out. ]

It's fine. If I turn into a hunchback, then that'll just mean senpai has to take care of me for the rest of my life. [ As a wife, of course, what else?

Because two can play this game, Aidou. And Minako quickly goes back to a smile as she already steps forward. ]

Come on, let's go!

[ touche Minako, touche. He can tell he's dealing with a master here, but before he can do more then think that, she's off and running, and Aidou's left scrambling to catch up to his precious cargo (aka, his bag).

Jogging up next to her, he settles into a nice, steady walk, sparing a glance for Minako's smiling face and shivering at the sheer brightness of it. ]

You're actually pretty strong, Minako-chan. I didn't think you'd be able to carry that bag at all!

[ Or, you know, not without the impression of the hunchback of notre dame going anyway. Your cool points may have actually just climbed from -43 to -44!

Er, wait...

Never mind, it's not important. The meter ticks how the meter ticks! And who's keeping score anyway? Ahem, turning on a bright smile himself, he pats her on the back. ] And don't worry, a little thing like a bag won't kill you! Although if it does, I'll eat a parfait in your honor, neh?

[ see, see? Aidou's a good boy after all! ]

[ THAT METER IS RIGGED, AIDOU HANABUSA!!!

But fine, Minako can just work outside of the meter. Smash destiny and all that. Don't you see how stubborn this girl is, she'll turn that meter upside down just yet, especially since he touched her.. that's like one step towards marriage already.

And she doesn't even need that parfait eating, she has something much better! Drawing the bag a little closer to herself, almost as if she's hugging it, she starts to giggle. ]

What, you mean you didn't realise yet, senpai? [ Never trust Minako. First step of learning how to deal with her. ] I have your bag, you know? That means you can't leave until I let it go.

[ Aka he's at the mercy of Minako's whims now, because she isn't going to let him go home and part with her that easily! ]

[ IT'S PERFECTLY FINE. HE JUST CALIBRATED THAT YESTERDAY. And then maybe deliberately forgot to flip a switch. Hmm... maybe he should take another look at that.

But enough joking because he's freezing in his tracks, hand still raised to pat Minako's shoulder when she lays down her ultimatum. But the moment passes and in less then half a minute, he's back to normal and his hands are mysteriously stuck inside his pockets as he walks next to his "friend." ]

If you really wanted to read some manga, you only had to ask. I'm sure Takuma wouldn't mind! [ or, you know, she'd have to face his wrath. He can be quite the scary guy you know! And besides, making Aidou fight for the bag just isn't cool you know. -10 cute points! ]

[ She doesn't even care about losing cute points as long as she's slowly closing the trap around him... once Minako has her sights set on someone, she doesn't let go! It's a common trait in blonde ~~demon~~s, you know!

So the girl just hums to herself while still hugging the bag, as if she's well aware of her victory this time. But the battle has not yet been won.. ]

Senpaaai! [ It's not really whiny though, it's more a sing-song kind of voice.. ] You know there's something totally else I want to do with you rather than reading manga!

[ of course he knows, Minako had it doodled all over her notebooks that he had to check and verify! ]

If you're asking for cake, that's impossible.

[ mostly because... well just because! Why does he have to come up with all the excuses? And he'll just scoot two more steps away from Minako. The street is plenty large enough for the two of them! ]

[ What, she thought the drawing of both of them in wedding outfits with the words "Mrs. Minako Hanabusa" was very cute, okay.. Aidou should be honored that he got to witness such a great and heart-warming sight!

She also follows him right away when he's scooting off. Her steps fall directly after his own, almost as if she's not planning to budge even an inch when it comes to being close to him - this is why she made him walk home with her, okay, Minako's not the kind of girl to waste any chance! ]

But what if I had cake for you? [ She knows his weak spots, okay. Minako probably has a journal somewhere with the weak spots of every guy in school that's worth her time. That's the only kind of research she can motivate herself for.. ]

And then when senpai sits down to eat it at my place, I can feed it to him by hand..!

[ Of course it wouldn't turn out to be a normal scenario. What did anyone expect. ]

[ It was cute until he realized that wasn't a dog on the other side of the cake but actually him. He almost ripped that page out on principal! ]

Do you really think I'll cave in the name of cake?

[ oh please, he's made of sterner stuff then that! But then he cleared his throat and glance over to Minako's ever hopeful face and cleared this throat again. ]

So. . . What kind of cake is it?

[ well, okay, maybe just only a tiny bit sterner then she thought. Until she speaks again and then he's blushing bright red and leaping backwards, pointing. ]

No! I refuse! Man made forks for a reason and I can use one myself!

[ sheesh, what did she take him for? An easy target? At least wait until the second date and the fifth piece of cake... ]

[ Nope, the only strategy is the proactive one! Scratch that, it's the aggressive one altogether! How is her handsome senpai going to notice her if she doesn't come at him with love guns ablazing?

Besides, she saw him give in there for just a moment, okay. She's going to shoot Cupid's arrow right into that weak spot even if it's the last thing she ever does!! ]

Hmm..? Not even when it's a lovely big strawberry cake with lots of whipped cream? I heard there's maybe even six different layers in it.. [ Just listen to how sweet and non-aggressive she suddenly sounds as she's saying it. Like someone putting cheese into a mouse trap. A big, Aidou-sized mouse trap.. ]

[ by giving him a charming love note and a parfait instead?

For like ten years?

It could work, maybe???????

—oh wait, that's kind of exactly what she's doing and his heart's certainly going doki doki as he drools off into the sunset imagining such a cake. ]

Is it made with fresh strawberries?

[ what was that about a trap? He didn't hear a thing... ]

The freshest.

[ Suddenly she's practically right next to him again at this point, pretty close to downright whispering those words ~~seductively~~ straight into Aidou's ear.. never underestimate the power of the ninja of love and beauty! That's clearly her sidejob next to being a goddess.. ]

There's no way a cake expert like you could turn down one like that, right..?

[ he jerks back and immediately slapped his ear. Pesky mosquito! ]

W-well of course I can't turn something like that down. Where did you get that cake!

[ which of course means she couldn't have baked that. No way it could have been done to his satisfaction considering the time and effort she had to have been putting into her studies.

This just wasn't fair! ]

[ She giggles - only narrowly avoiding being slapped by him as well, thankfully, that would have been a little awkward.. but nope, Minako is still going strong. ]

Well, you know that cute little cake shop you always go to? [ How Minako knows where Aidou gets his cakes? Ah, nothing big, just a pair of binoculars and lying in the bushes and stalking him around.. you know. Totally normal things every teenage girl in love would do! ]

It's one from there. And one of the biggest. In fact, they told me they might never sell a cake that big there ever again!

[ And it cost her so much, but it was totally worth all those months of saved up allowance.. love can be bought, after all. ]
