21. It only happens once a year. [Video/Action for Goldenrod]

[The transmission opens to show Lion, sitting in the outskirts of Goldenrod. In the background we can see a Dragonite (wearing a red ribbon), a Salamence, a Milotic and an Altaria playing around (in varying degrees of "playing nice"), a Lucario is sitting to Lion's right, and a not-suspicious-at-all book on the left.

If the book moves, well that's totally normal. It's just a book. Yep.]

Today it marks two years since I arrived here.

If I look back, I don't think I could've imagined spending this long here, and even less all the things that I've seen and done, or the people I have met.

[There is a thoughtful pause, before Lion smiles once more.]

To celebrate, I have a small question for everyone. It's an easy one, I'm sure almost everyone must have an answer.

What makes you feel happy?

Small things or larger ones, it doesn't matter... Let's talk about the things we enjoy or love.

In that case, I'll cling to you whenever you need me to!

*DEAD SERIOUS, YESSIR.*

Even if you're not in a hurry, I think you deserve it just as much as anyone else! ... ... eh? Ah, r... right... Because I'm so dense? I thought I was a bit better with that now...

Clinging is just fine, just fine...

[A chuckle, only Hayate could be saying those things with such an expression.]

You're very charming yourself, Hayate-san~

Mm! I'll do it whenever you want a hug, or just a anchor!

*oh. still finding that hard to believe after all this time...*

... eh? I-I'm not particularly... I mean... That is to say, I don't think I do anything all that charming normally...

I'll remember that.

[Hayate-san why?? xD]

I'd say that your attitude regarding that also helps a bit. It makes your actions much more natural.

*nooooo Lion-san why would you say that!!*

Eh? Eh?! N-Natural...? I haven't been told anything like that in a really long time... I used to get scolded for it, even...

As long as the line between "natural" and "rude" is not crossed, I don't see why you would get scolded.

[It's a very. Very. Thin line.]

... Eh? Um... I-It was because I was being called dangerous, I guess... Rise-san especially called me it somewhat regularly...

The more we talk about it, the more it sounds like a point of view thing.

... she did have a rather unique point of view.

That much I gathered.

Admittedly I'm glad I don't have to deal with her point of view given my current relationship status, as she would be looming over me at any given chance... I dodged the bullet, in a sense.

You'd be in quite a bit of trouble, wouldn't you?

I can understand, however, why she would do it.

Yeah, I woul--

... wait, you can? Seriously?! I-In what way do you understand that...?!

Well, if my younger sister got into a relationship I'd probably be looming over her boyfriend too, even if as subtly as possible.

At least until I felt certain that she was in good hands.

... It's very hard to imagine Maria in relationship that doesn't involve being the most fluffy and innocent thing in existence.

*Default to Maria since he barely knew the other one.*

Edited 2013-01-19 02:05 (UTC)

Maria is far too young for those things, that's for sure, so I don't think that would require much looming... But I was more focused towards my younger sister back home.

She's a bit rebellious, so I worry about the kind of person she could end up with.

Yeah... She really was too young for it, even after being here for so long. That kind of innocence is a thing you need to keep pure for as long as you can...

*Always felt horribly guilty when she asked him what things were that a girl her age shouldn't know!*

Ah, right... I sometimes forget just how huge your family is.

It's a good thing that Maria was less interested in "romance" and more interested in "magic" in the end.

[Lion chuckles a bit at that last part.]

Yes, there were a lot of us.

Yeah... I would fear for the world if Maria had taken an interest in it while still here. Or at the very least for everyone in her age range.

*There would be so much looming over every boy she talked to...*

Don't worry, Lion-san! You'll always be my favorite Ushiromiya!

Luckily everyone was safe from Maria's possible romantic interests.

[Endless looming, yeah.]

I'll work hard to keep my favorite spot, Hayate-san, I promise.

Aha... This is starting to sound like a scary topic.

*Knowing his luck he'd have been one of them!!*

Ehehe... You wouldn't have to work all that hard! It's rather set in stone~

Quite scary, yes. Good thing it's just an hypothesis.

[Lion chuckles. It's all in good fun, since it can't happen? xD]

Friendship, like any relationship, has to be properly nurtured in order to grow even stronger, don't you agree?
