✪ Memory Ok! Awkward Mistletoe Magic ✪ [Video]

[loyal_cube]

[The video feed starts with showing Cube, he definitely not a dog anymore. He fidgets for a bit before waving to the screen]  

H-Hello, Discedo...  
 
I'm sorry if anyone was worried about me. I-I'm fine. I think...  

I- ... I guess I'll be coming home... soon.  
 
Oh!
and thank you, little bird...  
 
[Locked to Eirin Yagokoro | Hackable]
Sensei, I... I really wish to speak with you.... and get a check-up if possible.
 
I'm sorry for missing work but... I can explain when I get there.
Though, I ahve a feeling you already know...

Oneechan... Saburo-san...
 
There's something important I need to speak to you about. I'm going to the hospital but I'll be back.  

I miss you both.  

(ooc note: Thanks to Chocobo, Cube remembers he's not a dog anymore. Mistletoe comment logging open! Cube will be traveling from Horton to the Hospital... so comment logs can happen at eithor place (Or in between...?) I hope this won't be confusing. I didn't want to make 2 or more posts in one day... Also, strike isn't there.)

I-it's alright I-

[HEY it's REISEN, the girl who helped Cube out earlier when he was a dog]

I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going...

[He laughs uneasily before trying to step past her.... and ZZZZZZZT!]

GAAAH! CH! CH! CH!!

[ he stumbles back a little and hits another barrier and then stands still, stomping his foot down, in pain]

W-What's going on?!

A-ah... was it... the mistletoe...?

I-is that what Master was talking about with the mistletoes...?

D-d-does that mean I have to...?!

[loyal_cube]

Mistletoe? H-here?

[He looks up then draws his hand back, near his face in horror]

W-Wait! Mistletoe is just a parasitic plant used during the winter holidays for... [his face starts to gather a rosy color] eh.. uh...

O-Only c-c-couples are supposed to kiss under it!!

W-w-wait, o-o-only couples...?

W-w-we're not a couple, a-are we!? I-I mean we just barely met! S-s-so why...?!

[loyal_cube]

N-N-N-No!! T-That's why I am- I mean- It's a m-mistake!!

[His ears droop and he sighs, worried]

Why did this have to happen today...?

[Cube rubs his arm for a moment before his eyes grow large at the mention of his 'other name.' He looks at her, some color gone in his face before looking away, fidgeting more]

Uh-I uh... Y-Yea...

[Cube nods, rubbing his arm more out of nervousness]

I-I'm Fireball. I forgot who I was before and I- I just remembered and I-
Please d-don't tell anyone, Miss Reisen!

[Awkward glance and more fidgeting. Could this day get any worse?]

I wanted to thank you for helping me with remembering how to speak. I-It seems silly now... but I ... it helped me a lot.

A-ah... i-it's no trouble...

*for now just... Reisen's just... trying to forget about the mistletoe, though her stammering makes it obvious that she's not being entirely successful*

I-I won't tell anybody... a-and I'm glad to help...

B-but, um... i-if you don't mind me asking, what's your real name...?

[loyal_cube]

Thank you...

[He is a little impatient... wanting to see Eirin asap but can't, so fidgeting just continues]

Oh! yes, I-I'm sorry! My name is Cube. I normally work here, at the hospital, but I- you know I... I didn't know that a few days ago...

It's a pleasure to m-meet you again, Reisen-san... Although, I wish it was under better circumstances...

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

A-ah... i-it's nice to meet you, too, Cube-san... I-I work at the hospital now, too...

*she realizes she recognizes that name...*

O-oh, a-are you... Master's new apprentice...?

[loyal_cube]

M-Master?

[IMMEDIATELY THINKS OF SHINJI but tosses that thought out the window again because that was when he was a dog.]

I-I'm Dr. Eirin Yagokoro's apprentice... I was on my way now to see her...

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

T-that's what I meant... Master Eirin.

...

U-uhm... I-I'm her apprentice from before she arrived here...

[The demon blinks a little, the idea registering in his mind, and a small fear growing....]

Y-You were? I- oh! Y-Yes! I believe I've heard of you from Sensei! I-I'm sorry if your name didn't register with me... I-I-

[he bows his head again]

It really is a pleasure to meet you!

[AAAND this just got more awkward... was he replaced? How does that work?]

*Reisen bows awkwardly in response*

I-i-it's nice to meet you, too. I-I guess we'll be sharing chores from now on?

A-as soon as we can get away from this m-mistletoe.

H-hai... If that's alright with Sensei... I-

[Oh god, he is starting to wring his tie now, out of nervousness]
Y-Yes.... B-But- I-I mean... it wants us to k-kiss even though we're not- ah- uh- y-you know...?

Maybe just a kiss on the c-cheek? T-That's a kiss, r-right?

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

*unconsciously starts fiddling with her own tie when she sees Cube playing with his own*

I-I guess a k-kiss on the cheek w-would be fine...?

*Reisen's just going to stand there awkwardly and make no move to actually kiss just yet, though*

[loyal_cube]

I-I I mean I- I won't if you- I wouldn't kiss you if you didn't wish to I just- I don't know how else to get out of this...... do you?

[Cube would move in to kiss on the cheek but only if it's verified like 500 times that it's ok]

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

A-ah... I-I don't know a-any other way... M-Master did seem to imply t-that's the only way... S-so... I-I guess that's our only option...?

*she won't move away from a kiss on the cheek*

[loyal_cube]

She d-did? If Sensei says it is only way.. I-I will not object it...

[He swallows hard, gathering the courage to kiss her on the cheek. After all, he has to get going. He straitens his tie again and takes a breath before reaching up to kiss her gently on the cheek, pulling away quickly after the deed is done]

S-Sorry...!

A-ah... i-it's not your fault... I-I should have watched w-where I was going to a-avoid this...

*she starts to move away*

I-I better get back to my-

*and then she gets a shock, pushed back towards Cube*

W-why?!

W-wh-what else does it want from us...?!

[loyal_cube]

[Cube holds his arms out as if to catch her, but she doesn't exactly fall into them, he just prevents her from falling on him instead.]

EEhhh?! I-It d-didn't work?

W-What do you mean "what else does it want?" I-It has a mind of it's own?!

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

*fortunately, Reisen isn't clumsy, so she doesn't just fall into Cube and bowl him over. She steadies herself soon enough*

I-I don't know! B-but I thought that k-kiss would have been enough to let us go!

[loyal_cube]

I-It's a mistletoe! Legend says the goddess of love hangs it to kiss you when you walk under it as a reward for saving her son!! T-T-That's why People Kiss! There is no other use for this plant!

E-Enough? W-Wait... What d-do you mean?

[moonstruck-eyes.livejournal.com]

I-I don't know!

M-m-maybe we're s-s-supposed each other o-on the... *she trails off nervously into mumbles*
