“I absolutely adore animals in general.” Kotonoe said with a grin of excitement.“and now I get to go tell my friend that I’ve finally seen him. Ya know, before he pulls me around the building looking for him again.” She said with a chuckle, the memory of when he did that amusing her.

Kotonoe closed her eyes and bit her lip, holding back a chuckle at the thought. “I feel kinda bad for him,” she admitted as she scratched her neck again. “But in sure I may have found it kind of amusing too, had I seen it.” She added, a jovial smile on her lips. “I guess he was pretty relieved to have seen the mystery kitty again though when he was in here. I would have.” Kotonoe thought of the scene for a moment, a smirk on her lips. “Actually, I may have been a smartass about it and gone ‘what cat?’” as I pet him. “… Yeah, that probably would have been my reaction to it.” She confirmed with a grin. “May have just curled up and cuddled the little fluff ball. Guard or not.” She added as she came back from her thoughts. She looked over to Mitsuru with a playful gaze and spoke “let’s face it, it would be well worth it.” she stood still for a moment before leaning down and petting Kuu again quickly, a small and content smile on her face, one that was easily visible.

“If you say so~” she cooed in a teasing voice. “It is pretty great though. How you are.” She mentioned, quick to explain her point simply. She stuck her tongue out at him again quickly as she pulled her hand away and slipped it into her pocket, forcing aside the jacket of her uniform. Suddenly she thought of something and grinned widely. “And before I forget, you’re not the only one with a tattoo~” this time she wasn’t referring to the markings on her wrist it ankles, not even the ones in her neck. But an actual tattoo she had drawn up to get. “But you’ll have to figure it out for yourself. Which shouldn’t be too hard, since the hint I’ll give you is a lot of people call me that.” She said, a grin growing mischievously wider. “And you can feel how you want about it. I’ll probably not let anyone else do that. Not unless they wanna learning to do everything without their dominant hand.” She said, a slight serious tone lacing her words. She really didn’t plan to let anyone else do that. Not without sparring her for it first. And she was pretty good at holding her own, she was sure of that…. Well, even then she wouldn’t let them. “She feel a little jealous if you want, I certainly won’t mind. They’ll get flipped soon after anyways. Either flipped off or over my shoulder, that is.” She said, going off on a small spiel. Her words were quickly followed by leaning against the door of his office, or rather the doorframe. One leg kicked over the other and her head tilted. “You used a line from a video game? I absolutely swooning?” She joked, adding her own layer of acting to make it sarcastically overdramatic. Though, she could help the small blush that appeared because of it. It was still cute to her regardless. Kotonoe caught him messing with the ring again and shook her head. He seemed to do that a lot, not to say she minded. “if you’re not careful you may bite it.” She joked light-heartedly. “Or someone else will~” she added in a low and teasing tone, trying her best to make it sound tempting without dying in a fit of laughter or flusteredness from her own actions. Though that was her reaction to him saying it was dumb- as she certainly disagreed with the statement- she pulled a small hand mirror from her pocket and handed it over. “Careful, you may get dusted with makeup when you open it.” She warned. Honestly, it was almost untouched except for when she went to building 3 or for very, very special occasions. She smiled through her embarrassment when he said he’d try. Though the moment he poked her stomach the guard desperately tried to stifle a giggle. Of course she covered it up with a small and drawn out ‘no.’ the last thing she needed was people figuring out she was ticklish on her stomach, because they went for her sides next which would earn her 'attacker’ a very different reaction in return. Sue stepped forward though which a chuckle, hoping she had hidden it well enough. “Well then, I guess we should go eat.” She said before adding on. “And I’m still paying too~” was all she could manage as she walked into the hallway. “I think everything about me is just really vocal though.” She admitted with a shrug as she turned to him. She shook her head and glanced back down the hallway. “You’re paying for cat treats yourself though.” She said as she swayed back and fourth on her feet. “I’ll pay for everything except your shopping list. So I’ll pay for your food.” She said, narrowing the list down. “ You have to spend some money.” She chirped with a laugh as she turned her back, ready to start walking down the hallway again. Already she could hear the food court calling her name. Sushi and coffee flavored milkshakes await. Caught off guard though she let out a short shriek. “Mitsuru.” She yelled in surprise, wrapping her arms back around his neck. She hadn’t actually expected him to do so and with a twinge of embarrassment she lowered her hat over her face, cheeks flushed to her ears and a small grin on her features. It wasn't​ that bad really. She tipped back the brim of her hat to look at him with hooded eyes. Even if her blush was visible it would only be for a short time before she went back to hiding. “We’ll have fun trying to explain why you’re carrying a flattered building 2 guard around.” She mumbled, tone playful but embarrassed. When she moved her hat back over her face though in a rather futile attempt to hide what kind of state she was in, she rested her head back against him. “At least I don’t have to walk there myself.” She mumbled against him as she grinned. Wiggling a moment before becoming content with how she was.

Mitsuru hold her close, enjoying the look on her face a lot. It was just too cute he thought as he walked down the hallway.  “I love animals as well, but Kuu is my favorite~ But when I would own a cat myself, maybe I would think different. Or a dog. Dogs are great too~ Or something small”, he was going on and on until he stopped himself with a grin. “I’m sorry, I could talk about animals for hours, you know?” He chuckled a little. „Seitarou was more than relieved to see Kuu. He really thought he was done for. And well, I can't hardly imagine how Hajime would react if Kuu really disappears. He'd be worried, I bet. Like.. really worried.“ When Kotonoe explained what her reaction would have been, he grinned even wider. „That's good! I should have done that! Why don't I think about such genius things?“

He talked more quiet this time, didn't want to cause her ears any harm because she was so close to him. He knew what impact his voice had. The broadcaster listened to her when she told him about her tattoo and his smile got wider. „I love women with tattoos“, he admitted. „And by what you say I would guess it's a hummingbird, am I right?“ He wasn't lying here. He really liked women with tattoos, piercings, colorful hair. Everything that made them special. He had enough of the ordinary girls in his school. Most of them were arrogant, selfish and always messing with him because he was different. But he got to knew a few girls that were special (Not in the way that he had feelings for them tho) and they were much nicer to him then everyone else. In his mind he tried to imagine where that tattoo might be and he almost didn't hear her next sentences over his thoughts which caused a rather confused look on his face for a moment. „I... think I just spaced out...“, he admitted shyly and embarrassed. That hadn't happen to him in a long time till now and sometimes he asked himself what causes that. Was he too focused on his own thoughts so he didn't hear when someone was talking to him? He felt like he was really rude right now and added „I'm sorry about that..“ When she reacted to him using a video game quote, he actually blushed a little. „What can I say, I'm a nerd“, he said with a grins. „And I swear, If I wasn't carrying you, I would now kneel down and kiss your hand for apologize, my princess~“, again his voice was over dramatic and teasing, even though, to be honest, they both knew he absolutely would have done that.

When she caught him playing around with the piercing, he just shrugged as good as he could with her on his arms. „I'll never learn. Once I swallowed a  piece of my piercing when I was messing with it. I learned nothing from it. Also I once bit my tongue ring when it was new. That was unpleasant. It was bleeding and I only could eat ice cubes the whole day. Also, the next day I was forced to eat something spicy... I regretted the piercing a little. But just a little.“ „And wait... who else should bite my piecing.... except when someone is planing on messing with me while kissing.“ The same moment he said it, he was blushing a little more. Even if it sounded kinda odd, the thought was exciting for him. He was rather sensitive at the spots where he was pierced in general.

The black haired man carefully took the hand mirror, what wasn't too easy since he already was carrying Kotonoe and he did his best not to drop her or the mirror. He managed to open it looked at it but when he figured out how red he was, he absolutely forgot why he actually wanted to take a look at the mirror. „Oh my god...“, he mumbled flustered and laughed. „I look like a cherry~“ He carefully let her take the mirror back. Sadly, he missed the opportunity to find out how easy it was to tickle her, but he took a mental note that she was indeed reacting to the poking. Maybe he'd come back to it later.

He almost reached the security check at the entrance of the headquarter as he let her down again. It would be too strange to walk through the security systems like this. And he would like to avoided even more attention from the security officers than he already got every damn time he had to go through the systems. As if they wouldn't know by now what was about to happen. But rules were rules and these guys were just doing their jobs. „I hate it...“, he mumbled while opening the belt he was wearing over the coat he was wearing. „Every time I'm passing that damn security gate it reacts. One of the piercings seems to be pure metal but I couldn't figure out which one it is so far...“ He was prepared for another discussion with the security officer today. While he was taking off his watch as well, he looked over to Kotonoe. „I never expected you to pay for my shopping list“, he laughed. „I wouldn't want that to be honest.“ His uniform looked a little strange without the belt and after he also removed his hat and the headphones he was wearing around his neck, it seemed like a completely different person was standing in front of Kotonoe.  „Please don't mention how strange I look... I once looked in a mirror like this and... it was a shock.“ He was being over dramatic again, it was obvious but still, he felt incomplete without the features he just removed.
