@linklewinklewoman ♥’d for a Naoto-Quality text message (for Natalie, @brainpuncher )

To: Nat  DO U MIND IF JOINED IN TO UR MORNING JOG AGAIN TMRW? IT WAS OK & I WANT TO SPEND TIME W/ U

[girly-fool]

Aftermath

A starter for @brainpuncher

Her morning mission was to find another possible member of S.E.E.S., after Akihiko’s injury became more complex due to his rashness at the most recent Shadow encounter. Of all things, she didn’t expect Akihiko-senpai to get heavily injured... But she indulged him by following him to a boxing match nearby, she saw a girl a little older than her, who went to Gekkoukan.

“There she is.” Akihiko seemed to know her. “Natalie Bushida. If there’s anyone who can compete with me, it’s her. Of course, we can’t compete, we’re in different classes of boxing.” Minako turned towards the girl, seeing her movements, her punches... Not exactly knowing what or where to look at...

“We have to recruit her. Maybe she has the potential.”

Minako could never be as scared of a human being. When Akihiko-senpai said that, the girl managed to hit a punch so hard, it knocked her opponent over. She gulped...

She spent the following night raising her knowledge on boxing terms and all. Akihiko spoke about techniques on the way back home, but once they arrived, Mitsuru’s concerned glare told them that he wouldn’t get to show off any of the moves, and he’d just teach her the terms. Even after that, she spent some time looking for anything involving boxing, anything to approach this girl.

She walked the hallways of school after it was over, looking for this girl. She tried to go over how to start the conversation in her head. She’d introduce herself, mention the match yesterday, point out one thing she saw, use terminology... Wait, would it be better not to introduce herself? Maybe she could get the other’s attention by-

“Ack!” Suddenly, she found the girl right in front of her, exiting a classroom. “B-Bushida-senpai! Your match yesterday was astounding, I loved how you moved around the ring and did some punches to the central whatever-it’s-called and put your opponent at a disadvantage and- A-ah! I’m Minako! I-I mean, Arisato! Minako Arisato, and you’re Natalie Bushida! H-Hi!”

@brainpuncher

It’s the day...the day of the boxing match that Natalie told you about, and of course, for the one she gave you a ticket.

You’re waiting in front of the building she told you to go to, after surprisingly convincing your sister of it being an educational experience, that in a sense, can be. While you came to enjoy the match, you’re also hoping to remember some of the movements to keep them in mind for the Metaverse.

“Well...it should be here...I hope I didn’t get the wrong building or something.” You said as you looked down at the screen of your phone. You decided to come a little earlier so you could message her and warn you were here.

Now all you were waiting for was for her to come look for you before the preparations of the match.

brainpuncher​: 

Natalie laughed, wincing at the slight pain in her stomach from it. She didn’t stop smiling though. “Always so worried. You are so cute when you fret over me.” She knew Naoto cared. She said she wasn’t good expressing herself, but when she cut through trying to word things right, she spoke just fine. Naoto was an honest woman and Natalie liked that.

Natalie nodded. “Since I just did a match, I’ll rest a couple days before doing even light exercise. I got a few liver shots on me, but I managed to stay strong due to my training. I did special training on my core so I could withstand it. If I hadn’t, I would have gone down a few times.” She reached over and ruffled Naoto’s head on her hat. “Not that I mind having my cool detective wife getting all protective over me, but coach makes sure I go in ready.”

“You’re definitely not fully OK, that just confirmed my suspicions - hey. I’m not that cute if I’m trying to make sure you’re not endangering your health in this line of career too much or let your guard down too much for the media to have a new target to latch on to.” She coughed aloud and muttered how she wasn’t trying to appear the specific type of a person when she most likely got the attention again from the behavior none assumed from her but didn’t think lowered her impact. The seemingly suave detective wasn’t as talented with her words as people thought and it was something people and press seemed to like in a same sense as focusing on the personal details the Shirogane heiress had.

Naoto sighed in relief and mused how it’d go without mentioning how she’d be in a worse condition if the other hadn’t gotten the special training for the damage at the core. “The people who claim that boxing is only uncontrollable violence... they know nothing. It is as harsh as can be seen but the regulations are as tight as the gun laws in Japan, and you have more training and self-restraint on emotions than I do.“ Her expression softened for a bit when Natalie ruffled her hair and mused almost inaudibly how she was most likely going to be defending her for a long time even though it wasn't obligatory to her, whether she wanted it or not. Her coach was still the best person to evaluate her wife's health and she'd trust her enough on this aspect.

It's almost an instinct I have now left from the TV World, though I'm happy how your coach isn't againsy informing me if you're fully in shape or not after a tough match.

"Nat, you're not going to believe this." She was hanging out at the backstage room she always got access to after the matches and sounded really amused on how she was more entertained than irritated on this whole commotion. "Apparently the media decided to ignore my private life for a while and instead compare me to my colleague, and of course made the huge fuss on how this must be a world-changing thing in both of us." She added casually how the match had went way better than she'd assumed.

Natalie was resting with a bag of ice against her stomach. She did well, but had taken a few body blows. That was a sharper pain, but she’d get over it. The match done, she could focus on other things. Like this whole popularity contest. “Well ignoring the ones crushing, the difference between you two is Akechi is more self made while you got the legacy with your family. Didn’t you say he lived alone? We should invite him for dinner sometime. I’ve barely talked to him and you seem to like him. I’ll cook too.”

Send me a ❥ and I will say something positive about someone random. || ACCEPTING STILL!@kxaito / @scrlymanager / kirigiri-kocho : Peyton, I know that you aren't on much but I feel like this is the greatest time to say this. It's been awhile since we last talked and I'm not sure if you're still around here but do know that whatever you're facing right now, I'm here, okay? We still have our discord and I would love to catch up with you. Again, I love your characters so much and I hope to see you again real soon.

@brainpuncher continued from here

“Hey there.” Rise said smiling friendly at the girl. “You looked really awesome up there!” She said trying to make conversation at the stranger. The strong girl seemed nice and seemed like she knew a bit about the gym which would help Rise. That’s why she was here in disguise after all. She usually trained in a private one on one session with her trainer but she really wanted something that felt more social, doing it alone was boring.

Anonymous did you mean @brainpuncher​ asked:

There is a homemade blue cupcake with a lit candle and a small present next to it. Curious! Inside the box is quite the lovely watch! Perfect for a pro detective. Just who could have left it? Probably someone with a great right hook. Just a guess. Also muscles and a boxer.

Naoto’s Birthday 2k22 / Accepting for now!

It was amusing and in a way... endearing how she’d noticed how Natalie had an eye for details and was better at observing people than most people gave her credit for. Granted, she wasn’t perfect at it but she’d gotten most details right. That, and both had managed to settle to the stable system of neither trying too hard to appear fluent.

Naoto just smiled at the gesture some people might consider “not romantic enough”. Of course she’d notice how I’d considered of buying a new watch after my old one got battered up in a case. People who think that you aren’t smart because you’re not academically gifted are fools.

@brainpuncher

“Hey, I see you’re new to Shujin. Do you know where your homeroom is? I’d be happy to show you!”

[thedetectiveofinaba]

"In all honesty, while I do understand that knowing unusual skills is deemed to be suspicious most people wouldn't ever understand the odd or extreme situations this profession brings us in. Such as this one." She was serious on learning how to pick locks and wasn't going go care if she got shade on that. The joke was on others since she'd know how to break out of them and be more efficient. And to avoid farces like this. It was the first priority.

She mused how they better notice this detail and not assume everyone has time for foolishness like this. "One to two and half hours is my guess on this. Nat keeps reminding me to think positively but now the vision of others picking fun of me 'being sweeped by the other detective prince' is a strong motive they have. Apparently an open relationship with another celebrity was completely forgotten or these idiots don't watch boxing - not that I'd blame them. It's a harsh as an idea at first to think and a dangerous sports, some find it to be only violence instead of tactical chess combined with the risks the nature it has."

thedetectiveofinaba‌:

“Same here. That skill also has practical uses if either of us got in trouble in out career later and the weapons we had would be used against us. It might be a little questionable but… this kind of stunt is also on the borderline of ‘not a correct idea’.” Considering how this place was a police department it was illogical and twisted if you wanted to use this as a way of intimidation. She’d complain about this and skip the next event this place would have.

Naoto muttered how she was betting that there was a money pool going on about the pair combinations and that she had no clue on the actual time. “It’d make sense it to be less than two hours, for it’d be both uncomfortable and questionable if a person outside Tokyo PD heard about this. They better have considered the closing times of shops and other factors, or if someone wanted to leave earlier than others.” She was definitely taking off right after this and going to marathon the newest Featherman episodes so she could talk about it with both Nanako and Ken - and ditch the amused gazes others had.

“What is your time estimation on this? We might as well try deducing this when we are stuck in a room.” She made sure to not move her arm too far away from where it was nor be too close to his personal bubble. 

“You’re right that it would certainly be a practical skill to have especially if we are in trouble even if most people believe having the skill makes you a criminal.” He nodded; agreeing that having the skill would be useful to have to get out of certain situations.

Akechi also agreed that the stunt was also borderline of ‘not a correct idea’ as he didn’t see the point of the whole ‘teamwork’ by handcuffing the people together.

“Hopefully considering that we do have things to do which will be hindered if we remained handcuff together… There’s also the fact that people have personal business to attend to… Such as a doctor appointment.” Or watching the latest episode of Featherman and a few other shows… Something that he didn’t want anyone to know about.

“I say probably between one hour and two hours…. Depending on their mood and how long they want this to last.”
