Chapter Text
How'd it get to this? I mean, when I first met her she was stuck in a tree. Apparently she was trying to find a pineapple. A FREAKING PINEAPPLE. After explaining to her how those aren't apples that grow on pines, I had to carry her home after she somehow tripped on a pebble and sprained her ankle. A week later, when I'm finally starting to forget that day, WHO ELSE WOULD I FIND AT SCHOOL? Not only that, she shares most classes with me. Not only THAT, but that empty locker next to mine now has an owner. She's annoying, crazy and doesn't do her homework. Then why am I going on a date with SETSUNA of all people?!
"Corrin? Where are we going?"
As Setsuna got a bit too close for comfort, I repeated for the... What? Ninth time now?
"We're going to have dinner at that fancy restaurant that just opened."
"You're really nice, to invite me over... Even Hinoka took a while to go out with me..."
Of course she woul-- Wait...
"Did you just say Hinoka?!"
"Hm? I did, yes..."
"Like, a really strong redhead?"
"How'd you guess?"
Oh god no. NonononononononoNO! This can't be happening. Hinoka seemed almost GLAD to be moving away from her "friends".
This is not a good sign.
"*sigh* There might be a teeny-tiny chance that she's my sister..."
"Really? That's nice..."
That... Was not the reaction I was expecting.
"You're not excited to be able to see her again?"
"Of course I am. How could I not?"
That could not have come out less excited if she tried to.
"Well, we're here."
As we took a seat, a tall man with white hair approached us.
"Good evening. I am Jakob, and I will be your waiter tonight. Would you like anything to drink?"
"I want pineapple juice."
Of course she does.
"I'll have a Coke, thanks."
"I will be back shortly. Here's the menu."
As Setsuna lazily decided what she would eat, I couldn't help but notice that she was actually wearing makeup. Her clothes were just formal enough that I could tell she actually put some thought into what she would wear. Maybe she was taking this more seriously than I thought. Maybe this date won't be so bad after all.
"So, how did you meet my sister?"
"She helped me out when I fell inside a pitfall trap on our school trip a few years ago. She was always nice like that..."
"Yeah, I'm sure she was."
...
"Hinoka, I've got someone I'd like you to meet!"
"Alright, alright, no need to yell... Setsuna?"
"Hi... I'm Setsuna it's very nice to meet you... Wait, that's not right..."
Hinoka looks at me as if to say "SERIOUSLY?!"
I slowly nod, with a very awkward grin on my face.
"*sigh* Just... Try not to bring her here too often. I don't know if Takumi can stay in the same room as her without punching a wall."
"That's so nice of you to say..."
I'm starting to get used to her. Sure, she's not the most conventional friend (Girlfriend? With her, I couldn't really tell) or the best student, but Setsuna had her charm.
"Heheh... Come in, I'm sure you girls have a lot to catch up on."
The glare my sister gave me could only be described as satanic. I knew I owed her BIG after this.
