Omg this is an Uihai tsunami and I love it.
“Sooooo. What are your plans for Valentine’s Day?” Hirako sits on Ui’s desk – the nerve – and grins at Ui.
“What’s with your cheeky face?” he asks sourly.
“So grumpy. Pining away, are we?”
“What?” Ui gasps. “For who? You’re crazy!”
“Methinks thou doth protest too much.” Kiyoko Aura breezes past.
Ui turns scarlet as all the Squad 0 kids giggle. “Who?”
Arima strolls towards them, and Shio waves him over. “Arima, Arima! Do you think Ui should buy Hairu chocolates or roses for Valentine’s Day?”
Yusa and Rikai dissolve into giggles again, and even Hirako seems taken aback.
“What?” Arima frowns. Koori and Hairu? Hairu and Koori? “Hmm, yes, I can see that.” Honestly, he rather likes the idea. “Buy her what you think she’d want.”
“How do I know?” Ui whispers.
“Ask her or her friends,” Hirako whispers back.
“What’s everyone doing here? Is there a mission to prepare for?” Hairu skips over to them. “Ui, you look red, are you okay?”
Ui gurgles.
“Hypothetically,” begins Hirako.
“The kids are wondering what to buy others for Valentine’s Day,” Arima interrupts. They threw Ui, he can throw them. It’s a life lesson.
“Ooh. Roses and chocolate and candlelit dinners are nice. But you know what’s best? Telling someone they like you. I think.” Hairu imagines her perfect Valentine’s Day.
When she waltzes away, the rest of Arima Squad stares at Ui.
“Better practice that confession.” Arima turns around. “Kids, it’s practice time.”
They all stand.
“You’re welcome,” Hirako says to a mortified Ui.
