Short summary: Saki finds Kotomi taken aback when they meet, because of an unexpected match.
“What’s up?” Saki leans in closer once she notices Kotomi’s rather lackluster greeting. Well, it’s not like Kotomi is particularly loud unless she is angry, but the quietness is still concerning.
“I was expecting something different,” Kotomi replies quietly, eyes looking aside. “Like pink or something.”
“Huh?” Saki blinks. “Like Pinkun?” she immediately responds.
Then Saki takes a step back. Kotomi isn’t quiet because she is feeling down but rather because she’s surprised about something related to Saki’s appearance. Saki takes stock; she doesn’t think she’s wearing anything unusual, just a white top and orange vest and jeans instead of shorts because it’s winter not summer, but because of today’s rain she has… Oh.
“I do like pink and orange and bright colors, but sometimes you just need something practical,” Saki says with a laugh. “Is it weird to match?”
Because Kotomi is also holding a black umbrella.
“Not particularly,” Kotomi replies, lips pressed together to prevent a smile or to hide embarrassment? Saki’s not sure but she reads it as a cute response, stepping into Kotomi’s space.
“It looks good,” Saki says with a grin. She hooks her right arm around Kotomi’s left, causing their umbrellas to contact. “Now let’s go.”
“You don’t have to be so…” But Kotomi doesn’t push Saki away, so Saki keeps their arms linked as they head towards the restaurant for their lunch date.
