Melody was taking longer than expected to get ready,not really a surprise on her part but she had been keeping Darren waiting for quite some time now so she texted him. "Come to my room, im not done getting ready so you can just come hang out here." as soon as she sent the text she continued to do her hair, combing it and blow drying it so that it would look nice. She was going to use Darren to take pictures of her visiting for the first time because she was a secret Otaku, or she told herself. She was more so just wanting to get out there and have fun and forget about the QED event and the horrible thoughts she was blocking out. Funnily enough the more she blocked it out consciously the more she thought about it.. It had been a while since she had received another letter from that mysterious stranger..maybe it was just a stalker who had enough of her? Oh well regardless Darren was going to be here any moment, she had music playing in her room that could most likely be heard from outside. It was the sound of a guitar and drums coming from her room, she was playing a song while she was getting ready and singing the lyrics as she was getting ready. Her voice was nice but not as good as it can be since she was never really taught by a teacher or anyone for that matter how to sing and she didnt do very much of it, but potential could be heard in her voice. should Darren knock on the door it would go unanswered since melody would not notice. She was too busy dancing while getting ready to hear him knock, the door was unlocked though so he could let himself in. Once he entered he would be able to look around her room, there was a simple bed with puffy light blue bed sheets and assorted anime figures on the bed shelve. In the opposite corner of the room (back left) there would be an assortment of seabunny plushies in a pile that acted as a cushion seat. In between the bed and the plushie pile was a desk that had pictures of her Mother, grandparents and beaches from home. Melody would be standing in front of a standing mirror as she was applying some make up to her face, not too much however cause she'd look like a geisha and she hated the feeling of make up on her face since she easily sweat in the heat and ruins it anyways. The room would look like a mess but an organized one! Dirty clothes were on the floor of the closet and random junk like jewelry and make up was on her desk, she'd have to sort that later and all of her homework was done and in a drawer to the right of her desk.

"Fine," Darren finally agreed, "I'll take you to Akihabara, now stop cluttering my DMs." It had made Melody mad. No matter how mad her made her, she always bothered him with stuff like that. The blonde delinquent sighed.
He went to his room to shower and change. He decided to play a game of Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Soccer Cars first. Maybe two. Maybe three. The third game went into overtime, and his phone buzzed and screamed for attention all the while. He royally ignored it. It was a good game.
He finally dunked on that fucking noob, and after a celebratory flip and insult shouted at no one, Darren threw the controller on his bed and went to shower and change like he originally planned to before getting distracted by flying soccer cars.
He came out wearing burgundy sneakers with white laces, a pair of dark blue plain pants and a red shirt under his leather jacket. He spent a minute or two tryna style his hair so it looked like he didn’t style it, decided it was too hard and a waste of time and winged it. A good old energetic towel rub on wet hair would surely do the trick. Fuck if he was boutta look like them Akihabara people in them fluo pants and leprechaun-ass boots and banana hairstyles.
He walked towards Melody’s room, telling her to shut up and that he was coming, and of course when he arrived she wasn’t ready. Of fucking course. He entered, critically examining the girly adolescent room, with dirty clothes on the floor and jewelry spread on the table while she was doing her make-up. There were plushies and anime figurines. So that’s why she wanted to go to Akihabara. Darren walked up to her, grabbed her shoulder.
“Yo, I’m here, stop singing that candy-ass song and painting your face and let’s go,” he said. |

Melody had finally gotten him to hurry up, she was sure he was one of those types of boys who took forever to get ready despite her being 100% wrong and he was ready WAYYY ahead of her. She sent a simple "Fuck you" in response to his rude messages, it was true she was pestering him to go but he was one of the few people who was actually willing to spend time with her and she was happy he said sure.She didnt hear him come in until he was already behind her and he laid a hand on her, she let out a screech heard over the music and immediately took off her sandals she had on and tried to nail him on the head with her shoe. The contents of her screaming were consistent of various curse words in spanish sorta all screamed with no breath in between her words
"CoñoHIJOPUTAFUCKINGDIEALREADYYOUPIECEOFSHIT." she screamed all in one word while swinging her chancla full force at him, she was scared that day because of her dreams as of late and the QED trip she had made her especially jumpy. Once she realized it was Darren she placed a hand over her heart. "Oh..its your..God damn it Darren..you scared me.." she said inn between breaths, her heart was racing from the sudden adrenaline. She took a moment to catch her breath, and kept a serious scared demeanor about her for a few moments. "Alright im almost done...just give me a sec in the bathroom." If he paid attention to her face he could see some bags under her eyes, she was trying to cover themwith make up. She shuffled her way slowly to the bathroom in her room.
She locked the door behind her and sat on the toilet for a second with the seat cover on top trying to catch her breath, she gathered herself together and finished getting ready. She kind of slapped her face and focused on her reflection in the mirror, hiding the pain from that event for so long was taking an emotional and mental strain on her...When she came out of the bathroom she would be wearing the black dress she bought when parading the shopping district with Miku and Akio, and totally not because Akio told her Darren would probably like it. It was a simple black dress that complimented her curves and had a slight on the thigh, it wasn't too fancy and it was this weird gray area between casual and formal. "Is..is this too much?" she asked him for his opinion
Once he answered the both of them would head over on the train to the Akihabara district and melody would be 100% entranced by it, she had never seen ANYTHING like this before, in america it was rare for people to see stuff about anime out side of cons and specialty stores and the internet. BUT HERE, IT WAS EVERYWHERE "darren look! they have one of my favorite anime merchandise here!" she said running over to a store that had a viewing glass showing figma's of her favorite character from a magical girl show when she was younger. it was a girl in a white skirt dress with pink accents and a bow made out of a tree branch, next to the that figma was some Mecha anime figmas that were pricey as well.

Holy shit did he not expect that reaction, but then again, he remembered, Melody's ignition was barely a quarter of a turn, and she went 0-100 REALLY fast. It was all he could do to shoot his hands in the general direction of the deadly weapon that the Cuban bluenette wielded and avoid taking hits to the head. “GODDAMNLEAVEMEALONEWITHYOURFUCKINGSANDAL,” he screamed back. She stopped when she recognized him. “God damn, you look like you’ve seen a ghost. You knew I was coming, ain’t ya?” She looked tired too, but he shrugged it off to a bad night of sleep. Maybe that’s why she was scared. Girls hated to show these things, and there was a good deal of makeup on the table. He decided he was right and really smart for figuring this out. She disappeared into the bathroom for a while and came out in a black dress with a side slit. It looked very fancy, especially next to his sneakers and plain shirt and leather jacket. He looked her up and down, staring as much as a request to examine a dress allowed him to and shrugged in answer to her question. “Nah, you definitely won’t be the weirdest person in Akihabara. You’ll see when we get there.” When they did get here, he said “See?” because there were two people with colored hair in front of them and a girl dressed in all pink with a dress and umbrella, exactly like a doll. Not two seconds of looking at the crowd and a goth chick with her boyfriend sporting a purple mohawk came into view. “Welcome to Akihabara,” he said, but Melody was already nerding out. He sighed. She dragged him to a store that sold magical girl figures. He did recognize the robot next to it. It was an old one from an old anime, with a rounded and blocky design. “God damn, that’s the Bazinger-X! I used to watch the shit out of that when I was a kid. God damn, it’s old as fuck. Look at that price too. They’re crazy. What kinda fuck has that much money for figurines?” |

She ignored Darren's protest and almost went 'REEEEEE' when attacking him, he knew the lethalness of la 'chancla' in the hands of a latina. She also shrugged off the comments of her looking like a ghost "Yeah...i forgot, i got distracted..." she said moving to turn off the music she was playing so that she could hear him better. Melody was then confused by what he said about not looking weird, "What do you mean?"
~timeskip to akihabara~
"Ohhhhhh THAT'S what you mean.." she said as her response to the WEIRD couple she saw as Darren singled out the doll girl and her equally weird looking boy with her...Wait a boy and a girl hanging out alone together?? Wait a second...she turned and looked to darren while he wasnt paying attention and her face turned red, 'Oh fuck am I on a date?' she thought to herself as she began to panic and slapped her face with both hands to not only make the redness go away or be able to explain it a bit but to wake herself up as well.
She looked at the figma figure for a few moments...but to melody it wasnt really pricey, then again she lived her life comfortably so to be honest nothing really looked that pricey to her...but it seemed like Darren couldnt afford it...interesting.. She began to plot a plan in her head for later regarding that Figma "It looks pretty cool...I havent watched that anime before I think.." She looked at the magical girl Figma again and decided what she would spend her allowance she gave herself this week on. She waltzed into the store and bought the magical girl Figma, she saw as a souvenir but she also wanted to buy the Mecha figma for him as a present...but she didnt want darren to know so she could surprise him. she had to distract him somehow and she knew there was a sure fire way to get him to become distracted "Darren look! That girl's barely wearing anything.. Oh my god she's really brave to be wearing that in public, she's practically nude." She said pointing into the crowd of people who were walking around but really there was no one there who would fit that description
As soon as the blonde delinquint was distracted she gave the number for the the Bazinger-X AND her magical girl Figma on the display for the man to unlock the display and to wrap them up in a bag for her so it wouldn't be seen by him. She handed the cashier a credit card and put a finger over her mouth to signal to the cashier to stay quiet. Once outside of the store her stomach growled a bit as they walked towards a street waiting for the sign to change to let them cross it. "Hey Darren is there anywhere here to eat? Im in the mood for anything you recommend." Her foodie side was peaking and she was starting to get hungry, she was a picky eater at least and enjoyed most of the food in Japan. Once the street light changed to green her hand had intertwined with his unknown to her, it was an unconscious movement she was used to do when she was out shopping with her mom. Boy, did she set herself up for this one, her mother was not even that strict about it, MELODY was. Once they crossed the street she realized what she had done and kind of stared at him...she was stunned. "Oh.." she didnt know what to do next.

For some reason, the blue-haired girl slapped herself on both cheeks. Darren’s left eyebrow shot up in answer. Evian Girl was weird sometimes. Maybe Akihabara was too much of a cultural shock to her. He shrugged.
At the store, she nerded out. He accommodated her with the same shruggy attitude. If he was to be here for a while, then he could at least check out the cool robots. Or the girls, as Melody so readily suggested. “Where?” he answered, darting his gaze to the crowd instantly. “I mean, which one?” There was a girl with a minishort and a crop top, another with a skirt short enough to give a nun a stroke, and a third one was just walking around in a bikini. Must be a cosplay, Darren reasoned, peeping all the same.
“Them cosplay niqqas are weird,” said the student at superhero high school who was exchanging sketches of his future hero suit with Mari from their class just yesterday.
They finally got out of the store, and Darren spied a bag in the corner of his vision with a judging look. Damn, that girl must be loaded, the store brand chips enthusiast thought. And now she was hungry. When she asked him about where to eat, his first thought was for the 500 yen ramen cart a couple blocks away. He figured she was probably a foodie, though. She’d probably complain about his beloved cheapo ramen.
Eh, who cares? She said ‘anything’, and you could hardly do more a e s t h e t i c than a ramen cart. Foreigners always thought it was some charming luxury too, so he decided to bet on that. He was in the mood for a good old tonkatsu. “Follow my lead,” he said. “You’re about to see the crown jewel of Asian street food.”
On the way there, they stopped at a street light. He felt something grab his hand. He looked down; it was Melody’s. He looked up at her. She was stunned and stared at him with an ineffectual “oh.” Was it the latin fire he heard about? How do latin fire even worked with Evian girl? He pondered these questions, raising his hand and hers at eye level and crossing his eyes at it, on purpose, or maybe not.
“Nani nani?” was the first idiotic thought to cross his brain and get past his lips. |

Melody tilted her head and looked at the cosplay people she had seen as well, they were very strange. "True but eh, everyone in the world is weird to someone else. A lot of people in america think the Japanese are extremely strange...I think they're just misunderstood, majority of the people in this world are misunderstood." she said commenting on the matter, letting him take a peak at her views on things. She was a very accepting person and not many things really phased her unless she thought it was morally incorrect like hurting someone or something of that nature. She did however get a bit tiffed by him oogling the girls just a SECOND too long for her taste. She tried her best to hide the annoyance since technically she did point them out to him. She wondered if she'd be able to get away with hiding her true feelings around Darren, she had pretty good poker face since growing up around high class types meant always hiding true intentions. She felt bad for lying to Darren about how she was actually doing when he asked earlier.. it was the first time she actually felt guilt for it. Should she divulge to him what was going through her mind?
Soon after Darren had heard she was hungry it seemed like he was as well, he was taking her to the "Crown jewel of Asian food?" She asked curiously as he began to lead her to the location that he clearly valued a lot. He seemed a bit excited to go to this place he had this gleam in his eye that made her smile too, she was glad to see he was having a good time so far too. "Where are we going? What kind of food are we gonna eat?" she said asking about what he had in mind.
Now back to your regularly scheduled program of kids not knowing what the fuck to do. She watched as Darren stared at her hand intertwined with his fingers. She began to freak out a bit, she watching in horror as he raised both of their hands and proceeded to immediately leave her floored at his reaction as he uttered those damn words. Nani nani? Her face immediately turned red and she kind of just stared, just as clueless as what to do. "Uhhh...." she said at a complete lose for words. "I just- I mean I was tryin- I." she said trying to spit it out. "Im sorry...did I make thing awkward? I didnt mean to, it just kind of happen..I.. wasnt really thinking.. It was a force of habit.." she said as her voice got more and more quiet, for once the fiery latina spark inside of her was put out, she didnt have anything smart or witty to say. Her head was just filled with voices yelling at her calling her stupid and making her regret her actions. She felt like an idiot, she didn't hate holding hands with him but she felt really stupid cause of how it looked. She LIKED holding hands with him but how did he feel about it? that uncertainty filled up every crevice of her brain as anxiety as that began to become the one thing she focused on. "I mean it's not that I didn't like holding hands with you, I did, it was nice, you have soft hands, but-" she said immediately realizing what she had just said out loud as her eyes widen with shock. 'FUCK' she said in her mind trying to play off the situation as she used both hands to hold the bag in front of her as she looked down.

“Yeah, the crown jewel of asian food. You’ll see.” He smiled. Delicious delicious street cart ramen.
It was then that the whole handholding incident occured, and Darren answered the only way he knew, with a meme. To say that he handled the situation well would be falling for his trick. The truth was, Darren had no idea how to deal with girls flirting with him. He had no idea how to deal with the playful Yumi at first, and his being a bumbling fuck prevented him from being, well, a fuck. With Hayley it was the same, and the girl wasn’t any better at it. He told himself that was because of the bees and they scared him, he who was fascinated with how exactly she functionned as a living beehive.
He was equally curious about Melody and her Evian Girl quirk. It was part genuine, childlike curiosity, and part much more twister and much more adult-like curiosity. He was a teenager, after all. A teenager raised in a word where catgirls were real. Some might say paradise.
From the moment when she grabbed her hand to when she bashfully said it was nice and his hand was soft, she had been sending a clear message that the delinquent received 100%. It was not the first time he had been hit on, however clumsily. And just like every time, he lost his usual composure and the cracks in the facade of his bravado was exposed: Darren had no idea how to girl.
He just lost his quick tongue and his cool head and the organization of his young brain was thrown into disaster. Every single detail of his posture suddenly felt weird, every word a poor choice, every second longer than the one that came before. He was sort of used to it now, and could crash-steer himself into the softer walls of the difficult course he was forced to take now on his journey through life; right now, he was on a bumpy as hell mountain roads with ravines on both sides.
“It’s uh, it’s alright. Soft hands, though?” He looked at his own hands. Quick, a change of subject! “Levi says I have bitch hands.” Yeah, bring up the girl you hang out with in the music club, great idea. “Erm. I mean, they should be callused and hard.” Yes Rocky, you’re so manly and strong, congrats on blowing yourself. “Er… Because I fight all the time and I play bass, you know?”
His brain commanded a status report. It came out as a sheet of paper with a single word on it: “Fuck.” |

that smile, that stupid goofy idiotic smile, as much as she said she hated it the opposite feeling was closer to the truth. She liked...no loved his smile for some reason. Maybe because he was similar to her yet different in all the right ways? Well it was difficult for her to put into words but melody was envious of how he could live to relaxed and care-free, not really worried about the future and what it held in store for him. Meanwhile she was terrified, she couldn't sleep lately without taking her melatonin gummies, and her confidence in herself was suffering because of it...but maybe Darren wasn't as perfect as she thought he was? After all apparently all it took to defeat him, and herself for that matter was simply holding his hand.
Well she defeated herself too since being intimate with someone wasn't exactly something she had experience before and she had no idea how to proceed...thankfully Darren said something rather interesting about some person named Levi saying he had bitch hands. She didn't entirely understand what it meant but she kind of got the gist of it. He was panicking...did he like her too? Why would he freak out otherwise? Ohhh...this was hard...melody had a pain in her stomach nervousness combined with a lack of food in the tank made it hard for her to focus. She took a second to breath in and remembered some advice the only woman in her life gave her "Take a moment to find yourself and ask if this is how you fall apart." and melody's answer to that was no
She was still holding his hand, "Well then your hands are pretty resilient...I like holding your hand. You dont mind do you..?" she said in a really out of character moment for her, she wanted to try this whole..being brave thing. "Besides I think bitch hands is better then calloused hands. Besides it kind of fits you, a rebel having rebel hands that refuse to become calloused despite his best efforts to make them become rough." she said wondering if he'd agree with her.
She saw the Ramen cart around the corner of the street and instantly bolted to there in amazement. "Oh my god it all looks so amazing...what is that? And that?" she said pointing to random things at the cart to Darren wondering what to ordering. Then it slipped out of her mouth "Wait...Darren..." she said turning her head to him "...What's Ramen...?" she said in a clueless tone waiting for him to explain it to her this was all new to her, she never really ate japanese food before coming to U.A and her mother refused to let her eat regular food since she was not a "commoner". '"You order for me, this is your world so im putting my faith in you" she said waiting for him to handle it since this was something she had never experienced before, she was excited for it regardless, she loved trying new stuff.

“No, but… I want them to be calloused. I need them to be calloused. You know? It protects my skin and shit.” Now he was looking as his hand, feeling the skin around the knuckles. It was calloused indeed. Did she mean the palms? Did he have soft palms? Did he need to practice his palm strikes more?
The boxing glove inside Darren’s brain managed to pull him out of his panic by changing his thoughts to fighting for a moment. It refocused his neurons back in their normal state and allowed him to take a decision. Dad said to play it cool, so play it cool. “Yeah, uh, rebel hands, sure.” He punched his palm. “And its with these hands that I’m gonna become a pro. And a damn good one.” He was finding his confidence back. He lifted his head and chin, and continued with a sideways look and a snarky tone. “So no, miss Aquatica, I don’t mind if you need me to pull you up to help you reach the top,” he said, referring to the hero naming class they had a few weeks ago.
Anyway, they were reaching the ramen place. It worked perfectly. The appeal of the good old japanese ramen cart worked like a charm on foreigners. Play the foreign card, said his father in his head. Shit up, he thought.
“Well then, give us two tonkatsu, old man.” He got out his wallet to pay. Pride wouldn’t let him have his cheap ramen paid for by Melody. “Cmon, let’s sit.” There were two stools in front of the cart. The ramen would be quickly served, and the two adolescents would left to eat together, alone in front of the chef quietly working behind his stand.
Fuck, thought Darren. I forgot about that. Dad said that if she starts running her foot against your leg, its jackpot. The thought activated natural mechanisms of Darren’s body that the adolescent didn’t really wanted to be working right now.
This meal was gearing up to a tough match on home ground. |

"That's true. It would constantly hurt if you didnt have calloused skin...my feet SHOULD be calloused from dancing but apparently my quirk helps keep my skin moisturized enough so it doesnt." she said recalling that little tidbit about her quirk's features, however he reminded her about how he wanted to become the top hero too and was referencing the hero names in class previous. "Pffft yeah ok bitch hands, be careful if you try pulling me along you just might drown in my success." she said trying to be witty.
She watched as the man prepared the ramen bowls, it looks somewhat simple to learn but like a difficult thing to master after years of practice. The man handed them the bowls with the tonkatsu on it and it looked amazing but she was hesitant to try it, was there a special way of eating it? "Uhhh thanks for the meal." she said thanking the chef and darren for giving her this food. She hesitated to try it at first would she drink the broth first? Or should she eat the noodles, what about the pork slices? ugh she was thinking too hard she decided to dip the soup spoon and try the broth first. "Its..it's really good! I've never had anything like this before..it's so different." she said sounding pleased with the food. "Also what kind of pork is this? It's different from american style pork...is it because of the broth? it's delicious." she said as she placed another one of the pork slices in her mouth while smiling at him.
She turned her head to Darren as she placed a piece in her mouth "How's yours?" she said placing another piece into her mouth as the broth she recently downed was beginning to warm her up inside. "How did you find out about this place by the way? with family?" she asked curiously wanting to know more about Darren
