*** = listener speaking

Can be monetised, just please link back to either this post or my YouTube!

Gender(s) can be changed if wanted!

~~~

Heyyyy!

Sorry to disturb you, I was just wondering if… ah, just a moment.

…Yep. That’s the right name on the name tag!

You’re Shisei’s co-worker, right? You guys recently became friends?

***

Thought so.

Nice to meet you!

I’m her older sister, Ciuta.

…Well, older by about 3 minutes, but it still counts. In my book, anyway!

***

Yep, 3 minutes! Exactly 3 minutos!

Oh, wait, did she not tell you?

We’re triplets! Her, me, and our darling oldest sister.

***

Oh, no, it’s okay. Not many people realise anyway!

Well, they sometimes do with Nattie and Shishi, but that’s cause they take after our mother while I take after our father.

Those are my nicknames for them by the way - don’t worry, there’s not two extra secret siblings that you need to worry about!

Just us three~ well, right now, you only have to worry about me though!

***

Have we met before?

Hmm… you might have seen my pics online before.

Or magazines! I was on the cover of La Moda a couple of weeks ago, and Shishi told me you guys stock that.

***

[speaker laughs]

Yep, I’m that Ciuta! The up and coming ‘heart of the runway’, the model even other models idolise.

I’m surprised you didn’t realise sooner.

Shishi, like, constantly goes on about how proud she is of me.

But I guess if she didn’t mention us being sisters, she wouldn’t have mentioned my career.

Shaaame.

***

What do I want?

Right, right, I haven’t explained why I’m here yet! Gosh, silly, silly little ol’ me!

Well, Shishi has been telling all about how much fun you and her have been having together since you two became friends - you’ve basically been joined at the hip every day for the past two months - and I…

Drum roll please…

[speaker taps her hands on herself for the drumroll]

…just got curious!

[speaker laughs]

Yeah, there’s nothing special to it - you’re not in trouble or anything, don’t worry, I’m not about to go overprotective sister on you!

That’s Nattie’s job, and since she’s super duper good at it, I don’t want you to steal that away from her.

I just want to get to know you better, same as Shishi!

So, what do you say? Are you free to hang out right here, right now, sate lil’ ol’ me’s curiosity about good-looking ol’ you?

***

Oh dark, shmark! It’ll still be light out for a while.

Besides, who cares about where the sun’s looking? We have these amazing inventions called lights to keep our lands illuminated!

Or are you worried about that stalker thing? Shishi mentioned that to us the other day.

Relax! I am trained in several self-defence martial arts. And some offensive ones too!

Though don’t go telling people that. I’m not sure if they’re illegal or not.

So, I can defend the both of us if anything does go bad! I’ll even walk you home when we’re done, like a true gentlelady.

You can’t refuse now, can you?

I’m just the sister of your adorable new friend. I’m not gonna, like, drag you into a back alley and tell you to hand over all your valuables.

If anyone saw me doing that, my reputation would plumet and I’d be infamous instead of famous! I’d lose all my gigs!

Plus, people like that suck.

…Alright, alright, I can see you hesitating.

How about this - I’ll even throw in free food. Whatever you want, even from that expensive restaurant a few blocks over.

I can personally vouch for it! Nice staff, good food, great atmosphere, plenty of privacy because of its location…

C’monnnn, Shishi told me you were curious about the food there!

***

That’s what I like to hear!

[speaker hugs listener’s arm]

Hmm? What’s wrong with us linking arms?

Oh, were you expecting me to be like Shishi?

Sorry, I’m very different to her. I’m veeery touchy-feely!

You have very nice arms, by the way. They’re the kind a lady would love to always hang off of~

Plus, isn’t it better to have a lady hanging off your arm?

People will be very impressed if they see someone like me holding you like this!

***

I’ll tell you what I mean when we get to the restaurant, okay?

[the two walk and talk]

You don’t mind if we, like, take a table outside when we get there, right?

I mean, I figured it would help if we have to get away quick.

My coworkers normally hark on about exclusive booths and VIP rooms, but I feel like that takes away from the experience of eating out, y’know?

Like, hello, I wanna eat out for the experience! If I wanted to eat in private, I’d stay at home, y’know?

You get me, right?

***

Do you eat out often? Does your job pay enough for you to be able to?

***

Hmm… I guess that’s the drawback of working at a store.

Don’t worry, babe, like I said, everything’s on me. You can order whatever you want!

If you want, I can get you a position at my agency.

Thinking of you pointing a camera at me… I’m not sure why, but the idea is appealing.

Or maybe you’d rather be my modelling partner?

I think we’d look good next to each other, babe.

[speaker giggles]

You don’t need to answer right away. We can come back to it later.

Being on the other end of the camera has its own perks, but it also has its drawbacks, after all…

A lot of eyes on you make it hard to do exactly what you want.

[speaker holds listener’s arm tighter]

Going back to the original topic - what’s your favourite kind of food anyway? What dish is your fav?

Like, I assume it’s what they serve here since you wanted to go here, but I could be wrong.

***

Ooo, that’s a good one! I don’t get to eat it that often myself, cause, diet, ugh, but I’ve liked it the times I have had it!

Do you make it yourself?

Maybe you should cook for me next time~

***

Yep! Next time~

I’m liking you quicker than I thought.

Hmm… I wonder if Shishi would be mad if I stole you all for myself.

What do you-

…we might want to speed up a little bit.

***

Well… you know how you have a stalker?

You’re not the only one.

I think someone is-

[speaker yelps in surprise]

[punch noise]

Oh- oh my god!

Are you okay…!?

You…!

[fighting sfx]

[whispered]

You’re a good actor… but next time, try not to hit them, okay?

They can’t take it as well as I can.

[punch sfx]

[normal volume]

Hey, are you okay?

Your cheek’s pretty red…

Want me to kiss it better?

***

Oh, that?

[speaker laughs]

I told you I knew martial arts.

Now do you feel safer around me?

***

I’m glad. Took you long enough!

It’s a shame it took you getting hit to realise that…

…I didn’t expect you to jump in the way of the blow like that.

You’re braver than I thought.

Whoever said chivalry is dead is a dirty liar.

[speaker laughs]

…Hey, do you mind if I be honest with you?

[speaker sighs]

I didn’t approach you just because I was curious.

Big shock, I know!

…I’m sure she’s mentioned it before, but Shishi… doesn’t have friends.

That’s probably because of Nattie and I. We’ve always been overprotective of her… and because of that, she’s kinda lacking in the social skills department.

So when she came home saying she wanted to be closer with you, we told her to go for it.

But then big sister instincts kicked in and we were like ‘wait, what if Shishi’s wrong about how amazing they are and they’re a bad person, no one can take advantage of our darling Shishi!’

But I can tell now that you’re 100% a great person!

No worries! You have my tacit approval to keep hanging out with Shishi!

And me~

Say, once we finally get this restaurant date going, can we go on another date again?

***

Mhm! A date!

We’re taking a walk at sunset, we’re going to go eat out at a restaurant… you even defended me from a bad guy! That’s the most cliche romantic thing ever!

What was today if not a date?

I’ve considered it one from the beginning~

***

I mean, I said that, didn’t I? Let’s go on a date!

***

Hang out? No, I didn’t phrase it like that.

I said I’d like to hang out together and go on a date, but I definitely specified date.

[more yandere coming out]

You’re not going to reject me after all this, are you?

Even if I know you’re good for my sister and I, I still don’t know every little thing about you.

Are you the sensitive type? Cold type? Are you physically affectionate like me, or shy like someone else?

What kind of movies do you like? Books? Music?

What are your dreams? Hopes? Fears?

I feel like I already have a good idea… but I want you to be the one to tell me.

Tell me every single detail about yourself, even if you think it’s insignificant…

Babe, I want to know every last thing about you.

Tell me.
