Groovy Tunes; Friday [ 06/06 ]

Not that Chad didn't believe in giving things up for your art, but he had to admit to be glad to being able to immerse himself in an art that was a little more comfortable than what fashion had proved to be yesterday. He sat behind the counter with his guitar, idly plucking along to the music between customers and other, most likely managerial business.

Today's Mix: Sex Blurred Weekend

No, the mix wasn't going to be applicable; it was just a good mix, dammit.

Groovy Tunes is open!

He's playing, but certainly wouldn't mind interruptions.

Or accompaniment.

Hinata slipped in, glad that today, at least, Chad-san would be wearing more, and paused at the sound of the music.

She smiled at that. He'd been playing at the picnic too. She drifted closer, silently, not willing to distract him in the middle of a song.

They were both rather glad for the fact that he was wearing more today. His playing not ceasing and, in fact, his attention seemingly still on the strings, Chad greeted her with a soft rumble. "Hey, Hinata-san."

She bobbed her head. "Good morning, Chad-san."

No stuttering even, she smiled more at that.

He noticed; it got a little grin started in the corner of his mouth as he continued lightly playing. "How are you today? Here to get more dancing music?"

"Mostly just visiting, before heading t-to the beach later," she admitted, though she had no intentions of actually swimming at the beach. "t-though music isn't a bad idea." Some stuttering, but less. The smile remained. "I'm well though, and you?"

Well, yesterday was over, so...

"Good. A little bummed about having to be here tonight so I miss the festival, but I skipped last week for the France trip, so I couldn't do it again, you know?"

"It doesn't start until the evening t-though," she pointed out, "you could be here m-most of the day, and just close a litte bit early, right? M-Most people would probably be at the Festival anyway so it'd be quiet..."

Chad shrugged. "I could; I am the manager, but I don't know. I don't want Melody to think I got lax while she was gone."

Hinata nodded. "That's true too," she admitted. "Though I w-wish you weren't alone for the night when everyone will be at the b-beach. That s-seems lonely."

"M'not alone," Chad said, smiling a bit more than he usually would have. "I've got Prince Oscar Pedro."

But Hinata's point only reminded him of the fact that, normally, he would have had Teddy around to keep him company, too. But he didn't mind, really. It was okay...

She flushed a little. True enough, but Prince Oscar Pedro wasn't human company however sweet he was.

"I could keep you company if you'd l-like?" Hinata offered. "I wouldn't m-mind."

And she wouldn't really.

"But then you'd miss the festival," Chad pointed out. It wasn't that he wasn't touched by the offer, but he'd feel terrible knowing that Hinata wasn't there enjoying it when she could be.

She smiled, this time ruefully. "I'd probably s-spend most of it trying not to talk to p-people."

"Maybe," Chad said, "but there's still food to enjoy, and the weather, and there's probably some cool stuff, and music."

Pause.

"There's music here, too, I know, but it's not the same when you could be enjoying it live and stuff."

It was a good thing Hinata was fairly sure that he was more concerned about her missing out than the idea that he didn't want her company.

"Y-You're playing live too," she offered. "And if the b-beach is still there tomorrow I can go and look and not have to w-worry about all the people."

For someone so soft-spoken, Chad had to admit that she was at least persistent, and that it was kind of touching that she'd want to stick around with him being boring and playing and listening to music, and he grinned a little. "I'm more likely to still be here tomorrow than the beach is," he reminded her softly.

She's learned persistance from the boy she likes.

And quiet had never meant she wasn't determined. Hinata was still puzzled over Sokka's surprise that she could be a ninja with her demeanor. What did that have to do with anything?

"P-Perhaps," Hinata agreed, folding tucking her hands in her sleeves and trying not to play with them. "If y-you'd rather I go, Chad-san, I w-will. But if y-you'd rather I stay, I c-can do that as well."

Chad gave her a soft smile. "I know you said you wouldn't mind," he explained, "but I'd feel real bad thinking I was holding you from having a good time, just to keep me company."

"I'll go t-tonight then," she told him, "b-but only if y-you're sure." She wouldn't want him to feel bad about her staying if he wanted her to go, but at the same time...

Chad nodded. "I'm sure. Maybe next Friday, though, when there isn't a nice beach festival to attend, you can come keep me company."

She smiled. "I'd like that," Hinata told him. "I would."

"It's a plan, then," Chad agreed, nodding. "An' you can bring me back something from the festival. Like...a coconut, or something."

She would, as soon as she figured out what a coconut was.

Hinata figured the natives would be happy to help her with that question though.

She giggled, just a little. "Anything e-else you'd like?"

Chad considered this carefully.

"Maybe a smaller coconut for Prince Oscar Pedro."

Awwww.

"I'll do my best," she promised him. "B-Because he shouldn't be left out e-either."

"He'll really appreciate it."

"I'm s-sure he will," she said, with a soft laugh. "T-Though not as much as he enjoys being p-petted, I bet."

"I'm not sure there's anything he likes better than that," Chad observed. "You can bring some of those back for him, too."

He ducked his head, so the next part could come out in a rumbled, secretive whisper, "And some on your way out, too."

She pressed one finger to her lips, supressing giggles. "I will," Hinata promised in a whisper of her own. "H-He'd never expect that."

Chad just nodded his head a little in the silent agreement of the surprise attack of petting that he knew would be very appreciated by the cat, and was appreciated by him, as well, in the fact that it amused him and it was cute, and it was nice that Hinata was so sweet.

Please to not be stepping on the kitten still enjoying the sun.

..migraines are the suck. *pouts*
