( ...Well, he was sitting in his room sulking a bit about his failed chocolates, honestly. But he was planning on watching them perform, and this all sounds nice, so it's not hard to convince him out. )
Hmmm... inside, then. A date sounds nice, too. Is it a surprise where we'd go? Let me straighten my hair a bit more, and I'll meet you wherever you say for the piano.
it's a surprise for me too! i'm the type who likes figuring it out with the person in question.
[ He actually has that answer on tap because they of course have interviews as idols and "ideal type" and "ideal date" come up often enough. Leo likes things like outdoors musical festivals and figuring things out with his date rather than preplanning a lot.
He sends the location of a piano with a nice window view but sort of tucked out of the way of usual foot traffic. While he can't find a lot of things Leo has the locations of all the pianos memorized. ]
so the dress code is whatever! i'm sparkly and red though~
[ He means he's dressed for idol work. Which seems to involve sparkly and red today. Apparently he's not changing out of it. ]
Red is my favorite. How lucky am I that this holiday suits me completely?
I'll see you there soon.
( And, as promised, he does show up! He's wearing pink rather than red, but that's just a shade of red if you ask him anyway. His hair is straightened, making it even longer than its normally barely-past-the-shoulders waviness, and he's tied it into a loose and low ponytail, a white ribbon accentuating it.
While waiting, he's absolutely looking over the piano with curiosity. )
[ It's a nice piano. Luxury casino hotel resorts tend to have those, even if many of the staff apparently can't really play them per the very first TDM, so Leo never feels bad about hogging one whenever he feels like it. Not like he'd feel bad anyway, but it does mean there's usually one open somewhere and that's all he needs.
References are Hard, but Leo shows up essentially in the kind of sparkly get up you'd expect of an idol with a themed gig: tight red slacks and a shirt with glitter to it, cut low and comfortable. For once his hair is more neatly braided back (not his doing) and he's got dangling heart earrings in and a matching choker, since he mostly only wears jewelry for gigs.
He looks more well rested than last time and also bubbly as hell, coming over happily to hug because he's just Like That with people. Throwing himself at his friends and those he likes is just how he lives; mostly people learn to catch him or shove him off. ]
Hey! I liked them a lot, they weren't bad. You actually looked up some notes, right?
it's ok I got a new job so I've been dying in a diff way SORRY ALSO
...Really? You're not lying, right? If you are, I'll get angry, you know?
( So he says, but Esikko is already smiling at the compliment, head held all high like he has any reason to be proud about those attempts. Well, they were pretty, at least... He knows that much, so he easily follows the topic of their design, quietly accepting the hug, and giving his own fairly delayed return. It's a little awkward, since he hasn't done much hugging in any of his lifetimes... )
Could you tell? I suppose you would be able to, considering your enthusiasm... Yes, I borrowed some books from the library and did my best. There were plenty of rejects in the process.
( Pulling back, he gives Leo another once over, an approving hum slipping out as he traces down along his braid. )
We don't have a day like this, where I'm from, so...
it's okay, i'm like. back again on my game now finally lord
Huh? I don't really do white lies or anything, you know? I mean, I'll lie about some things, but not this kind of thing. If I say I like something, I like it. If I don't like something, I'll just say so!
[ Usually pretty rudely, in terms of how blunt it can be. Leo is as Leo does. He's honest in many ways and the ways he isn't are more avoidance than anything else. He doesn't always like to address the things that are more difficult, but it's not like he says they aren't there all the time. He just talks about other things. ]
Anyway, this is a day that's common for us. Though, usually guys have more to do with white day, I guess...? For idols Valentines' does tend to be a thing where we end up making chocolates, though. Anzu organizes a bunch of events or whatever...Rittsu's the best from Knights at making chocolates, though. I prefer to eat 'em than to make 'em~!
