Because people change their minds about things...and I don't know! Maybe you were shy about it, or you were busy or didn't want to be seen signing yourself up. There are lots of reasons people might not want to do it themselves. Someone texted me privately even because they didn't want to do it in person...

[Kuzuryuu cut her some slack. She's twelve and also hasn't known you for that long yet. She's still learning!]

[He knows but...AUGH. It's so frustrating to say one thing and then have people turn around and do the exact opposite.]

Well I didn't change my mind. I'm still not even remotely interested.

Okay, I'm sorry...from now on, no matter what it is or who I talked to, I'll talk to you before I do anything.

[She means it, too!]

Thank you. Though, for the record, that should be a general rule, not just something you do with me. And you still haven't told me who signed me up in the first place.

Yeah...okay [She just likes living in a world where friends won't do things that their friends REALLY wouldn't like without permission.]

But I kind of can't tell you that. I have a strict confidentiality rule! What if the person who signed you up secretly wants to date you, but they're too shy to just say it? Revealing who they are would be very insensitive.

[Oh Mabel, you sweet summer child.]

If somebody wants to date me, they should just come out and say it to my face. Pulling a stunt like this isn't what I'd call endearing.

While I agree with you that being forward is the best way to go about these things, not everyone can do that! I'm not trying to say it's endearing or anything, just that it'd be rude of me to tell you who it is if that's the case.

[A firm nod.]

[Sigh.]

Well I'm sure you have plenty of other deliveries to make, so I won't keep you any longer. Later.

[And with that, he starts closing his door...without actually taking the bag from Mabel. There seems to be another miscommunication here...]

Whoa whoa whoa!

[Sorry mister! She's leaning against the door a little to try and keep him from closing it.]

Hiko I'm not done with you! I still kind of need you to go to this thing!

[...dammit, he can't literally close a door on an adorable 12 year old girl.]

What, why? I told you...I didn't sign up, I can't bowl, and most importantly: I'm not interested. So why the hell would I go?

[Yes. Irresistible charm wins again. Let's see if we can't get another win in this conversation here.]

I know, but you're already being expected. You partner's going to be there waiting for you and if you don't go, that's really going to upset them! I have instructions, but you don't have to go bowling! You could just meet them there and then go somewhere else if you want!

[Dammit.]

...did you tell them my name already?

[Give in.]

No, I'm keeping everything a surprise...

Well then just send somebody else, what's the problem? I'm sure somebody who's actually interested in this crap wouldn't mind going on two different dates.

That's really last minute though. And they might not mind going on two different dates, but that wouldn't be fair to either of the people they'd be seeing.

[She's just going to give him the biggest puppy eyes she's got.]

Please Hiko? Even if you're not interested in dating, I'm sure you'll still have fun! You'll meet someone new so you'll make a new friend, you could learn how to bowl or go do something else you'd enjoy, it'll be great! I just know it!

[ He didn't say Hunt either!!! But boy, what a tough crowd... Jaune's running out of things to say that he doesn't think will get him killed. ]

I'll have you know my jokes have a 50% success rate as well! I think we just got off on the wrong foot here. S-Sorry...

...!

Wait! Could it be that you wanna date Peko, too!?

No.

[While he does have very little interest in dating, his reasons for not wanting to date Peko specifically go beyond that. The two of them are a whole different bundle of issues that he's not about to get into with someone who's an acquaintance, at best.]

She's just incredibly important to me. I won't stand for people not giving her the respect she deserves.

[Goddammit. Making eyes like that should be illegal.]

[He sighs and holds out a hand for the bag.]

I highly doubt it'll be great, but fine, I'll go.

[ Kuzuryuu's reasoning isn't lost on Jaune, with him having seven sisters of his own. But he's not here to prove that he's a decent guy, nor is he declaring undying love to someone he barely knows. If wanting to get to know Peko through a date or two is considered disrespectful, he will leave that for her to decide.

...But this is getting all too serious for a guy in hospital slippers and a guitar in his hands!! ]

W-Well... since she's not here... how about we play some Super Smash Siblings? I'm a pretty mean Jigglyfluff!

Or even a month... [Hinata sighs and moves to turn his attention to the sandwich, lifting it up and biting from it. After he's swallowed:] We can't expect it to end yet, either.

[...]

Ah, sorry, I meant to not talk about that today. [Guess what's on his mind it's not murder it's eye stuff.]

[Kuzuryuu unwraps his own sandwich, waving a hand dismissively.]

Eh, nothing to apologize for. So long as we don't stray back to it, it's fine. I think we've pretty much exhausted that topic for now, after all...

[There just doesn't seem to be much point in rehashing the same points over and over again without new info to add to them. He takes a bite of sandwich, chewing it thoughtfully for a moment before asking:]

So how're things going at the school? What do you teach over there, anyway?

[In both his conversations with Peko and Trucy about the subject of Hinata's job in the colony, somehow that detail never came up... He's kind of curious. And it's not like they have anything super important to talk about right now or anything.]

[The squeal of utter glee is the only warning Kuzuryuu gets as Mabel practically latches onto him in a tight hug.]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[Look at how happy you made her. Isn't it worth it?]

[Not really, no. But then again, there's not really anything that would make this worth it, in his opinion. He'd still rather not do this. That said, Mabel's got about ten seconds to enjoy that hug before she's being nudged away.]

So when is this and how long does it last?

It's this afternoon! [At some time which Mabel will tell him right now.] And it doesn't have a time limit, just whenever you guys feel like it.

[She lets go at the nudging, all sunbeams and rainbows right now.]

[There's a subtle brightening up in Hinata's face... oh, it seems like he enjoys the teaching gig.]

Mostly social stuff. Like-- cultures, what makes them, the differences in how people think. And, well, different worlds too.

I sub in occasionally for other subjects, too.

[IT'S NOT HARD putting aside the Hope's Peak-made genius thing aside, there's a lot he already knew from high school. Because he studied. A lot...]
