This was so frustrating.
It had at least been a good twenty minutes wasted as you attempted to crack a smile of the stubborn man!
It had become a daily routine for you to visit Nimbasa city, head directly to the Battle Subway, and tag along with Nobori, one of the two subway masters.
You claimed that you just wanted to see him battle challengers, and little did you know that you were starting to seriously enjoy spending time with him.
But…never once did you see him smile.
He has a twin brother, Kudari, who seemed to always be smiling, no matter what. While on the other hand, Nobori was always frowning!
It had been a daily routine for you to take the time to at least try to catch him smiling, or make him smile yourself.
So far…you had no such luck.
And while the two of you sat there, waiting for a challenger to show up, you insisted upon making strange faces, strange noises, and making jokes. All attempts to make Nobori smile!
"…Miss [Name], I would really appreciate it if you would stop that," he replied almost too casually to your antics.
You stopped stretching your cheeks to make a silly face only to begin pouting.
Folding your arms across your chest, you engaged in a staring contest with Nobori, who stared back un amused.
"Nobori! You're no fun at all!" You began whining, "Just smile already!"
He deadpanned.
That's seriously what all that nonsense was for?
"I really don't see the point in that," was his reply and he continued to stare.
You turned your head away, and continued your pouting.
Nobori tugged his cap down a bit, so it partly concealed his face.
He gave the slightest smile.
…Too bad you missed it. Better luck tomorrow then.
