Macchi flipped the page of one of Kanna's magazines. The picture was titled "Hotties!" Macchi tilted her head. A bunch of men with big muscles showing off. Wow. Now, Hao-sama sunbathing, that was something. But not these guys on steroids, no sir-ee-bob.
"Arrogant bakas…" muttered Macchi, tearing the page out of the magazine so Kanna wouldn't have to look at the pathetic men posing. The page drifted to her sleeping bag as she put the magazine next to Kanna's sleeping bag, and went to sleep.
A little while later, when Macchi was asleep, Hao came into the Hanagumi's tent and sat down in front of Macchi, and stroked her hair. He did this often on the occasions he was stressed out, and Macchi's peaceful face always seemed to calm him down.
However, Hao spotted a magazine clipping under Macchi's "pillow", if you could call it that. He pulled out the magazine page Macchi had been looking at before, and his eyes widened. He pulled up his cloak and gulped. He was skinny, and Macchi obviously liked strong men. This would be a problem…
The next morning, Macchi woke up and rubbed her eyes. She yawned and pulled out two elastic bands from her pocket put her hair up, before walking outside the tent, grabbing two water bottles, one for her and one for Kanna, who was out training again. What she saw surprised her greatly, and also confused her. Macchi walked over to Hao, who was doing pushups, counting out loud.
"1547061… 1547062… 1547063… 1547064…" Hao collapsed on the ground, panting. Macchi looked at the bottle for herself, and decided Hao needed it more, and tossed it to him. "Thanks…"
"Yeah…" said Macchi as she aimed, and threw the water bottle over to Kanna, and it landed in her lap. "Direct hit! Awesome!"
"Mmm…" moaned Hao as he finished draining the water bottle. He glanced over at Macchi, then at himself. There were some new muscles showing, and he grinned. "Hey Macchi, what do you think?"
Hao posed a little, and Macchi raised an eyebrow.
"As much as I like you not wearing a shirt, posing like an idiot is a definite turn off…" said Macchi with a grin. "And I like it when you mess with my hair, but you don't have to do it just when I'm asleep."
"Um… So I shouldn't wear a shirt and mess with your hair…" muttered Hao to himself, taking notes as Macchi walked off to go train. "Hey wait a minute… Wait for me!"
And Hao in fact did not wear his shirt and played with Macchi's hair, among other things, for the rest of the day.
