This takes place in an AU, specifically, the Tour-of-Dora AU. Yes, I really called it that. So yeah, that's it for Rima's Shipping Graybles. What do we call this ship? Rikuto? whatever. It's not that important. Minna no Kokoro: UNLOCK!
Okay, so basically. This story is hard to explain but I'll try. Rima and Ikuto have joined forces to help them confess to their crushes. However, it seems that they have been developing feelings for each other themselves. Okay, now that I told you the background, here is the actual story. Rima and Ikuto were at the bon festival. Rima's kimono was green with her signature star and teardrop pattern, while Ikuto's kimono was black decorated with blue cats. Their plan was to get Nagihiko and Amu here so they can confess to them. But when they were there, neither the cool other half nor the amulet were nowhere to be seen. (See, this is what happens when I try to write purply) "Looks like Nagi isn't here" said Rima. "Neither is Amu-chan" Ikuto said. They looked around. "Hey, Ri-ri-tan" "Don't call me Ri-ri-tan" "While we wait, why don't we have some fun" said Ikuto. Rima stared at the certain blue-haired catboy, and then she smiled. "Okay"
The first thing that Rima and Ikuto did was so a sort of fishing game. They had to scoop up the most amount of goldfish until their scooper dissolves in the water. Rima did it, and was only able to catch one measly fish. "Hey, Ikuto?" she asked, "Do you want to try?" Ikuto nodded and she gave the scoop to Ikuto. Using his predator instincts, he was able to catch 13 fish. "Wow, that was good, Ikky" Rima said, "Don't eat those" Ikuto was indeed CHARA CHANGED and was about to eat one of the goldfish he caught. "Speaking of eating fish, wanna get some taiyaki?" Ikuto asked. Rima nodded. So they went to the taiyaki stall and bought some taiyaki. "Amu and Nagihiko still haven't come" Rima said. Ikuto nodded. "Hey, I think the Bon Dance is starting in a bit." he said, "Wanna watch?" "Sure, I have nothing better to do" said Rima. They took their sukerasparoj (Yes, I dropped some Esperanto in here) and went over to the yagura tower.
Rima and Ikuto watched. The Bon Dancers came onto the stage. And that's when they saw them. One of the Bon Dancers was Amu! And the other... well Ikuto thought it was Nagihiko, but on closer inspection, it wasn't him. It was just some purple haired girl. However, Rima did recognise her. It was Nadeshiko, Nagihiko's "twin sister". "So that's where she/they went" the both thought. They both stared at their respective dancers as they put on quite the show. Rima and Ikuto looked at each other. "They look cute over there" said Rima. "Yeah" said Ikuto. They realized they were holding hands. They quickly pulled away, before accepting them, and returned to the hand holding. Around midnight, they watched their lanterns float into their air with Amu and Nadeshiko, well, they were next to them, but they were kinda doing their own thing. "It's beautiful, isn't it, Ri-ri-tan" Ikuto said. Rima nodded. "Yeah, it is" she said.
