Mirai stood in front of her mirror, pulling, poking and prodding at the dress she was wearing. It was a simple black design that let her tendrils move freely without the constraints she normally kept them in. She sighs and runs a hand through her long, purple hair. "I am not ready for this..." She mumbles and looks at herself. Make-up. She didn't put on any make-up. With a groan, she goes and digs out a small make-up bag and starts to apply a small amount of it to her face. "Just eyeliner..." she says. There's a soft meow coming from behind her. Glancing in the mirror, she smiles. Mirai turns and looks down at her cat. "What do you think, Izanami? Am I cute lady worthy?" She asks. The cat walks up to her, rubbing against her legs. Mirai smiles and crouches down to pet the cat. "Alright... I think I'm ready." She says and slips into her black heeled shoes. Grabbing her small purse, she slips the strap onto her shoulder and heads towards the door.
In all honesty, Mirai was genuinely surprised when Aoi asked her. It was sort of inappropriate, but there probably wouldn't have been a better time. Mirai can be enigmatic when she really wants to be. She fiddles with her purse strap as she rides the elevator down to the lobby of her apartment building. Her tendrils were wrapped around her body, despite them being out in the open. She worried about anyone hitting them... She worried about Aoi hitting them. Then again, Aoi did know about them and what they could do... So it should be fine, right? Right.
Mirai was absolutely distressed and nervous. She rarely wore her hair down and she was paranoid it didn't actually look good. She didn't have her hero gear on her, so if something happened, she was very limited. She even painted her nails for this. She walks out to the street and starts walking in the direction of the main park in the city. It wasn't far from her apartment. It was a brisk evening too, so it was nice for a walk.
The park was bustling with activity and people. There were some dogs there too, which definitely helped her calm her nerves. She stopped to pet a particularly friendly dog before heading towards the center fountain. She sits down on the rock wall and bounces her knee nervously. She digs in her purse, grabbing her phone and looks into it. Her reflection proved to be that she looked better than she anticipated. Also that she was right on time. Mirai takes a deep breath, looking around to see if she could spot the red haired woman.

Aoi looked herself up and down in the mirror, applying some light touches here and there. Today was the day of her date. After the recent turn of events, Aoi needed some sunshine in her life. Sunshine was relative in her world. She had to take care of her school work, bakery work, and her family. After the recent events, her work had doubled but something was always on her mind. The pro hero she worked with, Mirai Jo, during the event caught her eye. Aoi was not the type to openly lust after a person but she could not help but feel attracted to the woman.
Adjusting the tie on her kimono, Aoi wrote a quick note to her mother before leaving the apartment. As she was about to close the door, one of her cats tried to follow her. "Kringle, you can't come on my date. I'll tell you all about it though." The small cat gave a meow equal to her size. Stroking the cats ear, she gently pushed it back into the apartment. Closing the door, Aoi started making her way to the park where the two women agreed to meet.
Aoi had brought her small wallet which matched her kimono, she made observations of people moving about the city. A nurse coming home from her shift. Students heading to some hang out spot, some even familiar from her general studies courses. Eventually, she reached the woman she was going to have a date with (maybe more if there is a spark).
Giving the woman a small bow, Aoi introduced herself "Hello. I like to introduce myself in a less hectic manner I guess? I'm Aoi Sato. How are you doing this evening?" It was not her usual stern tone. It was sweeter and gentler than usual. She gave the woman a warm smile before adding "You look very nice."

The sounds of the park consumed her and Mirai occupied herself with her phone screen, poking through messages, social media, anything to keep her distracted. She was so nervous. The sounds of the park were definitely soothing to her at the very least. Taking a breath, she looks up and around, wondering if she was too early... They had agreed on a specific time. Mirai couldn't help the embarrassment that flooded her mind. She was a complete stammering mess. It was a wonder that Aoi even agreed to this at all after she saw that display. Embarrassment was replaced with panic. What if it was all a joke? What if Aoi was just teasing her or decided that this was a terrible idea after all? What if-
Her train of thought stops as her green eyes land on the red-haired teacher. Mirai stops and her breath hitches in her throat. Was Aoi always this... this... stunning? She forgets herself, lost in the beautiful elegance that was the kimono and ... there wasn't a single negative thing Mirai could point out on her.
"Oh...!" She says, returning from her train of thought. She rises to her feet, desperately trying to hide the blush on her face. She felt severely under-dressed at the moment and wondered if her outfit was much to risque. She subconsciously pulled it down by the legs. Offering a return bow to the woman, she composes herself as best she can. "Kaede Jo." She introduces and then stands upright with a warm smile. "Everyone calls me Mirai." She plays with the strap of her purse and doesn't bother to stop the blush on her cheeks. "You... you as well." She says quietly and looks down, still smiling. After a few seconds of Mirai simply calming herself, she looks back up at Aoi.
"It's really nice to properly meet you. Without the looming threat of a hospital coming down on us." She says and chuckles lightly. "What did you have planned this evening?"

Aoi gave a slight bow at the returned compliment. When she was still actively doing hero work, the gossip sites would often remark on her appearance or her relationship status. She knew the media had a great time when Aoi was seen with men, usually work buddies, in public. Dating, marriage and whatever else fit the bill was thrown at Aoi. This happened when Aoi had moved South to show off her hero chops after she became famous in her area. It was an interesting experience, AOi will admit that. Being seen as a famous hero was never on the woman's agenda when she was growing up but that did not matter at the moment. She was on a date and that's where her attention needs to be.
Smiling a bit, Aoi tried to remember the exact details of the date she planned. Dates tended to be a more casual affair for the woman but she did have some things in mind. "Well, I wanted to take a bit of a walk first. We can talk a bit. It's very nice outside so let's enjoy that for a bit. I did make a reservation with restaurant but I go there enough that they usually just have a table open for me." Aoi nodded a bit, before gesturing towards a certain pathway in the park. "Let's go this way."
"How have you been holding up the last few weeks. It was very stressful after all. I hate dealing with situations where people target the vulnerable." Aoi asked, wandering on the park path. She felt good about this.

She listened to the itinerary that Aoi had planned for the two of them over the course of the evening and was mildly surprised that it was as well thought out as it was. Mirai was absolutely horrid at long term plans and tended to just do things on the fly. She nods along, listening to her.
There's a pause as she asks about Mirai's well-being. The pro hero smiles at the red-haired teacher and chuckles lightly. "I've... I've been better..." She says and faces forward. "I love my work. It makes me feel like I am actually accomplishing something and making a difference in the world... though..." She sighs lightly, smile still on her face. "It is stressful... Most people in hospitals are innocent and helpless. I can handle myself and even some of my friends being targeted. We all can protect ourselves... but when you're trapped in a hospital bed, you can't do anything... and that bothers me."
Mirai looks down at her feet briefly and then back over at Aoi. "However, I will recover. How are you?" She asks gently.

Aoi nodded along, listening to woman carefully. It was good that she was holding up. She remembered some of her rougher days as a hero and they were not days that Aoi Sato looked back on fondly. Telling families that they were not able to save their loved ones or having to report that someone missing was not found, it all was very tough. There were positives to being a hero but the negatives sure did weigh heavy. Sighing, she pushed those days out of her head. Today was a happy day not a sad one. No need to dwell on something that happened years ago.
Smiling a bit, she gave a shrug at the question. "It could be worse. My students are going to give me grey hair before I turn 40 but other than that, I've been okay. Just worried about my students. They did the typical teenager thing and rushed faced first into danger with varying results. Add that to the regular drama 1-A has and it's a great time." Aoi gave off a small laugh before motioning at a certain path.
"You did a good job out there..." Aoi added, nodding to herself.

Mirai couldn't help the soft chuckle that passes her lips as Aoi talks about her students. It was something she almost wished she did in school. Act out more, had more fun. Kit had so much fun while they were there, but look where he ended up now. She derails that thought process right away. She always felt responsible, at least in part, for what happened with Kit. She takes a breath and follows the woman down the path.
"You... think so?" She asks, looking over at her. "I... was just doing my job... and I train as often as possible to make sure I can protect those around me..."
She couldn't help the soft blush across her alabaster skin.
"Though... I think your students were doing what they felt was best. If I were in their shoes, I probably would go against laws, too." Mirai says, thinking for a moment. "I have never been the rebellious type, but my mentor always taught me that sometimes the best heroes are the unlikely ones. The people we least expect. He told me that's why he took such an interest in me. So, I think your students have a great chance of becoming amazing heroes someday." There's another chuckle as Mirai faces forward, looking around them at their surroundings. "I know if you were my teacher, I would have been in the running to being a great hero as well."

Aoi sighed a bit. Giving her date a small smile, she said in a matter-of-fact tone "And? Doing your job and doing good at your job are different, especially in the hero world." Shrugging, Aoi kept walking along the path they chose. The night was young and she did not want to go sour so quickly, adding softly at the end of her statement "Give yourself credit. Being a hero is a tough job and you should feel damn proud for being one." Aoi winked at Mirai before paying close attention to a small owl that was sitting on a tree branch. It was sleeping and had no care in the world. How she wished she was able to relax so simply.
"I know. They did the right thing. I'm just worried that is all. I know if any of them would have died, there would have been hell to pay for the villains. Not to mention that one of the students that participated wasn't even in hero course at the time. " Aoi took a deep breath before smiling at Mirai. "Thank you, really. People don't compliment my teaching."
The wind felt nice against Aoi's face. Usually she hated the weather in this city so it being as pleasant as it was nice. Being on a date made the night even more perfect. Aoi was not sure why she was so enamoured with the other woman but she was. Stopping for a short bit, she pointed at one of the trees. "At my old school we had a suspicion that Japanese Oak trees were good omens for couples. I don't know why but that's what I was always told. Silly school girl stuff I suppose."

Mirai walks with Aoi, also enjoying the decent weather of the city. Though, she didn't really ever complain much about the weather. It was out of her control and wasn't worth wasting energy over in her opinion. The woman glances to her and raises a hand to rub the back of her neck. "I appreciate that... I sometimes wonder if I'm doing a good job... So it's nice to hear I am." She smiles at her and then faces forward again.
"Your students all seem like chaos engines." She says with a laugh. "One not in the hero course still fighting like they are... I love that." Mirai says and lowers her hand. Her tendrils move lightly and she flexes them, making herself more comfortable with them wrapped around her body.
She looks at the Japanese Oak tree and tilts her head to the side. "Good for couples?" She asks and smiles at the tree. "W-well... maybe this unlucky charm will be lucky enough to see you again after this." Mirai says, already present blush growing. Honestly, in all the things she could have said, that was not her smoothest line. In all fairness, Mirai had no idea how to be "smooth". She was just kind of saying things and hoping for the best.

The teacher beamed, getting the usual warm feeling she had about her students. She might not admit it but she cared for them. They were like music students and she was their music teacher. In some cases, she was their literal music teacher such as Futaba Himura. Regardless, she took pride in her students and that she had some part in raising the next generation of great heroes. "Yeah. I'm proud of them. I just don't tell them that too often." Aoi said, watching a few leaves fall down from the tree as the wind caught them.
Looking over at her companion, Aoi moved slightly closer. "People aren't unlucky. They are just waiting for their turn to be lucky." Aoi smiled a bit, looking over her companion a bit. Quirks manifested in weird ways. Her brother was a great example of that. He used to have red hair just like her but his quirk turned them silver.
Smiling a bit, Aoi said "And, maybe it is your time to be lucky..." Aoi muttered before leaning over and giving Miria a soft kiss.

To say that Kaede Jo was surprised when the teacher leaned over and kissed her was an understatement. Her face immediately turned red and she raised a hand to try and- fruitlessly- hide it. Mirai never had time for romance and relationships. She was too focused on her work and now she had the time to focus on herself. Admittedly, the butterflies in her stomach was a nice change of pace in comparison to the usual dread and adrenaline she had with her pro-hero work. The woman smiles and lowers her hands, reaching one out to hold Aoi's. Her hands were softer than they looked. Perhaps, it was her time to be lucky.
"Thanks for coming out with me tonight. Even if all we do is wander around the park, I am enjoying this."
There's a pause and Mirai chooses her lip in thought. "Not that it makes any difference, but my name is Kaede. Mirai is just a nickname that stuck and is preferable."
