[ She removes herself from him - a little bit, at least. She's still loosely holding on to him a little bit, but she's enough removed from him to angle her head up so she can look at his face. ]
Even if it's in front of everyone? You won't get embarrassed? [ Because it's not like Minako to hold back because of silly circumstances like that, after all. Especially since besides how much she likes to ramble on about how attractive Makoto is, she doesn't really see him necessarily just as a guy or a potential love interest - he's just.. someone important to her outside of all that. ]
--but, it's fine, isn't it? Being the goddess of love and all it would be kind of rude to tell you to hold back on showing that you care for others.
[he says this so easily because he knows her interest in him is not "romantic", and love is not just about boyfriends and girlfriends, but friends and family, too. he's sure she understands.]
[ Now that's true nobility - resigning yourself to the fact Minako will embarrass you all over.. ]
.. Hmm, I'm glad.
[ Her first answer is pretty honest. It's easy to tell from her tone. It's not as spazzy, but more mature, like she really does feel glad to hear it from Makoto of all people. Having friends who aren't just with you by default because of destiny, having something that feels a little more like a family - it's definitely nice.
But of course serious moments never last long with Minako, and a moment later she's already clinging to him again and rubbing her cheek against him. ]
Oh, I can't believe that you're so perfect, Makoto-kun..! I feel like a mom who's going to have to give their baby away to their first love! Don't forget to come and hug me too sometimes when you have someone, okay?!
[ She does sound like one of those overly protective mothers even just in tone right now, really.. ]
[is this what it's like to not be the mom of the group anymore? makoto sputters a nervous laugh, and though this is a more traumatic tearful hug, he returns it nonetheless. he would be dumb to not know minako's dramatics by now.]
I promise that I'll hug you now and then even if I'm snatched away by my first love.
[it's like one of those dramas his mother liked to watch, isn't it.]
They wouldn't be worth the trouble if they can't handle us hugging, right? They've got to understand that what is important comes first.
[heh heehee]
...really, though, I'm very thankful to have someone like you in my life. [fake tears and all] So, things like these, they aren't a bother at all.
U-.. uh-huh! [ Still full of tearful dramatics, because those don't let up so easily - especially not since Makoto plays along with it so well too, there's no way she can just stop in the middle of the action then. It's probably impossible to pry her off him as she's clinging onto him right now, anyway. ]
If they're someone who can't accept me in your life as well, then I don't even want to see them around this place..! They'd break my heart!
[ This is her way of saying she feels the same about that last part, okay.. It's not even that Minako feels embarrassed saying that kind of stuff out loud - is there anything that does embarrass this girl? - but it'd just be weird in the middle of the melodramatics. ]
[he's so glad there's no more talk about helping him find true love and have him settle down fine and dandy once he turns eighteen. that's just something he... just remembered, and is quite happy he's without.]
Right! I'll definitely make sure to introduce whoever it is to you first, and if they can't accept you, I'll reconsider my choices.
[big words]
[but, well, he's rubbing her arms now. please don't cry (whether fake or not) so much now, minako... makoto's trying here.]
Hm, and I, know it's not my shift today, but if you need help with anything, since I'm here already...

That's a little embarrassing to hear...
[of course he's warm! he's alive!]
And though I'm not always one to take the initiative, if you ever want a hug, I'm alright if you want one without asking, alright?
[it's official; she's leveled up into 'family']
