Houtarou as... (Pt 3)

Prepare for some Oretanda.

[Pilot]

Houtarou: *over intercom* we're all gonna die.

Passengers: *starts screaming and freaking out*

Houtarou: All of us will one day, no one knows when.

Passengers: *stops and sighs in relief*

Houtarou: But it'll probably be when we crash into this mountain.

[Oretanda warning]

Houtarou: This job is so tiring. It's one flight after another. I'm starting to wonder why I even became a pilot.

Eru: Mhm! But without this job, we wouldn't have met!

Houtarou: E-eh, a..ah. Well, yes.

Eru: A relationship isn't autopiloted you know. And it takes a great amount of trust between two people to not hijack it. Looks like our feelings reached their destinated places safely, didn't they?

Houtarou: Honestly, I'll admit that what you said is true and lovely, but using pilot jokes on me...

Eru: Ehe.

A passenger tries, keyword: tries, to hit on Eru.

Note: Oretanda (are?is? I don't know which one to use😅 I'm going with are) married in this one.

Passenger: Hey, miss. You're, um, rather cute. Mind exchanging numbers?

A/N: I know this isn't going to happen because it's not possible, but I love the idea of someone emphasising that they're already in a relationship when they get hit on.

Eru: *pauses

Eru: *lifts hand up to cover mouth, just enough to let the passenger see the sparkle of the ring on her finger

Eru: *laughs lightly

Eru: Well, I'm not sure the pilot would like that.

It takes a moment for the passenger to realize what she meant.

Passenger: Oh, um, sorry. I didn't notice.

Houtarou just scratches his head when she tells him about it but deep down he feels so happy and proud that he might scream.

Featuring pilots Houtarou and Satoshi, stewardesses Eru and Mayaka.

Satoshi: Yo, Chitanda. Heard that a passenger tried to hit on you.

Mayaka: Don't bring that up in front of them in public.

Satoshi: Yeah. But I'm always up for good gossip.

Eru: I did hint that I was married though.
