[The first time Rise ever texted Hiro after the night they met, two things had happened.
1.) He groaned really, really loudly at the message that was littered with chatspeak and put the phone down to look at something else.
2.) Tadashi picked up the phone, saw that the text was (obviously) from a girl and proceeded to tease him about it for the next fifteen minutes despite how much Hiro whined and elbowed his older brother in the ribs to get him to stop.
So what if Rise was a girl? All Hiro had to do was look at Tadashi and say "Honey Lemon" to get him to stop and that was that.
Since then the pair of them have exchanged texts on a fairly regular basis. Maybe not daily but it was pretty close and Hiro had a feeling they were both doing it for similar reasons. They both knew the other would always answer (though truth be told it had taken Hiro a little while to really get in the habit of responding somewhat promptly instead of several hours later...) Likewise some people might be surprised that Hiro could ever get someone like Rise to keep talking to him, but he knew better. She wasn't just some idol. She had a real personality and she actually cared, which was nice. In a weird way she was sort of...sweet? Maybe? He didn't put a whole lot of thought into what Rise actually was, but at least now he could open a text from her without wanting to throw the phone across the room. Instead he just continues to spin in his chair, rolling his eyes fondly as he sends a reply.]
Nooo, I would never do that. How could you even say tha--Rise, what is that? Is that supposed to be an angry guy with a bruise on his face?
And because Tadashi maybe kinda sorta grounded me? Long story but I haven't found the tracking device in my clothes yet so outside's not an option. :(
[Sending emotes? It's really a testimony of how far he's come.]
