Hm. [Natsuno lets it out as a slight laugh. He tries to think and then snaps his fingers.]

I know, I can tell you how Tohru and I met. It's relatively amusing, as long as you're not well, me.

So we had just moved into Sotoba and I was taking the roads through the village on my bike and I got a flat tire. So I walk along the road and this guy is standing there, watering his lawn. He smiles and waves and tries to get my attention. Course, I don't want to talk to this guy, I mean, kinda weird isn't it?

[Tohru was too friendly for his own good. Literally.]

So I walk past him and he grabs the back tire of the bike and tells me that he'll fix it for me. Now I don't believe him, but he refuses to let go so I let him. Sure enough he has a repair kit and he fixes it right up. He asks for my name and I told him the usual thing, call me Yuuki or Koide. I never really cared which. He tells me, no, that's too confusing and to give him my first name.

I ignore him and walk away. So then I'm back down there a couple days later, walking my bike because again the roads are bad and the tire's out. I stopped in front of his house, I was just curious to see if he was out watering the grass again when he opens the door, points at me and says 'Natsuno', with the biggest grin, like he's come up with it or something.

[He smiles a little fondly.]

Truthfully though, he asked my mother.

[An eyeroll.]
