[Don't worry. There are no blue lotuses on the blue jacket or green carnations on the green one, which means she can't have been eavesdropping!
Though there is a sunflower stitched into both sides of Hiyori's jacket. The ideal flower for him is just that obvious, apparently.]
She does dress rather nicely. I guess this must mean she makes her own outfits.
[Still. Sewing something for yourself (or for a profit) is one thing. Sewing something from scratch as a gift is quite another. Especially when the recipient is someone you hardly know, plus the partner of someone you hardly know.
Seeing the two outfits side-by-side, however, makes Hiyori feel certain of his hunch. Jun expresses doubt, and then shows even more disbelief at his "showing off your muscles" suggestion. Why, he almost sounds defensive! As though he doesn't take pride in his muscles, and wasn't parading around shirtless at the beach! Perhaps Jin Mingming noticed his muscles even from a distance, while he was fully-clothed, and thought he should show them off sometimes! Just like Weiss-chan and (ugh) Monika-chan.
Setting aside how likely that is to actually be the case, though, Hiyori can see her reasoning for giving them both a gift. He lays it all out in a matter-of-fact sort of tone.]
Well, putting aside your muscles for now, we're meant to be "two souls in one," right? Or "two hearts beating as one." Which means you're my other half, more or less, and I'm you're other half. And I'm always saying Jun-kun is my possession, because it's true! So if you're going to get me a birthday gift, I guess it sort of makes sense to get something for you too, since you're like a part of me.
[This may or may not have sounded completely insane, but Hiyori seems to mean every word of it.
He does frown a little, though, eyes gazing back down at the fabric, focusing this time on the blue suitjacket. Jun's jacket, if his theory is correct. But why did she do something for Jun-kun? Is it really because they're "two souls in one"? Did he ever tell her he saw them that way? He thinks for a moment about what he did tell her, before slowly starting to continue.]
I didn't call you my other half in front of her, though. Or my possession, for that matter. But I did say we're "beloved partners." So perhaps that's what inspired her to get me something we could wear together.
[He looks between the two outfits, wondering now about how they'd look wearing them. How they'd look wearing something that matches, just like their matching stage costumes, just like the matching beachwear they wore to Weiss's soirée.
Then he looks up from the clothing and smiles.]
There's only one way to find out! We just have to try them on, right? You'll try on the blue one, I'll try on the green one, and we'll each see "if the shoe fits" ♪
