[huffs!!]

. . . mmm. I have a proposal about that, if you're willing.

[sapphirl]

Oh?

I'm listening.

[survivaltricks]

A standing dinner date, every evening from here on out.

So neither of us starve.

[slurps his ramen as he says this, staring her right in the eye]

[sapphirl]

[ she thought it might be something like that. ]

Oh my! Is that a request for us to go steady?

[ she's just being a Menace, as he well knows. ]

[survivaltricks]

[AS WELL HE KNOWS]

[with a COMPLETELY straight face]

If that's your definition of "going steady," then yep.

But you should know I'm in this relationship for the food.

[sapphirl]

[ she giggles at that, and then shakes her head mournfully. ]

I am afraid... I am not prepared to be your mistress, Akira.

I suppose we will have to keep this food-related proposition strictly business.

[survivaltricks]

[his lips twitch a bit at that]

A mutually beneficial exchange. . . I like it.

It's been a while since I've forged any new Confidants.

[sapphirl]

[ ....... what a mysterious way to put it. ]

How very debonair...! A "confidant", is it...? Well--I do hope I am able to properly have more of your confidence in the future, then, if we are to be confidants.

[survivaltricks]

[HOW MYSTERIOUS OF HIM!!]

That goes both ways, Musse.

[. . . he lifts his water glass in a mock toast]

You're an interesting person.

[sapphirl]

[ She lifts her glass in return, leaning to gently clink their glasses together. ]

Oh, I am a perfectly ordinary young schoolgirl... in the prime of my youth, and simply looking for the sweet taste of love...! ♥

[survivaltricks]

[A HUFF!]

That doesn't mean you can't be interesting.

[taking a sip of water, before putting his glass down and going for the ramen again]

Have you found it yet?

[sapphirl]

[ a wistful sigh! ]

Not yet... but I do hope my time will come. I would so love for a handsome boy--or beautiful girl--to sweep me off my feet.

[survivaltricks]

Like a fairy tale romance. . .

[sapphirl]

Precisely!

[ she claps her hands together. ]

Lovely, and sweet, and innocent... oh, but with a dash of spiciness--

[survivaltricks]

Only a dash?

[raises a DISBELIEVING brow]

[sapphirl]

What, exactly, are you trying to imply? ♥

[survivaltricks]

[giving her a POINTED STARE because. she knows]

[sapphirl]

[ .............. ]

I see... silence. You must be much too shy to give voice to those lewd thoughts you were having.

[survivaltricks]

I didn't say a word about lewd thoughts. Are you projecting now, Musse-san?

[CASUAL SLURP OF HIS RAMEN]

[sapphirl]

Yes, as established, you were far too embarrassed to commit.

[ ehe! ]

Would you like to know what I think you meant? I am not afraid to elaborate.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . DANGEROUS. . .]

[. . .]

[he meets her challenge with a tilt of his chin]

I'm all ears, then.

[sapphirl]

You believe I am looking for a relationship with much more than a dash of spiciness, which implies to me that you believe I am looking for someone who I can press my body close to--

[ she slides gloved fingers along her water glass. ]

--every last inch of theirs and mine intertwined--

[ she chases a bead of water down the glass. ]

--all breathless passion and intense desire, to the point that we are unable to keep our hands off of each other. Until there is nothing left but breathless gasps and and each other--



Or something like that, maybe? ♥

1/3

[survivaltricks]

[. . . why are her gloved fingers distracting. why does he find his gaze flickering towards them, entranced by the way they move against the glass]

[survivaltricks]

[survivaltricks]

[CLEARS HIS THROAT and tucks into his ramen, gaze averted]

N-- no, actually. . . that's pretty far from what I was thinking.

[HONESTLY, EVEN!!\
