[ there's a call coming from a certain mukuro ikusaba to aoi's phone. when aoi picks it up, she'll get some muffled noises before hearing the following: ]

There's... a feeling in my stomach when I think about him. It is unlike anything I experienced.

[ more noises of her shifting around, it's very clear that this phone is in mukuro's pocket and she is talking to herself ]

It is improper. I am a traitor. I was of Super High School Level Despair. I cannot be infatuated with Kiyotaka-kun... it is not proper... he wouldn't like it...

[ and the call ends ]

oh my gooood

[glazedandconfused]

[UH

uhHHHhHHhhhHHhh

SHOULD SHE CALL HER BACK???? Maybe she should call her back

okay yes she's calling her back

this is a great idea.]

poor ishimaru

[iksb]

[ oh look, a call! mukuro picks it up. it's from aoi-san, but that doesn't stop her being formal. ]

Ikusaba Mukuro speaking.

[glazedandconfused]

[OH SHIT she picked up. People who did not think this through: Aoi.]

Ikusaba-san? It's Asahina. I think, um. I'm calling you back because I think you accidentally called me?

[iksb]

I did?

[ You can't see it, but Mukuro is blushing a deep red. WHEN DID THAT CALL GO THROUGH... BECAUSE IF IT IS WHEN SHE THINKS IT IS SHE MAY HAVE SAID TOO MUCH. ]

Oh, I apologise... Um. I assure you there is nothing to be concerned about!

[glazedandconfused]

Okay, I'm just...making sure.

[THIS IS

AWKWARD

here is the awkward pause.]

If there's every anything you need to talk about, Ikusaba-san...

[iksb]

... You heard everything, didn't you?

[glazedandconfused]

No! I mean--

[You know what it's a good time to do, it's time to LIE. Poorly.]

No, it was sort of hard to hear, but you sounded upset!

[iksb]

... Asahina-san, I can tell when you're lying. Your voice chances pitch and your tendency to repeat yourself becomes more prominent.

[glazedandconfused]

O-oh.

Well, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to!

[iksb]

I won't...

[ and then mukuro says quietly ]

I'd like to though...

[glazedandconfused]

Okay, um...

If you want, you can talk to me about it...

[GUESS WHO HAS BEEN RESEARCHING THIS WHOLE RELATIONSHIP THING. After very intensive marathoning of shitty romantic comedies, browsing websites, and eavesdropping on more obnoxious couples in public places, he is pretty sure he has this down. Time to go for it and set up a For Reals Date.]

Hello, Snookums. (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
Let us go see a movie together after school this Friday. One in a theatre instead of the dorms.

[He deletes and retypes it several times before deciding that this is just the way it's got to be. It still seems weird but whatever. SENT.]

[glazedandconfused]

[Snook…ums…

OKAY WELL who is she to argue, he probably went and researched it, and though she is an authority on hanging out with friends, she is not really an authority on dating. GONNA ROLL WITH IT.]

Sure! Do you know what you want to see?

[forgetbeam]

[Aoi do you really trust him to pick a movie after the whole Battle Royale thing

do you

Anyway he still doesn't know much about movies and does not want to pick something terrible by mistake. So.]

I will gladly watch anything that you want to. But if you do not know either, we will go with whatever is playing first when we get there.

[glazedandconfused]

[Look okay she already forgot.]

I'll check and see what action movies are out! Those are always fun.

[forgetbeam]

What makes action movies interesting?

[AREN'T THEY LIKE... full of explosions and chaos and bullets and whatnot.]

[glazedandconfused]

They're so fast-paced and exciting and sometimes things explode!

[Yep.]

[forgetbeam]

Explosions are not exciting.

[glazedandconfused]

What? Of course they are! Maybe not in real life, but in the movies, sure!

[forgetbeam]

I will give them a chance for you.

[glazedandconfused]

Really! That's great! You won't regret it, I promise!

[forgetbeam]

[SPOILERS: He compiled a mental list of every broken law and regulation he spotted in the movie and made it very known afterwards. Who's regretting things now.]

A DAY THAT IS WHITE

[forgetbeam]

[It doesn't matter if things are still really awkward or not (KITTY'S WHOLE LIFE IS AWKWARD), early in the morning of the 14th, a small lovingly prepared anonymous lunch box was left outside Aoi's door. Inside must be donuts and chocolates and stuff, right?

WRONG, IT'S RICE BALLS. Hey, some regions call them donuts, ask any Pokemon trainer. But they're heart-shaped, and not in that perfect cookie-cutter way, either. 100% hand-crafted. How adorable.

WHO IN THE WORLD COULD HAVE LEFT SUCH A THING, WE JUST DON'T KNOW.]

[glazedandconfused]

[wow look at these shitty rice balls

Luckily, Aoi doesn't care if food looks shitty as long as it tastes good, and these rice balls are sufficient. It is also, thankfully, not difficult to guess who they are from. A text!]

Thank you for the snacks!

[forgetbeam]

[SHITTY excuse you he is a pro at every shape except stars, thank you.]

You knew they were from me?

[glazedandconfused]

Who else would they be from?

[forgetbeam]

[For a second he ALMOST starts to type a snippy text about Mondo but he refrains.]

Nobody. I know they were not standard chocolates, but were they still acceptable?

[glazedandconfused]

Of course! I ate them already.
