[ SHE'D DO IT TOO NO HESITATION!!!!

and

she doesn't reply, not knowing how to. who cares if it isn't fair? the only person she wants to choose her is

(but if he finds someone he likes too, that's the end anyway. back to being a loser.) ]

... Speaking of that, we shouldn't go into the Truth Booth next.

[willandaway]

[suddenly taken aback. the logic will make sense to him in a bit, but for now. . .]

Ah. . .? Why not?

[makeine]

Seriously, Will-kun? Because the suite has no cameras.

[ she's seeing if he's getting it. ]

[willandaway]

[NEVERMIND THE LOGIC DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO HIM]

[?????]

. . . right?

[makeine]

[ oh my god ]

Your mission? Don't tell me my beautiful looks and winsome personality have fried your brain.

[willandaway]

[. . . oh!! logic makes sense again!!]

So. . . we should delay going to the suite for as long as possible so we're in the spotlight more often. And that will gain us more popularity.

[which is important to him!!]

I understand now. That's smart, Yana-chan.

[makeine]

[ ... maybe she's just delaying her fear too, but-- ]

Exactly! The problem's with everyone else. Like, there's only so many weeks we can put it off, right? But at least there's other options everyone can try, like a pair from the ceremony.

[ except will and minami. ]

[willandaway]

[he has to think about it for a moment, just to logic it through in his mind, but. . . a pair from the ceremony. . . yeah, that's really smart, isn't it? they had one light in addition to Ryuji and Wednesday's. naturally, it's one of the pairs from the ceremony]

What about Dorothea and Sanji?

[makeine]

[ ah......... ]

... I mean, I can't not see it, especially after tonight, but... Sanij-kun told me he likes Mitaka-chan. Josuke-kun and Mark-kun?

[willandaway]

Ah. . .

[oh no. . . he had no idea?? now he almost feels bad for suggesting Dorothea and Sanji]

Josuke and Mark probably are a good option, then. They seem to get along really well.

[makeine]

[ not everyone can be on the pulse like her and ritsuka, it's okay. this is why he has her. ]

Right? Even though I'm totally rooting for Josuke-kun and Ritsuka-chan... He feels like the kinda person she needs.

[ ugh!!! such a struggle. she's staring at their joined hands now. mmm. ]

But I'll find out next week for sure.

[willandaway]

[Ritsuka and Josuke?? HE REALLY IS BEHIND. . . or is he just not paying attention? is this the "women's intuition" that Anna was talking about??]

Well. . . whatever pair we choose, your intuition was right last time. [she hit the Ryuji and Wednesday nail right on the head!] So I'd like to trust your opinion this time, too.

[makeine]

[ help ]

I definitely won't be wrong, but if I am, kindly ignore it since I'm your girlfriend.

[ they definitely correlate.

... this is so nice. does he think it's nice? if he isn't moving he must. or he's staying because he knows he should. ]

I'll let you know like I did before. When it's about that time again.

1/2

[willandaway]

[LIGHTLY JOKING]

Absolutely. I think that's my duty, as your boyfriend.

[HE KNOWS HOW THIS WORKS!!!]

[it's hard to tell which it is based on this banter alone, but. . . he definitely isn't moving. he isn't even thinking of moving!1 his entire body is relaxed against her, perfectly pliant in her grasp, easily molded should she wish to grab onto him a different way. he has settled rather comfortably onto the couch to the point of where drawing back would probably be more of a pain than staying perfectly still where he is]

[he's cozy! and he doesn't wish to be anywhere else than where he is right in this very moment]

[willandaway]

[however, he may also be ruining the moment with a very stupid question]

By the way. . . did you notice? How there were two extra days in the week?

[WHAT THE FUCK WILL]

[makeine]

[ his duty... as her boyfriend... can she get used to this already? even if it's just for convenience essentially -- they both get something out of it -- she'd really like her heart to stop jumping for joy at the fact she actually has a boyfriend. after sixteen long years, twelve of those yearning hopelessly after the same guy, she...

... what????????? ]

Two extra days?

[willandaway]

[. . . oh no. he recognizes that look]

There are only five days in a week. . . right?

[a beat]

Right??

[makeine]

[ ............... starting to feel like this is less of a culture thing and more of a








nah. ]

Well, there's seven where I come from. Where do you put the extra hours?

[ my fucking god ]

[willandaway]

[LORD. . .]

There aren't any. . . you know what.

. . . I think I'll just let this one go.

[seven day weeks! make no sense!! HANDS IN THE AIR!!]

[makeine]

[ heheh ]

No, let's talk about it. What's the five days? Do you still have twelve months?

[willandaway]

[oh. . . and here he was willing to just let things be out of necessity. but if she wants to talk about it, then he won't say no!!]

We do. And each month has thirty days, or six weeks. December has seven, and that last week is Idlesweek, or a week of rest.

[interesting how the months are still the same but the weeks aren't!!]

There are five days in a week: Flamesday, Watersday, Arboursday, Metalsday and Idlesday.

[makeine]

[ she likes learning about him and his. "culture differences". the way next week it'll be oh, other world, this is more nowhere than before, ]

Okay, so, our seven are kinda split between weekdays and the weekend, because they're at the end of the week. Simple, right?

[ her free hand raises and she counts them off, from thumb to pinky. ]

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday -- the same as our Wednesday-chan here -- Thursday, and Friday. And then the weekend is Saturday and Sunday. We don't have an extra week in December, but that'd be nice... My winter break would be longer.

[ wow..... more time away from school....... ]

[willandaway]

[yes, the mere "cultural differences" between them. he's British after all!!]

[he listens to her with a few understanding nods, though he looks a bit disgruntled when she's finished]

It sounds like a pain to have two extra days. . . what purpose does having a "week end" serve?

[makeine]

It ends the week.

[ ... ]

I dunno. Gives you time off from work and stuff, I guess. Like an extended Idlesday... if I get it right?

[ resting... ]

[willandaway]

[what is it like, having "time off?"]

People still work on Idlesday. I don't think most merchants can afford to close their shops.
