[NEVERMIND THE LOGIC DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO HIM]

[?????]

. . . right?

Edited 2024-11-18 17:40 (UTC)

[ oh my god ]

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

[. . . 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.

[ ... 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. ]

[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?

[ 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?

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.

[ 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.

[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.

[ 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.

[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]

[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]

[ 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?

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

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

[a beat]

Right??

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

[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!!]

[ heheh ]

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

[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.

[ 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....... ]

[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?

Edited 2024-11-20 04:33 (UTC)

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... ]

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

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

Then what's the point of calling it "idles"..?

[ uggggghhhhhhh. she's shuffling more against him, let her get comfortable... he's compliant in being her pillow at least, but she's snuggling under his arm so she can use it as a half-assed blanket instead.

...

they're so close now... ]

Oh. How'd your talk with Ryuji-kun go, by the way? Everything alright? He tell you what he needed?

[. . .]

[what if he just. loops an arm around her back, tugging her towards him so she's pressed directly against his side. this is cozier, right? they're a little closer like this. . . and she slots so well against the crevices of his body that it just makes sense!!]

It went well. I learned a lot. . . about him, and Goro.

[apologetically]

But I don't think it's my place to share any of it. It sounds like. . . they have a very complicated history.

Edited 2024-11-20 05:13 (UTC)

[ oh... this is cozier. she wishes she could sleep like this. her heart isn't letting her. ]

I bet. All under five?
