[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.

[makeine]

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?

[willandaway]

[. . .]

[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.

[makeine]

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

I bet. All under five?

[willandaway]

[. . . . . . . . ]

[APOLOGETICALLY]

. . . twelve.

[makeine]

[ ... trying to... count how many kisses that is... at least two...? three...?

...

she feels somewhat in danger. no, he definitely didn't take it seriously though, so it's fine. ]

Okay.

[ hey. maybe he forgot her joke! it's fine. let's not worry about it. ]

I bet his expression when he found out what you had to do to keep going was super funny.

[willandaway]

[ONLY TWO!! which means he owes her four, actually. . . and don't think he has forgotten, he is just waiting for the right moment]

Oh, he definitely wasn't prepared. He thought it was just hugging.

[POOR. . . POOR RYUJI]

But I don't think I can blame him. The name of that room is very misleading.

[makeine]

[ no, he can forget, she's going to assume he 1. didn't take it seriously and 2. if he did, he forgot. ]

It is. I think I'd call it the Chuu-Chuu Room or something cute like that... It's "chuu-chuu" because when you say it, your lips pucker out. Like a kiss!

[ ... just so he knows! because it's a cute little thing! from her land! ]

[willandaway]

[what do u think is gonna happen on their date]

Chuu-chuu. . .

[he tries the sound out on his tongue. it's so cute. . . and she's right. when he says it, his lips do pucker out. like a kiss!!]

We should ask Tsukasa to rename it.

[makeine]

[ so she is dying ]

I'm sure he can talk the producers into it. Though I don't know how many people might wanna use it afterwards.

[ as if she's

seen anyone but them (and today's addition ofc) go in... ]

[willandaway]

. . . I haven't seen anyone else use it, though. . .

[other than him and Anna and Ryuji, so??]

[makeine]

[ ... ]

Well, maybe it'll get more use next week. Everyone's kinda awkward their first time around each other.

[willandaway]

[. . .]

Were we awkward?

[yes, Will]

[makeine]

[ ... ]

I mean, it was my first time kissing someone, so...

[ yes, will ]

[willandaway]

[sobs. a bit sheepish, he tugs at his scarf]

It was mine, too. [wait] Unless. . . I don't know if Ritsuka's. . . pocky game? Counts.

[makeine]

... Depends. Who'd you end up kissing.

[ let her judge. ]

[willandaway]

Ritsuka.

[if it could even be called a kiss, for how short it was. but at the same time, he kind of counts it!! a little bit??]

1/2

[makeine]

[ tch ]

2/2

[makeine]

It's a kiss if it's with a girl, it's not if it's with a guy.

[ pretend she's all cute and friendly... just the girl next door... ]

[willandaway]

[I. . . ANNA. . .]

[he thinks about that for a moment, features wrinkled]

[. . .]

No. I don't think that's how it works. . .

[makeine]

Who's got more love experience, you or me?

[ can't even say she hypnotized him with her chest, either... but that personality of hers is way better... she's helpful and nice, and easy to talk to... ]
