Oh, right. Ryuji-kun said something like that before.

[ but her hand lingers anyway before it drops, and she crouches down by the glass to stare at one sun bear that's rolling on the ground. oh, to be a bear...

crazy how he's here now. hm. not thinking hard about it. ]

Look at its chest. See the spot there? That's why they're called sun bears, because they have a sun spot on them. Moon bears have like, a kind of cresent-y one, so that's why they're nicknamed that.

[ she's

trying!! ]

[ not thinking about it rules and he recommends it. Grumpy Steve huffs through his nose, trying to do the same - he's been fairly successful not thinking about Claire up until this point, so he might as well try to keep up his streak. What he hasn't been succeeding at is emotional regulation. He forces himself to look at the bears and tries not to glower. ]

Their faces are kinda creepy.

[ it's the eyes... ]

[makeine]

You're totally mistaken. They look like melted ice cream.

[ is



is that cute???????? ]

[newlugers]

[ IS IT??? it's such an absurd thing to say that he looks back over at her, brow furrowed quizzically. ]

Melted ice cream? What kind of ice cream are you eating?

[makeine]

The melted kind, duh. When you're too into the person you're on a date with and the heat begins to damage the sweet in hand, and when he points it out to you and you hurry to lick up every drop...

[ a sigh. ]

It's romantic.
