Shuuya... [The words 'I love you' rise to her mind and she feels her heart beat faster. It's not that kind of love, is it...? She knows she has a crush, it'd be pointless to deny it, but love?
But as a friend, doesn't she love him?
She smiles and gives his pinky a squeeze.]
...Okay. It's a promise. I won't abandon you either, Shuuya. Not ever.
Hm... Should I tie something around you so I won't lose you? You know if you lose things a lot, you can tie a string to it. If you lose keys, you tie a string to the keys and your inside pocket. Then you won't lose them.
... I'll look dumb if you tie something on me. Anyway, you don't have to worry about it. No matter where you go, I'll-- [his voice falls to a mumble] --I'll be with you.
Then let's start this operation-- [ahh he was gonna say tomorrow but they can't because school] --next weekend! That'll give us plenty of time to prepare!
[It's much nicer than those strange warnings. She hesitates, shifting to pillow her head on her arm.]
...Oh, right... Shuuya, do you want to stay over for dinner tonight? I can make something you like. But it's okay if you'd rather go home early, too.
[They have a lot to think about but they've already decided how to deal with it. Surely they won't draw any strange attention. But it would still be nicer to stay together for a while longer.]
Okay! [She smiles brightly, already feeling better. It's fine if things were strange today; Shuuya won't leave her.] Don't worry, my sisters won't mind if I make something for dinner that you like best. It'll be fun cooking with you too.

...I promise that, too. [She looks back to his face with a smile.] You're my best friend, Shuuya. Of course things will be okay if it's us!

Let's not worry about it, then! It's not like we'll get real involved in it.

Like a theme park or the planetarium or a baseball game or something like that right?!
no subject
Yup, yup! Let's do a theme park, because that's the toughest one to sneak into~
no subject
Right. We can do this. If we come up with a plan, then it's going to be a success. I don't doubt it one bit.

It's fine, I'll call my mom. If I do stay, I'll help you out with dinner!
no subject
no subject
Yup! And you could even teach me your recipes. You're the best cook in the whole city, it's no joke.
no subject
I think your mom is a lot better than me. But thanks. It's good practice to be a mom someday. I'm already one.
